elections in russia: and what you better not expect
http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/4502826/
<i>(...) Voters complained of intimidation and attempted bribery in what election observers called a coordinated effort to boost United Russia's results in the State Duma vote on Sunday. Golos, the only independent Russian monitoring group, said it received more than 3,500 calls on its complaints hotline. "We know for certain that this is just a drop in the ocean," said Grigory Melkonyants, Golos' deputy head. "We are seeing serious violations that we are afraid will just be ignored." (...)</i><br />
<br />
one couldn't say that this was not expected to happen. nevertheless it is interesting to look more closely to the ways in which misuse happened. <a href="http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2007/12/03/011.html">moscow times reports</a>.<br />
<br />
with regard to the results of the russian elections, <a href="http://www.robertamsterdam.com/">robert amsterdam</a>, who followed the elections closely, makes us aware of the following posting: <a href="http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2007/12/D608F697-5A09-4240-B45D-13637DAE9D6B.html">five myths about the elections</a>.

<i>(...) Die Partei "Geeintes Russland" mit Präsident Wladimir Putin als Spitzenkandidat hat ihr Ergebnis bei der Parlamentswahl jüngsten Auszählungen zufolge noch verbessert. Nach Auswertung von 98 Prozent der Wahlzettel lag sie mit 64,1 Prozent haushoch vorne, wie die Wahlkommission am Montag bekanntgab. Zweitstärkste Kraft wurde die oppositionelle Kommunistische Partei mit 11,6 Prozent. Die ultranationalistische LDPR von Wladimir Schirinowski kam demnach auf 8,2 Prozent der Stimmen, gefolgt von der Mitte-Links-Partei "Gerechtes Russland", die mit 7,8 Prozent ebenfalls den Sprung über die Sieben-Prozenthürde schaffte. Beide Parteien stehen hinter Putin. (...)</i></p>

Nicht allein die Propaganda der Staatsfernsehkanäle und die Unterdrückung jeglicher unkontrollierbarer Opposition machen die Wahl zu einer Farce, sondern das System Putin selbst, in dem Politik in undurchschaubaren Prozessen hinter den Kremlzinnen und in den ergodynamischen Büros der Polittechnologen entworfen wird.

kerch: new environmental desasters old political battles
http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/4448829/
facing one of the biggest ecologigical desasters in the black sea region, one would think russia and ucraine will work together to combat the oil spill. no, on the contrary: political tensions are on the rise and old land disputes are taken up again in. there are elections in russia:<br />
<br />
<i>(...) The largest sea disaster in the modern history of Russia and Ukraine is turning into a political scandal. Deputy head of the Russian Federal Natural Resources Supervision Service (Rosprirodnadzor) Oleg Mitvol has proposed building a temporary dam from Tuzla Spit, which is Ukrainian territory and has been an island since the 1920s, to the Russian shore. Mitvol says that is the only way to prevent the pollution of the Sea of Azov with fuel oil from the recent oil spill the Strait of Kerch. The idea has caused a storm of emotion in Ukraine. Ukrainian politicians see the proposal as a renewal of an old land dispute and Russian electioneering.(...) </i>

<br />
the <a href="http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/136014/Chamane/overview">new york times</a> movie review states:<br />
<i>(...) Gorgeously shot in the wide-open Siberian wilderness this outdoor adventure chronicles the dramatic escape of a big-city bred violinist from a Siberian labor camp.

</p><p><a href="http://www.economist.com/world/europe/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10102921">the economist reports (ENG)</a> how history is supposed to be interpreted nowadays in russia:<br />
<br />
<i>(...) RUSSIA'S past was admirable, its present is more than magnificent and as for its futureit is beyond anything that the boldest mind can imagine. Thus Count Alexander Benckendorff in the 1830s, on how Russia's history should be viewed and written. This advice from the head of the country's first secret police is now being heeded in the Kremlin, where a new Russian history is being forged.<br />
<br />
The decade after the collapse of communism was notable for the absence of any official ideology. Weary of grand designs, the Russian elite preferred pragmatism and enrichment. Asked about his national dream in 2004, President Vladimir Putin said that it was to make Russia competitive. But Russia's new oil-driven strength and its aspirations to be a world player have once more created a demand for something more victorious and uplifting. And as Mr Putin looks for ways to stay in power after his second presidential term expires next March, his ideological comrades are placing him in a gallery of Russia's great leaders, a quasi-tsar (...) </i></p><i><br />

