There was a large article in current Russian journal Ogonek on the profession of image-maker - new for Russia. This is an interview with an image-maker. Lebed' had 1 group working for him, while his opponent had 6. However, these 6 were not coordinated - that was a mistake. As a result the large city voted for the opponent, but still Lebed won. Besides, looks like big money was after Lebed (Berezovsky wanted once again to demonstrate his power - he won't support Lebed for president, I hope; that's why Lebed' is claiming he won't run). He also covered surprising "Yeltsin's win in 1996 elections. Anyway - this sort of calmed my fears on longer term political situation. From that article, image-making seems crucial in Russia right now - it's much easier to sell, since not many care about politics now (disgusted), and you don't have to pay cash when voting. Big bucks won't support a candidate whose goal will be nationalization of private property. In other words, big bucks are in control. -Vi
