Russia Blasts Latvia over World War II War Crime Case
MOSCOW, Jul 11, 2000 -- (Reuters) Russia criticized Latvia on Monday for imposing a prison sentence on an 87-year-old Russian World War Two veteran on charges of crimes against humanity.
In a statement, the Russian foreign ministry accused Riga of masterminding a campaign of retribution against war veterans.
The statement signaled President Vladimir Putin's intention not to soften Moscow's fierce criticism of the tiny Baltic state, which Russia has long accused of mistreating its large ethnic-Russian minority.
Last week a regional court in the Latvian town of Liepaja sentenced a former Soviet KGB official, Yevgeny Savenko, to two years in prison for his role in persecuting several dozen people during World War Two, nine of whom were sentenced to death.
"We consider the approach adopted in the case of this elderly invalid to be blatantly inhuman," the ministry said. "For Savenko, the sentence is tantamount to capital punishment."
Russia has expressed outrage over a recent series of trials in Latvia of elderly ex-Soviet security officials accused of crimes committed during the war years. Former President Boris Yeltsin turned down a medal offered by Latvia's government earlier this year as a sign of Russia's anger.
The Russian statement accused the Latvian government of exercising undue influence over the trial proceedings.
"The (Savenko) trial was clearly commandeered by those circles which, through a series of such sentences, through moral persecution of anti-Nazi resistance veterans, seek retribution for the past," the ministry said.
"The position of senior Latvian officials who contributed to creating an atmosphere of intolerance around war veterans has also played a role in giving the trial accusatory undertones."
On Monday Moscow also unveiled a new foreign policy outline which describes protection of ethnic Russians in former Soviet states as a top priority.
STOP YOUR LONG BORING POSTS, IGOR
CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE ORDER?
YOU RUSSIANS ARE DUMBER THAN ANY PALESTINIAN I MET IN ISRAEL
IGOR
Granted the days of conventional warfare have gone out like the style of clothing worn by that "STINKY/KINKY BARNYARD ROMPER."
But the point that I'm driving home is that, whom ever is responsible for these atrocities, must be condemed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of Russian law. Some may say why Russian law and not an international tribunal? Quite simply, this is a grave matter of Russian internal affairs and therefore, should be treated as such. Granted there has, historically, been conflict within this area and granted there never has been any love lost between these 2 warring factors and there probably never will be. Therefore, the international community should but out and let the cards fall where they may. To the victors of this impossible conflict, if there could possibly be one, will inheirit the spoils along with the right to prosecute any and all criminals of war as they must.
IGOR...HOW'S ABOUT SHARING THAT PICTURE OF TAMMY WITH US...WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT..
STINKY BARNSCHWEIN:
DOES TAMMY MOOO OR OINK OR HEE HAWW IN YIDDISH?
Igor deserves an International man of mystery title. As a sort of crude nationalist, he apparently looked like an easy target to Jake and as a most likely person to return an antisemitic crap in response to pseudo-jewish insults. It's so amusing to watch Jake running in circles like a squirrel. Igor, when you are planning to throw an annual celebration party?
BARNSCHWEIN:
What's this, you'll report me to my husband. I'm trembeling... with laughter that is. HA HA HA, OH! But that's one of your better ones. Really now, surely you jest...what would he do? Slap me around like an inferior, insecure, mentally challenged, homosexual dweeb such as yourself would "TRY" to do.
pssss DORKO, there are more than a few men out there who would love to be named MR. HAIRY MARY.
Mask I will throw a party when Basayev and Khatab are either killed or captured and hung by their beards.I think that day is coming soon.PS BARNSWEIN why does Israel get 5 billion in aid from US,care to comment you MORON.Did you use some of that Preparation H on your face?
Could you make a rehearsal party earlier?
