Feeling cheated by Moscow's irregular payments and its willing ness to rent out his regions storage facilities at below-market prices, the governor of a prominent Russian region resorts to plutonium diplo macy to demonstrate his autonomy. He unilaterally bans international shipments of nuclear waste into the region until local economic demands are met. The same governor also issues veiled threats to commandeer strategic nuclear missiles stationed in the region. Fact or fiction? A power-hungry governor in the Russian Far East demands control of the Kurile Islands, upsetting delicate negotiations and the establish ment of closer relations between Moscow and Tokyo. The same local autocrat denounces Moscow's agreements on border demarcation and strategic partnership with Beijing and instructs the local militia to intimidate Chinese traders. Fact or fiction? The president of Russia's largest republic establishes independent commercial and diplomatic ties with both Iraq and Iran. His admin istration also threatens to reexamine the republic's status in the Russian Federation and to send volunteers to fight on the side of the Kosovars should Moscow formalize a Slavic union with Belarus and Serbia.
