Assassination Attempt on Putin Thwarted
Vladimir Putin
Russian pro-governmental television channel Channel One reported that an alleged plan to assassinate Vladimir Putin after the presidential elections on March 4 has been foiled. According to the report the Ukrainian security services alerted Russia FSB security agency and that the plotters were detained early this year.
The story says that the Ukrainian security services arrested in the city of Odessa two man suspected of having planned an explosion in this port, which resulted in the death of a third plotter. The plotters, which militate for the creation of an Islamic state in the north Caucasus region of the Russian Federation, are said to have admitted that they wanted to go to Moscow and kill Putin after the election.
They described this exploit as their “final goal,” and said that the deadline was “after the presidential election.” According to Russian Interfax news agency, the spokesman for the Russian prime minister declined to comment on the information presented by Channel One.
BBC reports that the two arrested were showed by the television and were recorded as they were admitting their guilt in the explosion in Odessa. They were also showed on Russia TV, one of them giving an interview and the other being interrogated.
Ria Novosti identified one of them as Ilya Pyanzin, and said that he had been hired by Chechen leader Doku Umarov to carry out the killing, and the other was named by the Channel One Adam Osmayev. The one who died in Odessa is said to have been Ruslan Madayev.
They were supposed to mine the Kutuzovsky Avenue, which is used daily by the prime minister Putin to come to work. According to Russian media Pyanzin is said to have alleged that him and Madayev flew from the United Arab Emirates via Turkey with instructions to kill Putin received from Umarov’s representatives.
Details of the plots were found in the laptops in the flat where the two were arrested, as well as pictures of the presidential motorcade.
On Sunday, tens of thousands of Russians surrounded the Kremlin in a rally intended to convey the message that they did not want Putin back in the highest office. The rally was promised by those who had been protesting against general elections’ outcome on December 4, when Putin’s party was accused of having rigged the polls.
The protesters demanded that the election be rerun, and the prime minister Putin refused the proposal, arguing that it was nothing wrong with them.
In spite of the increase of the protests against him, Putin is expected to win the elections and become president of the Russian Federation for the third time, after serving two terms between 2000 and 2008.
Russian Constitution allows this kind of candidacy after sitting one term out, which Putin did when he switched position with the incumbent Dmitri Medvedev.
While some people consider Vladimir Putin the man who stopped the economic and political decline of the federation, other Russians consider him an autocrat ruling in a centralized manner, with the suppression of the liberties.
Many cases of human rights infringement are linked to his first two terms, though never to his person: the case of Mikhail Khodorkovsy, the tycoon who’s been in prison for the most part of his terms, and will be until 2016; the case of Aleksandr Litvinenko, the secret agent who was poisoned in London in 2006; the case of Anna Politovskaya, who was killed on the day Putin celebrated birthday, and others.
The most interesting such case is Aleksandr Litvinenko’s, who wrote a book called Blowing Up Russia: Terror from Within, in which the author says that the terrorist attacks in 1999 were staged by FSB, the Russian intelligence service, in order to justify the second Chechen war and create a spirit that would allow Vladimir Putin to come to power.
A few weeks ago, Khodorkovsky’s image in the prison cage was doctored so that it may show Putin in prison, with a comment that drew two million views on the Youtube in the first two days alone. The comments were saying that Putin had been arrested and sent to prison for theft of state property, financial fraud, abuse of office and plotting terrorist attacks.
Those who alluded that Putin or his close allies were behind the suspect deaths of his opponents were never able to prove their point in a court of law.
The presidential campaign which is about to end this week was full of accusations from the contenders, who demanded Putin to step down for the duration of the campaign so that he may not have an advantage out of being the incumbent prime minister of the country while running for president.