<i> (...) Pro-Kremlin youth groups, backed by police, are in the final stages of preparations to inundate the city with tens of thousands of loyal teens with orders to prevent an Orange-style revolution in the lead-up to the Dec. 2 State Duma elections.<br />
Few of the conditions that led to Ukraine's 2006 Orange Revolution or the Rose Revolution a year earlier in Georgia are present in Russia, however, and opposition youth groups say they aren't looking for a confrontation. But this isn't stopping the authorities from confining them to the periphery anyway.<br />
Activists from Nashi, Young Guard and Young Russia have been pouring into schools, universities, clubs and bars nationwide to spread one message among Russia's youngest electorate: It is your duty to vote for United Russia, the party of President Vladimir Putin (...) </i>

<cite>the veterans had some kind of a get-together at hotel rossiya - there were hundreds of them there, and as they were walking back to their buses, it was so sad to realize that these were the remnants of a generation - the generation whose lives were ruined by the war, among other things.</cite>
<br>and if you would like to have more of this, also visit <a href="http://vkhokhl.blogspot.com/2005/04/some-victory-day-related-pictures-are.html"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> neekas other blog</a>. by accident I found also on moscow news: a <a href="http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/04/28/veterprotest.shtml"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> report</a> on a russian ww2 veteran, who rejects a anniversary medal in protest of poverty.</p>
wer mehr über die bedeutung des "tages des sieges" (8.mai) in russland lesen will, dem sei folgender <a href="http://www6.dw-world.de/de/1963.php"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> beitrag</a> der deutschen welle angeraten! wie meinte bundespräsident fischer <a href="http://www.oe-journal.at/Aktuelles/!2005/0405/W4/3280460BpFischer.htm"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> anläßlich der republiksfeiern</a>: der tag sei für österreich nicht niederlage, sondern befreiung gewesen.

als sauseschritt 1995 diese szene im kino sah, war vielleicht schon die idee vom photolocationhunt geboren. vielleicht ist es tatsächlich diese zwangsvorstellung, auf alten fotografien mit den augen von heute etwas bislang unentdecktes zu sehen und zu finden. vielleicht geht es auch um das symbol des verstorbenen menschen, der plötzlich, unvermutet aber doch immer schon gesucht, auf einem dieser bilder auftaucht.
<br>diesmal ein fundstück aus st. petersburg. in einem buchladen am nevskij prospekt, unweit der brücke über die mojka, findet sauseschritt jene ansichtskarten, die offenbar zum jubiläum der stadt st. petersburg produziert wurden:

