1 | Russia: A Last-Minute Overview of Pre-Election Blogging | Rosia: Fomba fijerin'ny Mpiblaogy ny Minitra Farany Alohan'ny Fifidianana |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Russia Elections 2011/12. On Dec. 31, 1999, as Russians were celebrating New Year's Eve, a holiday that transcends religion and politics, President Boris Yeltsin went on the air and announced that Vladimir Putin would be instated as acting President. | Tamin'ny 13 desambra 1999, raha nankalaza ny faran'ny taona ny Rosiana rehetra, andro tsy fiasana izay mampisongadina ny ara-pinoana sy ny ara-politika ,ny filoha Boris Yeltsin dia nanambara ampahibemaso fa Atoa Vladimir Putin no ho voatendry ho filoha amperinasa hisolo azy (vonjimaika). |
3 | Before signing off, he added: “I want to beg forgiveness for your dreams that never came true. | Talohan'ny nialany , dia nanampy izao teny izao izy : “Mangataka famelana tamin'ny nofinofinareo tsy nety totonsa aho. |
4 | And also I would like to beg forgiveness not to have justified your hopes.” | Ary iriko ihany koa ny hamelanareo ahy noho ny tsy nahatanterahako ny fanirianareo.” |
5 | In the aftermath of the devastating apartment bombings that occurred in September 1999 and the launching of the Second Chechen War, Mr. Putin's sole platform for the 2000 Russian presidential election was counter-terrorism in the North Caucasus. | Taorian ‘ny fipoahan'ny baomba tamina trano izay niseho tamin'ny septambra 1999 sy ny niatombohan ‘ny ady Tsetsenina faharoa, dia foto-kevitra tokana nijoroan ‘Atoa Putin ho amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena Rosiana 2000 ny ady amin'ny fampihorohoroana any amin'ny faritra avaratr'i Kaokazy. |
6 | Beyond that, Mr. Putin refused to campaign or to join a political party. | Ambonin'izany rehetra izany, Atoa Putin dia nandà ny hirona na ho mpikambana tamina antoko politika. |
7 | Nevertheless, he finished first among the 11 candidates with 53% of the vote - and the “Putin Era” began. | Na izany aza, dia izy no nitarika tao anatin'ny Kandida 11 tamin'ny ampaham-bato 53%-n'ny mpifidy -nanomboka teo ny “Vanim-potoanan'I Putin”. |
8 | Twelve years later, Mr Putin's candidacy seems much more turbulent, as protesters took to the the streets alleging improprieties in the Dec. 2011 parliamentary elections. | 12 taona aty aoriana , toa nanakoako kokoa ny firotsahan'Atoa Putin hofidiana raha toa ka nidina an-dalambe ny mpanohitra nitaky ny tsy maha ara-dalàna ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka tamin'ny desambra 2011. |
9 | Still, polling data suggests that he is heading into Sunday's election with the support of the majority of the electorate. | Na izany aza anefa, ny vokatra azo avy amin'ny famotopotorana dia nampiseho fa izy ihany no mitarika amin'ny Fifidianana ny Alahady amin'ny vato antsasa-manilan'ny mpifidy. . |
10 | Protesters hold a poster against the Russian Prime Minister and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin during a rally for fair elections in St. Petersburg, Russia. | Ny mpanohitra ,mitondra sary ,mitsipaka ny praiminisitra rosiana sy ny kandidà Vladimir Putin nandritra ny fifamoriana ho amin'ny fifidianana ara-dalàna tany St.Petersburg, Rosia. |

12 | For World Affairs Journal Blog, Vladimir Kara-Murza contextualized the March 4 election in a post entitled, “In Sunday's Vote, It's Putin Vs. Russia”: | Ho an'ny blaogin'i world affairs Journal , Vladimir Kara-Murza dia namehy ny fifidianana amin' ny 4 Martsa hitondra ny lohateny, “Ny fifidianana amin'ny alahady, adin'i Putin sy ny Rosiana”: |
