Голодающие у стен Кремля балкарцы сбросили 80 кг ради того, чтобы их услышал президент
Starving at the Kremlin walls lost almost 80 kg in weight, only for president hear them.

Почти месяц на Манежной площади Москвы длится голодовка жителей Кабардино-Балкарии
Almost a month lasts the hunger struck of inhabitants from Kabardino-Balkarskaya Republic at the Monezhnaya Square.

Вспомните, когда вы в последний раз слышали об акции протеста возле стен Кремля. Правильно! Тут без поисковика в интернете не разберешься. Именно поэтому тихий, но упорный протест жителей КБР на Манежной площади стал политическим событием.

Can you remember when you last heard about the protest near the Kremlin walls. Right! Without internet search you won’t know it. That is why quite, but persistent protest of inhabitants of Kabardino-Balkarian Repulic at the Monezhnaya Square became a political event.
Группа стариков-балкарцев даже успела стать московской достопримечательностью наравне с Кремлем. С ними рядом фотографируются прохожие и туристы. Вот уже 20 дней они сохнут на воде и хлебе под палящим солнцем, спят на лавочках, надеясь, что с другой стороны кремлевских стен кто-нибудь обратит внимание на их проблемы. Старики, лица которых разъел не один десяток морщин, даже похудели. Кто на 7 кг, кто на 30. В общей сложности ради того, чтобы их услышали власти, горцы сбросили около 80 кг на восьмерых.

A group of balkarian old men has already become Moscow atrection equally with Kremlin.
Tourists take photos with them. For already 20 days they dry up on bread and water under the hot sun, sleep on benches, keeping hope, that anybody on the other side of Kremlin walls will pay attention on their problems. Old men, whose faces are corroded by more than a dozen of wrinkles, even lost weight . Someone lost 7 kg, someone – 30 kg. In total, so that authorities hear them, the highlanders lost almost 80 kg for eight.
Начинали акцию вообще 10 человек. Но один был госпитализирован с гипертоническим кризом, второй поехал к родным на похороны.
The action was started by the group of 10 highlanders. But in 2 weeks one of them was taken to hospital with hypertensive crisis, and another one had to go home for funerals.

На днях голодающие подготовили петицию президенту. Однако пресс-секретарь президента Наталья Тимакова вчера затруднилась ответить «Труду» на вопрос, знает ли Медведев о проходящей акции и направленной ему петиции.
Recently starving prepared a petition to the president. However, yesterday, the presidential press secretary Natalya Timakova failed to answer "Trud" on the issue, whether Medvedev knows about the ongoing action, and the petition directed to him.
Старики весь день прячутся в тени, переходят с одного места на другое. Но когда солнце в зените и спрятаться некуда, они открывают зонты и считают минуты до наступления вечерней прохлады. Спят они тут же, на лавочках и на траве. Пару раз ночью лил дождь, и они ночевали, стоя под козырьком гостиницы «Москва».

The old people all day hide in the shadows, moving from one place to another. But when the sun is at its zenith, and nowhere to hide, they open umbrellas, and count every minute before the evening coolness. They sleep there on the benches and on the grass. A couple of times during the night rain fell, and they spent the night, standing under the shade of the Moskva Hotel.

Давно сидим
We are sitting here for a long time
«В родной республике нас истребляют, как индейцев в США, — объясняет причину голодовки лидер группы Мурадин Рахаев. — Вся власть принадлежит кабардинцам, а нас, балкарцев, притесняют».
“At our native republic we are destroyed, like Indians in USA, - explains the reason for the hunger strike the group leader Muradin Rahaev. - All the power belongs to Kabardians and we, Balkarians, are oppressed. ”