die moskauer metro
http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/351385/
<p style="border-color:white; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; padding:3px align="center"><i>used in their decoration are more than twenty varieties of marble coming from the urals, altai, central asia, the caucasus and ukraine, as well as labrodorite, granite, porphyry, rhodonite, onyx and other natural stones (...) the moscow underground was designed and built by emminent soviet architects who aimed not at utility and comfort but gave every station a unique look,</i> one reads in the little booklet containing excellent pictures of the moscow metro lines. you can read <a href="http://www.moscow-guide.ru/transport/metro.htm"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> more </a>in the official website.</p>
<img title="" height="400" alt="metro0" width="289" align="left" class="left" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/metro0.jpg" />
tatsächlich befremdet bzw. verwundert der monumenale stil der u-bahnstationen moskaus die besucher/innen aus dem "westen" nicht nur in seiner ästhetik. das mühevolle entziffern der kyrillika, die fremdheit des leitsystems und die verwirrende vielfalt der übergänge, hallen, ausgänge und bahnsteige machen die benutzung der metro zu einer nur mit größter konzentration zu bewältigenden aufgabe. diese kann auch von durchschnittlich begabten nur nach mehrwöchiger benutzung mit würde und gelassenheit gemeistert werden.
<br>im vestibül der metrostation "ploschad revoliutsij" steht ein ärmlich gekleideter, verwirrter moskauer sonderling, der in verständlichem englisch nervöse touristen anspricht, um seine unterstützung bei der navigation durch das labyrinth anzubieten. die meisten eilen an ihm vorbei, der peinlichen belästigung entfliehend. erst dann, wenn den unerfahrenen passagieren aufgrund völliger desorientiertheit nichts anderes übrig bleibt, als wieder zur oberfläche der stadt aufzutauchen, erinnern sie sich an den mann. er hat wohl in all seiner verwirrtheit die rechte hilfe angeboten.
<br>und wie beurteilt unsere moskowiter freundin die wiener u-bahn, auf die wien so stolz zu sein scheint? ihr war sie zu unansehnlich, zu nüchtern und viel zu technoid. dies ist, angesichts der moskauer metrostationen tatsächlich ein bedenkenswertes urteil und spricht gegen das noch immer im westen weitverbreitete vorurteil: jenes von der eintönigkeit russischer alltagskultur.

<br> die idee ist nicht neu, das wusste sauseschritt ohnehin, aber sie in russland anzutreffen, war nun doch überraschend. zunächst einmal in der drittgrößten stadt russlands, in <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nischni_Nowgorod"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> nischni novgorod </a>................

beslan, kyoto und mediales vergessen
http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/349453/
<img title="" height="256" alt="klima" width="171" align="left" class="left" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/klima.jpg" /><p style="border-color:white; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; padding:3px align="center"> <i>in beslan, they are filling in the holes. the cemetery on the road from the airport is a sprawling mass of upturned earth, each fresh grave marked out from the surrounding mud by a perimeter of red bricks. the flowers and bare wooden stick crosses jut out from the rough grazing pasture, </i><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/russia/article/0,2763,1315930,00.html"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> the online guardian</a> reminds us. it is worth to spend some time to read this article not to let us forget what seems to have us made so deeply touched only a few weeks ago.</p>
manchmal, denkt sauseschritt, vergehen auch die emotionen in einem tempo, das atemberaubend und zugleich höchst bedenklich ist. denn irgendwie und irgendwann werden wir wieder mit dem schrecken konfrontiert werden. beslan ist in der westlichen medienlandschaft schon vergessen. wenn es aber stimmt, das uns die ereignisse erschüttert haben und freud recht hat, dass verdrängtes in perverser form wieder ins bewußtsein (und damit in unsere handlungen) drängt, dann: prost, mahlzeit. politiker haben den medial beschleunigten verdrängungsmechanismus längst für ihre ziele nutzbar gemacht. während sich die ökologisch denkende welt vielleicht zu uneingeschränkt über die absichtserklärung russlands freut, das <a href="http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/convkp/kpeng.html"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> kyoto abkommen</a> zu unterzeichnen, verengt putin weiterhin den demokratischen spielraum russlands bei der sgn. lösung des tschetschenien problems. die faz macht darauf <a href="http://www.faz.net/s/RubFC06D389EE76479E9E76425072B196C3/Doc~E138854E2707A4753BC6B50C4D71DCD94~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> aufmerksam</a>:
<cite>in rußland sehen Beobachter die entscheidung zum jetzigen zeitpunkt als versuch, dem negativen internationalen echo auf putins pläne zur terrorbekämpfung nach dem geiseldrama von beslan entgegenzutreten. sie waren im westen als weitere einschränkung der demokratie in rußland bewertet worden. in dieser woche hatten mehr als hundert namhafte politiker und intellektuelle aus europa und den vereinigten staaten putin in einem offenen brief als kommenden diktator angegriffen.</cite>
über jenen brief hat u.a. auch die <a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,1564,1342795,00.html"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> deutsche welle</a> berichtet. wie schnell alles in vergessenheit gerät, dafür spricht auch die stellungnahme der österreichischen grünen, die in ihrer presseaussendung den oben skizzierten zusammenhang in keiner weise kommentieren. nun ja, auch frau glawischnig <a href="http://www.gruene.at/themen.php?tid=27962&kid=28&PHPSESSID=4474f7d7e335409921de7891a2efcaaa"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> macht halt "nur" realpolitik</a>, denkt sauseschritt mit ihn manchmal bedrängender resignation.