13 | On Monday, Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki was at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, attending a performance of Rodion Shchedrin's opera Dead Souls. | Tamin'ny Alatsinainy , ny mpamorona sy mpandrindra poloney Krzysztof Penderecki dia nanatrika ny opera fanahin'ny maty an'i Rodion Shchedrin tao amin'ny trano teatra Bolshoi any Moskoa. |
14 | As the performance was getting underway, spectators noticed Penderecki in the box and started booing. | Rehefa nizotra ny fampisehoana dia tsikaritry ny mpijery i Penderecki teo amin'ny toerany ary dia nakorain'izy ireo. |
15 | The legendary musician was bewildered, not understanding the reason for such hostility. | Sanganehana noho izany ity mpamorona mozika malaza noho ny tsy fahazoany ny anton'izany fankahalana izany. |
16 | Only later was it explained to him that the audience mistook him for Vladimir Churov, the chairman of Russia's Central Electoral Commission - to whom he indeed bears an uncanny resemblance. | Taty aoriana vao nihanazava taminy fa nafangaron'ny mpijery tamin'i Vladimir churov , filohan'ny Mpanara-maso ny Fifidianana Anatiny - izay tena misy hitovizana lehibe aminy izy. |
17 | As Sunday's presidential election draws near, the public frustration with Vladimir Putin is becoming increasingly apparent. | Araky ny maha akaiky ny andro fifidianana filoham-pirenena ny alahady, dia hita mitombo ny fihariharian' ny fahadisoam-panantenan'ny vahoaka amin'i Vladimir Putin. |
18 | Over the weekend, thousands of Muscovites formed a human chain alongside the 10-mile Garden Ring Road - inspired by the pro-independence “Baltic Way” of 1989 - to protest Putin's return to power and demand free and fair elections. | Nandritra ny faran'ny herinandro, moskovita amanarivony maro no nifampitantana nanao rojo-vakana efa ho 16km tamin'ny lalana Garden Ring - nalaina tahaka avy tamin' ny fitakiana fahaleovan-tena “Lalana Baltika” tamin'ny 1989 - ho fanoherana ny fiverenan'i Putin ho amin'ny fahefana sy fangatahana fifidianana malalaka sy mangarahara. |
19 | In St. Petersburg, thousands of people from across the political spectrum marched through the city center calling for “a peaceful revolution.” | Any St. Petersburg, olona aman'arivony maro avy amin'ireo antoko politika samihafa no nilahatra teo afovoan-tanàna nitaky ny” revolisiona am-pilaminana. |
20 | Attitudes to the regime are also being expressed in less political ways: a mock Channel One “news report” from the future showing Putin's arrest and trial in Moscow became an instant online hit, with five million views in one week. […] | ” ny fihetsik'izy ireo manoloana ny fitondrana araka izany dia tsy maneho hetsika ara-politika loatra: ny fahitalavitra iray dia nampiseho “ fitateram-baovao” ny amin'ny ho avy izay mampiseho ny fisamborana an'i Putin sy ny fitsarana azy any Moskoa ary nanjary isan'ny be mpijery indrindra an-tsehatra izany satria dia mahatratra 5 tapitrisa isan-kerinandro ny mpijery izany. [ |
21 | Sean Guillory of Sean's Russia Blog provided the background for the candidates running against Mr. Putin: | …] Sean Guillory avy amin'ny Sean's Russia Blaogy dia namoaka famelabelarana ho an'ny kandidà hifaninana amin'Atoa Putin: |
22 | […] Indeed, the Russian presidential election has been anything but ordinary. | […] marina fa, ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena Rosiana hatramin'izay dia toy ny zava-drehetra afa-tsy ny mahazatra. |
