[edit]

I recall he was brought into government to fill the "technical" post of Energy Minister and then Yeltsin made him PM to have more control. Then within a few months he was sacked in mid 1998 in an attempt to restore Cherynomodyn (or however it is spelt) which the Duma refused to pass and so Yeltsin appointed someone else and only appointed Putin in mid 1999.

Or am I thinking of someone else? There seem to have been rather a lot of Russian PMs. Timrollpickering 18:53, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

LOL. You were thinking about Sergei Kirienko. --Ghirla | talk 12:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Stepashin had, for example, presented leaders of the separatist regime in Chechnya with monogrammed pistols"

[edit]

Is the paragraph really adequately sourced? We have a BLP article here. These are very serious claims, and if wrong, then they would constitute slur. --Dorpater (talk) 19:55, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Appointment to PM Disputed

[edit]

I dispute the claim that Yeltin made it very clear that Stepashin's appointment to PM was only temporarily. For example this source indicates that firing Stephashin (and the entire cabinet) was unexpected. It also cites Stephashin for saying he was not given a reason for having been removed from the position. If this notion is not challenged I'll rephrase the entire statement in the wiki article.

Some edits may be very biased/dubious claims are contained within.

[edit]

for example:

the article states: "Stepashin's attitude towards the Chechen conflict was markedly different from that of Vladimir Putin. Stepashin had, for example, presented leaders of the separatist regime in Chechnya with monogrammed pistols, praised the activities of the religious extremists who had taken over several Dagestani villages, and had proclaimed publicly: "We can afford to lose Dagestan!".[2]"

whereas this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/415087.stm) contemporary article has him quoted as saying: "today the situation in Dagestan is very difficult. I think we could really lose Dagestan."

I find it dubious that one person would say two things as utterly contradictory as what is being suggested here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.89.186.255 (talk) 03:26, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
