SCANDAL. Presidents of Estonia, Hungary and Finland demonstratively leave Russia

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:58:22 GMT

For censorship considerations, Russian media have concealed from their readers the fact that Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves left not only the conference room in protest of the slander against Estonia voiced at the so-called "Fifth World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples", but he also left Russia and returned to Tallinn on a passenger plane. Russian-speaking readers were able to find out about it only from the forum of Estonian information agency Delfi. Ordinary Estonians fully approved of the action done by their President and pointed out that President has done well, did the right thing and that he shouldn't have gone to that propagandistic show in the first place, in the middle the purposeful Russification of Finno-Ugric nations enslaved by Russia. Russian mass media also concealed from the citizens of the Russian Federation that Presidents of Finland and Hungary left the conference room as well, after which they too left Russia following the President of Estonia. Estonian newspaper Eesti Päevaleht writes: "Member of Parliament (The Riigikogu) Ivi Eenmaa, who spoke right after President Toomas Hendrik Ilves left the Finno-Ugric Congress in protest, said that she felt very ashamed and sorry that the Congress was ruined. "She added that the departure of Presidents of Finland and Hungary, who left the conference room shortly after President Ilves, can be viewed as a sign of protest in response to the untruthful interpretation of history coming from the stage. "Ms. Eenmaa, who was speaking on behalf of Estonians in Estonian language, switched to Russian in the end of her speech - she had to refuse to have her speech interpreted simultaneously, since for instance, from the speech given by Yje Sarv, speaking on behalf of the Setu nation, the part that mentioned the disunity of Setumaa (The Setu Land) was not translated (mentioning the ongoing Russian occupation of some lands of the Setu nation - KC). "Ms. Eenmaa said in Russian when she pointed at the slanderous speech by the Chairman of the Russian Duma's International Affairs Committee, Konstantin Kosachev and the departure of President Ilves that followed it, �We are very ashamed for what happened, and being a member of parliament, I can confirm: what has been said from the stage about Estonia is a lie.' " During a break some participants of the forum made a statement to Ivi Eenmaa, in which they supported the resolute action by President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. Ms. Eenmaa was also surrounded by reporters of various TV channels, who wanted to find out the undistorted truth about the events of the Bronze Night and the situation in Estonia.

SCANDAL. Estonians demonstratively leave congress in Khanty-Mansiysk

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:03:21 GMT

The Estonian delegation headed by the country's President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, has left a forum for Finno-Ugric nations in protest at comments made by the Chairman of Russian Duma's (Parliament's) International Affairs Committee, Konstantin Kosachev, who said that Estonia's ethnic policies are "unprincipled". "One can't be solving problems in such a way, so that they affect the aggravation of ethnic conflicts," Russian official said when he was complaining about the behavior of European Parliament when supporting the Estonian authorities. "It is pure politics. Unlike other states on former territories of our country, Russia has no need in special policies towards various ethnic groups. We have no problem with people of different ethnicities getting along with one another and living in a good-neighborly relations," Kosachev said. At that moment the entire Estonian delegation headed by the country's President got up from the parterre and demonstratively left the auditorium of Yugra-Classic Concert Hall, used as a conference room by the Congress. The delegates smiled and waved goodbye to the audience. The audience started applauding, and the Russian parliament member, who was giving a speech, said, "I regard your applauds as support for the negative assessment of unprincipled policies of certain states of the Finno-Ugric world. The goal of the Congress is to really assist the people on the problems that they bring up, and use the forum as a field for cooperation instead of inflaming ethnically-based conflicts." The Fifth World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples opened in Khanty-Mansiysk, Siberia on Saturday. It goes under the motto "Identity and Changing World". The event was attended by representatives of all Finno-Ugric peoples in Russia, as well as delegations from Finland, Hungary and Estonia. Kavkaz Center

