Russian Extremists Threaten to Kill Journalists, Lawyers and Rights Activists

"it would be "more correct to use in the educational system terms which are more familiar and understandable to the citizens of Russia." - such as fear, threat, dictatorship, guns, blood, torment, deportations, executions etc. Stuff about dialogue with neighbouring countries is pure cremlin propoganda, You can be either Russia's vassal or enemy. The written above only shows that church can not be seperated from state, not in Russia, nor in other countries. It's not a bluff that Orthodox church in Other countries is Russia's spying net. Russia's propoganda reminds of Natzi Germany's (we have our own correct world with our own ethics, where there will be no western tolerance, only orthodoxcorrect thinkig), please, people, read between lines. The fact is that there is no tolerance in Russia against other nations. It seems that Russia's rulers feel so humiliated and inferior that tolerance is last thing what they can afford.

CHEKIST EZTREMIST WAS NOT ONLY RUSSIN ., THEY ARE IS STALINA HITLERA NATIONALITY AND ONLY SOME RUSSIAN SHIZOFRENICS. IT IS 2000. IT IS WORLD OF IT.

čekistu ekstrēmisti, un viņi ir tev rada goulbl, ne tik daudz krieviem

Your writing is goofy!

The rules are the same, whether in courtroom or not. You can have your own opinions but not your own facts. And it does not matter whether you are in a courtroom or not, if you cannot back up your opinions with facts that makes you a liar. If you have the courage to lie but do not have the courage to admit, that makes you a coward. If you started name calling with the hope I will respond in the same manner, that makes you a not very smart person. The trick is too old and too well known. If you can only back up your opinions with personal attacks and name calling, that only means you are not an adult yet. And if so, politics is a too heavy theme for you. Go play with kids of your age.

Whoa,buddy,wake up please.We are not in a courtroom and if this place for some reason will not tolerate me i do not give a sneeze.I have my opinions and so do you.What is the problem anyway?Bad neighbourhood,divorce,lost job.You will not make a penny out of your PCness here so just chill.Considering your last message - GFY,dude,GFY.

If a 25-year old woman already is a "senior gang member", that is fast career. Id she manages that while studying journalism, that is a miraculous career :D It does not matter to what political group she belonged to, unless prahtweders is a neo-leninist for whom killing without trial is ok. EVERYONE is protected by the law, even Gleb Zheglov from Stalin's criminal police (a movie character) knew that. Yes and she can be EITHER a leftist OR a gang member, not both. Even more absurd in the case of the lawyer, but prahtweeders is desperately trying to avoid the theme - in what cases was the lawyer involved? In defending his gang members or political cases, tell me you well informed one with good manners! But if prahtweeders has to choose between being rude and ignorant and openly defending criminal practices in dealing with political opposition, it is better to be rude and ignorant, right?

my dear ignorant praatweeders, in order to call someone a gang member you must either provide evidence or you may be sued for libel, and some forums will not tolerate unproven accusations. If loud voice is your only argument, better get out of here and never come back again. And do not teach manners to others if you have not learned them first, a hypocrite's advice has no value whatsoever.

My dear narkologs,are you effing ignorant or what.One has no need to carry weapons to be a senior member of a large gang.I am not bullcraping you so mind your manners please and next time visit a serious site better informed.

Russia as a country has a long lasting tradition of violence and completely lacks respect for the lives of its citizens. They can be shot on the street, gassed to death in a "hostage rescue operation", sent to die in aggressive wars and that is a "national tradition". And their church has a tradition of supporting all these activities. It is very unfortunate that such wonderful people as Russians (those living in Russia, NOT folks who love authoritarianism in Russia and keep out of there, have settled in Latvia but hate it) have got such a bloody history. And even more unfortunate they cannot end it. As someone calling himself Peter Wolf writes on the Russian internet, and he cannot be "russophobe" because he is a Russian: He left his home and went to war To let the Ossetians take Georgian land. He destroys and rebuilds, it is not the first time To waste the taxpayers' money for that. For a Russian KGB man, for a Chechen bandit My friend lies dead in a dirty trench. How much have we spent for aid to Chechens? And how much have we spent for fighting wars with Chechens? Afghani war is over, but we need To fight new wars. We cannot live in peace. What did you fight for, General Bagration? Why didn't you go and get drunk with Napoleon? (Pyotr Bagration - a Georgian general serving the Russian Empire, hero of many wars, WIA in 1812 and died from the wounds later. These two lines were written soon after the Ossetian war of 2008.)

This woman was a journalist and was attacked when she was together with a lawyer. If you call it "gang warfare", can you tell us what kind of weeapons these two people carried, how much ammo for each weapon and how many attackers did they shoot in their last battle?

Well,to be honest,Russian anti - fascist and skinhead gangs,at least in Moscow, are very similar in their structure and membership and constantly attack one another just like commies and nazis in 1930s Germany did.This Baburova woman was a well known radical leftist and probably was targeted together with that lawyer.This one was not a case of extremism just gang warfare.Russian Orthodox religion has always been weak due to faithlessness of its leaders and without state support could not stand against any strong set of beliefs.Those ancient religionist fossils are simply pathetic.

i thought that russian government was doin it

These must've been the same that recently ordered the killing of a Russian lawyer and the woman reporter that was with him in the street.
