MOSCOW. July 11 (Interfax) - The killing of Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev will not trigger any dramatic changes in Chechnya, Memorial human rights center head Oleg Orlov told Interfax on Tuesday.
"The situation will not change drastically. But, given [Basayev's] role as a major organizer of the terrorist network, his elimination will create difficulties for those who have resisted federal forces with weapons in their hands," he said.
"Another horrible terrorist, another person responsible for savage crimes has been eliminated," he said.
Basayev should have been captured and brought to trial, he said. "It would be better for our country and the worldwide anti-terrorist operation in general if such a major terrorist had gone on trial. Very interesting details might have been revealed," Orlov said.

History books and events reveal dates of war starting and ending between Russia and it's opponents, the oppressed nations that happened to be the neighbors and some times the neighbors' neighbors in regions and territories that extended around the structure of the imperial Muscovites state; but the existing fact and reality is continuity of the war that was started by those Muscovites that rolled over the bodies and corps of the innocent Human Beings which lead at certain times to eliminate tribes, and nations whether partially or totally, for the sake of swallow and ingest what they were able to consume and/or squeeze, force, crush, destroy, oppress, burden grievously all what their evil grip could reach and seize, to take or hold possession and control of the homes, properties, ... >> full...