'Holocaust victims' turned out to be victims of Gulag

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:37:45 GMT

Prominent American historian Sergei Melnikoff announced that he has dealt another blow to the so-called "Holocaust" myth. After he provided the information that it is not the victims of the "holocaust" against the Jews, but the victims of the Holocaust of Russians organized by the Red Russian-speaking unmen, the "Holocaust Museum" in Jerusalem had to remove that photograph from its exhibition, which Mr. Melnikoff was notified about personally in written form by the museum's director. Melnikoff writes: "One of the main targets for the beastly youngsters with no home, nation or brains was the photograph that Red Russian scum was ascribing to the crimes committed by the Nazis in Estonia. That scum was fulminating: �All photos allegedly made in Gulag are really from the concentration camps in Estonia, made in 1942-1943. All of these photos are in Yad Vashem archive ("The Holocaust Museum") in Jerusalem and are available for seeing. Some of them are hanging in the "Wall of Memory", others are in the "Pavilion of Killed Children".' "I made a special inquiry to Yad Vashem - they were shocked that their materials are being falsified and they asked for references to the forum and the website. "Sure, the bloodstained fathers and mothers were echoing their sons. Russia's state archive was sick enough to place the tragic photos, no, not in the remembrance section, but on the pages of "Victory!". One of the photos was accompanied by the following inscription: �Bodies of the Jews, inmates of Klooga (Estonia) concentration camp, shot before the arrival of the Red Army. Bodies are piled in special pyramids to be burned.' "Although, just in case they get caught red-handed, like they were caught with the stories about human soap and lampshades made of human meat and skin, Russian man-hating propagandists of hatred wrote with fine print right below that photo: Location of photo: not established Author of photo: not established GARF, F.7021. Op. 128 D.224 L.53 "It was all clear about the "address" of Russian propagandists - that "new noble" pedigreed cattle got used to lying anyway. But we have always been confused not as much by the modest caption under the photo as by the persistence of sputtering goblins. There was something wrong there. "And finally we received a message from Mr. Yitzchak about that very photo. A very typical message. "There is no such photo in Yad Vashem's archive. And do you know why not? Yitzchak writes: "THIS IS THE PICTURE OF SOLOVKI ISLANDS THAT RUSSIAN/SOVIET CANNIBALS PRESENT AS THE KLOOGA CONCENTRATION CAMP!" "Another confirmation is not only open official publication of exposure of Soviet cannibalistic lies, but the howl around this particular photo raised by the descendants of the Soviet cannibalistic communist party functionaries and offspring of cannibals from the Soviet secret police (NKVD, which later became KGB), -- the ones who stayed in Russia as well as the ones who left the country. "The "Christian conscience" of the present-day defenders of killers of Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, Chechens, Kalmykians, Volga Germans, Pontian Greeks, Crimean Tatars, Ingushetians, Karachayans and other INNUMERABLE victims is not just quiet. They are sputtering with poison and saliva when describing the pleasures of the Soviet regime that killed millions of these people, and the merits of the KGB butchers, their ancestors. "Seized property of the "repressed" (this is the mild way these cannibals/unmen were calling the mass murders) was going to the account of special department of NKVD. The best of it was then given to the butchers and to communist party functionaries through special distribution shops." Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Death of Bodrov, film director and actor, was God's punishment

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 08:40:11 GMT

Russian media reported that the death of Russian-speaking film director Bodrov was God's punishment. During the shooting of the movie "War" ("Voina") Bodrov's film crew was staging a combat and set a Muslim cemetery on fire in one of the villages high in the mountains of Upper Balkaria. All vegetation in the cemetery was burned, and gravestones got cracked and turned black. The following day a messenger from Bodrov came to the Imam of Circassian District and handed him 10 thousand Russian rubles (equals to about $416 US dollars) for restoration of the cemetery and 5 more thousand rubles ($208) for the needs of Kashkhatau fire station. In the evening Bodrov paid a personal visit to Imam and asked him for an apology. "To forgive is up to the Most High only!" Imam replied to Bodrov. When Bodrov's crew ended up under a mudflow in the Karmadon Gorge, the locals of Upper Balkaria said right away: "God's punishment still caught up with him!" The dead body of the Russian-speaking blasphemer has not been discovered till this day despite the unceasing intense searches. We would also like to remind our readers that Bodrov was an inveterate enemy of Islam and the Caucasus. In his movie "Brother-2" ("Brat-2") the criminal was inducing the anti-Caucasus hysteria, as well as hatred towards Ukrainians and Americans. Dmitriy Orlov