По его словам, власти республики отнимают у них земли в долинах, объявляют незаконными их поселения. «Мы живем посреди четырех горных хребтов, — объясняет Мурадин, показывая на пальцы, словно это горные цепи. — В равнинах между ними мы живем, но власти республики объявили все земли, исключая наши поселения, межселеньем и фактически загнали нас в резервацию». Мурадин пояснил, что Конституционный суд России уже признал то решение властей неправомерным, но уже не первый год власти КБР отказываются выполнять постановление суда. «Мы пришли к Кремлю просить исполнения законов нашей страны, — резюмирует он. — Хотим, чтобы эта земля осталась нашей».
As he says, the republic authorities are taking away the land in the valleys, outlaw their settlements. "We live in the middle of the four mountain ranges - Muradin explains, pointing to the fingers, as if ir it is mountain chain. The plains between them we live in, but the republic's authorities have declared all the land, except our settlements, mezhselenem and actually drove us to the reservation. Muradin explained that the Russian Constitutional Court has already acknowledged that the authorities' decision illegal, but not the first year, the authorities refuse to comply with the CBD on the ruling. "We came to the Kremlin to request execution of the laws of our country, - he concluded. - We want the land continues to be our ".

Спасительная влага
Saving water
Главное для голодающих — вода. Ее приносят сочувствующие москвичи и члены балкарской диаспоры. Иногда приходят даже кабардинцы. «Они нам сочувствуют, оставляют еду, но нам все приходится раздавать бомжам, ведь у нас голодовка», — рассказывает участник акции Билял Джанкишиев.
The main thing for starving - water. It brought by sympathetic Muscovites and members Balkar diaspora. Sometimes come even Kabardians. "They sympathize with us, leave the food, but we have to give all to homeless person, because we have the hunger strike", - says the protesters Bilal Dzhankishiev.
По словам Рахаева, никакого официального разрешения для проведения акции они не получали. «В прошлом году у нас был санкционированный митинг возле гостиницы „Украина“, теперь мы голодаем, и на это не нужно никакого разрешения», — говорит он.
According to Rahaev, they didn’t get any official promotion for the hunger strike. “Last year we had a sanctioned rally near the hotel" Ukraine ", now we are taking the hunger strike and do not need no permission" - he says.”
От обильного употребления воды и голодания у стариков обострились болезни. Почти у всех ноги распухли и с трудом влезают в домашние тапочки. А ведь некоторым голодающим уже далеко за 70 лет.
Because of the abundant use of water and starvation the highlanders’ illnesses have aggravated. Almost everyone’s feet are swelled and don’t fit in home sneakers. But some of the starving are already far over 70 years.

Милиция бережет
The Polis protets
«Салам алейкум», — подходит к голодающим милиционер-татарин. «Поведение милиции стало для нас откровением, — улыбается Мурадин. — Все мы знаем, что о ней думают в нашей стране, но здесь милиция нас защищает и помогает чем может».
“Salam aleikum”, - says to starving a polisman-tatar. “Polis’s behavior became a surprise for us, - says Muradin with a smile.- We all know what people in our country think about Polis, but here and now it protects and helps us as it can.”
По словам сотрудника местного УВД, милиция получила задание круглосуточно охранять горцев. «Нам утром на разводе распределяют дежурство, сверху дали команду, никто и не говорил их разгонять», — объяснил милиционер «Труду». Вопрос, почему «марши несогласных» на Триумфальной площади разгоняют, а горцев у стен Кремля — нет, сначала ставит стража порядка в тупик, но потом он находится: «Не, ну здесь же уважаемые пожилые люди с высшим образованием, у них вполне понятная цель». Милиция рассказывает, что еще не было ни одного случая, чтобы к старикам проявили агрессию или как-то их оскорбили.
According to officers of local Department of Internal Affairs (DIA), the polis got a mission to take an all-day protection of the highlanders. “At the morning we are given duties for a day, our top authorities gave an order, and no one told to disperse them ”,- the officer explained “Trud”. The question , why the “Marches of Dissent” at the Triumph Square are dispersed and the highlanders at the Kremlin are not, at fist perplexed the officers, but then says : “well there are respected elderly people with higher education here, they have an understandable goal." Police says that there has not been a single case in which anyone showed aggression or somehow offended the old men.”

