Hi, folks!
V prednovogodnie dni stjagivalos' kol'tso blokady Groznogo. TV peredalo
reportazh s press-konferentsii Gracheva, polnoj mrachnyh ugroz po adresu
nenazvannogo po imeni S.A.Kovaleva. E naznachil Kovaleva chlenom
prezidentskoj komissii po sobljudeniju prav cheloveka v protsesse
vosstanovlenija konstitutsionnoj zakonnosti v Chechne (eto slovosochetanie
- "narushenija prav cheloveka v hode vosstanovlenija zakonnosti" - ne
samyj sil'nyj shedevr kantseljarskogo jazyka, v kontse pis'ma budet
kruche).
31 dekabrja Dudaev predlozhil prekraschenie ognja na novogodnie prazdniki
- s 20 chasov 31/12/1994. Vmesto etogo vlasti reshili vzjat' gorod
nochnym shturmom. Shturm nachalsja vecherom 31-go i rezko usililsja utrom 1
janvarja. Po meteouslovijam podderzhki s vozduha ne bylo, shrurmovali 6
tankovyh kolonn. Oni prodvinulis' s odnogo iz napravlenij k tsentru
goroda i podoshli vplotnuju k dvortsu. Drugaja kolonna vrode by zanjala
vokzal. V shturme uchastvovali obychnye vojska, poteri obeih storon
uzhasajuschie. Opjat' byla poterjana takticheskaja upravljaemost', tanki
otorvalis' ot pehoty. Sudja po vsemu, haoticheskij boj prodolzhaetsja, i
obstanovka pozvoljaet russkim govorit' "ulitsy goroda patrulirujutsja
militsiej, proishodit ochistka podvalov ot boevikov", a chechentsam -
"russkie okruzheny i istrebljajutsja". Do sih por ne vvedeny v dejstvie
elitnye podrazdelenija (otrjad "Vympel", perepodchinennyj posle oktjabrja
1993 MVD), i eto razumno (oni esche ponadobjatsja v Moskve). Vozmozhno, ih
vvedut v delo pod pokrovom nastupivshej nochi. Zachem? Dudaeva, pohozhe,
net v bunkere dvortsa s vechera, tam ostalis' russkie deputaty,
zhurnalisty i mini-gospital', v kotoryj snosjat ranenyh pri shturme, v
tom chisle russkih soldat.
Sjurrealisticheskoe vpechatlenie proizvodit prodolzhajuschajasja po TV reklama
"offshornoj zony Ingushetija". Pohozhe, ne tol'ko ingushej, a vse narody
Kavkaza zhdut strashnye vremena. Vmeste s tem medlenno, no verno padajut
pokazateli lichnoj populjarnosti E i nyneshnej vojny. Nakonets-to na fone
razgovorov o "edinom dem. fronte" (ot "demokraticheskih" tusovok do
gazety "Pravda") nachinaet obsuzhdat'sja soderzhatel'naja storona takogo
ob'edinenija: bor'ba za uprazdnenie posta prezidenta RF. Nado skazat',
chto chem shire budut predvybornye koalitsii (a oni budut shirokimi, ibo
vse ponimajut - esli vybory vse zhe sostojatsja, eto budet javno pervyj i
poslednij shans), tem sil'nee budet zhelanie vlast' podelit', chego
nyneshnjaja konstitutsija ne pozvoljaet.
Obeschannaja naposledok istorija o stile jazyka vlasti - ona proshla pochti
nezamechennoj iz-za vojny. Okolo goda nazad mer Vladivostoka Cherepkov
byl snjat s posta glavoj administratsii Primorskogo kraja Nazdratenko i
arestovan (mer - eto vybrannyj glava administratsii; vybory koe-gde
uspeli projti do perevorota, i teh uvolili; te zhe, kogo vybrali
posle, ostalis'. E vskore zapretil dal'nejshie vybory glav
administratsij). Sledstvie protiv Cherepkova prodolzhalos' god, chast'
vremeni on byl v tjur'me. Polgoda byl v tjur'me ego syn po takzhe javno
fal'shivomu obvineniju. Srazu zhe byl naznachen novyj glava
administratsii Vladivostoka. V nachale dekabrja Cherepkov byl opravdan, v
postanovlenii o prekraschenii dela est' standartnaja fraza "vosstanovit'
v imuschestvennyh i trudovyh pravah". Na sledujuschij den' E izdal ukaz ob
uvol'nenii ot dolzhnosti "glavy administratsii Vladivostoka Cherepkova"
po pros'bam trudjaschihsja i V SVJaZI S DLITEL'NYM NEISPOLNENIEM
OBJaZANNOSTEJ".
Hochetsja bol'she vsego, chtoby zhertvy zaschitnikov Groznogo byli ne
naprasny: eto delo mozhet, a znachit - dolzhno stat' nachalom kontsa
prezidentskoj diktatury v Rossii. Tol'ko POSTOJaNNOE davlenie na
pravitel'stva Zapada rezul'tativno - dejstvitel'no rezul'tativno, eto
pokazal opyt chechenskogo krizisa. Zhertvennye zaschitniki Groznogo
vyigrali vremja dlja probuzhdenija mirovogo soobschestva, probuzhdenija, byt'
mozhet, slishkom pozdnego dlja Chechni. Nash dolg - chtoby ono okazalos' ne
slishkom pozdnim dlja Rossii.
V buduschem godu - v svobodnoj Rossii!

New Visa Regime Means Fewer Visits to the U.S. Embassy
for Russian Travelers
Beginning Wednesday, January 4, 1995, all U.S. embassies and
consular posts throughout the world will begin issuing to citizens of
the Russian Federation tourist and business visas which are valid for
three years for unlimited entries to the U.S. Visa applicants who do
not wish three-year, multiple-entry visas may elect to receive a visa
which is valid for three entries during one year.
The fee for a three-year, multiple-entry visa will be the same as
the present one-year, multiple-entry fee: $120.00 or ruble equivalent.
The fee for the one-year, three-entry visa is $60.00 or ruble
equivalent. These fees are in addition to the non-refundable $20.00
application fee which must be paid prior to submitting a visa
application. Single entry visas will no longer be generally issued.
By reducing the frequency with which Russian travelers to the
U.S. must apply for visas, the Government of the United States hopes
to reduce inconveniences in the visa application process as well. We
are hopeful that the Russian Federation will approve a similarly
liberalized visa regime for American citizens applying for visas to this
country. The American practice is generally to apply reciprocity in
regard to the validity of visas.
In addition to offering a three-year, multiple-entry visa the
Embassy has introduced the following services to make the visa
process easier for applicants:
"express service" - for persons over 60 years old, persons with
adult immediate relatives who are U.S. citizens, students, exchange
visitors who are returning to the same program in the U.S., or
persons who have already traveled twice to the U.S. for short visits;
the "group window" - for groups of five or more persons going to
the U.S. for non-tourist purposes, such as business seminars,
educational exchanges, or athletic competitions;
the Foreign Commercial Service program - for U.S. business
persons resident in Russia who wish to submit applications for
persons invited to the U.S. for business purposes by their company;
the travel agency service - for Russian businesspersons to submit
their applications through selected travel agents.
Information on these streamlined procedures is available at the
consular section's receptionist window located under the American
flag at Novinskiy Blvd. 19/23.

RUSSIAN TROOPS RETREAT FROM GROZNY. Russian
artillery and aerial bombardment of Grozny and
surrounding villages intensified on 3 January as Russian
ground troops withdrew in disarray from the city center,
Russian and Western agencies reported. Some 100 people
were killed when Russian planes bombed a hospital in the
town of Shali 30 kilometers southeast of the Chechen
capital, according to AFP quoting Radio Moskvy. Russian
press coverage of the fighting was at odds with
developments on the ground, claiming that Russian forces
had regained the initiative and were consolidating control
of Grozny, the Los Angeles Times reported on 4 January. A
spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry quoted by
Interfax on 3 January denied Chechen claims that as many
as 600 Russians had been killed during the storming of
Grozny on 30 December-1 January, and hundreds more,
including one general and four colonels, taken prisoner; the
Los Angeles Times quoted eyewitnesses in Grozny who
claimed to have counted over 400 Russian corpses and 150
disabled tanks and armed personnel carriers in the streets.
-- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
CHECHEN LEADERSHIP "READY TO BEGIN
NEGOTIATIONS." AFP of 4 January quoted Ostankino
Television as reporting on 3 January that Russian parliament
deputy Sergei Kovalev had sent an open letter from Grozny
to Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin stating that
at the request of Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev
he had held informal talks with the Chechen leadership.
Kovalev said that the Chechens had expressed their
readiness to begin talks immediately on a cease-fire and the
coordinated disengagement of forces, on condition that
Russian forces withdraw to the positions they occupied
before the onslaught on Grozny on 30 December.
Chernomyrdin began talks on the Chechen situation on 3
January with State Duma Speaker Ivan Rybkin and
Federation Council Chairman Vladimir Shumeiko; they are
to continue on 4 January. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISASTER? Both
Western military experts and Yeltsin's spokesman
Vyacheslav Kostikov argued on 3 January that blame for the
military debacle in Grozny lies squarely with the Russian
military leadership. Reuters on 3 January quoted unnamed
Western experts as commenting that the assault on Grozny
was badly planned and incompetently executed with
demoralized troops who had minimal experience street
fighting and little combat experience in general. Kostikov
for his part was quoted by ITAR-TASS as contending that
"the legitimacy of the president's and the government's
actions should not be questioned . . . instead we should
question the professionalism of the people who planned
this operation." Also on 3 January, former Prime Minister
Egor Gaidar told a news conference in Moscow that the
Chechen crisis increases the chances of a coup that would
lead to the imposition of a dictatorship in Russia, according
to the Los Angeles Times of 4 January. Arguing that "only the
president can stop the bloodshed in Chechnya" Gaidar said
that "Yeltsin must get rid of those who pushed him into the
Chechen adventure, above all, Egorov, Grachev, and
Lobov." -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
KOZYREV, CHRISTOPHER MEETING IN THE OFFING?
AFP reported on 4 January that US Secretary of State Warren
Christopher and Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev
are to meet in Geneva, probably on 17 and 18 January.
Recently, the Chechnya crisis has placed a strain on US-
Russian relations, and AFP quotes State Department
representative Michael McCurry as saying that while
"Chechnya is by international recognition part of Russia,"
Washington's view is that "we don't like innocent civilians
losing their lives." Recently Kozyrev defended Russian
actions in Chechnya by comparing the situation there to
that in the secessionist US South during the US Civil War
more than 125 years ago. -- Stan Markotich, OMRI, Inc.
RUSSIAN ANALYSTS EVALUATE SOCIETY. On 2
January Interfax reported on a poll of 145 political analysts
throughout Russia, conducted by the Russian Academy of
Public Service this past December. According to the report,
half those questioned described the current social and
political climate in Russia as "alarming and threatening."
Survey respondents indicated they felt that social
conditions will make conflict likely in 1995, with possible
"conflicts between the public and the authorities . . .
especially dangerous." Analysts also saw opportunities for
continuing ethnic conflict, but speculate that tensions
between federal and regional authorities will not be as grave
as other forms of strife. A full 60% observed that some form
of "mass social protest actions" are likely in the regions
where they live. On the brighter side, analysts predict that
most conflicts will not escalate to the point where aggrieved
parties opt for violent solutions. Non-violent forms of
protest, including strikes and demonstrations, are projected
as dominating the political and social landscape. -- Stan
Markotich, OMRI, Inc.
SERGEI KOVALEV NAMED "MAN OF THE YEAR" FOR
1994. Several newspapers in Moscow and St. Petersburg
reported recently on the results of a Public Opinion
Foundation survey in which the respondents were asked to
name the persons they regarded to be the "best" and the
"worst" personality of 1994. Sergei Kovalev, the veteran
human-rights campaigner, currently in Grozny as an
eyewitness to the events in Chechnya, was "almost
unanimously" chosen as the "man of the year." Russian
President Boris Yeltsin was awarded the title of "worst man
of the year." In a separate development, RFE/RL and Russian
TV reported that Kovalev's colleagues from the Russia's
Choice faction in the State Duma, Nikolai Vorontsov and
Egor Gaidar, urged on 3 January that Kovalev be nominated
for the Nobel Peace Prize. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
SAKHALIN WORKERS GET LIQUOR INSTEAD OF
MONEY. Interfax reported on 3 January that management at
a Sakhalin joint-stock paper company has paid a portion of
its workers' salaries in "mostly low-quality wine" shipped in
from the mainland and bartered for the paper produced by
the company. Previously, firemen working with the firm were
paid in red wine, perhaps explaining why "they failed to
extinguish fire in a coal gallery on the same day." -- Stan

Dear folks,
A few weeks ago, Russia started its war against Chechnya. It is clear by
now (if it wasn't clear to some of you earlier), that this war is a crime,
a war of extermination waged by the Russian military largely against
civilian population; it is a mass violation of human rights; it has
already came close to genocide; and who knows what will happen next.
We've got quite a lot of reports (in particular by Andrianov and
Suhanov) from Moscow. Good people in Russia are doing what they can to
stop this war. We can do here even more. As was suggested on this net
by Maxim Poliashenko , we can call our senators
and congressmen, and send e-mail to Mr. President and Vice-President,
telling them "NO U.S. AID, NO U.S. MONEY FOR CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT OF
RUSSIA !!!" Boris Velikson , posted here a
copy of his letter to President Clinton of similar content. Oleg
Kolosov suggested that this kind of letters be
sent to the governments and influential organizations in other Western
countries.
I've sent my letter to Mr. President too (anybody who is interested can
ask me for a copy). At this point, however, I decided to go one step
further. I want to suggest that those of us who support an action of
the United States Government to stop the war of Russia against Chechnya
send a collective letter to Mr. President of the United States and Mr.
Vice-President. With a lot of signatures, the letter will have a chance
to be read. (Sure, sure, I do remember that old joke about intelegent i
huligan where the intelegent in response to the voice of reason -- "Ne
pi**i!" -- screams "Net, ya budu pi**et', ya printsipial'no budu
pi**et'!":-):-). Yet, like an old battle horse:-), here I go... Anyway,
below you'll find the text of the proposed letter. I tried to make it
short and to the point, and write it the way hopefully acceptable to as
many of you as possible. We can do it in two possible ways.
(i) You send me your "signatures" and I compile them into one block
together with the text of the letter and get it out to Mr. President
and Mr. Vice-President. I'll be waiting for your msgs until Jan.
10'95, noon, collect whatever signatures I've got, and get the letter
out. If anybody got their signatures to me later, I can send an
"addendum" letter to the same addressees.
(ii) You can use this text below for your OWN letters to whoever you
think is best. If you do so, I would still appreciate it if you send me
a msg notifying me that you've sent it out (I need it basically for my
statistics). My own opinion though is that the larger single "snowball"
we generate, the better.
If in your signature you are eligible to use titles like "Prof.",
"Dr.", "Group Leader", "MD", "Director", "President (or Vice-President)
of Co.", or anything of this nature, please do NOT hesitate of using
them; I actually would encourage you to do so! (unlike our regular
postings, in which I usualy discourage it:-). Same, if you are a US
citizen. BUT, folks, a signature of ANYONE of you will count! (either
in the US or outside of it; academia people and business; housewives
and free spirits:-); males and females, etc.; but no pets, please:-).
I strongly encourage you to join the letter if you support its main
thrust. Aside from your name, you may want to use your address (office
or home, it doesn't matter), and your e-mail. If any of your friends
who are not IR-subscribers, wish to join the letter, they are most
welcome too; just include their names in your msg to me (of course,
with their consent only).
The more signatures, the better; I am thinking of at least 100
signatures which makes it a bit less than 10% of the total number of
IR-subscribers (there are about 1050 of us now). I may also need a few
volunteers (preferably -- veteran subscribers) to help me to handle the
job of compiling the signatures into a single list (if I really get a
lot of them:-), so please in your msgs regarding joining the letter,
indicate whether you are willing to help me. If there are no strong
objections, I'll be joining this letter too (just for you not to feel
lonely:-).
My best, and Happy New Year,

Dear Mr. President and Mr. Vice-President:
We want to express our grave concerns over the war by Russia against
the break-away republic of Chechnya and the position of the United
States in what is happening. The war waged by the Russian government
and its military largely against the civilian population is a violation
of human rights on a grand scale, bordering on genocide. The losses
among the population are tremendous; hundreds thousand of people,
including women and children, have became refugees. There is no
justification whatsoever for the Russian government to methodically
murder civilians.
To maintain that what is happening is the internal matter of the
Russian government, is to greatly encourage its criminal behavior. The
United States Government must use all its clout to stop the war. A
possible way to do that is to make it known to the Russian government
that all financial aid, all agreements advancing Russia's interests,
will be frozen or canceled altogether if the war continues.
We are asking you to use all the means available to you, to influence
the Russian government to terminate the war.
With our best regards,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

YELTSIN ORDERS HALT TO BOMBING OF GROZNY. On 4
January Russian President Boris Yeltsin ordered the Russian
military to desist from bombing the Chechen capital Grozny
at midnight that night, according to Russian radio and
television. The exact military situation in Grozny on 4 January
was unclear: the Russian Interior Ministry press service as
quoted by Interfax of 4 January claimed that Russian interior
ministry troops "continued to force militants out of Grozny
during the morning;" other Russian media reported that
Chechen forces were retreating southwards from the city. ITAR-
TASS reported that Russian troop reinforcements were being
sent to Chechnya, and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai
Egorov told a press conference in Mozdok that Russian forces
could be in control of Grozny by 5 January. He also said that
the Chechen "government of national revival" headed by
Salambek Khadzhiev would begin work in Grozny as of 5
January. Russian presidential advisor Emil Pain told Interfax
on 4 January that empowering either Deputy Prime Minister
Sergei Shakhrai or Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin to
negotiate with the Chechen leadership in place of Egorov and
intelligence chief Sergei Stepashin could expedite the
resumption of talks on a political settlement of the Chechen
crisis. Interfax on 4 January quoted the head of the opposition
Chechen Provisional Council, Umar Avturkhanov, as stating
that his forces will not comply with Yeltsin's demand to
surrender their weapons until Dudaev's forces have been
completely neutralized. Also on 4 January, Interfax quoted an
unidentified senior Russian Foreign Ministry official as stating
that Moscow is drafting an official response to the OSCE
proposal to send a group of experts to evaluate the human
rights situation in Chechnya. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
CHECHNYA SUBJECT NOT ON THE TABLE AT US-
RUSSIAN BILATERAL TALKS? "The situation in Chechnya is
not a subject for the talks," Nikolai Spassky, the Russian Foreign
Ministry's North American Department Director, told Interfax
on 4 January. Spassky was referring to talks between Russian
Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev and US Secretary of State
Warren Christopher, tentatively scheduled to be held on 17 or
18 January in Geneva. Spassky did, however, say that except for
Chechnya, both sides would discuss the entire gamut of
bilateral relations and would likely concentrate on affairs in
Europe, including the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. --
Stan Markotich, OMRI, Inc.
RUSSIA WARNS MUSLIM AMBASSADORS OVER
MERCENARIES IN CHECHNYA. The Russian Foreign Ministry
summoned the ambassadors of Afghanistan, Iran, Jordan,
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and the Turkish charge d'affaires on
4 January and warned them that their respective governments
should take all necessary steps to preclude the further
recruiting and dispatch to Chechnya of mercenaries from
their countries, AFP and Interfax reported. Iranian President
Ali Akbar Rafsanjani warned on 4 January that the Russian
military intervention in Chechnya could undermine Russia's
links with the Islamic world, according to AFP, which further
quoted a statement by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman
Mahmud Mohammadi published in the Iranian press that the
Iranian government has offered to send humanitarian aid to
Chechnya "to relieve the sufferings of the Chechen people." In
Ankara, Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ferhat Ataman
condemned the Russian military intervention and resulting
civilian casualties which he saId could have serious
destabilizing consequences for the entire Caucasus region, and
affirmed that Turkey considers a cease-fire declaration
"indispensable." -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
KOVALEV IN MOSCOW, TO MEET YELTSIN,
AMBASSADORS. Russian human rights envoy Sergei Kovalev
arrived in Moscow on 5 January, a day after he told a news
conference in the Ingush capital, Nazran, that he was going to
meet President Boris Yeltsin and foreign ambassadors to
inform them about human rights violations that have taken
place in the course of Russian air attacks on Grozny. Kovalev
also carried an appeal signed by 84 Russian POWs held
prisoner in the cellar of the Presidential Palace in Grozny who
condemn the Russian military intervention in Chechnya.
According to Kovalev, he and his fellow human rights
campaigner, Oleg Orlov, will return to Grozny if the military
action there continues. Along with three members of the State
Duma Human Rights Commission, Kovalev and Orlov had
been in Grozny monitoring the situation personally since 14
December 1994. The three deputies--Valerii Borshchev of the
liberal Yabloko faction in the Duma, and Mikhail Molostvov
and Yulii Rybakov (both of Russia's Choice) remain in the
cellar of the Presidential Palace. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.

BALTIC AMERICANS CALL ON US TO END SILENCE ON CHECHNYA
In light of the unrelenting and arbitrary violence of Russian
forces in Chechnya and the reports of human rights violations by
Russia's own Human Rights Commissioner, the Joint Baltic American
National Committee once again calls upon the United States to
denounce the extreme actions of the Russian Federation and to
encourage a non-violent settlement of the conflict through
bilateral negotiation or international mediation.
The Russian Federation's use of force against the civilian
population of Chechnya, many of whom are ethnic Russians, directly
violates principles set forth by the Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe's Budapest meeting (December 1994) which
state: "If recourse to force cannot be avoided in performing
internal security missions, each participating State will ensure
that its use must be commensurate with the needs of enforcement.
The armed forces will take due care to avoid injury to civilians or
their property." (CSCE Budapest Conference Document, VII.36)
Aerial bombardment by the Russian military against "military
targets" which have included an orphanage, a hospital, residential
houses, markets and civilian vehicles displays Russia's lack of
concern for civilians, human rights, and the CSCE principles Russia
agreed to uphold. These actions have been documented and reported
on - as in yesterday's Washington Post article "Russian Jets Focus
on Civilian Targets."
The silence of the United States regarding these violations
threatens the basic principle of the universality of human rights,
whether in Haiti or in Russia, and the future role of the CSCE in
European security structures.
The United States must demand that Russia respect the principles of
the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and resume
negotiations with Chechnya in order to find a non-violent solution
which would result in a just and lasting peace.

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 5, 6 January 1995
------------------------------------------------------------------
GROZNY BOMBING CONTINUES. Despite Russian
President Boris Yeltsin's order of 4 January to halt the
bombing of Grozny at midnight that night, bombing raids
on Grozny and neighboring villages continued on 5 January,
Ostankino Television reports. Dudaev's forces remained in
control of the center of Grozny but were surrounded by
Russian forces, according to the Russian government press
center. Ostankino further reported that on 5 January the
Chechen "government of national reconciliation," headed
by Salambek Khadzhiev, issued a statement supporting the
restoration of constitutional order in Chechnya but
condemning as "a mistake" the ongoing bombing of
peaceful towns and villages that could result in nationwide
protests. Speaking in Mozdok (North Ossetia) on 5 January,
Federal Counter-Intelligence head Sergei Stepashin rejected
the prospect of a protracted guerrilla war in Chechnya,
vowing to eliminate the Chechen opposition, according to
Interfax. Discussing the reasons for the failure of Russian
troops to establish control in Grozny, Segodnya disclosed
on 5 January that neither the Defense Ministry nor any
other power structure has units specially trained for urban
combat against a well-armed enemy. Spetsnaz forces are
trained for acts of sabotage and reconnaissance but have
never been used to storm urban areas. The Georgian
government has sent troops to the Georgian border with
Chechnya to prevent Chechen forces from entering
Georgia, Interfax reported on 5 January. In Moscow, State
Duma deputies from Russia's Choice, Yabloko and the
December 12 liberal-democratic union continued to collect
signatures to press for an emergency debate on Chechnya,
Interfax reported on 5 January. The Democratic Russia party
unveiled a new peace initiative for Chechnya comprising a
cease-fire, the withdrawal of all Russian military formations
and armor from Grozny, and the release by both sides of
prisoners of war, to be followed by negotiations at
government level on a peace settlement. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI,
Inc.
INTERNATIONAL REACTION. German President Helmut
Kohl said on 5 January that he had informed Russian
President Boris Yeltsin by phone the previous day that
although he regarded the conflict in Chechnya as an
internal Russian affair, he considered the civilian casualties
too high, according to The New York Times of 6 January. In
Washington, according to a separate report in The New
York Times, senior White House aides have drafted a letter
for President Clinton's approval appealing to Yeltsin to
stop inflicting civilian casualties in Chechnya and to
consider the proposal made earlier this month by the EU to
involve the OSCE in the search for a solution to the
Chechen crisis. The Washington Post of 6 January quoted
US Secretary of State Warren Christopher as stating that his
Russian counterpart, Andrei Kozyrev, informed him by
telephone on 4 January of the Russian leadership's
willingness to involve the OSCE. UN Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali affirmed on 5 January that the UN is
likewise prepared to mediate in the Chechen dispute if
asked, according to AFP. Also on 5 January the Pakistan
Foreign Ministry denied charges made the previous day by
the Russian Foreign Ministry that Afghan refugees were
being sent from Pakistan to fight as mercenaries in
Chechnya, AFP reported. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
FSK KNOWS NAME OF KHOLODOV'S KILLER. The head
of the Federal Counter-Intelligence Service, Sergei
Stepashin, knows the identity of the man responsible for the
death in October 1994, of Moskovsky komsomolets
investigative journalist Dmitri Kholodov, who was killed by
an exploding briefcase, Izvestiya reported on 6 January.
Spokesmen for both the FSK and for Yeltsin's office denied
claims that Stepashin had sent a letter to Yeltsin a month
ago informing him of the circumstances of the murder and
the name of the perpetrator, whom Izvestiya identified as
serving in a paratroop regiment which was at that time
deployed in Sokolniki and has since been sent to Chechnya.
-- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
KOVALEV ARRIVES IN MOSCOW. Russian official
propaganda on the Chechen developments surpassed the
Bolsheviks "and even Dr. Goebbels," human rights envoy
Sergei Kovalev told RFE/RL at a Moscow airport on arrival
from Grozny via Nazran on 5 January. According to
Kovalev, Russian officials have so far failed to say "a word of
truth" about the developments in Grozny. Kovalev believes
that Yeltsin was misinformed by his hawkish friends and
bodyguards, albeit not to the same extent as the rest of the
nation, because, Kovalev explained, only a very stupid
person could believe the mendacious Russian officials. Later
that day, in the packed conference hall of Izvestiya,
Kovalev provided a detailed account of the sufferings of
Russian and Chechen civilians who fell victim to Russian air
raids. Kovalev opined that without the invasion, Chechnya
would have remained a part of the Russian Federation and
that the military action was counterproductive in the case of
Chechnya and would be so in other republics. Kovalev
added that, in his view, the Chechen developments would
also encourage the East Europeans to join NATO as soon as
they could. "I came with the intention to look in the eye
those officials responsible for the handling of Chechnya,"
Kovalev told the news conference as reported by Izvestiya.
The human rights champion is scheduled to meet with
Yeltsin on 6 January. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
RUBLE CONTINUES TO PLUMMET. On Moscow Interbank the Central
Bank closed the trading session at 3,623 rubles to $1.
GAP IN WEALTH INCREASES. The State Statistics
Committee reports that those Russians with the highest
incomes have 15 times as much as the lowest. In a 5 January
report in Vechernyaya Moskva, statistics indicated that in
1993 the ratio was 11:1 and in 1991 it was 4.5:1. In January
through November 1994, 10% of the population received
30% of the total income, while the poorest 10% received
only 1.9%. About 65% of the population had incomes below
the average level. By the end of 1994, average salaries and
wages were just over the equivalent of $100 a month. --

POLAND TO COMMEMORATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
AUSCHWITZ LIBERATION. President Lech Walesa's aide
Andrzej Zakrzewski on 5 January said survivors of Auschwitz,
Nobel Peace Prize winners, and representatives of 26 states
will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death camp's
liberation at the end of the month, Reuters reports.
...a series of ceremonies will take place at
Auschwitz, including a period of silence at the camp gates,
speeches, wreath-laying, and finally the lighting of candles
on the platform where many of the 1.5 million people killed
at the camp arrived by train from all over Europe. Among
the heads of states who have said they will attend are the
presidents of Austria, Belarus, Croatia, Latvia and Slovenia.
Germany will be represented by President Roman Herzog,
Israel by the speaker of its parliament, and Russia by either
President Boris Yeltsin or Premier Viktor Chernomyrdin.
Invitations have been sent to 92 Jewish groups and attempts
are being made to reach all Auschwitz survivors to invite
them, Zakrzewski said. -- Jan Cleave, OMRI, Inc.
UKRAINE ENCOURAGES JEWISH REVIVAL, RABBI
SAYS. While nearly 70,000 Jews have emigrated from
Ukraine in the last five years, over half a million remain,
many playing an active role in the revival of Judaism since
Ukraine declared its independence in 1991, Kiev-based
Orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Bleich says in an article in The
New York Times on 6 January. The New York-born rabbi
has during the past five years presided over a renewal of
Jewish life in Ukraine, including the opening of 12 Jewish
schools and 38 synagogues. Although openly anti-Semitic
slogans can be heard from groups such as the
ultranationalist UNA-UNSO, both the Ukrainian government
and the religious establishment have gone out of their way
to stress reconciliation with Jews, the 30-year-old rabbi said.

Although the volume of mail prevents the President from
personally reviewing each message, all e-mail is read by White House
staff. Your concerns, ideas, and suggestions are carefully
recorded and communicated to the President weekly with a
representative sampling of the mail. We are currently working
toward responding to messages electronically.
Whitehouse.gov was established to allow you to send
electronic correspondence to the President and Vice President.
The only personal addresses at whitehouse.gov are the following:
President@whitehouse.gov
and Vice.President@whitehouse.gov
We would like to announce another first for the White House.
On October 20, 1994, President Clinton and Vice President Gore
acted to improve the accessibility of government information by
opening a service called "Welcome to the White House: An
Interactive Citizens' Handbook" on the Internet. This new World
Wide Web service provides a single point of access to all
electronic government information on the Internet. By using a
free Web-browsing software such as Mosaic or Cello, the user can
access a multimedia interface to information from the White House
and the Executive Branch of government, including White House
documents, a virtual tour of the White House, and detailed
information about Cabinet-level and independent agencies. This
interface will include photographs, audio, and "hotlinks" to other
government Web sites and services. Check with your service
provider for instruction in accessing the Web. "Welcome to the
White House" can be accessed at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov
Though the new Web server provides access to White House
documents and publications, we will continue to provide these by
email. To receive instructions, please send a message to the
following address (**do not "reply" to the memo you are now
reading**):
publications@whitehouse.gov
In the body of your message, type "Send Info" (without quotes); no
other text should be included (including message headers or
signature lines (.sig files)). The instructions will be sent to
you automatically.
Also, we now have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document
available at the following address. The FAQ, among other things,
lists other sources of government information, i.e., the
Congressional email projects. (The FAQ file is approximately 35K
in size; check with your service provider to ensure that you can
receive files of this size.) This FAQ address is an autoresponder
only; any comment sent to this address will not be acknowledged.
Send an email message (no text necessary) to:
faq@whitehouse.gov
All of us at the White House are excited about the progress
that has been made with this historic project, and we look
forward to future developments. Your continued interest and
participation are very important to us.