Human Rights Watch addresses EU to press Moscow to end impunity for abuses in Chechnya

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:13:31 GMT

"The European Union should use its summit with Russia to press Moscow to end impunity for abuses in Chechnya and cease harassment of civil society in Russia." These demands are contained in the statement issued by Human Rights Watch June 25. In 34 rulings to date, the European Court has repeatedly found Russia responsible for abuses in Chechnya, including torture, �disappearances,' and extrajudicial executions. Russia has generally paid out compensation to victims. But it has refused to carry out meaningful investigations or to implement measures to address the underlying causes of abuse, which the court has obliged Russia to do. �The EU has the chance to reset the tenor of its relationship with Russia,' said Allison Gill, Russia office director for Human Rights Watch. �It's time to say that because Russia is a key partner, because the EU is Russia's friend, human rights concerns are critical to the relationship.' �The EU shouldn't limit discussion of human rights to lower-level consultations because that sends the signal that human rights are a secondary concern,' said Gill. �As a strong partner to the EU, Russia is capable of hearing and responding to human rights concerns and should be treated as such.' By the time of the Russia-EU summit last year Human Rights Watch had made a similar statement. HRW was asking the European Union to put pressure on Russia in the area of human rights. Moreover, just like this year, the human rights watchdog demanded that the crimes in Chechnya and Ingushetia are ended. Russia, however, did not react to any of these demands, and the EU did not take any more or less serious steps to put pressure on Moscow. This year's Russia-EU summit is held in Khanty Mansiisk. The negotiations on the new agreement have started, which is supposed to lay the groundwork for the Russian-EU relations for the near future. A possibility of visa-free travels was once again discussed at the summit as well. The watchdog report also says that "fighting between Muslim insurgents and Russian troops threatens to engulf a neighboring region", Ingushetia. Human Rights Watch points out in its report that Moscow has brought additional troops to Ingushetia, but it did not change the situation. The situation got more aggravated since the troops "fail to discriminate between legitimate insurgent targets and civilians when conducting operations". Kavkaz Center

West hopes that Medvedev will not be Putin's puppet

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:11:31 GMT

Summit of the European leaders in Khanty-Mansiisk may expose all of the conflicting points between Moscow and Europe. The Times writes that the signals form the Kremlin can mean that the relations with Russia, run by the new president, may improve, yet worsening of the relations can equally be anticipated. Summit has been constantly postponed mainly due to the fact that EU members would refuse to negotiate in the disputes with Russia concerning the trade and energy. Yesterday Finland opened up a new cause for an argument: in the area of timber trade. There is a whole number of disputes in Russia's relations with Britain: from the Litvinenko case to the TNK-VR scandal. On the other hand, EU is trying to reach a thaw in its relationship with Moscow and hoping that Medvedev will not be the puppet of his predecessor Putin and will assume a less aggressive position in the relationship with the West.

WAR AGAINST ISLAM. Russian authorities ban reading books about disciples of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:00:34 GMT

Some Russian officials have said that yet another famous book on Islam, which each Muslim observing precepts has, is now among the banned. It is a famous historical work by Abdurrahman Raafat al-Bashi "Pictures From Lives of Disciples of Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)". Russian authorities issued the number 151 to this book in the list of the so-called "extremist literature". Al-Bashi's book was published in Moscow in 2001. Kavkaz Center

''Russians are cheating in football too�''

