Russia attempts to legalize terrorists

The closer date of elections the more stupid and unexplainable things are happening in Russia, in the Russian government, rather.

Recently the State Duma (a kind of parliament) announced that they were on the verge of adopting the amnesty of ‘former’ Chechen militants. I think, every logical person can understand what results such a populist decision (most probably dated to upcoming elections, both presidential and in the parliament) can cause.

Just think over it: those thugs have been killing, raping and kidnapping people and nobody’s going to punish them. What they’re asked is just to say “Sorry” – and they can be let go. Go where? Presumably, go killing, raping and kidnapping people. Any reasonable person realizes that there are no ‘former’ militants; there are no ‘former’ terrorists. People whose hands are painted with innocent people’s blood cannot become kind and humane just under the directive of politicians.



Beware: you can come across those kind people soon. They'll be freely walking down the street

The current situation means that those politicians are ready to sacrifice innocent people’s lives to win elections or boost their popularity amongst those well-known human rights activists (who care more about the rights of homosexuals or perverts who are in minority rather than about the rights of normal people).

If the law on amnesty of former Chechen militants is adopted (and it already passed through two hearings) the gangs will have the legal right to freely travel across the territory of Russia. But who really cares about those minor things that some of them could have taken part in organization of terrorist attacks in 2001 in USA, in 2004 in Russia (Beslan) and blowing up apartment houses in Moscow?

Seems like the politicians have chosen, as usual, the most simple way to ‘solve’ the problem: they can’t catch terrorists throw them in jails, so they announce that they are not terrorist any more to calm down the Western World and pretend that terrorism has been defeated.

Interesting policy, isn’t it?

Signs of upcoming revolution in Russia?


Dozens of people stripped of their savings by a fraudulent construction firm went on a hunger strike Monday in an unfinished Garden Ring building.

The hunger strike coincided with a protest that drew 400 to 500 people to the White House. The protest lasted about an hour and ended without incident.




Those at the hunger strike and protest are demanding the federal government compensate them with finished apartments -- which they assumed they were getting when they paid Sotsialnaya Initsiativa for homes that were never built or sold to multiple buyers.

Nikolai Karasyov, former head of Sotsialnaya Initsiativa, was arrested and charged with large-scale fraud in January.

Scores of protests have broken out in Moscow and the surrounding region since summer 2005, when news of the fraud surfaced.

Monday's demonstrations in Moscow were accompanied by similar protests in Voronezh, Novosibirsk, Orenburg and Belgorod. More than 50,000 families nationwide are believed to have been cheated out of apartments.

The hunger strike at an unfinished women's center on the Garden Ring, near the intersection with Tsvetnoi Bulvar, included many who had traveled from Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Smolensk and various towns in the Moscow region. Demonstrators huddled on mats on the second floor of the building. They were armed with bottled water and a television set and said they had brought portable toilets.

Cheering on those inside the women's center was a crowd of 150 to 200 protesters outside the building. The protesters, who had trekked to the center from the White House demonstration, touted banners, chanted and applauded. Police blocked their entrance to the center.

Actually, police (OMON) tried to break up the rally but the deceived people showed a strong resistance and police had just to block tham road to the White House.

Construction of the women's center had been paid for by a group of small and medium-size businesses. In a deal with city authorities, the group agreed to build the center in exchange for the right to build their own office building next door to the women's center.

Sotsialnaya Initsiativa had been hired by the group to build the whole project -- the office building and the women's center -- but the construction firm ran out of cash last year.

The group had paid Sotsialnaya Initsiativa $10 million to build the whole project. It is unclear how much more the project was expected to cost.

For now, the group's ownership of the unfinished center and office building is under dispute.

The group invited the hunger strike organizers to hold their demonstration at the construction site.

Those involved in the hunger strike showed up at the construction site early in the morning Monday, fearing police interference. Police had illegally blocked the entrance to the site, which is guarded by a security firm hired by the business group.

61 people had declared their intent to go on the hunger strike in a letter they planned to send to President Vladimir Putin's administration. An estimated 40 demonstrators were seen at the hunger strike.

The group of protesters rallying outside the center was eventually dispersed by police, who threatened to detain them if they did not leave.

Gay Porno Show Right in the Center of a Russian City

A disgusting sexual act happended on September, 5 on the central square of the city of Ekaterinburgh (Russia).

Two obviously drunken guys standing just right in the center of the square started kissing and hugging each other.

The crowd of pedestrians formed a circle around them and started taking shot from their video phones. There were about 70 ‘spectators’ of such a disgusting show. Nobody tried to stop it or call for police.

When one of those guys started doing an act of fellatio, the crowd responded with applauding. There were girls and couples among those who were watching the scene. When the gays ‘finished’ their ‘show’ they walked away. Police never showed up. A screenshot of the scene is shown below



O tempora, o mores!
