From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 5/28/2005 4:13 AM 25.05.2005 Kadyrov’s experience Commenting on the recent action of Alkhanov’s government of Chechnya trying to return Chechen refugees from Georgia, Dmitry Oreshkin, the head of the Merkator group, sounded quite positive about the idea. Although he called it unpromising for the following reason: “Kadyrov’s Chechnya – isn’t a safe place to live. There is no constitutional order in Chechnya, people are being abducted and killed there at night, death squads exist there”… After that Oreshkin makes a shocking, illogical for a normal person conclusion: “I believe that this step will have the efficiency of a steam-engine, no more than 12%. That means if at least every tenth returns – that will be a success.” A success when every refugee returned from Georgia by persuasion will have to live on the territory of a crying arbitrariness? It seems, that is the case… From the other hand, there is a rational grain in Oreshkin’s comment, on the basis of which we can ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 4/30/2005 2:22 PM Morning "canards" It is a common knowledge, that the site “Utro.ru” is used as a sink for information of the sewage of the FSB and other Russian special services. But sometimes, reading their muck, you become surprised with primitiveness of the special scribblers. Thus it becomes absolutely unclear: for whom do those, who are very difficult to be named journalists, write. However, everything becomes obvious, when Ilya Shabalkin comes out to the arena of the "Utro.ru" - the outstanding story-teller from the ideological belly of the Russian special services, who manages the amicable brigade of the "morning" pen-pushers. This is what gift the scribblers presented to their favorite commanders Putin and Patrushev on the 22 nd of April, "Federal forces managed to liquidate Suleiman Dakaev, known as the emir of villages Shelkovskaya and Chervlenaya, and also with his nickname "Jannat". According to the report of Ilya Shabalkin, Dakaev was killed in Groznyy, where he was, ostensibly, "for preparation of an ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 5/6/2005 2:21 AM 'Pacification of Chechnya' has led to Russian-Caucasus war Instead of the triumphant march of the invaders' troops across the Caucasus, which was promised by Putin's warlords, instead of decrease in military activities of the Chechen Army, which Russian troops have been expecting, and instead of surrenders and 'pacifications' that Russians have been planning, something quite opposite has been seen in Ichkeria for over five years now. What's more, the war has already crossed the borders of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria once and for all. Even pro-Kremlin media, in spite of the ban, have to report about guerilla raids, successful sabotage operations and unceasing clashes between the troops of the invaders and Chechen Armed Forces in various regions of the Caucasus virtually on a daily basis. All one has to do is point at the last major flop that the invaders suffered in Khasavyurt, Dagestan, when almost the entire group of Dagestani pro-Russian special forces reinforced with armored vehicles ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 5/6/2005 4:14 AM 6.05.2005 Caucasus Legend The exploits of the 19th-century warrior Shamil have already gained mythical status. A new encyclopedia tries to distinguish fact from fiction. A folk hero in the North Caucasus for more than 150 years, the rebel leader Imam Shamil is admired equally by anti-Russian insurgents and those seeking integration with Russia. The Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev is said to take pride in bearing his name, while President Vladimir Putin has publicly cited Shamil’s appeal for the people of the Caucasus to live in peace with Russia. The warrior who resisted Russian troops in Chechnya and Dagestan for a quarter of a century is the subject of a new book written by Dagestani and Moscow-based historians, «Shamil: An Illustrated Encyclopedia." Lavishly illustrated and written in both Russian and English, the glossy volume is a highly readable mix of scrupulous academic research and anecdotal evidence. Imam Shamil led the mountain people of Dagestan and Chechnya in an armed struggle against tsarist troops ... >> full
