What's this, Alexei?

Alexei Kokorin, Russian Federation

My name is Alexei.

Alexei Sedykh is alive.

Mr. Alexei Fedotov (Russian Federation)

Alexei These are your ladiesinwaiting

You're back, Alexei Nikolaevich. Zoika.

Members Mr. Alexei S. Avtonomov (2004 2006)

Mr. Alexei Maslov United Nations Civil Affairs

Tell me, Alexei, are you still fond of me?

We once saw Alexei Tolstoy walking in the woods.

Alexei I suggest that you wait in the next room.

You're in love with His Excellency, Count Alexei, aren't you?

This is Count Alexei, field marshal of the Russian Army... grand master of the hunt... lord of the chamber and ambassador extraordinary... from Her Divine Majesty, Elizabeth of Russia.

The Assembly, as recommended by the Fifth Committee in the same paragraph, also appointed Mr. Alexei Fedotov to fill the remainder of a four year term of office expiring on 31 December 2000.

In the same paragraph, the Fifth Committee also recommends that the General Assembly should appoint Mr. Alexei Fedotov to fill the remainder of a four year term of office expiring on 31 December 2000.

So, instead of building gulags, neo authoritarians launch criminal cases. The defendants range from political opponents and critics in Russia such as the oil oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the anti corruption lawyer Alexei Navalny to independent journalists in Erdoğan s Turkey.

The problem is that policymaking is concentrated in the Kremlin, where economic expertise is lacking. Indeed, the last of the economic heavyweights all of them holdovers from the 1990s in Putin s personal circle was Alexei Kudrin, who resigned as Finance Minister in 2011.

But the pro democratic policies of glasnost and perestroika that I unveiled in the mid 1980's did not appear out of thin air. They arose from Nikita Khrushchev's reforms of the 1950's and 1960's, and from Alexei Kosygin's reforms later on.

Everyone expects that the current president, the puppet Dmitry Medvedev, to switch roles with Putin after the March elections. But waiting in the wings is former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, who could replace Medvedev should Russia need a factotum of sincerity about economic reform.

Likewise, in Russia, President Vladimir Putin rules a state apparatus designed and run by elements of the country's old intelligence services and its new mafia. The law is used to reward the regime's cronies and to penalize its critics, such as the businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the activist Alexei Navalny.

As a result of the resignation of Mr. Alexander V. Chepourin (Russian Federation), the Committee also decided, by acclama tion, to recommend that the General Assembly appoint Mr. Alexei Fedotov (Russian Federation) to fill the remainder of the four year term beginning on the date of appointment and expiring on 31 December 2000.

Two days earlier, United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk and European Union Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton had completed successful talks on Russia s accession to the WTO with Putin s first deputy, Igor Shuvalov, Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, and Minister of Economy and Development Elvira Nabiullina. As late as June 3, Putin had declared himself sure of Russia s swift joining of the WTO.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has consistently used the courts to neutralize his opponents. Currently, the anti corruption activist Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Putin s regime, is being prosecuted for allegedly conspiring to embezzle from a state owned timber firm, while Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in prison after accusing several Russian officials of large scale embezzlement, is being tried posthumously on conspiracy charges.

The decision to allow opposition leader Alexei Navalny to stand in Moscow s recent mayoral election was a welcome move toward a more open system, but the political calculation behind it and the likelihood of vote rigging to prevent a runoff against his victorious opponent hardly suggest a Pauline conversion to democracy. The Putin regime occupies a space between dictatorship and democracy for which Western political science has yet to find a proper word.
