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...

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.

There are seven Kyrgyz migrants have been killed by skinheads in Russia from the beginning of 2008. Recently, Tair Jamgyrbaev, a Kyrgyz migrant worker in Moscow market, was killed yesterday. I decided to give a reference to my article published last year from Moscow: Tuman: RUSSIA: Racial Discrimination Accelerates

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...

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...
