From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/30/2005 2:18 PM April, 24, 2005 62 % of Russians consider the future disintegration of their country to be real The majority of Russians - 62 % - believe, that there are acute problems and contradictions in their society, which can lead to the future disintegration of their country and only 27 % believe, that there are not such problems. The all-Russia interrogation of the Fund "Public opinion”, carried out on the 16 th of April, among 1500 respondents, testifies it, Newsru informs. During the interrogation it was found out, that respondents considered the social inequality, regional distinctions in the standard of living of the population and a low standard of life as a whole, unemployment, interethnic discord to be the main things among explosive problems. Imperious ambitions of regional heads ("any princeling wants to become a tsar), corruption of officials and politicians, weakness of the federal authority, the war in the Chechen Republic , terrorism, and criminality are a little bit less often ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/1/2005 1:25 PM 1.04.2005 Russia’s next revolution Russian analysts this week argued a Ukrainian or Kyrgyz-style revolution in their country will begin in one or more of the country’s far-flung regions and then spread to Moscow rather than the other, and historically more typical, way around. Most Russian commentators continue to downplay the possibility of an Orange-style revolution in Moscow (see, for example, the sampling of opinions in Nezavisimaya Gazeta March 28). Muscovites are significantly better off than people elsewhere. And the Kremlin is more attentive to the city and has the resources at hand to deploy against any threat. But the recent challenges to the authorities in Bashkortostan and Ingushetiya has sparked concerns it may be «easy» to organize a revolution in the Russian Federation «not along Ukrainian lines but rather according to the Kyrgyz model and not in Moscow but in the regions," according to Ivan Yartsev this week (politkom.ru). The protests in the Bashkir capital, Ufa, last week attracted particular attention because ... >> full

Russian Politics, Playing With Fuhrer

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/1/2005 5:18 PM Aprel, 2, 2005 Russian Politics, Playing With Fuhrer Sergei Mironov, speaker of the Russian upper house, was talking recently about the "real threat of a fascist putsch in Russia " -- "a new fuhrer with fascist-type, nationalist ideology" emerging in the 2008 presidential campaign. But while it would seem that so grave a danger calls for urgent and resolute action, Mironov sounded vague and nerveless about what should be done. Perhaps, he mused, the looming threat would simply impel the Russian people to ask President Vladimir Putin "to stay, not to leave" in 2008, when his constitutional term expires. The idea that the Kremlin might use the risk of a nationalist takeover as a justification for scrapping the election and extending Putin's tenure is but one of several 2008 scenarios thought to be circulating in that body. It's telling that the one scenario missing from the political rumor mill and analysts' forecasts is a democratic transfer of presidential authority, something that ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/8/2005 9:44 AM 7.04.2005 Two Very Different Leaders Shape Recent Chechen History For the past 10 years, Chechnya has been the scene of violence as Russian troops try to defeat separatist rebels. Earlier this month Russian security forces killed one of the separatist leaders, Aslan Maskhadov. VOA Senior Correspondent Andre de Nesnera looks at the two separatist leaders who have shaped recent Chechen history. Chechnya, located in the north Caucasus region, has been a thorn in Russia’s side for centuries. First czars and then Soviet leaders fought independence movements, and while Chechnya remains part of Russia, separatists are to this day engaged in a war with Russian troops. The current Chechen separatist movement has been led by two military men with differing approaches to Russia. One was Aslan Maskhadov, who was considered by many experts to be a more moderate figure, willing to negotiate with Russian authorities. The other is Shamil Basayev, a far more radical leader who has not shied away from terrorist ... >> full
