«КоммерсантЪ» Freedom House оценила Россию на уровне Северной Кореи  | | "Авторитарный режим в России может стать примером для других государств постсоветского пространства", – резюмировали авторы доклада Freedom House | | Фото: Дмитрий Лебедев / Коммерсантъ |
В 2006 году Россия стала еще более несвободной страной – такой вывод сделан в опубликованном вчера в ежегодном докладе «О состоянии свободы в мире» международной правозащитной организации Freedom House. Впервые Россия получила минимально возможный балл за уровень гражданских свобод. Аналогичной оценки удостоились Куба, Ливия и Северная Корея. Представители российских властей признают, что по уровню свободы Россия не является лидером, но не согласны с тем, что ее считают аутсайдером.

By Olga Bychkova  Radio Echo of Moscow
SHOD MULAJANOV: The fact of the matter is that a significant majority in this country doesn’t believe that they can have any effect on the outcome of elections. All the opinion polls show that a significant majority in this country doesn’t believe that they can affect the outcome of elections.
OLGA BYCHKOVA: Well, they’re wrong.
SHOD MULAJANOV: I think they’re wrong, but since they’re convinced of this it’s useless to do anything if they believe that they can’t affect the outcome of elections. Comments (2) | Add as favourites (72) | Views: 1976 | E-mail |

…Human rights experts have come to this opinion
By Arslan Saidov  On ‘Time of Freedom’ (program hosted by Arslan Saidov with the participation of Alexander Cherkasov from the ‘Memorial’ human rights center.)
ARSLAN SAIDOV: The terrorist threat is to the advantage of Russia’s leaders. Western human rights experts, in Moscow right now acquainting themselves with the situation in the country, have come to this opinion. The expert commission is composed of prominent jurists, including the former head of the UN Human Rights Commission, Mary Robinson, and it works closely with Russian human rights advocates. We have here live on the air Alexander Cherkasov from the ‘Memorial’ human rights center. Alexander, do you agree with the opinion of your colleagues in the West, that the struggle against terrorism in Russia is being exploited for political goals?
