Anyone harming Russia should be exterminated, says Andrei Lugovoy


http://www.balsas.lt/12/16/lugovoi_px600.jpg


The Kremlin has hardened its stance against dissent in Russia by expanding the definition of treason to include critics of the state.

A new Bill submitted to the Duma, the Russian parliament, on Friday will leave people vulnerable to prosecution for acts considered to threaten not only national security but also the country's constitutional order. Critics said that it was designed to intimidate opposition to the Kremlin at a time of rising economic discontent.

Details of the Bill emerged as the man accused by Britain of murdering Alexander Litvinenko, the dissident former spy, said that anyone harming the Russian State should be killed. Andrei Lugovoy, who is now a member of the Duma, said that he would order the assassination of anyone considered a traitor if he were in the Russian President's shoes.

“If someone has caused the Russian state serious damage, they should be exterminated,” Mr Lugovoy, a former KGB officer, told the Spanish newspaper El País. “Do I think someone could have killed Litvinenko in the interests of the Russian State? If you're talking about the interests of the Russian State, in the purest sense of the word, I myself would have given that order.

“I'm not talking about Litvinenko but about any person who causes serious damage.”

Mr Litvinenko, a fierce critic of the former President Vladimir Putin, died in exile in London in November 2006 after being poisoned with radioactive polonium-210. Mr Lugovoy denies killing him.

The Bill defines treason as “a deed aimed against security of the Russian Federation, including her constitutional order, sovereignty, territorial and state integrity”. The present law restricts prosecutions to “acts aimed at damaging external security”.

The measure also threatens to revive the Soviet-era habit of placing under suspicion anyone who has contact with foreigners. It gives warning that people could be guilty of treason for “rendering financial or material and technical or consultative support to ... a foreign organisation”.

The amendment raises the spectre of people falling under suspicion for giving interviews critical of the Kremlin to foreign journalists.

The definition of foreign bodies is also being expanded to include international organisations, which the note said had sought repeatedly to obtain Russia's secrets through illegal methods.

A note to the Bill said that it would ease investigations by the Federal Security Service, the successor to the KGB. The Russian newspaper Kommersant headlined its report on the proposals as “Betrayal of the Motherland - the business of everyone”.

Mr Putin attacked foreign organisations when he was President, suggesting that many were fronts for Western governments to promote unrest. He imposed heavy reporting rules on non-governmental organisations, requiring them to obtain official approval of annual plans of work.

Boris Nadezhdin, a law lecturer at Moscow university and a senior official with Right Cause, a new Kremlin-approved liberal party, said that the latest reform was an “act of intimidation” drawn from the Stalin era. The authorities would be able to use the powers to suppress opposition activity.

Gennadi Gudkov, the deputy head of the Duma security committee, denied that the Kremlin could accuse anyone of treason, explaining that “not everyone has access to state secrets”.

Mr Putin's United Russia party holds two thirds of seats in the Duma so the Bill is certain to become law. The amendments were presented on the same day that the Duma restored the Soviet practice of allowing judges to decide cases against people accused of violent crimes and civil disturbances.

Police arrested 90 demonstrators in Moscow and 60 in St Petersburg on Sunday for staging anti-Kremlin protests. Garry Kasparov, the chess champion and critic of Mr Putin, and Boris Nemtsov, a former Deputy Prime Minister, founded a movement to try to unite democratic opposition to the regime.

President Medvedev ordered police chiefs last month to take harsher measures against social unrest and bring charges, saying: “Otherwise there won't be any order.”

Russian authorities fear that the economic crisis could spark protests as unemployment rises and incomes fall. There are expectations that the rouble will be devalued by as much as 25 per cent in the new year.

Let's execute whoever attends the G-8 summit, works in one of the numerous UN programs, is a current Russian ambassador, works as a technical expert for a non-Russian organization, teaches outside of Russia, and oh well, all Russian expats to stay on the safe side.

It's quite funny really Luguvoy might be putting himself in the frame here ;-)

After all it's a matter of public record that he met with Alexander Litvinenko in London. If he didn't murder Litvinenko (which he says he didn't) then he was by his own admission consorting with an alleged traitor to Russia.

So when's he going to get a 7.62 in the back of the head in the cellars of the Lubyanka then? :)

Anybody threatening Israel should be exterminated...

