1 | Russia: Yuri Budanov's Assassination Exposes Deep Wounds of Chechen Wars | Rosia: Mampiseho ny ratra lalina navelan'ny adin'i Tsetsenia ny namonoana an'i Yuri Budanov |
2 | The June 10, 2011, assassination of Yuri Budanov, the former Russian army colonel convicted of the murder of an 18-year-old Chechen woman during the Second Chechen War, has reignited inter-ethnic tensions both online and offline, and reinforced the feeling of bitter disappointment with what appears to be a permanent state of lawlessness in the country. | Namerina indray ny fifampihenjanana ara-poko na an-tserasera na ivelan'ny serasera ny namonoan'ny sasany an'i Yuri Budanov kolonely taloha tamin'ny tafika Rosiana izay noampangaina ho namona vehivavy Tsetsenina 18 taona nandritra ny Ady Tsetsenina Faharoa tamin'ny 10 jona 2011, ary nanamafy ny fahadisoam-panantenana satria mbola manjaka ny tsy fanarahan-dalàna ao amin'ny firenena. |
3 | Moscow-based journalist Miriam Elder has described Budanov's case as “the single loudest legal case to emerge from the Chechen wars, when Russian troops were accused of widespread human rights abuses as they attempted to put down a separatist insurgency.” | Ilay mpanao gazety miasa ao Moskoa Miriam Elder no nivaofy fa ny raharaha Budanov no “tranga naningana noresahina be indrindra tam-pitsarana nisongadina avy amin'ny adin'i Tsetsenia, raha noampangaina ho nanao fihoaram-pahefana mndika ny zon'olombelona ny tafika Rosiana nandritra ny fiezahan'izy ireo handresy ny fikomian'ny mpioko.” |
4 | Below is her summary: | Ity eto ambany ity ny fehin-teniny: |
5 | […] Budanov was convicted in 2003 of murdering Heda Kungayeva, an 18-year-old Chechen woman. | […] Budanov dia noampangaina tamin'ny 2003 ho namono an'i Heda Kungayeva, vehivavy Tsetsenina 18-taona. |
6 | He maintained that he thought she was a rebel sniper when he took her in for questioning in 2000. | Nidrikina izy fa mpioko kinga amin'ny fitifirana ratovovavy io raha azony hohadihadiana tami'ny 2000. |
7 | Initial forensic examinations found evidence of torture and rape. | Ny fanadihadiana santatra moa no nahitana fa nisy ny fampijaliana sy ny fanolanana. |
8 | His case took many twists and turns, with the charges repeatedly reformulated. | Nivadibadika tokoa ny fandehan'ity tantara ity, sady miovaova hatrany ny fomba filazana ny fitoriana. |
9 | He was one of very few Russian soldiers taken to court for human rights abuses and many critics said the fierce attention paid to his case allowed the government to let further investigations fall by the wayside. | Izy no iray amin'ireo vitsy dia vitsy amin'ny miaramila Rosiana notsaraina noho ny fanitsakitsahana ny zon'olombelona ary maro ny tsikera no nilaza fa ny fifantohana be tamin'ity raharahany ity no nahafahan'ny fitondrana nanary teny antenantenan-dalana famotorana maro hafa. |
10 | He was released on parole in 2009, after serving nine years of his 10-year sentence, sparking protests in Chechnya. | Noafahana nialoha ny fotoana tamin'ny 2009, rehefa nahatontosa ny sivy taona tamin'ny 10 nanamelohana azy hifonja, izay niteraka fanoherana tany Tsetsenia. |
11 | Yet to Russia's active nationalists, Budanov was held up as a hero. | Nefa ho an'ny mpikatroka nasionalista Rosiana dia natsangana ho toy ny olo-mahery i Budanov. |
12 | While Budanov's case has been a cause célèbre for Russian nationalists throughout the past decade, his murder is currently being discussed in every ideological corner of the Russian blogosphere. | Raha noheverina ho firesaka malaza i Budanov eo imason'ny nasionalista Rosiana nandritra ny taompolo farany, dia iadian-kevitra any amin'ny ankolafy ideolojika rehetra sy ao amin'ny tontolom-bolongana Rosiana kosa ny fahafatesany. |

15 | Right after the assassination, many bloggers began pointing at the Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov as the figure likely to be behind the crime. | Vantany vao nisy ny famonoana dia maro tamin'ny bilaogera no nanondro ny Filoha Tsetsenina Ramzan Kadyrov ho mety ho ambadik'ity raharaha ity. |
16 | Alexey Navalny, a popular Russian anti-corruption activist, who is also known for his nationalist stance, wrote this [ru]: | Alexey Navalny, Rosiana mpikatroka amin'ny fanoherana ny kolikoly, ary fantatra ihany koa amin'ny fijoroany no nasionalista, no nanoratra izao [ru]: |
