Russia offers the Jews to leave the country
Well ladies and gentlemen - that so long as the Bolsheviks repeated systematically continues to occur on the territory of the Russian state. Today, State Duma Deputy Yelena Mizulina faction "United Russia" stated that in modern Russia to see representatives of the people do not even want much. "I offer to help Russian Jews to move to Israel. Give them a lift and the medal "For the liberation of Russia!" We have to say to the Jews - you have your own country, go out there and leave us. We're somehow ourselves to deal » Such anti-Semitic position this odious politician explained by the following considerations "Today Russian Jews occupy excessively large role in the media, business, leadership. Any Jew, wherever he has worked, still looking in the direction of Israel and can not be a patriot of our country " So that the proposed ethnic cleansing according to Mrs. Mizulina lead to a significant improvement of the moral and political climate of the Russian state.

Activists From Limonov's Group Disrupt Makarevich Moscow Concert  Activists from the group led by nationalist Eduard Limonov have taken responsibility for disrupting a concert in Moscow by legendary Russian rock musician Andrei Makarevich. Makarevich was performing at Moscow's House of Music on September 25 when a group of people released a gas into the concert hall that made those watching the concert feel ill and forced them to exit the building temporarily. Limonov's group, which calls itself Other Russia, posted a message on its website claiming responsibility. The group emerged out of the now-defunct Other Russia movement, a broad opposition coalition that also included liberals like Garry Kasparov. Limonov, its leader, is a former Kremlin critic who has supported President Vladimir Putin's intervention in Ukraine. Pro-Kremlin lawmakers and commentators branded Makarevich a traitor after he gave concerts in Ukraine for refugees from the eastern part of the country, where government forces have been fighting pro-Russian separatists.

Putler, you said? Certainly gave me a good laugh.  Well, Putler said he could occupy Kiev in 2 weeks and I believe he is right (maybe 3-4 weeks because of logistics issues). Putin underestimated himself. If Russia invades Ukraine (for real), then everything will be over in 24 hours. There will be only two major battles. The battle of Kiev and the battle of Lvov. The first one will be fought in the morning and the second one in the afternoon. The regular Ukrainian forces will surrender even before the invasion begins. Only the right sector loonies will offer themselves as cannon fodder.  lol, all Ukraine be over in 24 hours - ruSSians still can't take one airport in weeks A small group of Ukrainians have been holding the Donetsk airport despite weeks of attacks -- the worst was yesterday, when they came under heavy artillery fire. But they held the airport and say that they inflicted heavy losses on the Russian side. During Russian attacks, they evidently hide in the airport's basements where they also hold Russian prisoners. I read a few reports where the Russians have called them cyborgs because they seem indestructible. http://crime.in.ua/node/6411 |

Facebook and Twitter asked to register in Russia as organizers of information distributionRussia’s federal oversight service in the sphere of communications and information technologies has notified internet services Facebook, Gmail and Twitter MOSCOW, September 26. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s federal oversight service in the sphere of communications and information technologies /Roscomnadzor/ has notified internet services Facebook, Gmail and Twitter about the necessity to be registered in Russia as organizers of information distribution, Maksim Ksenzov, Roscomnadzor’s deputy head, said in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper. “These three resources must make a decision about placing their data centres in Russia, under the laws on bloggers. They are getting prepared to and want to abide by the law,” he said, adding that such services as VKontakte, Yandex and Mail.Ru Group had already been entered in the corresponding register. In July, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law binding mail services and social networks to place personal data about Russian users only on servers in Russia. On September 19, the Russian State Duma lower parliament house adopted in the first reading amendments to speed up coming into force of the law binding to keep personal data about Russian on Russian servers. Under the bill, the norms adopted earlier will come into force from January 2015, instead of September 2016. In May, President Putin signed a law obliging bloggers, whose internet pages are daily visited by more than 3,000 users to comply with requirements applicable to the mass media. Apart from that, the law obliges social networks, search engines and forums to keep information posted by the users for six months. “We have informed all and we will make them abide by the law this or that way,” Ksenzov said. “They are holding consultations with each other, communicate with Californian legal services. We are also in consultations with them, but so far we are not pressing. http://en.itar-tass.com/russia/751343

