We will have an elections in our beloved «Rasha,» hope you know about that unforgettable event. This historical event will be produced by a production company «Kremlin & Sons.» Russian crowds will participate in masses. All of them will be obliged to present themselves to some special points in neighborhoods all over our country on the same day: December 2. All of them («sons,» although more than half of them are daughters: middle-aged women and grandmothers) should carry their passports in their handbags and pockets. When arriving at special points of gathering («called electoral stations»), «sons» should take out the passports from their pockets and their handbags and should stretch them out to «servants of the Kremlin.» The servants of the Kremlin will find the names of the «sons» one by one in their electoral book on the table. When name will be found, it should be carefully checked out according to the personal information included in the passport. If by all and overwhelming evidence «son» is person mentioned by passport, he/she will be allowed to receive a «ballot.» When receiving the «ballot» from stretched out hand of «Kremlin’s servant,» «son» should in exchange put his signature into the «electoral book.» Group of policeman will be constantly present at electoral station in case if one of the «sons» will be unhappy with procedure.

Surprisingly for myself, I found myself siding with vice-president of the United States, when judging his speech in Vilnius. Chainey have said:

“in the many spheres of civic society, from religion and medias to the human rights organizations and political parties, Russian authorities have unjustfully and unnecessarily limited the rights of its people”.

Limonov

A group of activists of the radical National Bolshevik Party stormed the Health Ministry headquarters on August 2 to protest the government’s plan to replace Soviet-era benefits with cash payments. Protestors were detained by the police after they seized one of the ministry’s offices shouting antigovernment slogans from the window and waving flags. In a statement released by the NBP following their detention, the party said its members were savagely battered by FSB officers at the Tverskoye police department.

In an interview to Gazeta.Ru, Eduard Limonov, a novelist, leader and founder of the NBP, comments on the incident.

For The Rights Of The Living

The farce under the high-sounding title “Elections of the president of the Russian Federation” has ended. It has ended by a fire. I will recall to those who have forgotten it, that it is in these very royal stables, i.e. in Manege, some months ago another farce was happening - under the pathetic title “Honest elections”, when the nazbols spilled mayonnaise on the maniac Veshnyakov. The business started with mayonnaise was completed by fire. Glory to fire!  (more…)

Russian Rip Off: Elections

Friday, December 12th, 2003

Today is election day in Russia. Russia is my beloved country, where I was born sixty years ago in the city of Dzerzhinsk, named after Polish aristocrat, turned to be a chief of Revolutionary terror machine of All Russian Extraordinary Comission. My destiny was always predicted on that terribly cold February Day to be born in the city of Dzerzhinsk, in another words I was damned somehow on my birthday, condemned to be tied up to the destiny of organization, founded by Mr. Dzerzhinski. So, I was duly detained by KGB officers in 1973 and consequently was forced to go abroad in 1974. I was arrested by FSB officers in 2001 and was placed in FSB prison “Lefortovo.” Then I spend two and a half years in various prisons of my country. Beloved country, of course. And my President in present time is a colonel of KGB. I want to say that he was a colonel of KGB and later he was a head of the same organisation that Dzerzhinski have founded. These are my thoughts in cold election Day in Moscow apartment. I am looking from my window. (more…)

Dressing down for election chief

Thursday, August 28th, 2003

The campaign to clean up electioneering by Russia’s top electoral official, Alexander Veshnyakov, has got off to a bad start. As he closed a five-day conference involving 27 political parties at the Manezh exhibition centre in Moscow, the mud-slinging, or rather the mayonnaise-slinging, began.