«Пускай убираются в горы!»
“Let them go back to the mountains!”
Акция протеста проходит настолько мирно, что жители и туристы даже и не догадываются, что на Манежной 20 дней длится голодовка.
The action goes on so quite, that inhabitants and tourists even don’t suspect, that at the Monezhnaya square for 20 day already lasts the hunger strike.
«Не знаю, мне кажется, что они тут молятся», — предположил москвич Николай, глядя на горцев. Приезжие видят в них то бомжей, то беженцев из горячих точек. «Понятия не имею, кто это», — растерялась при виде стариков жительница Новосибирска. «Мам, да это же иностранцы!» — пришел на помощь ее 10-летний сын.
"I do not know, I think, what they are praying" - suggested Muscovite Nicholas, looking at the Highlanders. Visitors can see the homeless, the refugees from trouble spots in them. "I have no idea who they are" - resident of Novosibirsk was taken aback at the sight of the old men. "Mom, they are the foreigners!" - Came to help her 10-year-old son.

Кабардинцы пристально следят за голодовкой. Один из них вчера пришел на площадь. «Меня зовут Феликс», — протянул опоясанную шрамом руку кабардинец лет 40. Он недавно узнал о голодовке из интернета и пришел посмотреть. «Ничего они не добьются, — уверенно заявляет он. — Это наша земля, а они родились и жили в горах, так пусть и убираются назад в горы!»
Kabardinians closely watch the hunger strike. One of them arrived yesterday on the square. "My name is Felix '- handed girded scar arm Kabardian at the age of 40. He recently learned about fasting from the Internet and came to see. "They will not succeed - he says confidently. - This is our land, and they were born and lived in the mountains, so let them removed back into the mountains! "

По гневному блеску его глаз становится понятно, что не зря милиция охраняет стариков балкарцев, иначе этнический конфликт из маленькой кавказской республики разразится уже под стенами Московского Кремля.
By the angry gleam in his eyes it became clear that polis protection is necessary, otherwise an ethnic conflict of small Caucasian republic will break out at the walls of Kremlin.

ТУК можете да видите снимки от гладната стачка на балкарските старейшини. Хората искат само едно - човешки права и възможност да си обработват земята. Направи ми впечатление в статията, че дори да изкарат животните си на паша трябва да искат разрешение от управляващите. Дотам са ги докарали. Сега искат среща в Кремъл с МедведПутята, но никой не им обръща внимание. За това са се принудили и на тази гладна стачка.
Основното им искане е да им се върне земята, за да могат да си я обработват и препитават. В момента безработицата в Балкария е 80% и много млади отиват по големите градове да търсят препитание. Звучи познато, нали.
Кои са балкарците? Това е коренното българско население, останало от Сребърна България на кан Кубер. За тях - под името БЪЛГАРИ пише още сирийския летописец
Мар Абас Катин от 3 век пр.Христа в "Начална история на Армения"

Пак в същата история Мар Абас пише за българите, че "живели от северните подножия на великата Кавказка планина чак до огромните равнини".

Бащицата на народите, Юдашвили Сталин "оправя" набързо балкарците. на 8.03.1944 изродите от НКВД натоварват на конски вагони над 38 000 жени, деца и ветерани от балкарска националност и ги изселва в Казахстан и Киргизия. Обвинението е, че са предатели и помощници на врага. Действително в кавказкия легион на СС Бергман (Планинец) е имало много балкарци. Няколкостотин планинци са били мобилизирани като полицаи. Но в редовете на червената армия пък са се сражавали 16 000 балкарци, при обща численост на целия балкарски народ от 52 000 души. След депортациите, Кабардино-Балкарската АССР я наричат само Кабардинска, а Приелбрусието го предават на Грузия. След края на Сталин и реабилитацията, повечето от депортираните балкаци се връщат в родината си, но балкарските национални райони така и не са им върнати. Нито пък техните земи. Точно тази "полуреабилитация" носи до ден днешен немалко беди на този малък остатък от кавказки българи.

В долната статия е дадено най-точно какво искат хората от Медвед-Путя.

