TRANSITIONS ONLINE: Frozen Conflicts: Putting Salt on the Ice by TOL 10 October 2005 Now that the era of grand hopes for the West’s relationship with Russia is over, it is time to turn attention on Russia’s role in Kosovo and frozen post-Soviet conflicts. For all the grandiloquent phrases of Britain’s Tony Blair and the grand but wooden words of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, there was an inescapable sense of hollowness about the Russia-EU summit on 4 October. That hollowness is understandable, because at the heart of Russia’s relationship with the West there may now be a real void. Many of the key issues of recent years have been put to the test and answers found – about Putin’s commitment to democracy, Russia’s position in the war on terror, the limits of his relationship with the West, his foreign-policy orientation, and the Kremlin’s relationship with Big Business. If there is a hidden ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/17/2005 6:07 PM AIDS problem worsening in Chechnya October 17th 2005 · Prague Watchdog / Lecha Sadayev By Lecha Sadayev CHECHNYA - AIDS has recently been spreading in Chechnya and according to Hedy Aydamirova, head doctor in the republic’s Anti-AIDS Center, there are now nearly 600 infected cases. This figure includes women and 32 children, and their number increases each year. Back in 2003, eleven women had contracted AIDS, but since then this figure has increased seven-fold. According to Aydamirova, only 15% of the population has been tested for AIDS so it is highly possible that the actual figure could be much higher. She added that the AIDS problem would become even worse because blood testing was soon to be halted and thereafter the Center’s doctors would no longer be able to test patients’ blood for AIDS. No funds are available to obtain the required testing materials. According to a source in ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/17/2005 6:10 PM Chechnya not ready for heating season October 17th 2005 · Prague Watchdog / Lecha Sadayev By Lecha Sadayev CHECHNYA – The heating season in Chechnya began on October 15. However, the preparation for it by the State domestic utility companies (DUC) in the cities of Grozny, Argun and Gudermes leaves much to be desired. According to Chechen DUC Minister Abu Sugaipov, most of the republic’s domestic utility system has been destroyed in the course of military actions, and its complete restoration would require 50 billion roubles, while cash resources to a limit of only 1 billion roubles are allocated yearly from the federal budget. According to the minister, out of 76 boiler rooms in Chechnya, only 46 are ready for operation. The problem of heat supply is also aggravated by the fact that none of the mountainous districts and only some of the villages in the foothill regions ... >> full
