From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 11/15/2006 8:14 PM Russians remember death of reporter The Associated Press (Published November 15‚ 2006) MOSCOW (AP) - More than 100 people gathered at a central Moscow square Wednesday to mark the death last month of investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya and the end of the traditional Russian 40-day period of mourning. People stood silently holding lighted candles and portraits of the slain reporter, while others carried placards demanding that authorities solve the murder that shocked journalists, human rights advocates and foreign governments. Some placards read "Who Killed Her?" and "You Can't Kill The Truth." Outside the Moscow apartment building where Politkovskaya was gunned down on Oct. 7, passers-by laid flowers.

By Umalt Dudayev in Grozny (CRS No. 366, 16-Nov-06) A series of long barrack-style houses, reached by a broken road, not far from the centre of Grozny were built for English oil-workers a century ago. Now they are home to dozens of families. Three teenage boys left here several months ago to go to the mountains and join the Chechen rebel fighters. Since then, life has become hell for the family of one of the boys. Masud Alkhazurov (not his real name) has seven children aged between 10 and 19. His second son Ruslan, 18, is one of the three young men who disappeared to fight the Russian army. Too grey for his age, the father smoked nervously, as he recounted to IWPR recently what had befallen him since ... >> full...

Under proposals being considered in the Russian Parliament, or Duma, regional governors would be given the option of eliminating the post of mayor in their provincial capitals. The plan is being presented as a move to ease bureaucracy, but critics claim that it is part of a wider Kremlin campaign to undermine local autonomy. The Congress of the Council of Europe, which was set up to safeguard strong local government across the continent, is worried about the “danger” that the proposal poses to democracy in Russia. The issue of democracy and human rights in Russia was ... >> full...

Today, the court of the Korelian town of Kondopoga has sent back to the prosecutor's office the case against one of the instigators of the mass fight that led to the murder of two locals.