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:43:54 GMT

Bloggers of RuNet are telling about the Russian riff-raff, who early morning of June 22 celebrated some "victory" in football/soccer after Russian FSB (Federal Security Service, former KGB) bribed the foreign team. All of that reminds of gladiator circuses on the eve of the fall of the Roman Empire. These are the testimonies by Russians: Moscow: "Oh, what a horror, we got attacked! Is it the Third World War or something?! Whistles are heard, I can hear somebody banging his head against the wall. No no, it's..... RUSSIA, RUSSIAAAAA. I hate RUSSSSSIAAAA. I don't share everybody's "merrymaking" and I don't view the bunch of drunk riffraff as humans, --- a gathering of patriots. Bunches of them gather together, drink and scream without even realizing what Russia is." Novgorod: "You could hear tramping and wild screams in the hallway: "Russia!!! Russia!!!" mixed with hooting and whistling: a good sign of another soccer stuff... Did they really take Holland down? Horrible, Gazprom must have gone bankrupt, so they're trying to make up with exorbitant gas prices." Moscow: "No, I don't like football (I don't like sports at all). But now I really hate it. What kind of idiocy is it to scream all night long "Russia!" and drive when being hammered?! They have no children who can't sleep from this whole goblinism....rrrrRRRR..... with this kind of fans nobody is a champion... a whole bunch of drunken retards." Altai: "Wild howls on the streets at night, smashed bottles, cars loudly blowing their horns, firecrackers... Proper interpretation has already been dumped into the Internet by the "authorities": like, football victories is the implementation of "Putin's plan", and Russia owes Putin for all of its victories! Here again they speculatively made politics out of a sports game. Only those who suffer from inferiority complex are capable of such an inadequate reaction to a victory in a sports game. So, just like little kids they are showing their boisterous elation about any successes in games with "foreigners". And everything else is nothing: skyrocketing prices, educational system being ruined, the population rate dropping, the elections getting rigged. But we still won the football victory over the Dutch!" Moscow: "I hate this damn football, this Russia. To hell with it!!! I live right on Leningrad Street and for unknown reasons they are screaming right near my house. What's going on with Russia over there? They probably won once in a billion years. I hate it! Filthy scumbags, degenerates!" Nienschantz: " I can hear them scream behind the window and behind the wall "Russia the Champion". After that wild crowd there is dirt, garbage, shattered glass, cigarette butts, puddles of urine and beer... and God forbid someone looking not like "one of their own" run into a horde of either upset or very happy fans on the street. There is nothing to be glad about anymore. Seems like it's the beginning of the end of the world." The Europeans, who use common sense, have no illusions about what Russians are. We will quote some comments from the mass European forum published in German language on Yahoo-Germany (translated): -- Everything was bought. I too can win the way these baby faces violate the rules anytime they want, and the referee would not whistle because he was bribed! I would like to warn you. If Germans get into the finals with Russians, millionaire Abramovich will buy everybody including the referees, as we have seen in this match. At least from now on I'm boycotting all games where these characters with faces of Polynesian aborigines (kanakas) will be playing. I hope that Italy/Spain will kick these "outhouse fecalists" (Mistarschl��cher) out. -- Glory to Abramovih. I wonder how much he paid that old clown, the referee! The referee probably needs money, but I really feel sorry for the Russian team. You Russians are just little kids. No mastery whatsoever, except for the skill to bribe everybody. We don't need this kind of team at the championship. -- Russians are cheating even in football. At the same time half of their country is in Asia. Out of the European Championship, you scumbags! -- Congratulations to those who bribed everybody. I can't be watching these Russians anymore. Whatever will be happening from this moment on, Abramovich will buy for his Russian "baby faces" anyway. It was a slap in the face for Europe, and I hope that starting tomorrow, Europe will make its conclusions. -- I am a sports journalist. To me Germans were not among favorites. But what happened now in the quarterfinal violates all of the rules. I know many influential people. And if we succeed in proving that Russia bribed the referee, Russia will be in a bad situation. I think it's dishonest when such good teams as Portugal, Spain, Italy and Netherlands encounter that shit with no chances for victory, because the "baby faces" bribed everybody. Ukrainians are mocking at the Ruskies who bought the "victories" for the petrodollars stolen from the people of Siberia: "Does money win a victory over anything? The evening ended with disappointment: the Muscovites beat Holland. Now they probably will be talking about it for the next 20 years. There is an opinion that everything was bought: 1. World hockey championship 2. UEFA cup was won by Zenith 3. Eurovision 4. Did they sell Euro Championship to Russians too? 5. And then what? Are they going to buy the entire Olympic gold from the Chinese at wholesale prices?" "Russians had a disgusting game. At least that's what I saw." Dmitriy Orlov Kavkaz Center