moskau: vereschagin, levitan, grabar und pasternak
http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/343342/
<p style="border-color:white; border-width:2px; border-style:solid; padding:3px align="center"><i>the work of vasily vereshagin, a painter of battle scenes, has a special niche in the history of russian art of the second half of the nineteenth century. he was, perhaps, the only great master not belonging to the society for circulating art exhibition but, just as they, was moved by a general interest in the life of the masses. he saw his task in revealing the truth of war to his viewers by means of paint to show them wahat a disgusting, dismal and colossal evil the battlefield was. he depicted war as a display of barbarism, as a threat to civilisation.</i> <br>(official guide of the tretyakov gallery, p.45)</p>
<img title="" height="235" alt="vereschagin" width="400" align="center" class="center" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/vereschagin.jpg" />
wie, geneigte leser/innen halten sie es mit einem museumsbesuch? sind auch sie eine/r jener bewundernswerten vollständigkeitsfanatiker/innen, die mit ernst und gemessenheit von gemälde zu gemälde schreiten, der vollständigkeit genüge tun, um letztendlich alles, aber auch alles gesehen und gelesen zu haben?
<br>sauseschritt ist damit restlos überfordert und macht dem namen alle ehre. s. eilt durch die hallen, sichtet die exponate mit entschlossenem blick und wählt dann aus, was tatsächlich betrachtet werden will und nicht, was rücksichtslose kurator/inn/en als zumutbar empfinden. als lohn winken dafür wahre bilderlebnisse. und gerade hier, in jenem teil der <a href="http://www.tretyakovgallery.ru/english/"><img title="" height="11" alt="remote_a" width="11" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/remote_a.gif" /> tretyakov gallerie</a>, in der die russische malerei des 18. und 19. jahrhunderts versammelt ist, bewährt sich sauseschritts ekklektizismus aufs beste. ein kleiner auszug aus der tagebuchnotiz vom 14. august 2004:
<cite><br><b>(1)</b> die entdeckung der großflächigen bilder vereschagins (1842-1904) über den krieg in kaukasien und die eroberung des orients: ein wenig finde ich mich an die <a href="http://sauseschritt.twoday.net/stories/122634/"> [orientausstellung in der hermesvilla ...]</a> erinnert.
<br><b>(2)</b> älter und auch ein wenig alt werden: das für mich beeindruckendste gemälde von I.I. levitan (1860-1900) nennt sich "ewiger friede". eine landschaft, die mich stark an jene von kizhi erinnert. im vordergrund ein kleines holzkirchlein auf einem hügel, dahinter und bis in die ferne weite flusslandschaft und ein fast gekrümmter horizont. viel zuversicht!
<img title="" height="295" alt="levitan" width="400" align="center" class="center" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/levitan.jpg" />
<br> <b>(3)</b> für e. notiere ich i.e. grabar (1871 - 1960) mit seinem bild "februar azur" aus dem jahr 1904, auf der eine birke bläulich in einer gleißenden winterlandschaft flimmert.</cite>
<img title="" height="400" alt="grabar" width="230" align="center" class="center" src="http://static.twoday.net/sauseschritt/images/grabar.jpg" />
<br>nur das bild von l.o. pasternak kann ich - wieder zuhause angekommen - im netz nirgends auftreiben. "nachrichten aus der heimat": drei soldaten in einer schäbigen kasernenkammer, nachrichten von zuhause nachsinnend. da wäre sauseschritt über hinweise der geschätzten bloggerkolleg/innen dankbar!
