Here's a strange article about Yeltsin's "resignation":

Analysis by Russian Defector: Y2K Bug Forced Yeltsin Out
NewsMax.com
December 31, 1999

Colonel Stanislav Lunev, the highest-ranking military spy to ever defect from Russia, writes an exclusive column for NewsMax.com on Russia, military/espionage matters and foreign policy.
Col. Lunev offered his immediate analysis of the breaking news story that President Yeltsin had resigned effective today, handing the Russian presidency to his Prime Minister, Vladmir Putin.

Here are Col. Lunev's Key Points:

Y2K Bug: Last week, key members of Yelstin's inner circle - his family, money backers and political entourage - had a meeting. During the meeting, these members, referred to in mafia language as Yeltsin's "family," were, no doubt, informed about the disaster the Y2K computer problem may hold for Russia.

The family knows that Yeltsin is out of his mind, and has little support in the Russian military. There are fears and concerns of an accidental nuclear war. This is why the U.S. and Russia have sent top-level officers to each others military and nuclear command posts. The family knows that Yeltsin would be unable to handle a crisis involving nuclear weapons and that he would have to be removed, or risk removal by the Russian military.

There will be economic and social disruptions because of Y2K. Yeltsin's family has gotten something of a victory in the Parliamentary elections, and they feel Yeltsin needs to exit before Y2K erupts. Otherwise he risks the wrath and blame of the Russian people if disaster strikes.

Putin: Putin is first and foremost a KGB man. After graduating from Leningrad University, he was shipped to East Germany as an intelligence officer. He was not a good intelligence officer, so he was sent back to Russia and was re-assigned to counter-intelligence. After the fall of the U.S.S.R., Putin was assigned by the KGB to work with a rising political star, Anitoliy Sobchak, who went on to become mayor of Leningrad, renamed St. Petersburg. Putin became Sobchak's right-hand man and gained the notice of Yeltsin and the family.

Putin was brought into the Yeltsin government, and made head of the Federal Security Service, the successor agency of the KGB. When Yeltsin sacked Primakov as Prime Minister, the family turned to Putin. It is widely believed that Putin has promised the family that Yeltsin will not be prosecuted after he leaves office. At the same time the family is said to have incriminating evidence on Putin.

Putin and the future Russia: Putin is an extremely cold-blooded individual. His nickname is "Andropov Jr." -- after the former head of the KGB, Yuri Andropov. Andropov, who died as General Secretary of the communist party, was known as one of the most sinister and cunning men in the Soviet hierarchy.

Already Putin has shown with his political and ruthless war in Chechnya that he is willing to sacrifice blood to fulfill his ambitions. He is a hawk. In recent months he has announced a massive increase in the Russian military budget - by more than 50 percent. He also has returned Russia's nuclear forces to a Cold War footing. More ICBM's have been deployed and test fired in the past 6 months than in any period since the end of the U.S.S.R.

Putin will show his military muscle to the world. He is aggressive and dangerous. He will do anything to reach his targets.
