ussian President Boris
Yeltsin's latest Cabinet
reshuffling could hinder
the government's ability to
crack down on anti-Semitism, accord-
ing to Russian Jewish leaders.
"There is little grounds for opti-
mism when we call on the govern-
ment to ensure stability but there is
no stability with the government
itself," said Pavel Feldblum, the exec-
utive vice president of Moscow's
Jewish community.
Feldblum's comments came after
Yeltsin sacked his entire Cabinet,
including Prime Minister Sergei
Stepashin, in a surprise move
Monday. Yeltsin replaced Stepashin,
the fourth prime minister he has
fired in the last 17 months, with
security chief Vladimir Putin, a for-
mer KGB spy.
During a trip to Washington last
month, Stepashin condemned anti-
Semitism in Russia and vowed to
"eradicate" it.
The news in Russia took leading
politicians, experts and ordinary peo-
ple by surprise. Last week, Moscow's
leading newspapers speculated about
an impending Cabinet reshuffle, but
few expected the change would come
about so soon.
Like Stepashin, the 47-year-old
Putin is a native of St. Petersburg. A

former aide to St. Petersburg's liberal
ex-Mayor Anatoly Sobchak who was
virtually unknown until last year,
Putin has enjoyed a meteoric rise in
the Kremlin.
Recently, Putin has been the
director of the Federal Security
Service, the Russian domestic intel-
ligence agency that is the successor
to the Soviet-era KGB, as well as
the secretary of Yeltsin's Security
Council.
As the former head of the FSS,
Security Council and a presidential
commission to combat extremism,
Putin dealt with the issues of anti-
Semitism, neo-Nazism and racism in
Russian society. But he has never
made any direct public comments
concerning anti-Semitism.
Putin has had several meetings
with Jewish officials, according to
Moscow's chief rabbi, Pinchas
Goldschmidt. The rabbi was among
the Jewish leaders who met last year
with Putin, then head of the FSS, to
discuss security-related issues.
Another participant at the meeting
was Mark Levin, executive director of
the Washington-based National
Conference on Soviet Jewry. Levin
called Putin "sympathetic" to issues
raised by the Jewish leaders.
But Levin and the Union of
Council for Soviet Jews, another
U.S.- based advocacy group for Jews
in the former Soviet Union, expressed
caution over Putin's appointment to
prime minister. 17
