Бул апта Россиядагы мигранттарга байланыштуу окуяларга бай болду. Аларды полиция массалык рейддерде кармады, кээде уруп-сабады... Мен Москва, Тюмень, Новосибирск, Омск, Сургут шаарларындагы окуялар жонундо кабарлап жаттым. Баары "Азаттыктын" сайтында: www.azattyk.org 

Жакында эс алып Москвада болдум. Эсинерде болсо, мен бир нече жыл мурда "Менин Орусиям" деген фото-баян жасаган элем. Быйыл сентябрда болгондо ошону улантууну чечтим. Мен билген Москва кандай озгорду? Мына ушул жердеги суроттордон коргуло.           Буга чейинки "Менин Москвам" фото-баяндар: http://torokul.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-moscow.html http://torokul.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-moscow-part-2.html  

Владимир Путин орус саясатында аты чыга баштаганына туура 10 жыл болду. Мен бул тууралуу бүгүн “Азаттыкка” макала жаздым . Бирок Путинге, анын “дооруна”, саясатына карата менин жеке пикирим, албетте, анда жазылган жок. Алар жөнүндө кыскача ушул жерде силерге айтайын деп турам... В.Путиндин аты алгач дүйнөгө жар салынганына азыр 10 жыл болсо, ал мамлекетти де-юре сегиз жылдай бийледи (калган эки жылы премьер-министрлик кызматта өттү). Мына ушул мезгилдин жети жылын мен Орусияда өткөрдүм. Менин студенттик мезгилим да, журналисттик алгачкы кадамдарым да дал ушул мезгилге туш келди. Путиндин аты менен байланышкан чуулгандуу окуялар: Дубровкадагы “Норд-Ост” окуясы, Бесландагы мектепке чабуул, Чеченстандагы кырдаал, Москвадагы метро станциялардагы жана башка жерлердеги жардыруулар , скинхеддердин баш көтөрүшү, орус олигархтарына чабуул, журналист Анна Политковскаянын өлүмү , кийин Борис Ельциндин дүйнөдөн кайтышы, В.Путиндин экинчи президенттик мөөнөтү, парламенттик шайлоо, Д. Медведев менен...

10-февралда Human Rights Watch эларалык уюму Орусиядагы мигранттардын абалын иликтеген баяндамасын жарыялады. Анда уюм орус өкмөтүн мигранттардын укугун коргоп, алардын жумуш шарттарын жакшыртууга чакырган. ( Макаланы толук окуу... )

2008-жылы Орусияда скинхеддердин колунан өлгөндөрдүн саны тарыхта болуп көрбөгөн жогорку чегине жетти. Расмий кабарларда үч кыргыз жараны былтыр орусиялык улутчул "такырбаш" жаштардын колунан набыт болгон делет. Укук коргоочулар скинхеддер ондон ашуун кыргыз жаранын өлтүрүштү дешет.

Today it's my last day in Moscow. It's an end of my six year life in Russia. Something is changing, something is becoming more complicated inside. But I'm ready for it. I'll always keep these memories on my mind. I'll never forget Moscow, its hospitality, its people, its beautiful and rich history, and even its skinheads :) I'm thankful for all what I've earned here. I'm sure of one thing - I'll come back soon :) -- Alexandrovsky sad. September 2007. "Three brothers" of Kremlin. Love...

Hi there, Here is a second part of "My Moscow" photo-report. I've tried to focus here on specific detailes with a link to the history of Russia or Moscow. -- On the wall: "Alexandr Sergeevich Pushkin visited the Moscow State University in September of 1832" Moscow Metro named after V.I.Lenin is known as one of the best in the world. But bust of Lenin inside the metro seems "unhappy..." BBC has called his as "The man who really beat Hitler", and he is galloping to sky? (The monument to Marshal G.K. Zhukov) But something has not changed... Just "Love..." :) To be continued...