Източник

По принцип в тази република балкарците и кабардинците не се понасят особено. Както от статията става ясно, балкарците са малцинство - само 107 000 души или 11% от общото население на републиката. Ясно е, че в Налчик управлението още от Сталин е дадено на кабардинци и руснаци. Пример за това е последната промяна в земите им, които наместо общински стават "междуградски". Смисълът на това е, че с променения статут дефакто им я отнемат, защото нямат правото да я ползват за пасбища и земеделска обработка. Така в момента хиляди хектара земя не се обработва, а хората са принудени при 80% безработица да бягат от там.
През 2005 г. беше убит кмета на градчето Хасаня, Артур Зокаев, който е бил активист за запазване на баларската самостоятелност. Балкарските и руските села рязко се различават от кабардинските, където се строят нови училища, болници и спортни комплекси. Цялото управление на републиката се държи от кабардински елит.

И понеже стана дума за Сталин. Много малко е известно в България (по понятни причини), че освен кавказки българи, бащицата на народите депортира в Казахстан и над 40 000 бесарабски и гагаузки българи от земите на сегашна Молдова и южна Украйна. Дори сега, предимно в източен Казахстан живеят над 20 000 потомъка на бесараби и гагаузи, които се зоват българи.
Интересно каква е позицията по тези въпроси на нашия министър за българите в чужбина, Божидар Димитров. Който много обича да говори за прабългарското ни минало, че се самонарича и националист.

Огромное вас спасибо за перевод статьи! Голодовка продолжается до сих пор, в Москве уже похолодало, по ночам температура опускается до +5 градусов. Люди спят на скамейках. Все голодающие уже побывали в больницах и опять вернулись на голодовку. Нам очень нужна ваша информационная поддержка. Про нашу акцию ничего не знают за границами России.

Самому старшему из голодающих 74 года.

Peasant Petitioners Visiting Medvedev

A Dispute Over Land Rights in the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria Has Added Color to the Moscow Protest Scene

Since July a small group of men from the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria have been protesting by camping out on the Manezhnaya Square in central Moscow. The ethnic Balkars sit in front of the Kremlin, keeping an eye on the State Duma and waiting for a response from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to the petition they lodged on land rights. While authorities have given the protestors little credence, their discontent raises new questions about governance in the mountainous North Caucasus republic.

“It’s the most prestigious hotel in Moscow – look at our view of the Kremlin,” said Muradin Rahayev, the director of the Balkar protest, referring to the bench his group occupies on the Manezhnaya Square. Of the 12 protestors who first came to occupy the bench on July 7 only six remain, and Rahayev is one of them. He said that the protest was conceived as an attempt to combat discrimination at home, particularly over the distribution of land, in a peaceful way. “We want to show the president that not all people from the Caucasus resolve their issues with arms. We also want to show that this issue can be resolved peacefully, that no issue is worth even a single life,” he said.

So what exactly are the Balkars concerned about? Ostensibly, they want to see Russian Federal Law 131, which governs the organization of local self-government within the country, properly implemented in the republic. This would involve designating land, which had been common property, to each ethnic group. But the republic’s government has not complied with this law so far.

In an interview with Kommersant at the beginning of October, Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria President Arsen Kanonov defended his administration’s decision not to implement the law. “I think the fact that we didn’t implement this law in the way it was presented to us saved the republic from further problems,” he said. Kanonov added that land, which both Kabardins and Balkars have a claim to, has been put under the republic’s authority and classified as “distant pasture land” to prevent inter-ethnic tension.

Earlier this summer Kanonov told Interfax news agency that implementing Federal Law 131 would lead to a disparity in the amount of land each ethnic group owns: “Russian settlements house approximately 40 people per square kilometer; Kabardin settlements 78 people per square kilometer; and Balkar settlements 14 people per square kilometer,” Kanonov said.

Rahayev said the failure to implement Law 131 was illegal. “The republic’s decision doesn’t correspond to the laws of the Russian Federation and the Russian Constitution,” he said. The protestors cite a Constitutional Court ruling that states that the republic’s authorities must find a solution to satisfy all parties.

