A BLOODY RED ARMY DAY

With their last truce in shambles and Russian shells falling again, Chechen rebels promised a "bloodbath" to avenge Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's mass deportation of their people exactly 50 years ago. In Moscow, President Boris Yeltsin marked Russia's Red Army Day by admitting his troops were getting "wobbly," but he denied that they have committed atrocities in Chechnya. Yeltsin himself looks as wobby as ever: New polls say two-thirds of Russians think he should not run for president in 1996, and more than half would like him to resign now.