Hi, folks!
Dnem v pjatnicu pri artpodderzhke poka nevidannogo masshtaba russkie

(okolo 20 chasov) pri uchastii okolo 300 tankov i bronemashin (eto
bol'she, chem v novogodnjuju noch') v boj byli vvedeny morskie
pehotincy. K segodnjashnemu utru reshajuschih uspehov ne dostignuto.
Obraschaet vnimanie izmenenie taktiki: ispol'zovanie horosho

Dear folks,
This is to follow up my posting of January 4'95, in which I proposed
to send our group letter regarding the criminal war of Russia against
Chechnya to Mr. President and Mr. Vice-President of the United States.
I was expecting about 100 signatures before getting the letter out on
January 10, noon. At this point we have already about 140+ signatures
and still counting. My very great thanks to all of you who replied to
my posting, and especially to those who agreed to join the letter and
also provided some valuable improvements, corrections, and information.
I want to update you on the situation with the letter.
(i) On the urging of some of you, I realized that it would be a good
idea to send a copy of the letter also to the prominent members of
Senate and House (especially to those of a new majority). When I saw
that the "signatures" are coming in good numbers, I made a few
telephone calls that led me to the right offices. In particular, I
believe now that one of the most responsive and relevant is the
Commission on Security & Cooperation in Europe , with some of the most
influential Senators being members of that Commission. On the Friday
afternoon, I spoke with the staff of that Commission on the phone, and
they were very encouraging essentially telling me that they are very
interested in the letters like that especially coming from Russian
community. They promised me to pass it immediately on to the Senators
involved. I'll be reaching offices of those and other Senators on
Monday. I want also send copies of our letter to the new Senate Majority
Leader Senator Robert Dole and the new House Speaker Congressman Newton
Gingrich. So, this group letter of ours may have a real good chance to be
read by the influantial people interested in the issue.
This may also hopefully help those of you who are still thinking of
whether your voice will be heard at all, to make your decision
regarding joining our letter. I am still collecting the "sigantures".
(ii) For the people who have already joined the letter.
I am planning to send an updated draft (the second draft, slightly
updated following some suggestions from you, see below) with all the
SIGNATURES I'll have at the moment, to you on MONDAY evening. If you
see any error in your name/address or if you see how the text can be
corrected or further improved (without any SUBSTANTIAL revisions) or if
you changed your mind about signing it at all, please reply IMMEDIATELY.
If you have already sent me your agreement to sign the letter, but have
NOT received the updated draft of it with all the signatures before the
LATE NIGHT on Monday, please send me your msg too!!! (it may just happen
that in ERROR, your e-mail address and signature were missed).
(Folks, if you have no corrections or other serious reasons to reply,
please refrain from replying; sorry, I am overloaded with all this
project.)
(iii) For the benefits of those of you who are still thinking of joining
us, here is an updated draft of that letter:
SECOND (UPDATED) DRAFT OF INFO-RUSS GROUP LETTER (January 8'95)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. President and Mr. Vice-President:
Dear Senators and Congressmen:
We want to express our grave concerns over the war by Russia against
the break-away republic of Chechnya and the position of the United
States in what is happening. The war waged by the Russian government
and its military largely against the civilian population is a violation
of human rights on a grand scale, bordering on genocide. The losses
among the population are tremendous; hundreds of thousands of people,
including women and children, have became refugees. There is no
justification whatsoever for the Russian government to methodically
murder civilians.
To maintain that what is happening is the internal matter of the
Russian government, is to greatly encourage its criminal behavior. The
United States Government must use all its clout to stop the war. A
possible way to do that is to make it known to the Russian government
that all financial aid, all agreements advancing Russia's interests,
will be suspended or canceled altogether if the war continues.
We are asking you to use all the means available to you, to influence
the Russian government to terminate the war; we are also asking you to
promote a peaceful settlement of the conflict through appropriate
international bodies.
Sincerely yours,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, folks!
Kak i vchera, russkie vojska "uspeshno prodvigajutsja, no poka ne zanjali
dvorec". Boevye poteri opredeljajutsja kak 20/50 (ubitye/ranenye) v
den'. Eto - po armii, bez MVD. Plennye desantniki perevedeny v
Groznyj, a ul'timatum - esli plennye ne budut osvobozhdeny, blizhajshee
selo budet razbombleno - prodlen do 12 chasov vtornika. Nazyvaetsja
selo Alhazurovo, v nem (vmeste s bezhencami) - bolee 10 tysjach
zhitelej.
S.Kovalev v Nazrani, otkuda popytalsja dogovorit'sja s Chernomyrdinym o
peremirii na 48 chasov. Ch vrode by s entuziazmom soglasilsja, kak
budto preodolel "slaboe soprotivlenie voennyh" i poruchil S.A.
dogovorit'sja o detaljah. Pochti navernjaka vse eto obernetsja obmanom -
Kremlju ne privykat', no utro pokazhet.
Rasskazyvaju ob interv'ju, kotorye daval S.Kovalev. Naibolee podrobnoe
- 50 minut - s radiozhurnalistami "Svobody", "Golosa Ameriki" i "Eha
Moskvy". On podrobno rasskazyval o zhizni v Groznom, o sil'nom
vpechatlenii, kotoroe proizvel na nego uroven' entuziazma chechenskih
bojcov, podtverdil, chto podavljajuschee bol'shinstvo ih - mestnye zhiteli
(a ne "naemniki"). Pri ostorozhno-kriticheskom otzyve o nekotoryh
aspektah chechenskoj real'nosti (propagande, naprimer, kotoruju on
nazval "ves'ma tendencioznoj, naivnoj, chasto romanticheskoj,
nesravnimo menee zlokachestvennoj, chem rossijskoj") bylo ochevidno,
chto "kriminal'noe soobschestvo" Groznogo proizvelo na nego chisto po
chelovecheski nesravnenno luchshee vpechatlenie, chem lager' "konstitucii
i zakona".
Mnogo govoril o vsreche s E. Vseh interesovalo, zdorov li tot i ne
p'jan li. S.A. podtverdil - zdorov, ne p'jan i ochen' razdrazhen. Po
mneniju K, E polnost'ju otdaet sebe otchet v proishodjaschem i vpolne
soznatelen; situaciju vpolne kontroliruet.
Kovalev soglasilsja, chto E poshel po puti zverstva i prestuplenij, no
ostorozhno distancirovalsja ot nekotoryh svoih tovarischej (Zolotuhina,
naprimer) kotorye v znak protesta vyhodjat iz prezidentskih struktur
ili prizyvajut k impichmentu. Ob'jasnenie bylo otchasti strannym:
"Vo-pervyh, Zjuganov huzhe, vo-vtoryh, pod moim nachalom rabotajut
horoshie ljudi, ja ne mogu ih brosit'". Solidarizirovalsja s Gajdarom
("podozhdat' do 96 goda"). Kak budto kto-to prizyvaet nemedlenno
vruchit' Zjuganovu ili Zh absoljutnuju vlast' E - vmesto togo, chtoby
ubrat' samu etu opasnuju dolzhnost' "edinonachal'nika vseja Rusi". Na
vopros "kogda E vstal na put' krovi i ubijstv, privedshij ego k
Chechne?" po sobstvennoj iniciative zatejal ob'jasnenie svoej pozicii po
povodu gosperevorota 1993 goda. On ee nereshitel'no i putano
opravdyval, zaschischal i E, no zatem povtoril, chto "da, on vstal na
etot put' uzhe togda". V obschem, u nas est' geroi, no net kompetentnyh
politikov-demokratov.
Interv'ju programme NTV "Itogi" (zapisannoe 7 janvarja) bylo blednee,
no ne mogu uderzhat'sja, chtoby ne pereskazat' odin ego rasskaz. On
poznakomilsja v Groznom s dobrovol'cem - ukraincev, drugom i byvshim
doverennym licom deputata SSSR Sergeja Chervonopisskogo (majora,
afganskogo veterana-invalida, iniciatora obstrukcii A.D.Saharova na
1 s'ezde narodnyh deputatov SSSR; on okonchil rech' istericheskim
krikom "Derzhava, Rodina, Kommunizm!" i zal vstal v poslednem v
istorii Sovetskoj Rossii poryve massovogo psihoza). Ukrainec, znaja,
chto K byl drugom Saharova, prosil proschenija, a na vopros, chto privelo
ego v Groznyj srazhat'sja na storone "musul'man", rasskazal: "Ja poshel
k Serege, i on mne skazal - konechno, poezzhaj, esli by u menja hotja by
odna noga byla, ja by poehal tozhe".
Do zavtra!

Dear folks-"podpisants" (signatories that is:-) -- or is it signees?:-)
If you received this msg (27 kb!!), your signature is under that
letter to Mr. President (and whoever else is there in Washington, DC:-)
regarding the criminal war by Russian government against Chechnya.
(Don't pay attention on the "INFO-RUSS" heading lines: I am just using
INFO-RUSS mailer with the list of your addresses, and this msg is not
broadcasted to the entire info-russ list.)
We have now 218 signatures!!!! (as of 10 pm, Jan. 9'95).
The inflow of msgs overhelmed me; frankly, I was (pleasantly)
surprised. But it also costed me dearly; last night I've slept
only three hours. Next time, folks, it will be somebody's else
turn to collect the signatures:-).
OK, below you find that letter, somewhat polished and corrected, but
with NO major changes compared with the original draft (the main change
is the sentence in the very end of the letter
"We are also asking you to promote a peaceful settlement of the conflict
through appropriate international bodies."
against which I hope there would be no objection).
My most profound and warm thanks to all of you, folks, for joining
this little "scream in wilderness":-). Yes, the chance that our voice
will influence the policy of the US government is slim; but when you
walk, the planet turns around under you, you know... (just a bit,
yet...:-). And, in the end of the day, no lesser thing is a piece with
yourself... Thanks also to those of you who sent in your critical
comments, corrections, etc. I am still open for corrections in English
(but no conceptual changes or additions, please; too many of us
have already approved the text...)
Hopefully, I'll be able to prepare all the stuff tomorrow morning and
get it out by e-mail and faxes -- do you know it is 22 pages long?
As to the war itself -- gosh, I even don't want to think of what is
coming next. A feeling as if you see a horrible dream and cannot wake
up...
One more thing: I frankly don't know where to put my own signature.
Temporarily, I've put it on the top of heap (well, this way I sort of
take a bit greater responsibility if anything goes wrong); but than
again it doesn't look very modest:-). If you have a strong feeling that
this should be changed, please let me know.
My best ,
Alex (Sasha) Kaplan

Secreatry of State
Dear Mr. President and Mr. Vice-President:
Dear Senators and Congressmen:
We want to express our grave concerns over the war by Russia against
the break-away republic of Chechnya and the position of the United
States in what is happening. The war waged by the Russian government
and its military largely against the civilian population is a violation
of human rights on a grand scale, bordering on genocide. The losses
among the population are tremendous; hundreds of thousands of people,
including women and children, have become refugees. There is no
justification whatsoever for the Russian government to methodically
murder civilians.
To maintain that what is happening is the internal matter of the
Russian government, is to greatly encourage its criminal behavior. The
United States Government must use all its clout to stop the war --
possibly by warning the Russian government that all financial aid, all
agreements advancing Russia's interests, will be suspended or canceled
altogether if the war continues.
We are asking you to use all the means available to you to influence
the Russian government to terminate the war. We are also asking you to
promote a peaceful settlement of the conflict through appropriate
international bodies.
Sincerely yours,
Prof. Alexander E. Kaplan

Hi, folks!
Segodnja v 8 chasov nachalos' i poka sobljudaetsja 48-chasovoe peremirie.
Rossijskie vlasti sobljuli dekorum i predstavili ego ne kak
rezul'tat soglashenija s Dudaevym, dostignutogo cherez posrednika
(Kovaleva, drugih deputatov i vlasti Ingushetii), a kak
odnostoronnij akt. Zajavlenie pravitel'stva imeet mrachno-ugrozhajuschij
i provokacionnyj ton: "Prekraschenie ognja predostavleno dlja
uporjadochennoj sdachi boevikov, osvobozhdenija IMI plennyh i
neukosnitel'noe ego sobljudenie - poslednij dlja nih shans na spasenie
zhizni". "Prekraschenie ognja svidetel'stvuet o polnom i okonchatel'nom

Vernye g-nu E lidery parlamenta prakticheski polnost'ju
konsolidirovali kontrol' za vverennymi im palatami, delajut

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 7, 10 January 1995
--------------------------------------------------------
RUSSIA OFFERS 48-HOUR CEASE-FIRE IN CHECHNYA. In an
appeal carried by ITAR-TASS on 9 January and summarized by
Western agencies, the Russian government, "at the president's
instigation," offered Chechen forces a 48-hour cease-fire beginning
at 8 a.m. local time on 10 January and announced that Russian
forces will cease hostilities during the same period; it also repeated
the amnesty offer contained in Yeltsin's ultimatum of 13 December
to all Chechen fighters who lay down their arms. No formal
response has yet been made by the Chechen leadership. AFP
reported on 10 January that after a two-hour lull beginning at
approximately 8 a.m., Russian forces resumed shelling Grozny. The
cease-fire offer was predicted by Russian Television newscasts earlier in the
evening of 9 January on the basis of Russian Human Rights Commissioner Sergei
Kovalev's disclosure to Interfax that Russian Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin told him by telephone that he had reached an agreement with the
Russian military on a cease-fire. Interfax and Western agencies reported on 9
January that despite fierce resistance, Russian infantry reinforcements
advanced to within 200 meters of the presidential palace in central Grozny
and now controlled two-thirds of the city. -- Liz Fuller and Julia
Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC RESPONSES. In an interview
given to Liberation and quoted by The Washington Post on 10
January, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe again raised the
possibility of unspecified countermeasures by the international
community in response to the Russian military incursion and
human rights violations in Chechnya. NATO Secretary-General
Willy Claes also urged Russia to halt the fighting in Chechnya
"without delay." OSCE Executive Secretary Istvan Gyarmati, who
previously headed a CSCE mission to South Ossetia and is thus
familiar with the Caucasus, left for Moscow on 9 January for talks
with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Nikolai Afanasevsky on the
situation in Chechnya, AFP reported on 9 January, quoting MTI. --
Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
OMON UNIT IN CHECHNYA MUTINIES. Izvestiya on 9 January
carried an account of an OMON detachment from Ekaterinburg
which left Chechnya when its superiors would not provide it with
written orders. The 101-man unit had been called up on 2
December and was part of the column commanded by Maj.-Gen.
Viktor Vorobev that advanced on Grozny several days later. Its main
mission seemed to have been to keep an eye on the inexperienced
paratroopers in a neighboring unit. One OMON officer described
the airborne soldiers as "boys who were totally unprepared for
combat operations." The OMON unit's tour of duty was to end on 2
January but was extended to 26 January. The officers were told that
their mission was "to safeguard public order" in a war involving
tanks and artillery, but they were equipped with only small arms and
crowd-control agents. Virtually the entire unit returned to
Ekaterinburg when Moscow refused to provide it with written orders
to use its weapons or with the cards authorizing it to carry weapons
in a state of emergency. -- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
WHO ARMED DUDAEV? Top Russian officials have been accusing
each other of providing Dudaev with the ammunition used by
Chechen fighters against Russian forces. The controversy reached a
peak on 8 January in an interview on "Vesti" with the last Soviet
defense minister, Evgenii Shaposhnikov, who displayed a document
signed in 1992 by Russian Defense Minister Pavel Grachev stating
that the weaponry of the Red Army division stationed in Chechnya
before it declared itself independent should be divided between the
Russian and Chechen armies on a 50-50 basis. On 9 January, Russian
Deputy Defense Minister Boris Gromov confirmed Shaposhnikov's
revelation in an interview with Ostankino Television news "Vremya."
Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Shakhrai, for his part, told Russian
Television on 7 January that Shaposhnikov and his deputies--
Gromov and Grachev--had agreed to turn over to Dudaev Soviet
Army heavy artillery and aircraft that "today are firing at Russian
soldiers." Shaposhnikov and Gromov responded by saying that in
1992, Grachev was acting in his capacity as head of the Russian
Defense Committee, rather than as Shaposhnikov's deputy, as
Shakhrai claimed. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
SOLDIERS' MOTHERS PICKETING GENERAL STAFF. The
mothers of Russian conscripts serving in Chechnya rallied on 9
January in front of the Russian General Staff headquarters in
Moscow. "Vesti" showed footage of crying women displaying
placards and demanding that the military be put under public
control. One of the mothers told "Vesti" that the army has not
informed parents about the whereabouts of their sons. The parents
demanded that the Security Council, which is widely regarded as
responsible for the decision to invade Chechnya, be dissolved, and
that Defense Minister Grachev resign and be replaced with a
civilian. The demonstrators resolved to picket the General Staff
every day. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.

Hi, folks!
Peremirie okazalos' strannym. Citiruju Sergeja Jushenkova (partija DVR,

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 8, 11 January 1995
---------------------------------------------------------------
STREET BATTLES IN GROZNY CONTINUE. ITAR-TASS on 10
January reported that small groups of Chechen militants in Grozny
continued their resistance despite Russian troops' efforts to inform
them of the Russian government's ceasefire offer the previous day.
AFP on 11 January reports a lull in the fighting after continuous
artillery fire throughout the night. Outside Grozny, Russian Interior
Ministry troops were reported to be combing villages to neutralize
illegal armed formations, according to ITAR-TASS. The same news
agency cited an unconfirmed report that former Russian parliament
speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov, who abandoned his widely publicized
mediation mission in Chechnya after the Russian invasion on 11
December, returned to Chechnya on 7 January. In an interview with
Interfax on 10 January, Russian Security Council Secretary Oleg
Lobov asserted that Russia is determined to crush the Chechen
resistance once the 48-hour ceasefire has expired. He rejected
charges that Russia had suffered "a defeat" in Chechnya or that the
hostilities constituted "a Russian-Chechen war." In Moscow, Prime
Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin held talks on Chechnya with Russian
President Boris Yeltsin and representatives of the Chechen
diaspora, whose input he solicited in stopping hostilities and
beginning talks on a peaceful solution to the conflict. A Chechen
representative subsequently told Interfax that Moscow-based
Chechens advocated a face-to-face meeting between Yeltsin and
Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudaev. While expressing respect for
Salambek Khadzhiev, head of the Moscow-appointed Chechen
"government of national revival," he argued that the next Chechen
government should be elected by the Chechen people. -- Liz Fuller,
OMRI, Inc.
CHECHNYA "NO LONGER JUST A RUSSIAN ISSUE." In talks with
OSCE Executive Secretary Istvan Gyarmati in Moscow on 10 January,
Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev conceded that the
Chechen conflict can no longer be considered a strictly Russian
issue, AFP reported on 10 January. Gyarmati told journalists that
Kozyrev also admitted that human rights violations had taken place
but contended that Russia had been constrained by the degree of
Chechen resistance to use greater force than originally intended.
Gyarmati reaffirmed the OSCE's view that any settlement to the
conflict must be based on the principle of Russia's territorial
integrity. He said he would propose to a meeting of the OSCE's
permanent council in Vienna on 12 January that it send a
delegation to Chechnya to gather materials on human rights
violations there. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov told
Interfax on 10 January that there was "no question" of OSCE
involvement in resolving the Chechen conflict and that Moscow is
prepared to cooperate with the OSCE only in protecting human
rights in Chechnya. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
AUSHEV CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS BY RUSSIAN TROOPS IN INGUSHETIA. Ingush
President Ruslan Aushev has sent a telegram to Federation Council
Chairman Vladimir Shumeiko calling for the immediate dispatch to
Ingushetia of observers to assess human rights violations by Russian
army and Interior Ministry troops, Interfax reported on 9 January.
Ekho Moskvy reported the same day that a Russian combat
helicopter on 7 January shot a 12-year-old Ingush shepherd boy in a
village 10 km from the Ingush capital, Nazran. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI,
Inc.
OMON MUTINY DENIED. Interior Ministry officials in both
Moscow and Ekaterinburg denied an Izvestiya story describing the
mutiny of an OMON unit from Ekaterinburg serving in Chechnya.
As quoted by Interfax on 10 January, an Interior Ministry spokesman
in Moscow called the story "tendentious" and said the men had
been replaced "on a routine basis" because they were "tired." The
head of the OMON troops in Ekaterinburg said the group had been
replaced "according to schedule" by another contingent from the
city. The commander of the unit in question was quoted as saying
that 80% of his men had caught colds in Chechnya due to a
shortage of warm clothing and poor living conditions. This was why
they had turned down a "proposal" to stay on in Chechnya, he
noted. -- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.

Dear folks-"podpisants",
If you got this msg on your screen, your signature is under
the letter to Mr. President, etc., regarding the war in
Chechnya.
And you are one of 230+ signees.
The text was left as in the third draft (with minor grammar
corrections). As I've promised you, I've got the letter out to
White House (i. e. to both Mr. President and Mr. Vice President)
and to the House Speaker on Tuesday, January 10'95, before midnight
(only these three appear to have their e-mail addresses). All the
day today we have been trying to get the letter (25 pages) by FAX
to the rest of the people on the list -- and got them ALL out except
one (to the Senate Majority Leader), which we'll hopefully be able
to send out tomorrow (the problem: all these fax numbers are
hopelessly busy).
OK, except for a possible addendum (i. e. if I get enough
post-deadline signatures), that little effort of ours
is over. My thanks to all of you -- you made it possible.
No war will stop just because we signed that letter, everybody
knows that. Yet if not you, then who? And yes, I do believe it
can make a difference. Somebody up there (aside from Mr.
President's staff and KGB:-) got to keep count, right?:-).
V sinem nebe,

Dear folks,
You (some of you at least:-) might be interested to know that that
little project of ours -- a letter to Mr. President of the United
States in which we asked him to use all the means available to him
to influence the Russian government to stop the war in Chechnya --
has been completed as planned: we've got 230+ signatures under that
letter (more than twice of what I expected), and it has already
been sent out to all the addressees.
While most of the signees belong to the US academic and high-tech
community, among them (us) are people from all walks of life and
from all the countries and continents (including Antarctica!).
Although most of people who signed it are US citizens (or citizens
of other Western countries), there are many citizens of Russia on
the list, and quite a few of them currently reside in Russia. One of
them is a 15 year old boy, who collected 60 signatures in Moscow for
the letter against the war, which was sent to the Russian government.
Those of you who signed the letter have already received a msg from
me. The rest of you will have to wait for the next chance (oh, sure,
with Russia, the chances are plenty!) to realize which way it all
goes. Kak vsyo eto znakomo, znakomo eto nam, pishite nam, pishite po

Kim was in the end singing "po novym adresam" -- and probably remember
why...) But, anyway, it will be your headache then... (gosh, I've got
enough of them this time around:-).
Now, I want to apologize to all of you: most likely I'll be away from
the campus for a couple days, without access to the internet, and
therefore no news will be broadcasted. Sorry for that.

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 9, 12 January 1995
--------------------------------------------------------
KOVALEV SAYS "CHECHNYA TRUCE FAILED." Interfax on 11
January quoted the Russian government's press service as
reporting that the situation in Grozny remained tense, with
fighting for control of the presidential palace continuing
and small groups of pro-Dudaev forces still subjecting
Russian troops to sniper fire. AFP reported on 12 January
that Russian artillery bombardment of central Grozny
resumed at 8 a.m. local time on expiry of the 48-hour
cease-fire. Russian Human Rights Commissioner Sergei
Kovalev expressed regret to Interfax that the truce had
failed and laid the blame on leading generals, who, he
claimed, were opposed to talks "because they do not want
anyone to count the number of dead bodies." At a press
conference in Moscow on 11 January, State Duma deputy
Aivars Lezdynsh, who returned from Grozny the previous day,
similarly told Interfax that the number of Russian
servicemen killed had been considerably understated and
that "the generals continue the bloodshed for the sole
reason that they have to cover up the traces of their
crimes." Also on 11 January, Chechen President Dzhokhar
Dudaev surfaced to hold a press conference in Grozny and
affirmed that the ongoing conflict could be resolved "in
one day, in one hour" by means of government-level
negotiations, Reuters and Knight-Ridder Newspapers report
on 12 January. A close associate of Dudaev told Reuters in
The Hague on 11 January that Chechnya would consider
retracting its demand for full independence and agree to
"an economic, monetary and security confederation" with
Russia. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
INTERNATIONAL REACTION. Austrian Foreign Minister Alois
Mock said on 11 January that although Austria recognized
that Chechnya was an integral part of Russia, it is ready
to support economic sanctions against Moscow in retaliation
for human rights violations in Chechnya, AFP reported. In
Paris, the president of Socialist International, former
French Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy, condemned Russia's use
of force in Chechnya and affirmed support for the Hungarian
proposal to send an OSCE delegation to assess the human
rights situation there. The Turkish parliament issued a
statement on 11 January condemning "atrocities" in Chechnya
and calling on other parliaments to "contribute to a just,
durable, and honorable solution based on respect for human
rights." It also requested that the OSCE and the UN
expedite a cease-fire. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
DUMA FAILS TO ADOPT RESOLUTION ON CHECHEN CRISIS.
At its extraordinary session on 11 January, the State Duma
postponed adopting a resolution on the Chechen crisis until
its next session. The liberal faction Russia's Choice, led
by former acting Prime Minister Egor Gaidar, had called the
session in order to submit a bill banning the use of the
military inside Russia, which failed to gain the necessary
majority vote. Three democratic factions--Russia's Choice,
Grigorii Yavlinsky's Yabloko, and the Democratic Party of
Russia, currently chaired by Sergei Glazev, the opposition
spokesman on economic affairs--opposed the war, along with
the Communists. The Agrarian Party, the former ally of the
Communists, joined the ultranationalist factions--Vladimir
Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democratic Party and Sergei Baburin's
Russian Path--in supporting the use of force against
Chechnya, as did two progovernment factions, Sergei
Shakhrai's Party of Russian Unity and Concord and Vladimir
Medvedev's New National Policy group. Former Finance
Minister Boris Fedorov, who has supported in principle the
use of force against Chechnya, said he was disappointed by
the way it had been implemented. He demanded a vote of no
confidence in the government. Among Yeltsin's new allies
was Aleksandr Nevzorov, the hard-line TV director, whose
show "600 Seconds" was banned by a Yeltsin decree in

Status: O
Hi, folks!
S istecheniem sroka ul'timatuma - segodnja v 8 utra - intensivnost'
artognja v centre goroda rezko vozrosla. Po doroge s zapada
dvizhutsja sotni tankov, bronemashin i gruzovikov s soldatami.
Uvelichivaetsja dolja vojsk MVD. Na zavtra obschestvennye organizacii
Ingushetii zaplanirovali massovoe piketirovanie dorog. Sergej
Kovalev, sejchas nahodjaschijsja v Nazrani, vyskazal opasenie, chto ono
budet soprovozhdat'sja bol'shimi zhertvami sredi mirnogo naselenija.
Noch'ju so vchera na segodnja on predstavil zhurnalistam svoj plan
poetapnogo prekraschenija ognja i razvedenija vojsk, no tut zhe
pessimistichno otozvalsja o ego perspektivah. "Posle togo kak
voennye zamenili plan peremirija, soglasovannyj s Chernomyrdinym i
El'cinym, na svoj hamskij ul'timatum, ja lishnij raz ubedilsja, v
ch'ih rukah kontrol' za situaciej," - skazal on. Kovalev takzhe
oproverg soobschenie oficioznogo televidenija o nadrugatel'stve
chechencev nad trupami russkih soldat. Posle soobschenija fakticheskih
nabljudenij ("ja nahodilsja vo dvorce i nikakih trupov, poveshennyh v
okonnyh proemah, ne videl") on dobavil "eti negodjai, napolnivshie
stranu lozh'ju, sposobny i na prjamye fal'sifikacii".
Kstati, TV "Ostankino" (1 kanal) pokazalo ocherednoj shedevr
A.Nevzorova pod nazvaniem "Ad". V etoj dovol'no bespomoschnoj
podelke (postanovochnye s'emki v russkoj chasti, beskonechnye
razgovory s desantnym generalom, effekty v vide iskusstvennoj
rasplyvchatosti izobrazhenija) mnogo raz povtorjalos' opredelenie
geroev etogo fil'ma "golodnye volki vojny" i "vozrozhdenie Rossii
nachnetsja tol'ko tak - s ljudej, sdelavshih vojnu i krov' svoej
professiej". Zanjatno, chto dali zakaz i prodvigali eto tvorenie
umerennye i liberaly Filatov, Shahraj i Satarov (direktor
"Ostankina" A.Jakovlev - tozhe liberal i kumir bol'shoj chasti
intelligencii). Professor Satarov Nevzorovu ponravilsja, hotja i
govoril emu "Sasha, bez etih Vashih perehlestov, pozhalujsta!"
Nevzorovu ne privykat' k intelligentskoj ljubvi: predyduschie ego
podvigi (v Litve) blagoslovil togda esche zhivoj Lev Nikolaevich
Gumilev, kotoryj sozhalel, chto star i ruka ne derzhit avtomat.
Vsju nedelju diskutirovalis' pravovye aspekty dejstvij Kremlja.
Pomimo rasplyvchatogo "narushenija prav cheloveka", kak vy znaete,
rjad zapadnyh pravitel'stv ukazal na narushenie flangovyh
ogranichenij i uslovija opoveschat' partnerov o krupnoj perebroske
vojsk. V Rossii eto bylo dopolneno analizom rjada vidnyh juristov
(iz nih samyj izvestnyj - Konstitucionnyj sud'ja Luchin,
kommunist). Oni ukazali, chto Rossija narushaet takzhe zhenevskie
konvencii o pravah naselenija v rajone voennyh dejstvij, protokol
(ratificirovannyj SSSR v 1989 godu) o pravovyh uslovijah vedenija
boevyh dejstvij nemezhdunarodnogo haraktera i vnutrennee
zakonodatel'stvo. Poslednij aspekt osobenno vazhen: soznatel'noe
otstuplenie vlastej ot ustanovlennoj procedury vvedenija voennogo
ili chrezvychajnogo polozhenija (voennoe polozhenie, vprochem, vvoditsja
tol'ko pri inostrannoj agressii) lishaet vse prikazy, ukazy i
rasporjazhenija vseh vlastej (ot komandirov na pole boja do voenkomov
v tylu) pravovoj bazy. I esli ssylat'sja na eto v Chechne i
Ingushetii budet oprometchivo (Nevzorov: "Udar prikladom v zuby -
vot nash otvet vsem etim deputatam i zhurnalistam"), to v tylu vse
poka ne tak beznadezhno. Rjad obschestvennyh organizacij poveli
agitaciju za otkaz voennosluzhaschih ot peremeschenija v zonu konflikta
i prizyvnikov ot prizyva na zakonnom osnovanii. Eta kampanija
uvenchalas' segodnja reshajuschim shagom: prezident respubliki Chuvashija
Nikolaj Fedorov (byvshij ministr justicii RF) izdal ukaz,
konstatirovavshij pravo zhitelej Chuvashii na osnovanii zakonov RF
otkazyvat'sja ot voennoj sluzhby v Chechne, poka tam idut nezakonnye
boevye dejstvija, i dal konkretnye poruchenija organam
ispolnitel'noj vlasti respubliki. Pered vlastjami dva puti (ne
schitaja vozmozhnosti smirit'sja): davit' bez zakona i davit' po
zakonu. V poslednem sluchae my vse, a osobenno nyneshnie i
potencial'nye otkazchiki, posmotrim, chto im udastsja pridumat'.
(Kstati, primenenie armii, a ne vojsk MVD, ne predusmotreno
dazhe i po zakonu o chrezvychajnom polozhenii i opiraetsja na
NEOPUBLIKOVANNYJ ukaz E, to est', po konstitucii, ne imejuschij
obschepravovoj sily. Ono protivorechit dazhe dejstvujuschemu Ustavu
vnutrennej sluzhby!)
Tol'ko chto pravitel'stvennaja press-sluzhba oficial'no ob'javila,
chto v blizhajshee vremja nachnetsja "reshajuschij shturm goroda". Vojkam
MVD prikazano podtjanut'sja blizhe. G-n Grachev zajavil, chto
"chechenskaja vojna mozhet protjanut'sja mnogo let" (a ne 2 chasa, kak
on schital ranee).
Dvazhdy za sutki naselennye punkty v Ingushetii i Dagestane
nazyvalis' v soobschenii pravitel'stvennyh specsluzhb kak "centry
sosredotochenija boevikov". Eto izvestie vyzvalo v etih poselkah
paniku. Vice-prezident Ingushetii Boris Agapov: "Eto popytki
opredelennyh sil v Moskve vyvesti konflikt za granicy Chechni". On
zhe skazal, chto bessilie oficial'nyh vlastej Severnogo Kavkaza
dobit'sja ot Kremlja prekraschenija krovoprolitija sulit prihod k
vlasti v regione sovsem drugih, bolee ekstremistskih sil.

OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 10, 13 January 1995
---------------------------------------------------------------
NEW ASSAULT ON GROZNY IMMINENT? Russian troops
intensified their artillery bombardment of Grozny on 12
January amid predictions of a "final assault" on the city
in the next few days, according to AFP. ITAR-TASS
reported the dispatch to Chechnya of several hundred
naval reinforcements, including marines, while Interfax
said a large convoy of armored vehicles set out on 11
January from Vladikavkaz toward the Chechen frontier.
Both Chechen and Russian military spokesmen suggested
that Chechen forces might pull out of Grozny and regroup
in the south of the republic to continue resistance
against the Russians. In an interview with Krasnaya
zvezda on 12 January, Russian Defense Minister Pavel
Grachev warned that the war in Chechnya "will last for
years." Meanwhile, the higher echelons of the Defense
Ministry "swamped the Kremlin switchboard" with calls
protesting the 11 January proposal that President Boris
Yeltsin assume direct control of the military, according
to AFP quoting Yeltsin's adviser for national security
issues, Yurii Baturin. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
RUSSIA REJECTS WESTERN CRITICISM OF CHECHEN
POLICY. Speaking at a press conference in Moscow on 12
January, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigorii
Karasin rejected as "inadequate and hasty" calls by
Western political leaders for freezing economic and
political cooperation with Russia in response to its
handling of the Chechen crisis, Interfax and AFP report.
While conceding the importance of the human rights aspect
of the conflict, Karasin argued that "the scale of the
challenge that Russia faced in Chechnya made human
tragedies and losses practically inevitable." He hinted
that Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev would brief
US Secretary of State Warren Christopher on the Chechen
situation at their meeting in Geneva on 17-18 January. In
Vienna, a meeting of the OSCE Standing Committee on 12
January announced Russia has agreed to cooperate with an
OSCE mission that will travel to Chechnya to assess human
rights situation there, according to AFP. Also on 12
January, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, the current
EU president, announced in Brussels that the union will
lodge a new diplomatic protest with the Russian
leadership. He noted that "Russia's promises to seek a
negotiated solution have so far been without result." In
Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati
reiterated Iran's readiness to mediate in Chechnya. --
Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
FEDERATION COUNCIL COMPLETES FIRST STAGE OF
HEARINGS ON CHECHNYA Deputy Chairman of the
Federation Council Pavel Shtein said deputies regard
Dzhokhar Dudaev and his regime as "criminal," Interfax
reported 12 January. But he added that "Federation
Council members were split on assessing actions of the
federal authorities in eliminating Dudaev's regime."
Shtein said the council will continue its hearings at a
later date. -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
CHECHEN CRISIS FANS CONFEDERATIVE AMBITIONS. The
Chechen crisis threatens to increase the desire of
Russia's regional leaders to loosen ties with the center,
Leonid Smirnyagin, a member of Yeltsin's Council of
Advisers told Interfax on 11 January. He expected the
regions to increase their demands for greater control
over ethnic issues, pointing to their growing criticism
of the federal authorities' failure to consult them about
the handling of the Chechen crisis. Smirnyagin said such
demands were groundless since the upper house of the
parliament represents the interests of the regions.
Meanwhile, Interfax reports that Yeltsin met with the
heads of the Moscow, Kostroma, Rostov, Chita, and
Stavropol regions on 12 January. According to the
president's press service, the regional leaders were
worried about legislation on the regions' status
currently being debated by the Duma. They said the
proposed law failed to guarantee the constitutional
principle of power-sharing and ensure political
stability. The regional leaders pushed for new
legislation that would give Moscow and the regions equal
standing. -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
SOARING COSTS OF CHECHEN WAR. Russian TV newscasts
on 12 January quoted Yelstin adviser Aleksandr Livshits
as saying the month-long Chechen war has cost Russia 800
billion rubles ($220 million). He estimated that
rebuilding the Chechen economy would cost 4-5 trillion
rubles, "perhaps more but not much more," Ostankino's
"Vremya" newscast reported him as saying. Col. Gen.
Vasilii Vorobev, who heads the General Staff's budget and
finance department, told Interfax on 12 January that the
military operations in Chechnya have cost the Defense
Ministry 550 billion rubles to date. He said that each
day's operations added another 12-14 billion rubles to
the bill and that one shot from the 125-mm gun of a T-72
tanks cost 1.7 million rubles. Vorobev also said the
Defense Ministry has made no large purchases of equipment
or ammunition because of the recent events. -- Julia
Wishnevsky and Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
CONFLICTING CASUALTY FIGURES. According to ITAR-TASS
on 12 January, the Federation Council was told that 394
Defense and Interior Ministry personnel have been killed
and 1,000 wounded in Chechnya since fighting broke out.
Taken in conjunction with official figures released on 6
January, these data mean that 35% of the losses took
place in the five-day period from 7-11 January. But the
government tallies have been disputed. Interfax on 12
January quoted the Chechen General Headquarters as saying
3,000-4,000 Russian servicemen have been killed in 1995
alone. State Duma Deputy Aivars Lezdysh--a Liberal
Democrat--told a Moscow press conference on 11 January
that at least 1,500 Russian military were killed in the
last few days. He claimed to have counted 160 dead
servicemen in three Grozny districts he had visited. --
Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
YELTSIN'S APPROVAL RATING. Russian TV's "Vesti" on
12 January cited Livshits as saying the president's
approval rating, which nose-dived after the Chechen war
broke out in December, has started to improve. A survey
conducted by the All-Russian Center for the Study of
Public Opinion at the beginning of January revealed that
only 17% of the respondents were satisfied with Yeltsin's
performance as president (compared with 28% in September
1994). While 70% of those polled in September were
dissatisfied with Yeltsin's work, this figure had climbed
to 81% in January. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
SOLZHENITSYN SAYS CHECHNYA SHOULD BE GRANTED
INDEPENDENCE. In an interview with Argumenty i fakty,
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn reiterated his proposal that
Russia grant Chechnya independence. He criticized the
Russian authorities for not doing so when the republic
declared independence in 1991. Solzhenitsyn said that
immediately after the republic's declaration, Russia
should have cut its subsidies to Chechnya, sealed its
borders, and deported all Chechens residing in Moscow and
other Russian cities or treated them as foreigners.
Solzhenitsyn believed that continuing the war against
Chechnya might result in a Russian confrontation with the
entire Muslim world, which, he said, should be avoided at
all costs. He opposed signing a confederation treaty with
the breakaway Caucasian republic because of a possible
domino effect, even in those republics with a Russian
majority population. Only those republics where the
eponymous nationality constitutes two-thirds of the
population--namely, Chechnya, Chuvashia, and Tuva--could
be granted independence if they requested it,
Solzhenitsyn said. Meanwhile, Nezavisimaya gazeta
published on 11 January an appeal to Solzhenitsyn, signed
by 11 young Russian politicians, asking him to run for
the presidency in the next elections. -- Julia
Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
GAIDAR SAYS YELTSIN RISKS LOSING CONTROL OF
MILITARY. In London for a meeting of the International
Democrat Union grouping of center-right parties, Egor
Gaidar, the leader of Russia's Choice, told reporters
that if Yeltsin "continues in the way he is doing, in a
very short time he will not be in control of the
military." Gaidar said Yeltsin was already "much more
dependent on the army and military forces than he was,"
Reuters reported on 12 January. Gaidar was not optimistic
that the legislation his faction introduced in the Duma
this week, banning the use of military force in Russia
except in a state of emergency, would be adopted. --
Penny Morvant, OMRI, Inc.
DEFENSE WORKERS WANT YELTSIN OUT. At an emergency
conference of the Russian Defense Industry Workers' Union
on 12 January, workers decided to prepare for joint
action to bring down the government and replace Yeltsin.
According to Interfax, the union reported that more than
200,000 workers left Russian defense enterprises in 1994.
Workers were owed more than 160 billion rubles, while
their average wage was only 62.5% of the average
industrial wage. The union charged that less than 30% of
the necessary funds were provided in 1994 for programs to
convert defense plants to civilian production. -- Doug
Clarke, OMRI, Inc.

Podrobnee o tom, chto prinjala v pjatnicu Duma:
Prinjato nepravovoe postanovlenie, predlagajuschee pravitel'stvu prilozhit'
usilija k mirnomu resheniju problemy. Otkloneny proekty zakonov: o
publikacii spiskov poter', o zapreschenii uchastija vojsk vo vnutrennih
konfliktah, ob otkaze v finansirovanii voennoj operacii v Chechne.
Prinjat v pervom chtenii proekt popravki k zakonu ob oborone, glasjaschej,
chto na ne predusmotrennoe zakonom ispol'zovanie vojsk (t.e. na svoej
territorii protiv "vnutrennego vraga") trebuetsja ukaz prezidenta,
utverzhdaemyj Sovetom Federacii. Zakon dolzhen byt' utverzhden Sovetom
Federacii i podpisan prezidentom, na chto kak-to malo nadezhdy (hotja
po-moemu, vpolne proprezidentskij zakon, hochetsja ego nazvat' "O

V pjatnicu i subbotu prodolzhalas' artpodgotovka nevidannoj ranee sily

The KGB report accused the Western research and philanthropic centers
(Soros Foundation, etc. ) of collecting information for investigative
services, setting up centers of foreign influence in
Russia, and orchestrating the "brain drain" from Russia. To
quell such subversive activities, the KGB suggests making
it difficult for Russian scholars going abroad.

Life expectancy for males fell from 64 years in 1990 to 60 in 1993,

Infant mortality more than doubled from 14 per 1,000 live births to 30.
if current trends continue, the Russian population could drop to 125 million

Dear IR-netties,
OK, it is again this time of a season: "updated-list-is-coming".
This INFO-RUSS net started on Aug. 15'91 with about 40 addresses. I am
going to broadcast a new (28-th) updated list of names&addresses (1050+

I am using the weekend slowdown in Chechnya-related flow of

As usual, I break the list into major domains of emigration: AMERICA

simplify your search for friends in far lands, I have also the
"faraway" sections for AUSTRALIA, South AFRICA, JAPAN, BRAZIL, MEXICO,

Subject: INFO-RUSS: Looking for help
Message-Id:
Status: O
Dear IR Members,
I am requesting your help in my search to locate a relative
and/or her family in Russia. Perhaps if you can not help, you
may know somebody who can. I am not of Russian origin and I do
not speak Russian, therefore, the reply should preferably be in
English.
So far I have requested help from the Red Cross and Red
Crescent of the (then) Soviet Union (June 10, 1991) and later
from the newspaper Pravda (August 25, 1993). I have not even
received a reply as of now.
The persons I am looking for are Mrs. Maria Arseneva and her
descendants (ARCEHbEBA).
I have the following information:
1. Mrs. Arseneva was born Maria Pinter on December 4, 1901,
in Bacskossuthfalva, Hungary, (now Stara Moravica,
Yugislavia).
2. She has married Peter (Piotr ?) Arsenev, a Russian POW
at the end of WWI, in 1920 at Novi Sad, Serbia
(now Yugoslavia).
3. They have moved to the Soviet Union in 1921.
4. Mrs. Arseneva's parents were Ferenc Pinter and Viktoria
Gyenge.
5. She also had a sister, Mrs. Katherine Raymond (Sagi),
who has lived in the USA from 1929 until her death in
1984.
6. The sisters have corresponded until the start of WWII,
when contact had been lost. The relationship between
the two countries after WWII was not conducive to start
a search for lost relatives, and as this case suggests
it is still difficult.
7. Mrs. Arseneva had three (3) children:
Anna - born in 1023 (?)
Sofia - born in 1925 (?)
Karl (?) - born in 1933 (?).
8. The last known address was:
Yaroslavl
(?) Nenrasovskaya 52 Kv. 20.
Mrs. Arseneva is (was) my father's first cousin. Mrs. Raymond's
two daughters, Ligia and Catherine (Mrs. Arseneva's nieces), are
joining me in this search.
Thank you very much for your attention. I will be very greatful
for any lead, any suggestions, and any help.
Sincerely,
Amos J. Danube

Subject: INFO-RUSS: JEWS IN DANGER IN UZBEKISTAN
Status: Or
From: The Union of Councils for Soviet Jews <0004201773@mcimail.com>
Pamela B. Cohen, National President
Micah H. Naftalin, National Director
UNION OF COUNCILS FOR SOVIET JEWS
URGENT ACTION REQUESTED: A letter from you could save the life of an elderly,
observant Jew presently being tried in Uzbekistan for a murder he could not
have committed. Apologies for cross-posting, necessitated by the gravity of the
situation.
The Jews of Uzbekistan are deeply frightened because a well known Jewish man
has been falsely accused of the murder of an ethnic Uzbek youth. "If he is
convicted, the whole Jewish community will be in great danger," according to a
Jewish leader in Uzbekistan who cannot be identified for fear of reprisal.
We received the following information last night from The Caucasus Network, an
international organization for the benefit of Jews in the Caucasus and Central
Asian republics of the former Soviet Union. You may be assured that the
information is based on unimpeachable sources.
At 12:30 p.m. of September 29, a 17-year old Uzbek youth named Ibragimov was
found murdered in his bed in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. His skull was smashed and
his throat cut. An expert witness for the prosecution testified that he had
been dead for at least 10 hours, i.e. since around 2:30 a.m. or before. His
landlord, Iosif Koinov, was arrested, jailed and, in late November, charged
with the murder. He was viciously tortured into signing a confession he could
not read or understand.
However, Koinov, a 76-year old observant, Bukharan Jew, was on an overnight
train traveling from the town of Margilan in eastern Uzbekistan which did not
arrive in Tashkent until 6 a.m. He provided the arresting officers with the
names of eye witnesses and the ticket, both proving that he was nowhere near
Tashkent at the time of the murder.
Uzbekistan is one of the most totalitarian of the former Soviet republics,
whose leader maintains a near-complete stranglehold over his country. The
Jewish population, numbering between 60,000 and 100,000, lives in constant fear
of the security forces, of Islamic nationalists, and of a justice system that
does not protect its citizens. In recent months, a vicious anti-Semitic tract
has been circulating in Uzbekistan aimed at rousing hatred against Jews in this
predominantly Moslem nation. It speaks of an historic "conspiracy of infidel
kikes" who are troublemakers responsible for Moslem woes. With a harsh winter
threatening acute shortages of food, medicine and fuel, Uzbek authorities may
well be preparing the ground for scapegoating Jews.
The trial, which had been set and delayed several times, began on January 5 but
adjourned within minutes until further notice. If the Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews has learned anything in its 25- year experience of defending the
safety of Jews in the former Soviet Union, it is that their best protection
lies in keeping their plight directly in the spotlight of publicity.
Today, this very minute, the safety of Iosif Koinov -- and likely the safety of
the Jews of Uzbekistan -- depends on your joining in a campaign to let the
Uzbeks know that the civilized world is watching them. This elderly man, who
is in ill health, must be released from jail immediately. If you know anything
about Uzbek jails, you will understand that his life very likely depends on it.
WE URGENTLY APPEAL TO YOU, AT ONCE, TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
l. Write personal and/or organizational letters addressed to Mr. Buri
Mustafoev, the Uzbek Prosecutor General, as follows:
CIS 700 000 Uzbekistan, Tashkent ul. Gogol 66 Procurator General of Uzbekistan
Buri Mustafoev
2. Address the envelope: UCSJ: Koinov Appeal
1819 H Street N.W. Suite 230
Washington, D.C. 20006
(It takes up to two months for regular mail to be delivered to Tashkent. We
will forward your letters in bulk by DHL express delivery.)
3. Please write a second letter (or telegram), or provide a cc of the
first, and mail it direct to the Uzbek Ambassador in Washington:
Honorable Fatikh Teshabaev, Ambassador Embassy of Uzbekistan
1511 K. Street, N.W. #623 Washington, D.C. 20005
(Please send us a copy of your letters so that we will know what the Ambassador
is receiving) Your letters need not be long. Tell them that you are aware of
the spurious charges against Iosif Koinov, an elderly Tashkent Jew who could
not possibly have committed the murder for which he is charged. That you
believe the trial constitutes an anti-Semitic provocation. That Americans will
not tolerate normal relations with a country that permits such miscarriages of
justice and perpetrates human rights violations against its citizens. Ask him
to use his supervisory powers to correct this abuse of prosecution by dropping
the charges and releasing Koinov from custody.
This style of response was employed for two decades in behalf of the safety of
Soviet Prisoners of Conscience. And it worked. Today, the prosecution of Iosif
Koinov is also politically motivated. His safety, perhaps his life, and the
safety of Uzbekistan's Jews, depend on all of us.
With thanks, we implore you to respond at once.

Dear folks!
Hi to all the RUSS-netters from Down-Under!
Just a quick note to let you know that I am planning to visit Moscow,
Piter and Saratov in Feb 1995, and I am happy to take letters and
messages from anyone of you folks who are prepared to take trouble of
sending them via Australia. Note that I am leaving for Moscow on 2Feb.
I have also got a query as I am stopping over in France on my way
to Moscow: are there any of "our people" in Paris, to whom I could
speak in Russian? (Pardon, I don't speak French...). I am
particularly interested in visiting Sorbonne - any faculty will do,
but preferably something close to Education, linguistics, psychology,
physisology and/or sport science.
Also, can anyone advise on the pragmatic ways to spend two days/nights
in Paris (some inexpensive accomodation, what's worth seeing, etc?).
Please reply direct to me: eugene@ballarat.edu.au
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Eugene

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 11, 16 January 1995
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW RUSSIAN ATTACK ON GROZNY. Systematic house-to-
house fighting and intensified artillery bombardment of
the presidential palace in Grozny continued from 13 to 15
January, Western journalists reported. On 13 January,
Russian forces took the Council of Ministers building
opposite the presidential palace, and on 14 January
succeeded in surrounding the blazing palace and
preventing the advent of Chechen reinforcements or a
Chechen retreat to the south. Russian troops who
succeeded in forcing their way into the presidential
palace on 14 January were driven out on 15 January. In a
satellite-telephone interview from Grozny published in
Die Welt am Sonntag on 15 January, Chechen President
Dzhokhar Dudaev predicted that the war in Chechnya would
last longer than that in Afghanistan, and claimed that 47
Russian generals had defected to the Chechen side.
Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
OSTANKINO HEAD DENOUNCES CENSORSHIP ON CHECHNYA.
Alekdandr N. Yakovlev, head of Ostankino television and
radio, asked the Russian government on 14 January to stop
trying to control the coverage of the war in Chechnya
through censorship or by putting pressure on the media,
Interfax and Mlada Fronta Dnes reported on 13 and 16
January, respectively. Yakovlev said the censorship
applies to all Russian journalists reporting on the
conflict and has reduced the coverage of Russian forces.
-- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
ANTI-WAR RALLIES HELD IN VARIOUS RUSSIAN CITIES.
Despite the unpopularity of the Chechen war, the protest
movement against it has not turned into a mass movement,
Russian Television "Vesti's" commentator opined, while
reporting on two rallies held in Moscow by different
democratic organizations on 14 and 15 January. According
to "Vesti," neither of these meetings attracted more than
a few thousand participants. "Vesti" also broadcast
footage of anti-war rallies held on 15 January in other
cities across Russia, including St. Petersburg,
Chelyabinsk on the Urals, Omsk in Siberia and Volgograd.
In Moscow, both protests were organized by former Yeltsin
supporters who said they became opponents of the Russian
president and his regime after the bombing of civilians
in Grozny. In other places, participants condemned both
the president and the democrats who had brought Yeltsin
to power and approved of the use of force against the
former Russian parliament in October 1993. In a separate
development, "Vesti" said that a meeting of the leaders
of Russia's Cossack organizations, held 14 and 15
January, disapproved of those Cossacks who voted for the
military intervention in Chechnya. -- Julia Wishnevsky,
OMRI, Inc.
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WAR SERIOUS DESPITE RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS' DENIAL. Speaking on the live television
program "Itogi," Finance Minster Vladimir Panskov stated
on 14 January that Russia's current budget for 1995 will
be sufficient to pay for the Chechnya war if it ends
soon. Similarly, Deputy Premier Anatolii Chubais, in a 14
January Interfax report, stated there is no reason to
worry about an economic disaster because of the conflict.
Statistics, however, indicate otherwise. Panskov said the
military cost of Russia's intervention in Chechnya during
December was about 450 billion rubles ($121 million). He
estimated the cost of reconstruction between 4 and 5
trillion rubles ($1.1 to 1.35 billion), a conservative
figure. According to a Western report, free-market reform
economist Egor Gaidar said that if spending continues
over the next few weeks the 1995 budget can be forgotten.
Not only is the budget at stake, but also confidence in
the ruble, which can help boost the economy and faith in
Yeltsin, the force that influences Western lenders and
investors. Already, the government's original $60 billion
spending plan for 1995 is short by $19 billion, or 7.7%
of the projected gross national product (GNP). The
majority of this deficit was to be covered by credits
from international lending agencies as well as the sale
of treasury bonds. But as some reports estimate, an
additional $4.5 billion expended on the war would raise
the deficit to about 10% of the GNP, a level unacceptable
to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). --Thomas Sigel,

Hi folks;
Does anyone know if the Russia-US tax treaty still exists?
Here at Stony Brook we were told that it has not been renewed
for 1995, so the payroll have started withdrawing taxes from
our paychecks.
If this is not true and the tax treaty is still alive, I will
appreciate any references and/or information on how to get a copy.
Anyone intersted in the subject should feel free to send me
a PERSONAL request (i.e. NOT thorugh the info-russ); I'll be happy
to share with you any info I've got provided there will be any.
(Again, I am not going to post the summary on info-russ; the
coordinator letted me know me that he is not likely to post any
other msg on the subject since in general, visa & passport &
taxes issues are not carried by info-russ anymore.)
Thanx,

pravitel'stvennyh vojsk, i "Al'fa" eto znala, nastroenija eto porodilo
protivopolozhnye - oni ne vypolnili prikaz ubit' Ruckogo i Hasbulatova, a
vzjali ih v plen, za chto i byli ser'ezno nakazany), no horosho demonstriruet

V Moskve nahoditsja delegacija chechenskogo pravitel'stva vo glave s ministrom
ekonomiki (ta zhe, chto na peregovorah vo Vladikavkaze, prervannyh
fakticheskim nachalom boevyh dejstvij 11 dekabrja). Chernomyrdin poruchil
rabotat' s nimi Shahraju, no sam vystupil s ochen' primiritel'nym zajavleniem.
Mozhno pochti iskljuchit' predpolozhenie, chto eto prosto ocherednaja dymovaja
zavesa nastuplenija vojsk (vojska v nih bol'she ne nuzhdajutsja), i ostaetsja
vybirat': eto manevr Chernomyrdina ili manevr protiv Chernomyrdina?
Posmotrim. V rukovodstve strany ne vse idioty (hotja i mnogie), i,
vozmozhno, ponimajut, chto pri ljubom variante ot nemedlennogo zamirenija do
toj ili inoj pobedy potrebuetsja okkupacionnoe ili sojuznoe pravitel'stvo.
Inache - dolgovremennyj terror, kotoryj v nyneshnem informacionno prozrachnom
mire provodit' trudno i nakladno. Tak chto vse ravno v konce puti -
peregovory s kakimi-to "avtoritetami", tol'ko kolichestvo krovi po doroge

govoril, zanjalsja problemoj uklonenija generalov ot svoego pochetnogo
dolga. Vchera on po etomu povodu daval press-konferentsiju. Osnovnoj
figurant rassledovanija - general Eduard Vorob'ev, zam. glavkoma
suhoputnyh vojsk. Il'jushenko skazal, chto prestupnyh prikazov ne byvaet,
a byvajut prestupnye ispolniteli. Kak ispolnit' prikaz, ne narushiv
zakonov i morali - problema ispolnitelej. "On dolzhen byl, esli emu
kazhetsja, chto inache nel'zja izbezhat' zhertv, vojti v Groznyj ne na tanke,

Rossii mutnaja zvezda g-na Il'jushenko.
V predystorii - rabota prokurorom v Solntseve (plohoj byl prokuror),
potom sledovatelem v genprokurature Rossii (proslavilsja shpionstvom za
kollegami i stukom v otdel kadrov). Rezko vspuh on, poluchiv dostup k

komissija po obvineniju Rutskogo v predostavlenii (pri posrednichestve
izrail'skogo biznesmena) za vzjatku vygodnogo kontrakta. Predsedatelem
komissii byl advokat Makarov (nyne glavnyj shahmatist Rossii), a vhodil
Il'jushenko. Bol'shuju rol' sygral "general Dima" - strannyj chelovek
Dmitrij JAkubovskij - kanadskij millioner, agent srazu neskol'kih
spetssluzhb Rossii (nyne arestovan po obvineniju v krazhe kartin). Glavnoe
dokazatel'stvo - bumazhka s podpis'ju Rutskogo, ispolnennaja na kserokse.

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST Vol. 1, No. 12, 17 January 1995
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BATTLE FOR GROZNY CONTINUES. The Russian government press service
characterized the situation in Grozny on 16 January as "tense," with Chechen
forces continuing fierce resistance to Russian troops attempting to advance
on the presidential palace. Western agencies cited unconfirmed claims by
Chechen officials that Chechen fighters had succeeded in retaking some
ground. Chechen forces were also said to be re-entrenching and concentrating
artillery and armored vehicles along the Chelmuga-Bamut-Arshty road
southwest of Grozny and at other locations in the south. Speaking at a press
conference in Moscow on 16 January, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry
official stated that at present Moscow considers the dispatch to Chechnya of
an OSCE representative to be premature, although he did not exclude OSCE
involvement in a settlement of the conflict at some future stage, Interfax
reported. He also
conceded that developments in Chechnya could delay Russia's admission to the
Council of Europe. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
CHERNOMYRDIN PROPOSES CEASE-FIRE, NEGOTIATIONS. On 16 January Prime Minister
Viktor Chernomyrdin proposed a cease-fire and immediate negotiations with
Chechen
separatists, subject to strict conditions, AFP reported. Chernomyrdin
offered to hold talks on freezing troop deployments in Chechnya, calling off
the use of tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons, and setting up
no-fighting zones where weapons could be stockpiled, but stipulated that
peace could only come after the Chechens had laid down their arms, something
they have so far refused to do. Chernomyrdin also called for talks on
Chechnya's future with a view to setting up a transitional government.
However, the negotiators face the difficult task of finding a leader
acceptable to both sides. Also on 16 January, a Chechen delegation headed by
Economy Minister Teimuraz Abubakarov with negotiating authority from
President Dzhokhar Dudaev
arrived in Moscow for talks with Chernomyrdin, AFP reported. -- Robert
Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
VOROBYOV QUESTIONING CONFIRMED. General Alexei Ilyushenko, Russia's acting
prosecutor-general, told a press conference on 16 January that military
prosecutors
had interviewed Colonel-General Eduard Vorobyov in connection with the
latter's refusal to take command of the operations in Chechnya. According to
Interfax, Ilyushenko indicated other officers and servicemen were also being
investigated. He said that no criminal proceedings had yet been started,
adding that his office did not distinguish "between a private, a general, and a
deputy defense minister." Military sources told Interfax that Vorobyov could
not be prosecuted because he had only been offered the Chechnya post, not
ordered there.-- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.

Petersburg Police Unit Ordered To Chechen Battlefields
By Linda JONES
St. Petersburg Press , Jan. 17'95
A detachment of 250 troops from the St Petersburg OMON
has been sent to Chechnya -- just days after 100 other
paramilitary police abandoned their posts in the combat
zone.
The OMON servicemen will be stationed on roadblocks
around the besieged city of Grozny with orders to
"confiscate weapons from the local population and uphold
law and order."
The move comes in the wake of a grim report in the
newspaper Izvestiya that dozens of Russian troops are
deserting from the battlefields of Chechnya. The paper
published a first-hand account by the officer of an OMON unit,
who said he and his men had walked away from the conflict.
Izvestiya quoted the unnamed officer as saying he and
about 100 men had ignored orders to stay in Chechnya
until January 26 and returned instead to their Urals
base in Yekaterinburg.
"How can we do our job properly with light weapons and
tear gas, when we're up against (Chechen) tanks and
artillery?" the officer was quoted as saying. The OMON
had been run by Major-General Victor Vorobyov until he
was killed by a mortar shell two weeks ago.
Izvestia quoted the OMON officer denouncing Russia's
command as irresponsible, accusing them of sending
inexperienced paratroopers to fight.
Colonel Leonid Bogdanov, chief of the St Petersburg
police press center, said the new OMON unit would be
armed with automatic weapons and would be deployed in
areas already made safe by the regular army.

Vol. 1, No. 13 part I, 18 January 1995

CONFUSION OVER NEW CHECHEN CEASE-FIRE. A Chechen government
delegation held what were termed "discussions not talks" in
Moscow on 17 January with Russian Deputy Prime Minister
Sergei Shakhrai and First Deputy Minister for Nationalities
Vyacheslav Mikhailov on the feasibility of enforcing a cease-
fire in Chechnya, Interfax reported. (Minister for
Nationalities Nikolai Egorov is reportedly "in poor health"
and failed to attend either these "discussions" or the
Federation Council session on 17 January.) The Chechen
delegation told journalists on 17 January that at a
subsequent meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin,
agreement was reached on a cessation of hostilities, possibly
beginning in the evening of 18 January. But ITAR-TASS later
quoted Russian government spokesman Valerii Grishin as
stating that Chernomyrdin's talks with the Chechens had been
"unofficial" and that a formal response to the Russian
proposal for a cease-fire was awaited from Chechen President
Dzhokhar Dudaev in Grozny.
AFP reported that the
Russian artillery bombardment of Grozny continued on 17
January, while the Russian government press service claimed
that street-to-street fighting was subsiding and that Chechen
forces were retreating from the city in groups of 700-900
men. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
CHUVASHIA TOLD TO CANCEL DECREE ON CHECHNYA. President
Yeltsin has called on Chuvash President Nikolai Fedorov to
rescind a decree issued last week challenging Moscow's right
to intervene in Chechnya, telling him it is unconstitutional,
RUSSIA'S GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT DROPS 39% IN THREE YEARS.
Gross domestic product (GDP) in 1994 numbered 630 trillion
rubles ($165.78 billion), a 15% decline from 1993 and a 39%
drop from pre-reform 1991, Interfax reported on 17 January.
The official figures, released by the Russian Statistics
Committee on 17 January, stated that 62% of the GDP came from
the private sector. The rate of decline in industry in 1994
appeared higher than in the two previous years and totaled
20.9%, compared to 16.2% in 1993 and 18% in 1992. The
Statistics Committee noted that the 1994 fourth quarter, as
compared to a year earlier, showed a 17.8% growth in
production. Other 1994 figures showed a continued reduction
of capital investments in the economy--a fall of 27% in the
past year. Overall, investments have fallen 61% since 1991.
Retail prices grew 220%; wholesale prices rose 230%. Real
income figures for the population were up 14% from 1993,
while unemployment increased 28.6%, up 5.3 million from the
previous year. -- Thomas Sigel, OMRI, Inc.

CHECHENS ABANDON PRESIDENTIAL PALACE. In what Russian Defense Minister
Pavel Grachev described as a "turning point" in the war in Chechnya,
Russian troops took control of the devastated presidential palace in
central Grozny during the afternoon of 19 January after the Chechen
defenders decided to abandon the building and establish a new center of
resistance elsewhere in Grozny, Interfax and Western agencies reported.
Interfax quoted Russian military intelligence sources as claiming that
the Chechens had suffered "substantial losses." In a statement issued
after the Russian military took control of the palace, Russian President
Boris Yeltsin claimed that the military stage of reestablishing
constitutional order in Chechnya was almost completed, and that Interior
Ministry forces would take over the mission of restoring law and order.
Yeltsin further voiced his respects for the Russian soldiers killed
during the fighting and for the "suffering of the civilian population."
Also on 19 January, Russian Interior Ministry forces consolidated
control of eastern Chechnya, according to Reuters. Grozny was subjected
to intensive Russian artillery fire during the night of 19 January in an
attempt to wipe out remaining pockets of Chechen resistance, AFP
reported. On 20 January, Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudaev met with
journalists in Khasavyurt, Dagestan, and declared that Chechen
resistance would continue; as quoted by Reuters, he claimed that neither
Yeltsin nor Chernomyrdin was in control of the situation. -- Liz Fuller,
OMRI, Inc.
CHERNOMYRDIN REJECTS TALKS WITH DUDAEV. Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin rejected the possibility of talks with Dzhokhar Dudaev,
saying "I do not talk to gangsters," Interfax reported 19 January. He
told a group of journalists that the situation in Chechnya is often
fanned by "the likes of you," implying the media, and by "some hot heads
in parliament." He said that there is no war party in the cabinet or
Russia in general. -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
KOVALEV TO MEET CHERNOMYRDIN, NOT YELTSIN. Human Rights Commissioner
Sergei Kovalev returned to Moscow from the Chechen capital Grozny on 19
January. Russian television newscasts broadcast footage of Kovalev's
news conference at Vnukovo airport in Moscow where he stated that the
Chechen war would not be finished even after the Russian occupation of
Grozny. The military has been preparing for a guerrilla war, Kovalev
added, showing a leaflet in which a Russian commander stationed in
Chechnya threatens rural villages with destruction if they shelter
Chechen fighters. Kovalev said that he was going to meet with Viktor
Chernomyrdin, not Boris Yeltsin--indirectly hinting that he blamed the
atrocities in Chechnya on Yeltsin. On the same day, Yeltsin's closest
ally, Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev, told the RTV program "Details,"
that he could not name anyone in the world as knowledgeable on human
rights as Kovalev. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
ATTEMPT TO IMPEACH YELTSIN FAILS. Following three days of heated
debates, the upper chamber of the Russian parliament approved on 19
January a resolution on the Chechen crisis, Russian television newscasts
reported that day. The Federation Council senators rejected nearly all
strong measures proposed by the various committees of the house.
Proposals included starting the impeachment process against Yeltsin; and
prosecuting him for exceeding his authority and violating the
constitution in the form of dispatching the army to Chechnya without
declaring either military or emergency rule. Although approximately half
of the senators present voted for the resolution, the total votes (61)
fell far short of the necessary 90 votes required. A vote of no
confidence in Chernomyrdin's government received 66 votes, also short of
the 90 needed. A third failed proposal entailed barring the Federation
Council's speaker, Vladimir Shumeiko, from participating in sessions of
the President's Security Council. The chamber succeeded in passing a
resolution introducing amendments into the constitution to ensure
parliamentary and public control over the executive branch of the
government. Another resolution approved called on acting Russian
Prosecutor-General Aleksei Ilyushenko to bring criminal charges against
those responsible for illegal sales of Russian weaponry to Chechen
forces. (In his address to the Council of Federation, the chairman of
its Defense Committee, Petr Shirshov, named Russian Defense Minister
Pavel Grachev as being responsible such actions.) -- Julia Wishnevsky,
OMRI, Inc.
COUNCIL OF FEDERATION EXASPERATED. The 18 January session of the
Federation Council became heated after it was snubbed by top Russian
officials. On the eve of the session, members of the chamber, who refer
to themselves as "the Russian senators," invited President Yeltsin,
Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, Defense Minister Pavel Grachev, Minister of
Internal Affairs Viktor Erin, secretary of the Security Council Oleg
Lobov and acting Russian Prosecutor-General Aleksei Ilyushenko to attend
the session, which was supposed to discuss the situation in Chechnya.
Only Ilyushenko arrived, while other officials told the chamber that
they were too busy to attend the session. According to Russian
Television newscasts, the deliberate absence of the other top officials
caused an uproar in the upper chamber and its members then proposed
several measures, starting with the dissolution of the Federation
Council and including demands for the resignation of Yeltsin,
Chernomyrdin and the "power" ministers. The senators particularly
lambasted the Security Council, which they hold responsible for the
decision to invade Chechnya, and their own speaker, Vladimir Shumeiko, a
Yeltsin appointee to the Security Council along with Ivan Rybkin,
speaker of the State Duma. Ostankino's "Vremya" broadcast two minutes of
the footage of the address of the famous reform-minded senator, Yurii
Chernichenko, attacking the Security Council as "the new Politburo," and
the "secretive, illegal, dictatorial body" that "has unleashed a civil
war" in Russia. -- Julia Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PUTS EU-RUSSIAN PARTNERSHIP ACCORD ON HOLD. The
European Parliament voted 19 January to put the partnership agreement,
signed with Russia in June, on hold, AFP reports. The European
Parliament, the legislative arm of the European Union, made the move to
show its displeasure with Russian military actions in Chechnya. The
action must be approved by EU foreign ministers, who are expected to
back the suspension. The European Parliament denounced "the totally
disproportionate measures taken by the Russia authorities, as well as
the flagrant violation of human rights which results from these
measures." The European Commission had been on the verge of implementing
the economic and commercial aspects of the agreement on an interim
basis. -- Michael Mihalka, OMRI, Inc.
FILATOV WARNS RUSSIAN REGIONS. Sergei Filatov, President Yeltsin's Chief
of Staff, condemned various Russian regions' drive for greater autonomy
as "posing a danger to the integrity of Russia," Interfax reported 18
January. He said that some regions' adoption of charters designed to
give them more rights and limit federal authority had resulted in
numerous violations of the constitution. Filatov ruled out "tough
methods" for resolving the disputes and suggested instead that experts
from the president's State Law Administration should try to persuade
regional authorities to change their attitudes. If that doesn't work the
federal authorities plan to appeal to the Constitutional Court. In a
related development, Yeltsin met on 18 January with the president of
Tatarstan, Mintimer Shaimiev, Interfax reported. Tatarstan, like
Chechnya, refused to sign the Russian Federation Treaty but signed a
bilateral power-sharing agreement with Moscow on 3 February 1994.
Shaimiev commented that the Tatarstan model had great importance because
it "showed that members of the federation were able to establish normal
relations on a peaceful basis." -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.

