Dear netters,
I will appreciate if somebody can give me an advise on travel to Russia. I
have not been in Russia for almost five years. Something strongly changed
for that time but something not. So, I will appreciate the help from
anybody who knows the new reality.
1. Money. What works in Russia except cash? Can I use personal US checks,
travel checks, credit and debit cards (including cash advances)?
2. I expect to interact with minor and senior officials, like DVORNIK,
UBORCHITSA, KANTSELIARISTKA, etc. Five years ago a pack of Marlboro, audi
or video tape, one dollar worth watch, etc. could serve as a perfect
souvenirs to make friends with those kind of people. As well, that stuff
worked fine as souvenirs for scientific colleagues. What stuff can be used
for the same purpose now (for men and for women)?
3. I have a green card. To avoid unwanted questions of Russian board guards
about emigration, I took the return ticket with the stop in Europe. Recently
I got a warning from my relatives in Russia. They say that according to
some rules, Russian citizens leaving the country by air MUST have the
return ticket. Does anybody knows anything about this problem? Who and at
what stage will ask me to show that return ticket?
I would greatly appreciate any reply.
Sincerely,

Reuter, Monday July 1 5:43 PM EDT
Yeltsin on TV, Fails to Dispel Health Doubts
MOSCOW (Reuter) - Boris Yeltsin failed to dispel doubts about
his health and ability to rule Russia for another four years
when he made a brief television appearance Monday, two days
before a presidential election runoff against Communist leader
Gennady Zyuganov.
``We haven't seen him for several days and today they showed us
a painted mummy as if they'd just got it from the mausoleum.
Today they are suggesting we vote for a living corpse,'' said a
key Zyuganov backer, nationalist legislator Stanislav
Govorukhin, who suggested the runoff be postponed until Yeltsin
felt better.
In a two-minute speech from behind a wooden desk, Yeltsin
looked like a shadow of the man who threw off his jacket and
energetically danced the twist at a rock concert a few weeks
ago during his re-election campaign.
Although he spoke clearly, the 65-year-old president looked
stiff and there was not a trace of emotion in his voice as he
read from a television monitor.
``I know exactly what to do, I have the strength, will and
decisiveness for that. What is needed now is your support,'' he
said.
The official explanation for his four-day absence from public
view, and the cancellation of several meetings, had been a sore
throat brought on by months of grueling campaigning.
But Yeltsin's voice did not sound husky and officials changed
their line Monday, saying he had been suffering from a cold.
Even if Yeltsin has recovered completely, doubters may consider
the secrecy and confusion over his absence since last Wednesday
a symptom of some more serious ailment.
During that time, his aides' vague explanations and their past
record of hiding the full truth about the president's health
did little to inspire confidence.
The mostly pro-Yeltsin Russian media have paid scant attention
to the health scare, only fueling speculation of a coverup
reminiscent of the 1970s and early 1980s when Leonid Brezhnev,
Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko -- all invalids --
occupied the Kremlin
``We haven't seen Mr. Yeltsin for four days,'' Zyuganov told a
news conference before the televised speech.
``I want to see the official conclusion on the state of health
of Mr Yeltsin...I would like to know the real situation. Why
have they cancelled all of his meetings?''
The Kremlin presented its handling of the health scare as
completely open, summoning reporters for a briefing Friday to
tell them that Yeltsin had nothing worse than a sore throat.
They may have been telling the complete truth. But their
problem is that in the past they have proved less than frank.
When Yeltsin suffered heart problems a year ago, the Kremlin
issued a photograph of him which purported to show him at work
in a hospital. But the picture so strongly resembled one taken
months earlier that it was widely dismissed as a fake.
When the Kremlin press service claimed Yeltsin was issuing
various decress over the weekend, without television showing
any new pictures of him at work, it reeked of an effort to
create a false impression that the president was well.
Uneasiness only grew when the influential current affairs
program Itogi, broadcast by the NTV commercial television
channel, avoided focusing on the health issue Sunday. Itogi was
critical of Yeltsin until NTV's head joined his campaign team.
``We have to assume that there is more to it than only a sore
throat,'' a Western diplomat said. ``This may not influence the
election but the big question is what will happen after the
election?''
That is the question Zyuganov is trying to raise on the eve of
the vote. The campaign has clearly drained Yeltsin and the
latest health scare raises doubts about his ability to govern
properly for a full four-year term.
Sergei Filatov, a Yeltsin campaign aide, dismissed talk of
Yeltsin dropping out of the election to allow Alexander Lebed,
who was third in the first round election June 16, to step in
under the election rules.
Should the president prove unable to govern once he is in
office, his prime minister should take over his duties
temporarily until a new election is held.
But political analysts have speculated that power could simply
pass into the hands of Kremlin cronies with Yeltsin remaining
as a figurehead, raising questions about who controls a huge
country with a large nuclear arsenal.

LEBED: "I AM NOT A FULL DEMOCRAT." In remarks to journalists on 2 July,
Aleksandr Lebed said "I do not consider
myself a full democrat, I am a semi-democrat". Lebed
expressed a preference for a strong presidency, saying that
"parliamentary democracy is not [good] for this country." ^
-----------------------
Novoe pokolenie vybiraet kommunyak
(Sovokinform editorial, v narushenie tradicij "informa")
Edinodushie, s kotorym byvshie antisovetchiki golosuyut za byvshego chlena
politbyuro CK KPSS, - glavnaya zagadka e'toj predvybornoj kampanii.
Argument v opravdanie vyskazyvaetsya stol' zhe edinodushno:
"A za kogo eqe golosovat'? Kommunisty zhe EQE huizhe." Na vopros, a pochemu
by ne za Yavlinskogo, sleduet edinodushnyj otvet: "Ego nikogda ne vyberut."
Estestvenno, ego nikogda ne vyberut, esli za nego nikogda ne golosovat'.
Teper', sobstvenno, vybor uzhe sdelan. Rossiya vybrala kommunistov. Zavtra
strana budet vybirat' mezhdu kommunistami-shtrih i kommunistami-dva-shtriha.
Tol'ko, pozhalujsta, ne nado nazyvat' Elkinskoe pravitel'stvo
demokraticheskim (sm. vyshe), nekommunisticheskim, i t.d. V nem net
NI ODNOGO chlena, kotoryj ne sostayal by v KPSS. I e'to pravitel'stvo,
ruki kotorogo uzhe v krovi. Partiya vlasti dokazala, chto ona ne
ostanovitsya pered vooruzhennym nasiliem, esli ej ochen' prispichet.
Chem, sobstvenno, bombardirovka bazara v Groznom otlichaetsya ot bombardi-
rovki bazara v Saraevo? Skol'ko by mne ne govorili pro to, chto Yavlinskogo
nikogda ne vyberut, ya tak i ne ponyal, pochemu iz e'togo sleduet, chto
nuzhno golosovat' za kommunyak, po kotorym plachet Gaagskij tribunal.
Mozhet, Yavlinskij i vpravdu naiven, nesgovorchiv i neopyten, no u nego
hotya by ruki ne v krovi.
Da i prichem tut Yavlinskij? Pocehumu by ni, skazhem, Nemcov? Ili voobqe
kakoj-nibud' Petuhov? Chto, iz 150 mln chelovek nel'zya najti odnogo
poryadochnogo?
Pechal'no, chto Rossiya vpervye v svoej istorii dobilas' prava vybora, i
vybrala vybirat' mezhdu chumoj i holeroj. Tol'ko teper', rebyata, ne
govorite, chto v 17 godu bol'shevikov nikto ne vybiral. V 96 vy ih vybrali
sami.

Date: Tue, 2 Jul 1996 17:29:43 -0400 (EDT)
Can anyone who is reading Russian newspapers/watching TV
or staying in contact woth people in Russia
summarize it's coverage of elections
here is a list of what I "heard" up to now,
confirmations/denials/additions welcome:
1. pre-1-part: all candidates except Eltzyn were virtually ignored
(AFAIU, Zyuganov has his own press - Sovetskaya Rossiya?,
what about others?)
2. last-day Yavlinsky's TV time slot was taken by Eltzyn,
still partly played later (Suhanov)
3. Lebed got extra coverage last 2 weeks before elections
4. currently: When Russia's Boris Yeltsin popped back
into the public eye Monday after vanishing for days because
of ill health, most of Russia barely noticed. The reason: Few
knew he had disappeared in the first place.
Thanks to national media that are unabashedly behind Mr.
Yeltsin in his presidential race against Communist Gennady
Zyuganov, most voters have yet to be informed of the
sudden and mysterious sickness of their president, who has
a history of heart trouble.
"We've heard nothing about it," said Sergei Yusov, head of
the electoral commission in the Rostov region 800 miles
south of Moscow. Reached in the industrial city of Kovrov,
about 160 miles northeast of Moscow, local Yeltsin
campaign manager Vladimir Khabarov was also in the dark.
"We didn't know about this through the press," he said.
...
Yeltsin's rival, Mr. Zyuganov, said at a news
conference Monday that a sick Mr. Yeltsin had no business
claiming the presidency "when the country itself is on the
verge of a heart attack." But, par for the course in
modern-day Russia, Mr. Zyuganov's statement didn't make
the nightly news.
(Wall Street Jounral, July 2, front section)
5. the story of Lebed on Mormons and Jews & Kazaks made New York Times
and was officially protested by US government,
but seems to be unknown in Moscow (private communications)
p.s.
Here is from July 2 monitor:
- Russian constitution on electing disabled bodies and
- who knows what Lebed says:
CONSTITUTION VAGUE ON TRANSFER OF POWER. What would happen if Boris Yeltsin
were to become seriously ill today? If he was unable to take part in the
runoff against Gennady Zyuganov, the election would be postponed and
Yeltsin's place would be taken by Aleksandr Lebed as the candidate who
placed third in the first round. But things would become more complicated if
Yeltsin was to be elected tomorrow, and only then became too sick to assume
office. The constitution states that, if an incumbent president is unable to
execute his duties, the prime minister temporarily takes his place and
organizes fresh presidential elections within three months. However, a newly
elected president must be sworn in within 30 days of the publication of the
official election results. (In the case of the current runoff, officials
have been saying that August 6 is the most likely date for the
inauguration.) The constitution does not say what happens if a
president-elect becomes incapacitated before he is sworn in. Even more
complicated, the constitution requires the prime minister to tender his
resignation to the new president, but does not say who takes over the reins
if the president becomes incapacitated before he has named a new prime
minister and had him approved by parliament.
Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin would doubtless argue that the prime
minister's duty to act as caretaker of the nation outweighed his obligation
to resign, but he would be on uncertain ground and might well be challenged
by Aleksandr Lebed, who in recent days has claimed broad responsibilities
for national security that so far have no legal basis. A stand-off between
premier and national security czar would likely be won by the man who
commanded the loyalty of the armed forces. Lebed might well consider that he
was that man and that conviction could prompt him to make the bid for
supreme power. Much criticized as Yeltsin's democratic record has been, he
has generally been credited with having tried to introduce some degree of
order into the Kremlin's traditionally murky way of transferring power. The
present frailty of Yeltsin's health underlines the frailty of the Russia's
fledgling democratic institutions and reveals how close to the surface the
skeletons of Kremlin dictators lie.
AUTHORSHIP OF NATIONAL SECURITY DOCUMENT DEBATED. A controversy between
Russia's two leading news agencies has developed over differing claims as to
the authorship of a draft Russian national security concept paper published
June 26 by Interfax and attributed to Security Council secretary Aleksandr
Lebed. (See Monitor, June 27) A day later, the competing Itar-Tass news
agency published what it claimed was a denial by Lebed that he had been
involved in drafting the notably hard-line document. According to Itar-Tass,
Lebed suggested that the document, entitled "A New Approach to National
Security Problems," had actually been prepared prior to his entry into the
Russian government.
But on June 28 Interfax fired back, claiming that it had received
confirmation from Lebed's press service that the document was indeed
produced by a group working under Lebed. It also claimed to have received
word from Lebed himself that the document reflected his views. The press
service, meanwhile, did make the point that the published document was only
a draft, but it suggested that the final version of the concept was expected
to vary from it in only minor ways. Finally, sources described as close to
Lebed reportedly told Interfax that the remarks run by Itar-Tass as Lebed's
own had in fact not come from the retired general. (Interfax, June 28)

Saljut Pobedy
4/07/1996
Segodnja v Moskve, vskore posle ob'javlenija predvaritel'nyx
rezul'tatov vyborov, byl dan saljut. Vprochem, vozmozhno, tak
otmechali Den' Nezavisimosti SShA...
Eta detal' - dostojnoe zavershenie "obrazcovo demokraticheskoj"
izbiratel'noj kampanii. Vchera ja shel na svoj izbiratel'nyj
uchastok mimo mnogix desjatkov plakatov, prizyvajuschix golosovat'
za El'cina (chasche - protiv Zjuganova) - xotja agitacija v den'
vyborov i dazhe nakanune zapreschena (pochti vse oni naxodilis' za
steklami vitrin magazinov i drugix municipal'nyx uchrezhdenij).
Vprochem, ogromnye (do 6 na 4 metra) parnye portrety El'cina i
Luzhkova s tekstom "Moskvichi svoj vybor sdelali" tozhe viseli na
svoix mestax. Nado skazat', chto na vsex predyduschix vyborax
vlasti dovol'no schepetil'no sobljudali takie - formal'nye -
polozhenija zakona o vyborax. Pochemu eto ne bylo sdelano vchera -
ne znaju. Mozhet byt', eto deklaracija o namerenijax. Po krajnej
mere chastota upotreblenija slova "okonchatel'no" (Chubajs do
vyborov govoril "poslednij gvozd' v grob kommunizma",
Chernomyrdin segodnja - "my okonchatel'no reshili etu problemu")
ne pozvoljaet legko otbrosit' takie podozrenija.
Mezhdu tem v stane pobeditelej nemedlenno nachalis' "razborki".
Lebed' v krajne rezkoj forme ("politicheskoe predstavitel'stvo
paraziticheskoj gruppy neftegazovogo kapitala") napal na
Chernomyrdina i potreboval vvedenija posta vice-prezidenta.
Vmeste so slovami "ja budu prezidentom esche do 2000 goda" eto
zvuchit dovol'no ugrozhajusche. Delo v tom, chto "v etom Mavzolee
net svobodnyx mest" - xotja posta vice-prezidenta net, no
chelovek takoj est'. Po konstitucii v sluchae uxoda El'cina
(dejstvitel'no dovol'no verojatnogo, sudja po sostojaniju
zdorov'ja, zadolgo do 2000 goda) objazannosti prezidenta budet
ispolnjat' glava pravitel'stva. Chernomyrdin poka otrazhaet eti
ataki, ukazyvaja na ochevidnoe: pod nimi net nikakoj legal'noj
bazy - i, bez novogo putcha, ne mozhet byt'. Vprochem, Lebed'
sovsem nedavno skazal: "Sud'ba strany zavisit ot togo, kuda
oplevannyj vsemi komandir tankovogo polka povernet svoi
125-millimetrovye argumenty".
Ja uzhe pisal kak-to, chto kommunisty-zjuganovcy sami vosprinimajut
neobxodimost' zavoevyvat' nostal'girujuschij po SSSR elektorat
psevdolevymi lozungami kak obuzu. Sovetnik Zjuganova govoril
mne, chto istinnaja baza kommunistov - eto chinovnichij apparat s
ego gosudarstvennicheskimi instinktami, dlja kotorogo vpolne
izlishnja razlagajuschajasja "marksistsko-leninskaja" ritorika. Zato

Hi, I-R-netters!
I am trying to collect some background information about Santa
Clara, CA (Silicon Valley in general) where I am about to move.
I want to ask those folks, who live there, to give me some
input about safe and reasonable areas with good public school
systems (my daughter is in elementary school now). If you have
any info about not-too-expensive private schools, please, let
me know too.
Thanks in advance,

Dear friends,
My name is Nina Vlanin and I emigrated from Leningrad to San Francisco
in 1980. All my life I've been an ardent dog enthusiast and carried my
love for dogs to America. Has any of you kept dogs in Russia?
Participated in a dog show? Trained your dog at a [dressirivochnaia
ploshchadka]? Have you or anyone you know brought a dog with you when
you emigrated? I especially would like to learn your stories...
For those with limited English or recent immigrants, a paragraph in
Russian:
Mne hotelos' by perepisyvat'sia s "zaiadlymi sobachnikami" iz Rossii,
osobenno iz Peterburga i Moskvy. Pisat' mozhno kak po-russki, tak i
po-angliiski. Bol'shoe spasibo.

