SOVIETS
Continued from page 1
for swift and dramatic reform sup-
ported by legislators from the Rus-
sian Republic.
Gorbachev, however, has been
criticized for not implementing mar-
ket reforms sooner. Soviets face
shortages of food and many other
products; store shelves are bare.
Yesterday's rally came a day after
a leading reformer, Moscow Mayor
Gavriil Popov, said on national tele-
vision that Ryzhkov's Cabinet
should step aside for a government
trusted by the people, the 15 Soviet
republics and foreign nations.
Popov said Ryzhkov had no real
plan for reforming the economy.
Ryzhkov, who appeared in a sep-
arate TV program Saturday night, de-
fended his plan for moderate eco-
nomic reform and said: "we will stop
at nothing to reform it."
Ryzhkov and Popov, who quit
the Communist party in July and fa-
vors the plan for radical reform were
interviewed briefly >n the evening
news program Vremya, with longer
versions played later on separate
channels.
Popov, who quit the Communist
Party in July and favors the plan for
radical economic reform drawn up by
economist Stanislav Shatalin, said:
"the government did not have, does
not have and does not want to have
any real plan for a transition to the
genuine market."
He said Ryzhkov's government
was responsible for the deplorable
state of the Soviet economy, the
lack of consumer good and a grow-
ing deficit.
"We are sick and tired of empty
shops and devalued money, we want
no more crises," Popov said.
Shatalin's plan approved by Rus-
sian legislators, calls for transferring
most economic authority from the
national government to the re-
publics, who then could move inde-
pendently toward market economies.
The rally also came two days
after a constitutional committee
ruled against a decree to give the So-
viet government - rather than the
Moscow government headed by
Popov - the authority to allow or
ban rallies in the center of the Soviet
capital. Gorbachev issued the decree
in April.
