But just who are this nuclear power’s real enemies? A year and a half ago, in a document titled the “Ivanov doctrine”, Russia proclaimed the right to preemptive strikes against CIS countries. In light of the events in the last months in the former Soviet states, why didn’t you strike? I want to remind you that preemptive strikes do not mean military action or attacks on this or that country, in our understanding.

After my arrival to Europe being a permanent reader of Chechen sites, I did not think, that sometime I would write about what disturbed me and surprised.

After one of his critiques against the President of the ChRI J. Dudaev he was dismissed, and then I heard nothing about him.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 6/25/2005 8:26 PM Conspiracy Theory Of The Week Hepatitis Outbreak Linked to Drunken Brawl in Moscow Hotel Room With no one claiming responsibility for the massive hepatitis outbreak in the Tver region and the only viable suspect-a pivo plant-shut down well before locals starting turning yellow, Russian conspiracy mongers outdid themselves last week as they linked the epidemic to a biological weapons expert killed in his Moscow hotel room with a champagne bottle. Some 570 people are reported sick, although no one's dead yet, so it seems Russia's doing better than the U.S. anthrax epidemic in the fall of 2001. Still, investigators are not excluding the possibility that the hepatitis A outbreak was a biological attack. Some papers, like Moskovsky Komsomolets, alleged, in so many words, that the scientist Nikolai Strachunsky, found dead last week in his hotel room with his laptop missing and a broken champagne bottle on the floor, was killed precisely because he uncovered the Tver-hep-A bioterror plan and, by gum, ... >> full