Refat Chubarov: Repressions against Crimean Tatars are becoming life-threatening Two policemen walk past armed men standing guard at the entrance of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people (the single highest executive-representative body of the Crimean Tatars) in Simferopol on September 16, 2014. Editor's note: Below is the text of the remarks made by Refat Chubarov, leader of the Mejlis, the executive-representative body of Crimean Tatars, at the United Nations' conference on indigenous peoples on Sept. 24. Being part of the huge international community of indigenous peoples we are certainly happy with the success of each indigenous people and are sincerely concerned with the fate of those indigenous peoples whose rights and interests are being continuously ignored. The success of our joint work on ensuring the rights of indigenous peoples in UN framework is obvious. However we are facing new challenges and new threats to development and future of indigenous peoples. Crimea Tatars are the people who suffered total deportation from their native land in 1944, their return to the native land became possible on the eve of the Soviet Union collapse and coincided with establishment of independent Ukraine. At the same time our return and settlement were taking place under extremely complicated and controversial conditions in the past 23 years but we were full of hopes. As part of the Ukrainian political nation jointly with Ukrainian citizens of different nationalities, Crimean Tatars spoke up in November 2013 – February 2014 against political and economic corruption, supported the demands of the Ukrainian society for European integration. Our hopes to restore our rights were wiped out at the end of February – March 2014 as a result of the events that shocked the whole world – occupation and annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. It is very hard to count on ensuring the rights of indigenous peoples in case when the whole international legal framework and the power of multilateral and bilateral agreements and accords came under threat of complete destruction. Crimean Tatars, the indigenous people of the peninsula, by speaking up openly against Crimea’s occupation, have now become the most vulnerable group. De-facto the so-called Crimean authorities started systematic discrimination of Crimean Tatars by racial and ethnic origin, religion. Repressions are gaining the scale and character threatening life and safety of the Crimean Tatars. They include abductions of people, people going missing, bandits’ attacks on Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian civil activists, mass searches in private houses of the citizens, mosques, madrasah (Islamic colleges), libraries and schools. De-facto the so-called Crimean authorities aim to destroy national institutions of the Crimean Tatars – Kurultai (congress) and Mejlis (executive body) of Crimean Tatar people, both institutions operate in full accordance with the principles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in relation to the Crimea and Crimean Tatars the Russian Empire doctrine “Crimea without Crimean Tatars” is being implemented again, but this time in the XXI century. Moreover, it's done by UN member state, the Russian Federation. Our suggestions: 1. We join the requests of other indigenous peoples on granting the status of permanent observers across the whole UN system to the institutions representing indigenous peoples. 2. We support the suggestion on setting up a special UN agency with the mandate to assist, protect and report on activities of the states as to their implementation of indigenous peoples’ rights. However, in case of Crimea and in regard to the circumstances threatening the life and safety of Crimean Tatars we cannot wait until such agency is created. That’s why we call on the UN to establish a special mission on Crimea having set legal and other mechanisms of its permanent presence in Crimea. We are grateful to the Parliament of Ukraine for adopting the decisions for Ukraine to join the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and for recognizing the Crimea Tatar people’s status of indigenous people of Crimea. Thank you for attention. http://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/op-ed/refat-chubarov-repressions-against-crimean-tatars-are-becoming-life-threatening-365895.html

