	RUSNET :: Encyclopedia :: C :: Chernomyrdin
		Viktor Stepanovich Chernomyrdin held positions in the gas and oil industries in the Soviet Union and served as minister of the gas industry from 1985 to 1989 under Gorbachev.
		In 1992 he was brought into the Russian cabinet and President Yeltsin appointed Chernomyrdin to be prime minister in 1992 in what was seen as a concession to those who wanted to go slowly on reform.
		Chernomyrdin kept himself out of the political infighting during Yeltsin's presidential reelection campaign in the summer of 1996, and managed to convince his boss that he had no political ambitions for the presidency.

		Mr Chernomyrdin was slowly converted to the cause of market reform - one colleague cynically called it "the most expensive education in history" - but he was perceived to be lacking in dynamism.

	RUSSIA'S ROAD TO CORRUPTION
		Chernomyrdin was recently brought into court to testify about his role in the illegal export of $180 million worth of diamonds and gold during his administration.
		In light of Chernomyrdin's notorious corruption, the expansion of the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission's role and the decision to make it the fulcrum of U.S. policy were a serious error that abetted the growth of official corruption and crime in Russia, to the detriment of the Russian people and the longer-term U.S.-Russian relationship.
		Vice President Gore's approach to evidence of Chernomyrdin's corruption is a microcosm of the approach he and the Clinton administration took towards the problem of corruption, which extended far beyond Viktor Chernomyrdin.