Dear IR-folks,
OK, here is first wittnes' report on Chechnya events (kidding, kidding,
it is a wittnes' report, but not from Chechnya). Yesterday, I attended
(as part of public) the hearing of the US Congress Commission of Security
and Cooperation in Europe (better known as "Helsinki Committee") hold
at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC, from 2pm-5pm.
It was chaired by newly-appointed Congressman C. H. Smith and co-chaired
by Senator A. D'Amato (both - republicans; both were on the list
of the people to whom our letter regarding Chechnya was sent to).
There were a few other Senators and Congressmen (I missed their names,
sorry), and two panels were presented:
Dr. Elena Bonner (Sakharov's widow, prominent Russ. human right activist)
Dr. Mohammed Shashani (President of Chechen-Ingush Soc. of America)
Dr. Mariam Elahi (Amnesty International)
and
Dr. Paul Goble (Carnegie Endowment; form. Adviser at the US Dept. of State)
Dr. Charles Fairbanks (Johns Hopkins Policy Inst. at Washington)
Here are just brief notes and highlights (I am not experiencest
reporter, so be patient with possible gaps and errors).
Major impressions: unreserved and unopposed anger (coming both from
panels and the Commission) toward human rights violations by Russian
military and government and their war against civilian;
strong and common unacceptance of the (initial) position of the US
President that the war is internal affair of Russ-government;
strong focus on using economic aid for Russia as a leverage to change
her behavior.
The highlights:
Bonner:
old philosophy is coming back again (Zhirinovsky): "We need not
West to respect us; we need it to fear us"
Jackson-Veinik (sp?) amendment -- we need it applied again
her own request and that of Sergey Kovalev (she spoke with him on
the phone before leaving Russia) to the US:
use all your diplomatic and ECONOMIC pressure to stop the war
Chechen side provided list of Russ-prisoners; Russian side provided none
secret order in Russ-military -- not to take any prisoners
Russians offered for exchange 3 prisoners -- one of them 13-year old
boy. (Prisoning kids -- prohibited by Haag convention; that was not a
singular case).
the war is just starting
it was wrong to close Radio Liberty and similar institutions; too early
in her life she saw the bombed out Dresden and Stalingrad;
now we (Russians) did the same to Grozny
what Russians do to Chechens comes close to what Germans did to
Jews: holocaust
two years ago, when she defended Karabakh Armenians, she was accused
that she does it to protect Christians against Muslims
she suspect that now she will be accused of siding Muslims
most important in near future is not who is the Russ-president,
but who will be in newly-elected Duma
Dr. Shoshani;
Dudaev was elected by 85% majority
18,000 (18 thousand) civilian killed during last month
Russians used cluster bombs and other weapons
prohibited by Haag Conference
cited definition by the Convention of genocide (three items --
all three of them apply to Russian actions)
Chechnya never signed a new accord with Russian federation
Comments by Mrs. Smith, D'Amato, and two other Commission members:
we must use "zero tolerance" to genocide
Russian actions are "simply unacceptable"
the Mr. President's comment about the war being an internal
Russian affair was "regretful"
"Mistakes have been made" (about Mr. President's comment)
Marian Elahi:
10 cars with civilians (Russian!) refugees blasted off point-blanc
by tanks at the check point
violation of human rights are not internal affairs
any army must facilitate access to the prisoners of war
military personnel has rights and duty to refuse criminal orders
Bonner & Shashani
negotiations must be hold only with Dudaev;
the rest are real thugs and Russian puppets
Yeltsyn most likely will introduce emergency rule in Chechnya
two months ago the peaceful settlement could've been reached;
now it is impossible
Next panel:
Paul Goble (gosh, he was the most impressive expert; fire-breathing)
Dudaev is not a thug!
Chechen fight is not about fundamental islamism
Far more important (than fundamental islamism) is
to defend human rights
the old notion that Russia is a protector of the West against
islamism is sheer nonsence (I almost heard "bulls**t":-)
Chechens will continue to fight
there will be no victory for Russians
Russian borders were drown by tsars and Stalin; why they
should be taken seriously now?
this war will blow Russian federation into small pieces
Key points: PIPELINES. They will be blown up.
7 out 21 (23? I missed the exact number) areas in Russia
demanded to re-negotiate their federation accord
this war will "bleed back" into Moscow and Peterbourg
there was a SECRET meeting between Chernomyrdin and Zhirinovsky
10 days ago -- to actually prevent any real negotiations
WE DID NOT SPEAK UP EARLIER -- that could've stopped Kremlin
Russia is much less integrable state than we think of it
NO "INTERNAL" AFFAIR anymore
we have to find how to help economically the people,
without helping the government and security (KGB)
stop supporting individuals (meaning Yeltsyn, or whoever else)
we cannot and should not elect Russ-president; Russian people should
BUT we have to show them that they (presidents) have to live by rules
no way to get a peaceful settlement now
Fairbanks:
the key element behind the war is Caspian oil
this war is about who will get super-bribes for oil licenses
state machinery is disintegrating
Answering to Mr. Smith's question "What went wrong":
Goble: A few months ago, in October, the secret police has done
an ethnic cleansing in Moscow, arresting and beating up people with
dark skin; we never said anything. We should have been PROTESTING.
We should haven't been taking care about economy alone, we should've
been concerned also about DEMOCRACY.
We sould've been not taking old Russian definitions of their borders.
Mr. President's statement that "it is your internal business; I hope
you will end it up with minimal carnage" was wrong..
We should stop dealing with Moscow alone, we should talk to all parties
involved.
We should broaden cultural exchanges, e.g. student exchanges
(example: 60,000 students from China, only 2,500 from Russia)
Fairbanks: IMF, economic aid for Russia should be used as a tool.
Smith's comment: "AID for RUSSIA is CERTAINLY at RISK"
Goble:
We should help Russian "intellegentsia" (he was humorously commenting
about "Russian intellegentsia" : there is no equivalent of that in the
States -- it is a huge Russian class of people who make their living
by reading and writing); it is OUR constituency and we letting them
down; their numbers are quickly depleting; our help is reaching somebody
else, not them. Average salary in Russia: 260,000 rbl/month,
"intelegent" 160,000 rbl/month, gas&oil industry 1000,000 rbl/month!
Pipelines are vulnerable! Easy terrorist targets. No stability in the
area. Dagestan, Ingushetia, may be the next target of Russian attack
under any pretext. Chechens let it be known that there would no
terrorism, as long as they have Grozny; with the Grozny lost, they will
began using terrorism: they have nothing to loose.
Smith: What could be next areas of instability?
Goble:
Udmurdia, Chuvashia, Tuva are ready to fight for independence.
Their pipelines are also vulnerable.
In center the government is also quickly losing control of
administrative and MILITARY units, which may become independent
warlord-ruled gangs.
Fairbanks adds:
Tuva, Ukraine, North Kazakhstan -- all very unstable areas.
Goble:
We have to protest against Russian doctrine of them having their right
to protect "ethnic Russians" (Russian-speaking) in other countries.
About Dudaev: "He is a man of honor, distinction and integrity"
(speaking about Dudaev's protest against Russians using military force
in Baltic, and about Dudaev's allowing parents of Russian soldiers
killed or wounded during the war, to come and search for their sons).
OK, that's it. No critical comments or arguing, please, this is just
what I heard. Only sincere and unconditional thanks are accepted:-).

Hi, folks!
Vylozhivshis' do predela na simvolicheskij akt - boi za reskom (dvorec)
storony dopustili v Groznom nekotoroe zatish'e. Segodnja streljali
tol'ko iz avtomatov i minometov. Plotnaja linija fronta proshla po reke
Sunzhe (chechency zanimajut jugo-vostochnyj bereg, vzorvav most u samogo
dvorca). Na drugom beregu federaly kontrolirujut nadezhno aeroport
Hankala na severe goroda i polosu menee kilometra k centru goroda. V
ostal'noj zanjatoj imi chasti goroda cherespolosica: v podvalah i sredi
ruin prosachivajutsja chechenskie snajpery i avtomatchiki. Prekraschenie
uchastija vojsk i zamena ih na vojska zhe (no MVD) poka proishodit tak,
chto cherez Mozdok gonjat vse novye i novye divizii i polki i armii, i
MVD. Tol'ko teper' est' (poka?) zheleznaja doroga s vosstanovlennym
mostom u Ischerskoj. Poezda s vojskami, razumeetsja, idut ne do vokzala
(kotoryj v "federal'noj", no nenadezhnoj zone), a do okrain goroda.
Gruppirovka rossijskih vojsk uzhe znachimo prevysila zanjatuju v
svoe vremja v Afganistane (morpehov tuda, vo vsjakom sluchae, ne
posylali). Poteri rossijskih vojsk ubitymi za 40 dnej boev,
verojatno, prevyshajut 2000 (vozmozhno, chto vdvoe). Napomnju, chto poteri
za 9 let Afgana sostavili 13500. Pomimo prochego, stoit otmetit', chto
chechncy, projavljaja ne men'shuju gotovnost' k smerti, chem afgancy,
gorazdo "civilizovannee" (v desjatiletke uchilis'). Eto paradoksal'noe
sochetanie, no chto est', to est'. A ved' ih v dvadcat' raz men'she,
chem afgancev!
Teper' i chechency, kotorye byli slishkom zanjaty vojnoj, reshili
razvlechsja propagandoj. Vchera bylo ob'javleno, chto Dudaev provel
zasedanie pravitel'stva, merii i shtaba oborony v zapasnom bunkere "v
500 metrah ot dvorca". Neskol'kimi chasami pozzhe, glubokoj noch'ju, on
nenadolgo pojavilsja v Hasav'jurte na territorii Dagestana. Stepashin
(nachal'nik KGB) podtverdil, chto "Dudaev gde-to v Groznom".
Znamenityj flag, zapasennyj dlja vodruzhenija na reskome, ostalsja v
Mozdoke (ego ne na chto veshat'). Fotografija, opublikovannaja v
"Rossijskoj gazete", javljaetsja fotomontazhem, kak podtverdil ee
redaktor. Letuchie gruppy boevikov pronikajut v gruppu zdanij vokrug
reskoma (oni povrezhdeny men'she). Segodnja mozhno bylo videt', kak nad
Sovminom (kommentator NTV oshibochno skazal, chto nad dvorcom) visjat
dva flaga - chechenskij i imperskij. "Druzhba narodov".
V ostal'noj chasti respubliki boi usililis', v tom chisle pri uchastii
aviacii. V hode zhestokih boev federalami byla zanjata (kak vsegda v
etoj vojne, s ogovorkoj "pohozhe na to") stanica Osinovskaja na
granice s Ingushetiej. Na granice s Dagestanom tozhe boi, i iz Mozdoka
razdajutsja obvinenija Dagestana v "potvorstve banditam".
Tem vremenem vlasti predprinjali usilija dlja vosstanovlenija kontrolja
nad pressoj. Odnovremenno Chernomyrdin vpervye popytalsja pogovorit' s

SUBJECT: Thanks and update re Iosif Koinov, Uzbekistan
Thank you for the magnificent response of many hundreds of you to our recent
urgent action appeal concerning the case of Iosif Koinov, a 76-year old
Bukharan Jew falsely accused and subject to trial, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for
the murder of an Uzbek youth that he could not have committed. The letters,
approaching 1,000, are now pouring in to the Uzbek procurator general - - we
are forwarding hundreds each day to Tashkent -- and the copies of your letters
to the Uzbek ambassador in Washington. We continue to urge those who have not
yet written to do so. Keeping the spotlight on this case can mean the
difference between life and death for this aged and ill man suffering in jail.

Hi, folks!
Voennaja situacija v Groznom ostaetsja prezhnej, krupnyh boev net.
Voennye zhalujutsja na znachitel'nye poteri ot snajperov i ot
nakrytij svoih vojsk sobstvennoj artilleriej i minometchikami.
Kak i predpolagalos', iznachal'no antidudaevskie regiony
vstretili padenie dvorca s oblegcheniem i kak signal, chto
lojal'nost' novym vlastjam mozhno demonstrirovat' otkryto (rech'
idet prezhde vsego ob Urus-Martanovskom rajone). Vmeste s tem
federalam ne udalos' ustanovit' kontrolja ni nad odnim
rajcentrom Central'noj Chechni. Pravitel'stvo prodolzhaet ugrozy
po adresu naselenija prigranichnyh rajonov Dagestana, obvinjaja
ego v pomoschi "boevikam" i obstrelah russkih pozicij.
Segodnja NTV pokazalo kadry ulic zarechnoj, dovol'no malo
razrushennoj chasti Groznogo, gde po ulicam svobodno hodjat
vooruzhennye bojcy opolchenija. V to zhe vremja utverzhdaetsja, chto v
severnom sektore Groznogo (komandujuschij gen. Lev Rohlin,
vospetyj v fil'me Nevzorova) ne ostalos' ni odnogo celogo
doma. Krome severnogo, suschestvuet esche zapadnyj sektor generala
Ivana Babicheva.
Stoit otmetit', chto ozhidavshegosja mnoj razrushenija struktur
GRAZhDANSKOJ vlasti v Chechne posle padenija dvorca ne proizoshlo.
Ja ne ozhidal, chto chechency prekratjat voennoe soprotivlenie, no
dumal, chto tonkie struktury sovremennogo gosudarstva, i bez
togo oslablennye malokompetentnym dudaevskim rukovodstvom, ne
vyderzhat etogo udara i zamenjatsja kulachnym pravom. Odnako etogo
ne sluchilos': pohozhe, chto zhizn' v gorodah (ne govorja uzhe o
selah) respubliki sohrjanjaet tu zhe neskol'ko lihoradochnuju
reguljarnost', kotoruju ona imela pri "mirnom" periode
dudaevskogo pravlenija. V den' padenija dvorca soobschalos', chto
groznenskie gazoviki geroicheskimi usilijami, pod obstrelami
lataja truby, podderzhivajut esche podachu gaza v doma gorozhan. Uzhe
neskol'ko nedel' (primerno s novogo goda) gaz - edinstvennoe
blago civilizacii v Groznom: elektrostancii obschego pol'zovanija
(ne voennye dvizhki) razrusheny, zabornyj punkt vodoprovoda
snachala razrushen, a potom zahvachen russkimi. Esli sud'ba reshit
tak, chto Chechnja ostanetsja v sostave Rossii, kogda-to russkij
parlament prisvoit gorodu s bol'shoj bukvy G zvanie
"Gorod-geroj".
Cherez Mozdok v Chechnju vse gonjat popolnenija. Aleksandr Evtushenko
(kompetentnyj zhurnalist "Komsomolki" i "Svobody") zafiksiroval
pribytie v zonu ekipazhej podvodnyh lodok(!). Vojna vyhodit na
kakuju-to svoju inercionnuju liniju i nachinaet zhit'
samostojatel'noj zhizn'ju.
V Moskve sostojalsja ocherednoj miting protesta (organizatory -
"Memorial" i Demvybor). Nesmotrja na malochislennost' "zvezd" (a
mozhet i blagodarja etomu) naroda bylo dovol'no mnogo - tysjachi
tri-chetyre (kto pomnit 100.000 na mitingah protiv bojni v
Vil'njuse, tjazhko vzdohnut). Kachestvennyj sostav tozhe uluchshilsja
- prakticheski ne bylo, po krajnej mere kak organizovannoj
sily, fashistov. Mezhdu rjadovymi demokratami i kommunistami na
etot raz pochti ne voznikali spory. Mnogie kommunisty revnivo
otmechali, chto demokraty vse esche ne gotovy otstupit'sja ot
El'cina, no bolee ohotno shli na dialog, osnovnaja massa
uchastnikov (demokratov) byla nastroena bolee reshitel'no.
Vmeste s tem milicija pytalas' prepjatstvovat' pojavleniju javno
antiel'cinskih lozungov (plakat "Bandu El'cina pod sud" byl
udalen). Iz besedy s podpolkovnikom milicii, predstavivshimsja
kak zamnachal'nika rajotdela, u menja slozhilos' vpechatlenie, chto
oni imejut instrukcii dopuskat' takie vyskazyvanija tol'ko na
mitingah kommunistov (u nas ved' pri zaprose razreshenija na
miting predstavljajutsja v meriju primernye teksty lozungov).
Stol' pozitivnaja atmosfera byla svjazana s tem, chto miting
nachalsja (i napolovinu sostojal) iz zaupokojnyh sluzhb po
pogibshim - pravoslavnoj i musul'manskoj. Eto ochen' sil'no
zadalo nastroenie - traurnoe i gnevnoe - i otsejalo mnogih
huliganov. Po krajnej mere slova "zhidy prokljatye" na etot raz
proiznosilis' pochti shepotom.
Byli i rechi. Sergej Kovalev rasskazal, chto v kontroliruemoj
federalami chasti goroda proizvoditsja "ochistka" podvalov i
t.p., prichem vse muzhchiny zabirajutsja v Mozdok i mnogie tam
rasstrelivajutsja. Predstavitel'nica Sojuza soldatskih materej
soobschila, chto bolee nedeli net svedenij o sud'be predsedatelja
Sojuza Marii Kirbasovoj, nahodivshejsja v Groznom. Zdes' stoit
otmetit', chto Sojuz - vidimo, edinstvennaja v Rossii real'no
pravozaschitnaja organizacija tipa, horosho izvestnogo na Zapade -
ne issledovatel'skij centr, kak komissija Kovaleva, a
struktura, rabotniki kotoroj vyvodjat zhalobschikov na advokatov,
pomogajut obobschat' praktiku poiska zakonnyh putej zaschity
interesov i lazeek v zakone, kogda eto ne poluchaetsja, nakonec,
konsolidirujut iski, chto krajne vazhno v uslovijah bednosti
bol'shinstva istcov. Generaly strashno ih nenavidjat. (Ja ne
govorju nichego plohogo o komissii Kovaleva, ja prosto
konstatiruju raznicu v podhode).
O sud'be svobody pressy - vidimo, zavtra.

Dear IR-ISRAEL-folks,
This posting is sent by me only to "Israel-subset" of my info-russ
subscribers. Can anyone of you send in a good detailed report
of that most recent bombing in Israel by palestinians? If you can
also (or separately) make a concise, no-nonsense, down-to-the-point
review of current situation between Israel and palestinians in
general, it would be great. Most desirable is to keep the report
to reasonable length (2-5 kb); after all, more than one posting
can be published. Send your postings directly to

A suicide bomber detonated two powerful explosives near a bus stop
crowded with Israeli soldiers on Sunday, killing 18 people and wounding
about 60 in an attack claimed by Islamic militants.
Soldiers' kit bags and jackets, many of them bloodstained, lay on the
road after the blast. Emergency teams administered electric shocks to try
to revive three victims.
Bodies lay on the pavement, including an elderly man whose legs had
been blown off. Some were covered by white body bags.
Police sources and Israel Radio put the death toll at 18. Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin rushed to the scene and said most of the dead and
wounded were soldiers.
Many of the dead were members of a unit deployed to guard bus stops,
especially on Sundays when they are crowded with troops returning from
weekend furloughs.
"I got up, and people were screaming. From my experience in the army,
it was a very big bomb," said Moshe Zarian, a warden at a nearby prison,
as he wiped blood from a woman victim off his uniform.
The prime minister said the two explosions were about three minutes
apart. The first erupted near a snack bar, or kiosk, and soldiers began
chasing a man. The suicide attacker then set off an even more powerful
bomb strapped to his body.
"There is no doubt in my mind that this action now is another attempt
by the extreme Islamic terror groups to achieve their dual goal of killing
Israelis and halting the peace process," said Rabin.
He called an emergency Cabinet meeting for Sunday evening that was
expected to consider possible responses.
Entrances to the occupied territories were sealed and cars were
searched.
A helicopter hovered over the bombing site, and police searched
orchards near the side of the highway. Officers detained about 50 Arab
laborers around the site for questioning.
An anonymous caller to news offices in the Palestinian self-rule area
of the Gaza Strip said that the attack was the responsibility of the
Islamic Jihad, or Islamic Holy War organization, a small radical offshoot
of the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas.
The blast occurred across the street from Ashmoret Prison, where Sheik
Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, has been serving a life
sentence since 1989 for ordering the killing of Israeli informants and
other activities against the occupation.
The claim did not follow the usual pattern of a written statement or
video announcing the name of the suicide attacker. Islamic militants
opposed to the Israel-PLO accord have carried out a series of similar
attacks inside Israel, including a Tel Aviv bus bombing in October that
claimed 22 lives.
The bombs were believed to be built by a fugitive Palestinian chemist
and member of Hamas named Yehia Ayash, and nicknamed "The Engineer." In a
similar bombing in the northern city of Hadera in April, police discovered
the second bomb before it went off.
Witnesses said the wooden snack bar was shattered and the plexiglass
coverings of bus shelters were blown out. Three cars were also wrecked.
Israel's Cabinet interrupted a critical debate on the future of Jewish
settlements, and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin rushed to the scene. The
debate had been provoked by Palestinian protests of settlement expansions
in the occupied West Bank.
Rabin toured the bombing site surrounded by jittery bodyguards, while a
few spectators heckled him with shouts of "How much longer?"
Opposition Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu said the government
was not doing enough to combat terrorist attacks.
Other ministers in Rabin's Cabinet that such attacks were the cost of
trying to change the history of the region.
"We have to grit our teeth and go on," said Shulamit Aloni, minister of
communications. She said attempts by the settlers to keep the West Bank
would create a binational state that would have to cope with such attacks
forever.
Ahmed Tibi, an adviser to PLO leader Yasser Arafat, issued a statement
in Arafat's name condemning the attack and the killing of civilians.
Top Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath said the timing of the bombing
on the morning of a key Cabinet debate meant it was clearly an attempt to
undermine Israel-PLO peace talks.
"This is a criminal event that one cannot find enough words to
condemn," he said.
Government spokesman Uri Dromi said that the Palestinian self-rule
government had to show a tougher attitude toward those carrying out such
attacks.
"The delusion that we can forever harness the support of Israelis to
the peace process when this is what we get from the Palestinians is
dangerous," Dromi told The Associated Press.
The 9:30 a.m. blast occurred at the Beit Lid junction, also known as
the Sharon junction, near the coastal town of Netanya. The site is about
19 miles northeast of Tel Aviv and 6 miles from the West Bank.
"There was a group of people around the snack bar, and they flew into
the air from the blast. I saw parts of their bodies. Many people were
injured. It's a very horrible sight," a witness named Eitan said on army
radio.
The last major bombing was on Dec. 25, when an Islamic militant laden
with explosives blew himself up as he tried to board a Jerusalem bus
crowded with soldiers. He was killed and several Israelis were slightly
injured. (Jews-News Subscriber Submission from the AP)

To: info-russ@smarty.ece.jhu.edu
Status: O
Dear IR-subscribers,
answering coordinator's appeal for a concise review of the recent
after-bombing situation, I would like to suggest you few remarks.
1. Almost everybody feels that some red line has been crossed.
2. The president (Weizmann) directly intervened amd made an
unusual statement calling to stop and revise both peace process with
palestinians and talks with Syria. It is clear now that president's
call for unity couldn't turn into the government of national unity -
both government and opposition rejected the idea. For Rabin, that would
mean to stop the Oslo process i.e. to commit political suicide while
for Netaniahu that would be getting responsibility without taking full
control.
3. Rabin's immediate reaction was a multiple use of the term "separation
between israelis and palestinians" which may mean whatever you want
including withdrawal from Judea and Samaria. The goverment closed the
territories for a few days and decided against an extended closure.
4. As far as I could judge by yesterday talk shows and today radio broadcasts
substantial majority (including some ministers)
supports the idea of presenting some kind of ultimatum
to Arafat. Gaza is a safe heaven for terrorists, none of the people committed
teracts had been extradite as Oslo accord implies etc. Either Arafat coud
curb the terrorist activity or he is not in control so the talks are empty.
My personal opinion is that Rabin will not do that so that
such a bloody balagan will continue until the next elections which he'll loose.

Grachev na press-konferencii v Mozdoke (uzhe, vprochem, paru
dnej nazad) nazval S.Kovaleva "gadom", a S.Jushenkova laskovo
"gadenyshem". Sluzhba ohrany kompleksa CK KPSS (nyne
Administracii Prezidenta) prekratila vydachu propuskov na vhod v
rabochij kabinet Kovaleva po ego zajavkam. Segodnja NTV pokazalo,
kak vooruzhennaja avtomatami ohrana Staroj ploschadi izbivaet
zhurnalistov, pytajuschihsja vzjat' interv'ju u K pri ego vyhode iz
pod'ezda. Interv'ju vzjat' vse zhe mozhno, no tol'ko za predelami
"korolevskogo domena", na territorii, kontroliruemoj moskovskoj

Mer Luzhkov na svoej press-konferencii skazal, chto emu izvestno
o dokumentah Sluzhby Bezopasnosti Prezidenta takogo soderzhanija:
"Opirajas' na vooruzhennye formirovanija moskovskih bankov,

Segodnja v moskovskoe bjuro "Radio Svoboda" pozvonil Dudaev.

prisylki mezhdunarodnyh nabljudatelej. A na okkupirovannoj

dejstvitel'no ne mozhet pred'javit' zametnoe kolichestvo chechenskih
plennyh, a v raznuzdannom potoke agitpropa nachisto otsutstvuet
tema "ljubov' naselenija k sovetskomu voinu", stol' populjarnaja v
Afgane. Chto bolee chem nastorazhivaet.
Segodnja tema "ukrainskie naemniki v Chechne" priobrela
neozhidannyj oborot: na Ukrainu privezli "cinki" s
ukraincami-kontraktnikami rossijskoj 98 aviadesantnoj divizii
(5 oficerov - nachinaja ot polkovnika - i odin soldat).
Prezident Bashkirii Murtaza Rahimov vsled za Chuvashskim Fedorovym
izdal ukaz o nekonstitucionnosti vojny v Chechne, o pravovoj

pravitel'stva RF, protivorechaschie zakonodatel'stvu RF, ne dolzhny
sozdavat' dlja grazhdan Bashkirii pravovyh posledstvij". Rahimov
prokommentiroval perspektivu otmeny etogo ukaza (kak
fedorovskogo) prezidentom RF: "V strane, gde ministr mozhet
beznakazanno nazyvat' deputatov gadenyshami, a Kovaleva

Subject:INFO-RUSS:cry of a REAL Russian
Status: O
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear folks,
Below is a msg from a "REAL Russian patriot" (the title of "Subject:"
line above is mine). It is long; the poor fellow kept accumulated
his grievances for three years (he's got no time to unsubscribe from
this stinking news-group for all that period; who knows, he was probably
fatally hypnotized by those stinking coordinator&Co, with screwed up
"5th paragraph", like a rabbit in front of snake...). Three years of a
life of a brilliant intellect, wasted for nothing... But now the time
has came for him to see the truth and tell it to the world. I've read
his msg through, and decided, what the heck, I will publish it. No, no,
not to try to have a "balanced" coverage; no way I can rehabilitate
myself in the eyes of REAL Russian patriots; no hopes here, sigh:-). It
is just that I want to give you a little glimps of what is there behind the
scene (if you haven't not seen it before:-). Our REAL Russian patriot is
not alone, he is right about it; there are quite a few of them out there;
and some of them use much more explicit language and ideas -- not very
original, mind you, but attractive to them, anyway. (His arguments,
by the way, are pretty mild compared to some other REAL Russ-patriots.)
At some point that strange Mexican fellow, Alejandro Nalpak, even wrote his
little dark fantasy about them, so let me not dwell on the subject here.
(Those who are interested, may also refer to "Main Kampf" by another
esteemed scholar.) So, please go ahead and indulge yourself in intellectual
fiest. I have to note though, that my bandwidth is strained already and I
cannot afford a discussion of this posting below by the esteemed REAL
Russian patriot. First, let me remind you that IR-net is not a discussion
club, second -- my bandwidth, third -- the REAL Russian patriot is leaving
us by unsubscribing from this dirty net (now, it is YOUR turn to cry!);
see his statement at the end of his msg. Don't be afraid, when replying
to him, to use (this time only) a "reply" mode with the copy sent to
info-russ, they will be screened out, no big trouble -- after all, can
I have a little intellectual fiest, too, reading your scholarly replies?
Best,
--Alex Kaplan, INFO-RUSS owner/coordinator
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok folks! I think enough is enough! I suppose I am associated with a
wrong group which I joint almost three years ago attracted by an
advertisement about a PhysTech list, trying to find some of my friends
who are abroad now. But it looks like just a few PhysTechs has ever heard
about this Group (Good for them!) and since that several times I
wanted to unsubscribe but I was to lazy to do so keeping cleaning up my
e-mail box from the garbage messages mostly related to the "poor Jews"
topic together with cheering up and congratulations before Khanukah
(sorry for misspelling) and other definitely not Russian holidays. What
about News? From your group I know perfectly what's going on in Israel
but not in Russia.
The Chechnya war was the final drop I suppose. So much disinformation
like I read here about this war I could not even remember from the old
Brezhnev's mass media. Or this is called just another point of view
(tochka zreniya prostogo parnya Alika)? So where is the first one? I
remember the only one message broadcasted from the Burkov's
Sovokinform net that was different. The rest was just garbage trying
to convince people about some kind of fighting for freedom over there
(in Chechnya I mean). Why then you call the same kind of islamic
militants who blow Israeli soldiers up in occupied territories
terrorists? Or it's just because they are BAD by definition and
Israeli are just GOOD by the same definition. And now Russians who
faced the same kind of problem in Chechnya are again just BAD? Maybe
you just don't remember or do NOT want to remember how it started:
Just two examples in order to be brief: some of you could probably
recall several recent hijacking of buses with hostages (full of
children in one case, BTW) by criminals who demanded weapon and money
for their safe return. Where to these criminals were trying to escape
after they got what they demanded? That's correct: to Chechnya! And
why? Because the leader of "freedom fighters" Jokhar Dudaev announce
that he will shot down any Russian MVD helicopter that crosses
Chechnya border in order to catch the mentioned above criminals. What
about the threat to blow the Russian nuclear stations up? I am not
even talking that all trains passing through Chechnya were looted on a
permanent routine basis, that Chechnya became the major spot in
Russian federation for illegal arm trade and drug trafficing. How is
it called? If it were between the US and some Banana Republica it
would've been called "the state sponsored terrorism" but because it's
between Russia and Chechnya it's called "the fighting for
freedom". You could say that this is the Russian propaganda. I doubt
it very much, but at least it's the same kind of propaganda that
allowed the US to invade the INDEPENDENT state of Panama in order to
overthrow the legitimate president of INDEPENDENT state. You could say
that most of the people of Panama supported the American
invasion. Wrong again! Accidentally, I happen to be in Panama just
before the invasion started and had an opportunity to heard the
opinion of ordinarry people (not the people interviewed by CNN who are
in the middle of the jungle happened to talk on a perfect English even
without accent). So I could say that the people there just hated
Americans. The only difference that the US did everything much better
then our clumsy generals: they did not arm the Noriega with modern
weapon just before the invasion and they did not send boys to be a
cannon meat there but professional killers.
It was also a lot of crap here on the net about civilian casualties.
You know how a provincial Russian town look like? It's mostly
"khruchoby" built in rows and columns. What do you think happen if you
put a cannon between two "khruchobs" and this cannon got hit by the
"savage" Russian missile? Both neighboring buildings would be
partially destroed even if it is a very smart laser guided misile.
You could blame it on Russian "barbarians" who are trying to demolish
civilian population or you could say that it's Chechens fighters who
try to use civilians as a shield against Russian jets, it's just the
matter of taste. But it's neigher of them it's just a savage war
that's going on there! Or chechens who move at night from one position
to another on "Zhiguli" with trunk full of weapon and got killed by
"savage" Russians who are they civilians or soldiers?
Some time ago the very active coordinator of this group started a
compain to sign a letter to your President in order to condemn the
imperialist Russia (sounds very familiar, probably some komsomol
skills are still alive) and to ask to freeze economical help to
Russia. I would sign the second part: keep your "American aid" in your
ass. It's not advertized loudly, but I think most of you know what
kind of financial help America offered to Russia. Is it a pure money?
Not at all, almost no money as they are were given to Russia. Most of
this aid is credits that are paid to mostly American Consulting (!?)
companies or to farmers in order to give Russia an advise (!?) how to
live in the first case or to subsidize its own agriculture in the
second. And Russian future generations will be endebted forever for
this "American aid". And you probably know that in order to get this
aid Russia had to cancel several contracts with India and Iran (in the
area of arm trade, nuclear power station development, short range
missile technology and so on) which could bring to Russia much more
"pure" money then all this Western aid. I think the sooner Russia
understands that it should stop asking America how to live the better.
Now some words how many Russian support the invasion in Chechnya: your
(and CNN) calculations: 80% of Russians do NOT support the invasion. I
have another information from my freinds in Moscow: 80% of Moscovits
support the invasion. But I think both of them are wrong, most of the
people just don't care they are too occupied by everyday routine to
pay attention to whatever is going on around until it hits them. But
the common mood is likely to be close to "Davno pora!". At least, I
could say that all Russians whom I know here in Toronto support the
invasion. Of course, I am talking about people from Universities or
other research organizations (post-docs, Ph.D. students, professors,
most of them are PhysTechs, BTW) and I did not ask anybody from our
refugee populated area (like Braiton Beach in New York) I just don't
know them.
Finally, let me speculate on what would happen if Russia withdraws its
troops from Kavkaz region. You think it will stop the bloodshed?
Everybody who at least once visited Kavkaz knows that these little
tribes that inhabitates Kavkaz hate each other much more then they
hate Russians (Could you recall the recent Ositino-Ingush conflict?)
and I am sure that ten times more people will be killed if Russia
leaves. And first among them would be Armenians and Georgians because
they are Christians over there. You could remember what happen when
during the turmoil of the first World War and Red Revolution Russians
left Kavkaz: 3 million of Armenian were slaughtered by the Turkish
Army. Have you ever heard about this holocaust or it is not in your
School program? Why you think both Armenian and Georgian leaders
support (even CNN translated the official statement of Shevardnadze)
the invasion and they still have Russian troops on their territory?
Because they had enough from these Dudaev's "freedom fighters" and
they know who would be the next target when Russians leave. And I am
sure, guys you will change your opinion dramatically when these
"freedom fighters" from Chechnya start blowing Israelies and Americans
up. Do you remember your Afgan freinds (also former "freedom
fighters", I suppose) who recently set a bomb in World Trade Center?
Sorry, it was too long but "nabolelo slushat'" this ballshit which is
supposed to the only opinion of so called Russian community abroad.
I hope Mr.Coordinator finds a place in his very busy group to place
another point of view but actually I don't care since I am
unsubscribing.

