Self-sacrifice in the name of religious convictions has become an uncommon practice these days. There’s something medieval about the tradition. But an epoch is characterized by rather brutality of executioners, not the mentality of people suffering for immaterial values, and therefore, Turkmenia is by no means a modern state. Full Story...Very timely spate of extremism
 That was really a timely masterstroke! This spate of violence came just as Russia’s authorities seem to be about to push through a draconian counter-extremism law. Is it not the right moment to call voting, honorable members of parliament?! To make the new president’s ‘concoction’ less revolting, Russian parliamentarians and common people have been treated with rampaging in downtown Moscow. Not at all a happy experience, was it ? Then cast your votes for extra legal measures to combat extremism. Full Story...Evil sports of mass sport
Police ran for their lives yesterday in Moscow downtown, giving us a weird opposition of two faces: the mug, worn by the rioters; and the poor visage of the authorities. The discouraging impression of the weekend is hard to be matched. Full Story...Tashkent police profit from prostitution
Prostitution and sexual exploitation issues have been harrasing Uzbekistan recently. The Uzbek capital’s troubles serve as an exemplary illustration: here, policemen capitalize on the clandestine business, imposing tributes on prostitutes for exercising their “profession” in the streets. Full Story...Journalists given a lesson on mass media independence
 Last weekend, an international conference, entitled “Independence of Mass Media in Post-Communist Countries”, wrapped up its deliberations at the Central House of Journalists in Moscow. The event was attended by over 100 mass media chiefs and executive officers from the former Soviet Union, Europe and the United States. The mass media forum was sponsored by the World Committee for Free Press, the International Confederation of Journalistic Unions, Russia’s Union of Journalists, the US-based Open Society Institute. Financial backing came from the US Ford Foundation and some other prominent foreign organizations. Full Story...The cunning fighters against extremism
 Russian State Duma has passed in the first reading the law “On counteraction to extremism”. It appears that no one, save for inveterate lumpens and arrant revolutionaries, would mind the best intentions of the country’s legislators and the top official, who had personally propelled the draft for the Parliamentary consideration. On the other hand, best intentions are known to be leading somewhat farther than astray. Whose but the legislators’ concern was it to investigate the means, not the end? After due examination of the political moment, one may doubt the move’s official objective.Full Story... Bloody clashes with police in Azerbaijan
 Bloody clashes in Azeri village Nardaran, 30 km from Baku, threaten to be continued. Despite the police retreat, the atmosphere in the village remains tense. According to some sources, Nardaran residents set up barricades, preparing to repel the National Guard and internal military forces, which may arrive at the village for the special operation. The collisions were reportedly sustained throughout last night. Full Story...One seat, two contenders
“The summer starts with TV-6”, read the street banners across entire Moscow, notifying that Evgeny Kiselyov’s squad, twice bemoaned by the Democratic public, will resume broadcasting on June 1. The picture on the sixth channel’s screen has already grown to be perceived as a wonder. Heavy doubts had been clouding the possible comeback of Kiselyov’s team. Yet, the seemingly fortunate status quo fails to boast stability, since TVS appears to have based upon legally questionable foundations. Full Story...Small war, big money
The standoff between India and Pakistan has been a focus of international attention for some six months now. Many heads of state have been long persuading the two foes to sit across the negotiating table, to talk face-to-face. The parties, however, continue to give trouble, calling each other names such as terrorists and enemies of the entire humanity, reminding everyone that they do possess nuclear arsenals, but at the same time pledging to refrain from first-use of nuclear weapons. They would, perhaps, keep their promise. The world would be most likely spared another real war, with the dispute growing just into another border conflict similar to those which Kashmir had already witnessed, and not once. Full Story...Anoesis of remorse
 The expert conclusion on mental state of colonel Budanov at the moment of murdering a Chechen girl Elsa (Heda) Kungayeva, in which the specialists from the Serbski State Center of Forensic and Social Psychiatry pronounced the high-ranking criminal irresponsible, contains gross mistakes from the scientific point of view. The Independent Psychiatry Association (IPA) is willing to participate in the repeated independent psychiatric commission on the case, proposing to attract its foreign members, who would be spared pressure from either party to the legal process. This was announced by head of IPA Yury Savenko on May 3 at the press conference in «Mir Novostey» news agency, which also featured IPA's honored member and PRIMA news agency editor-in-chief Alexander Podrabinek.
