Does the G-8 care that criminals are hijacking Russia?
Earth Times News Service, June 22, 1997
Will people one day talk about the looting of Russia the way they recently talked about the looting of Zaire?
Western leaders meet this weekend (June 20-22) in Denver at the G-8 Summit on economic policy. They have the chance to take the drastic action needed to combat the criminalization of the Russian economy which threatens not only Russia but their own countries as well.
The G-8, which includes the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia, probably won’t do anything to deal with this problem, but it won’t be for lack of knowing about it.
