Saddam Hussein

Your strict assertion "Iraq was a Soviet ally," with suggestions otherwise constituting "POV falsifications" is overly simplistic. For instance, following the Ba'athists' repression of Iraqi Communists in the late 1970s and Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq at times showed signs of shifting toward a more pro-Western orientation.

Perhaps the Soviets come up on the higher end in studies attempting to measure and compare the sum total over time of material aid to Iraq from the superpowers. But in the Saddam biography, the timing is relevant, not the comparison of sums over time.

If this point is new to you, familiarizing yourself with scholarship on international relations will be helpful. Abiding concepts of warfare since Sun Tzu in ancient China and Clausewitz in the modern West have always understood that war is not static. This principle has even been codified legally by the Nuremberg Tribunal, which noted in 1946 that the law of war "is not static" but fought by "continual adaptation."

On conflict in the modern Middle East, consult works by Middle East specialists, who highlight the multi-sided nature of conflict in post-colonial Iraq. Both superpowers, in their competition to influence strategic areas of the world, pursued defense and diplomatic policies influenced by influenced by the volatile post-colonial internal politics of the Middle East, conditioned by frequent shifting factional alliances and changes in regime.

Hi 172,

My position is that two countries are allied if they have a pact of alliance. The Soviets and Iraq had such a pact. The US and Iraq didn't. In the links that I introduced in the article is included a summary of a meeting between Kissinger and his Iraqi colleague in which the latter states quite unequivocally that Iraq is on the other side of the fence and will remain so as long as the US supports Israel . I grant you that the US did offer some support to Iraq, primarily so after 1983, but not on the scale that the Russians did. I'm really concerned that you deleted the link to the page that made that clear.

Looking at the figures again, we can see that over the entire period the deliveries from the Warzaw Pact countries was 150 times the US shipments, on twelve of the seventeen years US shipments were none, and on the peak US year, 1988, US shipments barely reached a 10% of the level from the Warzaw Pact bloc.

More importantly the claims that:
- Saddam was primarily an anti-communist when the nationalizm of pan-arabism is unequivocally directed against the West, and
- Saddam was integral to US policy with the intention of balancing the Iranians and the Soviets and in particular prior to 1979 when the shah was the US ally, and
- that the border adjustment "imposed" in the 1920s between Iraq and Kuwait justified the Iraqi war of aggression, and
- that it was exclusively the boycott of Iraq that caused the misery of the Iraqi people and not Saddam's misappropriations of accrued revenues,
not only misrepresent history but also is so POV that the article was translated into propaganda.

Best Regards,

Prezen 20:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Your position "two countries are allied if they have a pact of alliance" is overly simplistic. In international relations, the formal signing of a pact or an alliance does not necessarily result in changing conduct and relationships in world affairs on the part of actors. The signing of an alliance may be merely a symbolic matter, or a legal anachronism. For instance, the 1950 Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship did not formally expire until around a decade following armed clashes between the Chinese and the Soviets during the Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969!

Regarding whether Saddam's orientation as a leader was anti-communist, the answer again depends on context. In 1973 the Ba'athists attempted to establish a national front with the Iraqi Communist Party. I'm not aware of evidence suggesting that Saddam, who had by then established a key role in foreign policy, opposed these efforts initially. However, we can describe Saddam's stance as clearly anti-communist from the late 1970s on. By 1978 Saddam led a campaign of repression against the party. Shortly afterwards the party officially denounced the regime. Saddam continued to repress the Iraqi Communists until the end of his rule.

No editor has argued "the border adjustment 'imposed' in the 1920s between Iraq and Kuwait justified the Iraqi war of aggression." Summarizing an Iraqi nationalist point of view is not a justification. Of course, one may report the views of a particular group or individual without necessarily supporting that view.

