<i> Washington Post</i>
WASHINGTON —
Alexander I. Lebed, the deposed Russian security chief, will be interviewed by Ted Koppel tonight on ABC-TV’s “Nightline.”
The interview with Lebed in Moscow will be taped via satellite earlier today.
ABC News says the interview will be Lebed’s first on U.S. television since he was fired by Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin on Thursday. He is expected to discuss Yeltsin, the future of U.S.-Russian relations and his political plans, which could include a run at Yeltsin’s job.
