UKRAINE - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Out with the Old, In with the New for Russia’s Political Elite

Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:08 am
Out with the Old, In with the New for Russia’s Political Elite

Putin won’t take all the members of the old guard with him in 2018. They will be replaced by a generation of special service operatives, security guards, and technocrat-apparatchiks in their forties and fifties, who will stand by Putin in 2018 and beyond

Photo: Anton Vaino

By Andrei Kolesnikov, Carnegie Moscow Center, Aug 24, 2016

The surprise replacement last week of Sergei Ivanov, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with former head of protocol Anton Vaino as presidential chief of staff sparked a whole host of speculation, most of which can be safely disregarded. But, digging through the unfounded forecasts, one can find a clear message.

A comparison of Vaino’s credentials to those of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev suggests that he may very well become the new prime minister. Like Vaino, Medvedev previously worked for the central government and was also known as a businesslike and responsible official. Like Vaino, Medvedev was presidential chief of staff and was not considered an independent figure. But the main point is that the regime needs to prepare a new generation of the elite to stand by Putin in 2018, when his current presidential term ends, and beyond. As chief of staff, Vaino will be instrumental in preparing this new wave of politicians.

Putin won’t take all of the members of the old guard with him in 2018, as demonstrated by the recent removals from their posts of former Russian Railways boss Vladimir Yakunin, drug czar Viktor Ivanov, Federal Guards Service head Yevgeny Murov, and customs chief Andrei Belyaninov. The list of retired “friends” will only get longer. They will be replaced by a generation of special service operatives, security guards, and technocrat-apparatchiks in their forties and fifties...................

President of Belarus said that Minsk establishes relations with the EU is not to the detriment of such assumption and called unfounded.
It Lukashenko said in comments to journalists in Minsk, Interfax-West.
"The Slavs blood to live with neighbors in friendship and harmony. From this it" - he added.
He also noted that Belarus multi-vector policy.
"I do not think there is Belarus, which criticize it. In the East live our brothers. They are people with whom we will always be together. We can collide, diverge, converge, but we will always be together," - said Lukashenko.
"As for the West ... We trade with them today 2% more than with Russia", - said the President of Belarus and added that the country needs technology and investment.
"Our destiny is we - the bridge between East and West. While we are between these monsters - the EU and Russia - we have to play this role. Thus defined," - concluded Lukashenko.

Headline overdone, in my opinion.
Belarus dictator Lukashenko says that Belarus is " between... [two] monsters - the EU and Russia..."

UKRAINE - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Putin’s Ukraine plan means ousting Merkel and Hollande

Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:12 am
Putin’s Ukraine plan means ousting Merkel and Hollande

The recent G-20 meetings in Hangzhou, China, provide a useful balance sheet for assessing Russia’s status in Europe.

While Russian President Vladimir Putin showed that Russia is not as isolated as many in the West think it should be, Putin failed to convince France and Germany to pressure Ukraine to implement the Minsk II cease-fire accord.

Russia cannot be isolated if there is to be a nonviolent resolution of the war in Ukraine. It is clear that neither Europe nor the United States knows how to achieve its strategic goal of removing Bashar al-Assad from power in Syria without dealing directly with Putin, who is generally acknowledged to be driving the Syrian agenda.

It is also clear, however, that sanctions will remain as long as Moscow does not implement its obligations under Minsk II, and that neither France nor Germany will help Putin decide Ukraine’s destiny without Ukraine’s presence at those discussions. Thus, there was no repeat performance of the Munich conference at Hangzhou, nor will there be any time soon.

Politicians and analysts often overuse or misapply the Munich analogy in world politics. But the core analogy of four great powers determining the destiny and territory of an absent fifth state retains its salience here: While Putin’s immediate target is Ukraine, ultimately he wants to reorganize Europe much as Hitler did at Munich.

Indeed, from Putin’s standpoint, the greatest gift he could get would be to make Germany and France complicit with Russia in the crime of destroying Ukraine’s de facto independence and territorial integrity.................

....As awful as the full-scale war was, some on Ukraine’s front lines found it preferable to the seemingly endless grind of today’s smaller clashes.