Hi Everyone!!!! I will be returning to Pyatigorsk this summer and staying

of some inexpensive housing in the area. I would appreciate any advice or
contacts. When I go, I would be happy to take letters or small packages
with me to the area. Just let me know. I will be leaving in the middle of
May and stay till the beginning of August. Thank You!!!

ATTENTION Massachusetts residents (and other lovers of Russian poetry)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Boris Chichibabin memorial meeting will be on Saturday, Jan.28, at 2 PM
in the Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva, 50 Sawyer Ave, Somerville, MA 02144
(on Tufts University territory). (617) 666-3451.
Organized by Marina Katzeva. With participation of Naum Korzhavin, Leonid
Epshtein (poets), Renata Mukha (poet from Ukraine), M. Kogan (physicist, a
friend of C.), etc.
Spravki: 1) Boris Chichibabin - Russian poet, lived in Harkov, Ukraine.
Spent many years in Stalin camps. Wrote excellent poetry with
Christian and humanistic motifs, against anti-Semitism. Was
never published in the Soviet time, but many of his poems were
quite well known, some - as songs of Petr Starchek (like "Ne
verya krovnomu zavetu", "Ot severnyh bolot", etc). He however,
unlike Starchek, never was a "professional" dissident. (If I
made any mistakes, corrections welcome). He died 2 months ago.
2) Tsvetaeva's Museum in Somerville. This is a private museum; it occupies
a small house in Tufts. There is a lot of various memorial items, original
graphics and paintings, rare book editions, photos, etc. Also there are
materials on other Russian poets, mostly photos, books and publications.
The creator of the museum is Marina Katzeva. All this stuff she brought
here from the USSR (not so long ago).
She organizes here periodically cultural events, poetry readings, etc.
given by Vladimir Kupchenko, literaturoved (don't know the correct transla-
tion of this word), the first director of the House of the Poet in Koktebel.
I'm posting this announce here, because information about the Museum's
events (and just about it's existence!) is not widely available. At least
I, living in Somerville myself almost 3 years, learn about this Museum only
now and sorry how much I've missed.
Anna.

Status: O
Terrorist Attack in Israel
1. Facts: two explosions one after other; at least 18 killed,
15 of them - soldiers, majority 18-20 years old. More than 50 injured,
some of them are likely to die in several days.
2. Commentary: great professionalism. First explosion was used to gather
people, the second was highly effective.
3. Tendency: professionalism and industial base of massacres grow. The
previous attack at Dizengoff center was the first using TNT (industrial
explosive used by regular armies). Before home-made explosives, gas baloons
etc were used. Now we see advanced technics.
4. Roots: attacks achieve their goal - each one is followed by new anti-
jewish actions of the government. Namely, after each attacks there are new
deceisions to suffocate settlements in Judea, Samaria and Gaza with pretend
of 'separation' between arabs and jews. In the evening after the attack
the government freezed ALL the development of the Territories.
5. Why it didn't happen before?
- it was difficult to obtain advanced weapons without statehood; Palestinian authority provided this.
- it was difficult to prepare anything without being reported to Security
Services by neighbours. After all killers of 'collaborationists' were
freed from prisons and Palestinian authority with great care finds and
kills everybody who gave information to us, we can't receive such
information more.
- there was lack of trained people. After liberating all the murderers
and bringing additional murderers ( for strengthening Palestinian police
and as returning refugees) there's no such lack more.
6. What can be done?
I think, points 4 and 5 give the answer on this question.
No police measures can help. No separation will cause anything but
further (up to total) destruction.

Hi, folks!
Vesti s polej: po soobscheniju edinstvennogo ostajuschegosja v Groznom
zhurnalista (CNN), vozobnovilsja iskljuchitel'no ozhestochennyj
obstrel juzhnoj chasti goroda. Aviacija uporno bombila poselok v 5
km juzhnee goroda, i na ego ulicah nachalis' boi.
Mezhdunarodnyj Krasnyj Krest soobschil, chto Rossija zajavila o 56
plennyh, no chto MKK ne smog ih uvidet'.
Sovet bezopasnosti pri prezidente Rossii vysoko ocenil rabotu
Gracheva i vynes emu blagodarnost'. V to zhe vremja v apparate
Soveta cirkuliruet doklad, gde kritike podvergaetsja i
ministerstvo (Grachev vprochem ne nazvan), glavkomaty (osobenno
Suhoputnyh vojsk) i krajne nizko ocenivaetsja podgotovka "tak
nazyvaemyh <> vojsk" (kavychki dokumenta). Vvidu chego
vnov' mussiruetsja ideja osoboj armii Prezidenta RF i massovyh
promerok "lojal'nosti, boevoj i gosudarstvenno-politicheskoj
podgotovki armii". Stoit obratit' vnimanie na neologizm
"gosudarstvenno-politicheskaja podgotovka"!
V Dume vmesto namechennogo impichmenta Gracheva po iniciative
Rybkina zanjalis' impichmentom Kovaleva (kak utverzhdajut dumskie
istochniki, po pros'be E). Lajalis' sil'no, pozicija Kovaleva
oslabljalas' otsutstviem u nego otveta na obvinenija v molchanii
po povodu oktjabrja 1993. Golosov dlja otstranenija dolzhno ne
hvatit' (prodolzhenie travli - v pjatnicu), no vse eto dovol'no
ploho.
Podtverdilos', chto preslovutyj flag RF v Groznom nikuda ne
vodruzhalsja. Ruiny dvorca prostrelivajutsja s obeih storon, i
samoubijc ne nashlos'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Predstavitel' MVD po svjazjam s pressoj soobschil segodnja, chto
zasechki
na priklade vintovok o kolichestve likvidirovannyh vragov soldaty
nazyvajut "nash otvet Kovalevu" i dobavil, chto samyj mjagkij epitet k
slovu "pravozaschitnik" - "gnida". Luchezarno ulybajuschijsja Grachev na
svoej press-konferencii podtverdil, chto za operaciju teper'
otvechaet Erin (MVD). "O Kovaleve ja skazal neskol'ko
neparlamentskie slova, za chto gotov izvinit'sja, no po soderzhaniju
mne korrektirovat' nechego". Bodroe nastroenie ministra svjazano s
vysokoj ocenkoj ego zaslug pered Rodinoj so storony E. Grachev
soslalsja prosto na "vysokuju ocenku", no, po neoficial'noj
informacii iz ministerstva, prezident nazval plan vzjatija Groznogo
"prekrasnym", a rukovodstvo Gracheva - "zasluzhivajuschim vysochajshej
ocenki". "Vmeste s tem stoit otmetit', chto mnogie vysshie oficery -
ot zamestitelej ministra, glavkomov i komandujuschih okrugami do
generalov na meste sabotirovali etot plan, i s nimi neobhodimo
razobrat'sja" - tak istochnik peredaet slova E.
Vchera v Voronezhskoj oblasti vzorvalsja odin vagon v sostave s
boepripasami, sledovavshimi v Chechnju. Detonacii drugih vagonov chudom
ne sluchilos'.
Proizoshla utechka informacii ob ugolovnom dele novonazanachennogo
ministra finansov (posle "chernogo vtornika" v oktjabre) V.Panskova.
On, kstati, vveden sejchas v sostav Soveta bezopasnosti -

*********************************************************************
Hi, folks!
Vchera i segodnja russkaja aviacija ozhestochenno bombila i pochti polnost'ju
razrushila Bamut, Arshty, a takzhe Achhoj-Martan. Sela eti byli perepolneny
bezhencami iz Groznogo. Kolichestvo zhertv, vozmozhno, prevysilo 100 chelovek.
Kak vy, verojatno, znaete, vchera sovetskaja PVO soobschila o perehvate boevoj
rakety, zapuschennoj s norvezhskoj territorii. Raketa okazalas' ne boevoj, a
meteorologicheskoj, ne byla sbita, a glavnoe - i tochka starta, i tochka
padenija, i vsja traektorija nahoditsja dalee 1500 km ot rossijskih granic.
Sjuzhet segodnja imel prodolzhenie:E zajavil v Lipecke, chto privel v dejstvie
vchera "chernyj chemodanchik s knopkoj", povtoril vyrazhenie "perehvatili" (iz
konteksta bylo jasno, chto smysl etih slov ot nego uskol'zaet) i
poblagodaril voennyh za bditel'nuju sluzhbu. "Pust' na Zapade ne dumajut,
chto nas mozhno vzjat' na ispug".
Gavriil Popov, velikolepno znajuschij obychai Staroj ploschadi, prognozy i
ocenki kotorogo o dejatel'nosti staroj i novoj nomenklatury obychno
opravdyvalis', vyskazal segodnja predpolozhenie, chto porazhenie armii i
pozor nuzhny Kremlju dlja podgotovki obschestvennosti k novomu 37 godu sredi
voennyh. Po ego mneniju, ne igraet roli, kakoj harakter budet imet'
nedovol'stvo - vozmuschenija zhestokost'ju ili nedovol'stva nereshitel'nost'ju.
Po-vidimomu, Grachev budet sohranen, a energija nedovol'stva nizshego zvena
i naroda obraschena na generalov.
Segodnja Kozyrev vstrechalsja s komitetom Dumy po mezhd. delam. On
"blagodaren vsem pravitel'stvam, ne poshedshim na povodu u obschestvennosti,
podogretoj televizionnymi kadrami". Naibol'shee ponimanie my vstretili u
Indii i Kitaja. On otkazalsja kommentirovat' vyskazyvanija Gracheva, no
surovo osudil ego nemeckogo kollegu i otmetil, chto "voennye byvajut
raznye".
Sergej Kovalev vstrechalsja s Chernomyrdinym. Posle vstrechi on skazal, chto
uezzhaet v Mozdok, ne dozhidajas', chto reshit Duma po ego "personal'nomu
delu".
Na brifinge v MVD vysokie policejskie chiny opjat' rasskazyvali o naemnikah
i "belyh kolgotkah" (zhenschinah-snajperah iz Pribaltiki). "Byl unichtozhen
celyj ih batal'on". "Da vot tol'ko za neskol'ko minut do nashego priezda
soldaty ubili odnu; tam tol'ko krovavaja luzha ostalas'; my govorim -
dokumenty - kakie dokumenty? Tam v etoj luzhe volos byl belyj. Esli ne
krashenaja - znachit, iz Pribaltiki" - projavil poznanija v etnografii
milicejskij general.
Vozle Hasav'jurta sostojalsja nakonec obmen plennymi (46-48 chelovek). Tak
chto chechenskie plennye vse zhe est'. Mezhdunarodnyj Krasnyj Krest, kotoryj
ne mozhet poluchit' k nim dostup i opasaetsja za ih sostojanie, v to zhe vremja
zaregistriroval i vzjal pod opeku russkih plennyh, pravda, vsego desjat'.
Na protjazhenii bolee chem nedeli postupajut soobschenija o nachale haoticheskoj
zhestokoj vojny vseh protiv vseh v severnoj Chechne, pervonachal'no
druzhestvennoj Rossii i vrazhdebnoj Dudaevu. Prichina - kak ozloblenie
naselenija protiv beschinstv federal'nyh vojsk, snachala prinjatyh kak
sojuzniki, tak i prosachivanie neorganizovannyh grupp boevikov. Streljajut v
russkih, streljajut chechency mestnye v prishlyh, streljajut vernye raznym
boevym komandiram. Imenno otsjuda idet bol'shinstvo soobschenij ob
iskljuchitel'noj zhestokosti storon, pytkah, ubijstvah i nadrugatel'stvah.
Oficial'nye vlasti etih prorossijskih rajonov, terjajuschie (poka ne
fatal'no) podderzhku, otchajanno pytajutsja dobit'sja ot vojsk priemlemogo
povedenija (hotja by chtoby soldaty ne hodili v chernyh maskah), no ne
preuspeli v etom.
Ja vse pytajus' opredelit', chto sobytija utratili naprjazhennost', i perejti k
pisaniju pisem raz v neskol'ko dnej, no uvy, poka ne poluchaetsja.

Oi-vei, what an ooops! The phone number of Tsvetaeva's Museum
at Somerville MA, where shell be that Boris Chichibabin's memorial
meeting, is TOTALLY INCORRECT. One kind scs-er noticed this.
The correct number is: (617) 666-3142.
He also worried about advanced tickets booking. Don't worry - there is such
a politics that ALL visitors are wellcome, unlike many Russian concerts,
when if you failed to get a ticket - you failed to hear the performance.
I don't know, is it free or for a symbolic fare (suppose that free). The
meeting is just a way to honor a departed poet, and no people could be
rejected.
Sorry again for that trouble with the phone. Wait you in 50 Sawyer Av.
on Jan. 28 at 2 PM.

Hello, everybody.
I have heard that a high efficient light lamp working on Sulphur vapor
with pumping provided by a microwave discharge was lately developed in the
United States. (On Russian: " Svetovaya lampa s vysokim k.p.d. s
ispol'zovaniem parov sery v kachestve izluchatelya, nakachka
osuschestvlyaetsya razryadom v mikrovolnovoj oblasti")
Does anybody know about this lamp, and if you do, could you
please provide me with the info where I can read about it?
Any help (the title of an article, an adress, a book, a possible
computer database, or anything) will be highly appriciated.
Here are some key words:
Variant 1 - Sulphur, Microvawe Discharge, Radiation Source.
Variant 2 - Sulphur Lamp, Microvawe Discharge.
If you can help me, please reply to "epoliako@nmsu.edu".
Thank you very much, Evgeni Poliakov.

Russian Mathematics books are of excellent quality and here in Rio de Janeiro

It is very famous worlwide the work of Russian scientists in the field of
stability of differential equations, so I want to get more information on

I would like to get some information on buying Russian technical books by

Hi, folks!
Vozle Groznogo osnovnye boi idut v rajone sela Chernorech'e u
juzhnoj okrainy goroda. Aviacija razrushila Chernorechenskij most, no
etogo okazalos' nedostatochno dlja blokirovanija goroda s

uspehom. Bombili sela po vsej Chechne. Storony gotovjatsja k bojam za

Dagestanskoj granice. Doroga, odnako, vse zhe funkcioniruet.
Duma ne dovela do orgvyvodov delo Kovaleva. Voennye vlasti v
pjatnicu ne dopustili ego soprovozhdat' delegaciju Soveta po
bezopasnosti i sotrudnichestvu v Evrope v rajon konflikta.
Kovalev namerevalsja krome togo proverjat' soobschenija ob obraschenii
s plennymi, o porjadkah v "fil'tracionnom lagere" Mozdok. Vlasti
vsjacheski pooschrjajut v armii razgovory o rasprave s Kovalevym. Nizhe

zahvachen soldatami vmeste s majorom FSK (KGB) iz ingushskogo
regional'nogo upravlenija po familii Hamidov na kvartire Hamidova
1 janvarja. "Snachala derzhali vo dvore. Tuda soldaty pritaschili
bidon spirta. Bili. Potom zatolkali v ljuk." Zatem soldaty
svjazalis' so shtabom na konservnom zavode "general-major
prikazal, chtoby nas rasstreljali - dvazhdy daval prikaz
rasstreljat'. No oficer, kazhetsja Shugaev ego familija, nas ne
rasstreljal - ego potom, uzhe na konservnom vyzyvali, general na
nego oral - chto prikaz ne vypolnil. No eto potom uzhe bylo, kogda
v shtab nas otvezli."
"A togda menja izbili, ruki-nogi kapronovymi zhgutami svjazali i
povezli na perekrestok, k derevu aljuminievoj provolkoj
privjazali". "Nachalsja obstrel. Miny plotno lozhilis'. Oni v okopah
na matrasah lezhali, nabljudali - popadet v menja ili net."
Na doprose: "Pervym zahodil Hamidov, potom Nahaev, tretij ja...
General krichit: Kakie plennye, kakoj dopros? Ja vchera noch'ju dal
prikaz - rasstreljat', zachem vzjali?"
"Potom nas opjat' bili. Potom - snova dopros... <>. Ja emu -
u nas nachal'nik Stepashin. On matom Stepashina. Hamidova zaveli za
ugol, tam komnatka byla i stali ego bit'. Potom tak dali, chto on
vmeste s dver'ju stekljanoj vyletel. Hamidov uzhe krichat' ne mog -
tol'ko stonal. Vidno, po pochkam ego bili, po pecheni i po golove.
Chelovek pjat'-shest' ego bili."
Dalee ih, nadev naruchniki i meshki na golovu, povezli v Mozdok.
"Menja v jaschik... zatolkali prikladami. Kto-to sel mne na ruki i
stal naruchniki davit'... minut cherez pjat' vkljuchili otoplenie i
trubku v meshok mne vveli, gorjachij vozduh stal idti. Oni, vidimo,
i dovezti ne hoteli, i rasstrelivat' ne hoteli".
Po doroge odnogo plennogo dlja razvlechenija vse zhe rasstreljali, po
rasskazam sodat v Mozdoke. Rasskazchik slyshal kriki i strel'bu.
"Plennyh, ili kak my tam nazyvalis', vezli dva BTRa, ja nomera
pomnju K-111 i K-112, i mashiny, Uraly. Na mashiny ljudej ukladyvali
shtabeljami: drug na druga po pjat'-shest' rjadov. Ljudi, chto vnizu,
na dne mashiny byli, sovsem stali zadyhat'sja. Uzhe v Mozdoke, pri
mne, tri ili chetyre trupa iz mashiny vybrosili."
V Mozdoke, v stacionarnom lagere (eto vagon-zaki, stojaschie na
putjah) doprosy prodolzhilis'. Svidetel' sidel vmeste s chechencem,
kotoromu protykali podoshvy nog shtykom.
Pervym na dopros poveli Hamidova. Slyshno, kak sprashivajut, chto
otvechajut i kak b'jut dubinkoj. Byl esche odin Hadzhiev Ruslan -
rabotnik Kredobanka Groznogo. On prosil svjazat' s Avturhanovym -
mol, rodstvennik. Vzjali ego na dopros, on rasskazyvaet, ego
slushajut, vse vrode laskovo, a potom slyshno - udar dubinkoj. Raz,
dva, tri. Esche smeetsja tot, kto bil. On v maske byl."
Potom na dpros priveli svidetelja. "Mne naruchniki nadeli, ruki
nazad. Sprashivajut, kto, chto, pochemu stali korrektirovschikami. Ja
im govorju: Vy zhe mozhete opredelit', kto boec, kto tol'ko chto iz
boja vyshel - eto zhe vidno po glazam cheloveka. Ja vam uzhe skazal,
my ne korrektirovschiki. On mne govorit: ty gladko govorish', ja
tebja sejchas moim ljudjam otdam. Potom obschepoliticheskie voprosy
poshli. Potom naruchniki snjali. Obeschali svjazat'sja s rukovodstvom.
Izvinilis'. No sutki proshli, drugie - nichego. Poka my sidim -
drugih v kameru zakidyvajut. Uznaem, kto i otkuda - vseh vzjali iz
bomboubezhisch, konkretno iz bomboubezhischa konservnogo zavoda i iz
podvalov tozhe. Tam esche bylo troe russkih. Ot nih trebovali
priznanija, chto oni naemniki. I ot menja trebovali, chtoby ja skazal
pro naemnikov. Russkogo strashno bili. Oral, krichal: mama!
Molodoj pacan. Let dvadcat'".
[Vopros: On bez oruzhija byl?]
"Tam vse, krome nas, byli bez oruzhija. Byli esche tri starika.
Odnogo pomnju - storozh konservnogo zavoda Mudaev Jusup. [A pochemu
ego vzjali?] On na konservnom zavode sidel. Berut vse muzhskoe
naselenie. Noch'ju kakie-to kriki razdavalis', ocheredi, vystrely.
[Rasstrelivali?] Ne znaju, ne iz nashego vagona byli. Iz nashego
vagona odnogo vyveli, iz Krasnodara on byl, i bol'she ne zaveli".
"Nu a potom za Hamidovym general FSK priehal i polkovniki. I
menja oni tozhe uvezli. A tret'ego nashego sputnika Aslana Nahaeva
v Mozdoke ne bylo - ne dovezli."

Neskol'ko slov kommentarija.
1. Prinadlezhnost' k FSK - ne zaschita. Chto harakterno, obvinjajutsja
ingushi ne v predatel'stve, chto kak-to soglasovyvalos' by s ih
prinadlezhnost'ju konkurirujuschej strukture, a v tom zhe, v chem vse
rjadovye zhiteli Groznogo - v korrektirovke ognja.
2. Zanjatna eta fiksacija vnimanija na figure korrektirovschika. Bez
mnogochislennyh jurkih korrektirovschikov v nas by ni v zhizn' ne
popali. Rebjata s izumleniem otkryli, chto na vojne ubivajut ne
tol'ko oni, no i ih, i osataneli.
3. Samoe glavnoe: v znachitel'noj stepeni ZhESTOKOST' IDET SVERHU
i, pohozhe, javljaetsja chast'ju osoznannoj politiki. Rech' ne o
stihijnom ozverenii soldat, jakoby po chelovecheski obizhennyh za
tovarischej. Vsjakij soldat na vsjakoj vojne zvereet primerno v toj
stepeni, v kakoj ego pooschrjajut ili ne prepjatstvujut oficery. Tak
vot, iz pokazanij vidno, chto prikaz - ne prepjatstvovat', a
pooschrjat' - idet sverhu.
4. Eto soglasuetsja so svedenijami, chto politotdel gruppy vojsk v
Mozdoke izdaet gazetu, soderzhaschuju necenzurnuju (v oboih smyslah)
versiju rechi Gracheva o Kovaleve i Jushenkove i sostavlennyj v duhe
pis'ma zaporozhcev sultanu otvet Gracheva Rjue. Tam zhe - anonimnye

BOMBARDMENT OF CHECHNYA CONTINUES AS RUSSIA DISMISSES TERROR THREAT
Russian artillery bombardment of Grozny and of towns to the east and
south continued from 27-29 January, Western agencies reported. On 29
January, the Russian government issued an official statement dismissing
as unrealistic Dudaev's threat to extend the war to Russian cities if
the aggression against Chechnya continues, Western media reported. --
Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
AGREEMENT ON OPPOSITION AGAINST CHECHEN WAR SIGNED IN MOSCOW. Various
Russian political and social organizations signed a joint document
denouncing the war in Chechnya on 28 January in Moscow's Parliamentary
Center. The state-owned ITAR-TASS agency reported that 40 organizations
had taken part, but organizers told Russian TV there were 72 groups. The
signatory parties included Russia's Democratic Choice, the Democratic
Party of Russia and the human rights "Memorial" society. Human Rights
Commissioner Sergei Kovalev addressed the session, saying that the
agreement marked the emergence of a civil society in Russia. -- Julia
Wishnevsky, OMRI, Inc.
SURVEY FINDS KORZHAKOV INFLUENCE GROWING. The head of Yeltsin's security
service, General Alexander Korzhakov, ranks number two on a list of the
country's most influential people, according to a survey conducted by
NTV's "Itogy," AFP reported 29 January. Every month the program asks
politicians, political analysts, journalists and other opinion-makers
for their top-ten listings of the country's most influential people,
excluding Yeltsin. Only Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin ranked higher
this time. Korzhakov ranked seventh in October, fourth in November, and
third in December. The survey results reflect a growing perception in
Moscow that Korzhakov has become a dominant figure in the president's
inner circle of advisers. He has been accused of supporting the use of
military force in Chechnya and opposing some aspects of economic reform.
-- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
INSTITUTE SAID DRAFT SITUATION CRITICAL. Manning the armed forces "has
become the most acute problem of Russia's defense capability," according
to Russia's Institute for Social and Political Studies, Interfax
reported on 28 January. The institute cited a demographic crisis in the
country and the large numbers of deferments as causes of the problem.
The report noted that the number of people between the ages of 15 and 19
in the population had dropped by nearly 1.2 million in the past fifteen
years. The law allows so many valid reasons for being deferred that 84%
of draft-age men evaded conscription in 1994, compared to 48% in 1989.
As a result, last spring's draft was said to have brought the armed
forces up to 75% of their desired personnel, with ground forces able to
fill just over half of their billets. -- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.

Dear friend!
We are looking for a possibility to transfer a tiny parcel with a
chemical from Princeton or Los-Angeles to Moscow. It's extremely
difficult to get this reagent in Moscow and it is quite necessary
for performing PhD work, that's why we dare to bother you.
If there would be any occasion to take this reagent from
Anton Greenberg from Princeton and deliver it to Moscow,
please contact Anton
e.mail
or from Los-Angeles - Ilia Zavialov
e.mail
or Inna Danilova e.mail
Thanks a lot and hope to get a support.
With best regards, Inna Danilova

Dear Ones,
I travel to Russia 1 - 2 times per year, and when not involved in my
profession as attorney, indulge in my passion for dogs. I am the owner of
native breeds found in the Soviet Union, specifically, Caucasian Shepherd,
South Russian Sheepdog, and Black Russian Terrier. My husband and I have
founded the national breed club - USA for the Caucasian Shepherd. I am
writing a series of articles about this breed as well as the other native
breeds, and plan (hopefully) to have a book completed by 1996. My request is
for any and all information on these and all breeds native to the former
Soviet Union. Pictures would be greatly appreciated and returned. My postal
address is as follows: Stacey Kubyn, PO Box 745, Painesville, OH 44077;
phone (216) 350-1900; fax (216) 350-1999.
Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this fun endeavor!!
Very truly yours, Stacey Kubyn

Dear folks,
This is an "editorial column". Within last two weeks, info-russ
has been under intensive hacker's attack. First, as you may have
noticed, about a week ago somebody hiding behind an anonymous address
, sent out a few unfriendly msgs distributed
to the most of IR-subscribers, masked as "info-russ" postings, with
the "reply-distributor". It was a fake "info-russ" mail-distributor.
Under expert and greatly helpful guidance from one of my subscribers,
to whom I am very grateful, I was able to fix the problem. Yesterday,
a very nasty line appeared in the header "Apparently-to:" for one of
the msgs. Anybody who knows about originators of these scums, are
encouraged to get the info to me; I promise full confidentiality.
Veterans of info-russ may remember that this was not the first
hacker's attack on info-russ. Beats me why people do that; but I
want them to understand that since I use my computers mostly for
my sponsored research, I'll have, if push come to shove, to request
a help from the appropriate Federal agencies.
Another thing (might be related): after that unsubscription swan-song
of one of our russ-patriotic subscribers I have received a few msgs
from the people who demanded me to broaden the coverage of Real Russ-
Patriotic views of whatever is happening in Russia (and, of course, to
reduce the coverage of anything else). In addition to hate, this kind of
msgs are full of cries for the freedom of the speech and opinions for
their authors. Assuming there still are sufferers from the same syndrome
out there, I want to offer them a little explanation about what this
list is all about ( gosh, how many times have I to do that?!), and
point out a direction for them to pursue their freedom.
(i)This particular group can (technically speaking) be described as
a mailing list. Meaning that this coordinator is under no obligation
to include or not to include anybody in his list, as well as to
to cover or not to cover any subject. And if he does run this list
-- it is his courtesy, charity, donation, compassion, hobby, whatever.
But not an obligation. And he doesn't owe anything to anybody.
(ii) Now, dear Cinderellas of Russ-Patriotism (ANY kind of it), this
coordinator owes you even less. Nobody owes you, for this matter. (Note,
please, that the same is true of any OTHER kinds of Cinderellas.)
And this coordinator doesn't care about your views or opinions about
how the interests of Great Russia can or should be advanced. In fact,
he doesn't care about Great Russia at all. He is a patriot of that
geo-entity no more than of Great (Third) Reich. And the people whom
he cares about in that place, are exactly the kind of people whom you
would gladly put behind barbed wire.
(iii) Yet your freedom of speech in no way is hampered by this coordinator.
This is a free country after all. How do you exercise your freedom? Simple.
Go to another news-group or mailing list. There are zillions of them around
these days. Or even better off: start your own. All these cries of yours
are not about your freedom, it is about your trying to cash "your" freedom
on somebody else's account. Open your own.
(iv) And what this, info-russ list is about? Many things, of course.
But then again, it is not a supermarket, cannot be everything for
everybody. The major objective of this coordinator was and is to help
emigrants and refugees with their needs. Or more precisely -- to give
them a vehicle to help themselves. Any other good people may join
info-russ, they are welcome, as long as the major objectives of IR-list
are OK with them, and if they feel that IR-list can be helpful to them
-- and vice versa. All other subjects and interests came as secondary to
this coordinator (and as his courtesy rather than a commitment). Besides,
he wanted to pay dues to his own dissy-past and that of his friends, and
their memory, and to reflect (not that often, mind you:-) on his own
views of whatever happens in Russia and in the world. And if it is done
by other people, whose style and work he likes, -- he is only happy to
give them his bandwidth. (Even if they are off-the-wall fellas, like
Nalpak, who however disappeared lately; who knows, probably in Chechnya:-).
Recent example -- a brilliant, hardworking and selfless "korr" Alik Suhanov.
And if there is a crisis in Russia -- this coordinator wants to have
all the channels open -- as it happened during both coups in Moscow (and
as is happening now with Chechnya). Why? Because that is where we all
came from, and where most of us still have their families and friends.
The same about Israel -- because Israel is one of the major (along with
the US) countries that absorbed the immigrants from ex-USSR. And because,
yes, Israel is a special place for many of us on this list. If this is an
unusual list (as some point out in their msgs to me), well, the more credit
to it:-). And if somebody doesn't like it -- well, take it or leave it.
(v) Many of you, folks, send this coordinator msgs, which, although not
necessarily unfriendly, have a lot of suggestions as to what YOU want
HIM to do (introduce this new kind of service or that, make sublists,
etc.). For people who try to help him -- gosh, how grateful he is! For
those of you who seek better service for their specific needs: my friends,
with my blessing -- do it YOURSELF. This coordinator is a bit busy the way
it is. Some of you demand his reply -- or else you get angry and demand
a satisfaction. Look, folks, suppose only 5% of you want to suddenly share
with this coordinator your idea as to how you want to arrange his time
and effort; with about 1100 subscribers, it makes 55 msgs for him to
reply to at once. Be reasonable, please. The same if you want to get into
lengthy discussion on ANY subject. Boy, some people try to talk this
coordinator to death, with scholarly postures and infinite followups.
Folks, as anyone of you, he has only 24 hours/day.
That is why, in order to address these situations, there is (for a long
while by now, sigh) this little rule among other 10 Commandments:
------------------------------------------------------------------
(vi) ... If you feel too strongly about something - unsubscribe
and go to another list or START YOUR OWN. Don't lecture this
coordinator how to run this list.
------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone of you is unhappy for whatever reason, feel free to exercise
your freedom of choice within this rule. On his part, this coordinator
will only be happy to have fewer, but more dedicated subscribers; this
list has a bit outgrew his resources. Who are those subscribers?
All the good people on this list. 230+ of you who got a msg from this
coordinator about "mednyi kolokol", are some of them. In reality, he
doubts that his load will go down substantially. Although it is
getting harder and harder, this coordinator suspects that he got
stuck with you, guys, sigh:-).
My very best.

