A brief blurb on that here with several related links of interest.
Meanwhile, in Chechnya -- Damme!
And near the cold, "ecologically unfortunate," lonely Siberian outpost of Norilsk-- Putin (of course)!
From abstracts of February 9-10, 2011 with pictures by Arsen Tomsky:
“Recently Putin visited Norilsk and he promised 10 billion for moving pensioners, 10 for city development and other 10 for something.”
“People are really good, hospital. It’s easy to find a common language. Economy is active, but no growth is noticed and no declines felt, business works.”
History:
The Norilsk (Norillag) uprising was the first major revolt within the Gulag system in the summer of 1953, shortly after Joseph Stalin's death. Estimates put the total number of its inmates over the history of the camp at 400,000, with about 300,000 being political prisoners. According to the archives of Norillag, 16,806 prisoners died in Norilsk under the conditions of forced labor, starvation, and intense cold throughout the existence of the camp (1935–1956).
May such culture never be forgotten and end very soon.
Finally, it seems, that the end for Vladimir Putin has possibly been predestined.
Remains to be seen . . .
