Russia, together with many other former Soviet republics including Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, continues to be considered a country of restricted freedom, according to the report "Freedom in the World - 2007", published on January 17 by the American human rights organization "Freedom House". The situation in Russia has somewhat deteriorated as a result of the offensive of authorities against non-governmental organizations, the authors of report note. Armenia, Georgia, Kirghizia, Moldavia are partially free; Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Estonia are described as free. The level of freedom in Azerbaijan and Kirghizia was somewhat reduced. Authoritarianism was strengthened in the majority of countries of the former Soviet Union, although as a ... >> full...

In 1991, when the "great powerful Soviet Union" began to tear at the seams, and the fate of the KGB was uncertain, leaders of Perestroika and chiefs of state security hurried to assure Russian society and political activists that state security services would no longer conduct political monitoring. At first it seemed that this would be so. Although even then it was explained that even with former dissidents by no means everything was at an end - some investigations remained in operational development. For a long time "work" on political opposition, if it was being conducted, was sufficiently unnoticeable. The Administration of Constitutional Safety of the FSB of Russia, created in 1998, did not advertise its activities. Data about political ... >> full...

2,000 Children 'Live On Moscow's Streets'
Tajikistan/Russia - Tajik Street Children in Moscow
Tajik street children in Moscow
(RFE/RL)
January 30, 2007 -- Medecins Sans Frontieres says about 2,000 children live on Moscow's streets and tens of thousands of others are homeless across Russia.
But the aid group said the problem was less grave than three years ago, partly because Moscow city authorities had opened more orphanages.
The group said 80 percent of Moscow's homeless children had come from Russia's provincial regions.

Despite the Kremlin's effort to portray the region, devastated by more than a decade of fighting between federal forces and separatist rebels as returning to normal, "nothing has really been normalized," said Tatiana Lokshina, head of Demos, a Moscow-based human rights think tank. Some 3,000 to 5,000 people have been abducted since the start of the region's second post-Soviet war in 1999, mostly by federal forces or their local allies, Demos said in the 13-page report. Most abductions took place in Chechnya, but some in neighboring provinces such as Ingushetia. The statistics were obtained by analyzing data provided by several human rights groups operating in ... >> full...