Which editor has argued "exclusively the boycott of Iraq that caused the misery of the Iraqi people?" I doubt anyone editing the article is so stupid. You may be confusing contributions summarizing reports by Western humanitarian critics of the sanctions with 1990s Iraqi propaganda. 172 | Talk 21:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The Soviets had a pact with Iraq, the US didn't. Occasionally pacts don't represent reality, in this case, however, the pact was neither anachronistic nor symbolic. Cooperation between the Russians and the Iraqis was real: Iraqi generals studied at the Frunze academy in Moscow, Russian pilots flew Iraqi fighters, Soviet transport aircraft landed at Iraqi airports when flying arms to Ethiopia for its struggle with Somalia. Claiming that Iraq was integral in US efforts to block Soviet influence is history upside-down and inside-out.

Regarding Saddam's putative anti-communism, yes he did kill a few communist nonentities towards the end of the seventies, but that doesn't seem to have prevented neither the government of communist countries like Soviet Union, China, Yugoslavia nor for that matter Western socialists like Chomsky, Pilger etc from embracing him, so it doesn't seem to have been a significant factor, in any camp. But this just evades the issue, the main point of Baathism, pan-arabism, Arab Socialism, Iraqi Nazism or whatever you want to call Saddam's ideology was countering Western Imperialism, which means Israel, the oil companies and the pro-Western countries like Kuwait and Saudi-arabia.

Re the border change that the British created (as I put it) or imposed (as you changed it) in the 1920s, it was as far as I can see entirely inland and had no impact whatsoever on Iraq's connection with the sea. You may not realize this, but by emphasizing the imposing you favour the Iraqi pretensions.

Finally the economic impact of the boycott, in my version both view points was represented, in the reverted version only the Iraqi view point was represented in such wording that it seemed to be the objective truth. Again this is POV pure and simple.

Would you mind me copying this discussion to the talk page of the SH article, BTW? Prezen 22:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Sourced Cheka edits

On what page is the 250,000 figure specified? The page number for this figure doesn't seem to have been provided initially, so that number is in question as well as the 50,000. TheQuandry 19:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe it was in the introductory chapter on KGB history. I'm looking now. Prezen 20:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I put this on your talk page and am now copying it to mine:

Bottom of page 28, The Sword and the Shield, paperback edition, Basic books: "During the civil war, by contrast, Cheka executions probably numbered as many as 250,000, and may well have exceeded the number of death in battle." Attached to the sentence is a footnote 30 which refers to vol. 10, ch. 3, para 23. If I understand the bibliography section correctly vol refers to typewritten notes made by Mitrochin himself. Do we restore my edit? Prezen 20:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. TheQuandry 23:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Cylonhunter 15:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)==Gulf War== I am just here because you called my revert vandalism. I do not believe that it was vandalism. I probably should have changed the sentence to " which can be loaded with nuclear or chemical warheads" or something to that effect

The SCUDS were weapons of mass destruction according to the US definition. They were never intended for conventional warheads due to their low accuracy. So I think the original phrazing was correct. Prezen 10:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok sorry for the trouble

Good work on the Cheka article, Prezen. Entries such as this typically seem to bring the pov-pushing apologists out of the woodworks, so your contribution in balancing the article is greatly appreciated. Porfyrios 15:58, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Mitrokhin Archive

Hi Prezen, I have noticed that you was interested in Mitrokhin Archive. Could you take a look at recent editing there and tell what you think. In my opinion, this is extremely POV editing made by User:Vlad_fedorov who wikistalked me for months. See Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Vlad_fedorov. Best regards, Biophys 16:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• First, users Biophys, Ilgiz and Colchicum never contacted me on a Talk page and tried to resolve the dispute. In fact they just demanded me to stop the editing of the articles. They also never tried to resolve the dispute. They also haven't presented evidence of trying to resolve the dispute with me. Complains to the Administrators noticeboards and false, unsupported accusations of my violations of Misplaced Pages policies are not a method of resolving the dispute.

