Yeltsin did not order his troops into Chechnya to save the Russian Federation. He moved against Chechnya to save his presidency.

The deaf and blind people of the earth

For years, the West has denounced the Kremlin as an oppressor and demanded freedom for all of the republics in what was the Soviet Union. Yet when Russian bombers pounded Grozny, the capital of the breakaway republic of Chechnya , Western governments either stayed silent or stated that it was an internal Russian problem, and that president Boris Yeltsin had no choice but to suppress the secessionists by military means. Western leaders backed Yeltsin's war against the Chechens out of concern for their own futures. Looking at the Russian crisis, they see a deeply unpopular government, public disaffection from the institutions of the state, and a fragmenting central authority. In their eyes, it must all seem frighteningly like a more dramatic version of the situation at home. Chechnya is the insecure Western elites' worst nightmare, because it provides a glimpse of what they fear might happen to them in the future.

O people of little faith Why you comittig crime against humanity. Fear your Loard and get ready for Hell fire, where your bones will be fuel for hell.

Crime without punishment - Russia in the Caucasus

By Eric Margolis
Date: Dec, 22, 1995

One of the worst crimes of our time continues in the Caucasus mountains - while the world turns its eyes away.

While China is rightly condemned worldwide for its brutal repression of Tibet, and jailing of dissidents, Russia's savagery in Chechenya is utterly ignored.

A year ago this month, the Russian Army invaded the tiny mountain republic to crush the attempt by the 1.2 million, mainly Muslim, Chechens to regain their independence after a century and a half of savage Russian colonial rule.

At the time, Russian Defense Pavel Grachev boasted he would "liquidate" the uprising in a few days. What could a few thousand irregular Chechen fighters do against 50,000 Russian troops, backed by armor, artillery, helicopter gunships and aircraft? Hadn't the rebellious Caucasian mountaineers learned their lesson when Stalin deported 80% of all Chechens to Siberian concentration camps in 1944?

Evidently not. Showing all their legendary courage, ferocity, and tenacity, lightly armed Chechen fighters stopped the Russian Army, troops of the Interior Ministry, and KGB units, in their tracks. Proclaiming a Jihad, or holy war, the Chechen mujihadin defeated Russian tanks and armored fighting vehicles in the streets of the capitol, Grozny, with only Molotov cocktails and hand-held RPG anti- tank rockets.

While the western world celebrated Christmas,1994, Russian forces used heavy artillery, massed rocket batteries, and carpet bombing, to grind Grozny and any Chechen village that resisted, to rubble. Over the past year, at least 45,000 Chechens, mainly civilians, have been killed by the Russians. Moscow admits to losing 2,300 soldiers; the true figure is likely above 6,000. Human rights groups accuse the Russians of widespread torture, mass executions, reprisals, and collective punishment in Chechnya.

This week, Chechen mujihadin launched fierce attacks on their Russian occupiers aimed at disrupted phony elections staged by Moscow to install a Chechen puppet communist regime, led by Quisling named Zavgayev. Chechen still strongly support their elected president, Gen. Dzhokar Dudayev, who leads the national resistance from the nation's wild southern mountains.

Dudayev ousted the communist regime in 1991 in a freeÔ the decomposing Soviet Union. Though other republics, like Ukraine, Uzbekistan or Lithuania, successfully quit the USSR, not a single nation recognized free Chechenya. It was too remote, too unimportant.

Russia was determined to hold on to Chechnya: it controls important oil pipeline running from Azerbaijan. Freedom for Chechenya could break Moscow's hold on the entire strategic Caucasus region. The KGB tried three times to assassinate Gen. Dudayev. When these attempts failed, KGB mounted a covert invasion of Chechenya in summer, 1994, using regular Russian troops masquerading as Chechen. The Russians were humiliatingly routed. Yeltsin's `Bay of Pigs' cost US $650 million - some of it supplied by western aid donors. Six months later, Moscow openly invaded Chechenya.

Chechens are used to Russian invasions. Tsarist Russia first began conquering the Muslim emirates of the Caucasus in the 1830's. The great Chechen leader, Imam Shamil, lead a magnificent, 29-year resistance to Russia's armies. The Chechen were finally overwhelmed by Russian numbers. But they rebelled anew in 1863, during the Polish revolt. In 1877, after which Russia slaughtered 60% of the total population. In 1917, and in 1920.

No people anywhere on earth fought so long or hard against tyranny and colonialism as the Chechen - and none has suffered so much. Stalin attempted genocide by sending almost the entire Chechen nation to the Gulag, including the parents of the current leader, Dzhokar Dudayev, and those of the renowned mujihadin commander, Shamil Basaev, a true "saif ul-Islam" (sword of Islam). A few Chechen survived.