However, Djamila Khagarova, Kanonov’s press secretary, described the protest as a public relations campaign. “Colorful mountain men in white sheepskin hats and cloaks amaze Muscovites and particularly foreigners. The protestors understand that this is going to evoke interest and attract attention.”

Khagarova said that a timetable to resolve the land question has already been established, and is being overseen by the Presidential Envoy to the North Caucasus Alexander Khloponin. “Balkars from Kabardino-Balkaria met the protestors in Moscow and tried to explain to them that the issue is being resolved. In the areas of Khasanya and Belaya Rechka voting is taking place on whether they will remain part of Nalchik,” Khagarova said, adding that the protestors “didn’t want to leave the place where they are conducting their PR campaign under any circumstances.” Furthermore, Khagarova said that the Balkar protestors were earlier invited to sit on the Kabardino-Balkaria parliamentary committee established to resolve the land issue.

While Rahayev said that the group protesting in Moscow had not been contacted by the authorities since the protest began, their counterparts in Essentuki in Kabardino-Balkaria have. The group, which went on a hunger strike on July 10, has intermittent contact with Khloponin’s representatives. “The hunger strikers in Essentukui told us that Khloponin doesn’t understand what we’re doing. Of course he lives on a different level, if he came and saw what we were doing, saw where we lived, he would understand us,” Rahayev said.

Rahayev also alleged that Balkars, who account for 11 percent of the republic’s population (compared to the Kabardin community’s 55 percent), are suffering from wider discrimination. “Our people are losing their land, their identity, culture, we can’t develop our sports. If this continues in 15 years we will have passed the point of no return,” Rahayev said.

Rahayev compared the situation at home with that in the neighboring Republic of Karachayevo-Cherkessia. “The Karachay have the majority in their republic. The Kabardin dominate us in Kabardino-Balkaria. But Khloponin appointed a Cherkess as prime minister in Karachayevo-Cherkessia, so why didn’t he appoint a minority prime minister in Kabardino-Balkaria? Why isn’t there a Kabardin prime minister? We have had no answer to this question yet,” Rahayev said.

The protestors are also angry about the lack of Balkar representation in the wrestling federation. “Wrestling is the most popular sport in the Caucasus and our federation is run by Kabardins,” Rahayev said to murmurs of agreement from his fellow protestors.

For the time being Rahayev and his fellow protestors have no plans to go home. The Balkar and the ethnically-related Karachay diasporas have equipped them for the winter ahead. Rahayev pointed to the matching ski jackets that they are all wearing underneath their distinctive black cloaks and sheepskin hats, saying they were sent by their diaspora in Germany.

The police have also helped and protected the protestors during their time in the Russian capital. This surprised the group, not least because the Balkars have no formal permission to protest there. “We didn’t receive any permits to be here, we just lodged our petition with the president and came and sat here,” Rahayev said. “We have to stay here until the issue is resolved, otherwise young people will take it into their own hands, which would not be good for us, for the country, or for any of the Turkic peoples of Russia. We are prepared to stand here until the question is resolved and protect our people.”

The protest hasn’t gone entirely smoothly, however. Of the 12 protestors who arrived in the Russian capital in July, only six remain in Moscow. This is largely due to health problems arising from a hunger strike held early on in the protest. “We were on a hunger strike for a month. During that time nine of us ended up in the hospital, some came back, others had to go home,” Rahayev said, adding that they subsequently abandoned this extreme measure due to the cold weather and are now eating one meal per day.

Rahayev also told a story about one of the many people who took an interest in the protestors since they arrived. “A man came to see us one day and asked us what we were doing here. We explained, and he said we were like the old men in Vladimir Serov’s painting ‘Peasant Petitioners Visiting Lenin,’ but without the beards. He joked about how it may now be the information age, but they probably had easier access to the authorities. Walking away laughing, he said we could grow beards down to the ground before we would get a response. So we decided to be like those peasant petitioners and grow our beards, and they’ve already come on quite a bit.”