23 | Sure, the official cast of characters remains virtually identical to past contests, save a few additions. | Azo antoka fa, ny fitsinjarana ofisialy ny andraikitra dia mijanona ho toy ny tamin'ny fifaninanana rehetra teo aloha, saingy mety hisy hanatombo kely. |
24 | Communist Party stalwart, Gennady Ziuganov still plays the role of “loyal opposition in-chief,” the aging face of a Communist Party that has the organizational resources to actually present a political alternative to Putin, but lacks the so-called “Leninist will” to adapt to present political conditions. | Ny andrin'ny antoko Kominista , Gennady Ziuganov dia mbola mitazona ny maha “lehiben' ny Mpanohitra manara-penitra ,azy” antoko kominista efa ela nietezana izay mbola manana ny rafi-pandaminana fototra ara-politika hahafahana handimby an' i Putin, saingy tsy ampy ny atao hoe: “Faniriana Leninista” ifanentanana amin'ny fepetra ilain'ny politika ankehitriny. |
25 | Part of that adaption, however, would require dumping Ziuganov and forsake its aging electorate, something the KPRF mandarins and rank and file are still unwilling to do. Opposite Ziuganov is Vladimir Zhirinovsky, another perennial “loyal oppositionist.” | Takian ‘izany fifanentanana izany koa anefa ny fanalana an'i Ziuganov sy ireo mpifidy efa antitra mpanara-dia azy, tranga izay tsy ho ankasitrahan'ny KPRF fikambanan'ny mpampianatra sy ny manam-pahalalana sy ny ambaratongam-pahefana sy ny fampitan-kevitra, hatao. Mpifanandrina amin'i Ziuganov i Vladimir Zhirinovski, “mpanohitra ara-dalàna “ iringiriny ihany koa izy io.” |
26 | Zhirik plays the harlequin in this grand performance, adding outrageous, comic relief to a show already thin on drama. | Zhiric dia milalao ny toeran'ny mpanisy sira amin'ity tranga ity amin'ny alalan'ny fampisavorovoroana , ny lafiny fampiomehezana amina fampisehoana izay efa tsy dia nahataitra loatra . |
27 | In a way, Zhirinovsky reflects the whole process itself, a clown for a clownish spectacle. | Amin'ny lafiny iray izany, Zhirinovsky dia taratry ny fahafenon'ny fepetra ilaina, toy ny mpampiomehy amin'ny fampisehoana mampiomehy. |
28 | Then there is Mikhail Prokhorov, the new addition to the cast. | Manarak'izay dia misy an'i Mikhail Prokhorov, olom-baovao manampy ny lisitra. |
29 | Prokhorov serves as a kind of Khodorkovsky-lite (since the real Khodorkovsky is less pliable and, well, in jail for the foreseeable future). | Prokhorov dia toa karazana Khodorkovsky-lite (( hatramin' izay naha enjan-katoka an'i Khodorkovsky izay ary maha voatana am-ponja azy mandritra ny fotoana ho avy). |
30 | An oligarch who “made” the bulk of his wealth in the “loans for shares” scheme that saved Boris Yeltsin from defeat in the 1996 Presidential election, Prokhorov, unlike Khodorkovsky, not only understood the rules of the game, but also played them correctly. | Andriana “nahazo” ny ampahany betsaka amin'ny harenany tamin'ny “fampindramam-bola atakalo tombam-pananana” firehana izay tsy nahalatsaka an'i Boris Yeltsin tamin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena tamin'ny taona 1996, Prokhorov, na teo aza izany anefa dia tsy mba toa an'i Khodorkovsky, izy fa sady mahalala tsara ny fitsipi-dalao no mampiasa izany araka ny tokony ho izy. |
31 | But the biggest question that has dogged Prokhorov is not his past, but whether he's a Kremlin project or not. | Fa ny fanontaniana lehibe izay tena manenjika an'i Prokhorov dia tsy ny momba ny lasany fa ny hoe, ao anatin'ny vinavinan'ny Kremlin ve izy sa tsia. |
32 | I suspect that he's a mixture. | Manahy aho fa mety ho ny fitambaran'izy roa. |
