Don’t play dead for Putin

Posted by Matt in December 6th, 2006

What the West can do help stop the authoritarian Russian president from garnering too much influence in the world.

THERE ARE A lot of ways to make a man’s death look like an accident, suicide or a street crime. That wasn’t the intent of whoever murdered former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. By using such an exotic murder weapon — a radioactive isotope known as polonium-210 — his killers sent a message: Don’t mess with the powers that be in Russia.

The identity of his murderers is likely to remain unknown, but in all probability Litvinenko was poisoned because of his campaign against Russian President Vladimir V. Putin and the KGB’s successor, the FSB. He is only the latest to pay with his life for offending Russia’s ruling clique. The list of prominent people murdered in the last few years includes crusading journalists such as Anna Politkovskaya (whose death Litvinenko was investigating), politicians, executives and government officials. Others, such as Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, have narrowly survived assassination attempts or have been exiled or silenced with threats of violence or legal charges.

Russian War Criminal, General Baranov, Hero of Russia
July 27th 2006 the European Court will give the verdict in case Bazorkina vs Russia. Bazorkina's son "disappeared" in the hands of Russian soldiers. The interestring thing is that CNN got on film sequence, where general Baranov gave order to kill the wounded soldier, Bazorkina's son. Baranov later was appointed "Hero of Russia" and is now the highest commander of all Russian troups in North Caucasus. This film shows that Baranov is a war criminal, a simple killer. His promotion and high rank in the Russian army shows a dark side of Putin's Russia.

Russia warns NATO over build-up of warships in Black Sea. This video shows the arrival of two of them amongst protest in Turkey
Russia's military says it is bewildered by the build-up of NATO's naval force in the Black Sea -- and scoffed at claims the warships were delivering humanitarian aid. Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing that there are currently ten NATO warships with cruise missiles in the area, and eight more are expected to arrive there shortly. "These ships are very seriously armed," Nogovitsyn said. "As far as cruise missiles are concerned, they are strategic arms and have a range of 2,500 km. The Black Sea is just a pool for them." The Colonel General added it's very hard to believe these ships have arrived just to bring humanitarian aid. He said the build-up was connected with Georgia's wish to restore its military potential and...

Russia threatened by US Missile Shield in Europe
US signed missile defense shield in former CCCP satellite province. Our Russian General Yuri Baluyevsky said, "We have no plans to attack anyone, but we consider it necessary for all our partners in the world community to clearly understand ... that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, including with the use of nuclear weapons."

My response to this... My Russia is the largest nuclear power. NATO/US must realize otherwise direct attack of RUSSIAN FORCES is incoming. Russia is...

The Activists 1/12
The Activists (Aktivistit), Finnish action and agent movie from 1939 directed by Risto Orko. The movie is set in the s.c. "years of oppression", a time when Finns aspired at freedom from the Russian empire. On one part there is the russian militaries and gendarmes loyal to the Czar, on the other part the Finnish separatist movement, the activists. Between those two antagonist sides there are the collaborating Finns like Senator Niskanen and the Finnish adjutant of the Russian general Danilov... The Jaeger-movement is a central issue in the movie. Jaegers (jääkärit) where Finnish troops trained in Germany. Due to it's clear anti-Russian tendencies, this movie was banned during the era of "finlandization", when Finnish politicians tried to please the Soviet neighbours. This ban was...

Soviet Union UDSSR National Anthem 1917-1944
In 1917 Russia went through two revolutions: February 24 - 29 and October 24 - 25. The first revolution overthrew the tsarist government and replaced it with a Provisional Government of Duma members (mostly members of the Cadet party), who allowed a Contact Commission of the Petrograd Soviet to advise the government. Protests and strikes against the new government quickly grew as Russia's involvement in World War I lingered on, and the Provisional Government responded by establishing a Coalition Government with the Executive Committee of the Petrograd Soviet. This Dual Power however, created a confused bureaucratic quagmire, leading the government to inaction on urgent issues such as the widespread famine and slaughter on the front. Such crisis resulted in opportunities for some to seize...
