Maskhadov

On March 8 we have the so called Internation Women's Day, a nice little reason to present something lovely to our beloved women. A day off, too.

This year the government had shown its own unique sense of humour. One of Chechen warlords Aslan Maskhadov was assassinated on March 8. The last hope to peacefully deal with Chechens vanished in a puff of smoke. The world immediately called the action «a political stupidity and a gross mistake».



And guess what? The government celebrated the murder by showing the corpse on TV! Ah, ok. And now they say that the information that helped kill Maskhadov cost them (us, actually, as we are the ones who are taxed in this country) a whopping 10 million US dollars! My home town could live on this sum for several years.

That said, I seriously doubt that the money were cashed out. Nobody in his right mind would believe everything these guys tell us from TV especially when they add the details of payment are not to be disclosed ever. Yeah, right.

Nuff.
