Lebed to Call for Yeltsin's Ouster KRASNOYARSK, Russia -- (Reuters) Reserve general Aleksander Lebed, a likely presidential contender and governor of a Siberian region, said he would call on President Boris Yeltsin to resign during a nationwide day of protest on Wednesday. In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday in his power base of Krasnoyarsk, Lebed described the economic situation in Russia as "wild," and said he would address the issue in a speech to the crowds expected to turn out in the city center on Wednesday. "Seven years of reforms have been something of an education," he said. "Eighty percent of the population has been driven into poverty. "Any government must serve the people. Or at least not interfere with their ability to survive," he said. "If the authorities cannot cope with that task, that means it is time for them to go, preferably voluntarily, so as not to drive people to the edge." "I am referring to the resignation of concrete individuals, including the president," said Lebed, a former paratroop commander who served briefly as Yeltsin's security adviser after finishing third in the 1996 presidential election. Russian trade unions and leftist opposition parties will hold countrywide demonstrations on Wednesday to demand unpaid wages and call for Yeltsin's removal. Lebed's spokesman, Vladimir Yakushenko, said some 30,000 demonstrators were expected on the streets of Krasnoyarsk. ( (c) 1998 Reuters)