Their offspring, the children of the concentration camps, are now fighting Russian rule.

Bloody battles raged in Chechenya all this week. Chechen mujihadin seized two major cities and held them against the full might of massed Russian firepower. Moscow poured more troops, tanks, guns and aircraft into Chechnya - so far, to no avail. But how long can a few mountaineers, no matter how valiant and fearless, fight mighty Russia, with 149 million people and the world's second largest ground forces?

The world turns its back on Chechenya. President Clinton gave Moscow a free hand in Chechenya, in exchange for Russian acquiescing to the farcical American invasion of Haiti. No one wants to anger Moscow by supporting tiny Chechenya. Not even Islamic nations, who have totally ignored the Jihad in Chechnya. The nearby Turks and Iranians are so frightened by Moscow they dare not supply the Chechen even a few bullets. The Chechen's sole source of arms and supplies are those captured from Russian forces.Ô "independent" Georgia and Azerbaijan, to cut off any potential supplies for the mujihadin. Anti-insurgent techniques perfected in Afghanistan, where the Soviets slaughtered 1.5 million people, are being used again in Chechnya.

What can the world do? Cut off all financial and technical aid to Moscow. Boycott Russian exports of oil, vodka, and raw materials. Arm the Chechens. Keep denouncing Russian atrocities until Moscow is compelled by world outrage to leave Chechnya -just as it was finally forced to quit Afghanistan.

In Chechnya, "democratic" Boris Yeltsin and his generals are committing crimes worthy of Josef Stalin. The world's silence is shameful and sickening.

U.S. Must Do More for Chechnya
By Diane Roazen

Now that President Boris Yeltsin is in, it's business as usual in Russia. Facing serious international trade and military issues with the Russia, the United States must figure out how Moscow intends to "do business" in and outside of its borders. The most disturbing indicator of how Russia will deal with its international and domestic affairs may be right in front of our closed eyes. Russia's dirty war in Chechnya continues, while Moscow tries to hide the atrocities there from the world.

Actions often speak louder than words, and nowhere is this more true than in Russia's handling of Chechnya. Yeltsin made an election promise to end the war, signed an armistice on June 10 and then openly supported its violation three days later. Last week he gave full support to renewed bombing offensives, that killed dozens of civilians, including children, and wiped out villages. To many, these false promises and betrayals demonstrate either that Yeltsin is not in control or that he is playing a dangerous game that makes a mockery of his commitment to democracy and human rights.

The Clinton administration's recent condemnation of the continued Russian assaults in Chechnya may be too little and too late. Washington's response has surely not been commensurate with the human tragedy of ethnic cleansing. The credibility of the Yeltsin administration and all who supported him, including the United States, is at stake.

Consider a few of the many facts which have been documented by human rights organizations:

. At least 30,000 civilians, and probably a great deal more, a third of whom are children, have perished in 19 months of war.

. 500,000 are homeless and 230,000 have fled from a population of 1.3 million.

. Thousands are missing. Written testimonies of survivors of Russian "detention" centers reveal horrors beyond imagination.

. Thousands of young children suffer severe wounds, including missing eyes and limbs.

. Entire villages, cities, cultural centers and historical landmarks have been destroyed.

. Russian troops have denied humanitarian assistance and carried out summary executions, rape and torture of civilians.

The Russian leadership has shown that it is continuing a centuries-old policy of coveting Chechnya's natural resources and strategic location.

IMF loans, summits and elections draw near. But when the international heat is turned up on atrocities in Chechnya, as it is now, the Kremlin does its best to convince the world that the Chechens are "terrorists" who do not want peace.

Yet the Chechens do want peace and democracy. They also want freedom but feel that a mutually beneficial agreement with Russia is feasible. The late Chechen president, Dzhokhar Dudayev, who was killed in a missile attack in April, consistently kept the doors open to all peace initiatives, calling for international guarantees and mediation while practicing restraint despite betrayal and atrocities by the Russian military and government. The Chechens have also felt betrayed by the West, especially in the United States.

In effect, the United States not only gave permission for the war to begin and continue but also funded a large portion of the war, perhaps unknowingly. Some if not all, of last years $6 billion IMF loan when to the costly war in Chechnya rather than to economic reforms. The American taxpayer paid for nearly 20 percent of this loan. How much of the new $10 billion IMF loan will go to Chechnya?

Meanwhile, President Clinton has consistently asserted that Chechnya was an internal matter. Clinton essentially gave Yeltsin carte blanche to do as he pleased, an agreement made when America was about to intervene in Haiti. But is the funding of a war by the American taxpayer and the gross violation of human rights an internal issue?

