ON THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA

INFORMLISTOK POLITOBEDINENIYA "worker" The ongoing economic downturn and the decline in living standards protest forced variety, including the most inert population. Perm in the Urals in the November strike teachers. In Chelyabinsk, doctors went on strike. Forcibly seized apartment builders LLP "Stekstroy" and SWC plant Dzerzhinsky (Perm). Traditionally, but alone are striking miners in the Chelyabinsk region, 60 of the mine "Shumikhinskaya" Kizelugolbasseyna, some mines in Kuzbass. Finally, for the first time publicly announced defense workers strike. October 26 began a hunger strike 80 working fine series "Uralmash" did the same work Chelyabinsk Tractor, 3000 workers went on strike defense company in Kurgan.

Single Performance in an "every man for himself" or somewhat satisfied (miners, defense industry), or suppressed by negotiations (teachers). Attempts to "communist" parties to "help" to the special unsuccessful: the opposition is usually avoided - and in Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk, in the Yaroslavl region. Although the "News" fear that the Kuzbass not today - tomorrow may again change the colors.Belated efforts of the government to calm the situation in the defense industry have serious foreign-policy implications and do not solve the overall problem. So, Chernomyrdin brought from Kuwait $ 50 million and fully conveyed Perm plant named after Lenin for the future order (5 January in Kuwait tested Permian air defense systems). For the defense of Kuwait from former friends of the USSR. However, the director of the company is not going to revolutionize Bulaev plant begins reduction. 27,000 workers "Perm Motors' expects 60% reduction. Plant owes 200 billion rubles. and selling real estate. Aircraft engine PS-90 does not meet Western standards, the plants do not produce technology upgrades, so there is no technological discipline - workers can not "bring" the engine. At the same time the head of Victor Rosoboronproma Deaf received applications for aircraft with Perm engines from 20 countries, but the government is not in a hurry to satisfy them.Fuel and energy complex (FEC), while the "feeds" all other industries. Its head Yu.Shafranik attempted an offsetting at least in FEC to resolve the issue of non-payment. That provoked a reaction from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as a possible meeting of price coordination between the metallurgical, transportation, oil and coal industries. Bank threatened to cut lending. Shafranik noticed that he had "deviated from the general line of the Party", offsets - is not the market. The idea of ​​lower oil prices for Russian users also generated pressure from the EBRD. Solution to the problem of non-payment was a profitable business, and on Shafranik was assassinated.
Under the guise of the capital is quiet robbery below. Audit Office (KRU) "cover" the head of the Perm regional administration B.Kuznetsova, head of the Regional Legislative Assembly E.Sapiro with automotive and other frauds. Perm region different from other regions of the Urals sufficient reserves of oil, gas, diamonds, ie supplier of raw materials. Recently, in a meeting of the heads of Sverdlovsk Assemblies Kurgan, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Orenburg and Perm regions, chaired E.Sapiro. KRA has left him alone as B.Kuznetsova. Shapiro goes to Hawaii with his son in law, the head of the Perm commodity stock exchange Kuzyaev to then spend a month together in the U.S..Prolonged economic downturn can not give results. The economic policy of continued military means. Have a reason to increase the tax burden, "iron" in wages and rationing. A situation that was already evident in 1992, when "the old Marx's schemes" predicted suppression of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation.Done victory "not veiled phrases power over the power of the phrase." "In parliament nation erected ... the law of the ruling class in its general will. In the face of executive power it renounces all his will and obey the dictates of the will of others, authority ... despotism of one individual, and, with the authority of the individual who has no authority ... "After the destruction of Parliament revolution" perfects the executive ... isolates it ... to concentrate against it all the forces of destruction ... "Further, when the nation will trust his uniform and rifle "liberation of society from the government cares," predicted the possibility of transferring the internecine war in the war against their governments. On the role of the next Gamsakhurdia determined Khasbulatov.What's going on? At the end of 1991 exacerbated the situation in Chechnya in early 1995, Russian forces have taken the presidential palace, while President Johar Dudayev is in "a safe place" and Khasbulatov in Ankara asking for assistance for Chechnya. It would seem that Yeltsin arrives with its sovereignty in the same way as Gorbachev - the sovereignty of the Baltic states, justifying prophecy in 1991 that he - like Gorbachev - national roll on inclined plane.Instead of the Special Forces trained to fight militants send newcomers from the countryside. "Freedom" radio reports that are sent mainly to the Urals. However, for example, the deputy military commissar of the Perm region V.Logachev colonel said that of all directed to Chechnya Perm killed 10, wounded 16 (newspapers - 22), and one man in captivity (Cheremnykh). Data clearly underestimated. "Freedom" reported 5000 dead Russians (20 January), the Duma came information about 4000, the official figure - 398 people.Returning to Perm journalists talk about the brisk arms trade (the most profitable business today, especially near Japan, which banned the wearing of personal weapons). Chechens from the Russian officers receive detailed information about the movements of Russian troops and retreating shot from helicopters. According to some of the officers would be to crush the resistance in one day, even the forces that are available, but their surprise they do not.Some sources become aware of so-called "contractual war": Russian officers are paid by the Chechen mafia and shoot blocks of ordinary Chechens, leaving the villa in the wealthy alone.
