  • The Hundred Russian Whistleblowers the Subject Referring to Protection Of
    Report of the International Human Rights Group Agora The hundred Russian whistleblowers The subject referring to protection of individuals who reveal information about violations to the public gets more and more topical not only in Russia, where the whistleblowers are regularly subjected to retaliation, including murders, violence, prosecution and imposing of disciplinary measures, but also in the rest of the world. The questions relevant to protection of whistleblowers have become subject to discussions in the UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, OECD, the bodies of the European Union and the G20. Up to date the national legislations of more than 60 countries envisage various measures aimed at guaranteeing of security and protection from retaliation of individuals who objectively act in favor of society by revealing of inaccessible information. The review of the subject relevant to protection of whistleblowers shall include the existing materials in the field. Mainly the Project on basic principles of laws on reporting of facts about corruption and illegal activities1 realized by Transparency International and the report of experts of this organization published in 2012 on ‘Corruption Reporting and Whistleblower Protection’2 describing in details the existing international and foreign approaches that may be used at elaboration of mechanisms for protection of individuals who report violations of greater size. The assurance of access to information is one of the problems closely related to the protection of whistleblowers. According to a report of Team 29 ‘The right to know’ the practice in Russia when it comes to assurance of access to information is not always in conformity to the international requirements and often contradicts to these requirements3.

US Coast Guard Considering Arctic ‘FONOPS’ to Counter Russian Presence at North Pole by Morgan Artvukhina The US needs to expand its operations in the Arctic to counter Russia’s presence there, the head of the US Coast Guard said on Monday. That could include “freedom of navigation operations” (FONOPS) like the US uses to challenge maritime claims of other nations of which it does not approve. “Presence equals influence in the Arctic. And right now ... we're woefully lacking as a nation in terms of our capacity,” US Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz toldthe conservative think tank the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. The region is home to considerable natural resources, including an estimated $1 trillion worth of minerals, one-third of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG), and rich fishing grounds - much of which has remained untapped due to the harsh climate, permafrost and sea ice. It also holds great travel potential as an alternative to the Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope. As climate change increases the region’s average temperatures and sends the ice into retreat, global powers are looking to the Arctic as the next place to make their claims - or head off the claims of others. "What we're concerned about is how [Russia] conducts in this space - the same concerns we have about rules-based international order and adherence, modern maritime governance,” Schultz told the think tank, which exerts major influence on US policy-making.

    DIGITAL MEDIA AS A TOOL FOR NON- SYSTEMIC OPPOSITION IN RUSSIA: A CASE STUDY OF ALEXEY NAVALNY’S POPULIST COMMUNICATIONS ON YOUTUBE Sofya Glazunova Bachelor, Master Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Communication Creative Industry Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2020 Keywords Content analysis; digital activism; investigative journalism; Alexey Navalny; network society; political communication; political performance; populism; press freedom; Vladimir Putin; Russian opposition; Russian politics; Russian media; truth; visual aesthetics; YouTube. Digital Media as a Tool for Non-Systemic Opposition in Russia: A Case Study of Alexey Navalny’s Populist Communications on YouTube i Abstract This Doctor of Philosophy project explores how Russia’s opposition figurehead Alexey Navalny uses YouTube’s affordances to communicate populist discourses that establish him as a successful leader and combatant of the elite of long-running leader Vladimir Putin. The project draws on theories of populism, investigative journalism, and digital media. Text transcripts and screenshots of Navalny’s YouTube videos during his electoral campaign for the 2018 presidential election are studied through mixed-method content analysis. Political communication in the 21st century is characterised in many countries by a decline in trust in conventional news media, the emergence of new political communication actors such as social media platforms and the rise of populist content. The constant search for new journalistic practices that take advantage of the affordances of new and alternative media has led many political activists to create new communication projects that seek to challenge and expose political elites by playing a watchdog role in society.

  • RUSSIA ELECTION ALERT #8 Duma Elections 2021
    Berlin, 25 February 2021 RUSSIA ELECTION ALERT #8 Duma elections 2021 While the State Duma elections are still some time off, early indications are that the authorities will take unprecedented efforts to keep the non-systemic opposition out of the State Duma and to undermine independent election observation. Associates to prosecuted Alexei Navalny are being subjected to intense attacks already, and Navalny’s Smart Voting campaign will be all but impossible to conduct due to the likely labelling of participating opposition candidates as affiliates to a ‘foreign agent’. This branding could have tangible consequences, such as Roskomnadzor blocking candidates’ websites for ‘unlawful campaigning’. This label is also likely to be used to undermine independent domestic election observers. More on developments ahead of the Duma elections in our newest Russia alert here. Voter during Russia's Single Voting Day 2020. Source: ft.com / © AP) Russia’s next State Duma elections are scheduled to be held in September. A number of recent developments offer a glimpse of how they may be conducted. The prosecution of Alexei Navalny upon his return to Russia in January as well as the mass arrests during protests in his support mark a new level of repression and disregard for the rule of law. Especially the manner in which the trial against Navalny was organized suggests that the authorities are less concerned than before about giving its treatment of the political opposition an air of legality. In these conditions, the authorities may show little hesitation in denying, without valid reason, registration of opposition politicians who intend to contest the upcoming election.