Dear Friends:
Knowing of your interest in Russian affairs, I wanted
you to be aware of my newly published book Tangled Loyalties, The
Life and Times of Ilya Ehrenburg. It was published by Basic
Books this past April; a British edition is due out later this
month from I.B. Tauris. It is the first comprehensive
examination in the West of Ehrenburg's life and career. I worked
on the book for thirteen years, beginning under Brezhnev and
finishing under Yeltsin.
You can also learn more about the book from a Home Page I have
created. The URL is www.digitalrag.com/tangled.html
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments
that you may have. I can be reached via e-mail at
jrubenst@aiusa.usa.com.
Yours,

Folks,
INFO-RUSS (including myself and "our men" in Moscow)
failed miserably in catching a juiciest bit of that
president-election circus. Here the best kept secret
for the whole world to see now at "Time" magazine:
Although there were many avenues for Yeltsyn to turn
the tables on commies, a crucial one has remained a secret.
For four months a group American political consultants
secretly participated in guiding his campaign.
Their names are Steven Moore, George Gorton, Joe Shumate,
Richard Dresner. As a group, they have strong connections
to both the Democrats (including circles close to Mr. Clinton)
and Republicans. However, a real driving force behind the entire
event was our fellow emigre from ex-USSR (Belarus), Boris Braynin,
48, a former professional hockey and soccer player, who had
immigrated to the USA, San Francisco, in 1979 (a famous year in
the history or recent emigration; 51 thousands left USSR in that
year; me too). Anyway, it is him (according to "Time") who came
up with the idea, all on his own, that a poor Uncle Yeltsyn needs
a little help, and got together that distinguished group of experts.
Simple, ha? Our man in both Moscow and San Francisco... Our
people (or "our" people?) as a go-in-between CIA and KGB,
Yeltsyn and Clinton... (Remember an old joke: "Our air-force
interceptor shot down our airplane over our territory...").
A soccer player with geo-political vision... Hmmm... One
of the major tasks of the team, BTW, was to greatly minimize
the chances of much more real democratic candidate, Yavlinsky,
and bring in a "new democrat", general Lebed. But of course!
We have only one "our man" out there: Yeltsyn! And only one man
to protect democracy: Lebed! Right?
A looting and killing will go on for the next four years, but
hey, they are our people, aren't they?! Looks at least as if our
administration thinks so...

Hello, friends!
I am interested in the very popular in Russia card game "preferance or
pulya " (I am not sure about spelling) remember expression " rospisat
pulyu". Back twenty years ago, my friends, who was involved in computers in
USSR, told that they make program and play "preferance" with computers. Does
anybody know about "preferance" programs for PC, and where to get them?
Please, e-mail me: Evrey@aol.com.
Thanks.

Tbilisi, Georgia in the past three years. Although promises have been made
regarding the investigation, reconstruction and future safeguarding of the
cemeteries, there has been no action by the authorities. Below you will
find a request for action and background information on the incidents.
ACTION REQUESTED
Rabbi Ariel Levine and Igor Klebanski, Assistant Director of the
Caucasus-American Bureau on Human Rights urgently request that letters
asking for a thorough investigation of the incidents as well as the
placement of a guard at the cemeteries be sent to the President of the
Georgian Republic, Edward Shevardnadze. Please also send letters to your
members of Congress encouraging them to write letters of support. In
addition, they urge that copies of letters be sent to the UCSJ to be
forwarded to them in Tbilisi. Without such confirmation, the President
could deny having received any protests. A copy of UCSJ*s letter is
attached as a sample.
Please send letters to: (postage 60 cents)
The Honorable E. Shevardnadze, President of Georgia
7 Ingorokva Street, Tbilisi, Georgia 380007, FAX 99532-989380
Please send a copy to:
Union of Councils, 1819 H St., NW, Suite 230, Washington, DC 20006
(202) 775-9770; (202) 775-9776 fax, email: ucsj@ucsj.com
BACKGROUND
In November 1994, in one of the three Jewish cemeteries in Tbilisi, 30
tombstones were destroyed. These instances of vandalism culminated in 99
acts of cemetery desecration over the period from 1988 to 1994. After
numerous requests for government response, President Shevardnadze published
a response in February 1996. In his reply, the President promised that an
investigation would be conducted, the tombstones would be repositioned and
care for monuments to Jewish culture would be implemented. At this time,
not one point of the decree has been fulfilled and the condition of the
cemetery has not changed.
These incidents occurred in a context of a general criminalized situation in
Georgia including other crimes against the Jewish community such as the 1995
theft of 9 Sefer Torahs in the city of Akhaltsikhe. Local authorities tried
to arrest the criminals, but until now the situation has not been resolved.
Prior to this incident, Sefer Torahs were stolen from synagogues in Gori and
Kutaisi.

Folks, it is time for you poor back-and-forth fellow-travellers, to
start your own visa-group. The msg below is broadcasted as an exception.
Your sick-and-tired of all these visa cries, INFO-RUSS Coordinator
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends,
there are a lot of you and I hope that somebody has the information I am
seeking. The situation is rather standard. I came to US with a student
visa, got a green card here and now want to go to Russia to see my parents.
Entering Russia is easy, of course. The interesting part is how to leave
it without too much trouble. This has been a hot topic for long time now.
Some time ago a nice summary of options was posted here. In short,
four options were described:
- go to Russia and there apply for a permission to leave for permanent
residence
- get the permission while you are in US (pay $500 to the consulate etc)
- pretend that you are not Russian citizen
- go through the third country on your way back
It seems that a new option has appeared. At least, the russian officials
in Washington and San Francisco consulates claim, that to go to Russia
and back I have to do NOTHING as long as my passport was issued in 1992 or
later. They also say, that getting a green card in US doesn't automatically
mean moving to US for permanent residence and so it is not necessary
to get that famous emmigration stamp in the passport. Having spent the major
part of my life in Russia, I find it difficult to believe.
So here goes the question:
Did you or anybody you know who has a green card but is not registered
with Russian OVIR as moved to the USA for permanent residence managed
to leave Russia directly for USA without any problems?
Please reply directly to me. I'll try to post a summary later.
Yours,
Tatiana Shpeisman

Reuter, Friday July 12 1:53 PM EDT
New Bus Bomb in Moscow; Extra Forces Drafted
MOSCOW (Reuter) - Russian authorities ordered more than 1,000
extra interior ministry troops into Moscow on Friday after a bomb
tore through a trolleybus in the morning rush-hour -- the second
such attack in two days.
The blast, caused by a bomb left under a seat on the bus in the
northeast of the city, injured more than 20 people, some of them
seriously, police and health officials said. Police withdrew an
early report that one person had been killed.
President Boris Yeltsin, re-elected nine days ago to four more
years in office, called immediately for tough action against
terrorism. He said the city of 9 million was ``infested with
terrorists.''
Moscow authorities announced a crackdown on undesirables in the
city, particularly on ethnic groups from the Caucasus region
where the Chechnya conflict is raging.
Interior ministry troops commander Anatoly Shkirko said he was
drafting more than 1,000 extra men into the capital to help city
police ensure public safety.
Mayor Yuri Luzhkov said Friday's blast was caused by a bomb made
of more than half a pound of TNT left under a seat in the center
of a No. 48 bus. ``We are witnessing a system of terrorist acts,''
Luzhkov told a news conference after visiting the scene of the blast
on Prospekt Mira, a thoroughfare in the northeast of the city.
State security officials at the scene said the bomb had been left
in a sports bag similar to that containing a bomb which exploded
on Thursday on another trolleybus closer to the city center. Five
people were injured in that attack.
The single-deck trolleybuses, which draw power from overhead
cables and lumber slowly through the city, are a popular and easy
mode of hop-on, hop-off transport for thousands of Muscovites.
Luzhkov said there could be two explanations for the bombings.
One was that the attacks were linked to threats by Chechen
independence fighters to bring their struggle to the capital. The
other was that the criminal world was responding to latest
measures by Yeltsin and his security supremo, Gen. Alexander
Lebed, to step up the fight against crime in Moscow.
``With a certain degree of certainty we can see a possible
Chechen line and it is not an idle thought,'' Luzhkov said.
In comments that boded ill for ethnic Caucasians in Moscow, as
well as the capital's criminals, Luzhkov said: ``We intend to
cleanse Moscow not only of homeless down-and-outs but also those
elements that we consider dangerous.''
Itar-Tass news agency said it was clear from Luzhkov's comments
that measures would be taken against ``visitors from the south''
-- a euphemism meaning people from the North Caucasus region as
well as from the independent Transcaucasian states.
Officials stressed on Friday that there was no hard evidence to
tie the blasts to Chechen rebels. Kremlin troops have been bogged
down in bitter fighting in Chechnya against separatists since
December 1994.
Asked if there could be a link to the Chechnya conflict, a state
security spokesman said on Friday: ``I would not hurry to this
conclusion. Possibly it was linked to the one yesterday.''
Yeltsin made his remarks to top state security officials as he
presented Nikolai Kovalyov as the new director of the Federal
Security Service (FSB), successor to the KGB police.
The carbon-copy bombing on Friday appeared to lay down a
particular challenge to Lebed, who on Wednesday was given the
task of fighting crime in the capital by Yeltsin.
Bombers also struck on Moscow's underground railway on June 11 in
an attack in which four people were killed and many injured.
The latest bomb was sure to heighten tension in the capital, which
is recovering from a bruising presidential election campaign in
which law-and-order and the growing crime wave was a top issue.
Tempers of people are also frayed by a heat wave which has driven
temperatures up to 95 F.
Trolleybus No 48 was turned into a scorched hulk of twisted metal
by the blast. Blood splattered the pavement. Shards of glass
littered a wide area.
A witness said passengers scrambled to get out through the
windows after the blast.
``I woke up when I heard the bang and saw the trolleybus standing
there. People were trying to get out of the window, to get out
however they could. It was terrible, painful,'' said Viktor Shlyakhtin.

Folks, the news below are from The Monitor
which is a publication of the Jamestown Foundation
Thu, 18 Jul
* NATO enlargement would have dire consequences, a senior Russian officer warns
* Chechnya commission in the Kremlin resolves to continue the war, possibly
through autumn
* Russian military atrocities infuriate even collaborationists in Grozny
* Democrats in Moscow, politically isolated, protest in vain
Russian president Boris Yeltsin ended a
month of Kremlin intrigue yesterday by appointing an ally of Security
Council secretary Aleksandr Lebed to the post of defense minister. (Russian
and Western agencies, July 17) Col. General Igor Rodionov, best known in the
West for his role in the bloody suppression of civilians in Tbilisi, Georgia
in April of 1989, had served as chief of Russia's influential General Staff
Academy since that time.
MOSCOW SLAMS HAGUE TRIBUNAL. Russian foreign minister Yevgeny Primakov
charged in Moscow yesterday that the deliberations of the international
tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague are "overly politicized and
unbalanced."
MILITARY ATROCITIES PROLIFERATE. Russian soldiers aboard an APC shot and
mutilated the bodies of three Chechen civilians in Katyr Yurt village
(western Chechnya), bringing to 17 the number of civilians found to have
been killed in this fashion in the last three days. In Grozny, Russian
soldiers yesterday were officially reported as killing a father of five
while robbing his apartment. In Makhkety village, ravaged last week for
presumably harboring Zelimkhan Yandarbiev's headquarters, the Grozny
authorities reported having found yesterday the bodies of 25 residents,
"mostly girls and women from 3 to 90 years of age," killed in the shelling,
the authorities announced. "Chechnya head" Doku Zavgaev and other
collaborationist officials yesterday redoubled calls for prosecution of
Russian soldiers who commit crimes against civilians. Grozny "deputy prime
minister" Vakha Sagaev complained to the press about "numerous known cases
of Russian soldiers beating and kidnapping peaceful local residents and
holding them for ransom." The Grozny officials complained, as usual in such
circumstances, that military atrocities sap their own position and
strengthen that of the opposition. In Vladikavkaz, a Russian military court
gave a two-year suspended sentence and immediately released a soldier found
guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the killing of war correspondent
Natalya Alyakina in Chechnya. The killing had been widely seen as military
intimidation of the press. The court action indicated that the Russian
authorities are not about to restrain their troops. (Russian and Western
agencies, July 17)
MOSCOW DEMOCRATS PROTEST YELTSIN'S CHECHNYA "DECEPTION." Human rights
campaigner and former Yeltsin ally Sergei Kovalev yesterday issued an open
letter accusing Yeltsin of having secured his reelection by "grossly
deceiving" the people of Russia in promising to end the war, only to
"restart the savage war the day after the election result was officially
announced... I personally knew from the beginning that your promises were
lies," Kovalev wrote, warning the president that the presidential deception
was discrediting Russia's fragile democratic processes. The pro-democracy
daily Izvestiya, recently back in the Kremlin's camp, refused to print
Kovalev's letter.
At a joint news conference yesterday, leaders of the Moscow Helsinki Group,
the Glasnost Foundation, and the Memorial Center made public a petition to
Prosecutor General Yuri Skuratov to initiate proceedings against Internal
Affairs Minister Anatoly Kulikov and Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov for
unsubstantiated and inflammatory statements blaming Chechens as a people for
recent bomb explosions on two Moscow buses and urging expulsion members of
undesirable ethnic minorities from Moscow. The statements incited ethnic
strife and violated the constitution, the human rights groups charged.
Kulikov additionally had suggested in a media interview that families of
suspected Chechen or other "terrorists" should be punished along with the
perpetrators as a deterrent. Kulikov claimed that "some Western countries"
use this method -- in fact a practice used against "enemies of the people"
during Stalin's rule. (Western agencies, Interfax, NTV, Moskovsky
Komsomolets, July 17)

WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Determining if a criminal act or an accident
caused the TWA crash will take a massive, painstaking effort of
examining wreckage, interviewing and quizzing intelligence sources,
FBI officials said Friday.
Although some FBI sources privately said they were leaning toward
sabotage as the cause of the crash, the officials publicly insisted
all possible causes were being explored and no decision had been
made for the FBI to take over the probe.
``We are not here to take over the investigation yet and we are not
here to declare this is a terrorist event,'' Jim Kallstrom, head of
the FBI's New York office, told a news conference.
``We have a lot of things that look like accident. We have a lot of
things that look like terrorism ... At some point in time we are
going to reach critical mass in one of those areas and then we are
going to be prepared to say exactly what we think it is,'' he said.
Kallstrom later added, ``I think we will know in a reasonable amount
of time. Whether that is another two days or four days or a week or
two weeks, I don't know.'' In response to a question, he said:
``We're looking at this as a criminal investigation.''
A Senate source confirmed that FBI Director Louis Freeh and National
Transportation Safety Board chief James Hall briefed senators
privately Friday on TWA Flight 800. The source said the
transportation agency still was in charge of the investigation.
Debris from the Boeing 747 must be recovered over a wide area of the
sea -- an effort hampered by bad weather Friday -- and then put back
together. ``It is the biggest jigsaw puzzle you can imagine,'' one
FBI official said.
Investigators did the same thing after the crash of Pan Am Flight
103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, a task made easier because the
wreckage scattered over the ground, not the sea.
JERUSALEM (Reuter) - Israeli anti-terrorism experts are looking for
possible links between Muslim militants and the explosion of TWA
flight 800, the newspaper Haaretz said Friday.
In its top story the newspaper quoted an unidentified senior
security source as saying Israel was helping U.S. intelligence
agencies and the FBI in every way it could in their investigation of
Wednesday's crash.
The source said sabotage could only be ascertained once all the
debris was collected, but he cited unspecified recent warnings of a
possible attack on a plane, adding: ``All the signs point to a bomb
having been planted on the plane.''
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office declined comment on the
report. But Israeli security sources told Reuters Israel routinely
cooperates on such matters with the United States, its closest ally.
U.S. media have speculated that sabotage caused the Boeing 747 to
burst into a ball of fire and crash with 230 passengers into the
Atlantic Ocean shortly after it took off from New York for Paris.
TWA said Flight 800 used to go on from Paris to Tel Aviv, but the
Israel leg was discontinued in January. Israel Radio said two
Israelis were among the passengers killed. A breakdown of the
passengers' nationalities released by TWA contained no Israelis.
In Paris, TWA spokesman Gilbert Dennemont told reporters TWA's
security was initially handled by an Israeli firm. It was now in the
hands of an American company specially set up for the purpose and
trained by Israelis who had a long record of tight airline security
measures.
Dennemont described as ``pure speculation'' French media reports
which said investigators were increasingly convinced the plane was
the target of an attack, possibly downed by a surface-to-air missile
fired from the American coast or from a ship at sea.

