The bastards
SIA CHECHENPRESS, November 12, 2007
How congenial! – this is what the bastard son of a Turkish subject, the infamous Ostap Bender, would have said had he heard the recent news reports by Radio Liberty and looked through a number of Chechen websites.
Yulia Latynina was a genius herself when she called Chechnya ‘Putin’s most successful project’. Subh’analla! How right she was!
Everyone, even the goats, knew about the planned raid on Dagestan in the summer of 1999. I even remember that the date had been moved two weeks and there was a heated discussion in the Central market of the reason for the change, with people trying to guess when they would start bombing Grozny.
The only ones silent were the government and the parliament of Ichkeriya. They never made the required statements and delivered their people to the next war.
The attackers were booted out of Dagestan and with the successful conclusion of the first stage in the Baisangur operation, or perhaps, it was called Kazi-mullah, it was the Chechens themselves who started the war (we could argue long and hard here that the war was in fact inevitable, but nobody could ever argue against the fact that it was the Chechens who’d provoked it).
So the war which Putin needed so much, happened and it happened with our help.
Later, when the public opinion in Russia was beginning to wake up to the events with the increased arrival of the so-called loads-200, they cleverly used the Chechens once again in order to manoeuvre the situation 180 degrees, by staging the Nord-Ost [hostage crisis]. The European lobby then considerably distanced itself from the issue of Chechnya.
Then came Beslan. Two weeks later, when Europe pinned Putin down demanding that he explain the enormous number of victims during the release of the hostages, Udugov saved Putin’s face by publishing his ‘ingenious’ statement about the operation having been carried out by the Resistance forces despite the fact that the ChRI President was denying any involvement of the Chechen armed forces and was himself ready to step in as one of the negotiators to release the hostages.
In those days even the most stalwart of our friends faltered.
Putin´s Federal Security Service had used Chechens to successfully carry out all the three operations. Those three acts of blatant terrorism had led to a new escalation of full scale war against ordinary people, to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people including tens of thousands of children, to the death of innocent people at Dubrovka, to the growing aggression and bitterness felt towards Chechens all over Russia, to the fabrication of criminal cases and conviction of innocent Chechens, including Chechen girls sentenced to long prison sentences in category A penal colonies.
The Beslan tragedy took a heavy toll of children´s lives, what can be worse and more terrible than this? Yet by using Basaev, the deputy prime minister of the ChRI government, as a cover, Udugov had shifted the blame for the FSB operation to the Chechen people.
We have never heard, not once, the appropriate statements from our Parliament and our government, who had not supported Maskhadov and Zakaev, who had abandoned them during that situation, so critical to the Chechen Resistance. They had all agreed to shift the blame for those terrorist outrages onto the people who had been drawn by Udugov’s ‘Islamic order’ into a monstrous war and made into a ‘terrorist people’.
Why were you so afraid of him – you, members of parliament and of government? You have never uttered a single word of truth about him. You’ve never admitted that those notorious operations, which Udugov had rested with the Chechens, had in fact been carried out by the FSB and that Russia had got what it wanted. And what have we, the Chechens,, got? Nothing positive. We have been dropped [in the shit], once again. Or rather, we have dropped ourselves [in that shit].
After that there was a successful ‘chechenisation’ of the conflict. The government websites report with glee and open delight the murders of national traitors, collaborationists and others, presenting them as successful military operations, pretending that the Russians no longer exist or have ceased to be our enemies. It seems that Ichkeriya’s mission at present is to kill as many as possible of its own Chechen people!
Udugov is very effective. Not one of his openly anti-constitutional statements or speeches about the Chechen statehood has been given a suitable rebuff by even the most ardent and constant of Constitution’s defenders, A. Idigov. Hey, Akh’ad, where are you, why are you silent? Why don’t you try to defend the Constitution from Udugov?
Everything has been going according to an ingenious plan. First came the bomb explosions in Moscow and Volgodonsk’s high-rise buildings, which the Chechen side was agreeing to claim the responsiblity for in the Beslan note. Then the Dagestan raid, then Nord-Ost, followed by Beslan, the creation of the new fronts in the neighbouring republics with any terrorist act blamed immediately on the Chechens. Now the war is raging in Ingushetiya, Dagestan, we remember the repressions in Nalchik, Cherkessk. Our neighbours have every right to accuse the Chechens of bringing the war onto their soil.
Even without additional problems, the peoples – now the subjects of the freshly proclaimed North Caucasus Emirate - are not particularly fond of the Chechens who they consider the source of all their troubles, and our relations with them are far from good.
The Russian public has been completely convinced that the government of Ichkeriya condones terrorist activities, and that the representatives of its Parliament and government in Europe are Ichkeriya’s emissaries.
The Chechens are getting sick of heroes, of self-appointed fake fathers who can show no example which would give us hope or put the minds of the Chechen people at rest. All we get from them is hot air, lies and hypocrisy.
Putin used the Chechens in order to drive a wedge between our peoples, to set the Chechens against their neighbours. He has created a government in Chechnya to act as his spear carrier, has appointed his own president. And now the most important stage has been reached – the Chechen resistance has been divided. We are devouring ourselves.
Who is to blame for all these things? Putin, perhaps? No. Putin is a clever cookie, the bastard. Udugov? No, he is also a clever cookie, and a bastard.
Who is to blame for the fact that we have been dropped [in the shit] once more? Who else, if not our leaders? Who else, if not our members of parliament, the people’s choice? Our people have put their trust and hope in you.
You did not renounce the Dagestan march, you did not renounce Nord-Ost, nor did you renounce Beslan. You could not care less about the image of your own people, all you cared about was your own image.
You have not even found it in yourselves to speak in defence of the 100 000 Chechens, the diaspora in Europe, although you are part of this diaspora, when Udugov’s websites using the AZK, DDK, SKZhD and other bastard voicers, hiding behind these abbreviations and women’s names, were bad-mouthing them.
Not once did you state that Udugov, the author of the second Chechen war, who had fled with his ‘Islamic order’ and his four wives to Turkey, could not be a father of our nation and has no right to seal the fate of our ancient people when his own ancestry is quite questionable.
But the people have made their choice, they have survived without your help and in spite of you. You are doomed today to destroy the idea of independence and to destroy each other. This is Putin’s and Udugov’s ingenuity and congeniality of this idea.
All that remains to be done in this situation is to wish luck to A.Zakaev who has been standing all alone against the genius idiots of Ichkeriya, has been dealt many a blow by them, has forseen this outcome from the start, and yet has not named the real enemies each by their name. I suppose, ‘nakhala tsa dovlijta’. Subx’analla! Khin k1hun nakhala dovla dezara vay!?
The actions he has taken should have been made by our government and our parliament at the time, when Udugov and Co had brought the republic to the brink of war. Could Zakaev’s efforts change anything in the present situation? The Emirate is already having an effect: the Togliatti explosion has been blamed on Djundulla – the Emir of the Volga Front. In fact there is no difference whether they say it was Djundulla or not, it is still the ‘Chechen footprint’.
The bastards have completely hijacked the idea of Chechnya’s independence with the connivance and indecision of the government and the parliament of Ichkeriya and today Zh. Saralyapov’s statement of the need to report back about the work which has been carried out by the Parliament sounds simply ridiculous. Udugov has already published a report about your work.
I think, somehow, that you would not publish my letter. Which would not surprise me one little bit. You never required my opinion, so I don’t need yours now, until you finally speak the truth! Just tell me this – what are you now, and what are we?
