THE WEEK, Page 15WORLDJust Kidding
At the usually decorous Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe meeting in Stockholm, diplomats rocketed
from their seats when Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev
tossed out the diplomatic equivalent of a fragmentation grenade:
a blistering anti-Western philippic right out of the cold war.
After giving delegates 30 minutes to digest demands that the
West immediately end U.N. sanctions in Serbia and get out of the
Baltics, Kozyrev returned to explain that the speech was a ruse.
His intended message: Don't take Russian democracy for granted.
