	Stepashin Resigns His Post
		The chairman of the Audit Chamber, Sergei Stepashin, stepped down Wednesday ahead of a debate on the legality of Russia's privatizations of the 1990s, saying the move was in line with a new law that requires the president rather than the State Duma to appoint him.
		Stepashin, the man charged with reviewing the chaotic sell-offs, said his decision to leave the chamber was due to technical reasons and is not connected with the report he produced at the end of November, which criticized government officials for ignoring the law during the privatizations between 1993 and 2003.
		Stepashin told NTV television that his resignation was aimed at giving President Vladimir Putin "an opportunity to think about a new chairman," and said he and his deputy had already applied for reappointment.

		Sergei Stepashin’s meetings with Vice President Gore provide the opportunity to take a close look at Stepashin, to take measure of his character and determine whether he could become the next president of Russia, as Anatoly Chubais clearly hopes he will.
		Stepashin is a viable presidential candidate for many reasons, a few of which I present now, not as an advocate for his candidacy, but rather from the perspective of a political campaign organizer.
		Stepashin could also distinguish himself from Luzhkov by portraying the Moscow mayor as a local leader who is ill-suited for leadership of an entire country.

		Actually, it is no surprise that Stepashin was removed from power despite his unquestioning loyalty to President Boris Yeltsin and Yeltsin's "family." But this same "family" came to regard the faithful Stepashin as "inadequate." This was because he had become popular in his own right and posed a threat to Yeltsin and his circle.
		As Stepashin said, "one delicate question was discussed between Al Gore and myself, and we found complete understanding on it, and that is, neither the special services nor the other agencies in any extent should be allowed to hinder the establishment of political or partner-like relations, but, on the contrary, should further this."

		Stepashin had sought a second first deputy as a counterweight to Nikolai Aksyonenko, who was foisted on him by Yeltsin.
		Stepashin's woes in getting his desired first deputy - and eight days of accompanying confusion about who exactly was finance minister - subjected the new prime minister to a flood of speculation that he was not in charge of his own Cabinet, which was portrayed as the plaything of powerful Kremlin clans.
		Stepashin picked up a few political points Monday by winning Zadornov's appointment as the government's representative to international lending organizations, an appointment he described on television as "my personal request" to the president.

		Stepashin undertook the review of Russia's intelligence files in 1992 at the request of Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., who was head of the congressional task force assigned to examine the controversy.

		Stepashin desperately needs to score some points in the Kremlin’s favor game: “To Catch an Oligarch.” If Abramovich is to be “caught”, surely that pleasure will be assigned to someone else.
