August, 9, 2005 The totalitarian propagation The past weekend became a demonstrative lesson of totalitarian propagations which are able to export Russian, "under-Putin's MASS-MEDIA. In this plan the countries of the CIS, not having their own powerful mass - media, face with a problem of information terror or "oculpation" of national masses. Perhaps, today it is one of the main tools of the geopolitic control of Russia above the, yet still sovereign, colonies. Tadjikistan - is one of the few countries which up to the last time tested such information pressure on the part of the Russian MASS-MEDIA. At remember the peak of the info - terror which arose in 2002-2003 year because of the decision of the Tadjik side, to protect independent the Tadjik-Afghani border. Practically all Russian press, TV and Internet - mass-media including so-called independent, at Kremlin's suggestion of the befell upon Tadjikistan, accusing of, begining with the fact about ... >> full

Russia to ABC: Drop Dead Sunday, August 7, 2005; Page B06 <NITF>THE RUSSIAN government has pitched what can only be described as a diplomatic temper tantrum in response to an interview with a notorious Chechen warlord broadcast last month on ABC-TV's "Nightline." ABC News's Moscow bureau has been, in effect, blacklisted, and the Russian foreign ministry announced that accreditations for the network's 11-member staff there will not be renewed as they expire, meaning staffers will be officially barred from working as journalists in the country.</NITF> <NITF>The dyspeptic reaction is in keeping with the Putin government's increasing intolerance for dissent, especially where Russia's brutal, decade-long war in Chechnya is concerned.

The images of children being carried naked and covered in blood from Middle School 1 in Beslan, beamed live on the main TV networks in Russia, are traumatizing the nation. Russians had become used to terrorist attacks. They had become grimly immune to them as they entrusted their president, Vladimir Putin, with a carte blanche in his military response. But it is the nature of this particular attack - the focus on tiny babies in one of the poorest parts of the country - that makes this different. This truly is Russia's 9/11. But after the shock, after the anger and the grieving for those who have died, what then? The immediate response is despondency and despair. Putin's iron fist has got nowhere. This was ... >> full
