		On Dec. 5, the Congress of Peoples Deputies voted 1,041 to 693 to amend the Russian Constitution and thereby dilute some of the power of the executive branch of the Russian government.

		Members of the Congress of Peoples Deputies have given hundreds of speeches protesting that the process of reaching out to the banks will ultimately mean that the territory of the former USSR will become a raw materials base for the imperialist monopolies.

		Now that the Congress of Peoples Deputies has administered a rebuff to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, and has thereby restricted his attempt to enlarge his political power, it has adjourned in a triumphant mood.
		In Russia the struggle between the two branches of government, between the Yeltsin executive and the Congress of Peoples Deputies, is an expression of the class struggle.
		Unless the Russian Congress of Peoples Deputies gives priority to the two fundamental issues of privatization and inflation and takes clear-cut measures to halt both these plagues, the country faces the danger of falling completely into the arms of the seven imperialist robbers, the so-called G7 countries.
