Back (stabbed) in the USSR
By Joe Mariani
March 27, 2006

Sooner or later, we're going to have to admit that Russia isn't half the ally they pretend to be, or should have been. For a while after the fall of the USSR, it seemed that the long fight was over, but it's beginning to look as though that was just wishful thinking. Oh, the happy-go-lucky nineties, when we thought we had no enemies.

Russia has been moving backwards from democracy towards a more totalitarian government (web site) for years, a process that has accelerated under former KGB officer Vladimir Putin. (web site) Russia has tightened its grip on the former provinces of the USSR, reduced and nearly eliminated opposition parties and local elections, (web site) fought and lost a war to reconquer Chechnya, (web site) interfered with democratic elections in the Ukraine (web site) and spent aid money given for economic reconstruction on the military instead. Between 1992 and 1999, ...

ILL, GREAT, UNLUCKY

ILL, GREAT, UNLUCKY
By Ilya Milstein
Today’s Russia is living inside Yeltsin’s hallucination
 
Early in January, he appeared, unexpected to everybody, in Astana at the inauguration of President Nazarbayev. As he put it, he had been missing Nursultan Abishevich and “dreamed of talking my full with my old comrade-in-arms and friend.” It is not known if they succeeded in this but some newspeople remarked that Yeltsin could have explained to his old Kazakh friend the best way to abandon the presidency. However, it would have been tactless to tell such a story on the day Nazarbayev was celebrating one more inauguration.   

Yeltsin is almost never seen on TV these days. He rarely makes statements. Causes are known: age, illness, and pride. To leave is to leave. There is nothing to talk about.

So those infrequent public statements are all the more memorable.

For example, in September 2004, after Beslan, when his successor made use of the overall shock to secure a grip ...

    West Must Rectify Its Own Policies: Mowahid


    Washington, DC: Western policies, coupled with the contributory factor of ineptness of Muslim governing elites to counter-balance the same, is causing rising global tensions. This was stated by Mowahid Hussain Shah, Minister and Special Advisor to Chief Minister, Punjab, and Pakistan Link columnist during a live half-an-hour TV interview with Arab-American leader, Dr. James Zogby, in Washington, on the widely watched and award-winning “Viewpoint” program which reaches a global audience of over 30 million households with callers telephoning in from all over the world.
    Mowahid said that the occupation of Muslim lands in Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir, and Chechnya have destabilized the world order and unleashed anti-Muslim xenophobia. Mowahid said that it is odd that despite all the rhetoric on democracy, the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world remain voiceless and un-represented, without having a veto power in the UN Security Council.

Speculations About Germany’s Dependence on Russian Gas Harm German Economy — Paper

07.04.2006

MosNews

German businessmen and politicians have warned that criticism of Moscow and alarmist theories about Germany’s dependence on Russian gas were harming Germany’s economic interests, the Financial Times reported.

As Russia’s role as both energy supplier and export market expands, Chancellor Angela Merkel is coming under pressure to bury her misgivings about President Vladimir Putin’s regime and adopt a friendlier tone.

“It is not in Germany’s interest to rock this particular relationship,” a government official said, alluding to this week’s uproar over ex-chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s move to joinGazprom, the Russian monopoly gas supplier.

Ulrich Wilhelm, Merkel’s spokesman, would not be drawn on whether she and Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, had discussed the Schroeder controversy at a meeting in Berlin on April 6. But he said the episode had “not burdened a relationship that is flourishing and that ...

Analysis: Is The Kremlin Looking To Dissolve Ethnic Republics?
By Victor Yasmann

The administrative shape of Russia might be in for an overhaul
(RFE/RL)
The 16 April referendum on merging southeastern Siberia's Irkutsk Oblast with Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug offered the Kremlin a green light to reshape part of the federation, as voters cast their ballots in favor of the proposed reunification. Russian President Vladimir Putin had personally endorsed the merger during an April 5 meeting with the governors of the two regions. It was the fourth referendum in three years on merging an "ethnic" administrative region with a predominantly Slavic administrative body.

The integration process of ethnic-based regions into larger administrative territories and regions began in 2004, when residents of Perm Oblast and Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug voted in favor of merging their provinces into Perm Krai. This unification came into force on December 1, 2005.
 
The same year, the population of Krasnoyarsk Krai and the much smaller ...