• Second, they violate 'good faith' obligatory assumption in cliaming that I stalk them. I am a newcomer to the Misplaced Pages. I was brought to the Misplaced Pages, because the article on Boris Stomakhin created by Biophys was completely outrageous since it turned everything uspide down. Convicted criminal Stomakhin was presented as a hero, besides his calls to exterminate all Russians, to destroy Russian with atomic explosion, to commit terrorist attacks on Russian civilians.

• Third, accusations presented here were already taken up at vurtually every Administrators, incident, 3RR, BLP noticeboards and administrators talk pages. So they just mainly repeat their accusations. I have never received any warnings from administrators, because otherwise they would have gladly published these warnings already here. I was just arbitrarily blocked by non-Russian, English speaking admin William Connolley. This admin, however, later helped me to clarify the points of dispute which I had with Biophys over Boris Stomakhin article, but unfortunately he left the discussion on the talk page of Boris Stomakhin article, when the critical decision on the validity of Biophys accusations was needed.

• Fourth, these accusations pursue the goal to harass me and to stop me from contributing another POV into the articles dedicated to Russia.

• Fifth, I also would like to bring all these issues to the arbitration, because the allegations of Biophys and Colchicum that I violate Misplaced Pages policy by citing reliable sources defame me and are directed not on the sources, but on my person. I would like to have finally a decision of an arbitrator/mediator/administrator that my sources are valid and reliable, the are not contradictory and do not violate anything. The problem is that Biophys claims that every my contribution violates Misplaced Pages policies. This is a strategy taken by him in order to discredit every introduced material presenting other point of view.

The underlying problem, in my opinion, is the personal dislike of me and revenge of user Biophys against me for the following:

1)Dispute over Boris Stomakhin article.

In this dispute Biophys has created this article in order to present the evidence for human rights violations in Russia and to make the point in the article Human rights in Russia. However, the initial version of this article was totaly one-sided and presented just allegations of human rights activists and other defenders of Boris Stomakhin. In order to make the article NPOV and to add other POV I have added the official text of the Court sentence and Investigation conclusion on Boris Stomakhin. Also I have added Boris Stomakhin citation taken from the official website of his organization. These contributions made Biophys personal opinion on Stomakhin and his initial version of the article to look controversial. The edit war resulted because Biophys claimed that all my sources violate biography of living person policy. He was deleting opinions of the journalists from such respectable Russian newspapers as Komsomolskaya Pravda, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Izvestia. See the respective version of my edit of Boris Stomakhin article here http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Boris_Stomakhin&oldid=105173635

In order to delete my contributions from the article, Biophys had employed a strategy of accusing me of violations of Misplaced Pages policies. Namely, he declared that all my contributions are taken from the contradictory sources which violate Misplaced Pages BLP policy. Namely he claimed that the article of Izvestia journalist Maksim Sokolov who also was a talk show showman and is very respectable and famous journalist in Russia contradicts to the website of Boris Stomakhin. It was established that from the citated passage two citations of Boris Stomakhin are found in his articles on his website, and the third citation is not found here. Therefore it was established that Biophys claims about contradictions are false. See the discussion here http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Boris_Stomakhin#quote_.22Death_to_Russia.22.

As Biophys failed to present the evidence of contradictions he chose to accuse me of other violations http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Boris_Stomakhin#Violations_of_LP_policy. He claimed after that the source (Izvestia newspaper article) is unreliable, it is not neutral, and it is "non-encyclopedic". As you see these accusations are not supported by any facts and resent just empty accusations. It is laughable to claim that the source is not neutral, sine the neutrality may be restored by presenting other POV and it is easy enough. However, Biophys pursued the goal of complete deletion of sources presenting POV which contradicts to his personal opinion. He failed to support his accusations here http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Boris_Stomakhin#Points_to_answer_for_Biophys and here http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Boris_Stomakhin#Violations_of_LP_policy.