Hi, folks,
I am about to move to NewYork, where I got a position at Mount
Sinai School of Medicine. It is located somewhere in Manhatten, close to
70th St. I have never been to NewYork before. Now I am looking for a
place to live - reasonably affordable, safe (I have 3 kids) and with
reasonably good schools for my children (both elementary and middle). A
friend of mine, also a Russian guy has a son going to high school, so
that infos about high school are also welcome. I was told that the area
of chois is Queens, but this is not specific enough, and, may be you
have better suggestions? I would appreciate your responce. Thanks in
advance.
Valeri Krougliak.

Dear folks,
My mother called me yesterday, she is very concerned with
a new law which is now passing the Congress about cutting / limiting
benefits. I do know that the proposal includes limiting wellfare to 5
year lifetime limit, and no more than 2 years at a time,
but to what extent it is applicable to someone older than 65?
How this law is related to subsistance for older people
(e. g. under so called "8-th program")?
Does any of you, Info-Russ subscribers, know what does it
mean specifically to elderly immigrants/refugees from Russia?
And if it does, is there anything we can do about it,
like organize a petition to someone?
Please reply directly to me; if I collect any substantitive
information, I will post it here, on INFO-RUSS
(our Coordinator actually encouraged me to do so).
Sincerely, Volodja.

Dear Info-Russ netters,
I am moving to Albany area (town of Guilderland) at the end
of the summer. I would appreciate if someone could give me
information about the area. I have a son of 16, so the most
important for me would be information about high schools,
both public and private.
Thank you in advance,
Elena Gonikberg

Dear IR subscribers (especially London residents) !
My wife and I are planning our tour in London in September
and we are looking for reasonable accommodation.
It will be our first time in London.
We would prefer to stay in center (1-2 zone of underground).
Can you point to any good but still not
expensive hotel (modest or youth/student one)
which can be used for this purpose ? I tried to
figure out the situation by myself and it's seems to me that
I cannot find something suitable for less than 55-60 pounds
per night. Is that so ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance,
Maxim.

Dear netters -
I have a friend who was attending St. Petersburg University two years ago
who is originally from Estonia. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to
find out if she is still attending St. Petersburg University and if so,
how I can get her current address? If not, how I can get her address in
Estonia?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Dear folks,
I need to locate my former professor - Michail Bilinkis.
I've heard he was still at the University of St-Petersburg,
Filologicheskij Fakultet, Dpt of Russian Literature.
I have absolutely no contact with Russia and even the
posting address of his working place could help.
So even if you've never heard of him personally, but can tell me the
name of the street and a zip code of Filfak of St-Petersburg's
University you can be of major help to me.
Thanks a lot.

Excerpts from New York Times, July 31, 1996
Highlights: Changes in Welfare
Following are the major provisions of the welfare
bill approved Tuesday by House and Senate negotiators:
-- The federal guarantee of cash assistance for poor
children would end. Each state would receive a lump sum
of federal money to run its own welfare and work programs.
-- The head of every family on welfare must work within
two years, or the family would lose benefits. After
receiving welfare for two months, adults must perform
community service unless they have found regular jobs.
States may choose not to have a community-service requirement.
-- Lifetime welfare benefits are limited to five years.
(States may set stricter limits.) Twenty percent of
families may be exempted because of hardship.
-- States may shift 30 percent of money in welfare block
grant to programs for child care, social services and
child protection (with a maximum of 10 percent going to
social services).
-- Social services block grant is reduced 15 percent
from the current level. But social services money can be
used for vouchers to buy goods and services for children
in families cut off cash welfare.
-- States must maintain their own spending on welfare at
75 percent of the 1994 level -- or 80 percent if they
fail to put sufficient numbers of welfare recipients to work.
-- States may pay additional benefits to cover children
born to women already on welfare, as many states now do.
-- States that do not meet goals for employment of
welfare recipients lose part of their welfare block
grants. Penalty rises from 5 percent in the first year
to 21 percent in ninth year.
-- States must provide Medicaid for anyone who would
qualify for welfare under current law. Alternatively,
states may establish uniform standards of eligibility
for Medicaid and welfare, but Medicaid standards may not
be more restrictive than those in effect on July 1, 1996.
-- States must provide Medicaid coverage for one year
for families that lose eligibility for cash welfare
because of increased earnings.
-- Future legal immigrants who have not become citizens
would be ineligible for most federal welfare benefits
and social services during their first five years in the
United States. (After that, they generally become
eligible for citizenship.) Supplemental Security Income
and food stamps would end for noncitizens now receiving
benefits. States have option whether to provide or deny
Medicaid for noncitizens already in this country.
-- Stricter eligibility standards would exclude many
disabled children in low-income families seeking
Supplemental Security Income.
-- States generally must deny cash assistance and food
stamps to people convicted of drug felonies, unless they
explicitly adopt different policies. In any event,
pregnant women and adults in drug treatment are not
denied assistance.
-- States may not penalize a woman on welfare who does
not work because she cannot find day care for a child
under 6 years old. (House and Senate had both protected
women with children under 11.)
-- A woman on welfare who refuses to cooperate in
identifying the father of her child will lose at least
25 percent of her benefits.
-- Innovative state welfare programs may continue under
federal waivers granted before Oct. 1, 1996, even if
they do not comply with all terms of the new welfare bill.
-- Sources: House Ways and Means Committee, Senate Finance Committee.

Dear Netters!
I am looing for any hints and leads which can result in
obtaining financial aid for my sisters. They live in a
Jewish settlement near Hebron and all three (aged 21 and 23)
are studying in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. They
have finished successfully their 2nd year and will
become ineligible for further government blanket subsidies.
Their own work and their family's income definitely won't
be sufficient to support their studies.
People told me about some organizations in the US
that may support them at least partually in their studies.
Any suggestions and personal experience will be
greatly appreciated.
Please reply to: misha@egh.com
Thanks in advance.

Hello, everyone!
Does anyone know if the changes proposed
in new welfare law apply to the "refugees"
from Russia ? They are legal immigrants, but kind of
special type. They don't have to have an offer of
employment or bank account or a job to get a permanent
resident status, they usually are invited to the States
to have some assistance ...
What about them ? We all heard about other legal immigrants
now ( from Bolivia and Puerto Rico ), but
not much about refugees from ex-USSR...

Does anybody know how to get a hold of some demographical research concerning
settlement of Russian (or rather former Soviet) immigrants in the US and
Canada? I specifically need to know numbers of immigrants from various cities
of origin and where they predominantly had settled in North America.
I'd appreciate any assistance.
Natasha.

Hello, everyone!
Does anyone know which vaccinations and at what age a baby has to /(can)
have in the States and before coming there. I have daughter who will be
about 2 - 3 months old when she comes to the States. Shall we have some
immunisation done before she goes which is not standard in Russia. I
suppose there could be difference in the requirements and timing in these
two countries.
Thank you in advance.

Pervoe rasporjazhenie prezidenta
09/08/1996
Segodnja, srazu posle torzhestvennoj ceremonii vstuplenija v
dolzhnost' i pered tem kak ujti v "ocherednoj" otpusk na dva
mesjaca, El'cin rasporjadilsja schitat' zavtrashnij den' dnem
traura "v svjazi s sobytijami v Groznom". V obraschenii
otmechaetsja, chto dejstvija "terroristov" "brosajut prjamoj vyzov
mirovomu soobschestvu".
Zdanie Soveta Ministrov Chechni pylaet, chechency vskryvajut
podval'nye bunkera, povtorjaja v obratnom porjadke boi zimy
94/95 godov. Kontaktnyj boj idet za zdanija FSB i MVD. Segodnja
neodnokratno soobschalos' o proryve v centr goroda podderzhannyx
tankami chastej specnaza VDV i razblokirovanii
pravitel'stvennyx zdanij, a takzhe gostinicy Sovmina, v
kotoroj bez vody i edy naxodjatsja neskol'ko desjatkov rossijan -
zhurnalisty, stroiteli, neskol'ko zhenschin i rebenok. Posle
ocherednogo soobschenija o "spasenii blokirovannyx v zdanii
gostinicy" chechenskij ministr informacii M.Udugov pozhuril
federalov: "Nashi rebjata mogli by poverit' i nachat' ogon' po
jakoby pustomu zdaniju gostinicy". Segodnja Udugovu udalos'
svjazat'sja s sekretarem rossijskoj komissii po uregulirovaniju
i predlozhit' emu ob'javit' kratkovremennoe peremirie dlja
vyxoda etix ljudej i drugix mirnyx zhitelej iz zony boev.
Rossijskij chinovnik s xarakternoj bespomoschnost'ju posovetoval
"dobivat'sja lokal'nyx soglashenij mezhdu komandirami na pole
boja". Nachal'stvo, sidjaschee na voennoj baze v Xankale, odnako,
zajavilo, chto "nuzhny garantii, chto boeviki ne ispol'zujut
peremirie dlja peregruppirovki".
Sil'nye boi idut v gorodskix predmest'jax Chernorech'e i
Michurinsk. Na doroge iz Xankaly v Michurinsk razvernulos'
samoe zhestokoe srazhenie mezhdu chechencami i usilennoj tankami
gruppoj specnaza. Federaly s ogromnymi poterjami ves' den'
medlenno prodvigalis', no, vozmozhno, dorogo oplachennyj uspex
za noch' budet poterjan, kak uzhe sluchilos' vchera. Vprochem,
podobno tomu, kak ves' Groznyj znal (naprimer, iz raskleennyx
listovok) o dne i chase shturma, vse govorjat, chto
zavtra-poslezavtra boi prekratjatsja. Glavnogo chechency dobilis'
- segodnja v Moskve saljut davali i ceremonial'nyj marsh igrali
v ix chest'. Oni prevratili el'cinskoe torzhestvo v fars.

Batal'ony prosjat poschady
08/08/1996
Rannim utrom 6 avgusta chechenskie otrjady pronikli v Groznyj i
nanesli seriju udarov v napravlenii centra goroda. Oni
atakovali rossijskie blokposty i rajotdely MVD. Uzhe k 10
chasam oni zanjali kak minimum 2 RUVD i prakticheski ne
vstrechali soprotivlenija na zemle. Posle togo, kak v utrennix
bojax federal'nye sily poterjali 5 vertoletov, aviacija pereshla
k naneseniju udarov po (predpolagaemym) skoplenijam boevikov s
bol'shoj vysoty, chto v uslovijax goroda iskljuchaet ix
effektivnost'. K poludnju chechency zanjali zheleznodorozhnyj
vokzal i tovarnye sklady i vyshli so vsex napravlenij na
500-800 metrov ot kompleksa pravitel'stvennyx zdanij v centre
goroda. Tol'ko teper' oxrana Doma Pravitel'stva nachala
okazyvat' ozhestochennoe soprotivlenie.
Odnovremenno chechenskimi otrjadami byli zanjaty goroda Gudermes
i Argun (prakticheski bez boja). V Groznyj nachalas' perebroska
vojsk iz Rossii, v tom chisle iz Balashixi (mesto dislokacii
divizii Dzerzhinskogo).
K vecheru 6-go i v techenii 7-go prodolzhalas' osada
pravitel'stvennyx zdanij. Segodnja vecherom chechency utverzhdali,
chto idet uzhe boj na etazhax Doma Pravitel'stva i chto sbit esche
odin rossijskij bombardirovschik, a takzhe chto v bojax
ispol'zujutsja tank i 2 BTR, zaxvachennyx 6-go. O bronekolonne
federalov, jakoby prorvavshejsja vchera v centr goroda i
razblokirovavshej ego, v Groznom nichego ne znajut.
Eto - kartina sobytij, narisovannaja po chechenskim soobschenijam i
nezavisimym istochnikam, kak obychno, dovol'no xorosho
soglasujuschimsja. Rossijskaja versija sostoit v tom, chto v Chechne,
s odnoj storony, nichego ne proisxodit ("uspeshno otbivajutsja
ataki bandformirovanij v Groznom, v Gudermese i Argune u nas
nikakix problem"), a s drugoj - chto "etim poslednim
prestupleniem Masxadov i Jandarbiev postavili sebja vne
peregovornogo processa".
Aslan Masxadov s neskol'ko tjazhelovesnoj ironiej sravnil ataku
vverennyx emu sil na tri glavnyx goroda respubliki s
operacijami rossijskix vojsk protiv juzhnyx rajonov Chechni: "Eto
takaja zhe lokal'naja specoperacija, podobnaja tem, kotorye, kak
nas uverjajut, ne narushajut Nazranovskix i Kremlevskix
soglashenij - i my ix tozhe ne narushaem". Nazval on i v
neskol'ko zavualirovannom vide istinnuju prichinu etoj ataki -
oprovergnut' tezis, na kotorom stroitsja s momenta el'cinskoj
pobedy na vyborax chechenskaja politika Kremlja. On sostoit v
tom, chto nikakoj protivopolozhnoj storony v Chechne, sobstvenno,
net, net nikakogo "pravitel'stva Chechni-Ichkerii", a est'
neskol'ko avtonomnyx band chislennost'ju v neskol'ko desjatkov
chelovek, kotoryx mozhno i nuzhno dobit'. Imenno tak byl
obosnovan okonchatel'nyj otkaz Rossii ot
Kremlevsko-Nazranovskogo peremirija i nachalo nastuplenija 7-10
ijulja. Pravda, iz etogo sleduet, chto Prezident i Prem'er
Rossii prinimali v Kremle "glavarej razroznennyx band", no
eto melkaja neuvjazochka.
Krupnaja neuvjazka nachinaetsja togda, kogda batal'ony i
eskadril'i, prizvannye zapolnit' bresh' mezhdu fantazijami
"kremlevskix mechtatelej" i zhizn'ju putem "dobivanija band",
zaxlebyvajutsja sobstvennoj krov'ju.
Pomimo utverzhdenija sebja v kachestve effektivnoj sily,
kontrolirujuschej territoriju i naselenie, chechenskie lidery
pytajutsja postavit' novichkov v chechenskoj probleme - Lebedja i
Rodionova - pered vyborom. V ramkax koncepcii "dobivanija" im
bylo estestvenno prodolzhat' nachatoe, tol'ko esche userdnee.
Mozhet byt', uvidev besperspektivnost' etogo puti, oni
popytajutsja proslavit'sja nestandartnym resheniem?
Po krajnej mere v otnoshenii Lebedja eto ne kazhetsja verojatnym.
Nedavno general oficial'no otkazalsja ot, kazhetsja, poslednego
(i odnogo iz samyx vyigryshnyx) predvybornogo obeschanija -
poexat' v Chechnju i "lichno razobrat'sja". A na poslednie boi
otreagiroval soobscheniem, chto u armii est' i nesravnenno bolee
moschnye sredstva unichtozhenija, chem primenjavshiesja do six por.

Attention all users:
A very poor family in Russia (Chelyabinsk) needs help to treat t
heir 14 year old daughter from kidney disease. Both of the parents
were laid off from their jobs so they can't afford any treatment
in Mosow, or St. Petersburg. As their friend, I'm looking for
sponsors who will help to bring the girl and her mother to the
U.S. for good medical treatment. Unfortunately we are not
reach too. Our family of four barely makes enough money to
pay for rent.
If you have any suggestions or coud share the similar experience,
I would greatly appreciate your response. Thank you all.

