After FSB of the Russian Federation has ostensibly warned Trubnikov, that his life is under the threat, so-called " the embassy of the Russian Federation " has directed the appropriate request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India.

Meanwhile: A snapshot from Krasnodar FRIDAY, MAY 27, 2005 WASHINGTON On a recent visit to Krasnodar, in southern Russia, my father and I were arrested by the Federal Security Service, or FSB, the new version of the secret police. Our three hours in FSB custody evoked dark shadows of the Soviet past as well as moments out of the Keystone Kops. Krasnodar also revealed the complexity of today’s Russia. I had gone there to meet my father, 88, who had just been in Moscow for the 60th anniversary of V-E Day. Reared in Krasnodar, he was a Red Army soldier who got out of the Soviet Union as a prisoner of war. After World War II he managed to avoid forced repatriation, a common fate of Soviet refugees in the hands of Stalin’s wartime allies. He emigrated to America and later served in the U.S. Army in the Korean War. One of the ironies ... >> full

This report is somewhat anomalous because Ossetians are traditionally Christians and they account for 60 percent of the republic's total population of some 710,000. But now, the number of Muslims in Beslan has declined significantly as officials have indicated that they view anyone who "actively practices" Islam as "an enemy," according to ... >> full