Following the edit warring between me and User:Biophys, Boris Stomakhinarticle was protected by administrator User:Cbrown1023 who told that he would unprotect that page till I reach an agreement with User:Biophys. The underlying problem for edit warring is that Biophys holds strognly Russophobic views and maintains that criminal Boris Stomakhin, who got 5 years of prison in Russia for public calls to extremism and terrorism against Russians including me, is actually innocent dissident and there is conspiracy against him by Russian government

Here http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Boris_Stomakhin#quote_.22Death_to_Russia.22 Biophys wrote the following:

I am not talking about Izvestia at all. I am talking about this citation by Sokolov. 
It was taken from another unreliable and not identified by Sokolov source (probably 
RKO site). He also made a composition from three different articles/sources but 
misrepresented this as a single continuous citation. We do not want such citations 
in Misplaced Pages. Sokolov discloses his "source": Stomakhin (this is not a case with 
protecting an anonymous witness). Of course, he does it! The entire article by 
Sokolov is clearly a defamation of a dissident ordered by government (there are  
numerous cases like that in Soviet history). But this is not my argument at the 
moment. The argument is poor source - RKO site. Biophys 19:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC) 

Biophys himself took his text material inserted into the article Boris Stomakhin from blog . As you could see phrases in the current article Boris Stomakhin match those found in Blog La Russophobe. It is evident that this Blog La Russophobe is inciting ethnic hatred at least. The page of that blog http://russophobe.blogspot.com/2006/06/why-is-lr-russophobe-why-arent-you.html says that you should hate russians. User:Biophys insists that we should agree on exclusion from the article of citations taken from Russian respectable newspapers which hints that Stomakhin is not really innocent peaceful dissident, but actually almost a fascist. My question for Misplaced Pages administrators: If Misplaced Pages is a proper place for publishing Russophobic statements (anti-semitic statements), inciting ethnic hatred against Russians? I understand the position of User:Cbrown1023 who doesn't want to verifiy reliability of Russian texts, but a simple search in Google on Boris Stomakhin would lead to all Russophobe sources which are published by User:Biophys in current protected version of the article on Boris Stomakhin. I am astonished that Misplaced Pages administrators allow to paint people like Osama bin Laden like peaceful dissidents.

Biophys refused to negotiate, he demanded to scrap all sources which may prove that Stomakhin is a fascist. Here is his message and respective diffs , :

Sorry, but I insist to exclude this paragraph for the reasons
explained above. This is my last word. There is nothing to 
discuss here. Biophys 23:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Therefore, I have filed petition for Cabal Mediation on Boris Stomakhin article here http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-02-10_Boris_Stomakhin

Biophys is a very interesting user, who contributes only to two topics: either anti-Russian propaganda, such as Putin (Putin phallus, Putin's citations), involvement of Russian in world terrorism, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Mitrokhin archieve and etc.) where he advances only one POV - Russophobic, or Biophysics (hence that's why he had chosen his nick). He never contributes to NPOV materials and holds extreme Anti-Russian position. Initially article about Boris Stomakhin was designed by Biophys to claim violations of freedom of speech in Russia (article 'Human rights in Russia'). However after I edited this article to present another POV, he began his personal vendetta on me by reverting and deleting all other materials, because my edits had compromised his edits at the article 'Human rights in Russia'. Incidentaly, the article was edited by two Russian admins - Alex Bakharev and Mikka, but Biophys was reverting and deleting even their versions, without any hesitation.

2)Accusations of Stalking.

As could be seen from the complaint, applicants do not show the real evidence of me stalking them, they just provide links to the history pages of some articles. It could be seen from these pages, that my edits, contributed to these articles, are deleted by users Biophys and Colchicum in no more than 24 hours period.

Moreover, the fact that some pages were created by Biophys and Colchicum doesn't grant them any authority or powers to publish false information in them. And certainly doesn't forbid other users from editing their one-sided stories by adding relevant and sourced material.

Users Biophys and Colchicum never tried to resovle any disputes with me. Empty and false accusations on Administrators noticeboards are not a method of peaceful dispute resolution. Personal attacks and unsupported deletions of my contributions, intimidation and threats are certainly not the way a man could resolve a dispute.

