Ichkeria's funeral (weekly review)
By Vadim Borshchev, special to Prague Watchdog
Ramzan Kadyrov has managed to restore to life the tradition of public repentance, a genre which after the collapse of the totalitarian Soviet system seemed to have receded into the past forever. The second programme in the “Fulcrum” series, in which Ramzan Kadyrov appears in the role of presenter, was aired on Grozny television last Friday. As in the previous programme broadcast two months ago, the main participants were former members of Aslan Maskhadov’s government, deputies of the Ichkerian parliament and religious figures of Maskhadov era. This time the challenge of their task was more wide-ranging. Those who took part in the four-hour tele-marathon did not only have to denounce their own pasts and portray the mediocrity of the Ichkerian leaders in colourful terms – Kadyrov decided to draw a line under the Chechen ...

According to reports by a number of media and other sources several dozen Chechen citizens have been arrested by the immigration authorities of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

The Government of the CRI expresses its deepest condolences to Andrei Nekrasov because of the untimely death of his wife, Olga Konskaya. Olga’s devoted and selfless work for the sake of spreading the truth about the genocide in Chechnya, perpetrated by the Kremlin leadership, deserves the highest moral recognition, respect and gratitude of the whole of the Chechen people. Olga has unflinchingly and consistently came out in favour of independent statehood of the Chechen republic, in the marked contrast to many members of Russian human rights and “democratic” community who toe the Kremlin’s line in the matter of the violation of the basic rights of an entire nation.
Olga has done a lot for the cause of preservation of the language and culture of the Chechens forced into exile by war and the state sponsored terror. It was to the refugees’ ...
