Two "dark horses" to enter Russian politics in 2002 - Astrologist

MOSCOW. Dec 24 (Interfax) - Two "dark horses" will emerge on the Russian political scene in 2002, well-known Russian astrologist Pavel Globa told the press on Monday.

They will appear, as it were, from out of the blue in the Chinese Year of the Horse, Globa said. Most probably, they will become known when the leadership of the leftist movement is replaced, he said.

One of the new men will become a charismatic leader and work out a sound economic program incorporating neo-communist slogans, Globa said. The new man will not challenge President Vladimir Putin because he will not become president until 12 to 13 years from now, when the period of the opposition of Mars ends, he predicted.

The year 2002 will be "a positive period," Globa said. "The president will remain, he will serve out his full term without any doubt," he said. An economic rise is about to start, but the spring will see a minor crisis originating in the countries of the East, he said.

Cabinet reshuffles are likely in the summer and fall, but they will benefit Russia, Global said.
