Yeltsin Is Finished, Says Gorbachev

ROME -- (Agence France Presse) Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Wednesday dismissed his successor President Boris
Yeltsin as a man who "has had his day."

"Yeltsin has not managed to impose his strategy. Now the line and the regime must change," Gorbachev said on a visit to Rome.

The father of "perestroika" (restructuring) said that "neither Yeltsin nor the old communists who want to return to power can do
anything" to get Russia out of its economic crisis.

"The West must help us," he added.

Gorbachev judged new premier Yevgeny Primakov as "slow but serious," saying: "He's thinking but doesn't yet have a program and
the situation is getting worse."

Gorbachev was in Rome to inaugurate the Italian branch of the ecological group Green Cross International, of which he is
founder-president. ( (c) 1998 Agence France Presse)
