PUPPET WAR: IT'S REASONS AND RESULTS FOR HUMANS.

   The Chechen war... What are its results, consequences, real meaning, whether it has ended at all or not...? Even today these questions disturb Russian people, especially those who still live in North Caucasus.

   This mindless military campaign has affected plenty of families throughout the country, in fact a lot of Russian soldiers lost their lives there without even knowing taste of life. Whether their mothers thought, sending them to military that they would never see them again... And how many peaceful citizens have been killed and wounded just because they showed up in a wrong place in a wrong hour...

   The question of whether the war is still on is very disputed even nowadays. According to the version of the Federal Government, there is no war in republic now and situation is stable, but how can we explain all the terrorists' attacks occurring in the Chechen Republic, doesn't it mean that in reality the war has not ended yet,peaceful citizens still  get killed and Russian Army still grounds there. We shall start with the most significant of them - a terrible bomb explosion on May 9th, 2004 at the main stadium in Grozniy-city when the former president of republic - Ahmad Kadirov and 6 more people were killed. Other example was back in 2005 in the village Znamenskaya when terrorists came out on streets and began firing their guns at peaceful citizens as a result of which 14 people lost their lives and 42 had been wounded. Another incident was in October 2007 when terrorists blown up APC (armored personnel carrier) with Russian soldiers, of course everyone who was inside died. Unfortunately these examples are endless, but for some reason Russian Government prefers to keep this information to itself and only rare media covers those cases by risking to be closed any moment for giving "false information to public". Really? How can we allow it to happen? Since when wearing blindfold became a standard measure in order to avoid reality?

   Before we start looking into the problem we have to define a true reason of this frightful war and a goal that had been arranged to achieve. And clearly, it's not hard to notice and even it's pretty obvious that the main reason WAS and still IS Money Laundering by Russian Government . It has been going on for 14!!! years now. 

   It is not a secret, that the huge part of the state budget is allocated on "maintenance of the peace in the region", those sums of money had been significantly enlarged when president Putin gave the power to Ramzan Kadyrov. Actually these millions of rubles do NOT go to the citizens who  suffered during the war, but to the pockets of MEN IN POWER, and I can prove it on my personal example. In the beginning of 2004, Federal Government has published the law according to which each family whose house had been destroyed should be getting 300,000 rubles (it is around $11000). When my family found it out, we, as the citizens of Chechen Republic had all the rights to receive those money, were delighted, that we could get at least something to start liveing our lives again, but apparently we got excited too early. We came to Grozniy's Office of Immigration Services with documents which proved that our house has been destroyed, we were told that we will get only half of this money otherwise we would be getting nothing! We had to agree to it, because the same situation has occurred with my aunt’s family - Galinoi Buzovoi as well and they ended up with the half of that amount. When we were in a line for the money, we witnessed a following picture - an indignant old person who was threatening the people who worked there by saying that he would go to the police and court because he didn't get all the money he qualified for, got beaten and has been walked outside. He told us then, that he had been threatened and topld if he would tell this to anyone he won't get any money and will be killed! It was the reason why my family didn't go to authorities either. In the moments like that you realize that no money worth your life.

    It is a perfect example of money being a part of state budget and not going to people in need, but straight to the authorities' and politicians' pocket-there is no other way to explain why there are no roads under construction, no schools being built, no people being helped, but Chechen authorities and Russian politicians keep buying new houses and cars for themselves.

   There is the complete islamization of the society in this Republic, there is only a handful on non-Chechen and non-Muslims still lives there, and the life for them is not sweet, at all:  they are rejected in medical help at hospitals, free education at schools they are getting discriminated there and even they are forced to learn the Chechen language without an opportunity to learn their Russian language at all.

   It is necessary to mention also "help" of the Islamic countries in "religious fight" and for murdering of "infidels", religious radicals who come from Muslim countries don't only promote killing of infidels, they make it dreadful reality. It is not a secret that there are many Iraqi, Afganistani, Irani citizens in a captivity of Russian authorities. All these warriors of "jihad" help their “brothers in belief” not from noble, altruistic feelings, but for thousands of dollars which they are getting paid by the people who became members of the Chechen government today.

   Now the Chechen Republic is an independent state, associated with Russia, as well as Tatarstan and Dagestan, it has it's own budget, has its oil, minerals and other natural recourses, their goverments decide whether it will be sold, to whom and at what price.

   The strangest thing is that Federal Government knows about the entire situation in Chechen Republic and doesn't do anything with it. I guess Russian Government has its own benefits as well. The vivid example of it will be incidents that happened back in 1999. That time Grozniy was not supervised by Moscow, but new war could be avoided. Some events, which have become its background remain unsolved until now, I mean those building explosions in Moscow and some other Russian cities. That time Chechens had been accused in those terrorist attacks, however the suspicion has fallen on Russian security services as well. The Kremlin's grey cardinals wished to push recently appointed prime minister, Vladimir Putin, into president's chair; only very few people knew former officer of KGB by name before he actually came on the political stage. The New war has aroused Putin as a president, when he promised "to drown those  gangsters in a toilet", the Russians suppressed in last years of Yeltsin's power by his inactivity, liked Putin's ideas and followed him by having no other choice.

   There it happens - everybody tries to benefit from the Chechen Republic. What is the next benefit? Now it is money for POWER HOLDERS, but what about tomorrow, what is going to happen with Chechnya, with Russia? ...Would a New president and a new government mean more explosions, more victims, more deaths? Only one thing doesn't ever change - the Chechen Republic remains being "a black hole" for the Russian budget, which is made from the money of regular taxpayers - doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. The Chechen Republic only sucks in money and lives, creates more corruption, taking away money from Russians and giving it to the someone who already have power! Would it be better for Russians to give an independence to Chechnya so all the problems go away and money will be saved? Unfortunately we are not the ones who have power and make decisions...