“In 2014, we suffered losses, but we won, we went ahead. We squeezed them, we beat them, they were afraid of us,” said a Ukrainian sniper who gave his name only as Corporal. “Now we’re bearing the same losses, but standing still.”

With eye on West, Belarus votes in slightly freer election
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-belarus-election-parliament-idUSKCN11G0VC
Lawmakers loyal to hardline Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko look set to retain power in an election on Sunday, but the easing of restrictions on opposition candidates could help the ex-Soviet nation further improve ties with the West.
The opposition, which has not been represented in the 110-seat parliament since 1996, is not expected to win any seats, but in a concession to Western calls for greater transparency its contenders have been able to register more easily. External monitors will also be given access to the vote count....

192 sq m is a big apartment! "Downtown" Kiev will be more expensive than outside the centre.

What amuses me. This guy will probably be persecuted, but those who made billions over the past couple of decades, Yanukovich, Tymoshenko, Akhmetov - nothing happens about them.
And if people lent this guy money - including his girlfriend, well... Not exactly Ukrainian mafia material - unlike many others sitting in the Rada.

Deputy Governor of Kyiv region arrested upon receipt of UAH 200,000 bribe – Avakov

The National Police and the Prosecutor General’s Office in a joint raid have detained deputy chairman of the Kyiv Regional State Administration Ihor Lyubko at the moment he received a bribe, according to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov.

UKRAINE - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources]  1473452229-4071

The minister said that the official extorted a UAH 200,000 bribe from his subordinate for “non-obstruction” in transferring him to the position in another public entity. "On September 9, the employees of the economy protection department of the National Police along with the PGO arrested deputy head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration Ihor Vitaliyovych Lyubko, who through his intermediary Yuri Vladislavovich Pudenko, head of the health department of the KRSA extorted and received undue benefits in the amount of UAH 200,000 from his subordinate for non-obstruction in her transfer to another public authority," Avakov wrote on Facebook. According to the investigators, Lyubko together with Governor Melnychuk a month ago received unconfirmed information that the head of the agribusiness department of the KRSA had paid a $15 million compensation to the farmers in line with the budget program. "As far as in their understanding, such a sum could not be paid without some interest without a certain kickback, they began to demand part of the funds that the said official had allegedly received, threatening her with dismissal," reads the statement............

Russia to turn into reservation of poor and aggressive people – Levada think-tank head

Commenting on the inclusion of the Russia-based Levada -Tsentr thinktank in the list of foreign agents, its head Lev Gudkov said the law gives Russia a black eye and will lead to the social, moral and intellectual degradation, Slon reports Sept. 10.

The law on foreign agents bans links of the Russian scholars with their foreign colleagues.

It will lead to isolation and turning the population into a reservation of poor and aggressive citizens cherishing the illusions of their national supremacy, the Levada head said.

The government accused Levada of being on the payroll of the US government and NGOs.

“We have never made a secret we got funding for our social surveys and polls from abroad,” the official said.

When the Russian government ends with sociology, it will repress history, economy, genetics, physics – same as it was in the Stalin days, Gudkov said.

UKRAINE - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Sunday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty How Putin is messing with American heads (Financial Times)

How Putin is messing with American heads (Financial Times)

Attempts to sow doubts about the integrity of the US electoral process are already succeeding

There is no textbook on what to do. The US has a history of meddling in other countries’ politics during the cold war — and since. But Russia’s thinly-disguised intrusions into the 2016 election is the first time the US has clearly been the object of such attention. Moreover, the Russian bear is pushing at an open door. All Vladimir Putin needs to do to cause trouble is to sow doubt about the integrity of the US electoral process. Large numbers of Americans already suspect the November result will be rigged. So does Donald Trump, who is the first US presidential nominee to invite a foreign power to leak material that would damage his opponent. If ever US democracy was vulnerable to skulduggery that time would be now.

What chance does it have of succeeding? To some extent it already has. In a Bloomberg interview last week, Mr Putin offered a blatant non-denial denial that Russia carried out the recent hacking episodes. “To do that you need to have a finger on the pulse and understand the specifics of domestic political life in the US,” he said with a knowing smile. “I’m not sure that even our foreign ministry experts are sensitive enough.” The Russian president might as well have winked at the camera.
