Publication: Monitor Volume: 3 Issue: 72

A new group is reportedly forming in the lower house of the Russian parliament that will seek to counteract the Duma’s "Anti-NATO" group. The deputies behind the move call themselves the "Atlantic" group and seek to promote dialogue between Russia and NATO. The new group includes Konstantin Borovoi and representatives of the Yabloko and Russia Regions factions. (Ekho Moskvy, April 9)