33 | One thing is clear to me after reading Julia Ioffe's profile of him in the New Yorker is that Prokhorov's biggest obstacle is that he's a sleazeball. | Rehefa avy namaky ny New Yorker misy ny mombamomba azy nosoratan'i Julia Ioffe aho dia nihanazava tamiko fa ny tena sakana lehibe ho an'i Prokhorov dia noho izy tsy azo itokisana . |
34 | Bringing up the rear is Just Russia's candidate, Sergei Mironov. | Mamarana azy ny kandida an I Rosia,Sergei Mironov. |
35 | His candidacy only inspires one question: Who's he? […] | Ny fanontaniana mipetraka momba ny firotsahany dia ny fanontaniana hoe: iza moa io lehilahy io? […] |
36 | Along with the results of the election itself, freedom of expression has been a resounding issue for the past few months. | Niaraka tamin'iny valim-pifidianana iny , dia fanontaniana niverimberina nandritra ny volana vitsivitsy ny momba ny fahalalahana haneho hevitra. |
37 | Committee to Protect Journalists Blog provided details to the backlash the Russian media endured after its coverage of the protests surrounding the controversial Dec. 2011 parliamentary elections: | Ny blaogin'ny fikambanan'ny mpiaro ny mpanao gazety dia namoaka ny antsipirihan' ny fihetsika nozakain'ny haino aman-jery Rosiana taorian'ny namoahan'izy ireo ny ady hevitra momba ny fanakianana manodidina ny ady hevitra momba ny fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka tamin'ny desambra 2011: |
38 | […] On December 12, Russian tycoon Alisher Usmanov, owner of the Kommersant Publishing House - which produces independent business daily Kommersant and several other news outlets - announced that he was sacking Maksim Kovalsky, chief editor of the popular weekly magazine Kommersant-Vlast. | […] Tamin'ny 12 Desambra, Rosiana mpanao afera Alisher Usmanov, tompon'ny trano fanontana Kommersant Publishing House - izay mamokatra ny independent business daily Kommersant sy mpanao gazety maro hafa dia nilaza fa noroahiny i Mazksim Kovalsky, Lehiben' ny mpanoratra amin'ny gazety mpivoaka isan-kerinandro malaza Kommersant Vlast. |
39 | Demyan Kudryavtsev, the publisher's executive director, announced he would resign. | Nilaza tao aorian'izany Demyan Kudryavtsev, talen'ny fanontana fa hametra-pialana. |
40 | The news was a huge blow, as Kovalsky and Kudryavtsev are leading journalists and considered fathers of Kommersant and its publisher. | Nanohina azy loatra izany vaovao izany , sady Kovalsky sy Kudryavtsev dia mpanao gazety fanta-daza no natao ho toy ny rain ‘i Kommersant sy ny mpiasany. |
41 | The magazine's coverage of the parliamentary election was surely the reason for Kommersant‘s beheading. | Ny lohatenin-gazety momba ny fifidianana solom-bavam-bahoaka no inoana fa antony namotehana an I Kommersant. |
42 | A week after the vote, most of Kommersant-Vlast‘s coverage was of the alleged fraud that led to public outrage and protests unprecedented in Russia in the past decade. | Herinandro tao aorian'ny fifidianana mantsy ny ankamaroan'ny lohatenin-gazety navoakan'ny Kommersant-Vlast dia momba ny hosoka izay nolazaina fa nisy nandritra ny fifidianana ka nitarika ny fahatezerana sy fikomian'ny vahoaka izay tsy mbola fahita tany Rosia hatamin'izay 10 taona lasa izay. |
43 | But Usmanov - believed to be in Putin's close circle - zeroed in on a formal reason to punish the magazine. | Fa i Usmanov kosa -izay fantatra fa olona akaiky an'I Putin- dia nanitsy izany ho toy ny antony mari-pototra ho fanasaziana ny gazety. |
44 | In its December 12 issue, Kommersant-Vlast published a picture of a ballot cast in London for the opposition Yabloko party; the ballot carried a hand-written insult to Putin across it. | Tamin'ny laharana navoaka ny 12 desambra , Kommersant -Vlast dia namoaka sarin' ny vatom-pifidianana tany Londre izay an'ny antoko mpanohitra Yabloko; ary misy sora-tànana manompa an'I Putin io vato io. |
