Gobbelsowska farsa w Czeczenii

28.11.05, 07:22
Jak donosi korespondent BBC z Groznego, jeden z 25 tysiecy (sic!) policjantow
strzegacych lokali wyborczych powiedzal mu znizonym glosem:

" Wiecej tu bylo was, dziennikarzy niz glosujacych!"

Niemniej jednak Kreml juz wie, ze prog wyborczy zostal przekroczony i
przypuszczalnie jeszcze dzis przedstawiciele pplka Wsadzia i jego FSB w
Czeczenii opublikuja gotowe juz od dawna wyniki "wolnych wyborow" tamoj. ;-)))

      GROZNY, Russia, Aug. 30 — Maj. Gen. Alu Alkhanov, the senior law enforcement
      officer in Chechnya and a Kremlin loyalist, today was declared the winner of
      the republic's special presidential election, as had been assured since he
      declared his candidacy in June.

      According to unofficial tallies released by the republic's election commission,
      General Alkhanov received 73.48 percent of Sunday's vote, overwhelming six
      challengers in a manner reminiscent of the election of his predecessor, Akhmad
      Kadyrov, who was assassinated in May.

      The results surprised no one. The election of Mr. Kadyrov last year has been
      derided by international analysts as a farce, and dozens of Chechen residents,
      in interviews before the election, said nothing would change.

      General Alkhanov had the Kremlin's backing, they said, which meant he would be
      imposed.

      General Alkhanov's closest competitor, Movsur Khamidov, received less than 9
      percent of the vote. Mr. Khamidov, with a career in the F.S.B., one of the
      agencies that emerged from the K.G.B., was regarded by some analysts as
      Moscow's back-up candidate in case General Alkhanov was killed before election
      day.

      Now that General Alkhanov has won, the more difficult task is at hand: leading
      the people the government says have elected him.

      After a decade that has seen two wars between the Russian government and
      Chechen Islamists and separatists, and the crescendo of crime that accompanied
      them, Chechnya is a land of horrors, a tiny corner of Russia that lies in ruin,
      plagued by lingering battles in its southern mountains and ambushes and
      terrorist attacks on its urban streets.

      Grozny, the capital, is rubbled and occupied by both the Russian army and a
      variety of armed Chechen formations. Corruption is systemic, the economy
      devastated, and crime unchecked. Abductions are common enough that few
      Westerners venture in.

      The Kremlin has chosen a strategy of working through local proxies, hoping to
      pass authority to them and withdraw its troops and police. It has also vowed to
      reconstruct the republic, although there are scant signs of progress.

      In an appearance today, General Alkhanov said he would continue the Kremlin's
      course, and pledged to improve the republic's human rights record, which
      international organizations have described as frightening.

      "I think in the near future you will see some improvements," he said.

      He also suggested that he might consider a pardon for rebels who put down their
      arms and denounced the separatist cause.

      He made clear, however, that he is not in negotiations with rebels now, and
      left little room for holding them with Aslan Maskhadov, a previously elected
      president of the republic who is now a rebel commander, and who has said that
      any new president will be killed.

      "Maskhadov has only one chance — to apologize to the people whom he plunged
      into war and face a court," General Alkhanov said.

      Under the Chechen constitution, General Alkhanov will serve a four-year term,
      and must be sworn in within 30 days. No date for the inauguration was set today.

      Personally, General Alkhanov cuts a different figure than many of the armed and
      loud men around him. Built like a bear, he speaks softly and in a measured
      style. After a season of regular media appearances, he has grown more
      comfortable before crowds.

      Today he seemed to enjoy his interaction with the Western news media, waving
      off advisers who asked him to cut short questions, and even lingering after the
      official event had ended.

      Whether he will be regarded as legitimate in office leaves to be seen.

      Although the Chechen government insisted today that the election had been
      monitored by international observers, the observers were in fact few, and they
      visited polling stations briefly. Journalists did not find any of them at
      polling stations they toured.

      Moreover, the government's turn-out figure — more than 85 percent — seemed to
      have been snatched from air. Busloads of journalists had trouble finding voters
      at several polling places on election day, and Grozny was virtually abandoned,
      an empty city that bore a sharp contrast to its resumed bustle today.

      The election also did not have independent monitors who observed the sealing of
      ballot boxes, counted voters throughout the day, and then ensured when ballot
      boxed were opened that the number of ballots cast met the number of ballots
      counted, and that no ballots were switched.

      These would be important safeguards in Chechnya, where allegations of vote-
      stuffing widespread. In the election Sunday, for instance, Musa Muradov, a
      journalist for the Kommersant newspaper, voted four times. {

      He was turned down at a fifth try, but confident he could have kept voting had
      he not been on the job. " I could have voted even more," he wrote in the
      newspaper's edition today. "But I had to file my story."
