SCANDAL. Presidents of Estonia, Hungary and Finland demonstratively leave Russia
For censorship considerations, Russian media have concealed from their readers the fact that Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves left not only the conference room in protest of the slander against Estonia voiced at the so-called "Fifth World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples", but he also left Russia and returned to Tallinn on a passenger plane.
Russian-speaking readers were able to find out about it only from the forum of Estonian information agency Delfi. Ordinary Estonians fully approved of the action done by their President and pointed out that President has done well, did the right thing and that he shouldn't have gone to that propagandistic show in the first place, in the middle the purposeful Russification of Finno-Ugric nations enslaved by Russia.
SCANDAL. Estonians demonstratively leave congress in Khanty-Mansiysk
The Estonian delegation headed by the country's President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, has left a forum for Finno-Ugric nations in protest at comments made by the Chairman of Russian Duma's (Parliament's) International Affairs Committee, Konstantin Kosachev, who said that Estonia's ethnic policies are "unprincipled".
"One can't be solving problems in such a way, so that they affect the aggravation of ethnic conflicts," Russian official said when he was complaining about the behavior of European Parliament when supporting the Estonian authorities.
"It is pure politics. Unlike other states on former territories of our country, Russia has no need in special policies towards various ethnic groups. We have no problem with people of different ethnicities getting along with one another and living in a good-neighborly relations," Kosachev said.
‘Holocaust victims’ turned out to be victims of Gulag
Prominent American historian Sergei Melnikoff announced that he has dealt another blow to the so-called "Holocaust" myth. After he provided the information that it is not the victims of the "holocaust" against the Jews, but the victims of the Holocaust of Russians organized by the Red Russian-speaking unmen, the "Holocaust Museum" in Jerusalem had to remove that photograph from its exhibition, which Mr. Melnikoff was notified about personally in written form by the museum's director.
Melnikoff writes:
"One of the main targets for the beastly youngsters with no home, nation or brains was the photograph that Red Russian scum was ascribing to the crimes committed by the Nazis in Estonia. That scum was fulminating:
Death of Bodrov, film director and actor, was God’s punishment
Russian media reported that the death of Russian-speaking film director Bodrov was God's punishment. During the shooting of the movie "War" ("Voina") Bodrov's film crew was staging a combat and set a Muslim cemetery on fire in one of the villages high in the mountains of Upper Balkaria. All vegetation in the cemetery was burned, and gravestones got cracked and turned black.
The following day a messenger from Bodrov came to the Imam of Circassian District and handed him 10 thousand Russian rubles (equals to about $416 US dollars) for restoration of the cemetery and 5 more thousand rubles ($208) for the needs of Kashkhatau fire station. In the evening Bodrov paid a personal visit to Imam and asked him for an apology. "To forgive is up to the Most High only!" Imam replied to Bodrov.
Human Rights Watch addresses EU to press Moscow to end impunity for abuses in Chechnya
"The European Union should use its summit with Russia to press Moscow to end impunity for abuses in Chechnya and cease harassment of civil society in Russia." These demands are contained in the statement issued by Human Rights Watch June 25.
In 34 rulings to date, the European Court has repeatedly found Russia responsible for abuses in Chechnya, including torture, ‘disappearances,' and extrajudicial executions. Russia has generally paid out compensation to victims. But it has refused to carry out meaningful investigations or to implement measures to address the underlying causes of abuse, which the court has obliged Russia to do.
West hopes that Medvedev will not be Putin’s puppet
Summit of the European leaders in Khanty-Mansiisk may expose all of the conflicting points between Moscow and Europe. The Times writes that the signals form the Kremlin can mean that the relations with Russia, run by the new president, may improve, yet worsening of the relations can equally be anticipated.
Summit has been constantly postponed mainly due to the fact that EU members would refuse to negotiate in the disputes with Russia concerning the trade and energy. Yesterday Finland opened up a new cause for an argument: in the area of timber trade.
