Putin-Jugend osoitti mieltään Suomen lähetystöllä

Media_httpmestnyerufi_bucqe

Moskovan oblastin kuvernöörin Boris Gromovin tukema nuorisojärjestö Mestnyje (suom. Paikalliset) järjesti maanantaina mielenosoituksen Suomen Moskovan suurlähetystön edessä. Joukko syytti Suomen evankelis-luterilaista kirkkoa terrorismin tukemisesta. Espoon tuomiokapituli tutkii tällä hetkellä, onko Pohjan suomalaisen seurakunnan kirkkoherra Juha Molari syyllistynyt pappisviran haltijalle sopimattomaan käytökseen. Mielenosoittajien mukaan tämä on osoitus siitä, että kirkko on myynyt itsensä terroristeille.

Western Companies Back Nashist Youth Camp

Media_httpwwwgztrufup_gwgeq

A row of wooden stakes with puppet heads stood planted in a forest camp along Seliger Lake in central Russia attended by 20,000 young Russians in July 2010. Mounted above the heads was a large red slogan in Russian, declaring "We are not glad to see you here."

The puppets depicted Western political figures, including Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, and five judges of the European Court for Human Rights, as well as members of the Estonian Parliament and an assortment of Russian opposition leaders. A Nazi cap adorned each puppet.

The camp's organizer was the official Russian Federal Agency for Youth Affairs. Additional "organizational support" came from the Nashi movement, a pro-Kremlin youth group known for its harassment of journalists, human rights activists, and foreign officials.

Joining Nashi and the Kremlin in backing the camp was a roster of major Western companies. Intel, Mercedes-Benz, and Tupperware were named as partners or sponsors of the forum. Representatives of two other companies, KPMG and Siemens, also took part in the event.

Putin-Jugend boss persona non grata in EU

Vasily-yakemenko

Vasily Yakemenko, head of Russia's Federal Agency on Youth Affairs (RosMolodezh) and former Federal Comissar of the Putinist youth movement, Nashi, was refused a visa to Italy. Yakemenko was declared persona non grata in Estonia in 2007 due to his role as the main organiser of the Nashi blockade of the Estonian Embassy in Moscow. Yakemenko is thus barred from entry in the entire Schengen Zone. Interestingly, Italy could have granted Yakemenko a national visa, but did not.