Washington labors for peace in one country while allowing war in another. The United States and Russia pledge to fight terrorism while Russia practices it in Chechnya. The United States prides itself on being a leader in human rights and demands that countries respect these rights. But the United States often bends the rules for Russia.

Now that Yeltsin has won the election, the U.S. government has a moral and legal obligation to propose talks in a neutral country. The United States should tie all new loans to these guarantees to insure implementation, assist in cease-fire and troop withdrawal and promote free elections in Chechnya. The United States must insist on unrestricted access to Chechnya for humanitarian aid. Congress should investigate Russia's accountability for U.S. funds, human rights violations and Russia's use of weapons of mass destruction. An international task force should investigate allegations of crimes against humanity by both sides.

U.S. inaction undermines international law and the credibility of the American government. It makes a mockery of its commitment to human rights. Our silence has been costly, embarrassing and dangerous. How Russia really intends to "do business" and how it intends to handle its international and domestic affairs is evidence in how it has handled the dirty war in Chechnya.

And just imagine, I found this in a WESTERN newspaper. And according to Igor, we get all our news from CNN. Care to explain dude?

Bones -

Notice who wrote that article. The only American who came close to defending Russia was (Mexican?)-American from antiwar.com (if you want url, I can find it for you). However, I do give Boston Globe credit for printing it.

Abdulla -

You are pathetic. You know that terrorists' days are numbered so you post all sort of unrelated spam here. Newsflash for you, we read all those articles, weeks before when they were first printed in newspapars.

HOW ABOUT THIS NEW MUSLIM DEVICE?
21st CENTURY BRINGS MUSLIMS TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF CIVILIZATION...

Chechnya's children

By Peter Heinlein

Intro:   Russia's breakaway region of Chechnya is slowly recovering after 21-months of war. The defeated russian forces have pulled out, and children are again playing in the streets. But as voa's Peter Heinlein discovered in the Chechen capital Grozny, the youngest of Chechnya's fighters are being haunted by images of war as they try to become children again.

At first glance, Ela Latayev seems like an ordinary 14-year old boy. His thin frame and baby face make him look even younger than he is. When visitors arrive at the happy family orphanage in Grozny, Ela and 15 other children are crowded around a television set, laughing as they watch an american comedy video.

But Ela is no ordinary 14-year old. He is a combat-hardened veteran of Chechnya's civil war. When asked about his role in the fighting, his eyes narrow, his voice seems to change. He tells of his work in a reconnaissance unit behind enemy lines.

I was scared. All the time i thought "I'M GOING TO DIE". It was frightening. I saw corpses. I saw dogs eat russian corpses.

Ela says he lived on the streets after a russian rocket destroyed his home and badly injured his parents early in the war. He says he still has nightmares of the horrors he witnessed.

I saw a man blown to pieces, i saw people die, i had to drag bodies away. People running around in their underwear because a bomb had hit their house. And i thought, this is going to happen to my family, too.

The founder and director of the "HAPPY FAMILY HOME," 30-year old Khadizhat Gatayeva, served as a field nurse for the rebels during the final days of the war. An orphan herself, she decided to devote her life to children after seeing several youngsters lying dead in the street.

She opened the "HAPPY FAMILY HOME" four months ago in two abandoned apartments. She has taken in more than 30 war orphans, all of whom call her "MAMA."

But she says the job has proved more difficult than she imagined, partly because the children have such deep emotional scars.

Those kids, you can imagine, after two or three years in the war, these kids are angry. Hostile. Not just at the russian troops who bombed and killed them, but at the entire russian nation. Their psychology is not normal.

Ms. Gatayeva says the children are obsessed with war. She displays pictures they have drawn of russian helicopters shooting into burning buildings while gunmen carrying Chechen flags fire back from the ground.

When the home recently received a donation of some modeling clay, the children immediately shaped it into replicas of hand grenades, complete with tiny detonator pins.

Any of these kids can break down and reassemble any weapon, do whatever he wants with it. These kids, they're unbelievable.

A psychologist who has volunteered to work with the children calls them a lost generation. She says the war has done permanent psychological damage.

Mr. Gatayeva is more hopeful. she reaches into a drawer and pulls out a letter written by 14-year old Ela Latayev. He has drawn a picture of a wolf, the symbol of the chechen fighters. Underneath are the words, "MAMA, YOU ARE OUR MOTHER WOLF, AND WE ARE YOUR CUBS."

He has drawn a picture of a wolf, the symbol of the chechen fighters. Underneath are the words, "MAMA, YOU ARE OUR MOTHER WOLF, AND WE ARE YOUR CUBS."