Pro raketu: opublikovan tekst standartnogo opoveschenija ("vsem

Absoljutno tochno ukazan tip rakety, tochka zapuska i

v tom, chto raketa ne vysotno-meteorologicheskaja, a
subballisticheskaja, i eto i vyzvalo "nedoumenie").
Intensivnye boi proishodjat v rajone Gudermesa i Arguna
na vostok ot Groznogo i Samashek na zapad. Vchera vlasti ustami
SHahraja obrushilis' s ugrozami na Ingushetiju, obvinjaja ee v
ukryvatel'stve Dudaeva. Prezident Aushev prokommentiroval eto slovami
"Znachit, SHahraj znaet to, chego ne znaet FSK".
Znachenie Gudermesa pokazyvaet shema zheleznyh dorog v regione
konflikta. Tochkami oboznachena zheleznaja doroga, kotoruju
sejchas usilenno strojat zh/d vojska v gorah Dagestana v obhod

Dear folks:
I am trying to notarize a document (in my case, "Power of Attorney" -
"Doverennost")
so that it would have legal power in Russia. According to Russian
officials, there is
an additional (American) seal that would magically make the document be legal
outside the US.
If anybody has any clue about what this additional seal is, would you
please share
you knowledge with me.
Thanks a lot -- Zhenya
(eugenez@microsoft.com)
P.S. I DO know that this kind of document can be done through a Russian
consulate.
But I am interested in how to obtain that seal from AMERICAN authorities.

Albeit you see "INFO-RUSS" headings above,
this msg is mailed by me only to 230+
signators of our letter regarding Chechnya
war sent by us to Mr. Presidents of
the US and other member of the US
Government, and leaders of Senate and House.
Dear friends-"podpisants",
Within last few days I've received finaly (first) two letters from
the people on our sending list. They came from the office of Deputy
Secretary of State, Mr. Talbot and from the Senator Jesse Helms,
Chairman, Senate Committee of Foreign Relations (and signed by him
personally).
These two letters are drastically (to my unexperienced eye:-) different.
(i)office of Deputy Secretary of State, Mr. Talbot
"We also have serious concerns about the level of violence and the
number of civilian casualties in Chechnya. We have urged the Russians to
do everything possible to minimize the violence, end the suffering, and
preserve the human rights.
HOWEVER, Chechnya is an issue that must be resolved by Russian and Chechen
authorities in a framework that recognizes the territorial integrity of
the Russian Federation and is consistent with international norms"
(ii) Senator Jesse Helms, Chairman, Senate Committee of Foreign Relations
"The violence and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets in Chechnya
is contrary to Russian efforts to continue the development of democratic
processes and institutions. In my opinion the stability of Russia is MORE
threatened by the mass casualties among the civilian population of
Chechnya than by the issue of Russian sovereignty in the region. While
I am aware that the serious differences exist between the Russian
government and leaders in Chechnya, I am gravely disappointed at
President Yeltsyn's decision to respond with violence.
I have met with Elena Bonner, ... who has been a voice for peace in the
Caucasus. She believes the US has failed to make a significant stand
against Russian aggression. I have ALSO raised my concerns with the State
Department.
The fact that the US is currently sending VAST amounts of economic
assistance to Russia is especially troubling. It is reported that the
cost of the invasion to Chechnya is over $1 BILLION. If we continue our
assistance, especially through multilateral lending institutions, an
argument can be made that we are in essence FINANCING the invasion
by subsidizing the Russian government.
The US needs to seriously consider CUTTING OFF financial assistance
to Russia unless President Yeltsyn PURGES his government of hardliners
and renews the process of reform. I have long opposed the giveaway of
hard-earned US taxpayer money to corrupt and inefficient governments.
At the very least, assistance should be based on criteria in the
interests of the United States."
Well, looks like at least Senator Helms fully agrees with our letter...
I am still waiting the letters from other people on our mailing list
(Mr. President including...). Best,
Alex Kaplan

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST No. 24, Part I, 2 February 1995, AK
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WARRANT ISSUED FOR DUDAEV'S ARREST. Russian acting Prosecutor-General
Aleksei Ilyushenko's office issued a warrant for the arrest of Chechen
President Dzhokhar Dudaev on charges of high treason (which carries a
possible death sentence), incitement to terrorism, violation of ethnic
and racial equality, and violation of the law on referendums, Interfax
and ITAR-TASS reported on 1 February. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
FIGHTING IN AND AROUND GROZNY CONTINUES. Russian artillery bombardment
of Grozny continued on 1 February. A Chechen military spokesman denied
claims that Russian forces had succeeded in crossing the Sundzha river
and had established a bridgehead in the southeast of the city, Interfax
reported. During the night of 31 January-1 February, Russian forces also
launched an intensive artillery attack on the village of Samashki, east
of Grozny, on grounds that it was harboring Dudaev supporters, Western
agencies reported. -- Liz Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
GRACHEV REPORTED HOSPITALIZED. Defense Minister Pavel Grachev had been
in the hospital for two days as of 1 February, Postfactum reported. NTV
said a ministry spokesman refused to comment on the report. The
television station noted that "the number of military leaders on sick
leave is growing steadily as the operation in Chechnya goes on." -- Doug
Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
INGUSH DENOUNCES SHAKHRAI. Ingushetia's Vice President Boris Agapov
denounced recent comments by Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Shakhrai,
charging that he and the "power ministers"--military, intelligence, and
police--had "blacklisted the Ingush as a disloyal nation which has
strong separatist feelings," Interfax reported on 1 February. Agapov
warned that some Russian politicians are "looking for a pretext to
influence Ingushetia." Such moves, he claimed, would lead to a spread of
the conflict from Chechnya into Ingushetia. He expressed concern about
the fact that all of the power ministries were directly subordinate to
the president. "At one time [they] were directly subordinate to Stalin.
The result is well known," he said. -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION TO BE FINANCED BY OIL EXPORTS? The Foreign
Economic Relations Ministry has granted a company named Rostoplivo oil
export privileges in order to "finance the programs of the
administrative department of the Presidency," Izvestiya reported on 1
February. The authorities "are secretly creating their own shadow
economy," the article charged. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Oleg
Davydov denied the allegations, saying no new companies had been added
to the list of "special exporters," who handle all Russia's oil exports,
according to ITAR-TASS. The presidential administration also rejected
the claims, saying it had never heard of Rostoplivo, Reuters reported.
In December, Izvestiya caused an uproar by publishing a letter from
presidential security chief Maj.-Gen. Aleksandr Korzhakov to the prime
minister opposing plans to abolish oil export quotas. -- Penny Morvant,

Hi, folks!
V dopolnenie ko vcherashnemu soobscheniju o planah izmenenija prizyvnyh
pravil: otdan prikaz ministra oborony o sozdanii ODNOGODIChNYH
oficerskih shkol. Ochevidno, net nikakih shansov na ih zapolnenie
dobrovol'cami.
Direktrisa Federal'noj migracionnoj sluzhby g-zha T.Regent izdala
prikaz, zapreschajuschij predostavljat' status bezhencev (tochnee,
vynuzhdennyh pereselencev) "licam chechenskoj nacional'nosti".
Korrespondentu "Moskovskih novostej" ona zajavila, chto prikaz
prinjat "pod davleniem sverhu".
Zakony i konvencii, imejuschie silu zakona, kotorye etim narusheny,
mozhno perechisljat' dolgo, i etot perechen' nachinaetsja s Konstitucii
RF, zapreschajuschej dazhe "trebovat' ot grazhdan opredelenija ili
ukazanija svoej nacional'noj [etnicheskoj] prinadlezhnosti".
Zabavno, chto eta stat'ja mozhet byt' priostanovlena pri rezhime ChP
(v otlichie ot takih dejstvitel'no fundamental'nyh svobod, kak
pravo chastnoj sobstvennosti). Vprochem, ChP ne vvodilos'.
Iz sosednih regionov Kavkaza, osobenno Dagestana, prodolzhajut

V Groznyj vozvrascheny batal'ony morskoj pehoty, vyvedennye iz nego

2. Za vojnu, protiv El'cina 12%
3. Protiv vojny, ne protiv E. 15%
4. Za vojnu, ne protiv E. 8%
Dva netrivial'nyh vyvoda: Moskva - samaja militaristskaja gruppa, a

--------------------------------------------------------------------
KULIKOV ON WAR IN CHECHNYA. Fierce fighting continued on 2 February in
southeastern districts of Grozny and in the town of Argun, eight miles to
the east, Western agencies reported. Speaking at a press conference in
Moscow, Col.-Gen. Anatolii Kulikov, commander of the Interior Ministry
troops who have assumed responsibility for the Chechen campaign, stated
that although Russian control has been reasserted over much of Chechnya,
"the turning point has not yet been reached." He predicted a protracted
guerrilla war. Fuller, OMRI, Inc.
COUNCIL OF EUROPE VOTES TO DELAY CONSIDERATION OF RUSSIA'S CANDIDACY. The
Council of Europe voted on 2 February to delay consideration of Russia's
candidacy for membership, according to a CE press spokesman. The conduct of
the Chechen campaign has raised concerns about whether Russia is adhering
to CE principles, which include respect for democracy and human rights. --
Michael Mihalka, OMRI, Inc.
AGENCY DISCRIMINATES AGAINST CHECHEN REFUGEES. The Federal Immigration
Service sent out a telegram to all local services in Russia with
instructions not to register any citizen of Chechen nationality as a
refugee. Moscow News published the text of a telegram which was sent out on
27 December 1994. The chair of the Committee for Aid to Refugees Svetlana
Gannushkina said "this discriminatory measure deprives Chechen refugees of
the right to official attention and aid," Russian TV reported on 2
February. She said the policy is still in effect, and only ethnic Russians
from Chechnya are being registered. -- Robert Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
DUMA DEPUTY MURDERED. The body of State Duma Deputy and businessman Sergei
Skorochkin was found in Moscow Oblast on 2 February, ITAR-TASS reported.
Skorochkin, who was abducted on 1 February, had been shot. He was a member
of the ultranationalist Libera Democratic Party (LDP) faction in the Duma.
Two Duma deputies were murdered last year: former banker Andrei Aidzerdis
and Communist Valentin Martemyanov. -- Penny Morvant, OMRI, Inc.

Hello!
I am trying to find a Russian woman who moved from Tajikistan to Moscow about
a year ago. When she moved, she gave an address to her old friend from
Dushanbe (and my friend) who lives in New York, but this address turned out
to be wrong (it was a hurried phone conversation and possibly there was a
misunderstanding). I have had someone in Moscow check this address, and other
similar addresses, and nobody knows her.
I don't have much information, so I think the best way to find her might be
to find someone who knew her in Dushanbe who might have a correct address. I
realize this is difficult because so many Russians have left there, but
finding her in a large city like Moscow is difficult also. Can anyone help me
with:
--An e-mail address for the Tajik State Agricultural Institute, the
university she attended.
--Any contacts in Dushanbe who might be able to help.
--Any ideas on how to find her in Moscow, possibly a way to contact someone
at the zoo there (where she might have tried to find a job).
Here is the information I have:
Her name is Larisa Vladimirovna Vasilevskaya (maiden name Fishkina--she is
divorced)
She was born in Kursk, February 1961. Grew up in Dushanbe. Studied zoology at
Tajik State Agricultural Institute, 1978-84. Worked at the zoo in Dushanbe
until two or three years ago. Moved from Dushanbe to Moscow in February or
March last year. Her whole family moved at the same time, a brother and sister
with her to Moscow, her mother to Tashkent (we think). The family's address
in Dushanbe was:
Ulitsa Firdavsi 60-5
Dushanbe
Tajikistan 734061
She also has a sister, Irina, who has lived in Moscow for some time.
Unfortunately, I don't know her married name.
I don't know much more than that. If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me at
Dhbarrett@aol.com.
Thanks.

Hi all !!!
May be someone know about any Data Base programs for UNIX just like
Magic for DOS ??? May be there is Magic for UNIX ???
For those of you who doesn't know what is Magic and therefore what sort
of program i need: Magic is a program where you can program your own
specific structure of data... It used to hold in Magic sorts of catalogs,
so you can search any info within it ,change it or create another field
of data and so on...
Any info or ftp/telnet archives for this sort of programs will be usefull...
thnx....

Groznyj vzjat?.. Groznyj berut.
Hi, folks! 6/2/1995
Za poslednie sutki federaly dostigli v Groznom znachitel'nyh uspehov.
Obojdja gorod s jugo-vostoka (s polnost'ju razrushennogo poselka
gorodskogo tipa Argun), oni nachali ataki s tyla. Vmeste s tem
desantnye gruppy pronikli na neskol'ko km ot Sunzhi i pri podderzhke
artillerii krajne zatrudnili peredvizhenija v rajone ploschadi "Minutka"
(vazhnyj perekrestok v jugo-vostochnoj chasti, v 2-3 km ot reki i
reskoma). Predprinjatye chechencami kontrataki s cel'ju razbit'
Argunskuju gruppirovku i otbit' tramvajnoe depo u Sunzhi uspeha ne
imeli.
Vmeste s tem ne sootvetstvujut dejstvitel'nosti utverzhdenija
pravitel'stva o kontrole nad Groznym, polnoj blokade i likvidacii
Groznenskogo komandnogo centra chechenskoj armii. Segodnja zhurnalistu
latvijskoj gazety "Diena" udalos' proehat' v Groznyj i obratno
vmeste s popolneniem, on videl komandujuschego generala Aslana
Masadova. Vmeste s tem kachestvo i kolichestvo vooruzhenija opolchencev
nedostatochnoe.
Prezident Ingushetii Aushev podtverdil, chto v rezul'tate vooruzhennogo
stolknovenija mezhdu armiej i pogranichnikami (po odnoj iz
mnogochislennyh oshibok) sbit vertolet Mi-24.
Tol'ko chto postupilo soobschenie, chto gruppa vidnyh intellektualov (66
chelovek) podpisala pis'mo, prizyvajuschee liderov "demokraticheskih
partij" k ob'edineniju pered ugrozoj "reakcii". Sredi podpisavshih -
kak vidnye "pacifisty", tak i ogoltelye militaristy. A "demokraty",
po slozhivshejsja terminologii - eto, naprimer, Javlinskij, predlagavshij
sebja v zalozhniki v nachale vojny, i Shahraj - odin iz iniciatorov
vojny, avtor plana uprazdnenija vseh voobsche avtonomij i peredela
granic russkih oblastej. Takaja vot prostitucija kak zakon politiki.
Podobnosti, nadejus', budut zavtra.
Promoskovskie lidery Chechni (t.n. "vremennyj sovet") vystupili s
protestom protiv "bezobraznogo i provokacionnogo povedenija vojsk"
i "bespredela", tvorimogo v Groznom. V zajavlenii upomjanuto massovoe
"vzjatie v plen" mirnyh grazhdan. V to zhe vremja oficial'nye vlasti
respubliki otricajut, chto pri sostojavshihsja obmenah plennymi byl

Otvalivshiesya Mysli
Off-the-wall thoughts
(The thoughts are mine; when using, please credit the source. I am
not liable though if you take any of them seriously. -- Al Nalpak)
Gusi vybrali lebedya v nachal'stvo; lebed' tol'ko krasovalsya, delo
ne delal. Vybraly gusya; okazalsya prohvost, provorovalsya. Vybrali
lisu; vse byli schastlivy.
Utrom ushel v internet; bol'she ego nikto ne videl.
Voznessya na sed'moe nebo; vyshe nekuda. Vdrug protyok potolok:
naverhu prorvalo unitaz.
Nepriznanyi genii; uehal na zapad. Tozhe ne priznali.
Obidelsya za Rossiyu; stal patriotom.
Israel, v otdele kadrov: "You are Vasyukov? A Jew?
Oh, no, no, with the name like that we would better
hire a real Russian..."
Got an e-mail date. Nine months later gave a birth to a nice
cute IBM clone...
Sekretnaya kontora pod Moskvoi proizvodila litsa. Tol'ko po spec-zakazu,
dlya vyshego nachal'stva. Mezhdunarodnyi skandal: halturili, okazalos'
-- ne litsa, a zh*py. Nobody ever noticed before.
Ob'yavlenie: Poteryal mysl'. Nashedshego proshu vernut'.
Otvet: Nashel mysl'. Ne znayu vasha li. Prishlite podrobnoe opisanie.
Rodilsya, uchilsya, zhenilsya, razvelsya, uehal.
Vstal na welfare, rabotal na cash, zhenilsya, razvelsya, vernulsya.
Nochami snilsya Rim.
"Bei zhidov, spasai Rossiyu."
"Bei zhidov i komissarov".
"Bei zhidov i velosipedistov."
"Bei zhidov i chechentsev."
Zhidy byli patrioty; ne toropilis' ehat'.
Announcement in info-russ: Russian-speaking dog wanted,
with a New-England accent, please.
Ob'yavlenie na info-russ: ona byla tak prekrasna, osobenno zdes'...,
i tam..., nu, vy znaete. No telefon ne ostavila; prishlite kto znaet
(primety -- vyshe).
Chem dal'she ot granitsy, tem bol'she patriotov.
"Evrei, evrei, krugom odni evrei", bormotal Potylyts'ko, oformlyayas'
v Jewish Family Service.
Tried to use his high IQ as sex-attraction. Got always
screwed up: was getting the same in return.
Byl v Rossii evreem. Ispolnilas' mechta zhizni: uehal v Shtaty...
okazalsya russkim. Amerikantsy pribegayut s krikom :"We love Russia!",
russkie krichat "Ty nash Patriot!", a izrail'tyane voobschhe chert-te
chto govoryat... Zapisalsya v ochered' v Marsianskoe posol'stvo...
Ona byla prekrasna, s nog do golovy (i obratno...). No zvuk on ne
vklyuchal; boyalsya.
Bezhenets; ne poluchil mesto nachal'nika kakoe imel v
Moskve. Ugrozhal druz'yam chto vernyotsya obratno.
To be or not to be, it's not a question.
To sign or not to sign?...
Son starogo emigranta: snova v Moskve; ne mozhet vyehat'; hodit po
instantsiyam. Prosypaetsya v holodnom potu.
Zabludilsya v internete; kogda vernulsya nazad -- okazalos', sperli
komputer. Ne smog vyiti naruzhu.
Rasstrelivali utrechkom, po holodku. Zapivali pivkom, pod voblu. Dnem
veshali kogo esche ne rasstrelyali. Veryovku otsylali v dom dlya sirot;
prigoditsya v hozyaistve. Vecherkom vypivali doma, horosho, po semeinomu.
Nochyu arrestovyvali novyh -- gotovilis' k utru. Zhizn' byla normal'naya;
produktov hvatalo.
The peace arrived at last. Its main beneficiaries were stray dogs and
buzzards.
Very thoughtfully yours,
Alejandro Nalpak

"Planomernyj othod" iz Groznogo i oborona Arguna
Hi, folks! 8/2/1995
Chechenskoe pravitel'stvo ustami ministra informacii M.Udugova i
prisoedinivshegosja k nemu Dudaeva soobschilo ob evakuacii
pravitel'stva i glavnogo shtaba iz Groznogo. Po ih zavereniju,
evakuacija nosit planovyj harakter, prichem pervonachal'no
namechalas' na 1 fevralja. Pravitel'stvo perevoditsja v odin iz
gorodov central'noj Chechni, a shtab - v blizhnij prigorod
Groznogo. Komandovat' oboronoj budet po-prezhnemu general Aslan
Mashadov (nesmotrja na sluhi o ego plohom sostojanii - depressii).
Po slovam g-na Udugova, plan, o kotorom shla rech' vyshe,
predusmatrivaet aktivnye, v tom chisle nastupatel'nye dejstvija
i rasschitan na dlitel'nyj srok.
Vse eto vygljadit kak aktivnoe propagandistskoe prikrytie
krupnogo (hotja i ne okonchatel'nogo) porazhenija, no, kak ni
stranno, takovym ne javljaetsja. Pohozhe, moment dlja othoda vybran
chechenskoj storonoj dejstvitel'no po sobstvennoj iniciative -
segodnja v gorod, jakoby blokirovannyj federalami, postupali
podkreplenija, i krome boev v jugo-zapadnoj chasti shli takzhe
stolknovenija u central'nogo vokzala - v glubine "federal'noj"
zony, na levom beregu Sunzhi. Jugo-vostochnye rajony goroda
bombilis' aviaciej. Promoskovskoe rukovodstvo Avturhanova
otlozhilo pereezd v severnye rajony Groznogo i ostalos' na
severe Chechni. Krome togo, rossijskie vojska ponesli tjazhelye
poteri i ne dobilis' bol'shogo uspeha v novom srazhenii u
gorodka Argun. Prodolzhaetsja mnogodnevnyj boj za selo Samashki.
Iz drugoj zhizni: v voennom tribunale Moskovskogo voennogo
okruga nachato zakrytoe slushanie dela shpiona respubliki
Zimbabve. "Marazm krepchal".

Hi, folks! 9/2/1995
K moemu vcherashnemu soobscheniju, otpravlennomu s zapozdaniem,
dobavlju: segodnja g-n E zajavil, chto vooruzhennye sily POLNOST'Ju
prekratili boevye dejstvija, a vojska MVD provodjat razoruzhenija grupp
boevikov "po pjat' tak chelovek". Mezhdu tem v Groznom slyshen grohot pushek
i ustanovok "Grad", usilivshijsja k vecheru. Boi proishodjat v osnovnom v
juzhnom predmest'e Chernorech'e i nekotoryh juzhnyh i zapadnyh okrainnyh
kvartalah Groznogo. Federal'nye vojska segodnja veli tjazhelye i
krovoprolitnye boi za gorod Shali, poselki Argun i Samashki.
Nachal'nik rossijskogo genshtaba Kolesnikov ob'javil oficial'nuju cifru
poter': 1020 ubitymi (i okolo 6000 u chechencev). Dazhe esli ne vnosit'
popravok na "oficial'nyj" harakter etih cifr, eto oznachaet
INTENSIVNOST' poter' v 9 raz vyshe, chem v Afganskoj kampanii.
Iz Groznogo i sel postupajut vse novye svedenija, v tom chisle iz
istochnikov promoskovskih sil na severe Chechni, o zhestokosti otrjadov
OMON, vvedennyh POSLE prekraschenija boevyh dejstvij. V otlichie ot soldat,
bezumno ispugannyh, nedisciplinirovannyh i ubivavshih chasto v strahe za
svoju zhizn', eti ljudi specializirujutsja na grabezhah i iznasilovanijah
ZAVEDOMO MIRNOGO naselenija. Vprochem, my zdes' horosho pomnim oblastnye
OMONy v MOskve oktjabrja 1993-go, vvedennye tozhe POSLE VSEGO. Eto byla
svoja, a ne "vrazheskaja" stolica, i ot ih ruk pogibli "vsego" 4 cheloveka
(po krajnej mere, takova oficial'naja cifra). Genprokuror Kaazannik
nazval ee i ushel, novyj genprokuror prekratil delo. I stalo jasno, chto
eti rebjata teper' pojdut daleko.

Could anybody help me to find books of a children's author, whose Russian
translations were very popular in the FSU some time ago?
His name (in the inverse translation from Russian) was Donald Bissett,
if I am not mistaken.
I'm looking for his books in English, but I was unable to find even his name
either in Encyclopadia Britannica or Webster, or Grollier's.
Somebody, probably, may have a Russian edition at hand with a reference to
originals...
Thanx in advanx.

Subject: INFO-RUSS: Info about Novosibirsk
Status: O
Friends on the Info-Russ,
A couple of months ago I requested from Info-Russ some contacts that could
help me prepare for my trip to Novosibirsk this summer. I received over a
dozen notes from people with info about contacts or friends in Novosibirsk.
I appreciate them very much. I need additional info.
I am planning a trip to Novosibirsk, Siberia this June with our church. I
would like to have access to more information about the city and its
surrounding area. If you can help me with answers to any of the following
questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
1. Is there a source for city or regional maps with greater detail than what
is available in a world atlas?
2. What is the current economic state in the city?
3. What would be some of the recommendations of places to see and not see?
4. Are there any restuarants of particular note in the city?
5. Are there any customs or traditions that I need to be aware of when
interfacing among the people there?
6. What should the June weather be like?
7. Are there any internet facilities there?
8. Is it possible for me to access them while there, if so how much would it
cost, so that I can be prepared?
Thank you so much for your help in making my trip so much more successful and
fun. I really want to meet as many of the Russian citizens as is practical
while I am there. If there are any costs associated with the above requests,
please let me know and I will reimburse.

Dear friends,
I am considering moving to the Baltic States in April, and could
use some assistance in locating entry-level job opportunities.
I have been working for the U.S.- Baltic Foundation (USBF) for the past ten
months in two capacities -- as Editor of USBF News and as the founder and
director of USBF Consultants (the consultant placement service of the
Foundation).
My interest is working either as a research assistant to a scholar studying
European Regional issues, or as a policy analyst for a private consulting
firm.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Please reply directly to
7021039@mcimail.com. Thanks for your time.

Folks, somehow I forgot to take a copyright on my last name:-), so
these guys are using it now for commercial purposes -- but this time
it is for free. Well, anyway, I would suggest you to use your chance
and take that Test Drive, see ad below. Kaplans are usualy good in

--------------------------------------------------------------------
As a public service for students applying to graduate school, Kaplan
Educational Center is offering a free Test Drive -- a trial run for the GRE,
LSAT, GMAT, and MCAT on Saturday, February 25 at JHU. Students will take a
practice exam, receive a computer analysis of their strengths and weaknesses,
and get free test-taking strategies from Kaplan teachers. Spaces are
limited. Students should call 243-1456 to reserve a seat.
We would appreciate if you would announce the Test Drive in your classes
and let interested students know about this cost-free, risk-free opportunity.
Thank you!

list for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I)
professionals. Details are listed below explaining the purpose and expected
content of the list. I invite you to join and ask you to pass this
information to anyone you think may be interested in this area. Thank you.
-----------------------------------
c4i-pro (C4I Professional) mailing list
This mailing list was created for use by anyone interested or involved in
the area of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence
(C4I). Its purpose is to serve as a central point or clearinghouse
(unclassified) for information and activities of interest to members of the
C4I professional community. This includes military and government civilian
members (both in operational, acquisition and policy positions), C4I
contractors and members of the academic community worldwide. Topics of
discussion are envisioned to include:
Conference/meeting announcements
Exercise announcements (e.g. JWID)
Lists of C4I resources on the net
C4I thesis ideas and proposals
C4I lessons learned
Generic discussion on such C4I topics as:

The c4i-pro list is managed by students and faculty of the Naval
Postgraduate School's (NPS) Joint C4I Systems curriculum. The NPS is the
U.S. Navy's graduate education university. More than 1800 students from
all four U.S. Services and over 40 countries are studying for graduate
degrees in a variety of curricula. The Joint C4I Systems curriculum
provides U.S. students from all four services the opportunity to obtain a
masters of science degree in systems technology. For more information on
the NPS or the C4I curriculum, see our WWW home page described below or

Peremirie narusheno - zakljuchili novoe
Hi, folks! 15/02/1995
Zakljuchennoe v Chechne v ponedel'nik chastichnoe peremirie (ogranichenie
na primenenie tjazheloj tehniki) nepreryvno narushalos', osobenno,
estestvenno, federalami. V chastnosti, zafiksirovan avianalet na
gorod Argun. Chechency kak minimum odin raz otkryvali ogon' iz
ustanovki "Grad" v predgor'jah juzhnee Groznogo. V Groznom eti dva
dnja artogon' vse zhe ne velsja. Segodnja Masadovym i Kulikovym pri
posrednichestve vice-prezidenta Ingushetii Agapova podpisano novoe
soglashenie - na etot raz o polnom prekraschenii ognja s polunochi
sredy na 48 chasov. Dudaev blagoslovil Masadova i naibolee
populjarnogo polevogo komandira Shamilja Basanova na eti peregovory,
no ukazal, chto ne vidit perspektivy perehoda etih peregovorov v
politicheskie. Etim slovam parallel'ny vyskazyvanija Borisa Agapova,
kommentirovavshego peregovory krajne ostorozhno, no skazavshego, chto
u nih est' "krajne vlijatel'nye protivniki vne sfery
neposredstvennogo komandovanija operacijami". Po soobscheniju Basanova,
na peregovorah Kulikov obeschal vyvod armii (no ne vojsk MVD) iz
Groznogo v obmen na polnyj vyvod boevikov ottuda. Vzamen etoj, ne
vstretivshej ponimanija u chechencev idei, predlozhena na obsuzhdenie
drugaja - o sozdanii v chasti Groznogo demilitarizovannoj zony.
Chechency obeschali podumat'. Sledujuschij tur peregovorov, esli nichego
ne sluchitsja - v pjatnicu.
Promoskovskie lidery Severnoj Chechni polozhitel'no vyskazalis' o
peregovorah. Ih predstavitel' podtverdil, chto neskol'ko ih bojcov,
odetyh v milicejskuju formu, byli vvedeny v Groznyj federalami dlja
predstavitel'stva v processe "ohrany porjadka" i uzhe imeli
stolknovenija s voennosluzhaschimi MVD pri aktah grabezha i nasilija so
storony poslednih.
Postupajut vse novye soobschenija o fantasticheski nizkom urovne
podgotovki i discipliny dazhe tak nazyvaemyh elitnyh chastej
federalov. Desjatki procentov poter' ("frontoviki" govorjat - 50, no
eto, vidimo, zavysheno) - poteri ot obstrelov, bombezhek i nochnyh
stychek so svoimi. Superelitnoe podrazdelenie - otrjad specnaza GRU
- pogiblo v polnom sostave pri vzryve 300 kg vzryvchatki,
pogruzhennoj v syroj teplyj podval, gde oni spali (azy podryvnogo
dela!)
Nakonec-to sformirovannyj Konstitucionnyj sud ob'javil segodnja, chto
delo o vozmozhnyh narushenijah zakona pri chechenskoj operacii poka ne
planiruetsja, no esli nadlezhaschim obrazom budet vozbuzhdeno, to pered
nim v ocheredi okolo 70 drugih zaprosov. Sud'i mnogomu nauchilis'!
Kstati, istorija iz "togo" vremeni (oktjabr'skogo perevorota). Na
radostjah po povodu slavnoj pobedy molodye parni-demokraty p'jut
vodku v gostjah u syna konstitucionnogo sud'i proprezidentskih
vzgljadov. Iz zastol'nogo razgovora odin iz gostej uznaet, chto v
etom zhe pod'ezde (dom-to novonomenklaturnyj) zhivet sud'ja Luchin
(kommunist, storonnik b.Verhsoveta). Gorjachij junosha reshaet (posle
tret'ego stakana) osuschestvljat' narodnoe vozmezdie mjatezhniku,
vstaet i pod obschij p'janyj gam uhodit. Cherez polchasa ego hvatilis',
cherez sorok minut on pozvonil v dver' - grjaznyj i s ssadinami na
lice. Okazalos', pomimo prochih intelligentskih nedostatkov, u nego
zrenie -11, a on po p'jani v treh metrah ot dverej uronil i
razdavil ochki. Ostal'noe vremja on stranstvoval po pod'ezdu v
poiskah rodnoj dveri.
Ja k tomu, chto otvratitel'noe obajanie sily poltora goda nazad
pomanilo mnogih iz nas, dazhe teh, kto, kazalos' by, byl prochno
zaschischen vospitaniem, genami ili fizicheskimi nedostatkami. Chechnja
stala dlja mnogih dorogoj cenoj za vyzdorovlenie.

Peremirie poka sobljudaetsja
Hi, folks! 16/02/1995
Zakljuchennoe vchera peremirie prakticheski polnost'ju sobljudalos',
chechenskie predstaviteli pribyli v Groznyj dlja sbora trupov
pogibshih chechencev. Chechenskaja storona otmechaet periodicheskie
perestrelki na obnoj iz pozicij na okrainah Groznogo. V to zhe
vremja rjad armejskih generalov vyskazyvajut nedovol'stvo
soglasheniem i poziciej, zanjatoj generalom MVD Kulikovym.
Sostojalos' zapozdavshee na mesjac poslanie E Federal'nomu
Sobraniju. On zachital ego na sovmestnom zasedanii i velel
obsuzhdat' razdel'no, po palatam. Pervaja reakcija - total'no
negativnaja. Otmechajut tol'ko odin polozhitel'nyj moment -
obeschanie vse zhe provesti vybory v srok "ustanovlennyj
konstituciej" (eti slova ne imejut tochnogo smysla, ibo v
konstitucii net polozhenij o vyborah verhnej palaty, srok
nyneshnih polnomochij Dumy i prezidenta opredelen ne
konstituciej, a chrezvychajnym zakonom i sostavljaet dlja Dumy 2
goda vmesto 4 po konstitucii, a prezidenta 5 vmesto 4). Tem ne
menee eto obeschanie - hot' chto-to, reshili slushateli. V
podderzhku poslanija ne vyskazalis' ni odin lider partii (dazhe
g-n Zh, nazvavshij ego "nedostatochnym"), a lish' otdel'nye
deputaty-marginaly, ego osudili mnogie regional'nye lidery.
Po povodu Chechni E reshitel'no vzjal pod zaschitu operaciju i ee
ispolnitelej. V ostal'nom - voda i ravnomernaja smes'
populistskih i antipopulistskih ritoricheskih hodov. "Nikomu ne
pozvolim prinimat' reshenija, podryvajuschie bjudzhet" (t.e. ne
dopuschu povyshenija pensij i goszarplat) i "finansirovanie armii
i VPK v maksimal'nom i prioritetnom ob'eme". Special'no dlja
osobenno zaderzhavshihsja v umstvennom razvitii intelligentov
vstavlen kusok o reshitel'noj bor'be s fashizmom (bez utochnenija,
chto eto takoe).
Segodnja E izdal ukaz, otmenjajuschij rezhim ChP v prigranichnyh
rajonah Severnoj Osetii i Ingushetii (posle dvuh bezuspeshnyh
popytok prodlenija ChP, ne proshedshih cherez Sovet Federacii).
Poka nejasno, kakov smysl etoj mery. ChP suschestvovalo s momenta
osetino-ingushskogo stolknovenija zimoj 92/93 goda i
posledujuschego pogroma ingushej russkoj armiej, etoj preljudii k
chechenskoj vojne. Esli takim obrazom nadejutsja otkryt' "Vtoroj
front" protiv Ingushetii - eti raschety, skoree vsego, oshibochny.
Ingushskie rukovoditeli uporno dobivalis' otmeny ChP i, pohozhe,
sovsem ne bojatsja liderov Osetii, a oni umejut proschityvat'
situaciju.