17 | […] There are all reasons to believe that this execution was directly or indirectly organized by the criminal gang that now goes by the name of “the government of the Chechen Republic.” | […] Betsaka ny antony mampino fa ny famonoana azy dia nomanin'andian-jiolahy mivantana na ankolaka ka ny anaran'izy ireo ankehitriny moa dia hoe “governemantan'i Repoblika Tsetsenina.” |
18 | At least, [Ramzan] Kadyrov had earlier made direct and public announcements of the intentions to carry out such an execution: “we will find an opportunity to get him what he deserves [ru].” […] | Farafaharatsiny, [Ramzan] Kadyrov dia efa nanao fanambarana ampahibemaso ny fikasany hanatontosa izany famonoana izany: “ho hitantsika ny fotoana hahafahantsika manao aminy izay mendrika azy [ru].” […] |
19 | Blogger efa2007, came up with a more general explanation [ru]: | Bilaogera efa2007, nitondra fanazavana mivelabelatra kokoa [ru]: |
20 | The one to blame is the one who did all he could for this situation to happen, for this conflict to become more and more inter-ethnic, the one who sits on top of a self-constructed vertical, manipulating people as if they were figures on a chessboard. | Ny iray mendrika saziana dia ny iray izay nanao ny fomba rehetra azony natao mba hahatonga izao toe-draharaha izao hitranga, mba hahatonga ny ady hirona hatrany hatrany amin'ny adim-poko, ilay iray izay mipetraka eo antampon'ny fananganana mijaridina naorin'ny tenany, milalao olona ho tahaka ny vato amin'ny fanorom-bazaha. |
21 | We are all hostages in there - Russians and Chechens, the military and civilians, criminals and honest people - everyone is on the hook of a gang of former KGB officers who have taken over the country - this is their only way to manage people, they simply do not know of any other way, and the situation of selectivity [of justice] is useful to them - everyone has to be afraid. | Samy takalon'aina ao daholoisika na Rosiana na Tsetsenina, sivily sy miaramila, jiolahy na tsy manantsiny, ahanton'ireo jiolahy izay manamboninahitry ny KGB taloha izay mihazona ny firenena ireo - izao ihany ny fomba tokana itondrany ny olona, tsy mahay fomba hafa ry zareo, ary tena ilain-dry zareo ny fomba fisafidifidin'ny Fitsarana mba hampatahotra ny rehetra. |
22 | The semi-official version that Budanov could have been killed by the nationalists - who consider him as somewhat of an icon - was uniformly rejected by the Russian bloggers. | Ny filazana tadiaina ho ofisialy milaza fa ny nasionalista no mety ho namono an'i Budanov - izay ataon-dry zareo ho karazana olomanga - dia tsipahin'ny mpamaham-bolongana Rosiana tsy misy anavahana. |
23 | Who gets impunity? | Iza no Tsimatimanota? |
24 | As in any other war narrative, a significant part of the discussion focuses on whether Budanov should be perceived as a hero or a war criminal. | Tahaka ny amin'ny fitantarana an'ady hafa moa dia mibahan-toerana amin'ny adihevitra raha tokony horaisina ho olomanga i Budanov na olo-meloka an'ady. |
25 | The question of photoblogger aleshru - “Please tell me, why Budanov is considered a hero? | Ny fanontanian'ilay mpamaham-bolongantsary aleshru - “Lazao ahy azafady, nahoana i Budanov no heverina ho olomanga? |
26 | I really want to know” - has generated nearly 420 replies. | Tena te-hahalala aho” - moa dia nahazoana setriny manakaiky ny 420. |
27 | In addition to the usual justification that Budanov killed Kungayeva because he thought she was a sniper, blogger max_kozhevnikov wrote [ru] about an episode when Budanov's actions helped save the lives of 160 soldiers (the award he received for this was recalled after Budanov was found guilty of Kungayeva's murder). | Ankoatra ny fanamarinana mahazatra fa i Budanov dia namono an'i Kungayeva noho ny nieritreretany fa mpitifitra io, ny Bilaogera max_kozhevnikov no nanoratra [ru] ny toko iray nahafahan'i Budanov namonjy miaramila 160 (noesorina taminy moa ny valisoa azony noho io asa nataoy io rehetra hita fa meloka tamin'ny famonoana an'i Kungayeva izy). |
28 | The Chechen perspective on Budanov is quite different, however. | Hafa noho izany kosa moa ny fomba fijerin'ny Tsetsenina an'i Budanov. |
