Ukraine Defragmented: Sevastopol is Fighting Against the Coup

Historical Background: Sevastopol,  having the status of the Russian Hero City (The Crimean War, The II World War)

In February 1954, Khrushchev transferred the Crimean Oblast to Ukraine, with Sevastopol retaining a special status as a Russian naval base - so with the transfer Sevastopol remained under Russia's protectorate. Over the past twenty years, in independent Ukraine, the city still retained its special status. Nevertheless, the new authorities in Kiev (better say, the "junta") who performed the February 2014 coup lead by Stefan Bandera ideas, are planning to include Sevastopol into the Ukrainian territory.

The people of Sevastopol started fighting against the Ukrainian Coup, they do not recognize the Kiev junta, and create their own city authorities and self-defense committee.  In this way, Sevastopol recognized that its heroic traditions still live in people's memory.

A people's meeting in Sevastopol against the Ukrainian Coup

(Translator note: “Bandera Followers” used in the article is referred to the ultra radical far right organizations and parties, that currently constitute the muscle of “Maidan”. Stephan Bandera was the notorious head of UPA – a military arm of Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which collaborated closely with Nazis during the WWII and continued fighting against the USSR until mid-fiftie). During that time UPA participated in numerous acts of genocide against Jewish, Polish , Russian and even Ukrainian population). Currently in the most countries of the post USSR - “bandera followers” is equal to “fascist” much like “hitleryte”=”nazi”.)

Today, I attended the “anti-Bandera” meeting in Sevastopol. Never expected it could be so great. Initially I estimated that there were around 5-10 thousand people present, but later count showed that the meeting was attended by 20-25 thousand. And this in the city where the average political gathering has never been larger than a few dozen (or sometimes a few hundred) people. Today, Sevastopol truly rose and showed the largest “anti-Bandera” meeting in its own post-Soviet history, but the largest one on the whole South-East of Ukraine.

The threat of fascism united us all. The meeting was supported by almost all city’s political organizations, some of which had completely opposite different views on other issues. There were flags of Russia, Russian Empire, Communist Party, “Russian Block” and of other patriotic organizations. There were also portraits of Stalin, Victory flags and flags of Soviet Navy. Bandera’s followers (fascists) managed to distract various people with different political beliefs from their usual bickering, and separate them from their comfortable couches, and to come out and voice their opinion in the streets. Hopefully it will be heard in Kiev. Those Bandera followers were awfully proud that they managed to collect 20 thousand on Maidan in a multimillion Kiev and claimed that they represented the will of the whole country. Sevastopol has now shown how many people can really be gathered in a relatively small city, if the final goal was clear and people were ready to fight for it.

Sup Marcos invita a Pussy Riot a visitar "la escuelita zapatista"

Que pensamos nosotros rusos sobre este acto de estupidez de la partte de un destacado izquierdista mexicano? Por que la izquierda mexicana parece simpatizar a la asi llamada "oposicion rusa",  alimentada y soportada por EEUU?

 i ZAPATISTAS CHIAPANECOS! 

LES PODEMOS PRESTAR NUESTRAS PUTAS  - 

i QUE BAILEN EN LAS  IGLESIAS INDIGENAS,  DEMOSTRANDO SUS GENITALIAS,  ANTE SUS MUJERES Y NIÑOS INDIGENAS, -

Maria Alyójina, Yekaterina Stanislávovna Samutsévich y NadezhdaTolokónnikova.   -  Rusas, integrantes del grupo de rock punk “Pussy Riot”.  Su delito: denunciar la imposición de Vladimir Putin con la complicidad del alto clero de la Iglesia Ortodoxa rusa.  Fueron detenidas y tomadas prisioneras por tocar música punk en una iglesia.  La rola pedía a la madre de dios que echara a Putin del gobierno.  Fueron sentenciadas a dos años en prisión por haber “socavado el orden social”.

   Esto en el país que se precia de haberse liberado de la “tiranía comunista”.