Users Colchicum and Biophys claim that I currently 'stalk' them. However, it could be easily ascertained form the Colchicum contributions page that he is editing the following articles:

That I do not follow edits of the user Colchicum and his claims that I disrupt his edits and Misplaced Pages activities are false. Moreover the articles which he refers to in his support were not created by him, but by user Biophys. Therefore, user Colchicum allegations are not supported by the real facts and are fraudulent. He just tries to help his fellow Biophys there. Moreover, Colchicum invites other users who presented POV identical with him to harass me, in particular user Ilgiz - http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Ilgiz&diff=prev&oldid=109309046. They also try to intimidate users who are supporting me and it's going on right here on discussion page http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Vlad_fedorov. Here Colchicum writes false accusations that I personally pursue him by stalking his edits which is clear lies that could be easily ascertained.

User Biophys also openly acknowledged his personal stalking of me (user Vlad fedorov) here http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Colchicum#Thank_you:

I cite Biophys confession published on the talk page of Colchicum:

Please note that it perfectly appropriate to follow logs of other users. 
We can do it. WP:STALK policy says: "The term "wiki-stalking" has been 
coined to describe following a contributor around the wiki, editing the 
same articles as the target, with the intent of causing annoyance or 
distress to another contributor. This does not include checking up on an 
editor to fix errors or violations of Misplaced Pages policy, nor does it mean 
reading a user's contribution log; those logs are public for good reason. 
The important part is the disruption - disruption is considered harmful." 
Obviously, it was Vlad who disrupted our work in Misplaced Pages. 
Biophys 21:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC) 

It could be easily seen that users Biophys and Colchicum conspired against me not because of stalking, but because my edits and contributions present other point of view, which they do not tolerate and make everything possible in order to harass and intimidate me.

Biophys also confessed in his message to me, that his articles indeed have mistakes , but he demanded that I should not correct his mistakes which is outrageus.

As could be seen from the following history pages, my edits are reverted or deleted by user Biophys in less than 24 hours after my edits:

It is therefore evident, that it's not me, but Biophys traces my contributions, for it is always Biophys who reverts my edits in no more than 24 hours often without any explanations.

I would like to discuss here just the typical case. In the article dedicated to Russian security agency GRU, it was written that terrorist Shamil Basaev and Said-Magomed Kakiev, Said-Magomed Kakiev are 'Chechen GRU agents'. I have deleted these phrases, because there are no any evidence and sources that support these statements. Moreover, there are just allegations that Shamil Basaev was trained by some Intelleigence service long before the Chechen Conflict arised. Biophys however wrote a list of Chechen GRU agents, thereby presenting these pure allegations as established facts.

In less than 30 minutes my edits were reversed by Biophys,

<cut begin> (cur) (last) 05:18, 19 February 2007 Biophys (Talk | contribs) (rv vandalism by Vlad Fedorov - this is supported by refrences 4,5,6, and the content of Misplaced Pages articles that are provided as links) (cur) (last) 04:48, 19 February 2007 Vlad fedorov (Talk | contribs) (→Chechen GRU agents - False unsupported statements removed) <cut end>

who has cited the following source: Land of the warlords, by Nick Paton Walsh, Guardian Unlimited as evidencing that Said-Magomed Kakiev and Said-Magomed Kakiev are Chechen GRU agents. However, in the article the following is written about these individuals:

"Alkhanov rang for the help of Said Magomed Kakiev", the powerful head of the "West" 
battalion of 900 Chechen fighters under the control of Russian military intelligence, the GRU. 

Zair said Alkhanov has gained the support of not only Kakiev but Sulim Yamadayev, the 
head of the "East" battalion, 800 hardened special forces Chechens also under the 
control of the GRU. 

It could be clearly seen that newspaper article doesn't say these individuals are GRU agents. It says just their battalions were under control of GRU which is a different thing at all. It follows therefore, that Biophys has repeatedly and intentionally reintroduced false disinformation by these edits into the article , and . And as such violated repeatedly Misplaced Pages policy.