Hi, everyone.
A friend of mine is asking me to transmit the following question:
==================================================
I know a very bright 17 y.o. girl, 5 yrs in the US, looking for a good
college.
Her parents used to be refugees (6 yrs ago), but now are o.k., making
around 65K a year.
Sounds great, but they still don't have enough, especially since they
are 45/42, and have another bright girl (13 now) to follow...
Question:
Anybody aware of any merit scholarships for bright Jewish, former SU (6
yrs or less) girls with interests in science, psychology, medicine,
psychiatry and talents in arts (painting).
(Looking for "no-need" scholarships in New England.)
==================================================
Please answer directly to him, at jsternberg@MEM.po.com .
Thanks
Boris Velikson

Lebed' ugrozhaet genocidom, vojska zaxvatyvajut bol'nicu
10/08/1996
"Na groznenskom fronte bez peremen". S utra subboty desjatki
rossijskix tankov pri energichnoj aviacionnoj podderzhke prokladyvali
otrjadam specnaza dorogu k centru goroda. Po krajnej mere s odnogo iz
napravlenij oni prodvinulis' do granic pravitel'stvennogo kvartala,
zaplativ za eto tremja vertoletami i desjatkom edinic bronetexniki.
Okolo chasu dnja poshel dozhd', aviacija prekratila rabotu, i prodvizhenie
armii prekratilos'. Sergej Stepashin zajavil v Xankale, chto specnazom
osvobozhdeny blokirovannye v pravitel'stvennoj gostinice zhurnalisty.
Cherez polchasa zhurnalist agentstva "Novosti" pozvonil iz gostinicy po
satellitniku i oproverg eto soobschenie.
Tragicheskie sobytija proisxodjat v 9 Gorbol'nice. Tuda dostavleno
bolee 200 ranenyx mirnyx zhitelej (preimuschestvenno postradavshix ot
artobstrelov i naletov aviacii). Ischerpany zapasy medikamentov, net
vody i produktov. Popytka vyvezti bol'nyx i personal na sanitarnyx
avtobusax sorvana: rossijskaja aviacija i artillerija obstrelivaet
sanitarnye mashiny, a takzhe peshie gruppy s belym flagom i krasnym
krestom. Lish' nebol'shoj gruppe vrachej udalos' prorvat'sja v bol'nicu
sela Staraja Sunzha, troe iz nix byli pri etom raneny s vertoleta.
Situacija rezko usugubilas', kogda segodnja, okolo 16 chasov, v
bol'nicu vorvalsja federal'nyj otrjad i zanjal krugovuju oboronu. Ego
komandir vstupil s chechencami v peregovory i potreboval koridora dlja
otxoda, v protivnom sluchae ugrozhaja rasstreljat' naxodjaschixsja v zdanii,
kotoryx ob'javil zalozhnikami (chast' soobschenija ot slov "v protivnom
sluchae" ne imeet nezavisimogo podtverzhdenija, eto soobschenie komandira
chechenskogo otrjada). Koridor byl predostavlen, odnako komandovanie po
radio zapretilo otrjadu otxod, prikazav "oboronjat'sja do podxoda
podkreplenij".
Segodnja El'cin naznachil Lebedja (vmesto Lobova) prezidentskim
upolnomochennym v Chechenskoj respublike. General uzhe projavil sebja v
etoj roli: v besede s predstavitelem missii OBSE v Chechne on skazal,
chto dob'etsja udalenija etoj meshajuschej emu organizacii, a dlja
preodolenija soprotivlenija chechencev "vvedet v respubliku 7 kazach'ix
polkov i vyrezhet soprotivljajuschixsja do sed'mogo kolena".
Ostaetsja konstatirovat', chto rossijskij politicheskij Olimp
obnovljaetsja: na mesto cinikov prixodjat paranoiki.

Dear netters. Several weeks ago I posted a message asking questions on
travel to Russia. I got more than 70 (!) replies. People gave me advises,
asked my advises, and asked me to share the knowledge and experience. I
thank all my correspondents for the help and interest to the problem. Since
the topic seems to be very hot, I asked the coordinator's permission
to post the info I collected to info-russ; here you are:
1. Money.
Am Ex travelers checks and major credit cards are widely accepted in many
banks in Moscow. Surprisingly, these cards and checks are accepted also by
GOSSBERBANK (Yes! old days SBERKASSA), and the GOSSBERBANK has the largest
number of offices in Moscow.
2. Souvenirs.
Most of my Russian correspondents did not recommend me to bring any alcohol
to Moscow and only one (American) did recommend. And he was right.
Moscow now looks like a pond (lake, see, ocean) of vodka. It is very cheap
(from $1 per bottle) and is sold everywhere. I was shocked when I saw
50-100 gram drinks of vodka bottled in small foil-sealed plastic glasses
(exactly like yogurts or swiss-miss puddings). You pay approximately a
dime, drink, and walk to a next kiosk ten feet aside for the next portion
of vodka. However, most of the sold strong drinks are pirated and of bad
quality. So, good whiskey, Irish cream liqueur, etc. are very much
appreciated by those who cares.
3. THE HOTTEST TOPIC:
How to leave Russia having a green card and without having arranged
emigration from Russia (they call it PE-EM-ZHE abroad).
The complete true information is difficult to get. It seems, in many cases
it is intentionally hidden. Here is my current vision of the problem. The
sources of partial information are the Consulate in Washington,
Administration of UVD in Moscow, the boarder guards (POGRANZASTAVA) in
Sheremet'evo, and one Central OVIR in Moscow (the second Central OVIR gives
the inconsistent or even contradicting information). Please correct me if
I am wrong.
- Arranging of emigration from Russia (PE-EM-ZHE) is the right of the
Russian citizen but not the obligation. The presence of the green card is
irrelevant.
- Valid Russian passport and green card are enough to leave Russia. No any
stamp or seal of emigration (PE-EM-ZHE) in the passport is not needed.
(This was my case a week ago).
- The answer like "Yes, I have a green card, currently I work in US, but I
do not arrange an emigration because I do not want it" is legal.
- The above means that trips through third countries are not needed.
Comments:
1. The information above is inconsistent with common believe.
2. I have heard of many people who had problems in Sheremet'evo.
3. I have experienced that board guards like to ask some questions, in fact
irrelevant, but after those questions you start feel yourself guilty ,
nobody knows in what.
4. The information above is effective of Jul. 28.
5. I am pot responsible for any problems people may have following my
vision of the problem.

Styd ili dym?
11/08/1996
Segodnja federal'nyj otrjad, zaxvativshij v subbotu 9 Gorbol'nicu
Groznogo i blokirovannyj v nej, pokinul zdanie bol'nicy i pod
prikrytiem primerno 100 zalozhnikov (iz personala bol'nicy i
zhitelej sosednego doma) otstupil. Federaly zaverili chechencev,
chto osvobodjat vsex zalozhnikov, kak tol'ko dojdut do svoix.
Tol'ko chto, posle nastuplenija temnoty, udalos' vyvezti iz
pravitel'stvennoj gostinicy zhurnalistov i zhenschin. Situacija v
celom malo izmenilas': tankovye kolonny, na etot raz
predvarjaemye specnazovcami, neskol'ko prodvinulis' v centr
goroda, a v to zhe vremja sami bazy rossijskix vojsk - severnyj
aerodrom i Xankala - podvergajutsja atakam chechencev. Glavnyj
rossijskij forpost v Xankale provel noch' na voskresen'e v
ozhidanii artobstrela iz trofejnoj artillerii, odnako delo poka
ogranichilos' odnim minometnym vystrelom.
Poluchili podtverzhdenija iz rossijskix istochnikov svedenija, chto
federaly atakujut bezhencev s vertoletov, a blokposty ne
propuskajut avtotransport, v tom chisle sanitarnyj - s ranenymi.
Iz-za etogo dazhe voennym medikam ne udaetsja dostavit' v Xankalu
200 rossijskix soldat iz vremennogo gospitalja.
Tem vremenem, vpervye s nachala vojny, vlasti zagovorili o
vvedenii chrezvychajnogo polozhenija. Chernomyrdin zajavil, chto
ministr justicii gotovit proekt ukaza o vvedenii ChP - poka chto
tol'ko v Groznom. ChP - eto palka o dvux koncax. S odnoj
storony, eto pozvolit uzakonit' maluju chast' tex bezzakonij,
kotorye tvorjatsja v respublike i dopolnit' odnoj chrezvychajno
prijatnoj detal'ju - cenzuroj pressy (rossijskoj i inostrannoj),
s drugoj - otpadaet ochen' udobnyj povod k dvojnoj igre. Vsja
polnota otvetstvennosti lozhitsja na Kreml', i uzhe nel'zja budet
govorit' "my-to xoteli, da suverennyj prezident Zavgaev nas ne
slushaetsja" (kak bylo s "vyborami" parlamenta Chechni v narushenie
Nazranovskogo soglashenija - vsego cherez 3 dnja posle ego
podpisanija). Zavgaev, estestvenno, protivitsja ChP - on
stanovitsja politicheskim trupom.
Segodnja veduschij kommentator NTV Evgenij Kiselev soobschil, chto v
dekabre 1995 goda ministry vnutrennix del i bezopasnosti
sobrali rukovoditelej gazet i telekompanij i predlozhili im
"radi vysshix interesov gosudarstva ne podvergat' somneniju
zakonnost' i spravedlivost' vyborov glavy Chechenskoj
respubliki". Svobodnye zhurnalisty uchli "vysshie interesy
gosudarstva".
Ochen' pokazatel'no, chto sejchas lidery obschestvennogo mnenija
Rossii ne stesnjajutsja v vyrazhenijax, govorja o "novoj Cusime" (eti
slova Zjuganova podxvatili vse zhurnalisty), "nacional'nom
pozore" i "zhguchem chuvstve styda", oxvativshem ix v eti shest'
dnej. Voobsche govorja, eto vse zhe luchshe, chem lgat' i
izvorachivat'sja, kak Kulikov ili Lebed' - no "masteram slova"
luchshe by ne zabyvat', chto slova imejut i tochnyj smysl. Nam,
okazyvaetsja, ne bylo stydno, kogda aviacija vse leto utjuzhila
gornye sela - eto bylo povodom tol'ko dlja razgovorov, chto
"aktivnost' separatistov javno vydyxaetsja". Styd prosnulsja pri
vide dyma rossijskix tankov. A ja dumaju, chto eto specificheskoe
oschuschenie v glazax - eto dym i est'. Chto zhe delat', esli vernut'
nas k chelovecheskim chuvstvam mozhno tol'ko dymom nashix tankov?
Lebed' nakonec-to sobralsja vybrat'sja iz Moskvy poblizhe k
"teatru" - no i to ne v Chechnju, a v Dagestan. Vprochem, ego
sotrudniki raspuskajut sluxi, chto on mozhet ispol'zovat' etu
poezdku dlja kontaktov s chechenskimi liderami. Kak-to ne veritsja,
posle vsego predyduschego.

Nochnoj polet Lebedja
12/08/1996
Situacija s zaxvatom rossijskimi vojskami zalozhnikov v 9
Groznenskoj Gorbol'nice v subbotu imela segodnja prodolzhenie.
Vo-pervyx, zdanie bol'nicy, iz kotorogo federaly ushli pod
prikrytiem sotni zalozhnikov, stalo podvergat'sja artobstrelu.
Vo-vtoryx, segodnja imeli mesto neskol'ko sluchaev zaxvata
federalami soten mirnyx zhitelej, kotoryx vystavljajut "zhivym schitom"
pered specnazovcami, iduschimi v nastuplenie (ranee vperedi
specnaza shli tanki, no vopijuschaja neeffektivnost' etogo priema v
gorode zastavila ot nego otkazat'sja). V chastnosti, zaxvachen Glava
administracii (promoskovskoj) Itumkalinskogo rajona. Utrom
press-centr Ob'edinennoj Gruppirovki zajavil, chto otdan
kategoricheskij prikaz o neprimenenii v dal'nejshem aviacii.
Odnako, vertolety MVD prodolzhali obstrely, i kogda vo vtoroj
polovine dnja stali pozvoljat' meteouslovija, nachalis' nalety
reaktivnyx samoletov.
Stoit otmetit', chto rossijskie SMI, v celom krajne rezko
kritikujuschie komandovanie za bezdarnost', lozh' i (gorazdo mjagche)
za prenebrezhenie sud'bami mirnyx zhitelej, do six por ne pozvolili
prosochit'sja informacii o taktike zaxvata zalozhnikov.
Tol'ko chto naznachennyj prezidentskim upolnomochennym v Chechne
Lebed' segodnja noch'ju priletel voennym samoletom v Maxachkalu i
posle serii vstrech s mestnymi vlastjami i nacional'no-religioznymi
liderami, poexal v Chechnju. V sele Starye Atagi on vstretilsja s
generalom Masxadovym, ministrom informacii Udugovym i komandirom
Shirvani Basaevym (mladshim bratom Shamilja). Vstrecha prodolzhalas'
dva chasa. Na obratnom puti mashina generala byla obstreljana s
rossijskogo blok-posta. Nikto ne postradal.
Informacija o besede poka nepolnaja (i protivorechivaja, chto chasto
byvaet s Lebedem). Po ocenke Udugova, "eto byli ne peregovory,
nikakix reshenij ne prinjato, eto byla ochen' poleznaja
oznakomitel'naja beseda". Pozicii dvux generalov "sovpali na 95%".
Lebed' zhe zajavil, chto "prinjato reshenie o raz'edinenii vojsk, ono
uzhe vypolnjaetsja, i zavtra process pojdet aktivnee" (kak on idet
segodnja - sm. pervyj abzac). "Masxadov po racii svjazyvaetsja s
Pulikovskim, i oni obsudjat detali zavtrashnego otvoda vojsk storon
na 1 km". Kak mozhno otvesti vojska na 1 km v gorode, gde idut boi
za kazhdyj dom - generalu vidnee, mne ne ponjat'. Vmeste s tem
nekij radiokontakt Masxadova i Pulikovskogo vo vtoroj polovine
dnja byl, no ne otrazilsja na intensivnosti boev. Manera Lebedja
govorit' (xlestakovskaja, po vyrazheniju Ramazana Abdulatipova)
zastavljaet somnevat'sja v ser'eznosti etoj mirnoj popytki - a
zhal', polozhenie v Groznom stanovitsja kriticheskim.
Delo v tom, chto chechency, zanimaja gorod nedelju nazad, javno
rasschityvali na povtorenie martovskogo "nabega", tol'ko v
usilennom masshtabe. Ob etom govorjat i teksty preduprezhdenij
zhiteljam - zapastis' produktami i vodoj na chetyre dnja, i kosvennye
svidetel'stva. Esche "zachistka ot el'cinskix bandformirovanij",
mozhet byt', vxodila v ix plany, no uzh nikak ne "vosstanovlenie
konstitucionnogo porjadka". Gorod pal k ix nogam sovershenno
neozhidanno. Oni poluchili shans organizovat' novuju oboronu Groznogo
v labirintax ulochek i razvalin, kogda svoi i protivnika poteri
obmenivajutsja v otnoshenii 1:20. Zachem zhe uxodit'? No, v otlichie ot
pervoj zimy vojny, net uzhe grazhdanskoj administracii, razrushena
grazhdanskaja infrastruktura - i chechency ne mogut ee vossozdat',
dazhe esli by xoteli. Kto, naprimer, budet oxranjat' porjadok na
ulicax? 2000 opolchencev, zanjatyx kruglosutochnym boem s rossijskoj
gruppirovkoj? 12000 (tak!) zavgaevskix milicionerov? V rezul'tate
- v bol'shej chasti goroda net vody (bombardirovschiki razrushili
Chernorechenskij vodozabor), net produktov i medikamentov. Uzhe ne
tol'ko zhurnalisty, no i obychno lojal'nye predstaviteli Krasnogo
Kresta krikom krichat, chto federaly ne dajut vyjti bezhencam - v tom
chisle streljaja v avtobusy s krasnym krestom. Bol'shinstvo mirnyx
zhitelej v otchajanii. Oni rugajut boevikov, podstavivshix ix, a k
federalam otnosjatsja prjamo s jarost'ju.
Mezhdu prochim, bol'shinstvo bezhencev bezhit ne ot boev (ot obstrelov
mozhno otsidet'sja v podvalax) i ne ot nedostatka vody (poka est'
gaz - a on est' - mozhno kipjatit' ploxuju vodu, kotoraja vse zhe
dostupna - pochti kazhdyj den' idet sil'nyj dozhd'). Ljudi strashatsja
"zachistki", kogda ozverevshaja soldatnja budet grabit', bit' i
nasilovat'. No etot moment poka ne nastupil - i neponjatno, kogda
nastupit, potomu chto rossijskoj armii tak i ne udalos' dobit'sja
pereloma, skoree naoborot - lomajutsja ee chasti, odna za drugoj.
Vnov' pribyvshie elitnye otrjady v pervyj den' esche srazhajutsja, a
potom vpadajut v tu zhe apatiju, v kotoroj naxodjatsja "veterany"
(kotorye ne streljajut v chechenskix bojcov iz svoix ambrazur v
okruzhennyx dotax - esli sidet' tixo, mozhno vyzhit' - chechencev ved'
malo, a okruzhennyx federalov mnogo, vsex ne perestreljaesh'...)
Rossija, konechno, velika (kak skazal Lebed', "vse ravno Chechnju
zadavit"), no i u chechencev tozhe v boj v Groznom poshel daleko ne
poslednij soldat. Vse eti dni prodolzhajutsja boi v Bamute (uzhe
neskol'ko raz perexodivshem iz ruk v ruki), v Kurchaloe (tam
federalami poterjana kolonna iz 15 BMP), v drugix mestax.
Alik
PS Neskol'ko vyskazyvanij Lebedja.
O Zavgaeve: "Javnaja lozh' i manija velichija".
Ob armii: "Nado vyvodit' iz gumannyx soobrazhenij. Oni tam
vypolnjajut rol' mjasa".

