Is There a Trojan Horse in the Communist Party Inside the Russian Duma?
The story of the Trojan horse is set in Greek history. It looked like a happy day for Troy. The Greek army that had laid siege to their town had withdrawn. And, it was obvious that the gods were pleased by this for they sent Troy a beautiful gift: a large wooden horse which was standing outside the city walls. So, in celebration of their easy victory, the Trojans dragged their “gift from the gods” into the center of town. Unfortunately for the hapless Trojans, their celebration was short-lived. Their “gift horse” was filled with Greek soldiers and, as night fell, so did Troy. Moral: Sometimes you get more than you bargained for! With the latest results from the former Soviet Union of horse-trading going on in the on-and-off-again crisis, the Trojan Horse historical fact is very relevant in the situation that is transpiring in Russia today. Yeltsin, playing the card dealt to him by the West, has astutely made a deal by appointment of Yevgeny Primakov as the compromise name for the post
