Russian Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said Tuesday (07/04) that despite "useful" cross-party talks with President Boris Yeltsin, the Kremlin's new rising star Sergei Kiriyenko will not be confirmed as premier in a first-round parliament vote. The Duma has three chances to approve the president's candidate for premier, after which the head of state is entitled to dissolve the chamber.