Yeltsin promised to "end" to Chechnya to January 8. As usual, it did not. "Russian News" and the "Red Star" assure a "blitzkrieg". One of the officers said on January 20 that "break away from day to day, almost completed action" (and indeed, in the Perm formed militias to restore order in the occupied areas). However, a request to publish his opinion together with the name officer did not bother to meet.Of course, that one of the causes of war - international claims corporations, firms, etc. on Grozny oil region. But what is the reason for its delay? Experience World War II showed (Budapest), the tanks in the city do not need. Grachev on television swears that no tank is not in Grozny. The next day the TV shows just wrecked tanks. Perhaps that is not so easy to quickly determine the direction of the flow of oil, as in the case of the Timan-Pechora oil pool? In any case, make an interim move: Kozyrev agreed to a UN force.Chechnya has a common border with Azerbaijan, where constantly being militants and makeup techniques. The capture of the palace does not solve anything, in modern warfare, and guidance can be on a plane to refuel in the air. So it's a speedy end in sight, though, most of all, "sovereignty" will be suppressed. But it is not over: the approach of Ingushetia, Karachay-Cherkessia, in short, all the South Caucasus, a smoldering hearth. It does not extinguish any outcome: the cause remains.Europe and the Russian opposition is outraged human rights violations in Chechnya. What rights, the war is going. Europe was about to impose sanctions, but felt that it is an internal affair of Russia.Patriotic niche filled by supporting Yeltsin in the massacre, Nevzorov, Baburin Zhirinovsky. The argument is simple: cut off the head of Russian soldiers, rebels mutilated corpses. Yeltsin has prepared for the role of the Communist Party for a scapegoat, putting it functionary Minister of Justice, thinks so determined Zhirinovsky's office of the Ministry of Defence after his statement: "I'll teach you how to fight with Chechnya!"Humane Communist Party considers it necessary to stop the fighting. But then what to do with Chechnya? Do the "communists" right of nations to self-determination? "Yes, - answers Perm State Duma deputy Zelenin - support self-determination, but ... part of Russia." "We need to stop the slaughter - objects" mishandled "in Moscow, the International League of Workers (P.Slutsky) - Dudayev is definitely not good, but it can deal with only the Chechen people." MLT position (right to self-determination) supports Permian Komsomol. More consistent Trotskyist (and MLT) "workers' democracy" (S.Biets) opposes state patriotism Communist proletarian internationalism, ie workers' unity - the unity of the bourgeoisie ...The Democratic Party, led by Yegor Gaidar, feeling close crash Yeltsin unanimously condemned the introduction of troops in Chechnya and accused Yeltsin of provocation. At the general decline is difficult not to be in opposition, and the preposition found. But rather absurd "miss" the pressure on the Russian in the Baltic, Transnistria, Abkhazia against Shevardnadze's support, etc., and then start to defend Chechnya. The workers understood: Democrats once again set their sights on the chair and make political capital at the slaughterhouse.However, opinions, or "position" politgrupp do not change (such as the Democratic Union meeting in 1989 in Perm, in memory of the victims of Tbilisi). The words of the unity of workers in the form of good faith, but are empty. To them were some kind of action, it is necessary, in particular, that the Russian workers have raised the question of the sovereignty of Chechnya, while Chechen workers - the question of quitting work problems out of Chechnya (Lenin debate about Poland and Luxembourg). But today is not only about the same time, not to speak. Until now, work collectives, even within the same city (one plant!) There is no practice of joint action. There is a single strike, but the common interests of, say, the Urals and Chechen workers have not yet manifested.On the other hand, there are no forces that launched a war against the governments of Dudayev and Yeltsin, nor by the unarmed workers, not the opposition. Especially because at the slightest threat Yeltsin clings sign the UN, and banking capital, he arranges. Meeting of the directors of the Perm region (over 100 people). Majority decided to stop supplying weapons to combat. But the defense, and so idle, enough weapons, the arms trade is not stopped, and shift the Yeltsin "left" no one: even the Communist Party declared that come to power now - for her death.Since the Democratic Party seems to hurry: the rumors of political death are greatly exaggerated Yeltsin.More. Many workers speak out against Yeltsin for having started the war, and believe that it is necessary to leave Chechnya alone. Quite quickly come to understand that there is no real interest to want to send to slaughter Russian teenagers. By "home" and "order" of the government have in mind only their own interests - for the Russian workers do not belong not only in Chechnya, but also in Russia, as well as ordinary Chechens - in Chechnya. But it is hard to think that after forcing Democrats squalor Russia in the face of the West and the dangers of patriotic Russian Fascism enough Russian workers do not wish to set the order in Chechnya. Democratic Party to oppose the war, only add fuel to the fire: they have lost trust in any of their appeal is the opposite reaction. For example, if the leaflets "communists" against the US-Russian military exercises in the southern Urals have not caused more response workers Permian "Welt", the rally over Chechnya in Sverdlovsk was under general attitude: "Crush!"It is not clear against any common enemy thought exercises (joyfully perceived Democratic Party), but it is clear that for a short period of Yeltsin war at hand. When the coffins being brought and there will be plenty of anger, we can assume that the next elections, Yeltsin won. Only when the Caucasus will be "smoldering hearth," can we talk about a combination of the war against the war and the war against the devastation of "translating into a civil war, national." But so far the only reality is the detailed analysis of the position of the Russian army which interests it protects? Who within the army advantageous to use it for other purposes?