Russian war criminal threatens the US with war in the Artic

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:06:05 GMT

On photo: Scandalous photo of US President Bush with Russian war criminal Shamanov. After the publication of this photo the White House came up with an excuse of not being aware of accusations against that criminal. Gang leader of the Russian Defense Ministry's combat training directorate, Vladimir Shamanov, told the Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper, "Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has decided to start making specific plans for the military training exercises in the Arctic in response to the statements by several foreign leaders who disputed Russia's claims on the Arctic continental shelf." "Modern wars are won or lost long before they start," stated the war criminal, who is wanted by the authorities of the Caucasus Emirate for sadism and mass murders of peaceful civilians. The gang leader mentioned, "The Americans, for example, recently conducted the Northern Edge 12-day large-scale exercise in Alaska, involving about 5,000 personnel, 120 aircraft and several warships." "Combat training directorate certainly will not ignore such facts when planning the training of the troops," Shamanov promised. Back in early May the war criminal strongly criticized the US military exercise in Alaska. He stated that these exercises are allegedly "going against the whole number of international agreements on peaceful scientific work in the regions of North and South poles." "Such maneuvers will lead to nothing good but aggravation of tensions and anxieties, even though the US Armed Forces personnel will probably acquire some skills of operating in Northern latitudes," Shamanov announced. He also told journalists that "military units in the Leningrad, Siberian and Far Eastern military districts are being trained for operations in Northern and Arctic regions." Moscow has dispatched two Russian outdated airplanes TU-95 to "patrol" the remote areas of the Arctic. The objective of the flight was quoted as "acquisition of skills in flying in Northern latitudes by the pilots". We would also like to remind our readers that the dispute over who controls what in the Arctic has become more heated with growing evidence that global warming is shrinking polar ice, opening up new shipping lanes and resource development possibilities. A US study suggests the area may contain as much as 25 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas. Kavkaz Center

Russian government to allocate $ 5 billion for Chechnya through private companies

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:17:44 GMT

Former ringleader of the Kremlin, Putin, who used to be in charge of the Russian government, announced that the government of the Russian Federation will allocate 5 billion dollars to occupied Chechnya "for the restoration". The funds are supposed to be appropriated within 3 years. At the same time, according to the statement of the Russian gang leader, the funds will be distributed through private companies in order to avoid "corruption and ineffective expenses".

Prosecutor's Office confirms, ''There is no god but Allah''

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 09:28:38 GMT

Russian media reported that Prosecutor's Office of the Krasnoyarsk Province in Siberia has conducted an examination and did not discover any violations of the law of the Russian Federation in placing the verse from the Koran "There is no god but Allah" on the wall of the Krasnoyarsk mosque. Official from the Prosecutor's Office said, "Examination of legality of placing this particular quote has been completed. The Prosecutor's Office has not discovered any illegitimate actions that would violate the acting legislation by displaying a quote from the Koran." The sign with the words "There is no god but Allah" was placed on the wall of the mosque in early June and was taken off on the demand from the Prosecutor's Office. The demand was motivated by the fact that it allegedly was displeasing to the local residents. Thus, the local Prosecutor's Office has not discovered any violations of the Russian constitution in the statement "There is no god but Allah". In this connection, the same Prosecutor's Office may apparently discover a violation of Russia's constitution in other verses of the Koran, such as the order of Allah to fight against the infidels until the temptation in religion disappears. Or in the order of the Most High that anybody who judge not by the laws of Allah are transgressors and criminals. And this would be a direct call to "extremist activities", which is punishable by the laws of the Russian Federation. So, the Russian Prosecutor's Office has all "legal" grounds to accuse God of "extremist calls" in other "articles" of the Koran. Kavkaz Center