To those who receive CBC television broadcasts;
As some of you might know, I recently organized an international letter
of protest to BBC World Report. Attached is a letter along the same
lines, this time tailored for submission to the CBC. Please read it with a
critical eye and let me know about any suggestions or corrections which
you might have. (Unfortunately, I cannot say that I specifically watch
CBC television reports every day.) If you would like to have your name
included at the bottom, please provide me with the following information
before 9:00 am EST: your full name, institutional affiliation (if any),
city, and province. Please mail to: Elizabeth Loukine
.
Thanks;
Elizabeth Loukine
**************************************************************************
To whom it may concern;
We are writing to express our dismay at CBC News Service's television
coverage of the conflict in Chechnya. Although outright lies are never
uttered, a constant absence of important information creates a distorted
representation of reality. On the 10:00 p.m. news of 14 August 1996,
for example, Pulikovsky's statement about the Chechen rebels' breaking of the
cease-fire which had been announced on the previous day on Russian television
was quoted without critical commentary. Pulikovsky, as a result, came across
as an honourable and peace-seeking figure. Not a word was mentioned about
Pulikovsky's declaration from earlier in the day that he had not agreed to any
cease-fire, nor was a word mentioned about the air-strikes which federal
forces made against clearly civilian targets even after the cease-fire was
supposed to come into effect. (The deliberate targeting of civilian
targets has even been by condemned by the pro-Moscow puppet government of
Zavgaev and documented by official Russian news agencies.) In general, the
gross violations of human rights which have been committed by
federal forces against civilians in the Chechen Republic since Yeltsin's
presidential victory, as well as the immense suffering of consripted federal
troops, have been severely under-reported by CBC News Services.
As you know, a minimum of 30 000 people, and quite possibly more
than 100 000 people, have already died as a result of the war in Chechnya.
Atrocities of various kinds are being committed almost daily. Russian
conscripts are in a desperate situation. Racism against Caucasian people is
flourishing in Moscow and other large Russian centres. All
the while, international governments are funding Yeltsin's government
and, presumably, program of war, virtually without criticism. Although we
believe that CBC News Service has been more accountable to its viewers
than some other news broadcasters, we also believe that there is much
room for improvement.
We understand that it might be difficult to retrieve fundamental
information about Chechnya, Chechen history and the sources of the
conflict, as well as a complete description of the ongoing war with all its
aspects. We can recommend the Chechen Homeland website at
. We can also recommend the electronic
mailing list, CHECHNYA, which is gatewayed through .
Better background knowledge could perhaps promote a more balanced coverage.
Please consider the consequences of CBC News Service's broadcasts, and
introduce more substantial and more honourable coverage of the tragedy which
continues to unfold in Chechnya. This would not only provide some
justice to those who are suffering in Chechnya, but it would also be a
service to all Canadians.
Sincerely;
Elizabeth Loukine, Ph.D. cand.

Mira esche net, no uzhe pochti ne streljajut
16/08/1996
Poslednie sobytija takovy: Lebed', vernuvshis' iz molnienosnoj
poezdki v Chechnju, pred'javil narodu na press-konferencii proekt
ukaza, kotorym emu davalis' chrezvychajnye polnomochija dlja
"uskorenija mirnogo processa" v Chechne. Ukaz daleko vyxodit za
predely konstitucii i, chto gorazdo vazhnee, apparatnogo
raspredelenija rolej. Tem ne menee El'cin ego podpisal. Etim
ukazom vse funkcii organov, sozdannyx dlja reshenija konflikta,
peredajutsja Sovetu Bezopasnosti, sami eti organy uprazdnjajutsja, a
reshenija Soveta po voprosam uregulirovanija "imejut objazatel'nyj
xarakter dlja vsex organov upravlenija i uchrezhdenij". General
tolkuet etot ukaz v tom smysle, chto vmesto "Sovet Bezopasnosti"
nado chitat' "Lebed'".
Vchera Lebed' snova posetil Chechnju (a v noch' na segodnja
vstrechalsja s Jandarbievym). Vystupaja pered zhurnalistami, on
poobeschal v 15-00 16-go "sensacionnye razoblachenija v Moskve" i
slovo svoe sderzhal.
Na press-konferencii v Moskve Lebed' v rezkoj forme obvinil v
eskalacii konflikta i sryve mirnyx usilij ministra vnutrennix
del Kulikova. "Otchajannye popytki MVD rasshirit' zonu konflikta,
vtjanut' Ingushetiju i Dagestan, v perspektive razvjazat' vojnu na
vsem Kavkaze", - zvuchit kak citata esli ne iz Movladi Udugova,
to kak iz prezidenta Ingushetii Ruslana Ausheva (s kotorym on
vstrechalsja pered vyletom v Moskvu). Lebed' zajavil, chto poslal
El'cinu pis'mo - "ili Lebed', ili Kulikov".
Parallel'no proisxodjat peregovory starshix komandirov na pole boja
- Masxadova i Pulikovskogo. Oni bylo podpisali soglashenie o
prekraschenii ognja, no zatem Pulikovskij ob'javil, chto nichego ne
podpisyval. Tem ne menee tut zhe rossijskie vlasti prinjalis'
obvinjat' chechencev v narushenii soglashenija (kotoroe federaly "ne
podpisyvali"). Tak dela i idut - soglashenija o peremirii jakoby
net, no rabotaet sovmestnaja komissija po rassledovaniju
narushenij.
V novostjax NTV mozhno videt' uzhe prakticheski mirnyj (i esche bolee
razrushennyj) Groznyj, polnost'ju kontroliruemyj chechencami. V
uslovijax "nepodpisannogo" peremirija rossijskie voennye poluchili
vozmozhnost' peredvigat'sja po gorodu dlja sbora trupov i
evakuacii ranenyx. Nakonec-to otkrylis' dva "gumanitarnyx
koridora" dlja bezhencev - kak raz togda, kogda chast' iz nix
nachinaet vozvraschat'sja. Mezhdu tem promoskovskoe pravitel'stvo
Chechni podtverdilo vcherashnee soobschenie, chto esche pozavchera byl
sluchaj massovogo ubijstva bezhencev federal'noj aviaciej (vozle
sela Alxazurovo), bolee togo, ono podtverdilo, chto suschestvuet
prikaz streljat' po kolonnam bezhencev, a v mestax, kuda vyxodjat
bezhency, arestovyvat' vsex muzhchin starshe 14 let.
Kakuju igru igraet Lebed', esche nedavno grozivshij unichtozhat'
chechencev, nevziraja na prepony ot "mirotvorcev iz OBSE"?
(Kstati, napadki na OBSE v obychnom ura-patrioticheskom duxe byli
i na poslednej press-konferencii generala). Delo v tom, chto
mesjac, provedennyj Lebedem v Kremle, dokazal - ego legko i
elegantno unichtozhajut ljudi, po sravneniju s kotorymi on -
"rjadovoj neobuchennyj" apparatnoj igry. Esche para mesjacev - i emu
"ne grozilo" by ne tol'ko prezidentstvo v 2000 godu, a voobsche
nichego by ne svetilo. Edinstvennyj sposob perelomit' tendenciju
izvesten: nado vyrvat'sja na arenu publichnoj politiki s
neozhidannym resheniem. Pri nyneshnem rasklade eto mozhet byt'
tol'ko "umirotvorenie" Chechni - v tom ili inom smysle etogo
slova. No navesti spokojstvie kladbischa mogut i bez Lebedja i,
chto by on ne govoril, nikakogo recepta pobedy u nego net.
Ostavalos' odno - zakljuchit' mir. A porazitel'naja pobeda
chechencev (vzjatie Groznogo i javnaja nesposobnost' federalov
organizovat' kontrnastuplenie) sdelala etot mir aktual'nym i
dlja Kremlja.
Kstati, o pobede. Ministr vnutrennix del Kulikov skazal, chto
"dvum tysjacham boevikov v Groznom protivostojat, vynosja osnovnuju
tjazhest' boev [eto on ljagaet armejskix] pjat' tysjach
voennosluzhaschix Vnutrennix Vojsk MVD i 2100 bojcov specotrjadov
milicii [OMON i SOBR]". Esli dobavit' sjuda namerenno opuschennyx
Kulikovym armejcev - preimuschestvenno iz divizij VDV, frontovuju
aviaciju, tankistov - poluchim istinnoe sootnoshenie sil. Pri etom
poteri federalov sostavili, naprimer, v aviacii - 3 samoleta i
10 vertoletov. Skol'ko bojcov ubito - uznat' nel'zja. Uzhasno
zvuchaschie cifry, nazyvaemye voennymi (130 ubito, 400 raneno, 80
propalo bez vesti), chto esche uzhasnee - zanizheny, eto ochevidno
xotja by potomu, chto oni ne rosli v tri poslednix dnja samyx
zhestokix boev. Skoree verny chechenskie dannye - 2000 ubityx i
ser'ezno ranenyx.
Po TV mozhno videt' patrulirujuschie Groznyj zaxvachennye i
otremontirovannye chechencami tanki, BMP, BTR i samoxodku. Pervyj
iz trofejnyx tankov nazvan imenem bojca, zaxvativshego ego i na
sledujuschij den' pogibshego v boju - sozdan moschnyj kul't geroja,
vpolne v duxe sovetskoj "agitacii na primere voinov - geroev
Velikoj Otechestvennoj". Interesno, chto vse popytki propagandy v
takom duxe v rossijskoj armii vyzyvajut u "klientov" rvotnuju
reakciju, a u chechencev - rabotajut. Voobsche slozhnoe, dvuplanovoe
otnoshenie chechenskix liderov i propagandistov k sovetskomu
periodu istorii svoego naroda - nesomnenno. Pri tom, chto Stalin
- glavnyj antigeroj, a stalinskij period - temnoe vremja, k
Grazhdanskoj vojne (v kotoroj chechency vystupili na storone
krasnyx) otnoshenie drugoe. Chechenskie lidery chasto vystupajut na
ceremonijax, proxodjaschix u pamjatnika krasnym partizanam (borcam s
Denikinym).
Vsja eta problematika dostojna vnimanija prezhde vsego potomu, chto
nyneshnij, poka esche xrupkij, mir dostignut, konechno, ne bez
uchastija Lebedja s ego vlastnymi ambicijami - no na 90% vse zhe
samimi chechencami - bukval'no ego zavoevavshimi. Uderzhat li?

Reuter, Friday August 16 5:12 PM EDT
Lebed Seeks Ouster of Interior Minister
MOSCOW (Reuter) - Russian security chief Alexander Lebed
stepped up his campaign for power Friday by demanding
the resignation of Interior Minister Anatoly Kulikov,
accusing him of mishandling the war in Chechnya.
The tough-talking Lebed, a former paratroop general
given sweeping authority to settle the 20-month-old
conflict, warned of ``provocations'' being planned to
spread the fighting and to ignite ``a big Caucasian war.''
``You wanted to know one of the war's heroes? Here he is
-- Interior Minister, Army General Anatoly Kulikov,''
Lebed sarcastically told a news conference after
returning from talks with separatist leaders in Chechnya.
Lebed, in an extraordinary public denunciation, said:
``The Minister of Interior of Russia did not fulfill his
duty before Russia. I'm totally sure he cannot remain
minister any longer.
``Now I address Russian President Boris Nikolayevich
Yeltsin: you will have to make a difficult choice. Only
one must stay -- Lebed or Kulikov.''
In a statement issued by the Interior Ministry press
service, Kulikov rejected Lebed's accusations and put
his fate in Yeltsin's hands.
``In connection with the false accusations and insults
made against me by the secretary of the Security
Council, I am sending a report to the president of the
country asking him to resolve the issue of my tenure of
office,'' Kulikov said.
Lebed's demand that Kulikov be fired, and a series of
other tirades against other rivals, provided a glimpse
of political infighting usually hidden behind the
Kremlin's red fortress walls.
Lebed's first target when Yeltsin made him his security
chief June 18 was Gen. Pavel Grachev, who was fired as
defense minister the same day Lebed was appointed.
Tensions between Lebed and Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin soon came out into the open when the former
paratroop commander called for the reintroduction of the
post of vice president and suggested he should fill it.
Chernomyrdin, whose powers would have been threatened by
such a move, hit back by saying the vice presidency
would not be revived and put down Lebed's apparent
efforts to have a say in economic policy.
But Lebed has been emboldened by Yeltsin's decision last
Saturday to make him his envoy to Chechnya and a
presidential decree which gave him wider powers to try
to end the conflict that has claimed 30,000 lives in the
mainly Muslim region.
His powerful new mandate is certain to have upset others
trying to tackle the crisis. These include Chernomyrdin,
the head of a state commission on Chechnya which Lebed
criticized Monday, and generals reluctant to carry out
Lebed's orders.
Hundreds of Russian troops have been killed or wounded
since the separatists launched their offensive on the
Chechen capital of Grozny Aug. 6 and the rebels still
control large areas of the city.
Lebed, who has just returned from talks with rebel
leaders, said he was preparing a plan to end the
conflict and would present it to Yeltsin.
``It will be a very radical plan which many people will
not like, but I will insist on it,'' he told the news
conference, declining to give details.
Lebed and Chechen rebel leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev had
earlier expressed optimism about bringing peace to
Chechnya, although senior commanders on both sides were
more skeptical.
Lebed's peace initiative launched last weekend was given
a cool assessment by the deputy commander of Russian
Interior Ministry troops, Gen. Stanislav Kavun.
``The situation in Grozny is not being defused despite
the assurances of the the warring sides,'' he told a
news conference.
Kavun accused the rebels of violating peace agreements.
``The efforts taken by Interior Ministry troops and
Defense Ministry units to defeat the enemy are now being
nullified,'' he said.
``As a rule, the rebels do not adhere to agreements.
Each day they increase their forces,'' he said, adding
that eight Interior Ministry troops were killed Thursday
night. ``How can you agree anything with these people?''

Pobeda vazhnee mira?
19/08/1996
Posle serii vzaimnyx obvinenij v narushenii soglashenija o
prekraschenii ognja (so storony federalov tem bolee pikantnyx, chto
oni - ustami komandujuschego gruppirovkoj gen. Pulikovskogo -
otricali odnovremenno fakt zakljuchenija takogo soglashenija)
storony, kazalos', priblizilis' k zakrepleniju fakticheskogo (i
nepolnogo) prekraschenija ognja. V subbotu Masxadov peredal
Pulikovskomu kopiju svoego prikaza o prekraschenii ognja, v
voskresen'e analogichnyj prikaz peredal Pulikovskij. V to zhe
vremja imenno v voskresen'e nachalos' rezkoe obostrenie obstanovki
v Groznom.
Razvjazka proizoshla segodnja. Vo-pervyx, El'cin otklonil
ul'timatum Lebedja po povodu Kulikova ("pust' oba rabotajut"), a
vo-vtoryx, rasporjadilsja "prinjat' mery k vosstanovleniju porjadka v
gorode Groznyj, vkljuchaja voennuju oxranu pravitel'stvennyx zdanij,
po polozheniju do 6 avgusta". V perevode s kanceljarskogo eto
oznachaet prikaz na novyj shturm Groznogo. Dlja peredachi prikaza
vniz Verxovnyj Glavnokomandujuschij izbral Lebedja.
Pulikovskij ob'javil po radio, chto shturm budet v chetverg s
massirovannym primeneniem aviacii, i prizval naselenie pokinut'
gorod, v to zhe vremja zajaviv, chto vse puti otxoda, krome Staroj
Sunzhi, zaminirovany. Na samom dele, poxozhe, boj uzhe idet.
Odna iz prichin stol' bystrogo pereloma nastroenij v Kremle -
sama tema peregovorov Masxadova i Jandarbieva s Lebedem i
Pulikovskim: "Razvod vojsk i opredelenie zon otvetstvennosti".
Delo shlo k dogovornoj fiksacii "zon otvetstvennosti" chechencev v
Groznom, to est' oficial'nogo priznanija sdachi goroda. A eto
psixologicheski nevozmozhno dlja voennyx. Oni mysljat v terminax
nachala veka: pobeda - eto vzjatie stolicy, porazhenie - poterja
stolicy. Oni s trudom, no svykajutsja s mysl'ju, chto etot gorod,
vozmozhno, budet otdan v rezul'tate politicheskogo reshenija - no
gotovy lit' krov' radi bessmyslennogo znaka chisto voennoj
pobedy. Zerkal'no poxozhaja istorija sluchilas' vo vremja finskoj
"Zimnej vojny": finny v marte 1940 soglasilis' otdat' Rossii,
narjadu s prochimi territorijami, Vyborg, odnako poluchalos', chto za
vsju vojnu nasha armija "ne oderzhala ni odnoj pobedy" (to est' ne
vzjala shturmom ni odnogo goroda). V rezul'tate v poslednie dni
vojny my shturmovali _uzhe rossijskij_ gorod Vyborg - i vzjali ego.
Tak chto v Rossijskoj armii chtut po krajnej mere nekotorye
tradicii Krasnoj armii...

