Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 17, 1990 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.