Anybody threatening (insert religion here) should be exterminated...
Anybody threatening 'merica should be exterminated...
Anybody threatening extermination should be exterminated... oops.

Anybody thinking that a Russian speaking Duma making laws in Russian cannot be made to look aggressive simply by mistranslating the actual wording when repeating it in English by devious reporters on a slow news day should be exterminated.

Everyone wants laws that will help them deal with threats. Some of the worst are being enacted under the guise of the war on terrorism. Perhaps this story is part of the "it is bad here but it is much worse in Russia" campaign. Still waiting for someone to post the new law in Latvia that bans all foreign language from the work place that is intent on stopping people speaking Russian but can also be applied to any other language except Latvian including Frence and German and English.

I'm wondering, Will the Transgressors in Latvia who speak a Foreign Language be executed? Because from this source, the Russian Government could execute a wide variety of persons under this laws guise, no?

If the source is wrong, Correct it with your sources....

By the way if you feel so strongly about the Latvian law, why dont YOU start the thread, since it seems your the one who knows so much about it?

And guess what the chief of IMF is worried about the same thing.
http://www.*******.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE4BE2LX20081215


"A lot remains to be done and if this work is not done it will be difficult to avoid a long lasting crisis that everyone wants to avoid," he said during a conference on IMF-Spanish relations.
He saw violent protests spreading unless the financial system was reorganized to benefit everyone, and not just a small elite.
"If we are not able to do that, then social unrest may happen in many places, including advanced economies," he added.


Of course being a Russian politician Lugovoy was not too shy on words.

Membership of the EU and NATO seems to be the only defence from claims of not respecting civil rights it seems. :roll:

But Medvedev is in the Presidents shoes.


“I'm not talking about Litvinenko but about any person who causes serious damage.”


Because from this source, the Russian Government could execute a wide variety of persons under this laws guise, no?

No. From this source it is a bill that has been submitted and the variety of people that should be worried about it are those that intend to or have done serious harm to Russian national security or threatens constitutional order.

I severely doubt this bull**** would be allowed to pass. First I heard of it. Which Russian nowadays hasn't got contact with foreigners? Seriously, I can't think of a single Russian who hasn't got contact to at least 1 foreigner.

Lugovoy is a joke.

Two thirds of Russians use Internet and third of the country are regular users. How can we even seriously talk about any government control over citizen's contacts with statistics like that? Internet has been avaliable in Russia for almoast 20 years now, and widely spread for the last 10. Totalitarian systems and Internet simply don't work together (IMHO Internet is the ultimate indicator of the level of freedom and exchange of information in any given country).

Lugovoy is another clown similar to Zhirinovsky. "Crazy ex-KGB strong man" is an image created by some PR outfit (same as it was done with Zhirinovsky, who is not so crazy in private life).

Lugovoy looks like a joke, but has anybody checked the sources? Did he actually say that, or was he deliberately mistranslated or misquoted?

On important issues I usually try to check Western sources, because you cannot automatically take everything they write about Russia as the truth.

Unfortunately alternative sources are not always available.

Interviews radio «Echo of Moscow» of 06.11.2006 (fragment)

A. PLYUSCHEV: I remember before the Iraq war in 2003, the film went on the Internet, even in the State Duma was hearing.

V. Zhirinovsky: Yes.

A. PLYUSCHEV: Where people are like you said about Bush, about a dirty green paper, remember this, yes?

V. Zhirinovsky: Yes.

A. PLYUSCHEV: About what better together dolbanut in Tbilisi, and so on. You have it or you do not tell me.

V. Zhirinovsky: This is my take from all my speeches, they took my words, a sense was what I was there at the last, 8 th international conference in support of Iraq. Delivered there anything that does not show. And when pick up my words when I just talked with the Iraqis, he explained how to advocate, because my first maiden career - spetspropaganda, I am ready to do so. I explained to them how to place anti-American propaganda in Iraq.

This narifmovali, assembled and mounted somewhere without my permission show. You show me officially, I arrived in Baghdad to attend eight conferences, I went there once or twice a year, eight conferences, the whole world is going in Iraq. This does not show. And somewhere in there to make up different materials, they said, here said, and this piece somewhere, so to speak, exposed. I am against this, I have these personnel are not allowed any form, nor do. A phrase such I have heard.
