From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/4/2006 11:13 AM 04-Oct-06 Kadyrov Stakes Leadership Claim A confident Ramzan Kadyrov turns 30, and looks to the Chechen presidency. By Timur Aliev in Grozny (CRS No. 360 04-Oct-06) A three-metre column towers above the main highway through western Chechnya, covered with a huge poster with three figures depicted on it: Chechen prime minister Ramzan Kadyrov, Russian president Vladimir Putin and the late pro-Moscow Chechen president – and father of Ramzan - Akhmad Kadyrov. The poster is visible from a great distance and passing drivers have been heard to call it “The Holy Trinity”. This is not the only monument of its kind – similar ones can be seen on the approach to the towns of Argun, Gudermes, Urus-Martan and Grozny. Posters, calendars and even paintings of the younger Kadyrov are on walls in offices all over Chechnya.

From: MSN Nicknamepsychoteddybear24 (Original Message) Sent: 10/7/2006 12:07 PM Chechen war reporter found dead Anna Politkovskaya, a prominent Russian journalist known as a fierce critic of the Kremlin's actions in Chechnya, has been found dead in Moscow. The 48-year-old mother of two was found shot dead in a lift at her apartment block in the capital. A pistol and four bullets were found near her body and a murder investigation has been launched. Ms Politkovskaya's murder has all the hallmarks of a contract killing, says the BBC's Emma Simpson in Moscow. The award-winning journalist became ill with food poisoning on her way to report on the Beslan school siege in 2004, which some believed to be an attempt on her life. Ms Politkovskaya, who worked for the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, was known for exposing rights abuses by Russian troops in Chechnya. She also acted as a negotiator with the Chechen rebels who held a siege in a Moscow ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/10/2006 1:39 PM September, 25, 2006 Independence Day Address by President Umarov It is fifteen years now since the Chechen nation declared its independence, resulting from the collapse of the Russian empire. All the existant legal procedures to restore our statehood were fully observed: the referendum's results, Declaration of Independence, election of the first president, Khasavyurt Agreements and the full-scale Peace Treaty with Russia in May 1997, and then another legitimate election of President Maskhadov. The latter was held under international observation and was recognised, inter alia, by the Russian government. After some time, however, the KGB and Mafia leaders of Russia, separated from their people and hiding behind the Kremlin walls, supported by war criminals - the generals beaten in the previous war, - organised a number of provocations (apartment explosions in Russian cities) and renewed a military offensive against the ChRI. So in the Autumn 1999 ... >> full