PUSSY RIOT - LA HISTORIA SECRETA 

26 agosto 2012  

Universalmente admiradas, Pussy Riot (o PR en resumen) han sido presentadas como superestrellas. ¿Pero que son? No son un grupo rock o punk. Un periodista británico se asombraba: no producen música, no pintan, nada, rien, nothing. ¿Cómo puede describírselas como artistas? Esto no deja de ser una severa prueba para sus partidarios, pero la han superado con buena nota: ese famoso amante del arte, el Departamento de Estado estadounidense ha pagado por su primer single, siendo producido por The Guardian a partir de ciertas imágenes y sonidos.

Podemos soportar obscenidad y blasfemia; soy un gran admirador de Notre Dame de Fleurs de Jean Genet, que combina ambas. Sin embargo, PR nunca ha escrito, compuesto o pintado nada de valor. Chris Randolph las ha defendido en Counterpunch comparándolas con el “controvertido Yegor Letov”. Que comparación más confusa. Letov compuso poesía, llena de obscenidades pero aún así poesía, mientras que las PR no han hecho nada excepto Relaciones Públicas.

PUSSY RIOT AS A POLITICAL LEVERAGE AGAINST RUSSIA

Who or What is Russia's "Pussy Riot?"

West’s “Pussy Riot” media coverage worse than “Soviet era” propaganda.
by Tony Cartalucci 

August 6, 2012 -  Accurately described as bigots and hooligans, the 3 member musical band known as “Pussy Riot” is now on trial for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.” This came after they burst into a church in Moscow, disturbing the peace while mocking the beliefs of practitioners in an attempt to protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Had skinheads done something similar in a synagogue in the West, surely they’d have long ago paid steep fines and begun their lengthy jail sentences for “public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity” (and here).

The Guardian’s article titled, “Pussy Riot trial ‘worse than Soviet era’,” opens immediately with overt propaganda, describing the courtroom and Russian flag as “shabby” and a police dog as “in search of blood.” The British paper attempts to portray Russia itself as having a “stark divide” between conservatives and liberals, the latter fighting against the state “with any means it can.”

Already the Guardian runs into trouble – by portraying Russia as “divided” it is dismissing recent elections that granted Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party a sound mandate to lead the country. And while it is true that in reality, between voter turnout and Putin’s garnering the support of 63% of those that did turn out (in a 5-way race), only about 40% of Russia’s total registered voters actually voted for Putin, his mandate is still sounder than that of  US President Barack Obama’s 32% in a mere 2-way race, or last year’s victory here in Thailand by Yingluck Shinawatra with a tenuous 35%, a victory hailed by the Western media as a “sweeping” mandate.

It should also be noted that Russia’s recent elections were marred by election monitoring NGO “GOLOS” attempting to call the results fraudulent. It would be later revealed that this NGO, billed as “independent” by the Western press, was in fact funded and directed by the US State Department via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Attempts by Wall Street and London to frame the elections as fraudulent set the groundwork for a wider campaign of political destabilization – a campaign “Pussy Riot” has now become a key player in.

Russian Ethnic Round-Dance Flashmob in Siberia

In Novosibirsk:

- Do you recognise it?
- Of course. A legendary video.
- Cool! Let's do it again, but all throughout Siberia!
- Let's!

The flashmob took place from 3 to 12 June in 9 Siberian cities, including Novosibirsk, Omsk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Abakan, Kyzyl, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk.

More than 3 thousand young people took part in the event.

The accompanying music is traditional Russian chant performed by a folk choir, but interpreted in a rock style. The dance includes ethnic elements (a Russian round-dance, "khorovod"), and elements of break-dance. Also, the traditional dance of Far East peoples was included (city of Abakan).

