13-STRONG STATE DUMA DEFENCE COMMITTEE INCLUDES 9 MANAGERS

MOSCOW, February 2 (AVN) -- Nine out of the 13 members of the parliamentary Defence Committee are occupying "managing" posts.

Alexey Arbatov (Yabloko), Nikolay Bezborodov (Russia's Regions), Eduard Vorobiev (Union of Right-wing Forces), Alexander Korzhakov (independent deputy), Vladimir Lushin (Unity), Alexander Mikhailov (Communist Party), Mikhail Musatov (LDPR) and Valentin Chaika (People's Deputy) were appointed deputy chairmen.

However it is not unlikely yet another deputy chairman will join them, in case a deputy from the Fatherland bloc is going to enter the Committee.
