The meeting of the Board of Russian Interior Ministry
on November 29, 1996.
- Russian General Aleksandr Lebed is claiming that
struggle with corruption among government officials and with
criminal powers would be one of
his main duties if he would be elected the President of Russia.
On November 16 (1996), Pete du Pont,
editor of IntellectualCapital.com conducted an exclusive
interview with Lebed in Washington, DC.
During Russia's June, 1996 presidential election, General Lebed
gained 15 percent of the popular vote, placing him third.
He served as secretary of the Russian Security Council and
National Security Advisor for four months until his
dismissal on October 17, 1996.
"Whether the Russian people will love him in the morning,
should he win and govern for a while, may be a story
for another time", - Pete du Pont concludes his
thoughts after the interview. The
audio version in Real Audio (TM) format and the
full text of that interview are available from the IC
