Nemtsov report on
Kremlin's secret war in Ukraine
(Ukraine Donbas
The findings of an
investigation launched by murdered Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov about Russia 's secret war in Ukraine will be
published this Tuesday, May 12.
Opposition
politician Ilya Yashin told Radio Liberty (RFERL) that a group of journalists
and activists had completed their report – one potentially damaging for Putin –
and were ready to unveil their findings to the public.
Yashin said Nemtsov
had already outlined the report's contents and contacted representatives of
several relatives of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine , prior to his
assassination.
As part of this
research, Nemtsov wrote a handwritten note, saying that he'd been in touch with
paratroopers from the Russian city of Ivanovo ,
Reuters news agency reported in March.
Meanwhile, Yashin
said completing the report was important. He was quoted as saying; "When
he was killed and I'd emerged from the initial shock, I realized it was my duty
to the memory of my dead comrade to take this work to its end and publish the report
that he began".
A handful of
Chechens were arrested over Nemtsov's murder, which took place on February 27
near the Kremlin. One of the men charged later claimed being forced to confess,
a member of Russia 's
Human Rights Council reported in March.
The investigation
has been futile – despite the large surveillance and security operation around Red Square . Russian state media put forward a wide range
of theories about the reasons behind Nemtsov's murder – involving Chechens,
love triangles and links to Ukrainian far-right leader and Kremlin bogeyman
Dmytro Yarosh.

Putin puts Russia
back to Stalin time, renowned Russian actress says
(Zik) --- Thanks to Putin, Stalin time
is returning to Russia ,
the famous Russian and Soviet actress, Natalia Fateyeva says.
“The comeback is
deliberately done by the Putin regime. I have lived my life under the Stalin
rule, but neither during the WWII nor after it was there such violence and
lawlessness in the country. I hate to hear Putin’s rhetoric aimed at fanning
the hate among the Russians and sic them on other peoples,” Fateyeva
says.
Putin justifies
Stalinization by the requests of the veterans.
This is done to
keep Russian in slavery and fear. This regime doesn’t need its people or the
country. They need us to let them stay in power for good. That is why they
resurrect Stalin, ban courts, elections and branches of power
“Putin willingly
indulges in the never-ending glorification of Stalin. But Stalin was a silly
and a creep. Just read the books by Boris Vasiljev who calls him an imbecile
who knew nothing about how to run the army.
The archives are
under lock, the officials are playing with the facts to keep the country in the
feudal era.
The war with Georgia and the desire to annex Ukraine are
parts of the same flagrant policy.
This regime is
blatant, callous, and greedy,” opposition radio Ekho Moskvy quotes Natalia
Fateyeva as saying.