Kremlin Using Katyn Strategy in Ukraine to Cover Its Own Crimes, Portnikov Says Paul Goble Staunton, September 25 – Just as the Soviet government sought to evade its responsibility for the murder of Polish officers during World War II by blaming the Germans, so too the Russian government of Vladimir Putin is seeking to evade responsibility for its killings in Ukraine by blaming Ukrainian forces for them, according to Vitaly Portnikov. The Ukrainian commentator notes that in January 1944, Stalin formed a commission whose very title showed that he wasn’t interested in establishing the truth about the murders in Katyn but rather in winning support for his version of reality that the Germans and not the Soviets had committed them (rus.newsru.ua/columnists/24Sep2014/novkatyn.html). Now, 70 years later, Portnikov says, “Russian propaganda has received an analogous assignment – to tell the subjects of Vladimir Putin and the world about ‘the terrible crimes of [Ukrainian forces]’ on the territory of the Donbas,” including “certain ‘mass burials of peaceful residents’” by the National Guard and Ukrainian military. Just how fraudulent the current Russian effort is and just how much it resembles what Stalin did with amazing success at the end of World War II is shown by references in Moscow’s call for such investigations to institutions like “the Investigative Committee of the Donetsk Peoples Republic” which have never existed. Of course, Portnikov notes, in Russia itself, such institutions do exist and are “one of the important instruments of authoritarianism.” Thus is it entirely possible that they are being set up in Russian-occupied Donetsk and “possible include Russian investigators” who in their own country “have the reputation of falsifiers.” Other Russians involved in this revival of a Stalinist tactic include representatives from the Putin Presidential Council on Human Rights, the Putin Social Chamber, and others who can be counted on to report what the Kremlin wants reported and nothing else, Portnikov says. But the most cynical appointment to this group is that of the Council’s head Mikhail Fedotov. He has gained notoriety among other things for his calls to “investigate Ukrainian human rights activists,” clearly so that their reputations can be blacked in the media and their findings of Russian complicity in crimes on Ukrainian territory can thus be downplayed or rejected out of hand. But the most serious consequence of what the Kremlin is doing in this regard is not even the new wave of lies it will spread about, the Ukrainian commentator says. Instead, it is this: Russia cannot free the [Ukrainian] territories it has seized … because those occupied districts are the site of major crimes and the celebration of criminality.” To withdraw would open the way for a real investigation, and the lies of the Putin regime would thus stand revealed to the world just as those of the Stalin regime about the murder of Polish officers in Katyn were. But the Kremlin clearly calculates that it can muddy the waters on this long enough just as Stalin and his successors did to conceal its crimes and keep its conquest.

Gestapo is back. Putin Renames Police Unit After Bloody Cheka Founder DzerzhinskyPresident Vladimir Putin signed a decree restoring the title "Dzerzhinsky Division" to an elite police unit that was previously named after the founder of the Bolshevik secret police, the Interior Ministry's internal troops press service said Monday. Felix Dzerzhinsky founded the Cheka, a security apparatus notorious for orchestrating mass summary executions during the Russian Civil War and the Red Terror. Established in 1924, the unit bore his name from 1926 until 1994, when its name was changed to the Independent Operational Purpose Division, the press service said. Today the unit is tasked with maintaining public order in Moscow and the surrounding region, as well as in the North Caucasus. Dzerzhinsky's name and image have become a highly contentious issue in modern Russia. Earlier this month, members of the Communist Party erected a plaster monument to Dzerzhinsky in front of the FSB's headquarters — the infamous Lubyanka — in downtown Moscow to mark the 137th anniversary of his birth. A 15-ton sculpture of Dzerzhinsky stood in front of Lubyanka from 1958 until 1991, when it was toppled by protesters. There are periodically calls for the statue of the controversial figure to be returned, though so far they have not been successful. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/putin-renames-police-unit-after-bloody-secret-police-founder/507588.html |

