It is about the murder of the journalist and the lawyer
After PG repeatedly called report was also about It is about the murder of the journalist and the lawyer So here is the report of the newspaper for which Anastasia Baburova worked.
Почему убили Станислава Маркелова
Death for the use of their own rights has become the norm
In other words, we do not know why, was killed by Stanislav Markelov. It is possible that we do not know a very long time - or learn something, what would be long in doubt. However, in this situation is particularly disturbing is not even the motives or the unknown. Sadly, but the fact is: this anxiety dulled, the society seemed resigned to the fact that "for it may kill." For example, we, our elected representatives and public figures are used assume that the machinations of the low place of Russia in international rankings of press freedom or freedom of speech, but the murder of a journalist for some reason does not shock us, does not make an impression on us out of the way events. Is not it so? Events "out of the ordinary," we acknowledge. Someone with bitterness, some with indignation, who is cold - But can state.

If we believe the recently published official statistics, in the Moscow daily killed at least two people. However, not every day among Two of those killed is a prominent lawyer and human rights activist. Not every day, and among them is a young journalist who actually killed during the work. Not every day the killer shoots his victims in the daytime, in the center of a big city, in front of witnesses - and in this case disappears by anyone not identified, not caught, not punished.
It is obvious that the killing of Markelov - ordered that it was related to his professional activities. Which is its segment, with some business - on that score sound different versions. Someone, for example, indicates "the Budanov. Someone, on the contrary, rejects this version as "ridiculous". "It Budanov" can not be called an obvious reason, it is more relevant information context in which the last Time featured the name of a lawyer Markelov.
We do not know why, was killed by Stanislav Markelov, but we know how he was killed. And "as" disturbing, no less than "why." And it "Fresh" anxiety, no blunting.
We watch movies, read newspapers and criminal chronicles in newspapers and as a consequence, we operate a certain stereotype of custom murder. What happened on January 19 Prechistenka destroys that stereotype. Likewise, destroying it and killing of Ruslan Yamadayev in September last year. Now - the unknown goes out and shoots. Then - the unknown is coming to a red light stopped the car and shoots. In both cases - the day not late in the evening, not night. In both cases - the center of Moscow, not some backwoods solitude and not accesible and not flat. In both cases - the witnesses, both cases - an outrageous and frightening arrogance.
Insolence crime scare is not the fact that by itself it is something "desecrated" abnormal, dirty, unpleasant. It scares the fact that obviously shows the mindset of the perpetrator (in this case - the customer of the crime). This state of mind, a sense of impunity does not arise out of the blue, it does not depend on the legs with which the offender got out of bed today, well if he had eaten, it does not hurt if his head, no worries whether heartburn. It does not occur in a social vacuum - rather, it reflects all at once: the law enforcement agencies, and hypocrisy and civic apathy, and fear. This as the foam on the brew, which we cook ourselves. What does all this mean? A means is that none of us (regardless of from an activity) does not feel safe. This situation is unlikely to change, putting in every corner of the policeman, the Orthodox team, hung around the chamber. The Prosecutor Chaika, taking another investigation of the case under his personal control, is also unlikely that will change. We ourselves have created their state with its practices - effective or not, and should not expect any changes until we perceive our guaranteed rights and freedoms as dangerous and sometimes unnecessary privileges that can be ignored and for which you must pay an enormous price. Murder Markelov and Anastasia Baburova as it is scary, fits into the image of the world who we are, consciously or unconsciously, have built.
Typing this text, I looked at some polls the past years. In one, the Russians offered to choose the "freedom" or "safety". Where such a choice is possible, even at the level of вопрошания, мало что может шокировать.
