Russia  Medvedev fires 7 top Russian police officers in ongoing reforms





Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has fired seven high-ranking police officers as part of his drive to improve policing in the country, the Kremlin announced on Friday.

The list includes a Moscow deputy police chief and generals in the regional forces of Chelyabinsk, Stavropol and the Urals.

Medvedev promised to clean up the country's police force following a series of high-profile scandals. A package of reforms passed by parliament earlier this year that comes into effect on March 1 requires a 20 percent cut in officer numbers by 2012.

It will also rename the Russian law enforcement agency from the time-honored "militia" to the Western-style "police."

FSB Deputy Chief Fired

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has dismissed Federal Security Service (FSB) deputy head Vyacheslav Ushakov over his poor performance, press secretary Natalya Timakova said on Monday.

"The president has signed a decree relieving FSB Deputy Director Col. Gen. Vyasheslav Ushakov of his official duties and discharging him from military service," Timakova said.

She added that the decision was made at the request of FSB head Alexander Bortnikov.

Asked about the reasons for Ushakov's dismissal, she said: "Shortcomings in his work and code of ethics violations."

Ushakov, who joined the service in 1975, was appointed FSB deputy chief in July 2003.

Russia:Reductions in police force not to involve Russia's North Caucasus - Medvedev


Cutting the number of policemen under the police reform in Russia will not affect the Caucasus, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said during a meeting of the National Counterterrorist Committee on Tuesday.

The draft federal law on Russia's police reform will come into effect from March 1, 2011. It includes changing the name of Russian law enforcers from "militsia" to the internationally accepted word "police," and will cut the number of policemen by 20% while increasing salaries to those remaining on board.

According to Medvedev, the number of police officers in the Caucasus will be increased in some cases.

"The protection of judges is effected... But this is only the beginning, the job should continue," the president said.

"Here in the Caucasus our citizens are confronted with terrorism almost daily, [terrorism] also exists in other parts of the country but in the Caucasus it is almost everywhere and terrorist attacks happen quite often," Medvedev said.

Medvedev admitted that radical improvements have not yet occurred. "Terrorist attacks in the past and this year indicate that our country has many problems with security," he said.

Medvedev said there "should be no relaxation and there are no universal recipes" in the fight against terrorism.

wow! this was pretty much the last remaining Americunt idiocy Russians hadn't adored yet.

Well isn't it first school shooting in Russia? I'm wonder why it didn't happen in 90ies when You could get PM with no probs, schools were like prisons and life was harsh.
Apparently prep was deluded and talked about after life. And he was with women clothing as well..

Yes, all Americunts are gun nuts and love to shoot each other up.

Oh god             http://en.itar-tass.com/russia/717379

now they'll start wave of useless anti-gun legislations instead of making it have more liberty as it should be. The fact that a police officer was shot also means that you can't completely rely on them and concealed carry should be legal for people wanting to do it.

Also those anti-gun laws won't solve Russia's main problem: domestic, alcohol and drugn induced violence most of it not commited by guns but by the economic hardship and current psychological influences.

Here in Bulgaria even though concealed carry is almost completely banned its very common even in the sity center for someone to slit your throat or bash with a bat while the policemen here are very spread up and thoroughly corrupt, so we are an example why gun bans don't mean absolutely anything.

I think he was being sarcastic.

He he he ..
I must say yu are correct on this.

I wonder when they'll start confiscating weapons from Chechens in Moscow or from nice folks in Caucasus where everyone and their grandmothers have AK under their beds. Remember Beslan when civilians were running around with guns too?
It's very easy to get gun in Russia even if You are not criminal element and it's easy to smuggle them in and out in small to medium quantities.

Perhaps they should ban murder and then people wont be killed any more...    

Don't laugh Garry but in Germany there is a law that bans death within a minister period, you are literally not allowed to die when you are any kind of minister position.To avoid high costs of government funeral and payment for widows. Our brilliant politicians really thaught that would prevent people from dying, rather than making a law that just does not grant ministers a government funeral, no you just not allowed to die. 

A Russian just told me that the statistics which report increase are fake and that there is an increasing problem.
That now you don't see any kids in the roads and that the situation declined steadily since 2008.
That you can't find nurseries for the kids and that most people don't rent houses to families with kids!
He also said that the last census was a joke and that he himself registered twice and that the total population was with the immigrants which by themselves are 7-10 million.
I know he is a retard and I certainly don't trust him but I raise the question here. Can this be true?

No and i would highly doubt that just because an alledged "russian" tells you something that it has any truth in it. Liars are everywhere and so far even independend numbers show the opposite of what that guy claimed.

Just interested where did you get this guy, sounds like some guy i seen on other forums who claimed to be russian, speaks fluently russian but is most problably estonian which enough factors indicated that thing, he also made lot of lies and supports lies that are hurting russia or russian image. People often like and try to address the problems that have been caused by Yeltzin and Gorbachov as Putins fault, like homeless increased, or in 90s were Yeltzin has granted USA and UK oil companies the Partner Sharing Aggreement were Russia itself did not get a single Dollar of all russian oil that was exported to UK/US, and some stupid stories of "millions" (recognize he meant plural) genocided chechenian civilists by "putins" order.

Nice

The «Bozena Riot» may buy for the recently established National Guard agency.   «Bozena Riot» security system, a light armored vehicle operated remotely with a massive protection shield for ‘crowd control and mass violence.



The system offers a solution for both protecting the law-enforcement units in action and controlling the situation whenever peace maintenance is required. The machine’s design follows the concept of the BOZENA 4 demining system, which has been in use in various countries across Europe, Africa, America and Asia for several years. BOZENA RIOT comes with a high performance, low noise and low-emission engine, equipped with internal automatic fire extinguishing features. The system can be supported with various accessories which serve as easily deployable, efficient tools capable of:

- Directing or dispersing gathered groups into desired directions or areas.
- Safe and effective access control.
- Direct observation and monitoring of the crowd situation enabling dispersal of serious rioters.
- Accessing buildings, bridges and other elevated positions occupied by aggressors, from an elevated platform.
- Communication with rioters through the loudspeaker and protected display situated in the front part of the system.
- Various other tasks such as removal of barricades, vehicles, dangerous objects and materials, by means of additional attachments.

The Maidan has demonstrated the need for a nerve gas approach to riot control. Tear gas, rubber bullets, barricades including moving ones such
as the above, etc. are ineffective dispersal agents. The militarized rioting scum needs to be taken out. Since a kull is not "civilized" a softer
option is needed. Work should be done on paralytic and knock-out gases or aerosols that will render the mob inert in a few minutes. The
challenge is to have some sort of built in dose control. In the case of the Nord Ost theater hostage crisis the use of an anesthetic resulted in
deaths because there was no dose control and people's lungs shut down and they suffocated.
