LEBED TO LEAD NEW MOVEMENT…

Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Lebed plans to set up his own political movement, "Truth and Order," which is intended to play an active role in the regional elections set for October-December. The name comes from Lebed’s election program. Joining him will be the economist Sergei Glazyev, leader of the Democratic Party of Russia, and Dmitri Rogozin, founder of the Congress of Russian Communities. A founding congress will be held on September 15. (Interfax, July 24)