Sovet Bezopasnosti somnevaetsja v podpisi Prezidenta
20/08/1996
Segodnja proizoshli dva skandala, imejuschie prjamoe otnoshenie i k
Chechenskoj vojne, i k upravleniju nashim gosudarstvom. Pervyj -
soobschenie radio "Exo Moskvy" o tom, chto El'cin ekstrenno
gospitalizirovan v kardiologicheskuju kliniku professora Chazova.
Novyj press-sekretar' prezidenta Jastrzhemskij, ne vstupaja v prjamuju
polemiku s etim soobscheniem, ob'javil, chto El'cin na dva dnja uexal
iz Moskvy na Valdaj s cel'ju izuchenija, stoit li emu provesti tam
otpusk.
Eto ob'jasnenie zvuchit bolee chem stranno: El'cin byval tam sovsem
nedavno, ranee neodnokratno soobschalos', chto on nuzhdaetsja v pokoe
i, xotja prodolzhaet rabotat', no v neposredstvennoj blizosti ot
kvalificirovannoj medicinskoj pomoschi. Krome togo, imenno na eti
dva dnja vypadaet istechenie sroka ul'timatuma, kotoryj, v
sootvetstvii s rasporjazheniem El'cina ("vozvratit' situaciju s
pravoporjadkom v gorode Groznyj k polozheniju do 5 avgusta")
pred'javil general Pulikovskij ("naseleniju predlagaetsja polnost'ju
pokinut' Groznyj v techenie 48 chasov, t.k. po istechenii etogo sroka
budut nachaty intensivnye boevye dejstvija vsemi vidami oruzhija,
vkljuchaja bombardirovochnuju aviaciju, artilleriju i sistemy zalpovogo
ognja"). El'cin, konechno, uzhe otsizhivalsja v bol'nice v moment
nachala vojny, no sejchas est' i drugie nastorazhivajuschie momenty.
Eto - predmet vtorogo skandala. Press-sluzhba Soveta Bezopasnosti
rasprostranila zajavlenie, chto "rasporjazhenie prezidenta
[citirovannoe vyshe], vozmozhno, emu ne prinadlezhit, po krajnej mere
v okonchatel'noj redakcii... prezident ne prinjal lichno sekretarja
Soveta A.Lebedja, rasporjazhenie bylo peredano v pis'mennom vide,
prichem vmesto sobstvennoruchnoj podpisi na nem imelsja lish'
faksimil'nyj ottisk podpisi B.N.El'cina". Lebed' vyletaet v
Groznyj.
V Groznom - panicheskij isxod zhitelej. Ugrozy Pulikovskogo idut
dal'she, chem dazhe real'naja kartina tragedii zimy 94/95 godov, i
vse, kto mozhet peredvigat'sja, ustremilis' proch'. V gorode ostaetsja
150-300 tysjach zhitelej (pervaja cifra prinadlezhit Udugovu, vtoraja -
Zavgaevu).
Masxadov peredal rossijskoj storone tekst prikaza: uchityvaja
ul'timatum Pulikovskogo, prepjatstvovat' peredvizhenijam rossijskix
vojsk, vkljuchaja tylovye podrazdelenija. Odnako "do osobogo
rasporjazhenija" zapreschaetsja perexodit' v kontrataki i veleno
priderzhivat'sja chisto oboronitel'noj taktiki.
Po nepodtverzhdennomu poka (no, uvy, pravdopodobnomu) soobscheniju
chechenskoj storony rossijskie vojska, prepjatstvuja isxodu bezhencev v
nesankcionirovannom napravlenii (vsem sotnjam tysjach veleno
Pulikovskim v 48 chasov vyjti strogo po odnoj doroge), vzorvali
most v poselke Kirova vmeste s naxodivshimisja tam ljud'mi. Pogiblo
bolee 100 chelovek.
Nakanune odnoj iz krupnejshix tragedij v istorii Rossii strana ne
imeet otvetstvennogo i elementarno (medicinski) deesposobnogo
rukovodstva - vot glavnyj itog "triumfa" prezidentskix vyborov.
Segodnja E.G.Bonner skazala, chto otvetstvennost' za sovershajuschijsja i
nadvigajuschijsja genocid v Groznom dolzhny razdelit' s El'cinym te,
kto golosoval za nego. Sudja po boevym svodkam s bol'nichnogo
fronta, vozmozhno, oni ostanutsja prosto edinstvennymi
otvetstvennymi za proisxodjaschee.

Dear IR-folks,
I am a winner of the lottery (1996). Our appointment would be 05 Sept.
1996 at the USA Embassy in TEl-Aviv (I am working now as a visiting
scientist at the Ben-Gurion University in Israel). Can anybody give me any
advice about an evidence of support which I must submit on the date of
appointment. I have no real relatives in the USA. My bank account is not
enough for such an evidence. I am trying to receive from Moscow the proof of
my ownership of property (appartment) with letter showing its present value
but I am not sure in success (in time). The best way is to receive a
notarized offer of employment. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get
such a letter yet. If anybody was in this situation, What kind of this
document did you submit?
I would very appreciate your any advice.
Best wishes. E.Katz

Dear folks,
At last, (most of) you can sigh with relief: for a while your
mailbox will not be clattered with info-noise generated by
INFO-RUSS. As I've mentioned a while ago, I am going to put
INFO-RUSS into a semi-dormant mode for about half-year.
>From this moment on, till the beginning of February'97, most
of the INFO-RUSS activity will be put on hold. During that
period of time, NO subscription or unsubscription requests
will be processed; only VERY FEW postings (mostly of emergency
nature, strictly to my own discretion) if any, will be
broadcasted. I would greatly appreciate it if you REFRAIN
from submitting any regular postings during that period.
INFO-RUSS started almost exactly five years ago, on August 15'91.
Of course, those of you who stayed with it for most of this time,
will understandably take this coming intermission as a great
relief (:-). Yet all of you have always tried hard to make
INFO-RUSS our Internet home; as a result, a worldwide Internet
community of refugees, emigres and other "departees" (:-) from
the ex-USSR came into being. Our "native" subsciribers haven't
been lost or neglected either; I hope they've got whatever is
worth from INFO-RUSS; they greatly contribuited to it too.
INFO-RUSS has always been promoting sort of old-fashioned emigrant
virtues: self-reliance, mutual help, hard work, tough resilience,
high educational, research and technology aspirations, cultural
preservation along with fast learning of the culture of our new
countries (language incliding:-), help to families, help to the
"beginners" and less luckier people in the community, help to those
left behind in the old country, humanitarian help in general... You
may've noticed that the word "help" figured prominently in this
text; but then this is it: INFO-RUSS was and is a lot about help...
Not the least was the perpetual drive of INFO-RUSS against
violations of human rights, in particular against the war by
Russian government in Chechnya, against anti-semitism or any
other "anti" in the ex-USSR (e. g. anti-"kavkasiatism" of
Russian authorities), against any violation of the rights
to emigrate... INFO-RUSS has always been very determined about
supporting the emigration from ex-USSR of those who have no
future in our "dear motherland" with her nice habits of
"Rossiya vekami rydaet
o detyah lubimyh svoih;
ona samyh luchshih s'edaet -
i plachet, pechalyas' o nih..."
And as far as immigration to our new countries, most of you always
knew the simple and straight philosophy of it: Nobody begged you to
come here; it was your own choice. Nobody owes you anything. Be
grateful to your new country for letting you in. Be grateful for
any good thing done for you by other people. No matter where your
heart is, your home is here now; make the best of it. ("Home is less
where your heart is than where you understand the sons-of-bitches",
right?:-). All in all, you are doing well, my subscriber, keep going...
All right, folks, my best wishes to you. Enjoy the quiet
of your screen without INFO-RUSS; see you next year.

Russia War Dead Lie in Filth, Waiting for Kin to Claim Them
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia -- At the sprawling military hospital here,
fruits and vegetables are tenderly stored in a vast, cool cellar
for the winter.
The bodies of Russian soldiers killed in Chechnya lie 100 yards
away, tossed in a dusty open field where dogs are free to prowl. A
few corpses are covered with sheets, but most are naked, even those
burned to the bone. All are bloated, blackened and covered with
flies. A stench fills the air.
That is how the mothers and wives find them, picking their way
through rows of dead bodies under the harsh sun as they try to
identify their Andrei or Sergei or Maksim.
Natalya Zotina, 26, spotted the body of her husband Anatoly, 23,
lying between two twisted, charred corpses, his flesh intact but
his head smashed in. She did not wail or fall apart. She knelt next
to his body and spent the next hour washing him and swatting flies
away from what was left of his face. She got angry later.
"I should have brought my Polaroid camera," she said, over and
over, as she hugged herself and rocked in place. "The world should
know this, people should see how Great Russia treats its
soldiers."
If there is a concentration of grief and horror in Russia over
the war in Chechnya, it is in Rostov-on-Don, a city 750 miles
southeast of Moscow that is the headquarters of the North Caucasus
Military District and the clearing point for wounded and dead
soldiers.
When casualties are evacuated from Chechnya, most come through
Rostov. Parents alerted by telegram that their son was killed are
instructed to come here to provide final identification. Others,
whose sons have been missing for months, just show up, hoping not
to find them.
Death is certified without ceremony or dignity, let alone honor.
There is no more vivid testimony to the confusion and callous
disorder of the Russian army in Chechnya than its main hospital
morgue. Mistakes are common enough to oblige parents to travel here
to identify their dead.
That is because generals cannot say for certain which unit was
fighting where. Officers cannot say for certain who was in their
unit. Personnel records do not always include fingerprints, blood
type and dental X-rays, and sometimes the records themselves are
lost. Soldiers' tattered uniforms rarely carry name tags. Many
soldiers do not wear their dog tags.
Even here, more than 400 miles from the battlefield, the bodies
are piled like cordwood, or as one Russian officer in charge of
what the army calls the Department of Bodies put it, "hunks of meat."
"It's indifference," said Yelena Zubrovskaya, head of the
Rostov Mothers' Committee, a support group, her voice shaking.
"These are not human beings to the army, they are materiel. They
got the materiel for free, they got a lot of it and they discard it
like garbage when it is used up."
The hospital itself, a well-maintained 800-bed unit, has a CAT
scanner, shiny new dialysis machines and plenty of antibiotics and
plasma.
But the morgue is medieval. There are dozens of bodies in it.
Some of the more disfigured have lain there, unidentified and
unclaimed, since the military's bungled assault on Grozny, the
Chechen capital, in the winter of 1995. There are even a dozen dead
Chechen rebels, swept up with the Russian dead in the confusion of
latest battles.
"Muslims are supposed to bury their dead before sunset," the
high-ranking officer said with a trace of glee. "They try to pay
money to get them back, but these guys are not going anywhere."
He spoke on the condition that his name not be used and
explained that he, too, was not entirely pleased with what was
going on here.
"It was better in the old days," he said. "We buried the
unidentified dead all together in 'brotherly graves.' Now, we're
supposed to find out who they are and bury them separately." He
shrugged impatiently. "It's a lot of work, and too expensive."
According to sketchy official figures, about 3,500 army soldiers
and Interior Ministry troops have died in Chechnya since December
1994, although most human rights organizations say the figure is
far higher. Since a new rebel assault on Grozny began Aug. 6, rough
military estimates suggest that at least another 500 servicemen
have died.
In the last two weeks, mothers, fathers and wives have been
pouring into Rostov from all over Russia. Wednesday, a military
cargo plane carrying Natalya Zotina and 30 other relatives of dead
soldiers flew in from the city of Sverdlovsk in the Urals.
Twenty-eight corpses, dragged from the cramped, filthy
refrigerated morgue on stretchers and stained blankets, sometimes
by their feet, were laid out on the ground before the relatives
arrived, and left there the whole day.
Young soldiers in attendance, helpless before the waves of grief
and shock, mostly looked away, smoking silently. Once identified,
the bodies were dressed and placed in metal containers, boxed for
transport in crude pine shipping crates, their last names scratched
on the wood in black pencil.
Nadezhda Maslova, 46, threw herself on to the crate marked "Maslov,
S." and moaned, "Sergei, my Sergei," until a soldier gently pried
her loose. She walked weakly past a charred corpse lying on the
ground, a tissue pressed to her nose, and talked about her son.
"He never even had a girlfriend," she said. "He went
everywhere with me, a real mama's boy." Like the other mothers,
she could recite the last letter she got from him by heart. His,
dated June 22, began: "Mama, I'm going to Chechnya, but don't
worry." She nodded at a father staggering across the grounds,
his face frozen in an odd, almost cheerful grimace.
"The men are lucky," she said quietly. "They can drink vodka
until they are senseless." She and other mothers relied on each
other and tranquilizers.
>From the duty officers, there were no explanations, no answers
to the imploring questions, "How did my son die?" and "Did he
die alone?"
Mrs. Maslova sought a reason why her 20-year-old son, killed on
Aug. 11, was marked as an enlisted soldier when he had been a
conscript when he left home last November. "All they do is shrug,
'We don't know -- we can't say," she said. "Why don't they know
anything? Why can't somebody know something?"
Mrs. Zotina and others said some of their husbands' and sons'
comrades, who were wounded alongside them, were recuperating in the
hospital but were not allowed to talk to the visitors.
The Russian government pays parents' travel and lodging expenses
in Rostov, as well as the cost of shipping bodies back home.
Survivors of soldiers killed in action are supposed to receive a
payment of 50 times the monthly minimum wage, which works out to
about $600. The regional military branch offices are supposed to
cover burial fees. But in many regions, parents receive no death
payment and have to finance the funeral themselves.
"Our local commander said there was no money now," Mrs. Zotina said.
"He told me to bury him myself and they'd try to pay me back later."
The daily problems of Russian life do not disappear here. The
army bus that was supposed to take the mothers back to their hotel
after they identified their dead did not have enough gasoline for
the trip. The driver rejected the women's offer to collect gas
money among themselves and sped off, leaving them to walk or take
cabs. The next morning, the driver failed to appear.
Small kindnesses mostly came from strangers, the women said.
Many cabdrivers refused to take the mothers' money once they
learned where they were headed.
There are a few pockets of consideration on the military base.
Col. Vladimir Shcherbakov, chief of the forensic lab, works in army
offices a few miles from the hospital, and there tries to identify
the bodies -- more than half the total -- that are too burned or
mutilated for a visual identification.
To get around the army's spotty record-keeping, Shcherbakov and
his team have developed sophisticated tracing techniques, using
DNA, skin analysis and computer models of skulls.
Shcherbakov looked heartsick when asked about the way parents
were confronted with their children's death here.
Finally he replied, "You came at the moment when the infrastructure
was not ready to receive such a massive influx of bodies, simply
not ready." He added bitterly: "Even though we had a similar
experience in January 1995 -- then, too, we were absolutely not
prepared. But that experience didn't teach us anything."

