		Viktor Grishin was another, and probably an even more serious one, because he had entered into collusion with Grigory Romanov, a former Party boss of Leningrad and yet another of Andropovs appointees to the Politburo.
		Gorbachev could not very well come out and say, "Grishin is a corrupt son of a bitch, lets kick him out of the Politburo." The adversarys position had to be undermined in subtler ways.
		It was quite enough for him to smear the opponent without an open clash, and this he fully achieved: Moscow had been abuzz with rumors of scandal in high places before the publication, and now the public had something tangible to sink its teeth into.

		The post, which had long been headed by the very conservative Viktor Grishin, was roughly equivalent to mayor.
		Yeltsin was also made a candidate (nonvoting) member of the Politburo, the party’s top decision-making body, in February 1986.
		He was in some respects a conventional Moscow boss, driving hard to purge supporters of Grishin and to force compliance with centrally set planning targets.

		So all the folks could do was exercise their talents as physiognomists or, as I then used to put it, divine the leaders' political convictions from the expression of their noses.
		And indeed, in December there was yet another of those cozy farewell conversations in Gorbachev's office, feeble protests from Grishin, promptly squashed, and the victim's eventual humble request to the Politburo to be relieved of his duties.
		In historical terms, though, even more tragic was Gorbachev's choice for Grishin's replacement as first secretary of Moscow's Party organization or, as he puts it, "Moscow's governor" - Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, the man largely destined to ruin both Gorbachev himself and the country he was supposed to be the leader of.

		Following the failed coup of August 1991, the Central Committee was dissolved as was the Communist Party itself.

		GRISHIN REPLACED BY YELTSIN Another Politburo member replaced by Gorbachev was Viktor Grishin.
		Grishin had been head of the Soviet trade unions, but more significantly had become First Secretary of the Moscow Party organization, which he held for many years, from 1967 until Gorbachev's accession to Party leader in 1985.
		When Grishin, described by Doder as "sleazy," was removed in December 1985, Gorbachev's big mistake was to let Yeltsin take over the post.

		Control over newly privatized firms gravitated to managers from the Soviet economic establishment, a trend Yeltsin did not resist.
		Their interests were well represented by Viktor Chernomyrdin, who supplanted Gaydar as prime minister at the end of 1992.
		Despite assurances from Yeltsin that reform would yield dividends within a year, the economy contracted steadily from 1992 to 1997, dwindling to less than half its previous size.

		Viktor Grishin, chair of the Duma Committee for Regional Policies, said the draft had been distributed among provincial legislatures so that they could study it and comment before the Duma considers it for the first time November 1.
		Under the current system, lawmakers may only approve or reject a candidate nominated by the president.
		Grishin praised the bill, but said it was not clear on how regional parties would submit their nominations for approval - either by sending them directly to the president or submitting them to a local envoy.

		By now the Politburo was affixing a facsimile of his signature to all letters, like Chernenko had done with Andropov's when he was dying.
		In what was almost universally regarded, even by his opponents, as a cruel act against Chernenko, Politburo member Viktor Grishin dragged the terminally ill Chernenko from his hospital bed to a ballot box to vote in the elections in early 1985.
		After the death of a Soviet leader it was customary for his successors to open his safe and look in it.

		Viktor Grishin, who chairs the Duma Committee on Federation Affairs and Regional Policy, has predicted that the amendments will pass in time to take effect at the beginning of 2006, "Vedomosti" and "Nezavisimaya gazeta" reported on 4 October.
		Grishin speculated that party charters might require a regional branch to coordinate the nomination of a governor with the national party leadership, so as to avoid "regional tyranny," according to "Nezavisimaya gazeta" on 4 October.
		Assuming that Unified Russia leaders at the federal level will demand control over the process of naming gubernatorial candidates, a battle may ensue over which entity in the party will have the final say.

		Grigori Romanov, the hard-line former Leningrad party boss who was once thought to be Gorbachev's chief rival, had apparently given up on winning the top job for himself.
		By some accounts, however, KGB Chief Viktor Chebrikov hinted that his agency had compiled dossiers on corruption in the Moscow party apparatus that could be highly embarrassing to Grishin.
		Gromyko appeared to be saying: this man has not really done all that much yet, but he is still the best we have.

		However, many in the Kremlin camp openly say the plan is mainly aimed at erasing the last vestiges of the liberal era of Putin’s predecessor Boris Yeltsin.
		Grishin was alluding to Yeltsin’s offer to regional bosses to “grab as much independence as you can swallow”, made in the early 1990s when the post-Soviet federation was shaped.
		Putin, who came to power in 2000 on a promise to restore order after Yeltsin’s chaotic rule, has clamped down on the ambitions of regional leaders and ensured their loyalty through a newly acquired right to sack them.

	THE SOVIET UNION: CRISIS, STABILITY, OR RENEWAL?
		Other prominent figures, such as Prime Minister Nikolai Tikhonov and Moscow Party head Viktor Grishin were packed off into retirement.
		Perhaps most important, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was "promoted" to the largely ceremonial post of Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet; his replacement, Eduard Shevardnadze, has no prior experience of international affairs, which suggests that Gorbachev intends to run both foreign and domestic policy himself.
		New appointees to the Politburo or other high positions, such as Nikolai Ryzhkov (the new Prime Minister), Yegor Ligachev, Viktor Chebrikov, and Vitaly Vorotnikov, appear to be close Gorbachev associates.

		When Gorbachev came to power in 1985, he became the boss of bosses, the leader of a Communist Party Politburo in which most of the members were unabashed sultans, men like Aliyev of Azerbaijan, Viktor Grishin of Moscow, Grigori Romanov of Leningrad, Dinmukhamed Kunayev of Kazakhstan, Vladimir Shcherbitsky of Ukraine.
		He delivered the original to the Party leadership and assumed, naively, that it would be read out at the plenum.
		But at the meeting neither Chernenko, Grishin, Romanov, nor any of the other usual suspects in the Brezhnev circle made mention of Andropov's stated wishes.

		Events have proceeded according to the plan I laid out then: Chernenko and the Brezhnev clique have been rebuffed, and Viktor Grishin has been told by Marshal Ustinov that he would have to wait his turn.