Operación Sofía

In continuation of my previous post which speaks of the Guatemalan right wing's feedback to Rios-Montt trial. The main idea of Guatemalan right is to reject the term of "genocide"  and replace it with the term "internal armed conflict" for the purposes of, as I see it, 1) changing the penalty for Rios Montt and his men for lighter term, and 2) presenting Guatemala in a more favourable light before the U.S. (or international community), because "genocide" sounds bad, but "internal conflict" is much more acceptable.

But going back to Guatemala's history provides enough information to prove that genocide took place. For example, we may look through the general timeline of events, and choose details of Victoria 82 and Sofia military operations which were run based on "frijoles and fusiles" policy, where civilians didn't receive any "frijol" as promised by military rhetorics, but just "fusiles".

Indigenous people being misplaced by the army. 

¿Hubo genocidio?

Estoy leyendo la prensa guatemalteca e internacional sobre el juicio contra Rios-Monnt.  Lo primero que me dió sorpresa fue la polarización entre guatemaltecos iniciada por el presidente del pais  y su slogan popular que “No hubo genocidio”.  Vista por fuera,  toda esa discusión o mejor decir, la campaña mediatica se revuelve alrededor del termino “genocidio” construido por expertas de ONU, segun dice Sr Presidente y sus seguidores, tales como historiador Carlos Sabino de la UFM  (de quien jamas sabiamos aqui en Rusia, pero lo conocimos através de una persona yacuto-rusa que lo anunció por medio de LiveJournal como “su amigo personal”).

Sin embargo, creemos que a esta discusion sobre los terminos juridicos, la desconocen miles de indigenas ya muertos o los que han sobrevivido matanzas y reclutamientos forzados a los PAC, igual que las muertes de sus familiares, violaciones y perdidas de su identidad cultural.  

El artìculo en The Wall Street Journal identificó el juicio contra Rios Montt como “absurdo”, porque, escribe,

 “ In the trial, the prosecution presented the testimony of numerous Indians who had been victims of the violence. But their stories could not prove genocide. (sic!)

Neither did the prosecution's "experts," mostly foreigners of the leftist persuasion who were not actually witnesses to any alleged acts of genocide. They were used to advance the prosecution's case that the army strategy "to exterminate" subversives was the same thing as an attempt to "exterminate" the Ixil people.

REDD Programme in Chiapas: Controversy

I make a re-post of this text from  Global Justice Ecology.org, as it narrates controversy about implementation of the REDD programme in Chiapas.  Also, it is noted that a demarcation line is finally being made to define the borders of the "Zona Lacandona" (forty years after the law of the Brecha Lacandona was enacted and thirty-six years after Montes-Azules nature reserve was established in the selva). It's still worth mentioning that inability of Mexican bureaucratic authorities to define the "nuclear" zone of the selva led to multiple evictions of indigenous communities from their lands (see the above link to Pangea web-page).

In the reposted article, the special emphasis is made on the miserable destiny of lacandones who became, consciously or unconsciously, traitors of their indigenous identity:

==While the members of the Lacandon Community are the beneficiaries of both the monthly REDD payment and access to vast territory, such benefits come at a high cost. In the words of Miguel Angél García, Coordinator of the  Chiapan NGO Maderas del Pueblo, “Of all the ethnic groups in Chiapas, the one that has suffered the greatest abuse of their rights are the Lacandones; they’ve been robbed of their history, of their identity, and of their dignity, and they’ve been turned into walking folkloric entities. There’s nothing worse than that.”==

Prussian Colony On Mosquito Coast and Ferdinand von Tempsky

Gustavus Ferdinand von Tempsky (1828-1868), a Prussian soldier of fortune, a traveler, journalist and an artist, made a trip from California to Mosquito Coast to take up a command of Mosquito (Misquito) Indians squad which had been set up by Britain. On Mosquito Coast, there was also a Prussian and German colony due to activities of Moravian Church missionaries who made efforts to convert local creoles and Indians into protestantism.

Goetz von Houwald in his book "Los Alemanes en Nicaragua" ("Germans in Nicaragua") describes the conditions in which the German colony lived there, and their relationships with the British representatives:
