The verdict of the Russian court on the case Ukrainian pilots Hope Savchenko has caused considerable resonance in the Austrian media. Savchenko’s lawyers had no doubt that their client is found guilty, though, as they emphasized, she is innocent, says Salzburger Nachrichten (22.03). At the same time the process takes place in the Chechen capital Grozny, where the trial of two compatriots Savchenko. Nationalist activists Karpyuk Nikolay (Nikolai Karpjuk) and Stanislav Klich (Stanislaw Klych) charged that “during the Chechen war of 1994-95 they had killed or tortured to death dozens of Russian soldiers».
«This is propaganda processes, – says Moscow opposition politician Sergei Davidis. – The state government wants to show the people that commit crimes against Ukrainians Russia to justify its own aggression against Ukraine. ” State television Russia takes such trials as symbols of moral superiority over the Ukrainian “fascists”, with very few of them care about what damage is done to the image of the country abroad, the newspaper said.
Lawyers Savchenko, as well as the Kiev political analyst Vadim Karasev, believes that the Kremlin will soon exchange or release a few “guilty”: “The goal is to demonstratively condemn the victim and then exchange them with the greatest political advantage: Look, we let Savchenko, although she is guilty!»
About the possible exchange of Hope Savchenko and writes Der Standard (22.03). Observers in Kiev reported that negotiations between Moscow, Kiev and Berlin behind the scenes process. The German government, apparently, plays a central role.
However, the fear in Kiev, that the “combat pilot, known waywardness and” spiky “nature, can negate all the efforts of diplomats and, in the end, even renounce to its prisoners exchanged for the Russians “, recognizes the newspaper. Savchenko said: “Before I rot in the camp in the Russian provinces, I die – for my country, for freedom and for Ukraine»
«absurd» refers to the trial of Ukrainian female pilot and the Wiener Zeitung (22.03),. Savchenko since proven guilty in the deaths of two Russian journalists. The paper says that this is not an isolated case trial Ukrainians and recalls the conviction last summer Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsova to 20 years’ imprisonment for “terrorist activities».
But none of these processes has become not just symbolic, as a matter of Hope Savchenko, it stresses the newspaper. He showed how great the chasm now separating the Ukraine and Russia. At the time, as Savchenko came to sentencing in a T-shirt with the emblem of Ukraine, in the courtroom came activists with portraits of slain Russian journalists.
Savchenko’s lawyer Mark Feigin said before the verdict that his client is not going to recognize sentence, but would not be his, and to appeal. Still, he believes that “there is hope for the return to Ukraine Savchenko.” The very same Savchenko said in his final statement: “Russia somehow give me the Ukraine, dead or alive»
The reasons for the Kremlin to withdraw most of its troops from Syria , on. -prezhnemu are in the media spotlight. Most Russian experts believe that the Kremlin has made this decision, because the most important political objectives have been achieved, the newspaper Der Standard (16.03). With Russian military forces Putin greatly strengthened the position of Assad in Syria. In addition, he forced the West to talk to him, who after the Ukrainian crisis outcast, “on equal terms”, said the deputy director of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis Anatoly Khramchikhin.
In Geneva on Monday started talks on a peaceful settlement of the Syrian problem , and Assad’s position in these negotiations is significantly strengthened. But Moscow made it clear that the Kremlin would consider and version of the federalization of Syria, if the “Syrian people will vote for it.” Some analysts see the decision on withdrawal of troops as pressure on Assad to “get him to agree to all the proposals of Moscow.” In recent weeks repeatedly reported dissatisfaction with Russian “stubbornness Assad” – adds Der Standard
«Assad’s time to pay for political accounts» -. Says another article in the same Der Standard (16.03). Vladimir Putin “has made front-line border in Syria in political boundaries and did thereby Syrian opposition partner in the negotiations, which Assad must be taken seriously”, – the newspaper writes. Thus, Putin gives you the opportunity and the United States to put pressure on its allies, which, like the Syrian regime, said a resounding “no” to all previous proposals.
In this case, “Putin, who does not abandon his common front plan against LIH “not ready because of the Assad finally spoil relations with the Gulf Arabs. By the way, not so long ago between Moscow Riad and it was about to stabilize oil prices, adds Der Standard.
The second anniversary of the “annexation of Crimea Russia» has also attracted media attention. Wiener Zeitung (22.03) has published an article critical of the British Minister for Europe David Lidington (David Lidington), he calls the annexation of the Crimea “contrary to international law” and states that “the international community does not recognize and does not recognize the forcible seizure of Russian Crimea.” In response to the “dangerous behavior” Russian Lidington urges “to strengthen NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe” and advocated a “continuation of our sanctions against Russia in order to exert the necessary pressure to change its attitude».
The fate of the Russian middle class seem to be seriously excited Bёziger Beatrice (Beatrice Bösiger) in the article “TV wins fridge» (Wirtschaftsblatt, 21.03). But in the end the real problems of people relegated to the background, and a journalist complained that in contrast to the winter of 2011-2012, when the urban middle class of tens of thousands took to the streets, is now almost no political protests. And the reason for it – “the repressive policy of the Russian authorities”, thanks to which the competition between the empty fridge and promising TV is taking place in favor of the latter
On the other hand, “more than 85% of Russia’s population is considered to still TV main source. information “, and only a small portion of the independent media reads messages on the Internet. And on state television still portray Russia surrounded by enemies both outside and inside, where stability and prosperity are possible only under Vladimir Putin – a picture draws the readers Beatrice Bёziger
