IA DAYMOHK, 17.01.06 The creeping destabilization of the North Caucasus indicates crash for the future of Russia itself. War for "seven presses", so is possible to name the new Russian- Chechen war. After the defeat of occupation forces in war 1994-1996, and the signing of the peace treaty between Groznyy and Moscow, actually opening for both sides way to the creation, to the peace and to the collaboration, into the region gushed out. However, in the Kremlin this was perceived painfully and they began to understand, that Russia lost the information war. Let us recall that inside Russia and abroad this war has called not otherwise as the "dirty war", in the course of which the cruelty, terror and different atrocities exceeded all possible limits with respect to innocent civilians. As a result Moscow accepted ... >> full

Rice offered the criticism during an appearance at Georgetown University even as she is attempting to enlist Russian support for strong action against Iran in the International Atomic Energy Agency. “I think it’s very important that Russia understand that certain responsibilities and certain expectations and certain obligations come with being the chair of an organization that is avowedly of industrialized democracies,” she said in response to a question. Russia assumed the rotating chairmanship of the G8 on Jan. 1 and will host a summit of the group in St. Petersburg later this year. The Kremlin’s authoritarian streak has strained relations with the West and prompted some members of the U.S. Congress to call for Russia’s suspension from the ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/23/2006 2:09 PM Market Report: Centrica flares up after talk of Russian gas bid By Stephen Foley Published: 19 January 2006 Investors were contemplating the prospect of British Gas falling into Russian hands yesterday, amid suggestions that Gazprom could be considering an £11bn-plus bid for the energy supplier's parent company, Centrica. The speculation came after the Russian giant's deputy chairman said the company would consider acquisitions to take it into the business of supplying homes with gas and electricity. At the moment, Gazprom is a gas wholesaler only in the UK, with a few major industrial and power station companies. Centrica's British Gas is the nation's biggest supplier to individual homes. Gazprom is believed to have looked at Centrica in the past and more recently considered gatecrashing the abortive acquisition of ScottishPower by E.ON of Germany. ScottishPower shares were also strong yesterday on hopes that Gazprom will alight on it as a suitable entry into the retail market, ending up 4.5p at 570.5p. But it was ... >> full

As the saying goes, not to wash dirty linen in public, but we have already done during the polemic of last two weeks around of the article "Reflections of mojahed". Authors of "reflection", as it became nominal recently this expression, slowly, for themselves reflected. So it would remain in full loneliness unless official representative of Ichkerija government reacted to it. And now "authors", it is possible to say, have gained a tactical victory. Their main mission, - to cause a public resonance and to probe "pulse" of social system, - is achieved. Akhmed Zakaev as respectable Chechen, probably, pretty good moslem, but i would like to admit, he is not enough versed in the islam. With it the "reflecting outhors" decided to take an advantage, having provoked ... >> full