Well-known blogger from Portugal Rui Rocha has published today my article on upcoming presidential elections in Russia. I would like to thank Rui for the initiative and translation work into Portuguese. http://ofiltro.wordpress.com/2007/08/02/faq1-o-imperio-putin/

Congratulations to all my friends in Russia! It was reported just now!!! The Russian resort of Sochi has been chosen to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games!!! :)) OMG!!! It was two good days: Yesterday, I was happy that BBC's Alan Johnston was freed from hostage in Gaza. And today great news about Sochi!!! :)

Police have confirmed the fact of mass fight on Friday night (June 22) in three Moscow locations. Around 50 people from the right-wing extremists had attacked against people from Central Asia and Caucasus (there were some people from Kyrgyzstan as well). One ethnic Armenian man was hospitalized with stab wounds. Police arrested more than 40 people. They coordinated attacks against foreigners. According to agency reports, they were from the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, which is well-known with its ultra-nationalistic activities and whose name connected with recent ethnic clashes in Stavropol. It’s difficult to find differences between this organization and wild skinheads… Today, Moscow police called up all political parties and movements to stop to encourage youth fighting against foreigners. Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov pledged on Saturday that the city authorities "will not allow nationalist and chauvinist manifestations" in the capital and will "clamp down on al...

Today, I have heard that slain Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya posthumously awarded a “Freedom of the Press Award” of the U.S. National Press Club “for her fearless reporting on the behavior of the Russian military in Chechnya”. She worked for the “Novaya gazeta”, independent news-paper in Russia. In October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in the entrance of her flat building in Moscow. The killers have not been found yet.

By Torokul Doorov On May 24, Amnesty International, the human rights watchdog, presented annual report for 2007. The right group criticized Russia of intensifying pressure on civil society; independent media, turning a blind eye to the growing number of hate crimes targeting foreigners, immigrants and sexual minorities. As the flow of foreigners into Russia has significantly increased over the last years, the nationalistic moods amongst local populations are also growing. What are the reasons behind this tendency, how the government is coping with this problem? I reached up some local experts and labor migrants from Kyrgyzstan, to find out more. “When walking in the streets, local people with children demonstratively avoid us or skeptically look at us as if we would hurt their kids. Perhaps they think of us as uneducated people as we often are treated by locals as ignorant. The other day, I was traveling by subway and heard two old women in the wagon talking to each other: “Can you be...

By David Nowak The Moscow Times Friday, June 8, 2007 When President Vladimir Putin signed a 2002 anti-extremism law in response to a wave of hate crimes linked to skinheads, critics warned it was a thinly veiled move to silence opponents. Five years later, evidence is mounting to support their fears. Renowned human rights activist Lev Ponomaryov, political analyst Vladimir Pribylovsky and political scientist Andrei Piontkovsky say the Federal Security Service has targeted them recently under the pretext of stamping out extremism. More liberal intelligentsia than White Power, these three Kremlin critics say they have been caught in a wider campaign to label anyone who disagrees with the powers that be as extremist. The investigations come as the Kremlin is being bombarded with accusations of stifling democracy from top European and U.S. officials, who have criticized its treatment of political opponents. Ponomaryov was questioned at the FSB's Lubyanka headquarters Monday over a spee...

Hello everybody! I want to share my impressions with you on last trip to Kaluga! We had a great Forum yesterday in Russian region of Kaluga. It’s about three hours far from Russian capital of Moscow. The Kyrgyz Diaspora in Russia “Kyrgyz Unity” had organized The International Forum of Kyrgyz Diasporas. I had a good chance to meet with some leaders of Kyrgyz Diasporas from Turkey, Tajikistan, and Ukraine. Actually, I met some of them before in Kiev last February, so I was happy to meet them again, this time in Russia. Fantastic open place in a Russian forest, more than 32 yurtas (nomad’s tent), and Kyrgyz national sport “kurosh” (wrestling), national tradition “tushoo kesuu” (devoted with first steps of the child), and Kyrgyz national songs performed by Salamat Sadykova (People’s Artist of Kyrgyzstan) had just bewitched me… Now, time for some memories from that event: There was a long "symbolic" (with Kyrgyz and Russian flags) track to the main place And it was a beginning of ...

By Chloe Arnold. MOSCOW, May 31, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- The chief suspect in the murder of former Russian intelligence officer Aleksandr Litvinenko has said British secret services were behind Litvenenko's murder last year. Andrei Lugovoi also said Litvinenko was a British spy and that MI6 had tried to recruit him as a spy, too. Lugovoi, who has been charged in Britain with the murder of Aleksander Litvinenko, told a news conference in Moscow today that Litvinenko was a British spy who was murdered by either British special services, exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky, or the Russian mafia. Whoever did it, Lugovoi said Litvinenko's poisoning with the rare radioactive isotope polonium-210 in November had to have taken place under the "control" of Britain's foreign intelligence service, MI6: "There is one thing about which I have no doubt," Lugovoi said. "Whatever happened, Litvinenko's poisoning could not have happened without the control of the Br...
