RFE/RL: Russia's Labor Tribulations Cast Shadow Over May Day Festivities

Russia's Labor Tribulations Cast Shadow Over May Day Festivities

by Brian Whitmore

Workers at Russia's Molot arms plant haven't seen their salaries in nearly six months. Unable to meet payroll, management has resorted to passing out food parcels to its increasingly angry and desperate employees.

At a recent demonstration, some Molot employees suggested that instead of giving them flour, sugar, pasta, and canned meat, management should instead start passing out the factory's signature product -- Kalashnikov assault rifles.

Prosecutors in the Kirov region where the Molot plant is located have opened a criminal investigation into the plant's director, Sergei Bakhmurov, for failing to pay salaries. But such steps are cold comfort for employees like Valentina Danilchenko, who has worked at the factory for more than three decades as a machine operator. 

She says she makes ends meet by growing food in a small garden plot and calls it "humiliating" and "insulting" to be denied her wages while, she says, the plant's bosses live in relative opulence

Window on Eurasia: Russian Media Play Up US Bank’s Call for Moscow Not to Publish Unemployment Data

Paul Goble

Vienna, April 30 – In an unusual but unfortunately not unprecedented development, Russian media are hyping a suggestion by analysts at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch that Moscow should not publish unemployment statistics so frequently lest it lead to “the destabilization of the social situation” in the Russian Federation.
Not only do such notions, however much they might help some investors, violate American principles on the free flow of information, they fail to recognize that such proposals reinforce Moscow’s proclivity to secrecy and generate suspicions among the Russian people that are far more likely to be destabilizing than the release of information would be.
In an article today about the Russian government’s plans to conduct “the anti-crisis Petersburg forum in a new ‘interactive format,’” “Nezavisimaya gazeta” reported that analysts at the US bank have published a new report calling the growth of unemployment in Russia “an ever more ...

RF's CEC: opposition has no grounds to challenge Sochi election totals

apr 29 2009, 21:00

The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of the Russian Federation (RF) asserts, as stated today to journalists by Nikolai Konkin, its secretary, that the opposition has no grounds to protest against the outcomes of the elections of Sochi Mayor.

"Based on the materials that we have at the CEC there are no bases to question the Sochi election totals," said Mr Konkin.

Meanwhile, as the "Caucasian Knot" has reported, Boris Nemtsov, co-chairman of the "Solidarity" Movement, and Yuri Dzaganiya, leader of the Sochi branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), are going to sue for cancelling the election totals.

According to the CEC secretary, during the whole election campaign, the CEC received eight applications and complaints related to organization of the election, but the CEC had no powers to consider any of them, and sent them to respective electoral commissions. 

Touching on participation in early voting of a significant amount of voters, Nikolai Konkin ...

Following the picture of personal butcher of Kadyrov and the so-called State Duma deputy, Adam Delimkhanov, the names and pictures of six more Russian nationals have been placed on Interpol's website, listed as wanted in connection with the assassination of Yamadayev, the former ringleader of "Vostok (East)" gang.

 

The international arrest warrant have been issued for Marvan brothers, Tirpal and Salman Kimayev, Zelimkhan Mazayev, Ramazan Musiyev, and also for Elimpasha Khatsuyev, who has already been detained in Russia.

Window on Eurasia: How Putin’s ‘Dictatorship of Law’ Led to a ‘Dictatorship of "Ments"’

Paul Goble

Vienna, April 29 – American judges, unlike many U.S. specialists on Russia, according to a leading legal affairs journalist in Moscow, instantly understand the meaning if not the origins or precise definition of the widely used Russian slang term “ment” as well as its implications for the possibility of the creation of a state based on law.
But unless the American specialists integrate this concept into their analyses and unless the Russians are able to overcome its consequences, Leonid Nikitinsky argues in a two-part article in “Novaya gazeta,” both will fail to recognize the importance of an independent judicial system for Russia’s and the absurdity of Vladimir Putin’s call for “a dictatorship of law.”
Nikitinsky, the secretary of the Union of Journalists and a commentator on legal affairs, provides not only an explanation of what he says is a term that is almost impossible to translate but also a discussion ...