29 | Vainakh's Veras, a North Caucasian Vkontakte.ru group with over 8,000 members, used [ru] the following language to summarize the significance of what happened on June 10: | Vainakh's Veras, Vondrona Kaokaziana Tavaratra Vkontakte.ru manana mpikambana 8000, dia nampiasa [ru] izao fiteny manaraka izao hamehezana izay nitranga tamin'ny 10 Jona: |
30 | Budanov was a symbol of violence in Chechnya, of oppression and subjugation of Chechnya! | Budanov no famantarana ny herisetra any Tsetsenia, famantaran'ny famoretana sy ny fangejana an'i Tsetsenia! |
31 | Yes, he himself is nothing but 0,00001 percent of those who deserve revenge for the genocide in Chechnya. | Eny, tsy misy dikany izy fa 0,00001 isanjato amin'izay mendrika hovaliana faty noho ny fandripahan'olona natao tany Tsetsenia. |
32 | But his death is the ideological victory over the whole of the murderous Russian army! | Saingy ny fahafatesany dia fandresena[y] ideolojika manoloana ny Tafika Rosiana mpamono olona iray manontolo! |
33 | TODAY THE FEELING OF IMPUNITY OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY CLIQUE HAS BEEN KILLED! | ANIO NY FAHATSAPANA HO TSIMATIMANOTA EO AMIN'NY MIARAMILA ROSIANA NO VOAVONO! |
34 | Remember that, Caucasus! | Tsarovy izany ry Kaokazy! |
35 | Russian nationalists, on the other hand, believe that it is the Chechen separatists who enjoy impunity. | Ny nasionalista Rosiana kosa etsy ankilan'izany dia mino fa ny mpisintaka Tsetsenina no mizaka ny maha-tsimatimanota. |
36 | Nationalist blogger kon-budennogo wrote [ru]: | Mpamaham-bolongana Nasionalista kon-budennogo no manoratra [ru]: |
37 | The problem is that under Putin only the likes of Budanov, Ulman, Arakcheyev [Eduard Ulman and Sergei Arakcheyev were convicted of war crimes] go to trial. | Ny olana amin'ny fitondran'i Putin dia ny tahaka an'i Budanov, Ulman, Arakcheyev [Eduard Ulman sy Sergei Arakcheyev koa dia meloka no nanao heloka nandritra ny ady] ihany no tsaraina. |
38 | At the same time, if the side that the state had sent them to fight against doesn't like the verdicts, they get killed on top of it. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, raha tsy mankasitraka ny didim-pitsarana ny ankolafy izay anirahan'ny fitondrana azy ireo hiadiana, dia vonoiny ireny. |
39 | Where are the trials of the criminals who kept Russian slaves in Chechnya? | Aiza ny fitsarana ireo jiolahy izay nitazona andevo Rosiana tay Tsetsenia? |
40 | Are they taking place anywhere? | Nandeha toeran-kafa angaha ireny? |
41 | […] Where are the trials of the murderers of the Russian elderly people? | […] Aiza ny fitsarana ireo namono ny zokiolona Rosiana? |
42 | And of those who took hostages? | Ary ireo nanao takalon'aina? |
43 | In our country it is impossible even to imagine trials like that. | Eto amin'ny firenentsika dia tsy azo sainina akory ny hisian'ny fitsarana tahaka izany. |
44 | utnapishtim2008 commented [ru] on the question of whether there had been convicted war criminals on the Chechen side: | utnapishtim2008 no milaza ny heviny [ru] momba izay mety ho mpamono olona an'ady any amin'ny andaniny Tsetsenina: |
45 | There are lots of them, only after a while they stopped holding them captive - the local jury would find them innocent, then they [get killed] and that's it. | Maro izy ireo, saingy raha vao tapitra ny fanagadrana azy ireny - dia afahan'ny mpitsara ao an-toerana ry zareo, dia misy mamono avy eo dia izay. |
46 | In a long post on war crimes, ethnicity and an officer's honor, LJ user colonelcassad concluded [ru]: | Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra lava dia lava momba ny heloka an'ady, ny foko ary ny hajan'ny manamboninahitra ny mpisera LJ colonelcassad no mamarana [ru]: |
47 | My position is simple - our ancestors were able to be above the feeling of revenge, and we can, too. | Tsotra ny hevitro - Afaka nihoatra ny fahatsapana hamaly faty ny razambentsika, ary dia tahaka izany ihany koa isika. |
48 | We don't need revenge, we need a court - impartial and inevitable. | Tsy mila valifaty isika. |
49 | It is the absense of inevitable punishment by the state that brings to life fragmentary calls to revenge as a tool of justice. | Ny fahabangan'ny fanasaziana tsy azo ialana avy amin'ny fitondrana no mahatonga ny hiakiaka valifaty eny antsefatsefany eny ho fitaovam-pitsarana. |