NEW WELFARE LAW TO HIT LEGAL IMMIGRANTS HARD
While most of us were enjoying the Summer Olympics, Congress was busy.
Those who complain that Congress never gets anything done certainly were
surprised when Congress passed (and the President promised to sign) the most
sweeping welfare bill since Lyndon Johnson's presidency. Whether one agrees
or not with the concept of reforming the welfare system, it has become clear
that the Welfare Reform Reconciliation Act of 1996 will have a dramatic
effect on immigrant communities across the US.
44% of the budget cuts in the welfare bill stem from eliminating access to
need-based government programs for legal immigrants and refugees (illegal
immigrants are already barred from most forms of welfare). This is
especially harsh since those immigrants represent only 5% of all welfare
recipients. Persons who came in as refugees will fare slightly better than
those that entered as immigrants. The immediate impact of the bill will no
doubt be that many legal immigrants and refugees will face serious economic
problems. The other impact will likely be a surge in the number of
applications for citizenship which will, in turn, likely lead to even longer
backlogs in the naturalization application process.
The following is a summary of provisions in the bill that affect legal
immigrants and refugees.
Food Stamps and Supplemental Security Income ("SSI")
* Most immigrants will be barred from receiving Food Stamps or SSI
(including those qualifying for Medicaid through SSI). As a result, 500,000
people are expected to lose their SSI benefits and 900,000 will lose Food
Stamps. About half of the legal immigrants who lose SSI will have been in
the US for more than ten years when their checks stop arriving.
* Refugees and asylees are exempted from the SSI and Food Stamp bar, but
only for their first five years in the US.
* Persons who have worked for ten years and not received benefits will still
be eligible for SSI and Food Stamps.
Future Immigrants
* Future immigrants will not only be ineligible to receive SSI and Food
Stamps, they will also be barred from all "federal means-tested" programs
for their first five years in the US. "Federal means-tested" has not been
defined, but will certainly include all non-exempt entitlement programs that
determine eligibility based on income or resources. Medicaid is the major
program that will fall into this category.
* Refugees will not be affected by this provision.
* Exempt programs include the following:
* emergency Medicaid
* immunization and testing of symptoms of communicable diseases whether or
not the symptoms are caused by a communicable disease (however, Medicaid may
not be used for such testing or treatment);
* short-term, non-cash emergency relief
* child nutrition, including the WIC program and school meals
* foster care and adoption assistance payments
* higher education loans and grants
* elementary and secondary education
* Head Start
* Job Training Partnership Act
* certain non-cash programs such as soup kitchens
State Control of AFDC and Medicaid
* Each state will have the option to determine whether legal immigrants will
have access to Aid to Families with Dependent Children ("AFDC"), Medicaid
and various programs which use social service block grant money.
* Those subject to the five year bar will not be allowed access to these
programs until their bar period is over.
* States can also bar legal immigrants from programs funded entirely by
state funds.
* Those remaining eligible for SSI and Food Stamps, such as refugees in
their first five years in the US, will not be affected by these provisions.
"Deeming" of Sponsors
* Most persons will effectively be barred from eligibility for "federal
means-tested" programs after the 5 year bar ends due to a new provision
which adds the incomes of the immigrant's sponsors to the immigrant's income
for purposes of determining need-based eligibility for government programs.
For example, if a sponsoring relative earns a poverty-level income and the
immigrant earns a poverty-level income, the two incomes will be combined to
show the immigrant earns twice the poverty income.
* This provision will only affect immigrants entering in the future.
* The law is not clear on whether states may waive the deeming requirements
when determining eligibility for AFDC and SSI.
Sponsoring Future Immigrants
* The new law's Affidavit of Support provisions will severely limit the
ability of many to immigrate.
* Only the petitioning relative (limited generally to US citizen and
permanent resident parents, children, spouses and US citizen siblings) may
sign an Affidavit of Support for a would-be immigrant. The Affidavit of
Support must show enough income to keep the immigrant and all members of the
sponsor's household above the poverty line.
* Incomes of other relatives including grandparents, grandchildren, uncles,
step-parents, cousins or siblings (other than a sponsoring sibling) will not
be considered even if the relative is willing to sign a legally-enforceable
Affidavit of Support.
President Clinton has promised to push for legislation to reverse many of
these provisions. He also promises to use his power to issue Executive
Orders to also lessen the impact of the bill.

Subject: Letter from Strakhov, IPE Moscow
FROM THE STATEMENT FOR THE PRESS
by Academician V.N. Strakhov, General Director of UIPE RAS and
I.I.Naumenko-Bondarenko, Chairman of the Trade Union Committee of
UIPE RAS
On September the 30th, 1996, we, academician Strakhov Vladimir
Nikolaevich, General Director of UIPE RAS and Naumenko-Bondarenko
Igor Ilyich, Chairman of the Trade Union Committee of UIPE RAS started
a hunger strike in a protest against the policy of the Government
of the Russian Federation with regard to Russian science in
general and to the Russian Academy of Sciences in particular.
This policy which has been conducted since 1992 has virtually resulted
in a collapse of the Russian science, first of all of a branch
one. Non-payments of budget financing in 1996 put a final and irrevocable
elimination of the Russian science including the Russian Academy
of Sciences on the agenda. The main features of the process of
the agony of the Russian science are being defined by the following:
a) a criminally low level of wages for an overwhelming majority of
scientists, including Candidates (Ph.D.) and Doctors of Sciences (Prof.)
which does not provide even a subsistence minimum;
b) a heavy moral state of a majority of scientists caused by
a miserable level of wages;
c) a quick loss of professionalism of a higher level by
a majority of scientific staff due to enormous stress;
d) absence of young specialists inflow;
e) a moral and physical wear of the material-technical basis of science;
it is not possible to obtain the results of the world level
without modern experimental equipment and modern computer technique;
f) absence of a necessary level of informational supply of science
(by books, journals, telecommunications, work-shops, conferences
etc.)
At present a lag from a level of the world science for 5-7
years is equal to a complete death of science. The Russian
science has been already lagging behind for five years.
To develop a common state plan of reorganization of science it
is necessary to be guided by long term considerations relating to
a steady development of the country and its population:
a) expenses for science should be transferred to a number of
protected items of the budget;
b) special programs on technical re-equipment of science, and
first of all - the kept RAS Institutes, should be envisaged;
c) a general level of expenses on science should annually grow,
making 4% of the expenditure part of the budget in 1997,
according to the recently adopted law.

GKChP-666: boevaja gotovnost' - povyshennaja
16/10/1996
Segodnja ministr vnutrennix del Kulikov obvinil Lebedja v
podgotovke nasil'stvennogo zaxvata vlasti. Okazyvaetsja:
1. Lebed' podgotovil dokument, na osnove kotorogo budut sozdany
special'nye elitnye vojska "Rossijskij Legion" chislennost'ju 50
tysjach, podchinennye lichno emu, iz sostava luchshix chastej armii,
MVD, razvedki, kontrrazvedki i kakoj-to "nelegal'noj razvedki".
2. Specsekretnyj otdel Legiona budet imet' pravo "likvidacii",
kak vyrazilsja Kulikov, "sami ponimaete kogo".
3. Chechenskie druz'ja Lebedja vydelili 1500 bojcov, kotorye uzhe
ubyli v Rossiju dlja podderzhki perevorota.
4. I voobsche Lebed' oskorbljal prezidenta grjaznymi namekami o ego
zdorov'e.
Vse eto nuzhdaetsja v kommentarijax.
K-1. Po slovam Kulikova, Legion Lebed' predlozhil sozdat'... na
soveschanii s Kulikovym! Vidimo, zhdal ego soglasija...
K-2. Polnost'ju, po slovam ministra, tam skazano "i inyx lic,
predstavljajuschix ugrozu bezopasnosti strany". Poxval'no, chto
ministr dogadalsja - eti slova oznachajut likvidaciju ljubogo
neugodnogo, v tom chisle i ego samogo. Voobsche generalam ot
zhandarmerii byvaet polezno pochuvstvovat' udavku na shee - u nix ot
etogo neozhidanno prorezaetsja pravosoznanie.
K-3. Legion esche tol'ko obsuzhdajut s Kulikovym, kak obrazovat', a
chechency uzhe vyexali. Nu pravil'no, navernoe, tajnymi tropami,
peshkom pojdut... Zamechatel'na takzhe psixologicheskaja detal' -
planiruja za Lebedja perevorot, Kulikov ponimaet, chto 50 tysjach
"rossijskix legionerov" - malo, a vot poltory tysjachi chechencev -
eto budet v samyj raz. Po 30 nashix za odnogo ixnego.
K-4. Interesno, chto takoe mozhno "nameknut'" ob etom predmete, a
ne skazat' prjamo?
Bezuslovno, na urovne moral'nom tut vse - chistaja pravda. Lebed' i
vpravdu ljubit vlast' (svoju) bol'she zhizni (osobenno - chuzhoj), tak
chto likvidacija "inyx lic" dlja nego - ne problema. S idejami
sozdanija na osnove "elitnyx chastej" chastej "superelitnyx" (to
est' takix, gde xotja by nekotorye xotja by inogda zastupajut v
karaul pochti trezvymi) nosilis' vse bez iskljuchenija generaly. I,
razumeetsja, vse oni ponimali, chto ne v gorax Kavkaza, a v
predelax Sadovogo kol'ca im predstoit voevat'. Lebed' - mjagko
govorja, ne iskljuchenie.
A na urovne faktov - tjazhelyj bred. Pochemu Kulikov strjapaet
obvinenie, ni mnogo ni malo, v izmene - na osnove oficial'nogo
pis'ma, peredannogo emu ot Lebedja, ne pripletja dazhe (xotja by
vymyshlennyx) "operativnyx dannyx"? Dazhe klevetat', poxozhe,
razuchilis' (sejchas, kstati, na soveschanijax politrabotnikov na
polnom ser'eze imenno eto vydvigajut v kachestve prichiny chechenskogo
porazhenija).
Bred bredom, a glavnyj-to sanitar etoj bol'nicy sam lezhit na
kojke, prismotret' za bol'nymi nekomu. I vot - apofeoz: "Segodnja
Ministr Vnutrennix Del i Direktor FSB [KGB] sovmestnym prikazom
vveli v podchinennyx uchrezhdenijax i vojskax boevuju gotovnost' -
povyshennuju".
Zasluzhivaet interesa vot kakaja detal': osnovnye rossijskie
telekompanii udelili zajavlenijam Kulikova ogromnoe vnimanie,
pritom vnimanie skoree sochuvstvennoe. A uchityvaja, chto kontrol' za
televideniem osuschestvljaet sejchas Chubajs - vyrisovyvaetsja vpolne
jasnaja konfiguracija sil, predprinjavshix etu ataku.

Zhalko li ptichku?
17/10/1996
Itak, s neprivychnoj bystrotoj El'cin okonchatel'no razreshil
administrativnyj krizis. Ego ukazom Lebed' uvolen s postov
Sekretarja Soveta Bezopasnosti i Pomoschnika Prezidenta. O poste
special'nogo prezidentskogo upolnomochennogo v Chechne net dannyx.
V ukaze i teleobraschenii El'cina ni slovom ne bylo skazano ob
obvinenijax Kulikova v podgotovke voennogo perevorota, odnako,
krome obschix obvinenij ("ne sumel srabotat'sja s komandoj"), byli
skazannye s bol'shim emocional'nym udareniem slova "on pozvolil
sebe neterpimoe - sblizilsja s Korzhakovym". O zagadke etix slov i
ee vozmozhnoj otgadke budet skazano nizhe.
Nezadolgo pered ukazom Chernomyrdin nazval Lebedja "bonapartistom"
i zajavil, chto obvinenija Kulikova "chastichno spravedlivy". Vprochem,
o predreshennosti sud'by generala mozhno bylo dogadat'sja uzhe vchera,
poskol'ku telezhurnalisty NTV (kompanii, otlichajuschijsja obychno
"zapadnym" stilem kommentariev), nazvali otvety Lebedja na
obvinenija Kulikova "uvertkami". Eta leksika "Pravdy" 1937 goda
voznikaet na "intelligentnom" NTV krajne redko. Sobstvenno
govorja, my imeem tol'ko esche odin primer - kogda NTV i ORT
predprinjali skoordinirovannuju ataku na sledovatelej, arestovavshix
sotrudnikov Chubajsa, vynosivshix "chernye" den'gi iz Ministerstva
Finansov dlja predvybornogo shtaba El'cina. Togda prikaz isxodil ot
Chubajsa, dejstvovavshego v tesnom kontakte s Chernomyrdinym. Posle
etoj ataki, v kotoroj dejstvija ljudej, zaderzhavshix rasxititelej,
byli neodnokratno nazvany "popytkoj gosudarstvennogo perevorota",
byl uvolen Korzhakov. Mozhno s bol'shoj uverennost'ju utverzhdat', chto
i na etot raz komanda telekompanijam byla dana tandemom
Chubajs-Chernomyrdin.
Pochemu El'cin tak bystro vmeshalsja, razrushil svoimi rukami
sozdannuju "trexnoguju" sxemu protivoborstva pridvornyx klik?
Nekotorym kljuchom mozhet byt' gnev E. pri upominanii Korzhakova. Po
rjadu svidetel'stv, Chubajsu udalos' tak vystroit' sistemu
otnoshenij v svoej klike, chto udar po nemu ugrozhal i docheri
El'cina Tat'jane D'jachenko. Ubedit' El'cina, chto ves' udar
"supostatov" s samogo nachala byl napravlen ne na "vernogo slugu",
a na "naslednicu", bylo dlja Chubajsa delom texniki. Verojatno, i v
etot raz byla inscenirovana ugroza Tat'jane, tem bolee pugajuschaja,
chto tjazhko bol'noj otec vot-vot sovsem ne smozhet ee zaschitit'.
Sredi ochevidnyx posledstvij etoj pobedy sojuznikov (Ch. i Ch.) - to,
chto oni ostalis' odin na odin. Eta konstrukcija ne obladaet
ustojchivost'ju trexchlennoj, i vrjad li proderzhitsja dolgo.
A dlja mnogix dejatelej liberal'no-gosudarstvennicheskogo lagerja
nastupil "moment istiny". Ochen' mnogoe do six por delalos' kak by
pod flerom vysokoj zadachi - pobedit' Lebedja. Naprimer, kak v svoe
vremja Lebedja pozvali, chtoby razgromit' kommunistov, tak segodnja
na ORT i NTV gnusnye svojstva Lebedja razoblachajut Varennikov i
Iljuxin, samyj plodovityj avtor gazety "Zavtra" Kurginjan (mezhdu
prochim, zaodno sovetnik Kulikova) i lidery Pridnestrov'ja. Teper'
strashnogo pugala net - i my vprave zhdat' ot etix ljudej ix
nastojaschego mnenija. Tak, interesno znat' - glavnyj liberal Rossii
Chubajs schitaet territorial'nuju celostnost' strany "absoljutno
vysshej cennost'ju" vsegda ili tol'ko poka General dumaet inache?
Vot tol'ko skol'ko krovi pridetsja prolit', chtoby eto uznat'?
Kstati, Lebed' s izumivshim menja dostoinstvom skazal segodnja, chto
nadeetsja - neuvol'nenie s dolzhnosti upolnomochennogo po Chechne ne
kanceljarskaja oshibka, potomu chto on tam esche nuzhen.
Segodnja, v dopolnenie k "usilennomu porjadku sluzhby" v MVD,
ob'javleno, chto v Moskvu budut vvedeny kontingenty Vnutrennix

TO EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT
HUMAN RIGHTS IN RUSSIA AND ELSEWHERE
Dear Friends:
We are writing to you on behalf of the Andrei Sakharov Archives and Human
Rights Center at Brandeis University. The Archives, which consist of
documents smuggled to the West during the late 70's and 80's, were
entrusted to Brandeis by Elena Bonner, widow of Andrei Dmitrievich. It
includes his scientific manuscripts, diaries, personal correspondence,
drafts of his "Memoirs," notes on literature, history, civilization, and
much more.
This priceless and absolutely unique collection constitutes the core of the
Sakharov Archives at Brandeis. Plans are now underway for the creation, on
the basis of the Archives, of a Center for the study of the Sakharov era
and human rights issues, so central to the philosophy of Andrei Sakharov,
as expressed in his Nobel lecture "Peace, Progress, Human Rights".
We are calling on you to help us in our efforts to support the Archives and
to create the Center by making a financial contribution. We feel that many
of you understand the role Sakharov played in the struggle for human
rights, generally, and for freedom of emigration, in particular, not to
speak of his unique and inmense contribution to the fall of the communist
totalitarian empire.
You will undoubtedly understand the importance of keeping his legacy of peace
and human rights alive, and therefore, will want to support our efforts. Our
collective experience of life under totalitarianism makes it our duty before
history and humanity to begin this essential work that will be continued by
future generations.
An example of how your gift may be used is the recent opportunity that has
been presented to the Archives to acquire the complete microfilm copy of
the 30-volume KGB investigation files of Sergei Kovalev's case of
1974-1975. Kovalev was one of four editors of the Chronicle of Current
Events; his files, now at the State Archives of Lithuania, are an
indispensable resource for the study of the repressive and ideological
apparatus of Soviet Regime.
This opportunity is a direct result of the demise of the USSR, which left the
KGB archives in the possession of the independent Lithuania. The cost of this
acquisition is solely the expense of microfilming the files. Your support of
the acquisition of these critically important documents would be of great help,
and you will know that you have participated in an historic effort to preserve
the legacy of those who selflessly worked for the rights of others.
Your contribution is fully tax deductible. It can be in the form of check made
payable to Brandeis University, with a note "for the Andrei Sakharov Archives".
It should be mailed to:
The Andrei Sakharov Archives
Goldfarb Library
Brandeis University
415 South Street
Waltham, MA 02254-9110
We suggest a minimum $50 contribution, but any donation will be appreciated.
You may want to consider a donation of an amount you can afford made on a
regular basis, semi-annually or annually. Please include your name and
title, if applicable, the way you want them to appear in Brandeis
University's 1996-1997 Annual Report on Giving. If you need more information,
please contact Tatiana Yankelevich at (617) 736-4717.
Your generosity will always be gratefully remembered at the Sakharov Archives
and Center at Brandeis University, and your name will be permanently inscribed
in our REGISTER OF DONORS. We are confident that you will not remain indiffe-
rent to the important work carried on at Brandeis to preserve Sakharov's
legacy of peace and human rights.
With every good wish,
Robert Szulkin Tatiana Yankelevich
Director Curator
The Andrei Sakharov Archives and
Human Rights Center at Brandeis University

Reuter, Nov. 17'96
Israel Vows Revenge if Syria Uses Chemical Weapons
JERUSALEM (Reuter) - Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak
Mordechai accused Syria on Sunday of making chemical weapons
with Russia's help and vowed to hit hard if Damascus turned them
on the Jewish state.
Interviewed by Israel Radio, Mordechai again appealed to
Israel's arch-foe to renew peace talks deadlocked over the fate
of the Golan Heights Israel captured from Syria in the 1967
Middle East war and the terms of peace.
"We know that in Syria they're manufacturing chemical
products for military purposes,"; Mordechai said. He said some
were being made with the help of the Russians.
"I hope that they'll never use it, certainly not against
us. But we cannot overlook it. We must take the threats into
account and so we do."
Israel and Syria have accused each other over the last month
of preparing for war.
Citing an interview he gave the Sunday Times published in
London on Sunday, Mordechai said: "When I was asked a concrete
question what will happen when they (Syria) will use this
weaponry against us -- and the threat of the Syrian defense
minister was emphasised -- I said if someone will dare to turn
this kind of weaponry on us, it's clear we will act with all of
the means in our possession, we will hit hard at Syria and
obviously the regime will also be at risk.
"It's better for them not to do this and find other ways
for us to be able to resolve conflicts,"; he told the radio.
He urged Syria "to return to the negotiating table, to stop
the tension and find every way possible to enter into talks and
reach, I hope, in the end peace."
"We don't want war, we want peace. Arab states well know
the strength of the state of Israel, believe me"; he said.
On-off Syrian-Israeli peace talks received a setback in June
when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office and
rejected trading Arab lands for peace, the principle
underpinning Middle East peace negotiations since 1991.

