	Terror-99
		Irina Khakamada -- who aims to be the standard-bearer for Western-oriented, pro-democracy voters in March elections -- made the charges in an open letter last week released at a news conference.
		The implication of Khakamada's accusations was that in both the 2002 theater crisis and the 1999 apartment bombings, authorities backing Putin may have wanted to see Russian citizens die and Chechen fighters painted as terrorists to boost support for military action in Chechnya and enhance the get-tough leader's popularity.
		Khakamada appeared to be simultaneously bidding for attention, pressing a serious demand for an impartial investigation of the incidents, asserting independence from the Kremlin and trying to stay out of legal trouble.

		Khakamada may be a popular figure and a proponent of democratic values, but her potential supporters find it hard to believe her nomination was not coordinated with the Kremlin, and they are reluctant to compromise their votes by taking part in a Kremlin-directed game.
		To get her name on the ballot, Khakamada will need to collect 2 million signatures in support of her nomination The deadline is Jan. 28, and the success of this hard and costly task will depend on the Kremlin's goodwill.
		This is the odd paradox of Khakamada's candidacy: The only way she can prove her bona fides would be to fail to gather the 2 million signatures required to get her name on the ballot, since that would mean the Kremlin had sabotaged her efforts.

	The St. Petersburg Times - News - Handling of Dubrovka Queried
		MOSCOW - Presidential hopeful Irina Khakamada distinctly sharpened her rhetoric against President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, arguing in a full-page open letter in Kommersant and at a briefing with reporters that Putin has built "a society based on lies" - first and foremost hiding the truth about what happened at Dubrovka in October 2002.
		Khakamada wrote that after she negotiated with five of the Chechen rebels who took some 800 people hostage at the theater, she came to the conclusion that they "did not plan on blowing up the theater, and the authorities were not interested in saving all the hostages."
		Khakamada dismissed this Wednesday, saying a vote "against all" was merely a way to "be afraid with honor." A boycott, she said, was "dangerous for the democracy we have, because - it means citizens are in fact rejecting a democratic procedure."

		Khakamada, who had entered the theater during the 2002 crisis to negotiate with the hostage takers in person, said that the release of the hostages could have been obtained by means of peaceful negotiations.
		The statement, published in the January 16 issue of Moskovsky komsomolets, zeroed in on one of Khakamada's weak points--the timing of her raising her accusations against the man whose opponent she has just become in the presidential race.
