April, 14, 2005 "Carry Our Fighting Through" Today, in the birthday of the First President of free Ichkeria Dzhohar Dudaev, the phrase repeatedly said by him comes to mind, "I dream to live at the time, when I will be an ordinary Chechen". Haters of Dzhohar from among toadies, serving to Russians, spitefully hissed: he will never say goodbye to his presidency, even when the Chechen Republic becomes a conventional independent state. Certainly, Russian lackeys took these words in the spirit, reflecting their own world outlook poverty, stuck to the authority thrown to them by the Kremlin owner like a bone to dogs, and being Judas silver coins - the payment for treachery. How could these greedy worms, crawling about in the covered with wounds body of the Fatherland, comprehend, what Dzhohar wished to say with it. And Dzhohar wished to say, that he was the most ordinary Chechen, and not he should ... >> full

Chechen extremism: real threat or an artificial problem? Timur Aliyev GROZNY, Chechnya - The dominant image of extremism in Chechnya is imposed externally rather than actually existing within the Republic. This was the idea presented during a meeting of public figures and Chechen students on April 15 in Grozny. Discussions centered on two viewpoints: first, because extremism has already taken root in Chechnya it is necessary to eradicate it; and secondly, that this is a problem being artificially imposed upon the country. According to political scientist Edilbek Khasmagomadov, "A huge part of Chechen society feels deprived, and this part of society is a breeding ground for extremism." "The problem of Chechen extremism is artificial and imposed on the Republic by the Kremlin in order to divert attention from the main problems in Russia. So while extremism is being fought in Chechnya the Russian people, meanwhile, live in poverty and grow poorer without any social reforms ... >> full

Apr 26 2005 5:27PM Duma deputy surprised by PACE member's remark on Zakayev STRASBOURG. April 26 (Interfax) - The head of the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and the chairman of the Russian State Duma international affairs committee, Konstantin Kosachyov, said he was astounded by a statement by PACE member Andreas Gross that Chechen separatist emissary Akhmed Zakayev might take part in a roundtable discussion on Chechnya, which should be convened by the end of 2005. "Zakayev is a person wanted by Russia on suspicion of involvement in terrorist attacks, and our country has raised the issue of his extradition. If Zakayev proves that he is not involved in terrorist attacks and confirms that he is willing to take part in the settlement process in the Chechen Republic following the Russian law and the Chechen constitution, he would certainly be able to participate in the discussion ... >> full

Chechnya’s Mobile Scramble 27-APR-2005 SIM cards are changing hands on the black market as demand for mobile phones outstrips supply in the war-torn republic. By Kazbek Vakhayev in Grozny (CRS No. 284, 27-Apr-05) Twenty-year-old university student Marina Suleimanova came out of the office of the Megafon telephone company in Grozny with a joyful smile on her face. She had queued outside the office for three days before paying 16 US dollars for the precious right to own a mobile phone. “Here’s the SIM card,” she said proudly, before rummaging in her handbag for a mobile phone to insert it into. Happily punching numbers into the handset, Marina became one of 70,000 owners of a sparse commodity in a republic virtually bereft of all normal communications. The rush for mobile phones in Chechnya is unstoppable as the republic’s citizens are desperate for a convenient, practical means of communication. The need for some sort of telephone connection is immense. Landlines ... >> full