This is just fresh typical example of Biophys anti-Russian activities in the Misplaced Pages.

Other case include:

Deletion of pertinent information from the article dedicated to Yevgenia Albats. And specifically deletion of the information that her father has been GRU spy during the WW II. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Yevgenia_Albats&diff=108373818&oldid=108344491 Please note that Biophys has never actually presented his arguments on deletion of this information on the talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Yevgenia_Albats. According to the Misplaced Pages policy deletion of sources material is vandalism. This information about Albats father was later reintroduced by the administrator Alex Bakharev here cur http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Yevgenia_Albats&diff=109477667&oldid=108836686. However, it was evident that the information about Albats father compromises her neutrality as a researcher appointed on Parlament commission for the investigation of KGB activitites and compromises reliability of Albats claims. That's why Biophys initiated campaign for the deletion of such material.

Biophys also claimed on the talk page that the following sources: Boorishness as a World View by Yelena Kalashnikova (in Russian) Full Albats by Oleg Kashin, business newspaper Vzgliad, October 26, 2006 (in Russian)

violate BLP policy, because they are: 1) not neutral 2) controversial 3) Allegations of crude and extremely uncivil behavior 4) Unsubstantiated accusations of fraud

However Biophys failed to show how these materials violate Misplaced Pages policies. There are no facts, evidence, whereabouts and so on. Again Biophys undertook the same false accusations campaign against sources and information he personaly dislikes and the same false flag campaign he was waging on the Boris Stomakhin. Just empty and unsubstantiated accusations.

I have reverted deletions by Biophys of well-sourced materials published by another author on the article Mitrokhin archive. This deletion could be seen here cur http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Mitrokhin_Archive&diff=107010834&oldid=106018891 I have reinserted these well-sourced statements, since they are reliable and definitely should be mentioned in the article. I have deleted Biophys's unsourced defamatory statements on Russians as ethnicity which incite ethnic hatred in the article David Satter. Please note that Biophys reinserts unsourced statements inciting ethnic hatred by following edits cur http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=David_Satter&diff=prev&oldid=107021411. I think he should be blocked for violation of LP policies, since these statements describe David Satter as inciting ethnic hatred at least.

I would like to notice that Biophys deletes well-sourced materials not for the first time. For example Biophys has deleted good source in the article State sponsored terrorism http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=State-sponsored_terrorism&diff=102543018&oldid=102542124 Revision as of 23:23, 22 January 2007 (edit) (undo) Biophys (Talk | contribs) /* United States - reference to blog removed, non-working reference corrected) deleted the working link to . I ask you to read his comments with attention, first Biophys claims that it is a blog, and second he claims the link is broken. But how he could say it is a blog if the link is actually broken? By the way, the source is not a blog and the link always works.

Every edit is explained and supported with specific arguments. FSB cannot be described as a secret police, since this term according to the respective Misplaced Pages article refers to the totalitarian states. I have corrected Biophys POV to NPOV, since CIA is not described as a secret police. As to the Human Rights article, I have employed the same approach which Biophys has taken in regard to the Izvestia article in Boris Stomakhin case. Biophys uses unconfirmed allegations of Anna Politkovskaya which is said was publishing her materials without verifications and presents them as facts and not as unconfirmed allegations.Parfitt, Tom (2006-10-08). "Assassin's Bullet Kills Fiery Critic of Putin". The Observer. Retrieved 2006-10-09. Moreover, in the cited sources on Russian there are no allegations of Politkovskaya that people were detained because of their religion, while Biophys inserted these claims into the passage dedicated to the freedom of religion, which is evidently is not appropriate.

I would like to bring your attention, that I have never deleted the information which was contributed by users Biophys and Colchicum. And their claims about Stalking are actually turn everything upside down, since I do not follow tremendous number of their articles. And claims about me pursuing Colchicum are absurd, since actually he first began harassing me (Mediation case page on Boris Stomakhin) by writing everywhere about my two acknowledged mistakes, thereby violating the Misplaced Pages rule that editors do not discuss personalities and discuss the articles and sources.