45 | Usmanov publicly scolded the magazine for “unacceptable use of coarse language,” and said it was unethical and “on the borderline of hooliganism.” | Nosazian ‘i Usmanov ampahibemaso noho izany ity gazety noho ny antony “ tsy fanekena ny fampiasana teny ratsy” izay mifanohitra amin'ny toe-tsaina ary efa manakaiky ny “Hooliganisma “. |
46 | The magazine removed the picture from its website, but it was circulated on social networks, including Kommersant reporter Oleg Kashin's Twitter account. | Voatery namindra izany sary izany ny gazety saingy hita ihany amin'ny tambajotra sosialy hafa , anisan ‘izany ny twitter an ‘I Oleg Kashin , mpanadihady ao amin'ny Kommersant, io sary io. |
47 | The removal of Kovalsky and Kudryavtsev angered their colleagues at Kommersant. | Ny fanesorana an ‘I Kovalsky sy Kudryavtsev dia nahatezitra ireo mpiara-miasa aminy tao amin'ny kommersant. |
48 | Two days later, dozens of journalists from Usmanov's news outlets - including independent news website Gazeta - signed and published online an open letter headlined, “We are forced into cowardice.” | Roa andro taty aoriana ,andiana mpanao gazety avy amin' ny filazam-baovaon'I Usmanov- anatin'izany ny takelaka mahaleo-tena Gazeta- nanao Sonia ary namoaka taratasy misokatra an-tsehatra mitondra ny lohateny hoe” voatery izahay hiraviravy tànana.” |
49 | Veronika Kucyllo, a long-serving deputy editor at Kommersant-Vlast, announced her resignation in protest of Usmanov's decision. | Veronika Kucyllo , mpanoratra mpanampy efa ela nihetezana tao amin'ny Kommersant -Vlast, dia nametra-pialana ho fanoherana ny fanapahan-kevitr'I Usmanov. |
50 | Another important theme this election season has been the role of citizen media as a catalyst of political activism in Russia. | Isan'ny foto-kevitra nisongadina tamin' ny fotoanan'ity fifidianana ity koa ny anjara asan'ny haino aman-jerin'ny olom-pirenena izay nanainga ny hetsika politika any Rosia. |
51 | Even though they are harder to censor than mainstream news sources, they are not totally immune to censorship, as Global Voices discussed in a post entitled, “Why are Russians Protesting Now?” | Na sarotra aza ny fampiharana ny fanasivanana amin'izy ireo noho ireo filazam-baovao lehibe natao ho an'ny daholobe, dia tsy afa-miala tanteraka amin'izany sivana izany izy ireo. Na izany aza , nisy ny adi-hevitra mitondra ny lohateny hoe “ Inona no antony hikomian'ny Rosiana ankehitriny?” tao amin'ny Global Voices. |
52 | In a post entitled, “The Man Vladimir Putin Fears Most,” Wall Street Journal Blog predicts that blogger and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny will have an impact on the presidential election: | Ny lohateny, “ Ny lehilahy Vladimir Putin no tena ahatahorana”ao amin'ny blaogin'i Wall Street Journal dia maminavina fa ny mpitoraka blaogy no sady mpiady amin'ny kolikoly Alexei Navalny dia hanana traika amin'ny fifidianana filoham-pirenena |
53 | […] Anticorruption blogger and activist Alexei Navalny will be in the middle of it - as he has been over the past three months of Russia's unexpected political awakening. | […]Ny mpitoraka blaogy, mpiady amin'ny kolikoly sy mpitolona Alexei Navalny dia tsy maintsy ho hita eo anivon'io fifidianana io ,raha toa ka tao anatin'ny telo volana izay dia tsy nampoizina ny famohazany ny politika rosiana. |
