Freedom House: Россия в списке диктаторских режимов

Экономические трудности могут дестабилизировать социальную ситуацию в ряде стран постсоветского пространства, а миграционный кризис провоцирует ксенофобию, национализм и тормозит реформы в странах Восточной Европы, считает правозащитная организация Freedom House.
Об этом говорится в опубликованном ежегодном докладе о "Странах переходного типа", в котором оценивается развитие демократии в 29 государствах бывшего Советского Союза, Балканского региона и Центральной Европы.
Самым деспотичным названо правление в семи республиках бывшего СССР, в которых не менее 10 лет у власти находятся диктаторы, это - Россия, Азербайджан, Белоруссия, Казахстан, Таджикистан, Узбекистан и Туркмения.
По оценкам Freedom House, из-за падения мировых цен на нефть и газ, а также в результате санкций США и ЕС против России и российских контрсанкций - экономика постсоветских стран оказалась на грани краха. Из-за этого растет потенциал социального протеста.
Как заявил в интервью радио «Свобода» Нэйт Шенккан - директор проектов Freedom House для стран переходного типа, в ответ на экономические трудности руководители таких стран стремятся ужесточить государственный контроль над всеми сферами жизни. В России, например, по словам Шенккана, резко усилился авторитаризм Путина, ширится наступление на гражданское общество.

The Englishman

Chin up, head down

At 19, Rifleman Cyrus Thatcher was one of the youngest victims of the Afghan war. These letters - given to The Independent by his family - reveal the excitement of a teenager sent to fulfil his dream, and his maturity in confronting the possibility that he might not make it home.
In the spring of 2009, the 2nd Battalion, The Rifles deployed to Afghanistan. Halfway through the battalion's tour, it has lost nine soldiers, with dozens injured.
Of those to have given their lives, four were teenagers. Here Rifleman Cyrus Thatcher, who was 19 when he was killed by an explosion near Gereshk seven weeks ago, tells his own story, through letters home and the last letter he left behind to bid farewell to his family – his mother Helena, father Robin and brothers Zac, 21, and Steely, 17.
Following are the words of a proud soldier described by his officers as possessing "a rucksack full of potential", and by his friends as a rascal always cracking jokes and helping to keep morale high. Most of all, they are the words of a young son to his mum, dad and brothers.

Barsick & Musya

Barsick is my he cat. He is a native Muscovite. He is 4 years old.
We saw together with Barsick a lot of things - the wicked persecutions of the KGB (FSB), the travel for political asylum to Georgia, the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Israel.
Barsick much flown by plane, traveled by train and underground, by cars and buses.
Musya is a cat of my sister. She is 12 years old. She is a homebody. All her life she spent at home, in the same flat. In summer she looks
at outside world only through open window.






Day by day

Tuesday, February, 02, 2016 

I've entered this morning in my sister room and seen the touching picture of Barsick and Musya sleeping serenely nearby on sofa. 


Tuesday, October, 20, 2015 

Dull weather. Russian autumn.
My he cat Barsick many times already watches the "BEST Video For Cats Ever!" as a blockbuster. It's really interesting - pretty squirrels, chipmunks, birds, butterflies, small coloured fishes, all kinds of games... Very interesting. Barsick empathizes what is happening on screen and tries to get the "actors" with his paw.
She cat Musya is sleeping somewhere. She didn't appear still and didn't eat today yet. 
Behold Musya has appeared lastly. She has stretched, then sharpened her claws on upholstery of a chair and again disappeared.

No Saracens!

To hate such a cruel barbarian and false religion as Islam and its preachers is not racism and xenophobia.
Like is not racism to hate Arabic ISIS, Chinese or North Korean Communists or cannibals from the famous book "Robinson Crusoe".
From this ignorant brutal totalitarian sect "Islam" came out nothing except despotism, intolerance, medieval obscurantism, cutting off heads and arms, flogging and burning alive in cages.

В чем сходство гитлеровского нацизма и мусульман, ислама в Западной Европе кроме их нечеловеческой жестокости, нетерпимости и варварства? 
В том, что и нацисты, и сарацины - мусульмане Европы, используют права, предоставляемые им западной буржуазной демократией (свобода слова, свобода совести, "толерантность", "нет - расизму", "нет - исламофобии" и т.д.) для того, чтобы уничтожить впоследствии и эту демократию, и вообще всю европейскую цивилизацию. 

Секулярная, демократическая, языческая по сути, деморализованная Западная Европа и агрессивная жестокая тоталитарная секта ислам. Моральное и физическое противоборство здесь явно не в пользу первой.
Европа могла бы принять многие миллионы иммигрантов из Азии и Африки без всякого ущерба для себя, для цивилизации, если бы она была такой же религиозной, такой же христианской, такой же католической, какой она была 100 или 200 лет назад. Если бы перед каждым иммигрантом стояло как обязательное условие въезда в Европу - принятие христианства. Агрессивность Католической Церкви ничем не уступала тогда, два или три века назад, агрессивности ислама. Жёсткий контроль священника над повседневной жизнью прихожанина, катехизация, регулярная Исповедь, неуклонно каждое воскресенье - Месса, Литургия в храме. Менталитет, психология, мировоззрение бывшего мусульманина изменялись бы очень быстро и необратимо. Этническая принадлежность (араб, турок или китаец) уже не имели бы никакого значения.
Огромная территория России особенно нуждается для освоения во многих миллионах иммигрантов.
Но теперь на печальном опыте Западной Европы уже совершенно очевидно, что эти миллионы иммигрантов неизбежно должны принимать Православие, прежде чем получить право проживать в России. Причем их Православие должно быть не формальным, а реальным. Процесс их духовного перерождения должен находиться под особо пристальным вниманием, пастырством, Русской Православной Церкви. Раньше - в переписях царской России понятие "православный" и "русский" были синонимами.
В принципе ислам, мусульмане, равно как и буддизм, и прочие псевдорелигии должны быть вообще искоренены в России, но это, конечно, дело очень далекой исторической перспективы.
