He claims this will decentralize decisions and cut bureaucratic overhead, shifting authority from Moscow to the provinces while Moscow still fixes prices, taxes, and policy. The plan, like prior efforts, preserves Kremlin control through regional party secretaries, not genuine decentralization.

U S Diplomat Bowe Expelled From Moscow
The State Department says Russia ordered U S diplomat Martin S Bowe Jr expelled from Moscow without explanation. Press Officer Lincoln White said the embassy has demanded to know why Bowe was sent out. Bowe is second secretary at the U S Embassy in Moscow. The Russians gave no deadline for departure and the action appeared linked to Moscow retaliation after Gennadi Mashkantsov was expelled last month for attempting to lure Russians in the United States back home.
