----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Внимание! С 2 по 9 января 2012 года Посольство Российской Федерации в Гайане будет закрыто для приема посетителей по случаю праздничных дней. Notice! Please be advised that the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Guyana will be closed from January 2,2012 till January 9, 2012 due to Christmas and New Year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MR. ANAND PERSAUD EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF STABROEK NEWS December 28, 2011 Dear Mr. Anand Persaud, With reference to your Editorial titled “Russia’s Putin under challenge” published in the issue of Stabroek News on December 28, 2011, we would like to bring to your attention the following information. Six days after national and regional elections were held in Guyana, elections to the State Duma (Lower House of the Russian Parliament) took place. According to the final results announced, four out of seven political parties that had rivaled received seats in the Parliament. Majority of votes 49.32 % were cast for United Russia, which thus received 238 seats in the Parliament. Communist party of the Russian Federation secured 92 seats, Liberal-Democratic party of Russia – 56 seats and Fair Russia – 64 seats. The voter turnout during the elections in Russia was 60,21 %, which is 4,5% more than during elections in 2003. United Russia, the party in power, lost a small percentage of votes. This reflects the overall trend of this year elections results with parties in power in other European countries. International and local observers recognized that the elections had been fair and democratic. The complaints filed by the parties about violations did not lead to the review of the results of the elections and vote recount. In Moscow and other Russian cities the opposition organized rallies to protest against the results. According to the police report and witnesses they were carried in a peaceful manner without any violence. President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has called the rallies a manifestation of democratic right of people to convene and express their opinion. The United Russia, which is lead by President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, is preparing for the upcoming presidential elections on March 4, 2012. Vladimir Putin is the party’s presidential candidate. On December 22, 2011 the President of Russia in his annual Address to the Federal Assembly indicated his intentions for reforms of the political processes in Russia. One of them is democratization of election procedures. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has taken a decision to install web cameras (among other measures) at all the polling stations to eliminate chances for possible violations. It is also with great regret we noted that on page 4 of the Stabroek News issue on December 28, 2011 there appeared a reprint from Reuters of the article “Putin ejects Kremlin ‘puppet master’ after protests”. The article does not represent the true reflection of the events and portrays Mr. Surkov as a victim. It should be noted that Mr.Surkov received a very prominent and an important position as a Deputy Prime Minister responsible for modernization of the country. This fact that modernization is one of the Governments priorities negates the statement in the editorial about “Putin’s inclination to substantially rest the economy on Russia’s oil and natural gas productive base”. The misleading reports of the British information agency may cause one come to wrong conclusions about processes taking place in Russia. It is thus compelling us to advise journalists of Guyana and representatives of the mass media to make balanced judgments, which can be made by reviewing the information on Russian news agencies’ web-sites prepared in English (http://www.itar-tass.com/en/, http://www.interfax.com/, http://english.ruvr.ru/). Should there be any need for commenting on the events in Russia, you can also call the Russian Embassy and we will be ready to respond to any inquiries. Sincerely, Denis Kopyl Press Attache of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Guyana P.S. We would appreciate if you had this letter printed in your newspaper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DATE FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN RUSSIA IS SET FOR MARCH 4, 2012 December 17, 2011 The Federation Council (Upper House of the Russian Parliament) has adopted a resolution on setting the presidential election date for March 4, 2012. New president will be elected for a 6-year term. The Central Elections Commission (CEC) of the Russian Federation has so far registered 11 candidates. The self-nominees are Nikolay Levashov (businessman), Leonid Ivashov (professor of Moscow State University of Linguistics, Department of History of Foreign Relations) , Boris Mironov (a writer, member of the Union of writers of Russia), Dmitry Mezentsev (Governor of Irkutsk Region), Svetlana Peunova (Counselor of a non-governmental organization “Academy of development of Svetlana Peunova”), Renat Khamiev (Director of Joint Stock Company “Zorro”), Victor Cherepkov (pensioner) and Michael Prokhorov (President of the JSC “Onexim Group”. Liberal-Democratic party of Russia advanced Vladimir Zhirinivsky, deputy chair of the Duma (Lower House of the Russian Parliament), member of the Committee for Agriculture. Fair Russia – Sergey Mironov, member of the Committee for Science and Scientific technologies of Duma. United Russia – Vladimir Putin, head of the Russian Government. Elections to the Russian State Duma, the Lower House of Parliament, were held on December 4, 2011. About 65 million of Russians voted so far for their favorite parties, which makes 60.2% of all eligible voters. Seven political parties in compliance with the Federal Legislation were registered by the Central Elections Commission (CEC) and participated in the election: United Russia; Communist party of the Russian Federation; Liberal-democratic party of Russia; Russian United Democratic Party “Yabloko”; Patriots of Russia; Fair Russia; Right Cause. After counting more than 96% of ballots and according to the preliminary results announced by the CEC, United Russia received 49.54 % of votes, Communist party of the Russian Federation – 19.19%, Fair Russia – 13.22%, Liberal-Democratic party of Russia – 11.65%. The remaining three parties did not obtain enough votes to pass the 7% margin to be represented in the Parliament. According to the results the composition of the Parliament (450 seats) will be the following: United Russia - 238 seats; Communist party of the Russian Federation – 92 seats; Fair Russia – 64 seats; Liberal-Democratic party of Russia – 56 seats. The new Parliament is elected for a 5 year term. These elections were held in all 83 regions of the Russian Federation as well as abroad. Votes were cast in 94 864 polling stations and in 376 polling stations in foreign countries. About 2 percent of votes were cast electronically. The CEC invited almost 700 foreign observers from the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to monitor elections. Independent observers from many countries came as well. Majority of them have confirmed that the elections were fair and democratic. Although minor complaints were registered by the CEC, they will be reviewed by the proper authorities. Elections in Russia were covered by more than 1600 journalists from 175 domestic and foreign mass media and information agencies. In Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago 63 Russian citizens exercised their constitutional right on December 4, 2011 at a polling station set up on the premises of the Russian Embassy in Georgetown. In remote areas of Guyana in Aroaima (Region 10) and Matthews Ridge (Region 1) as well as in Trinidad and Tobago they voted in advance. The results of their votes reflect an overall trend of party preference in Russia.
