…AND ELSEWHERE.

Two rival demonstrations took place yesterday in Kiev. As approximately 5,000 communists listened to speeches denouncing President Leonid Kuchma’s market reforms, national-democrats led by their most prominent figure, Vyacheslav Chornovil held a "gathering of mourning" for the millions of victims of Soviet oppression. In Crimea’s capital Simferopol, a rally by several hundred Russian communists called for the restoration of the USSR. In Minsk, the November 7 celebration drew an estimated 7,000 to 9,000 participants. Speakers called for support to socialist ideas and communist and leftist candidates in the upcoming legislative elections. (2)
