Russia's Chief Justice Advocates A Return To Serfdom



There are always politicians who say that things were better in the past.

And the top judicial official in Russia is one of them — he appears to be advocating a return to serfdom.

Valery Zorkin, the head of Russia's Constitutional Court, wrote an article that was published in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta in which he praised serfdom.

(In Russia, Zorkin is the equivalent rank of the US Supreme Court's Chief Justice John Roberts.)

In the article he says the global situation is becoming increasingly more dangerous and that the system of international law is now based on "free interpretations from a position of strength."

He doesn't agree with the "free interpretations" of international law and suggests that it must be corrected by increased legal authority.

And then he switches gears to serfdom.

He advocates for serfdom and says that it was the main "staple" holding Russia together in the 19th century. He justifies his argument by saying that serfdom is beneficial for the serfs.

In the article he writes (translated from the original Russian by Business Insider):

Even with all of its shortcomings, serfdom was exactly the main staple holding the inner unity of the nation. It was no accident that the peasants, according to historians, told their former masters after the reforms: 'We were yours, and you — ours.'
The significance of Zorkin's serfdom advocacy

The roughly translated term "staple" (in Russian "скрепа") is significant. It's an older word that has become popular in recent years after Putin used it in a news conference in 2012.

Prior to the conference, that word was basically never used in speech.

In the news conference, Putin said there was a "lack of a spiritual staples" among Russians — meaning there was no spiritual unity. And he subsequently indicated that Russia needed a "spiritual cleanse."

"Putin essentially used the term 'скрепа' to mean the 'spiritual staples that unite the Russian society.' He was saying that we need a spiritual unity amongst the whole Russian society," a Moscovite told Business Insider.

Following Putin's news conference, Russian politicians and citizens have started using the word all over the place.

And Zorkin is following suit by using the Putin terminology to indicate that serfdom is the "spiritual staple that unites the [Russian] society."
Zorkin also compares the repeal of serfdom to Boris Yeltsin's reforms

Agrarian reforms were led by the former prime minister Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin. Serfdom was officially repealed in 1861 in Russia.

Zorkin argues in his article that: "Stolypin's reform took away communal justice from the peasants in exchange for individual freedom, which almost none of them knew how to live and which was depriving their community guarantees of survival."

He closes the piece by comparing the "abrupt" repeal of serfdom to the "abrupt" changes of the late 20th century following Boris Yeltsin's reforms.

In case your history is a little shaky, Boris Yeltsin is the former Russian president who transitioned the country from the communist Soviet Union to the pre-Putin capitalist Russia.

New Document Leak Reveals Scope of Collaboration Between Moscow and Donetsk





Anonymous Ukrainian hackers have leaked a cache of documents revealing the interactions between separatists in eastern Ukrainian and a Russian far-right political party. Among the seemingly endless bureaucratic documents, a few hidden gems reveal plans for a fuel delivery network between Russia and the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DNR), as well as an elaborate political campaign.

Ukrainian media outlets say Pushilin’s scanned passport is a smoking gun—proof that Russia is working with the separatists. The image, however, is only circumstantial evidence. A scanned passport photo doesn't necessarily prove anything, though a reverse Google image search reveals that the image taken from the LDPR servers did not appear online until two days ago.

lol, the same ruSSian pattern in Abkhazia

denying of crimes is crime per se

We are a “pain in the neck” for Russian chauvinists, hence such panicky reaction to any of Ukraine’s attempts to “leave”. Muscovy has been obsessed about Kyiv ever since it began to move towards the establishment of the Russian Empire. This is because Ukrainian historic and cultural heritage is the foundation for Russia’s state building. You can replace the roof, the windows or the doors in a building, but you can’t replace the foundation because it will change the building altogether and make it a totally different one. Remember Putin’s slogan: “The collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” It was that for Russia, and the imperialist-minded chauvinist that Vladimir Putin is. From the Ukrainian perspective, the collapse of the Soviet Union was the triumph of our national liberation movement. Just like the Battle of Poltava was a triumph for Russia and a tragedy for Ukraine.

Chubarov: Crimea is descending into Terror and Fear

It is over 24 hours since two young Crimean Tatars were abducted from Sary-Su near Belogorsk in the Crimea.  At around 19.00 on Saturday evening, 19-year-old Islam Dzhepparov and his 23-year-old cousin Dzhevdet Islamov were forced into a dark blue Volkswagen Transporter by men in uniforms.  The minivan then headed off in the direction of Feodosiya.

Despite the young men’s families having immediately reported the abduction, and even provided the registration number of the vehicle, there is still no sign of them.  The police and FSB are also denying any involvement in their disappearance.

Refat Chubarov, head of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis, writes of the abduction in response to Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov’s claim that he “hadn’t heard of any problems”. 

