A climax of Russian lie on Chechnya is scheduled for 23 March.
This is the opinion of the Chechen and foreign, as well as Russian human
rights groups. According to the representatives of Nazran office of Human
Rights center "Memorial" (mainly of the Chechens), as well as their Russian
colleagues, the farce in Chechnya scheduled for the second half of March
is nothing more but a general fraud of the population of the Chechen Republic
Ichkeria, Russian society and so-called "civilized world community", since,
as it is pointed out by our interlocutors, all
everyone in Chechnya, many citizens of Russia, and majority of politicians
in the West are well aware that under the existing circumstances in Chechnya
one cannot speak of "people's will". Why? Because there is no uprightness,
and the "elections", as a matter of fact, are elections without choice, voting
under the threat of arms and "polling the votes" by means of deception.
However, I have forgotten to explain what is intended to happen in Chechnya
on 23 March. I am sorry to say that it is "Referendum on the Project of Constitution
of the Chechen Republic" and draft laws "On Presidential Elections in the
Chechen Republic" and "On Elections to the Parliament of the Chechen
Republic". There are too many brackets, aren't there? It's something at least
that not checkpoints, Chechnya is so rich of today…
And there is something funny and, at the same time, sad. As it has been officially
stated, this decision was made on Friday by the "election commission of the
Chechen Republic", "having declared valid the signatures collected in Chechnya
by the initiative group of the referendum campaign". It is clear that the
decision of the "election
commission of the Chechen Republic" is a proposal to the Kremlin previously
formulated by the Kremlin. But nobody knows whether the Kremlin agrees to
carry out the referendum on 23 March. Maybe, 23 February would be more reasonable?!