Hi, folks! 17/02/1995
Peremirie v Chechne prodleno do 18:00 voskresen'ja. Plennymi ne
obmenjalis'. Prekraschenie ognja v osnovnom sobljudaetsja
(iskljuchenija na juzhnyh okrainah Groznogo). Chernomyrdin segodnja
na vstreche s muftiem Chechni obeschal dat' generalu Kulikovu
ukazanie zakljuchit' novoe peremirie do 5 marta. Obostrjaetsja
polozhenie v Dagestane: Mahachkalinskij OMON i vojska MVD
mestnoj dislokacii ubrany s granicy, federaly nachali
minirovat' prigranichnuju polosu i prekratili dopusk bezhencev iz
Chechni. Kstati, rasporjazhenie ne priznavat' chechencev bezhencami,
o chem ja vam uzhe pisal, skorrektirovano novym prikazom g-zhi
Regent: teper' zaprescheno priznavat' bezhencami vseh pokidajuschih
rajon konflikta, nezavisimo ot nacional'nosti.
Pravitel'stvennyj informcentr oproverg vcherashnee soobschenie,
ssylavsheesja na komandujuschego Tihookeanskim flotom, o posylke v
Chechnju novyh dvuh rot morpehov. Oproverzheniju verit' ne stoit.
Admiral soobschil, chto otkazalos' ot perevoda v Chechnju 300

Dear folks,
I am "piggy-back" ridind Alik Suhanov's msg (to save a bandwidth).
Below are some excerpts from OMRI Daily Digest for 16 & 17 March).
--Alex Kaplan, INFO-RUSS owner/coordinator
-----------------------------------------------------------------
YELTSIN SEES MORE CHECHNYA-TYPE SITUATIONS IN FUTURE. In a separate
document passed out to the Russian parliament before his 16 February
address to that body, President Yeltsin said he foresees more Chechnya-type
situations in the future, Reuters reported on 16 February. He said Moscow
would encounter "special danger from armed conflicts breaking out in Russia
and on its borders, on the territory of the former Soviet Union, because of
aggressive nationalism and religious extremism." Russia must defend itself
against "social, political, economic, territorial, regional, national-ethnic,
and other contradictions . . . ambitions (!!!) of other states
and political forces to solve conflicts by use of armed struggle."(!!!)
35,000 Ingush made homeless during the fighting.
MOMENTUM BUILDING FOR NATO SECURITY TREATY WITH RUSSIA. Despite events in
Chechnya, momentum is building in NATO circles for a bilateral security
treaty with Russia to form a "strategic partnership," international
agencies reported on 16 February. German Defense Minister Volker Ruehe told
the Bundestag defense committee on 15 February that a formal exchange of
letters could take place within the next six months.
Zhirinovsky celebrated the release of his
novel, titled Last Train North. The book includes a preface in which the
author suggests that many Russian politicians, including former Soviet
President Mikhail Gorbachev, his liberal adviser Aleksandr Yakovlev, as
well as Yeltsin and his entire team, be sent to the sites of the former
Stalinist camps.
DUMA ADOPTS LEGISLATION ON SECURITY SERVICES. The Duma passed a bill "On
Federal Security Service Bodies" on its second reading, on 15 February. The
draft changes the name of the Federal Counterintelligence Service to the
Federal Security Service--the fourth such change since the KGB was split
after the collapse of the USSR. It gives the security service sweeping
powers, allowing it to carry out operations in almost total secrecy,
Western agencies reported. All information about service employees will be
classified as state secrets, and methods used in countering crime and
espionage, including the use of video and audio surveillance systems, will
be kept secret from the General Prosecutor's Office which is in charge of
all law enforcement bodies.
RUSSIAN INVESTIGATOR SAYS STEALING URANIUM EASIER THAN TAKING A SACK OF
POTATOES. In a report on the trial of a Navy lieutenant colonel convicted
of stealing nuclear fuel rods, a British TV program quoted Russian
investigators as saying the theft "was easier than taking a sack of
potatoes," Reuters reported on 15 February. Lt.-Col. Aleksei Tikhomirov
said he just walked into the storage area at the headquarters of the
Russian fleet in Severomorsk and forced a padlock on the door. He took
several canisters of fuel rods containing 20% uranium-235.

Segodnja posle istechenija sroka peremirija (v 18:00) v Chechne snova
nachalis' boi - poka na juge Groznogo. Federaly proveli naporistuju
propagandistskuju kampaniju, ob'javljaja o narushenii chechencami uslovij
peremirija i o tom, chto "vsjakie vozmozhnosti peregovorov proshli"
(slova generala Kulikova). V kachestve Casus Belli vydvinuta "popytka

o voennyh dejstvijah. On proizvodit s pervogo vzgljada strannoe
vpechatlenie: opjat' soobschenija o "belyh kolgotkah" (snajpershah iz
Pribaltiki, pravda v otchete im pripisana russkaja nacional'nost'),
nelepaja cifra "5000 inostrannyh naemnikov" (ochevidno zavyshennaja ne
menee chem v 10-20 raz), da esche zajavlenie, chto sejchas otrjady Dudaeva
sostojat pochti iskljuchitel'no iz naemnikov (eto hot' soglasuetsja s
cifroj 5000). V tom zhe duhe vse ostal'noe. Stoit zadat'sja voprosom:
pochemu GRU pozvoljaet sebe takoe - eto ne KGB, oni vrode by nikogda
ne byli ideologicheskoj strukturoj, stoit li gubit' reputaciju
analitikov i ekspertov na durnoj propagande? Edinstvennyj otvet,
kotoryj prihodit v golovu - oni ne schitajut eto propagandoj, to est'
eto i est' ta "analitika", kotoroj oni potchujut komandovanie i
vlasti. Takoe zhe fuflo, kak KGB, koroche govorja.
SEGODNJa NAKONEC-TO dan otvet na ehidnye trebovanija pacifistov
pred'javit' hotja by odin miting v podderzhku vojny i prezidenta. Na
Pushkinskoj za vse eto mitingovala kakaja-to ocherednaja "Russkaja"
partija. Za prezidenta muzhestvenno stojali nordicheskie parni s belymi
znamenami, ukrashennymi stilizovannymi svastikami.
V etom epizode - sut' mnogogo neponjatnogo, chto sovershilos' v Rossii
v poslednie mesjacy. Posle oktjabrja 1993 v Rossii net bol'she ljudej,
gotovyh otdat' zhizn' ili kopejku za prezidenta - ili protiv nego. V
to zhe vremja nichego - ni patriotizm, ni lojal'nost' zakonu ili (v
armii) discipline ne svjazyvaet ljudej s gosudarstvom. E mozhet
obygryvat' svoih byvshih druzej-demokratov ili vragov-kommunistov na
pole politiki, no eto pole ZAMKNUTO. Svoego krovnogo - i svoej krovi
- bol'she nikto ne otdast. Priblizhaetsja vesennij prizyv v armiju - i s
nim samaja bol'shaja draka v istorii novoj Rossii.
Tem vremenem pojavilsja proekt novogo zakona o voinskoj povinnosti,
ochischennyj ot zhirinovskih krajnostej. Srok sluzhby hotjat prodlit' vse
zhe do 2 i 3 let (a ne 3 i 4), no otsrochku studentam otmenit'
polnost'ju (esli net voennoj kafedry, to v 18 let na obschih
osnovanijah, esli est' - posle 4 kursa na god, a potom prisvoit'
lejtenanta). 10000 fiziko-tehnicheskih talantov poluchat personal'nuju
otsrochku po prikazu ministra oborony.
Na etoj nedele pomoschniki E Baturin i Lifshic proveli seriju besed s
deputatami Dumy, priglashaja ih vstupit' v prezidentskuju frakciju, i
naverbovali 40 tel. Po rasskazam, razgovor byl prostoj: (1) Vashi
material'nye problemy? (2) Sledujuschie vybory - bez problem, neskol'ko
krupnejshih bankov zhazhdut podderzhat' finansovo konstruktivnyh
kandidatov. Kstati, o bankirah-konstruktivistah: g-n Oleg Bojko
(bank OLBI-DIPLOMAT) ob'javil ob uhode s posta predsedatelja ispolkoma
(=kaznacheja) partii Dem. Vybor Rossii i vyhode iz partii - iz-za
predatel'koj i porazhencheskoj pozicii partii i lichno "gadenyshej". A
banki, estestvenno, poluchat ocherednye l'goty, iz kotoryh sostoit vsja
nasha superliberal'naja ekonomika. Vse eto bylo by divno uravnovesheno
i neprobivaemo - tol'ko vot narodishko v armiju idti ne hochet.

Dear IR-folks,
This posting below is written by Felix Kreisel, a staff memeber
at MIT, who is a supporter of the Workers League, the Trotskyist
party in the US. Regardless of his political views, it looks like
his reflections on situation in Moscow and in general in Russia are
interesting and on the target.

Article 7013 of alt.current-events.russia:
A tale of two cities
Copyright: Iskra Research; By: F. Kreisel; Feb. 19, 1995
The premier international business newspaper, the London "Financial
Times" (it is published and distributed simultaneously in London,
New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Melbourne, etc. and serves the exclusive
needs of the international bourgeoisie) greeted its readers on Feb.
15 with a pair of front page articles under the common heading "Tale
of two great cities and the leaders trying to restore their fortunes".
The stories concerned the economic and social collapse of, in one
case, New York City, and in the other case, Moscow.
This reference to Charles Dickens' "A tale of two cities" is, of
course, not incidental. However, what is most remarkable is that the
editors of the "Financial Times" should place the fate of these two
cities side by side. The more astute bourgeois analysts recognize the
global nature of the crisis of capitalism. They also know that the
immediate solutions of the various national governments: budget cuts
throughout the G7, constant attacks on the working class, etc.,
inevitably destabilize the capitalist regimes and lead to even greater
crises in the future.
New York City
New York City, the premier city of the richest and most powerful
capitalist colossus, is in the midst of a gut wrenching social
transformation. It is already a city of contrasts: the filthy rich and
the abject poor. On the fortieth floor of a building on Broad and Wall
Street a stock manipulation results in a cool hundred million transfer
across the globe with one keystroke on a computer keyboard and the
next deal is discussed over a five hundred dollar lunch. While a whole
world apart and forty floors below, homeless derelicts sleep on steam
grates and beg passers by for nickels, and two miles away families try
to live on one meal a day in cold water flats amidst blackened and
boarded buildings, surrounded by the permanently unemployed, the
disabled and the sick throwaways of our civilization.
New York City is now undergoing a major amputation of its already torn
and hemorrhaging social welfare net. The mayor, Mr. Giuliani, must cut
$2.7 bn out of the $30.5 bn city budget. The banks are demanding it,
the creditors are demanding it, and Mr. Giuliani must obey his
masters. $1.2 bn will be cut from Medicare, the bare bones medical
insurance program of America's indigent. More savings will come from
firing thousands of city workers, and those laid off from these jobs
may in the future be required to do the same work in return for their
pitiful welfare checks.
Moscow
Over in Moscow the mayor, Mr. Yuri Luzhkov is fighting to preserve his
control over the real estate boom of the past few years and to
reinforce his access to the state treasury. He is demanding the right
to "renationalize" (i.e. subsidize out of state budget) some of the
major industrial complexes like ZIL, which had to be closed recently
due to mounting losses. During the past few years, first under the
"communist" Gorbachev, then under the "democrat" Yeltsin we have
witnessed the largest fire sale of recorded history: the removal sale
of the technological and industrial values built up by the Soviet
Union and the still continuing sale of the natural resources of the
whole gigantic Eurasian land mass.
As long as Moscow kept control over the direction of this giant
looting party, Mr. Yeltsin and Mr. Luzhkov were able to coexist by
dividing the spoils amicably, as befits "honest thieves". But now, as
the debacle in Chechnia has shown, the center is losing control over
the provinces. In any case, the crown jewels of Soviet industry are
disposed of already, the oil and gas extraction is dropping, both
industrial and consumer goods production is steadily falling to the
zero point. Factories are in ruins, machinery is rusting, workers are
reduced to tinkering and pilfering the remnants. The oil, gas, rare
metals, furs, forestry products, etc. are located out in the provinces
and the local sharks everywhere are concluding direct deals with the
Western buyers. The idea of the various Dzhokhar Dudayevs, whether in
Chechnia, Tatarstan or Yakutia is, of course, to cut out the middleman
Q Moscow. When this happens, when Russia splits up into small "free
trade zones" and "independent" statelets tied to one or another of the
capitalist powers, the party for the Moscow bigwigs will be over.
So, mayor Luzhkov (significantly, he prefers to be called "premier"),
President Yeltsin, Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, the millionaire owner
of the "Most" banking and media group, Gusinsky and various other
"entrepreneurs" have been building up their private armies in
preparation for the intensifying fight over the diminishing income
from the giant looting party. Yeltsin's private army (a 25,000 strong
force under the ex-KGB general Korzhakov) is for now the largest.
However, the other contenders are busy with their combinations and
maneuvers.
A few years ago they were Communist Party chieftains, directors of
state industry and black market speculators. They stole and diverted
state property on the sly, while draping themselves in "Communist"
phraseology. Now, they have legalized their systematic theft,
established the capitalist state structures, got themselves anointed
by the Orthodox Church hierarchy (the majority of whose priests until
recently served as paid informers for the Stalinist secret police).
The newly formed class of post-Soviet bourgeoisie has great
pretensions and huge appetites. They want to be just like their
colleagues on Wall Street; they imitate the Ivan Boeskys in
everything: Mercedes limousines, Pierre Cardin suits, slinky
model-prostitutes on their arms, French cognac and cocaine trays in
their living rooms.
Only a few steps away from the hard currency stores, restaurants and
bars, the business headquarters of "Most" and the various stock and
currency exchanges, but across a whole class divide is another Moscow:
a city of rapidly decaying apartment complexes, broken down buses
creaking along potholed streets, abandoned factory hulks, closed
cultural and sports clubs and kindergartens. Here is a world of
deprivation, degradation and mounting anger. Families live on the
edge, wearing out the clothes they bought years ago, cutting meat,
fish and fresh vegetables out of their meals and switching to the
bread and potato diet which is the lot of the destitute everywhere,
looking for second and third jobs to pay for the basic necessities.
The elderly pensioners are selling their pitiful belongings to buy a
bit of groats for their kasha; the kids..., ah, yes, the kids.
It is the youth of the former USSR who have the most to lose. As the
whole society slides to a Third World status, the future of the
Russian, Kazakh, Chechen or Ukrainian youth is very bleak indeed.
Their schools decay by the month; the Soviet sport palaces and youth
clubs are privatized and turned into casinos, exclusively expensive
health clubs or parking lots; the summer camps just fade away.
What does future hold for the youth of Moscow and New York? Decaying
and overcrowded schools, street crime, drugs and prostitution. Broken
families, broken lives, life in the street and on the edge. Perhaps
the army, a battlefield in Chechnia or in Panama defending the
interests of Wall Street or Yeltsin's secret millions.
Charles Dickens wrote: "It was the best of times, it was the
worst of times". For the sharks of capital on Wall Street and along
the Tverskaia it is the best of times. Dow Jones averages are all the
way up to 4000 and the owners of Most and Lukoil are raking in untold
riches.
For the working class both in New York and in Moscow it is the worst
of times. The closing of whole industries in both cities is condemning
millions of workers to a slow death. Capitalism is driving humanity to
extinction.
Let us extinguish capitalism.

Dear IR-folks,
below is an interesting posting by Andrey Andrianov
received by me from Serezha Burkov ("Sovokinform"), in which its author,
known previously for "dry" reporting (unlike some other postings on the
subject on info-russ:-), wentured into different gender... (This
coordinator is not responsible for the author's views and conclusions.)
Regarding his justification of hypothetical attack of Dolgoprudnaya
(location of FizTech, btw) by Federal government, I recalled an old joke
about how Sov-government in 1967 stopped Israeli tanks advancing toward
Cairo: they threatened Israel they will nuke Odessa...
BTW, from yesterday's CNN broadcast: by estimates of various human
rights groups, civilian losses in Chechnya are 24,000 dead...

CHECHNIA I NEMNOGO MRACHNO
"V poslednie dni prodoljalis' tiajelye boi za
obladanie domikom paromshika."
Iz svodok 1916 goda s nemecko-francuzskogo fronta.
Opiat' Chechnia.
Obshee reziume: nabliudaetsia polnyi bred.
Takoe vpechatlenie, chto obe storony utratili vsiakii
entuziazm voevat'. Groznyi, v obshem, vziat (hotia s prigorodami
est' niuansy). Neskol'ko (vozmojno, mnogo) tysiach dudaevcev
perebazirovalis' v blijaishie goroda i gotoviatsia k oborone. Ot
central'nyh raionov goroda ostalis' klassicheskie ruiny.
Rezul'tat shturma neudivitelen: voevala armiia (vutrennie
voiska byli na podhvate), a voennye - liudi prostye. Pehotnyi
leitenant obuchen tak: esli iz doma naprotiv po tvoemu vzvodu
streliaiut - nado sviazat'sia s nachal'stvom, ukazat' dlia
artillerii cel' i podojdat' polchasa, poka ot doma ostanetsia
gruda kirpichei, posle chego mojno prodoljat' dvijenie. I tak dom
za domom, potomu chto streliaiut iz kajdogo.
General Gromov (komandovavshii vyvodom armii iz Afganistana):
"Da kakoe sravnenie s Afganistanom? V Afganistane, esli po oshibke
bombili mirnuiu derevniu - vozbujdalos' ugolovnoe delo i komandir
shel pod sud! A tut pochem zria sravniali s zemlei bol'shoi
gorod!"
Za 10 let afganskoi voiny armiia poteriala 15 000. Za dva
mesiaca chechenskoi - namnogo bol'she tysiachi.
(Yanki vo V'etname - 55 000. Eto dlia sravneniia.)
Nu tak ili inache - Groznyi vziali. Polojili neskol'ko
tysiach soldat (po oficial'nym svodkam - 1020, no v oficial'nye
svodki ne vhodiat umershie ot ran v gospitale i propavshie bez
vesti vo vremia boia - etakie nevinnye hitrosti) i neizvestno
skol'ko mestnyh (ocenit' nevozmojno, no iasno, chto mnogo tysiach.)
Rezonnyi vopros: chto dal'she?
Vpechatlenie takoe, chto nikto ne znaet. Poetomu
nabliudaetsia samodeiatel'nost' na vseh urovniah.
Iz interv'iu genshtabovca: "S nekotorymi selami zakliucheno
soglashenie o neitralitete. (V smysle - selo ne prinimaet
dudaevskie otriady, i za eto armiia ego ne trogaet, a oni ne
trogaiut armiiu. - A.A.) Aviacii dano ukazanie ne narushat'
vozdushnoe prostranstvo takih sel, chtoby narod ne volnovat'."
Itak - federal'naia armiia zakliuchaet S OTDEL'NOI DEREVNEI
dogovor o nenapadenii. No comments.
Peregovory vedutsia otdel'no s komandirom kajdogo
chechenskogo otriada i s kajdym selom. Rezul'taty, pohoje, est': v
Chechne kajdaia derevnia - samostoiatel'noe gosudarstvo so svoei
armiei (dva-tri tanka, minomety i pr. Granatomety i avtomaty,
konechno, est' v kajdom dome). K Dudaevu oni nikakih nejnyh
chuvstv ne ispytyvaiut i vpolne gotovy dogovorit'sia po-horoshemu
- pri uslovii, chto ih do sih por ni razu ne bombili.
No esli uje byla strel'ba s ubitymi - togda vse, voina do
poslednego jitelia derevni.
Predsedatel' FSK (ex-KGB) Stepashin ezdit po chechenskim
selam s simvolicheskoi ohranoi, vystupaet pered sotnei voorujennyh
liudei i ugovarivaet pokorit'sia. Ugovarivaiutsia slabo, no dan'
uvajeniia lichnoi smelosti otdaiut.
Ministr je oborony za vse vremia ni razu ne byl na peredovoi.
Odin iz dvuh desantnyh generalov, neposredstvenno
shturmovavshih Groznyi, otkazalsia ot 'Geroia' za etu operaciiu.
Dudaev derjitsia bodro i grozit partizanskoi voinoi. "Vot
teper' (ostaviv Groznyi - A.A.) my im ustroim igru 'Zarnica'! "
Zvuchit dostatochno grozno - no, s drugoi storony, a kto vam
ran'she-to meshal? A do sih por reidov po russkim tylam, v obshem,
pochti ne bylo. Pravda, zima, po zasnejennym goram ne bol'no
pobegaesh'...
Pri etom armiia gotovitsia k vyhodu, na vseh urovniah
govoriat: "Vse, voevat' konchili, peredaem brazdy vnutrennim
voiskam".
Vnutrenie voiska je otvechaiut: "Voobshe-to nas ne uchili
arestovyvat' pravonarushitelei, raz'ezjaiushih na tankah".
Mass-media: vse privykli. Novosti iz Chechni uje idut vtorym
i tret'im nomerom.
Obshii nastroi gazet i TV - strogo pacifistskii. "Nevajno,
chto tam proishodit, no to, chto proishodit - ujasno." So vtorym
utverjdeniem soglasen, s pervym - net.
Russkii korrespondent beret interv'iu u komandira elitnogo
dudaevskogo otriada. Tot spokoen i dobrojelatelen, raskazyvaet:
"Na toi nedele my atakovali armiiu tam-to, unichtojili dva tanka i
sotniu soldat. Dva dnia nazad - tam-to, unichtojili dva BTR i 80
soldat. S nashei storony poter' poka ne bylo." Korrespondent -
sootechestvennik unichtojennyh soldat - s uvajeniem vnimaet i
vejlivo zadaet utochniaiushie voprosy.
Rasprostranennyi argument: "A vot v Dolgoprudnom toje mnogo
banditov - tak chto je, bombit' Dolgoprudnyi? (V Dolgoprudnom, po
sluham, baziruiutsia odni iz naibolee vliiatel'nyh moskovskih
gangsterov - A.A.)"
Te, kto ego ispol'zuiut, iavno nedoocenivaiut masshtaby
chechenskih sobytii - dudaevskaia armiia bez osobogo truda mogla
by zahvatit' nebol'shuiu evropeiskuiu stranu tipa Bel'gii. I esli
by v Dolgoprudnom stoial polnocennyi motostrelkovyi korpus
gangsterov, s artilleriei, aviaciei i PVO, - pojalui, prishlos'
by bombit', nikuda ne denesh'sia. Drugoe delo, chto v Moskve
eto (poka chto - t'fu-t'fu-t'fu) nevozmojno.
Nemnogo filosofii.
Gluboko uvajaemyi Sergei Adamovich Kovalev, provedshii
bol'she mesiaca v Groznom pod bombami, neskol'ko raz povtorial: "V
Chechne my voiuem ne s 'voorujennymi banditami' (oficial'naia
formulirovka - A.A.), a s voorujennym narodom." Utverjdenie,
bezuslovno, pravil'noe - no riskovannoe s tochki zreniia vyvodov.
V samom dele, predstavim sebe voorujennogo cheloveka - odnogo
- idushego s avtomatom na pleche po ulice goroda. Iasno, chto
liuboi policeiskii obiazan kriknut' emu: "Stoi! Ruki vverh!", i
esli tot ne podchinitsia - pristrelit' ego na meste. Esli je v
hode perestrelki mejdu nimi pogibnut prohojie - nu, policeiskogo
porugaiut za neprofessionalizm i, mojet byt', poniziat v
doljnosti. Moral'naia vina za pogibshih liajet, bezuslovno, na
bandita.
Imenno tak obstoiat dela i v N'iu-Iorke, i v Parije, i v
Moskve, i, skajem, v Rostove. V dannom konkretnom smysle Rossiia,
bezuslovno, prinadlejit k civilizovannomu miru.
I sovershenno neponiatno, s kakoi stati v otdel'no vziatom
gorode Groznom to, chto prostye grajdane hodiat po ulicam s
avtomatami i granatometami, doljno rassmatrivat'sia kak normal'noe
Koroche: zastrelit' voorujennogo cheloveka, okazyvaiushego
soprotivlenie - professional'naia obiazannost' kajdogo
policeiskogo. I chto principial'no meniaetsia, esli takih
voorujennyh 40 000 chelovek (v smysle - boesposobnyh mujchin) i
oni imenuiut sebia chechenskim narodom?
Konechno, prosh'e bylo by srazu mahnut' rukoi na
etu territoriiu, isklichit' ee iz Rossii i otgorodit' kolichei
provolokoi s minnym polem. No voobshe-to tam jilo 200 000
etnicheskih russkih, vpolne bezorujnyh i bezzashitnyh. Tak chto
takoe reshenie toje dorogo by oboshlos'.
Kstati, bol'she 100 000 (v osnovnom russkih) sbejali iz
Chechni s 91-go po 94-i, t.e. do vvoda armii. Utverjdaetsia, chto
narod bejal ottuda s bol'shei ohotoi, chem daje iz Tadjikistana
(gde voobshe-to idet grajdanskaia voina).
Nu a poluchilos' v konce koncov, "kak vsegda": mnojestvo
bessmyslennyh jertv, a bejencev - russkih i nerusskih - vse ravno
pridetsia kak-to prinimat'.
Nemnogo istorii.
V Chechne my imeem klassicheskii sluchai: narod s
rodoplemennym stroem popal v industrial'noe obshestvo. V
bol'shinstve civilizovannyh stran takoi problemy net, potomu chto
vse rodoplemennye narody perebili eshe do nastupleniia
industrial'nogo obshestva. Skajem, v Amerike posle Grajdanskoi
voiny pobedonosnuiu federal'nuiu armiiu napravili na Zapad
istrebliat' indeicev, s chem ona uspeshno spravilas'. Za skal'p
indeica platili premiiu - nebol'shuiu, no projit' etim bylo
mojno.
Anglichane je s ogromnym trudom assimilirovali shotlandcev
(poslednii raz te buntovali v 1746), a vot irlandcev ne smogli - i
do sih por imeiut kuchu problem. Poka dela idut neploho, eto mojno
kak-to amortizirovat' - a vdrug novaia Velikaia Depressiia?
Prichem, ob'ektivno govoria, mental'nost' rodoplemennogo
obshestva namnogo simpatichnee, chem sovremennogo: hrabrost',
vernost' slovu, chuvstvo sobstvennogo dostoinstva i patriotizm
podrazumevaiutsia avtomaticheski (bez nih prosto ne vyjit').
I, konechno, obshestvo, gde kajdyi mujchina - voorujennyi voin,
namnogo demokratichnee liuboi predstavitel'noi demokratii. Nu a
otsutstvie straha smerti - v tom smysle, chto "est' mnogo veshei
povajnee sobstvennoi jizni", naprimer, chest' - evropeicu voobshe
trudno predstavit'.
Tak chto chechency, bezuslovno, imeiut moral'noe pravo
schitat' liubogo evropeica truslivym i podlym rabom (a liubuiu
evropeiskuiu jenshinu - prostitutkoi). Nu v samom dele, chto eto
za mujchina, kotoryi ne nosit orujiia i ne sposoben zashitit'
sebia, a v sluchae chego prosit zashity u milicii?
Vse by horosho - no takoi mentalitet po ochevidnym prichinam
nesovmestim s industrial'noi civilizaciei (ne govoria uj o
post-industrial'noi). Bol'shinstvo industrial'nyh stran s takimi
narodami poprostu ne sviazyvaiutsia. Tipichnyi tupik - v Izraile,
gde palestincev istrebit' ili izgnat' kak by nehorosho (v
proshlom-to veke problem by ne bylo), a vkliuchit' v obshestvo
nikak ne poluchaetsia.
Nu i eshe, konechno, kurdy v Turcii - turki vrode by
pretenduiut na vhojdenie v civilizovannyi mir i voobshe chlen
NATO, no kak-to kurdskuiu problemu noroviat reshat' bombejkoi.
V samom dele, nu chto mojno sdelat' s chelovekom, kotoryi,
buduchi ostanovlennym za prevyshenie skorosti, streliaet v
policeiskogo, potomu chto podchinit'sia - pozorno?
Nu a Rossiia/SSSR vsegda gotova byla liuboi cenoi - vo vseh
smyslah - uderjivat' sovershenno nenujnuiu territoriiu. Tak chto
pri SSSR chechency v luchshem sluchae delali kar'eru v armii
(kak sam Dudaev), a v hudshem zanimalis' organizovannoi
prestupnost'iu - no nikogda ne stanovilis' k stanku. "Dlia etogo u
nas est' belye raby", t.e. russkie (citata iz pis'ma russkoi
bejenki iz Chechni). No prilichiia hudo-bedno sobliudalis'.
(Kstati, musul'mane iz chechencev dovol'no somnitel'nye.
Islam oni priniali vsego 200 let nazad, a tak byli iazychnikami,
kotorymi v znachitel'noi stepeni i ostalis' - dlia priniatiia
mirovoi religii nujno doiti hotia by do feodalizma.)
I vdrug okazalos', chto vsia vlast' russkih rassypalas', kak
kartochnyi domik, i ne ostalos' ot nee nichego, krome 50 000
avtomatov, 150 tankov, neizvestno skol'kih tysiach granatometov i
prochih simpatichnyh igrushek. (Chisla - eto oficial'nye dannye o
tom, skol'ko vsego ostalos' v Chechne, kogda ottyda vyshli -

Dear folks,
I've been away for a few days and "kina ne bylo", info-russ was closed
(as I have notified you in advance). Thus, the msg by Alik Suhanov,
below, is posted with a delay. Anyway, it is in essence, his reply to the
posting by Andrey Andrianov, posted by me about a week ago. The
Andrianov's posting was (unsually for him) pretty much a point of
view -- with a heavy tilt toward "THEY are bad guys too -- don't cry for
them", and "if we have to get them, it's OK to kill good people too".
I decided to post that posting to give you a glimpse into the way how
the thinking of some part of Russian "intelegentsia" is evolving -- and I
am not talking here about RRP ("Real Russ-Patriots":-), it is about people
whom you can relate to... I was a bit reluctant to post Alik Suhanov's
reply (well, discussions are not on a regular info-russ menu:-), but
thought that the point of view of another part of Russian "intelegentsia"
should be reflected too. Especially if coming from Russia, and
especially when its holder is a person who has seflessly made so great
contribution to the reporting about Russian-Chechen war and situation
in Russia in general. But it doesn't mean that I am starting an open
discussion on the subject, sorry...

Nam govorjat, chto ne vse tak prosto
Hi, folks!
Segodnja - 23 fevralja 1995 goda, 51 godovschina deportatsii ingushej i
chechentsev. Samoe vremja pogovorit' o zatronutoj v pis'me Andreja
Andrianova v Info-russ teme: chto delat' postindustrial'nomu obschestvu
s takimi ljud'mi? No snachala - neskol'ko dobavlenij i popravok.
Aleks Kaplan pishet:
>BTW, from yesterday's CNN broadcast: by estimates of various human
>rights groups, civilian losses in Chechnya -- 24,000 dead...
Eto kosvennyj kommentarij k slovam Andrianova
> Kstati, bol'she 100 000 (v osnovnom russkih) sbejali iz

> Nu a poluchilos' v konce koncov, "kak vsegda": mnojestvo
>bessmyslennyh jertv, a bejencev - russkih i nerusskih - vse ravno
>pridetsia kak-to prinimat'.
24,000 ubityh zhitelej Groznogo - eto TOCHNO USTANOVLENNYE poteri, eto
tol'ko ljudi, smert' kotoryh dokumentirovana. V komissii Kovaleva
est' ih poimennyj spisok. Obschie poteri mirnogo naselenija Groznogo,
vidimo, prevyshajut 40,000. CHislo bezhentsev prevyshaet 400,000.
Kstati, iz Tadzhikistana bezhalo prakticheski VSE russkoe naselenie, i
kak raz pri vlasti prorossijskogo (mjagko govorja) pravitel'stva.

