Milton Leitenberg: Yeltsin put the foxes in charge of the chickens. This is one of the most catastrophic things in this area. He did other bad things, but in this area, this is one of the stupidest things he did. He put the several generals, two or three, four, that were the most interested in preserving even the chemical weapons, and the biological weapon... sort of... infrastructure, in charge of the commission to get rid of them. So it took ten years before they destroyed... Doctor Kalinina, you know Doctor Kalinina? She was a lady chemist who was Yeltsin's assistant. I quote in the chapter, I think it was 203, she says, "We have still not destroyed one chemical weapon."