Russia Shuts Crimean Tatars' Headquarters in New Crackdown Police, Masked Thugs Bar Tatar, Other Ethnic Leaders From Attending UN Conference Today  Masked soldiers without insignia guard the entrance to the headquarters of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis after Russia’s Crimean authorities raided and sealed the building September 16. Russia has banned the most prominent Tatar leader, former Mejlis Chairman Mustafa Dzhemilev, from entering Crimea, and has searched Tatar homes and institutions for “prohibited literature.” (Oleg Kamushkin/krymr.org-RFE/RL) Russian authorities in Crimea have moved since last week to silence and isolate the peninsula’s main ethnic Tatar community and political organization, the Mejlis. Russia’s government has shut down the group’s headquarters in Crimea and tried to prevent Tatar representatives from attending a United Nations conference in New York on indigenous peoples. Crimea’s Tatars, who are Muslim and ethnically Turkic, form about 10 percent of Crimea’s two million-plus population. Russia started suppressing Tatars and other dissenters as soon as it seized the peninsula from Ukraine in March. It banned the Tatars’ most senior leader, former Mejlis chairman Mustafa Dzhemilev, from entering Crimea. Authorities shut down Tatar pro-Ukraine news organizations and TV channels; arrested and harassed independent journalists; and deported a Crimean filmmaker to Moscow for trial on terrorism charges. Still, the Russian authorities held back during the summer campaign for local elections held last week. In the September 14 vote, the government of President Vladimir Putin was seeking to strengthen its hold on local and provincial assemblies nationwide, and in Crimea. On the peninsula, the Putin-allied United Russia party won control of the new provincial legislature. Mejlis Offices Seized Then, just hours after the polls closed, the new crackdown began – at 3:15 a.m. That was when security cameras at the Mejlis’s headquarters building showed three masked men, one with a gun, and one who climbed the building’s façade to rip down a Ukrainian flag that the Mejlis had flown for months alongside its own Tatar community flag. Hours later, according to an account by human rights advocate and writer Halya Coynash of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group, officers of Russia’s state security police, the FSB, arrived and with “armed men in military uniform blocked the Mejlis and carried out an eleven-hour search” of the building. The Central District Court of Simferopol ordered the building’s owner, a charity called the Crimea Fund, to vacate the structure within twenty-four hours. The order froze bank accounts and other assets of the fund over what the court said was an unspecified lawsuit by unnamed persons against the charity. Mejlis officials tried to evacuate as much of their equipment and files as they could, but the building, which also houses the offices of the group’s newspaper and of the Crimea Fund, could not be emptied fully. Authorities sealed it and seized much of the groups’ property still inside. Tatars, Other Ethnic Leaders Assaulted Russia also has tried to block Crimea’s Tatars (as well as other indigenous Russian minority groups) from taking part in the United Nations’ first-ever World Conference on Indigenous Peoples, which is taking place today in New York. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin tweeted last week that “Russian Federation has submitted a written protest against participation of Mejlis” in the conference. While the Russian protest was disallowed, a prominent Tatar minority rights advocate, Nadir Bekirov, was prevented from leaving Crimea when a vanload of thugs intercepted his car as he began his trip to New York. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reporters in Simferopol wrote that Bekirov told them that “Four masked men emerged, pulled him from his car, forced him to the ground, and took his Ukrainian passport and mobile phone. He said one of the attackers opened his passport and told the others: ‘Yes, that's him!’” Left without his passport, Bekirov was unable to leave Crimea for the conference. (Russia blocked other indigenous minority leaders from attending the conference, according to the International Work Group on Indigenous Affairs, a network of researchers and human rights activists. Rodion Sulyandziga, and ethnic Udege from Siberia who was one of the organizers of the UN conference, was denied permission to fly out of Moscow after officials took his passport and returned it to him with a page removed – a condition they said disqualified him from traveling. Valentina Sovkina and another leader of the Saami ethnic group were delayed in leaving for the conference after her “car tires were cut, they were stopped by traffic police for several hours and an attempt was made to snatch Sovkina’s belongings,” the group reported.) Police Searches for ‘Prohibited Literature’ The crackdown against Crimea’s Tatars has included a string of armed searches by police of the homes of Mejlis leaders and other Tatar activists, as well as at a Tatar school and a mosque. The officers told Tatars that they were in search of “weapons, drugs and prohibited literature,” according to an account last week by Andrei Kolokoltsev, a Simferopol correspondent of RFE-RL. Many of Crimea’s Tatars describe Russia’s military seizure of Crimea in March as a third historic tragedy for their community, following the czarist Russian Empire’s annexation of their state in 1783, and former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s brutal deportation of all Tatars from Crimea to Central Asia in 1944, an ordeal in which nearly half of their quarter-million population died. Since the 1992 collapse of the Soviet Union, the Tatars have been moving back to Crimea to rebuild their community, a process that some ethnic Russians on the peninsula have resisted, for fear of losing power, land, and economic advantages.