Reuter, Wednesday November 20
Ex-Soviet Dissident Sharansky to Visit Moscow
MOSCOW (Reuter) - Former Soviet Jewish dissident Natan
Sharansky returns to Russia next week, 10 years after he was
freed from a Soviet jail in an East-West prisoner exchange.
Sharansky, now Israel's trade and industry minister, hopes
to boost commercial ties between the Jewish state and Russia
during his seven-day visit, Israel's ambassador to Moscow, Aliza
Shenar, told a news conference Wednesday.
"But, of course in addition to its direct commercial and
trade aims the visit will also be charged with definite emotions
and feelings", Shenar told a news conference.
Sharansky, 48, spent nine years in Soviet prisons before
being allowed to leave for Israel in an East-West swap in 1986.
Shenar, speaking in Hebrew through a Russian interpreter,
said Sharansky's visit would make a "significant contribution"
to Russian-Israeli relations, which have seen a big improvement
in recent years.
Accompanied by a 70-strong delegation of Israeli businessmen
and industrialists, Sharansky will meet senior Russian officials
for talks focusing on the sectors of telecommunications,
agricultural technology and medical equipment.
Shenar said bilateral trade, virtually non-existent five
years ago, was now worth about $500 million and expanding fast.
Asked whether Sharansky would discuss the current human
rights situation in Russia, Shenar said it was now outside his
domain, adding that conditions had changed dramatically since
Soviet times when Jews suffered discrimination and harassment.
Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov visited Israel
last month and Moscow is a co-sponsor of the Middle East peace talks.
"I am glad to be able to say that relations between Russia
and Israel are very good" Shenar said.
Sharansky is a founder member of the Jewish movement and
the unofficial human rights Helsinki Group. He first applied for
an exit visa to Israel in 1973 but was refused for "security reasons"
After his imprisonment in 1978 for alleged espionage his wife Avital
waged an international campaign for his release that made him one
of the Soviet Union's most celebrated dissidents in the West.
He was released from jail on February 11 1986. He arrived in
Israel to a hero's welcome that same night.
Sharansky became a minister in right-wing Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's government after his Yisrael ba-Aliya party
won seven seats in parliament after May's elections.
Yisrael ba-Aliya, which means Israel on the Rise, draws
support from more than half a million Jews who have immigrated
from the former Soviet Union since the late 1980s.

Lukashenko Moves to Expand Power in Belarus
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
MINSK, Belarus -- President Alexander Lukashenko was declared
the overwhelming victor on Monday in the referendum he organized
to expand his power, and he immediately moved to do just that.
Western and Eastern European nations have assailed the
referendum on Lukashenko's proposal to amend the constitution
at the expense of an independent legislature and judiciary.
But on Monday it was Lukashenko who appeared to have the
upper hand. After election officials said at a news
conference that 70.5 percent of the voters had backed
Lukashenko's proposal, the president made a triumphant entry.
Wearing his trademark double-breasted suit, Lukashenko said he
would organize a new parliament, as aides and supporters in
specially reserved front-row seats nodded approvingly. Judges
on the Constitutional Court who abandon their "political
preferences" can stay, Lukashenko said.
But parliamentary leaders, who have been locked in a bitter
battle with Lukashenko and have pushed to impeach him, insisted
they would not cooperate. The speaker of Parliament, Semyon
Sharetsky, called the referendum a "farce," saying nobody knew
how many ballots were printed or how the election was financed.
Lukashenko remains popular with many voters, especially in rural
areas. Still, observers generally agree that the election was
not fair. The head of the Central Election Commission was
dismissed before the referendum. The voting was held over a
two-week period, making monitoring difficult.
Opposition leaders have asserted that the turnout was inflated,
saying the figure soared from 59 percent to 84 percent in the
final four hours of the election, though polling stations did
not appear to be crowded.
The figures on the turnout are important because the support of
more than 50 percent of the electorate is needed to approve
changes in the constitution.
The coverage on state-controlled Belarussian television was also
decidedly pro-Lukashenko. Out of 2,178 minutes devoted to referendum,
1,970 favored the president, according to the European Media
Institute, which monitored the election for the European Union.
The rest of the time was neutral between the two sides.
Underscoring Lukashenko's control over the broadcast media,
Sharetsky said he had asked for television time for 10 days
before the referendum only to be turned down.
To a certain extent, the one-sided, pro-Lukashenko coverage on
Belarussian television was balanced by the critical treatment
the president has received at the hands of the Russian media.
Russian television has highlighted Lukashenko's drive for power
and his provocative, even inflammatory, statements.
The Russian ORT Network, for example, recently played a tape of
an interview Lukashenko gave to a German newspaper in which he
praised Hitler for bringing stability to Germany. Lukashenko has
asserted that the tape is a forgery and threatened to censor Russian
television broadcasts from Belarus. But in general the Russian
networks have devoted considerably less air time to the political
situation in Belarus than state-owned television in Belarus.
The immediate question, however, is how Lukashenko plans to use the
referendum to augment his authority. Claiming a popular mandate
from the voters, he has sought to pressure deputies to go along
with his plan to establish a new parliament.
Seeking to co-opt deputies, he invited 120 members on Monday to
join him for discussions on how to establish a new parliament.
Under the Lukashenko version of the constitution, a new 110-member
house of representatives is to be formed. At the same time, he
insisted that he has no plans to dissolve Parliament altogether.
But Levon Borshchevsky, the acting chairman of the Belarussian
Popular Front, a nationalist organization that has challenged the
president, predicted that Lukashenko would ultimately dissolve
both Parliament and the Constitutional Court. "There will be
anti-constitutional steps," Borshchevsky said.
Parliament's competing proposal to amend the constitution so as to
eliminate the presidency received the backing of only 7.9 percent
of the voters in the referendum, election officials said on Monday.
The Russians, who brokered an earlier compromise that collapsed
after a few hours, still appear to be trying to salvage the deal.
Anatoly Chubais, President Boris Yeltsin's chief-of-staff, spoke
with Sharetsky by telephone on Monday. And Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin described Lukashenko as a "reasonable person" who was
still likely to seek a compromise with Parliament.
But Gennady Karpenko, Sharetsky's deputy, said that the opposition
thought the previous Russian-brokered compromise tilted too much
toward Lukashenko and they no longer trusted Moscow to mediate the
dispute. As far as the opposition is concerned, he said, Moscow
"should stay on the sidelines."

Reuter, Saturday November 30
Russian Military Train Leaves Chechnya
GROZNY, Russia (Reuter) - A train loaded with Russian
military equipment pulled out of rebel Chechnya on Saturday as
Moscow's last troops in the war-torn region prepared to leave.
Chechen fighters cheered as the train, loaded with tanks and
other equipment, rumbled slowly out of the Khankala base near
Grozny and toward the Russian heartland.
"In 1994, Dzhokhar Dudayev said the Russians would ask us
for a corridor so they could leave in safety, and now they are
leaving," smiled Chechen fighter Ruslan.
Former rebel leader Dudayev was killed in a Russian rocket
attack in April this year.
A group of children stood by the side of the track shouting
"Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) as the train moved off. A
helicopter gunship circled overhead in the clear blue sky.
A second, much longer train headed toward the base ready to
be loaded with troops and equipment.
Russia sent troops into mainly-Muslim Chechnya in December
1994 to crush its drive for independence. Tens of thousands of
people, mostly civilians, were killed in 21 months of fighting.
The two sides reached a peace deal in August after Moscow
was humilated by a rebel attack on Grozny.
President Boris Yeltsin last week ordered the withdrawal of
the remaining Russian forces, paving the way for an agreement
between the interim government in Grozny and the Kremlin.
However, the withdrawal has been slammed by Yeltsin's
opponents in the Communist-dominated State Duma lower house of
parliament. They say the pull-out and the peace deal could lead
to Russia's disintegration.
Chechen leader Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev said Saturday there had
been positive changes in Russian policy but added:
"At the top in Russia, there are many forces, especially in
the Duma, who have different attitudes to the withdrawal of
troops, that is they support Russia and Chechnya sorting out
their relations by force."
But Russia also faces practical problems in the withdrawal.
Interior Minister Anatoly Kulikov said Saturday many of the
troops had nowhere to go.
"The president...has instructed the government to take all
measures to ensure that the troops are moved into well prepared,
or at least, relatively well prepared accommodation," he said
on NTV commercial television.
He added: "We were against the pullout. But now that the
decision has been made...there can be no further discussion on
the matter. All we can do after that is to discuss how best to
implement the decision."
Itar-Tass news agency quoted the commander of Russian
interior ministry forces Anatoly Shkirko as saying it would cost
300 billion roubles ($54 million) to pull out the nearly 18,000
troops and a further two trillion to build them a new base.
The soldiers will be rebased in the southern Russian town of
Budennovsk, scene of a bloody Chechen guerrilla raid in 1995.
The raid was led by Chechen field commander Shamil Basayev,
who said Friday he would stand for president in regional
elections due next January.
Yandarbiyev and the region's prime minister Aslan Maskhadov
may also contest the election, due on January 27. Russia has
said the troops will leave Chechnya before the poll.

Dear Net Citizens,
Please raise your voices against the communist electoral fraud in
Serbia!
Although the coalition of democratic political parties won the local
elections in the largest cities in Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic and his
communist government have refused to recognize the democratically
expressed will of the people. They decided to declare the elections
invalid. So far the communist government has ignored both the massive
demonstrations of the several hundred thousand citizens of Serbia
against
the electoral fraud as well as the protests of the US, EU, French and
German governments.
Students in major cities have declared a strike and joined the protests.
Citizens' protests are spreading throughout Serbia and it seems that the
likelihood of major confrontation between the government and
pro-democracy forces is increasing. (For the most recent information,
please see the web site http://www.siicom.com/odrazb/b92-danger.html)
New, democratic Serbia needs your help.
Please put your name, city, and country under the following petition
and
then forward this letter to anybody else who might be ready to help us.
If you are 50th, 100th, or 150th, etc. to sign it, please also
forward it to the following e-mail addresses:
1. president@whitehouse.gov
(United States Government)
2. webmaster@europarl.eu.int
(European Union Parliament: to the Committee on Petitions)
3. CHRETIENJ@GOV.PAR.CA
(Canadian Government)
4. protest96@galeb.etf.bg.ac.yu
(The Head Committee of Belgrade Student Protest of '96)
5. stefanov@sfu.ca (We need to organize all lists of signatures.)
We, the undersigned, appeal to the United States government, the
European Parliament and the Canadian government to take all necessary
diplomatic steps to force the president of Serbia to comply with the
democratically expressed will of the citizens of Serbia in the local
elections. It would be tragic if the governments of democratic countries
allowed a communist leader to suppress the democratically expressed will
of the people of Serbia and Yugoslavia. There can be no lasting peace in
Bosnia without a victory of democracy in Serbia.
Signed:
1. Djordje Stefanovic, Vancouver, Canada
2. Natasa Przulj, Vancouver, Canada

This is sort of urgent; a friend of mine asked for it.
A family from Moscow (two ladies and a kid) arriving in

Green card lottery), are looking for any connection to
Tatar community in NY or simply any Tatar family in the

Please reply directly to the address

What Spain has to do with it?
Nobody knows. They've been in Spain, of course, but it
was hundreds years ago, and then they were driven
away and went north (those left alive...).
There was a mute and rarely spoken about story/legend in
the family. There was a man, a fighter pilot; in the end of
1930-ties he was sent to Spain (as a "volunteer", of course),
to fight on the Republican side against Franco. He managed to
come back, alive and decorated. To meet his death at home.
As most of those who came back, he was arrested and thrown in
Gulag. He disappeared in there; nobody ever heard of him again.
What left of him, was a name, "uncle Vitaly", and a faded
photo of a military man, an officer with the rank rhombs on his
collar, a man with a strong, intelligent face, his hairs
thrown back... After the family moving many times from one
location to another back in Russia, and later on -- in the
emigration, the photo disappeared too..
Nobody is left now to tell his story.
His father was apparently a teacher; he and his family were
murdered by the Germans; his grand-father (a man at the root of
the family) was a rabbi; the place was Ukraine, Belaya Tserkov'
and probably Stavischi. I never heard of that pilot having
his own family. His cousin and the cousin's brother-in-low
(married to two sisters) went to the war of 1941-45. The
cousin, who used to be an electrical engineer before the war,
went through the entire war, from the first till
the last day of it, as a military engineer, installing and
later on -- digging out land-mines; the cousin's brother-in-low
used to be a worker at soap-making factory before the war,
also went through the entire war as an infantry soldier, a
private... Their families -- women and kids -- have been left
behind in Kiev; by almost a miracle they've got out of Kiev right
before the Germans completed encircling the city. Their train
was bombed to rubble by "stukas", diving bombers, and they walked
in night for their lives, carrying dead-tired kids. Four years
later, the two soldiers came back too, with multiple wounds,
yet alive... (The real heros in all this were probably women,
two sisters and their mother, who did what they've done for love,
and not for their believes nor because they were commanded to.)
These kids grew up and, each in their own time, emigrated
to the States, and brought in those of their parents still
alive with them. Both of those old soldiers as well as their
wives-sisters, have passed away by now. (One of the sisters,
the cousin's wife, have died in Russia, and the family brought
in her ashes with them.) Their four children live now in the
East Coast, -- an accountant, a retired construction engineer,
a wood-carver, and a university professor; one of them can
even be found in "Who is who in America"...
Those who went to fight in Spain in 1930-ties, were required
to use assumed names. But they were perhaps allowed to keep
their first names. I am wandering, how they called "uncle
Vitaly" back there; "don Vito"?
Krasivoe imya -- vysokaya chest',
Grenadskaya volost' v Ispanii est'...
His bones are rotting now out there, deep in dirt
somewhere in Russia.
Oblaka plyvut, oblaka,
V dal'nii krai plyvut, v Kolymu,
I ne nuzhen im advocat,
Im amnisiya ni k chemu...
His grand-parents' graves in Ukraine were vandalized and erased
from the face of earth by local mobs long while ago.
His parents remains (same as parents of his cousin) have
no graves either. Those who might've known more about him,
rest at quiet, discreet cemeteries on the American East Coast.
And "The sky is clear all over Spain".
But what Spain has to do with it?
Very Spanishly yours,
Alejandro Nalpak
Hasta la vista, my reader

Subject: INFO-RUSS: okaziya to Perm, Russia
HELP! I am repeating this request for help now because at this point I am
desparate. I urgently need to send some important papers to someone in Perm,
Russia, this month (Dec. 96). I am scheduled to go there in February, and if
I can't get this material to them this month, my trip may not be possible.
The package will only be a small envelope, and my friends in Perm will meet
you at the airport there so you won't have to worry about trying to locate
them. Please, if you are going to Perm, let me know. My e-mail address is
GlenOVinc@aol.com. You can call me toll-free at 1-800-631-1945 PIN 5707.
Thanks!
Glen Vincent
