I was suppose to write a report for Straightfacts Radio on the Yeltsin 
visit! But what can one say about Yeltsin's visit other then the main 
bourgeisie rags editorial comments incapsulated in the question "What did 
Boris Yeltsin promise or say?"
which in the next moment was revised by one of the two hundred bureaucrats 
and business men in his entourage. The truth is that I can't believe that 
imperialism put their cards on this drunk and senile idiot! What it does 
reflect is the complete bankruptcy of the Stalinists who could not even 
manage building any kind od opposition to Jeltsin..

The only thin that came out of this three day visit was the picture of a 
Swedish jubilant parliament drooling over every word Jeltsin said. And then 
asked what did he mean? as soon as it was over. So the only thing the Swedes 
managed with this visit was a smiling platform for imperialism's man in the 
ex-Soviet Union who is completely out of it..

In the final analisis I have nothing really to say about the Yeltsin visit. 
Other then what the main conservative paper said in its wind up of Yeltsins 
visit. They said we will have to see what was said at the meeting out of the 
public eye to see what the Social Democratic government is cooking up..

Warm regards
