It is necessary to prove crash of America the nearest two months - there are no problems, the party will order - the inhabitant will believe. Tightrope-walking with the past - a separate theme. On an example of changes in the description of a history for last decade, it is possible to be convinced of validity of the statement that at Russia the past is unpredictable.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 3/18/2006 12:27 AM President Putin Eyes a Constitutional Role By Sergei Shilov The Moscow News Putin after 2008: a liberal emperor - chairman of the Constitutional Court Russian: Место в строю. Путин после 2008-го It is difficult to think of a more effective way of nurturing an independent judiciary and a real rule-of-law state than the installation of Vladimir Putin as chairman of the Russian Constitutional Court after 2008. This scenario is not in conflict with the president's remarks at a recent news conference (January 31, 2006) concerning his career when his presidential term expires and he steps down in keeping with the Constitution. As for the idea that Putin might head up a state-controlled monopoly, the president said in no uncertain terms: "Neither in character nor track record do I feel like a businessman."

Anti-establishment journalist and human-rights activist Anna Politkovskaya disagrees strenuously with this point of view. In her new book, she trains her steely gaze on, as she puts at, Putin 'without the rapture'. From her privileged vantage-point at the heart of Russian current affairs, Politkovskaya reports from behind the scenes, dismantling both Putin the man and Putin the brand name, arguing that he is a power-hungry product of his own history in the security forces and so unable to prevent himself from stifling dissent and other civil liberties ... >> full

Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs resigns
The Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Laila Freivalds, announced
resignation from office on Tuesday. The background for her decision is
a political scandal regarding shutting down a web site belonging to a
right-wing political party.
The Swedish right-wing party Sverigedemokraterna (Swedish Democrats)
published the notorious Danish cartoons of Prophet Muhammed (saws) on
their web site in February. Hereby the Swedish MFA and the security
police SДPO contacted the service provider Levonline, in order to force
a shut down of the site. The pressure from officials made Levonline
follow these official instructions.
When this incident became public, it caused a political turmoil in
Sweden, as the government has no right to interfere in mass media.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental constitutional right in Sweden. Only
a court has the authority to decide about restrictions, and only based
upon a few obvious criterions such as racism, pedophilia and similar
phenomens.
