It is unrealistic to expect that directors in the defense industry immediately be replaced with leaders more suited to the task, as President Boris Yeltsin demanded earlier this summer. Clearly Vice-Governor Vladimir Kolesnichenko recognizes that fact, and seems to want to work with directors, instead of against them. Still, krai officials should not have to take on the burden of responsibility when federal officials make such demands, particularly when it is obvious that those demands cannot be met for a long time, if at all.

But sustaining the land for future generations is just as important as fixing roads. What’s more, a variety of native peoples live off Sikhote-Alin’s rich natural resources. Russia’s constitution, under Article 69, guarantees them fair treatment and aid.
