  • Recognition of a Person As a Political Prisoner, Or As a Victim of A

    Recognition of a Person As a Political Prisoner, Or As a Victim of A

    Memorial considers Tver resident Andrei Bubeev a political prisoner Andrei Bubeev is being held on remand in a pre-trial detention centre on charges of crimes under Article 280 Part 2 (public calls to extremist actions using the Internet) and Article 280.1 Part 2 (public calls to actions intended to violate the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation using the Internet) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The basis for the prosecution has been the reposting of two statements sharply negative in relation to Russian policy: an article ‘Crimea is Ukraine!’, signed by Boris Stomakhin, and a drawing of a hand squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, with the words: ‘Squeeze Russia out of yourself.’ The article ‘Crimea is Ukraine!’ says that the return of Crimea to Ukraine should be a unifying idea for Russians who have anti-imperial views. At the same time, the author states that the return of Crimea to Ukraine is only possible if the Russian Federation is dissolved, and considers the collapse of Russia to be inevitable. The repost of the drawing with toothpaste is accompanied by a text from an online page ‘Ukrainian Attack’ [‘Украинский наступ’], criticizing the Russian opposition for a lack of decisiveness and indicating that the only appropriate protest slogan would be ‘Russia should not exist.’ We consider the tone of these texts excessively insulting and aggressive. However, in our view this is insufficient reason for a prosecution: the texts do not contain plans for military operations, direct calls to violence, concrete proposals for destroying Russian statehood, and so on.

  • The Message – Supplement

    The Message – Supplement

    THE MESSAGE – SUPPLEMENT Dear Friend, Some new information must be shared with you with intention to help you survive the cataclysm and aid the Plan. Because some things, which shouldn’t happened, happened in the recent past, respectively, because most things didn’t happened in accordance with the Plan, some new indications were given about what would happen in the future if the current line of events is going to continue. Indications are that: • World Economy Crisis is going to further develop during this year – 2008. This means that money will be worth less and less, until it won’t have any value anymore. Because of this, it is advisable to use money wisely, for instance, for gathering food, clothes and other stuff, which will be useful to you during the cataclysm. Therefore, it is advisable to use money wisely while it is still worth something. • WWIII will start in August 2009. Those living in Europe and Middle East should get appropriately prepared for it. In all countries, which will get involved, there will be general enrolment. Do not get drafted, as this one is not worth fighting! Do not do yourself any further unnecessary karmic damage! • In the time period from 2010 to 2014, the sea level is going to rise to somewhere from 400 to 500 meters (1 meter = 3,3 feet) above the current sea level. So, if you are going to try to survive the cataclysm, you should find yourself location somewhere above 500 meters above the current sea level. • Pole shift is going to happen during the “Electrical Storm”, from December 21 st to 24 th , 2012.

The lie sooner or later evaporates and the truth remains.”1 (Boris El’tsin, Midnight Diaries, 2000) This paper was originally presented at an October 2004 seminar held at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Johns Hopkins University, Washington DC. The seminar was hosted by Professor Bruce Parrott, at the time Director of Russian and Eurasian Studies at SAIS. The essay was subsequently revised to take into consideration comments made by the seminar’s two discussants, Professor Peter Reddaway of George Washington University and Donald N. Jensen, Director of Communications at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Washington (and currently Senior Fellow, Center for Transatlantic Relations, Voice of America). In March of 2005, the paper was posted on the SAIS web-site (sais-jhu.edu). Eventually the paper was retired from the jhu.edu web-site.2 By the current year, 2011, it had become clear that an updated and revised version of the paper was needed, one which would take into consideration significant new information which has come to light since 2005.

  • I Was Born 1954, Next Year After Tyrant's Death

    I Was Born 1954, Next Year After Tyrant's Death

    Hall 1. CASE A I was born in 1954, next year after tyrant’s death. Government’s bulletins about dying Stalin having “Chain- Stocks” breathing gave the hope to my parent’s generation that they will breathe more freely. Yet “Archipelago GULAG” did not vanish completely. Three of our family got first hand experience in 70’s-80’s of what it is to be a prisoner of conscience. First my father, then my wife and I. Then the wall was broken, communist party and Soviet Union ceased to exist, criminal code was changed and article 70 we were charged by removed, special political labor camps were closed and former prisoners rehabilitated. Once again there was a hope that GULAG is dead. Once again this hope has been proven to be wrong. There are political prisoners in Putin’s Russia. These are people imprisoned because of government’s political reasons. The country, its rulers and prisoners, the life itself is very different, but prison does not change much. In 1992 I had a rare opportunity to tour Russian prisons and labor camps - this time as a photographer, not as prisoner. Most of the pictures on this exhibit are from that trip. These pictures and artifacts would allow you to glance at one island of the archipelago so to speak. Overhung: Door into solitary confinement cell. My wife spent many days behind it. Books GULAG HISTORY BY APPLEBAUM, MY TESTIMONY BY A.MARCHENKO Books and dissemination of information and opinions in general were by far the most common reasons for political imprisonment during 60’s – 80’s.