54 | By the tens of thousands, Russians shed their fear and apathy to protest December's fraud-ridden parliamentary elections and Mr. Putin's hold on power. | Amanalinalina ny vahoaka rosiana no nanala ny fahatezerany sy ny fandeferany tamin' ny alalan'ny fanoherana ny hosoka izay nitranga tamin'ny fifidianana solom-bavam-bahoaka tamin'ny volana desambra sy ny fihazonan'Atoa Putin ny fahefana . |
55 | From a crowded stage of opposition figures, Mr. Navalny has emerged as the charismatic and fresh face of the movement. | Eo amin' ny sehatra ahitàna endriky ny mpanohitra maro dia hita fa misongadina amin'izy ireo Atoa Navalny izay manana ny endri-baovao mahasarika sy mahakasika ny fon' ny vahoaka . |
56 | The next phase will test him and the opposition. | Ny dingana manaraka dia ny fitsapana azy sy ny antoko mpanohitra. |
57 | The series of large demonstrations after December exposed the shallowness of support for Mr. Putin in the large cities and public frustration with the political stagnation and lack of accountability in Russia. | Ny fifandimbiasan'ny hetsika lehibe taorian'ny volana desambra dia maneho ny fihalefahan'ny fanohanana an'Atoa Putin any amin' ny tànan-dehibe sy ny fahadisoam-panantenan'ny vahoaka noho ny tsy fisiam-pivoarana ara-politika sy tsy fahampian'ny fandraisana andraikitra any rosia. |
58 | Yet the rallies forced no notable government concessions. | Na izany aza , ireny fivoriana ireny dia nanery ny governemanta mahefa tsy hilefitra mihitsy. |
59 | Though weakened, Mr. Putin gets a new term and possibly energy to reverse his slide or to crack down. […] | Na dia nihalefy aza ny herin'Atoa Putin , dia nahazo fe-potoana vaovao indray izy izay mety hahafahany manovo hery hivadihany moramora na amim-pihetsika mahery. [ |
60 | Tolik Belenko's Russian-language LiveJounal blog included a link to a “Nashi” announcement [ru] that the pro-Putin youth group has made plans to quash civil unrest in the aftermath of the elections: | …] Ny blaogin'i Tolik Belenko LiveJournal amin'ny teny Rosiana dia nampiditra rohy, filazana avy amin'ny “Nashi” izay manambara fa ireo vondrona tanora mpanaradia an'I Putin dia nanao tetika hanafoanana ny fikorontanam-bahoaka ao aorian'ny voka-pifidianana: |
61 | On March 5, a few thousand activists from the groups “Nashi” and “Steel” will take to the streets of Moscow in order to prevent any illegal activity aimed at destabilizing society in the aftermath of the Russian presidential election. | Tamin'ny 5 martsa, dia mpikambana teo amin'ny arivo teo ho eo avy ao amin' ny vondrona “Nashi” sy “Steel” no nidina an-dalambe tany Moscou mba ho fanakanana ny fihetsika tsy ara-dalàna izay mikendry ny fikorontanan' ny fiaraha-monina aorian'ny voka-pifidianana filoham-pirenena Rosiana. |
62 | LJ user tolik_belenko also shared the link to Nashi's announcement on his ya.ru page [ru]. | Mpisera LJ Tolik_Belenko ihany koa dia nizara rohy momba ny fanambarana nataon'ny Nashi tao amin'ny takelaka ya.ru [ru]. |
63 | Readers' comments were somewhat ominous. | Ny valin-tenin'ny mpamaky tamin' izany dia toa nampihorohoro ihany. |
64 | Johnny TraHvoltin wrote [ru]: | Johnny TraHvoltin dia nanoratra fa [ru]: |
65 | This has already happened, though not with us, but in China, when [Mao Zedong] occasionally called out the [Red Guards Hóng Wèibīng] troops to the streets in order to maintain order. | Toe-javatra efa niseho io saingy izy tsy mbola taty amintsika fotsiny , fa tany Shina, fony Mao Zedong niantso manokana ny tafika mena Hong wèibing hiditra an-tsehatra ho fifehezana ny filaminana. |
66 | How did it end? | Nanao ahoana ny fiafaran'izany? |