>kotorymi v znachitel'noi stepeni i ostalis' - dlia priniatiia
>mirovoi religii nujno doiti hotia by do feodalizma.)
CHechentsy prinjali islam ne 200, a skoree 300 let nazad, no eto melochi.
Glavnoe nedorazumenie -
>pri SSSR chechency v luchshem sluchae delali kar'eru v armii
>(kak sam Dudaev), a v hudshem zanimalis' organizovannoi
>prestupnost'iu - no nikogda ne stanovilis' k stanku.
Upominanie stanka kak edinstvennoj al'ternativy armii ili bande
zamechatel'no. Krome chechentsev, pashuschih zemlju, ogromnaja chast' etogo
naroda - i v CHechne, i v diaspore - zanimaetsja torgovlej.
Dejstvitel'no, v soznanii [post]sovetskih ljudej torgovlja (v otlichie
ot "stojanija u stanka") pochti ne otlichaetsja ot banditizma, i
agressivnaja reklama "rynochnogo obraza zhizni" malo chto v etom menjaet.
Kstati, istorija evreev v Evrope i Rossii znaet takoj period, kogda
bol'shaja chast' naroda zanimalas' torgovlej i finansovym
posrednichestvom, vosprinimaemym naseleniem kak grabezh, i ochen'
mnogie obrazovannye i utonchennye evropejtsy 19 i tem bolee 18 vekak
pisali o nih primerno tak zhe - stil'nyj narod, ekzoticheskie obychai,
no zhit' v tsivilizovannom obschestve ne mogut: nikogda ne priznajut ego
zakonov, potomu chto sami sebe zakon - drevnij, dremuchij,
pastusheskij...
Na samom dele predstaviteli narodov Kavkaza (a massovaja sovetskaja
mental'nost' ne razlichaet "rodoplemennyh", po Andrianovu, chechentsev
ili lezgin i "feodal'no-kapitalisticheskih" azerbajdzhantsev) igrajut v
kapitalizirujuschejsja Rossii rovno tu zhe rol': javljajutsja provodnikami
"nizkogo", "roznichnogo" kapitalizma (predstaviteli prestizhnyh
natsional'nyh i sotsial'nyh grupp v eto vremja zasedajut v pravlenijah
vsjakogo roda Ost-Indskih kompanij - real'no gosmonopolij, ne imejuschih
k kapitalizmu nikakogo otnoshenija). Zaodno stress naselenija, vsegda
prisutstvujuschij pri kapitalizatsii otnoshenij, ottjagivaetsja ot
aristokratii (v nashem sluchae nomenklatury) na iznachal'no
neprestizhnuju sotsial'nuju gruppu.
Naschet zavoda, stanka i gor oruzhija, dostavshegosja ot Sovetov: CHechnja
ne PRODAVALA oruzhie Gruzii i Azerbajdzhanu, a POKUPALA ego. V Gruzii
russkie ostavili gorazdo bol'shie arsenaly, i legal'no. Kogda
pripeklo, chechentsy vstali i k stanku: zavod "Molot" v Groznom naladil
vypusk avtomatov (plohih, vprochem). Avtomat nazyvaetsja "Bors" i
predstavljaet sobstvennuju konstruktorskuju razrabotku, opirajuschujusja na
osnovu PPSH. On byl vypuschen tirazhom v neskol'ko sot tysjach. Kto byl v
Ierusalime, videl na odnoimennoj ploschadi Davidku - minomet iz
vodoprovodnoj truby, sklepannyj drugim rodoplemennym narodom 47 let
nazad.
Andrej Andrianov stavit samyj glavnyj vopros, kotoryj nam vsem nikak
ne obojti:
> V samom dele, predstavim sebe voorujennogo cheloveka - odnogo
>- idushego s avtomatom na pleche po ulice goroda. Iasno, chto
>liuboi policeiskii obiazan kriknut' emu: "Stoi! Ruki vverh!", i
>esli tot ne podchinitsia - pristrelit' ego na meste. Esli je v
>hode perestrelki mejdu nimi pogibnut prohojie - nu, policeiskogo
>porugaiut za neprofessionalizm i, mojet byt', poniziat v
>doljnosti. Moral'naia vina za pogibshih liajet, bezuslovno, na
>bandita.
> Imenno tak obstoiat dela i v N'iu-Iorke, i v Parije, i v
>Moskve, i, skajem, v Rostove. V dannom konkretnom smysle Rossiia,
>bezuslovno, prinadlejit k civilizovannomu miru.
> I sovershenno neponiatno, s kakoi stati v otdel'no vziatom
>gorode Groznom to, chto prostye grajdane hodiat po ulicam s
>avtomatami i granatometami, doljno rassmatrivat'sia kak normal'noe
> Koroche: zastrelit' voorujennogo cheloveka, okazyvaiushego
>soprotivlenie - professional'naia obiazannost' kajdogo
>policeiskogo. I chto principial'no meniaetsia, esli takih
>voorujennyh 40 000 chelovek (v smysle - boesposobnyh mujchin) i
>oni imenuiut sebia chechenskim narodom?
Esli v hode perestrelki pogibnut prohozhie - sovershenno nevazhno, na
kogo "padet moral'naja vina", gosudarstvo voobsche vnemoral'no, a vazhno
vot chto: esli gibel' prohozhih byla sluchajnoj, esli politsejskij
sdelal vse, chto polozheno, chtoby oni ne pogibli - ego dazhe ne "nu,
porugajut". No esli on ih (prohozhih) ZARANEE "spisal", tem bolee esli
nachal'nik politsii ili mer otdali prikaz ne zabotit'sja o prohozhih -
eti ljudi kak minimum ne dolzhny imet' otnoshenija k politsii. Armija
printsipial'no ne imeet takogo ogranichenija. Politsija sostoit iz ljudej,
prisjagavshih OBEREGAT' ZHIZNI obyvatelej i lish' pri etom ogranichenii
lovit' prestupnikov, armija - iz prisjagavshih NE SCHADIT' ZHIZNI
(nich'ej). Eto daet nam otvet na vopros Andreja - chem otlichaetsja
chelovek s avtomatom ot 40,000 i banda ot vooruzhennogo naroda. Te,
kogo mozhno arestovat' politsiej - banda, kogo mozhno pobedit' tol'ko
armiej - gosudarstvo ili narod. Nikakih drugih kriteriev - moral'nyh
ili legitimnyh (assambleja OON sostoit iz amoral'nyh rezhimov i
neligitimnyh pravitelej) ne byvaet. Sovremennoe mezhdunarodnoe pravo
terpimo k politsejskoj dejatel'nosti gosudarstva, no zapreschaet vojnu -
imenno poetomu.
Drugoj vopros, chto narastajuschee protivostojanie SEVER-JUG privodit k
tomu, chto v sovremennom zapadnom (severnom?) cheloveke vse chasche
prosypaetsja stremlenie vernut'sja v ujutnyj mir Srednevekov'ja, kogda
vojna byla delom obydennym, a sil'nyj - vsegda prav. No otkazat'sja
ot privychki myt' ruki pered edoj ne poluchaetsja. Otsjuda zhelanie,
chtoby Rossija, stojaschaja na rubezhe mirov, vzjala na sebja grjaznuju
rabotu. Oni nas budut nu ochen' blagodarit' - no ne pustjat dal'she
lakejskoj.

Blokady, zahvaty, sud'ba Gudermesa i brat Dudaeva
Hi, folks! 28/02/95
Nesmotrja na ukaz prezidenta, otmenivshego rezhim ChP v Ingushetii
i Osetii, voennye vlasti pristupili k "blokade" Ingushetii dlja
zhurnalistov. Prakticheski vseh zhurnalistov ne propuskajut v
Nazran' bez akkreditacii iz Mozdoka, akkreditacija stavitsja v
zavisimost' ot lojal'nosti. Lishen akkreditacii reporter
"Svobody" Aleksandr Evtushenko. Mezhdu prochim, po tehnicheskim
prichinam rabotat' iz Nazrani udobnee - tam est' teleterminal,
kotorogo net v Mozdoke (tochnee, est', no tol'ko dlja "svoih").
Stoit takzhe napomnit', chto s momenta nachala konflikta
prekrascheny rejsy grazhdanskoj aviacii v Nazran', Mahachkalu i
Vladikavkaz.
Prodolzhajutsja boi na juge Groznogo. Snova povtorjaetsja
utverzhdenie, chto federaly "blizki k ih okonchaniju". V plane -
sela Samashki i Bamut na zapade i goroda Shali, Argun i
Gudermes (vtoroj po velichine gorod respubliki) na vostoke.
Voennye govorjat, chto brat' ih shturmom, kak Groznyj, ne budut:
zaplanirovano ih POLNOE UNIChTOZhENIE aviaciej i tjazheloj
artilleriej.
Uchastilis' sluchai zahvatov medikov i personala gumanitarnyh
missij, dostavljajuschih v eti goroda pomosch'. V proshluju sredu
byli zahvacheny i do voskresen'ja ne osvobozhdeny poljaki,
privezshie medikamenty v bol'nicu g.Shali. Ih shvatili na
Dagestanskoj granice pri vyezde i ob'javili, chto ih missija -
okazanie pomoschi prestupnikam.
Pri osmotre S.Kovalevym fil'tracionnogo lagerja v Mozdoke
okazalos' 13 zakljuchennyh, bolee 20 predyduschej noch'ju byli
vyvezeny na gruzovike "Ural" v neizvestnom napravlenii.
Neskol'ko poslednih dnej postupali soobschenija o zahvate v
Groznom brata Dudaeva, dostavlennogo v "Lefortovo".
Nazyvalis' imena vseh 4 brat'ev, i my tut zaputalis'.
Uchityvaja, chto mladshemu iz figurantov 54 goda, a starshemu
(djade prezidenta) 102, putanica vygljadela stranno. Okazalos',
chto eto tot, kotoromu 54 goda, i vopreki pervym soobschenijam
(chto on byl sovetnikom Dudaeva) on rabotal shoferom gorodskogo
avtobusa v Groznom. Arestovan on po ukazu E, pozvoljajuschemu
zakljuchenie na 30 sutok bez obvinenija. Putanica svjazana s tem,
chto, kak zajavili v KGB, u chechencev trudnye v proiznoshenii
imena.
Iz drugih sobytij: v Orlovskoj oblasti proshli vybory
oblastnoj dumy. Kommunisty pobedili s bol'shim otryvom partiju
g-na Zh. (drugih prakticheski ne bylo). Chto neudivitel'no - v
pjatnicu Zh prerval skandal'nyj bojkot Dumy i ego frakcija v
polnom sostave progolosovala za bjudzhet (kotoryj ranee
otvergala). Krome nih, polnost'ju za golosovala partija Shahraja,
polnost'ju protiv - Javlinskij, DPR Glaz'eva (umerennye
nacionalisty-antikommunisty) i v osnovnom KPRF. Ostal'nye
(vkljuchaja gajdarovcev) razdelilis'. Bjudzhet, vprochem, imeet
tol'ko ideologicheskoe znachenie - podtverzhdenie vernosti
principam monetarizma pri poluchenii kredita MVF. Vypolnjat'
ego nikto i nikogda ne budet, i ja pochemu-to dumaju, chto v MVF
eto znajut tozhe.

Subject: INFO-RUSS: Who was a Nazi?
Status: O
Dear Net-colleagues:
While writing a monograph about some mathematics and its creators,
I thought some of you may be able to help me with information, leads
or materials. I have two requests.
1.I came to quite a disturbing for me realisation that one respected
celebrated scientist would CONSISTENTLY deny the other a due credit
possibly because the latter was a Jew.
In order to understand the situation, I need to follow a suggestion I
received from a colleague,that failure to give credit may be a consequence
of membership in the Nazi Party. It could have been an "ordinary"
membership. How do I go about finding out AND veryfying whether someone
was a Nazi?
2. I need photographs of and detailed biographical materials on all
periods of life of Issai Schur (Jan.10,1875, Mogilev--Jan.10,1941,Tel Aviv)
and Bartel L. van der Waerden (1903-- ).
Thank you in advance for your time,
Alexander Soifer (asoifer@uccs.edu)

Excerpts from OMRI DAILY DIGEST No. 45, Part I, 3 March 1995, AEK
-------------------------------------------------------------------
YELTSIN SACKS MOSCOW MVD CHIEF AND PROSECUTOR. At a mourning ceremony
for murdered Russian Public Television Director Vladislav Listev,
President Boris Yeltsin promised a new crackdown on organized crime,
declaring the authorities had the means "to make the mafia quaver,"
agencies reported. "Because we have been afraid of [being accused of]
turning Russia into a police state, we have been afraid to step up the
fight against bandits," he added. Yeltin singled out Moscow as the crime
center of Russia, accusing city officials of turning a blind eye to
mafia penetration of the Interior Ministry and the capital's
administrative bodies. He announced the dismissal of Moscow Prosecutor
Gennady Ponomarev and the capital's police chief, Vladimir Pankratov,
and appointed a high-level government commission, headed by Interior
Minister Viktor Yerin, to investigate the killing. Law enforcement
bodies have been harshly criticized following Listev's assassination.
Russian TV chairman Oleg Poptsov said the crime demonstrated their
"complete helplessness," adding that "nothing changes, but they want to
increase the strength of the militia and the Federal Counterintelligence
Service, they want to have the right to bug, to spy, to compile dossiers
on citizens." Duma security committee chairman Viktor Ilyukhin said the
issue of Yerin's resignation might be raised again in the parliament,
but he noted earlier calls for his dismissal (after, for example, the
assassination of Duma deputy Andrei Aizdrdis) had been ignored by the
president. -- Penny Morvant, OMRI, Inc.
DEPUTIES SPEAK OUT AGAINST DISMISSAL OF PONOMAREV. The chairmen of the
legal committees of the State Duma and Federation Council, Vladimir
Isakov and Issa Kostoev respectively, issued a joint statement defending
the dismissed Moscow prosecutor. They described Ponomarev as one of the
country's best prosecutors who was known for his unbiased position and
argued that he was being made a scapegoat for disorder in the Russian
Prosecutor's Office, which has had "no legitimate leader" for more than
a year. (The parliament has consistently refused to confirm the
appointment of acting Prosecutor-General Aleksei Ilyushenko.) Isakov and
Kostoev warned that if Ponomarev were actually removed, they would raise
the issue in parliament, saying "prosecutors themselves need protection
. . . .;. The arbitrariness of crime must not grow into a criminal
arbitrariness of power." Duma security committee head Viktor Ilyukhin
said he has evidence that the Moscow prosecutor was to be sacked in the
spring and contended that the authorities had used Listev's death as a
pretext to dismiss Ponomarev beforehand, Interfax reported. Federation
Council deputy Yury Boldyrev said Ponomarev's dismissal was "a typical
case of using the death of a well-known person in political games." He
noted that Ponomarev had begun a criminal case against Ilyushenko on
charges of "fabricating a case against former Vice President Alexander
Rutskoi." -- Penny Morvant, OMRI, Inc.
JOURNALISTS REACT WITH SORROW, ANGER TO LISTEV'S MURDER. Coverage of
Listev's assassination dominated the Russian press and television on 2
March. All six Russian television channels broadcast Listev's photo from
noon to 7 p.m., the first time Russian programming was so drastically
altered since the death of Communist leader Konstantin Chernenko in
1985, Reuters reported. Russian newspapers of nearly every political
orientation prominently featured tributes to Listev. A headline in
Nezavisimaya gazeta was typical: "Now anything is possible in Russia."
On the same day, Russia's Union of Journalists released an angry
statement, complaining that while political figures try to put more
restrictions on the press, "Not a single journalist's murder has been
fully investigated," Interfax reported. Eduard Salagaev, chairman of
Russia's private TV Channel 6, demanded the immediate resignation of the
heads of Russia's "power ministries" (interior, defense, and FSK).
Russian TV chairman Poptsov told Interfax that Russia's journalists must
unite to save the country from further catastrophe: "We hold the key to
society's conscience and we will either wake it up or will die along
with it." -- Laura Belin, OMRI, Inc.
LISTEV KILLED FOR FINANCIAL GAIN . . . Russian observers are divided on
whether financial or political motives lie behind Listev's murder.
Yeltsin's spokesman, Vyacheslav Kostikov, told reporters on 2 March that
Listev's "contract killing" was connected to "disorder in the
advertising sector, which is probably controlled by the mafia." Russia's
Choice leader Yegor Gaidar suggested on Ekho Moskvy that Listev "crossed
the path of someone whose income was based on the illegal sale of
advertising time." On 1 March, Ostankino TV chairman Alexander Yakovlev
had estimated that Ostankino's new rules on advertising would have cost
unnamed "moguls" at least 30 billion rubles ($6.6 million) a month. The
State Duma press and information committee chairman Mikhail Poltoranin
said the November 1994 reorganization of Ostankino Channel One into
Russian Public Television Ostankino was "a hastily planned adventure,"
Interfax reported on 2 March. He added, "The old mafia around Ostankino
will not give up such a juicy morsel as channel one without blood." --
Laura Belin, OMRI, Inc.
. . . OR FOR POLITICAL REASONS? Other observers suggested that
Listev's assassination was politically motivated. After first blaming
those who would have suffered financially from the advertising rules,
Yakovlev changed his tune on 2 March, telling Yeltsin that "ultimately
this was a political murder." Vsevolod Bogdanov, chairman of the Union
of Journalists, also linked the killing to a battle for "influence" in
Russian society. Sergei Gryzunov, chairman of the Russian State Press
Committee, whose dismissal was suspended by President Yeltsin on 28
February, told Interfax that Listev's murder "has nothing to do with
criminal activity" but is connected to recent attempts to restrict press
freedoms, as well as Russia's upcoming election campaign. Meanwhile,
others expressed fears that politicians will use the atmosphere of
crisis following Listev's murder to consolidate power. Alexander Lisin,
editor of Vechernaya Moskva, believes the assassination will be
"profitable to those who want to impose a state of emergency in Russia
and extend the powers of the State Duma and President Yeltsin
indefinitely." Television director Nikolai Svanidze told viewers of the
Commonwealth television network, "There will be elections and people
will follow the first bastard to say, 'I will restore order, I will
defend you.' And we, like a flock of frightened sheep, will choose a
wolf to protect us and he will use us for his own purposes." -- Laura
Belin, OMRI, Inc.

Hi, folks! 6/03/1995
Obeschannoe E v pjatnicu uvol'nenie moskovskogo prokurora i policmejstera

problem prestupnosti v Moskve. V 37 godu esche snimali portrety vidnyh
osob nezadolgo do aresta, a tak - ochen' pohozhe.
Uvol'nenie prokurora Moskvy Ponomareva mozhno postavit' esche v odin
kontekst - s uvol'neniem, v nachale chechenskoj vojny, ministra justicii
Kalmykova. Eto - chast' kampanii po chistke pravovoj sistemy ot
otnositel'no nezavisimyh juristov. Prikaz ob uvol'nenii Ponomareva
podpisal i.o. genprokurora Il'jushenko. Stoit napomnit', chto imenno
Ponomarev god s nebol'shim nazad prekratil delo po obvineniju Ruckogo v
korrupcii (Ruckoj v eto vremja byl v Lefortove po obvineniju v
gosperevorote). Ponomarev, kstati, priznal "dokazatel'stva" fal'shivkoj
i vozbudil delo o poddelke protiv "neizvestnyh lic". Eti "neizvestnye
lica" s bol'shoj verojatnost'ju byli: advokat Andrej Makarov (nyne

(mezhdunarodnyj avantjurist i mnogokratnyj agent, nyne v tjur'me

Samashek, Bamuta i Achhoj-Martana (zapadnoe napravlenie). V voskresen'e
rossijskoj storonoj byli sorvany peregovory voennyh predstavitelej

Yeltsin will ... soon sign a decree increasing the role of the Federal
Counterintelligence Service in uncovering crimes and restoring its
investigative organs. According to Lobov, 2.6 million crimes were
committed in Russia in 1994, nearly 1 million of which have not been
solved. -- Penny Morvant, OMRI, Inc.
So far, seven potential candidates to head the Russian government department
to coordinate the Chechen reconstruction have refused the position. -- Liz
AIR FORCE DROPPING MINES IN CHECHNYA. The Russian Air Force has been
dropping mines on various "strategically important" Chechen regions
controlled by Dudaev supporters over the last several days... Aircraft-
delivered mines are considered particularly dangerous because no accurate
record can be kept of their location. -- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
RUSSIAN INSPECTORS AT U.S. MISSILE BASE. A team of Russian inspectors
arrived at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana on 5 March, after having
specified that location for their first surprise inspection under the
terms of the START-1 treaty, which entered into force last December,
Western agencies reported. As many as 200 Minuteman ICBMs were once
stationed at Malmstrom. The leader of the 10-member Russian team said
the event was "a very momentous occasion." The Russians will visit 36
U.S. strategic nuclear sites over a four-month period in order to verify
the accuracy of the data the Americans have provided, while American
inspectors will look at 65 former Soviet nuclear weapons facilities in
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. -- Doug Clarke, OMRI, Inc.
VORKUTA MINERS BEGIN INDEFINITE POLITICAL STRIKE. Miners at the Yuzhnaya
pit in Vorkuta began an all-out strike on 6 March, the chairman of the
pit's independent trade union told Interfax. The miners are demanding
the resignation of the president and government to protest the fact that
they have not been paid since December 1994. The same day, a week-long
strike by 600 mine construction workers in Vorkuta was suspended after
the Vorkutaugol association paid the workers' employer, Poloz, debts
from November and December 1994.

Hi, folks! 8/03/1995
Segodnja komandovanie pozdravilo zhenschin, prinimajuschih uchastie
v chechenskoj vojne (na federal'noj storone) i poblagodarilo
ih za vklad v "pobedu".
Okonchatel'no opredelilas' novaja taktika vojsk, o kotoroj ja
pisal uzhe: otkaz ot soprikosnovenija vojsk i postepennoe
unichtozhenie naselenija i material'nyh resursov Chechni
primeneniem tjazheloj artillerii i aviacii. Osnovnymi celjami
vse poslednie dni byli goroda Gudermes, Shali, Argun (pochti
pokinutyj naseleniem), sela Bamut, Samashki, Achhoj-Martan
(centr odnoimennogo rajona), Nizhnie i Verhnie Atagi.
MASSOVYJ harakter priobrelo ispol'zovanie igol'chatyh bomb
(tochnee, snarjadov) - kategoricheski zapreschennogo oruzhija
massovogo porazhenija. Kazhdoe ranenie odinochnoj igloj
garantirovanno delaet invalidom (vse ranenija oslozhnjajutsja
gnojnym processom). Otmecheny sluchai primenenija sharikovyh
bomb i vakuumnogo vzryva (poslednij vid oruzhija massovo
primenjalsja v Groznom pri shturme centra goroda).
Eta taktika segodnja nachala prinosit' plody: rukovodstvo
Achhoj-Martanovskogo rajona "kapitulirovalo", i federaly
prekratili obstrel Achhoj-Martana i Samashek v otvet na otkaz
ot vooruzhenogo soprotivlenija. Bamut (v tom zhe rajone)
obstrelivalsja do vechera. Eto zakrepljaet kontrol' federalov
nad dorogoj k Ingushetii, zavoevannoj 3 dnja nazad. Vmeste s
tem ja ne dumaju, chto eto lokal'noe peremirie budet dolgim:
komandovanie prosto ne smozhet postavit' pod kontrol'
grabezhi i nasilie (dazhe esli zahochet). Napoleonovskij
lozung "vojna dolzhna sebja kormit'" stal fakticheskim zakonom
povedenija vojsk, osobenno s prihodom bol'shogo kolichestva
soldat divizij MVD i OMONa. Prakticheski smenilas'
motivacija: teper' ne mest', a vozmozhnost' grabit' i
vyvozit' nagrablennoe opredeljaet interes federal'nyh
soldat.
V Moskve - serija antivoennyh vystuplenij, preimuschestvenno
zhenskih (specifika dnja). Otmetilis' kak krasnye
(Anpilovki), tak i "bespartijnoe" Dvizhenie soldatskih
materej. Kak voditsja, mezhdu etimi dvumja otrjadami borcov za
mir proishodili stychki (v osnovnom slovesnye).
Molodoj Brodskij skazal o nas s vami, gospoda: "i kak

Subject: INFO-RUSS: 25th Anniversary of an Important Letter
Status: Or
25 years ago, on 8 March, 1970, a letter signed by 40 Jews of
Moscow was presented to the Soviet authorities. The letter was prompted by
a press conference, several days before, at which a group of prominent
"citizens of Jewish nationality" had publicly proclaimed, in the name of
all Soviet Jews, their undivided loyalty to the USSR as well as absurdity
of any assumption that anybody, in his right mind, could decide to leave
it.
The letter (known as the Letter of the 39 Moscow Jews, although a
40th signatory joined at the last moment) stated, in very clear and
unambiguous words, that its authors were ready to leave for Israel "even on
foot if necessary." No current or former resident of the S.U. would ask
whether a counter press conference requested in the letter was in fact
granted. However, the letter became known all over the world thanks to
wonderful cooperation between the Jewish emigration activists and the human
rights defenders ("dissidents") in Moscow as well as swift work of some
Western correspondents. It surely wasn't the first (nor the last) such
letter, but probably the first that received such publicity: it was carried
by major newspapers, including the New York Times, broadcast by V. of A.
and others, and even "echoed" in Izvestiya, predictably, in a very hostile
manner.
The Letter of the 39 bacame an important landmark in the struggle
for free movement across the borders and in the advancement of human rights
(one of which is the freedom to move across the borders). Most of its
authors eventually left, some (including myself) months after signing the
letter, others after considerable time, efforts, and suffering. The ability
of people to leave the USSR and its successor states when they wish and to
return when they wish has improved somewhat, although the situation is far
from complete freedom. The hopes on the general situation of the human
rights were largely dispelled by the Chechen war and other ugly events.

TATAR OPPOSITION ADMITS DEFEAT. A conference of Tatarstan's democratic,
nationalist, and communist movements announced that the "party of power"
had won the 5 March elections to the republican legislature, Interfax
reported on 9 March. None of the opposition candidates are leading going
into the 19 March runoffs.
49 out of the 61 administrative constituencies had elected their
administration heads, while the 69 territorial constituencies elected 20
representatives of the "party of power." The deputies from the
administrative districts will meet two or three times a year, while the
territorial representatives will work in permanent session. -- Robert
Orttung, OMRI, Inc.
U.S. DUPED IN PURCHASE OF MISSILE SYSTEM. Russian intelligence agents
duped the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) into thinking it was
buying the latest model of Russia's S-300 air defense system when, in
fact, it received a training model that had been tinkered with for years
by cadets at a Minsk military school, Kommersant-Daily reported on 9
March. Last December, a Russian civilian cargo plane made a secret
delivery to the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. It was soon
revealed in both the American and Russian press that this was a S-300
system that had been purchased from Belarus for $6 million by a company
acting as a cover for the DIA. The paper said the key to the S-300
system is a container it called "F-9"--described as the command and
control cabin that integrated the radars and the missiles into a system.
It said the F-9 cabin delivered to the Americans and the one used in the
real S-300 PMU system--the most modern version--were "worlds apart." It
also suggested Russian military intelligence agents had equipped the
system with "peculiar software, to put it mildly." -- Doug Clarke, OMRI,
Inc.
ALCOHOL BLAMED FOR FALLING MALE LIFE EXPECTANCY. Alcoholism of "pandemic
proportions" is responsible for the sharp fall in life expectancy among
Russian men, according to a study by the University of Wales, Western
agencies reported on 10 March. Consumption of pure alcohol rose from
10.7 liters per inhabitant in 1987 to 14 liters in 1992 and the number
of deaths officially attributed to alcohol poisoning increased from
117,000 to 262,000. Men are said to be four times more likely to become
alcoholics than women, which is reflected in data on life expectancy: 59
years for men (down six years from 1987 to 1993) and 72 years for women
(down two years over the same period). The study noted that after price
liberalization the cost of alcohol rose far less than that of other
consumer goods and foods, leading to increased consumption, particularly
of vodka. Consumption of lethal home-brewed spirits also increased. --

marathon runners (approximately 5) is looking for a place to stay for 2-3
month in Albuquerque (New Mexico) or in the place with the same height
above the sea level (2,000 meters and above). They plan to stay and train
there and then come down and participate in different races (10 and 15 kilo-
meters, half-marathons and marathons).
They need a place to stay beginning in April (beginning or middle of the
month). The place should be pretty cheap and not very big (one bedroom will
be more then enough). I am looking for your suggestions and recomendations
about apartment complexes there or possibilities to rent house or part of
the house. Some of the runners are very well known in the world of marathon,
for example one of them, Irina Bogacheva, won and placed very high in some
very prestigious marathons (1st in Clevelan and San Francisco, 2nd in Good-
will Games in Moscow and Seattle and so on).
If there will be somebody willing to host this group or part of the
group, this will be appreciated very much. The place should not have
any kind of sport facilities around, the only requirement is that it
should be about 2,000 meteres above sea level or higher.
All your information (addresses of the appartment complexes, other
addresses, contact phone numbers and other information) will be highly
appreciated.
Please, write directly to me at the addresses below:

Uvol'nenie Kovaleva i boj za Argun
Hi, folks! 10/03/95
Segodnja Duma ogromnym bol'shinstvom (240 vmesto 225 neobhodimyh)
uvolila S.Kovaleva s posta upolnomochennogo po pravam cheloveka.
S.Jushenkov ushel v otstavku s posta predsedatelja komiteta po
oborone. Za uvol'nenie Kovaleva golosovali vse partii, krome
"Vybora" i "Jabloka", v tom chisle centristy ("Zhenschiny" i
Dempartija Glaz'eva). Eto sobytie javljaetsja ogromnym uspehom
gruppy El'cina. Protivniki vojny lishilis' legal'nyh
parlamentskih sredstv vozdejstvija na situaciju.
Golosovanie v Dume otrazhaet postepennoe (i daleko ne
zavershivsheesja) vozvraschenie politicheskogo teatra v Moskve k
raskladu, suschestvovavshemu do vojny (protivostojanie
"demokraty-zapadniki" - "nacionalisty, gosudarstvenniki,
kommunisty"), no v neizmerimo bolee vygodnom dlja partii vlasti
variante. Opasnost' dlja vlasti (takticheskogo) sojuza raznyh
oppozicionnyh sil ustranena. Ne mogu umolchat', chto "demokraty"
i lichno Kovalev nesut bol'shuju dolju politicheskoj viny za eto
(otvergaja dazhe nameki na vozmozhnost' takih sojuzov). MOZhET
OKAZAT'SJa, chto segodnja g-n E neozhidanno vyigral svoju, v
kakoj-to moment pochti proigrannuju, lichnuju vojnu.
Federal'nye vojska segodnja, pohozhe, nachali davno ozhidaemoe
nastuplenie, pri podderzhke aviacii i moschnyh tankovyh sil, na
gorod Argun.

Subject:INFO-RUSS:for those lost in ether
Status: O
Dear friend,
If you received this posting, you used to subscribe to INFO-RUSS, but
at some point got "lost in the ether". That mean that your account or
machine or node began bouncing back info-russ postings with all kind of
"nondelivery" msgs ("no such user", or "cannot receive mail" or "service
unavailable", etc.). I set my program in such a way that my mailer ignore
these msgs for many days, but after that the faulty account has to be
deleted from my list; otherwise, my mailbox get jammed by those msgs.
Once in a while, though, I send this posting for those lost in the
ether, to give you an opportunity to join info-russ if you still wish
to and if your account is alive again. I have now more than 1000
subscribers from all over the world, and you are as welcome as anybody
else. Below please find a little data sheet for updated info about
yourself that I need for your resubscription, as well as short info
about info-russ (in case you forgot about it:-). My best, and
welcome back.
--Alex Kaplan, INFO-RUSS owner/coordinator
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to subscribe to INFO-RUSS mail-list (IR-list) (i.e. have
all the msgs from IR-list and receive periodically a list of addresses
of all the subscribers), I'll need you to send to
the following information about yourself:
(i) e-mail address and real-life name in exactly this format:
xxxxx@yy...zzz # Firstname M. Lastname
(ii) affiliation (e.g. name of the university & Dept., or company)
(iii) address (including state&zip code) & country (office address will do)
(iv) phone & FAX numbers (this item is optional)
Only item (i) will be broadcasted as part of the subscriber's list.
Subscription to INFO-RUSS is free.
Here is the description of the IR-list:
---------------------------------------------------------------
This news-group run by me started on August 15'91 with about 40 addresses,
and has now 1000+ addresses on its distribution list. It is intended to
link people in a Russian-speaking or having related interests community
outside of ex-Sovok (mostly, but not exclusively, refugees and emigrants)
to each other, to be of info-help to them, and to serve as a medium for
informal communication in that community in the US and worldwide. A user
(who may not necessarily be a subscriber) can use INFO-RUSS for a relevant
request, announcement, etc. Your message e-mailed to a certain address (see
below) will be broadcasted to all the subscribers. If there are no special
events, we have about 30 msgs/month.
At this point, IR-list is mediated by me. Both English and Russian languages
are used. To write in Russian, we use English alphabet for transliteration
(skazhem, kak zdes'.) I keep mailing the updated list with names and
e-addresses to all the subscribers on a more or less regular basis.
Msg length: no longer than 2-3 kb (except for special occasions). Style:
concise, friendly, no-nonsence. I try to keep the msg traffic as LOW as
possible. This is NOT a discussion list (although occasional and humorous
discussions are OK). Flame "wars" are strongly discouraged. The frequency
of postings by the same subscriber is restricted to one posting in 30 days.
This news-group should NOT be used for commercial purposes.
How does the INFO-RUSS group work? To broadcast your message send it to:
Your message will be put on a queue in my computer; I check the queue
regularly and relay your message for the entire IR-group.
To subscribe, send a msg to:
(for the required info, go back to the top of this msg).
