	Workers World [Sam Marcy]: Yeltsin losing momentum (Dec. 17, 1992)
		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.
		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.
		Thus, from a strictly legal point of view, holding a presidential election for Yeltsin outside of the constitutional framework of the Congress of Deputies is illegal and contrary to the framework and constitution of the Congress of Peoples Deputies.

	Workers World [Sam Marcy]: Yeltsin, the Congress and state property (March 25, 1993)
		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.
		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.
		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.

		The posters acquired by LC are the actual ones that were displayed in cases on Moscow streets during meetings of the Supreme Soviet and Congress of Peoples' Deputies.

		The Library of Congress currently holds about 700,000 physical volumes (books, sets, continuations, and bound periodicals) in Russian, and approximately the same number of volumes in other languages of the former USSR and volumes in Western languages about Russia and the former Soviet Union.

		The average staff size of a Mexican legislator is 3 or 4 people, and that is insufficient for their responsibilities and duties.
		Finally, the “new” Mexican Congress can be assessed with regards to its “productivity.” Over the last few years, the legislative branch has been more active in submitting its own bills, though they are not always drafted with the needed expertise.
		As recently as the early 1990s the PRI held 65 % of the Chamber of Deputies’ seats; today, still the House's largest party, it commands only 42% of the seats.
