ВАЖНО: Чеченский фестиваль в Вашингтоне открывается сегодня
Внимание, особенно североамериканскому сектору ВИФа: судя по всему сегодня открывается фестиваль Чечни в Вашингтоне, США. Ниже приведена оригинальная рассылка с датами и конкретными событиями.
Краткая аннотация по-русски: разумеется, великая чеченская культура, растоптанная кровавыми русскими оккупантами. Геноцид чеченского народа - "Доколе?". Фильм Березовского "Взорванная Россия" - как ФСБ взрывала дома, чтобы получить повод напасть на Чечню. Несчастное гражданское население, которые русские бомбят и расстреливают. Уникальные съёмки "зачистки" мирного чеченского села. Автобиографический фильм журналиста Бабицкого, чудом ускользнувшего из кровавых рук ФСБ. И так далее...
Очень мне это не нравится... То ли начинается очередная пропагандистская компания, которая развернётся в стандартные уже завывания о "массовых захоранениях", "комнатах пыток" и "ОМП, так хорошо спрятанном, что найти его сложно", и так далее, то ли... Чёрт его знает... Сквознячок и остальные, свяжитесь со мной, обсудим возможные действия.
