Yeltsin Attacks Soviet-Era Housing Benefits
The burning issue for Russians these days is not NATO expansion or President Boris N. Yeltsins health. It is Mr. Yeltsins plan to end housing and utility subsidies. In a politically risky move that has galvanized much of Russia, Mr. Yeltsin is pressing to phase out the enormous subsidies by 2003. The logic is clear. Six years after the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia has emerged with an economy that is part free market and part socialist. Prices for food and clothing have soared, often exceeding those in the West. But most Russians still pay a pittance for shelter, leaving cash-strapped local governments to pick up most of the tab.. Pres Boris Yeltsins plan to end housing and utility subsidies has galvanized much of Russia; housing subsidies, geared to apartment size, benefit emerging middle class more than the poor; subsidies eat up scarce funds that could be used to pay back wages, retrain displaced workers or improve nations dismal health care; utility subsidies have spawned almost palpable disdain for energy conservation; First Deputy Prime Min Boris Nemtsov notes that home heating consumption in Russia is five times greater than in northern Europe; Russians accustomed to cheap rents and battered by high prices in other sectors of economy view projected fourfold increase in housing and utility costs more as sign of Government indifference to them than as act of reform; populist politicians are attacking plan, and regional leaders, who privately back it, are loath to endorse it publicly; photo (M)
