Yeltsin opens new Russian parliament in Moscow
President Boris Yeltsin opened a new two chamber Russian parliament in Moscow urging cooperation and nonviolence. He noted prior clashes with the old body and recalled sending tanks to crush it while stressing constructive work across diverse parties. Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin warned against abrupt shock type measures as nationalist and Communist forces gain seats. The Duma and Federation Council met separately in different parts of Moscow with reforms and the new constitution anticipated amid political tension.