Chubarov points out that although the FSB appear to be searching for the young men, “it is clear that the FSB have established total control over the entire society in the Crimea. I can’t believe that a service which follows virtually every Crimean resident would have difficulty establishing who had carried out this latest act of violence against the Crimean Tatars”.

This, he notes, is while the Crimean authorities are continuing to support “at the highest level” the so-called ‘self-defence’ paramilitary units deployed since Russia occupied the Crimea in late February 2014.

These paramilitary thugs were almost certainly responsible for the abduction, torture and murder of 39-year-old Reshat Ametov in March. His abduction from outside the government building in Simferopol where he was holding a solitary protest against Russia’s invasion, was recorded on video.  There is no evidence that the authorities are even trying to find his murderers. They are also failing to take any measures to find three pro-Ukrainian civic activists - Timur Shaimardanov; Seiran Zinedinov and Leonid Korzh who disappeared within a week of each other in May.

Among the other problems that Lavrov claimed to have not heard of are the armed searches of Crimean Tatar homes, mosques, and religious schools, over the last weeks as well, of course, as the eviction of the Mejlis from its headquarters in Simferopol and the planned eviction of the Bakhchysarai Mejlis.

Lavrov was presumably hoping that his audience were not aware of the mounting offensive against the Crimean Tatars in their homeland.  Russia certainly pulled all levers in their attempts to prevent the Crimean Tatars even being represented at the UN Conference on Indigenous Peoples last week.  It was doubtless galling to Lavrov and Russian President Vladimir Putin that the two Crimean Tatar leaders  - Mustafa Dzhemiliev and Refat Chubarov - whom Russia has banned from their homeland were able to publicly speak of the mounting offensive being waged against Crimean Tatars.

This may be the reason for the new attack against Mustafa Dzhemiliev via his son Khaiser.  The latter has been moved from a detention centre in the Crimea to Russia’s Krasnodar region. This is in flagrant breach of a directive from the European Court of Human Rights which on July 10 applied Rule 39 ordering that Khaiser be released from custody.  Instead, the young man has been taken into Russia, with neither his family nor lawyers able to see him.

In August Mustafa Dzhemiliev recounted how he had been approached by Putin’s people who proposed a meeting which, they hinted, could determine whether or not Khaiser Dzhemiliev was released from custody.  His suspicions that his son was being used as a hostage are only confirmed by this latest move.

In Sary-Su a large number of Crimean Tatars gathered on Sunday at the home of one of the abducted young men, and are planning to come on Monday.  Abdureshit Dzhepparov says that the authorities have overstepped all limits when they force people to the floor in their own homes, and turn up at their schools and mosques. He stressed that Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed Crimean prime minister should explain the authorities’ actions in relation to the Crimean Tatars.

Russia and its occupation regime in the Crimea are demonstrating terrifying contempt for rule of law, including the instructions from the European Court of Human Rights which are binding on Russia.

It is difficult not to suspect that this latest abduction is aimed at instilling an atmosphere of terror and forcing the Crimean Tatars to leave their homeland.  Lack of adequate response from the international community will only compound what Refat Chubarov calls “a state of terror and fear”.  An unfolding tragedy for the Crimean Tatar people and a frightening moral defeat before the rule of the fist.

California's Fort Ross May Be Russian Territory, Lawmaker Says

Fort Ross, a 19th-century landmark on the northern coast of California, may have been illegally appropriated by the U.S., a Russian lawmaker said, urging the Foreign Ministry to launch a probe into the matter, Izvestia reported.

Mikhail Degtyarev, a State Duma deputy who made waves earlier this month by proposing a repainting of the Kremlin walls to their historic ivory hue, said the purchase of Fort Ross from Russia nearly two centuries ago may have been invalid.

Degtyarev sent a formal request urging the Foreign Ministry to dig into the issue, saying that if the sale was invalid, all subsequent developments of the property by U.S. authorities were invalid, and Russia may thus have a claim to the territory, Izvestia reported.

Fort Ross was founded in 1812 by the Russian-American Company, which had been created by the imperial household to establish new settlements on the North America. It was named "Ross" in honor of its connection to imperial Russia, or "Rossia."

Fort Ross served as trading hub for the Russian-American Company until it was sold in 1842 to John Sutter, a California pioneer of Swiss origin.

Some Russian historians have argued that the Russian side never received payment for the transaction and that the territory thus still belongs to Russia.

Degtyarev's initiative adds to the a long list of instances in which Russian lawmakers and social activists have questioned, facetiously at times, the status of American territories that once belonged to Russia.

In the aftermath of Russia's annexation of Crimea in March, a petition for the "secession of Alaska from the U.S. and joining Russia" appeared on the "We the People" section of White House's website. The petition had received more than 35,000 signatures one week after it was published.