West declares Russia as 'the leading antidemocratic force'

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:57:28 GMT

A publication of Freedom House human rights organization says that Russia has become 'the leading antidemocratic force' in the region. "Over time, we have seen rising oil prices correlate clearly with sharply falling democracy performance, especially in Russia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan," the group's director of studies, Christopher Walker, said in an interview. The report says that these three former Soviet republics are basing their development on energy resources, and the last decade was marked by "sharp and systematic erosion of accountability and transparency". In Russia, by last year, it became clear that Vladimir Putin's era had ushered in a new elite that grabbed power, Freedom House said. Experimenting in "authoritarian capitalism," an "Iron Triangle" of state power, industry chiefs and security services is leading a decline in the electoral process and increased control over political opponents and news media, the report�said. Human rights activists believe that "the growing authoritarianism is also shaping foreign policy, producing "a more assertive and often belligerent posture by Russia toward its neighbors." Earlier the same American human rights organization monitoring levels of freedom all around the world announced that the worst situation with human rights is in Tibet, which is now under control of China, and in Chechnya, which is now under the invasion by Moscow. At the same time the report by the Freedom House stressed that the situation in Chechnya is the "worst of the worst". Freedom House also pointed out that "an indigenous Islamic population is engaged in a brutal guerrilla war for independence from Russia". Kavkaz Center

Government officials found way out: hanging portraits of both Putin and Medvedev

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:21:12 GMT

Makers of portraits have found the way for the Russians who still cannot decide whether to take Putin's portrait off the walls in their offices or not. Novy Region ("New Region") reported that combined portraits of Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev have been brought to a number of bookstores in Yekaterinburg. A photo of the heads of the state in a frame costs about 500 rubles (equals to about $ 20.8). The salespersons admit that this merchandize is sold faster than lone portraits of Medvedev or Putin. (By the way, the demand for Putin's portraits somewhat dropped after he left the presidential post). Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Kasparov believes that Putin wants to rule like Stalin and live like Abramovich

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:20:10 GMT

"Putin is more of an oligarch rather than a dictator. In other words, he wants to rule like Stalin and live like Abramovich," this is the viewpoint expressed by chess ex-world champion Kasparov in his interview to Spanish periodical El Pais. While trying to look like a democratic leader, he really ruined the Russian state, since Putin's Russia is corrupted from beginning to end, as Kasparov believes. He summarized that it reminds of the feudal power. In Kasparov's opinion, today's Russian president Dmitry Medvedev is only an outward appearance of a liberal leader. He greatly resembles the head of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

FOOTBALL. Night of 'victory'

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 08:28:40 GMT

Even animals can be tamed. Bears, for example, can dance and even walk on their hind legs on the trainer's command, and wild boars can run around the circus arena with their harnesses on. In football such a trainer of Russian soccer players turned out to be Guus Hiddink, a Dutch football manager who trained them to play against his own country for the glory of Putin-Medvedev (or Medvedev-Putin, whichever way you switch places, the sum total of the filth would stay the same). Brutes remain brutes. Right after the victory the "Russian soul" splashed out all across the cities and villages of the degenerated country. The "victory night" coincided with school proms. All across the country, literally outside a ten-meter radius from any street lights, which are rare anyway, packs of grownup beasts, pumped up with all kinds of alcohol and drugs, were hunting for ones of their kind. Along with the bursts of firecrackers, they were ripping their own shirts with their mouths distorted and at the top of their lungs belching out the name of their country, which has become a symbol of their satanic faith in chimera of revival of their owners, their slaveholders. They were bullying and attacking pedestrians by wild crowds. It is virtually impossible to calculate how many millions of assaults, robberies, pillages, thefts, beatings, rapes and murders were committed by the morning. They were beating and screaming "Russia!", drinking and screaming again... The barbarians genuinely believe that this is the way they are exalting themselves in their savagely and voluntary identity of slaves. And the authorities are assenting to the crowd and thus getting another permission to keep defecating all around the world. Ruslan Alibutayev
