(12 Feb 1999) Russian/Nat A Russian parliamentary panel seeking to impeach President Boris Yeltsin has finalised its guilty verdict and is ready to present it to the full legislature next week. The panel, which has found Yeltsin guilty on all five counts, may meet one more time to settle some procedural issues before presenting its report to the Duma. But the Communist-led effort is unlikely succeed, partly because Russian law gives the president an upper hand in dealing with parliament. Communist impeachment committee chief Vadim Filimonov may not have spent 40 (m) million dollars on his investigation, but his pursuit of Boris Yeltsin has been as tenacious as Kenneth Starr's in tracking Bill Clinton. Filimonov told reporters that formal proceedings against the Russian president could start in March. Among the charges are blame for the collapse of the Soviet Union, the war in Chechnya, economic turmoil and "genocide against the Russian people." There has been no word from the Kremlin, but it has so far taken the view that the charges are political posturing and will not stick. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "The procedure of the impeachment is essential for Russia, regardless of the final vote by the full house. It is a watermark event. For the first time ever, the acting President faces impeachment. It surely will have an effect on the future Presidents." SUPER CAPTION: Elena Mizulina, Impeachment Committee member Friday marked the first time in months that the 68-year-old ailing president had worked for five days in a row. Yeltsin, recovering after two weeks in hospital with a bleeding ulcer, is keen to show he isn't as marginalised as opponents and many ordinary Russians believe him to be. On Friday, Yeltsin met Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and discussed several issues. Yeltsin asked Ivanov to keep him briefed on the Kosovo crisis. But those who want to impeach Yeltsin continue to make comparisons with U-S President Bill Clinton. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "They (the US Congress) have just one count, while we here came up with five separate ones. Even more important though, the US Congress is accusing President Clinton in deeds that basically have nothing to do with his presidential functions. But we here accuse Yeltsin in wrongdoing precisely in his capacity as President of Russia." SUPER CAPTION: Elena Mizulina, Impeachment Committee member The impeachment commission has found Yeltsin guilty of instigating the 1991 Soviet collapse, using force against hard-line lawmakers in 1993, launching the botched war in Chechnya, bringing the nation's military to ruin, and committing "genocide" against the Russian people. The Communist authors of the impeachment inquiry accuse Yeltsin of instigating policies that have impoverished the Russian people and led to a sharp decline in life expectancy. Impeachment commission chairman, Vadim Filimonov, said the commission may meet once more to settle some procedural issues before presenting its report to the State Duma. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I believe that the full house of parliament will approve the motion of impeachment in several counts at least." SUPER CAPTION: Vadim Filimonov, Duma's impeachment committee chairman But the Communist-led effort is unlikely to succeed, partly because Russian law gives the president an upper hand in dealing with parliament. To be approved, the impeachment motion must win a two-thirds majority in the lower house, which is considered unlikely.
