COMMUNIST SAYS YELTSIN OVERSPENDS, STEALS IDEAS.

Publication: Monitor Volume: 2 Issue: 107

But Yeltsin’s campaign came under fire yesterday from the communist speaker of the Duma speaker, Gennady Seleznev. Seleznev accused the president of exceeding campaign spending limits, saying he was monopolizing the media and spending millions of dollars on campaign stunts. "The voter is being bombarded with information, the television is talking day and night about supporting the incumbent," Seleznev complained. He also accused Yeltsin of stealing his campaign policies from his rivals, saying that Yeltsin paid no attention to social issues until rivals Gennady Zyuganov and Grigory Yavlinsky incorporated higher living standards for the poorer members of society into their campaign platforms.