3)Allegations of uncivil behaviour.

I would like to notice that in http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Anti-Russian_sentiment#La_Russophob, Biophys behaved himself incivil, and I never wished him to die actually. Biophys wrote 'Just imagine that Putin suddenly dies. What will change in Russia?'. Considering that Biophys wrote offensively in regard of Putin, I have responded the following way: 'The same would be in Russia if Biophys would die too'. I don't find such exchange to be offensive, since Biophys first began 'death' assumptions.

This situation also concerns attepmts of Biophys to introduce defamatory claims of Russian journalist who was sentenced for his libelous and defamatory claims in regard of Putin into the article on cur . Moreover, in order to abuse Putin he published this material deleted from the articles on Vladimir Putin and Phallus on his personal talk page, as well as his deleted article on the blog La Russophobe.

Later in order to hide information compromising him he deleted this material http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:Biophys&diff=prev&oldid=107095030 the edit which he called clean-up.

Moreover, Biophys openly hinted on me as an agent of KGB working in the internet here . He called me a troll on my talk page and therefore personaly attacked me too.

User Biophys maintains speculatory article about FSB brigades working in the internet on his talk page in order to send the message to and to harass everyone who has POV different from his. http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Biophys. Recently he has published alleged features of FSB brigades agents working in the internet diff here . Later he deleted it from his talk page diff . He also created a page Persecution of political bloggers where he called this speculatory FSB internet team - 'troll squads', diff .

Summary

User Biophys and user Colchicum wage false accusations camapaign against me in order to punish me for presenting my POV in the articles which they feel are important for them. In order to disrupt my work, intimidate and harrass me, they accuse me of violating virtually everything in the Misplaced Pages and persistently publish their accusations on Administrators Incident Noticeboard, 3RR noticeboard, BPL noticeboard. They persistently complain to the administrators urging them to punish me. All this is done with one goal - to silence individuals having other opinion, to punish those who correct their intentional mistakes and malicious disinformation.

I would like to bring to the attention that all of the disputes cited in the accusations of Biophys and Colchicum were published on the respective noticeboards and administrators pages. The problem is that no one has directly ruled that Biophys and Colchicum accuse me falsely. The issues which they complain here were taken by the administrator Alex Bakharev on his talk page.

Users Biophys and Colchicum actual reason for my public prosection is that I present the point of view they personally dislike and do not tolerate. There is no any evidence that I disrupt their work by creating annoyance or distress. It is my POV that creates 'annoyance or distress' for Biophys and Colchicum.

As could also be seen, users Biophys and Colchicum never tried to resolve any disputes with me. All they have done is false accusations and deletions of my contributions to the respective articles.

It is evident that users Biophys and Colchicum claim that any material (sourced and referenced) which contradicts to their personal opinion is violating Misplaced Pages policies.

User Biophys also publicly confessed that he actually stalks me. And therefore, it is evident that Biophys himself violates Misplaced Pages policies and makes fraudulent accusations.

I would like to ask anyone here in Misplaced Pages to review all the pertinent materials to this dispute in detail, and not to consider surface accusations of the users who brought the complain against me. I could be contacted any time on my talk page and could provide any information that is needed to handle this case or others in which I am involved.

I would also like anyone here to ask the administrators User:Alex Bakharev and User:Mikkalai, about these disputes, since they were observing this dispute from its very beginning and were themselves editing the articles on which this duo complains.

Desired outcome

I beg anyone competent to take measures in order to stop users Biophys and Colchicum from persistent and continued campaign waged by them against me. I am not a witch and Misplaced Pages is not a witch trial place. If they couldn't tolerate opinion of other users and if they can't held disputes over the edits by means other than Complaints and threats, then they should create their own encyclopedia where they could do whatever they want without other users disturbing them by other point of views.
