"The Chechen trace" in the case of Hlebnikov's murder

 

The difficult situation with the murder of the journalist Paul Hlebnikov, at last, has got clear and simple outlines. According to the version of the Russian Office of the Public Prosecutor, a Chechen, Hoj-Ahmed Nuhaev, having taken offence on Hlebnikov for his book, employed two Chechens to kill him.

The information, which preceded the disclosing of this well-known crime and suddenly disappeared from the "resume" to the information of the Office of the Public Prosecutor for mass-media, is interesting.

In the beginning there was the corpse of Hlebnikov, killed in a street of Moscow . The “Chechen” version was the most attractive for the Russian party, as it at once solved several problems.

Disclosure of this crime, accusing Chechens of the murder of the American citizen in Moscow , is one more coin in Putin's coin box, trying to inspire the world that he struggles against international terrorism in the ...

Quick March!

As we have written earlier, at the obviously forge court in Beslan, hard time has come for the prosecution. After the accused, Nurpashi Kulaev, had refused to plead guilty absolutely unexpectedly, the bearing of representatives of the prosecution noticeably changed.

Before that everything was going on “sedately and nobly", and the process proceeded according to the script. Everything began with that the representative of the prosecution - public prosecutor Maria Semisynova loudly demanded from Kulaev to explain, what forces influenced on Kulaev so, that he dared to refuse his former evidence.

The Public prosecutor, obviously, counted on that Kulaev would tremble, (it was the question of evidences beaten out from him with application of force), having remembered the bone-breakers, who after each process waited for him in the prison to continue the conversation about life and death.

In particular, she reminded him of the materials of the case, in which there were the evidences, signed by the ...

The secret of Chechen "omnipresence" is revealed

(The comment concerning…)

"Chechens have, certainly, been in Andijan, as none of them is killed or captured"

After the noted of Adlan Beno ("Chechens as a nightmare ") there is no use to be engaged in this theme. But in his former operative comments on the information about Chechens – robbers, appearing practically in all corners of the planet, where there were though any problems, Adlan broke the inconsistency and artificiality of this information with basically two arguments. That Chechens were not Chinese (by quantity) to keep up everywhere. None of the information, independently on the source, was, supposedly, supported with "material evidence": demonstration to the public of an alive or dead Chechen.

But the bloody massacre in the Uzbek city of Andijan began on the 13 th of May, 2005 . "The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia" ...

"In exactly 1000 days, the epoch of Vladimir Putin’s administration will end", stated Defense’s coordinator, Ilya Yashin in Moscow. "We declare that Defense will protect the Constitution and will try to prevent changes in the laws of the country that would allow Putin to run for a third term as president".

A Still Small Voice

It takes a simple cleaning woman from the corridors of power to bear witness to the madness and melancholy of Stalin's rule in Gillian Slovo's new novel.

By Jerome Charyn
Published: June 24, 2005

In "Ice Road," Gillian Slovo's tenth novel, we meet a very odd angel -- Irina Davydovna Arbatova, a cleaning woman at the Smolny Institute, Leningrad's Communist Party headquarters. "I'm no storyteller," she tells us. "I look only to the facts." But Irina's the one who carries the music of the novel; her voice presides over the mysterious and brutal events in this city of resistance and revolution, where Lenin sculpts the first six months of Soviet Russia from a small office at the Smolny, and where the blokadniki, those proud, starving Leningraders (including Irina), defy the German war machine for nearly 900 days during World War II.

Born in 1900, she's a child of the 20th century. "I'm not a joiner," Irina says. "What ...
