The power and people
Why the state decided to care only of victims of the future terror acts?
To the President of the Russian Federation
To the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation
To the Chairman of the State Duma
We address to heads of our state through mass-media as we can not get through to neither the President of the Russian Federation, nor to the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation , to the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation more anyway.
Since 1st March, 2006 has come into force FL № 35 «About counteraction to terrorism». Article 19 of this Law is told, that social rehabilitation of victims is defined by the Government of the Russian Federation.
But the governmental order of the Russian Federation of 12th January, 2007 is told, the operation of the Law extends on legal relations, accrued from 01.01.2007″.
With 1999 we correspond … But nobody, except our higher governors, cannot solve a question of an adoption of Law On SOCIAL DEFENCE of the RIGHTS of the SUFFERED from the TERROR ACTS (all terror acts — in Moscow, Beslan, Buinaksk, Volgograd, Volgodonsk, Kaspiisk, Pyatigorsk and many other things which ALREADY HAPPENED, and not just what will occur from 01.01.2007).
In November, 2006 we addressed to all echelons of power with the request for necessity of an adoption of Law, on what we got usual answers in our last practice with instructions of department where our appeal s directed further:
From Administration of the President of the Russian Federation — to the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, then to the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.
From the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation – to the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, then to the Federal meeting of the Russian Federation.
From the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation to the Government of the Russian Federation.
Etc., etc.
Here last answer from the Safety Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of 07.03.2007.
«In view of the aforesaid, the questions raised in your appeal, are taken into consideration and will be considered in the further legislative work of committee in sphere of opposition to terrorist threat».
But then for seven years we addressed to the authorities of necessity of acceptance «the Law on social defense of the rights of the suffered from the terror acts», rather then about the problem of opposition to terrorist threat.
The organization of victims of terror act in Volgodonsk «Volga-Don» (Chairman Irina Ivanovna Khalay), RPO «Nord-Ost» (Co-chairman Tatyana Karpova), «the Voice of Beslan» (Chairman Emma Betrozova-Tagaeva), etc.
The comment «Novaya gazeta»
According to public organization «Nord-Oat», there were 55 acts of terrorism from 1995 to 2006 in Russia, 1802 persons were lost, more than 20 000 citizens of Russia suffered.
Since 2002 the former hostages and relatives of victims at Dubrovka brought up a question on necessity of acceptance of the federal law which would confirm the status «the suffered from the terror act» and provided measures on social protection of these citizens. Later the suffered from explosions of houses in Moscow and Volgodonsk, relatives of passengers Ту-134 which had been blown up in the summer 2004, Beslan have joined requirements of “Nord-Ost”. Lawyers L.Aivar and I.Trunov have prepared the Draft of the corresponding federal law which was long considered in the State Duma, but have not been recommended even to the first reading.
After the terror act in Beslan the President of Russia has publicly declared, that our state cannot provide to safety of the citizens . But who will tell, what the state is not in a condition at least to take care of those who survived? Assuming budgetary financing of security officials grown several times for last years. As, however, and quantity of victims of the terror acts grown. And orphans Frolov (9 and 11 years), lost their parents at «Nord-Ost» have got the monthly pension 250 rubles. Such here the surprising tendency: the more terror acts and victims, the more our secret services have got awar
