Yaacov,

Properly "campaigned", Lebed could be the "salt of the earth" that provides the order so many Russians seem to crave, but not the megalomania and craving for power associated with most party members.

Of course, he could get into office and then totally be corrupted by the power, but that's a risk that anyone faces when they achieve that sort of office.

And you're right about the distorted view of Russia. The Russian peasant and working class have always born the the burden to their leaders follies. Now they have to deal with Oligarchs who are seldom more than mafia bosses or robber barons.

Regards,

Ron
