Exiled by Russia: Casinos and Jobs

James Hill for The New York Times

The word “casino” has already been removed from gambling halls on a busy Moscow street.


Published: June 28, 2009

MOSCOW — One of the largest mass layoffs in recent Russian history is to occur on Wednesday, and the Kremlin itself is decreeing it, economic crisis or not.


The government is shutting down every last legal casino and slot-machine parlor across the land, under an antivice plan promoted by Vladimir V. Putin that just a few months ago was widely perceived as far-fetched. But the result will be hundreds of thousands of people thrown out of work.

And in a move that at times seems to have taken on almost farcical overtones, the Kremlin has offered the gambling industry only one option for survival: relocate to four regions in remote areas of Russia, as many as 4,000 miles from the capital. The potential marketing slogans — Come to the Las Vegas of Siberia! Have a Ball near the North Korean Border! ...

The global natural gas industry is undergoing a historical shift away from overland pipeline deliveries of gas and gradually towards Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), shipped by seaborne tankers designed to supply distant markets which cannot otherwise be supplied by traditional pipelines. Russia, the world’s largest producer of gas, has stated that it is determined to become a leading player in the emerging LNG business. With the opening of the Russian LNG terminal on Sakhalin Island in 2009, Russia joined the global LNG market. The country’s leadership has stated that LNG will play a significant role in ...

Window on Eurasia: Economic Crisis Threatens to Kill Off the CIS

Paul Goble

Vienna, June 25 – The economic crisis in the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet states may finally lead to the complete collapse of the Commonwealth of Independent States because, in the absence of agreement on a common plan of action, the number of conflicts among its member states is growing, according to a leading Moscow financial analytic center.
In a 27-page study entitled “The Countries of the CIS and the World Crisis: Common Problems and Different Approaches” that was released yesterday, the FBK accounting firm said that the deepening economic crisis across the former Soviet space is creating “a moment of truth” for the Russian-led CIS (www.fbk.ru/upload/contents/561/anticrisis-CIS.pdf).
Its authors argue,, as “Nezavisimaya gazeta” journalist Sergey Kulikov put it today, that Russia’s weak economic performance especially in recent months has exacerbated centrifugal forces within the CIS because “the absence of a strong center forces its members to seek a way out on an individual ...

Attack On Ingushetia President Latest In Troubling Trend

by Liz Fuller

*Correction appended

The president of Russia's troubled North Caucasus region of Ingushetia is in critical condition after his convoy was hit by an explosion this morning near Nazran.

Yunusbek Yevkurov is the fourth official to be wounded or killed in Daghestan and Ingushetia during a bloody three-week span in an incident that bears signs of an assassination attempt by the North Caucasus resistance.

The 45-year-old career military intelligence officer, whom Russian President Dmitry Medvedev named eight months ago as president of the Republic of Ingushetia, was injured when a car bomb exploded as his cortege was driving from Nazran to Magas. 

Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the Russian Prosecutor-General's Office, told journalists in Moscow that "an explosive device equivalent to 70 kilograms of TNT went off as the [Ingush] president's motorcade passed through Nazran."

He said preliminary findings indicated the explosive was "planted in a foreign-made vehicle, where a suicide bomber might have been sitting, which was parked by the side of the road."

Yevkurov's ...

Ruslan Aushev offers himself in place of Yevkurov

Publication time: 24 June 2009, 15:13 

Former pro-Moscow president of Ingushetia, Ruslan Aushev is ready to replace the blown up last Monday Yevkurov until the ringleader of apostates in hospital.

 

"I am ready to return while Yevkurov is recovering, until he recovers, and lead the republic, if it is legally approved and to fulfill the obligations of the president until he recovers," he told Echo of Moscow radio.

 

According to Aushev, "the situation in Ingushetia has come to this state just because" there exists a whole "complex of problems".

 

According to him, "the fight against social crime, corruption, violation of all laws" must also be done integrated. "To separate a power part from an economic part or from social one - is wrong, everything should be solved there together. Therefore, one person, who heads the republic, must solve all questions", Aushev declared.

 

Aushev has also commented on Kadyrov's statement that Medvedev instructed him to lead the struggle against Mujahideen in Ingushetia.

 

According to Aushev's ...
