Russia: Ex-premier Released From Hospital (New York Times)


Yegor T. Gaidar, a former prime minister and architect of market reforms, was released from a Moscow hospital, his spokesman said. Russian doctors were expected to release information on his condition on Tuesday, said a spokesman, Valery A. Natarov. Mr. Gaidar fell ill in Ireland last month shortly after the death in London of a former KGB agent, Alexander V. Litvinenko, from radiation poisoning.
