Liberals form coalition
A new electoral bloc emerged in Moscow on 2 June. It expects to take third place in the State Duma after the parliamentary elections in December. Today, it is true, marked only the emergence of a coalition, as two parties, Liberal Russia (which broke away from Berezovsky) and the Republican Party signed an agreement on forming a coalition. The agreement was signed directly by the co-chair of the Liberal Party, Viktor Pokhmelkin, and Republican Party co-chair Boris Federov, former minister of finance in the government of Yegor Gaidar, the so-called “young reformers”. Full Story...
Investigation over, no trial to follow
The investigation into the Dubrovka theatre hostage crisis that rocked Moscow on October 23, 2002 has been closed.

Will Turkmenia be without Niyazov in autumn?
After Turkmenian President Saparmurat Niyazov's visit to Moscow in April this year where he signed the "gas agreement" with Russia, strange rumour began to emerge amongst his associates. Even though it may bear no relation to the reality, it is still interesting as it may reflect a

The "point of evil" or how Russia is preparing a little Iraq

The False Amnesty.
On 21 of May the State Duma passed a resolution on amnesty after the first hearing following the adoption of the Chechen Republic Constitution. The amnesty has turned out to be just as hypocritical as the recent referendum.

Anti-Semitism in Armenia
"On the evening of 19 May in Yerevan there was a torch-light procession of young people to mark the 88th anniversary of genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Empire. The impressive procession flooded the cityÒs central streets. Members of youth organisation ARFD (Armenian Revolutionary

Turkmenbashi has let the genie out of the bottle
American citizen Leonid Komarovskii was pardoned in in a way fitting to a dictatorship such as Turkmenistan: while the front pages of every newspaper carried both president Saparmurat Niyazov’s decree of pardon, and the letter of confession which Komarovskii had addressed to Turkmenbashi, local TV stations continued to show the so-called “terrorist” reading his own confession. Full Story...
