MOSCOW, May 26 (AFP) - A top-level struggle for power and influence among Russia's tycoons has resulted in a new compromise government which will benefit the Kremlin above all, Russia's press agreed on Wednesday. Moscow papers pointed out that the biggest surprise came when President Boris Yeltsin on Tuesday appointed a young technocrat, Mikhail Zadornov, as Russia's new economy supremo. Zadornov's nomination "was a reasonable compromise obtained by different groups of influence," the liberal daily Vremya said. "Everyone should be happy now... including the Kremlin because it apparently does not have problems with a man like Mikhail Zadornov," the liberal Sevodnya newspaper said. Zadornov would "serve as a counterweight" to the cabinet's other first deputy prime minister Nikolai Aksyonenko, who has close ties to controversial tycoon Boris Berezovsky, Kommersant said. Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin had earlier favoured the Harvard-trained economist Alexander Zhukov for Zadornov's post. However, the appointment of Mikhail Kasyanov as finance minister "significantly strengthens Stepashin's position," Kommersant added. "The president is pleased with the new government" was the headline in Noviye Izvestia, a newspaper financed by Berezovsky. The new government "will apparently be effective enough to solve vital economic tasks, but will not be as radical as was thought" after the sacking of premier Yevgeny Primakov's government, the centrist Izvestia daily said. While Izvestia worried over the heterogeneous nature of the new cabinet, the newspaper said the cabinet "will not alarm the West." -=-=-