Political Global says:
If Независимая Газета (for the "Independent Gazette had Anastasia Baburova and Anna Politkovskaya wrote - daily newspaper with a circulation of about 70,000) of 2 murders per day in an area of Moscow with 20 million people speak, it would be in a country with 60 or more than 100 years of political and social stability of many frightening - in a country like Switzerland even unthinkable - but Switzerland is the country's only 6 million inhabitants. Russia, however, is a country that was created under Yeltsin and highly criminal mafia structures - and there could only be created gradually restored order by President Putin. Under Yeltsin, the entire state apparatus and the nouveau riche mafia economy was highly criminal.
now accuse Russia - from Merkel'sches of stupid arrogance out - as in the EU summit in Samara - when it attacked Putin for lack of democracy and freedom in Russia - and Putin countered and the "FRG" and Merkel accused police-state methods in the "FRG" to have created but NO democracy (but I think you did it on German TV not noticed - it was in full only in the Russian television). In any case, I consider myself liberal and democratic Russia and safer than Germany. Safe? I am not an oligarch - the one who would attack me because of money, certainly would break into tears and put me into money. Democratic? I answer with Putin's counter-question: is it the "FRG" democratic? Important is only that the government does something for the country and people - and not like the Merkel AGAINST country and people. Liberal? Absolutely YES! Russia's liberal - but that everyone should learn with a trip to Russia itself. And last but not least, freedom of the press - in Russia there is free press and FREE TV - in contrast to the "UC"!
And now to the murder case: Baburova / Markelov. Mafia-like structures exist despite 8 years of Putin-era and one year Medvedev still, because these structures had been established in all areas of Russia, where the military is a lot hermetic power structure, which is so far tolerated still - just because an intrusion into this structures is nearly impossible. At the time of the Soviet Union, the power of the military on grounds of their indispensability to the survival of the state. And in that time had formed cliques, which - because based on human relations - continued. The officer in Chechnya, a little girl had passed and then killed, was convicted and sent to camps. The audit opinion (based on clientelism) and his early release from prison led to the investigations of human rights activist and journalist Markelov Baburova. I am convinced that such insider relationships continue to be thinned out - no one will never be able to avoid it. For all men are equal - only some are more "equal" - even if one thinks of the former Deutsche Post CEO in Germany with his tax of 1 million € for which he has just NOT in jail.
Russia is supposed Enemies of the state to target - Nezavisimaya Gazeta
17:29
. Proceed In writing the daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta on Wednesday.
These forces have expanded their activities prior to the forthcoming municipal elections and might be a real danger to the public interest, Major-General Wladyslaw Piotrowski said during an enlarged meeting of the Quorum of the Central Interior of the City of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region. The governor of Sankt-Petersburg, Valentina Matvienko, and the President of Agent Northwest Federal District Ilya Klebanov, were present and listened attentively. Political scientist Dmitry Perewjaskin stresses that these statements of the very general fit well into the concept of opposition against the Russian rulers. "I fear that the power in Russia is committing a mistake, because a violent suppression of protest in society will inevitably lead to more protests and the consolidation of opposition forces," he said.
sat by his assessment of the state in the dialogue with the opposition to violence. Operating under the influence of the state television report not available randomly and more often about how the police in foreign countries fought with violence protests. This is similar actions by the Russian police could "international experience" to justify, says Perewjaskin.
"The opposition in Russia is constantly accused of working to use financial aid from the West," says Alexei Makarkin, Deputy General Director of the Center for Political Technologies in Moscow. The crisis, however, have meant that the enemies are made from foreign countries responsible for more or less serious protests, because it was much easier to abandon the dialogue with the opposition and say, here the hand of the West was in the game so Makarkin.
Alexander Konovalov, president of the Institute of strategic assessments, is also of the opinion that those in power in Russia as simple as possible explanations for many problems in the country need. "Asks the people why it is in Russia is not possible to survive with a normal retirement pension. This question can either receive a very detailed, or what would be much easier could answer: What pension because that NATO is on the outskirts of Smolensk.
What we are seeing now is not just an attempt to shirk responsibility, but also the quest to shift everything to the specific external enemy, "said Konovalov.
It's nice to Nezavisimaya Gazeta asking questions on important issues. But Russia, a social system had inherited from the Soviet Union, in which the state had to do everything, and the citizens do not need to participate. Also, the change can not happen overnight. Nezavisimaya Gazeta faces west and asks, "why is not with us in Russia as well?" - And forgets the consideration of the historical perspective. Only the government Medvedev / Putin must all be considered and can set itself not a unilateral approach.
