Revision as of 12:32, 14 December 2006 by 213.184.225.28 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Boris Vladimirovich Stomakhin (Russian: Борис Владимирович Стомахин), (born August 24, 1974, Moscow), is a Russian politician, journalist, and dissident.
Boris Stomakhin is editor of newspaper "Radikalnaya Politika" since 2000 and leader of "Revolutionary Union" organization since 1999. He was also one of most active participants of Chechen internet newspaper Kavkaz Center.
He is a leader of "Movement for Independence of Chechnya". Other members of this organization are Pavel Cantora, Dmitry Tarasov, Ludmila Evstifeeva, and Pavel Luzakov.
Stomakhin organized numerous demonstrations against the war in Chechya and has been prosecuted by Russian authorities on many occasions. He was arrested on March 21 2006 in Moscow. During this arrest he fell down from the fourth floor of his building (it was said that he tried to escape). His spine and bones were broken. According to Stomakhin's lawyer Alexei Golubev, "He has been kept in a cell all this time, despite the fact that he is practically paralyzed."
He was sentenced to five years of prison for "promoting hatred", because he claimed that modern Russia is a totalitarian state and therefore must be destroyed, criticized Russians as a "nation of occupiers", and compared President Vladimir Putin to Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic.
Here is translation of his piece of writing which is quintessential phrase of all his politic ideas:
"Kill, Kill, Kill! To flood all Russia with blood, to not give a quarter to anyone, to try to make at least one atomic explosion on the territory of Russian Federation -- this is like the programm of radical Resistance should be, and russian's, and chechen's, and anyone's! Let the russians, according to their deserts, reap as they has sown".
"Russians should be killed, and only killed, for there is no one among them who is normal, intelligent, or who can be talked with and for understanding of whom we could rely. Harsh collective responsibility of all russians should be introduced, of all loyal Russian citizens for the actions of the government elected by them -- for the genocide, executions, ordeals, trade with corpses... From that moment there sould be no division of killers on combatant and non-combatant, wilful or forced".

Human rights activists Svetlana Gannushkina, Valeria Novodvorskaya, and other independent observers believe that Stomakhin only exercised his right of free speech and did nothing violent, and therefore he is a peaceful
political dissident prosecuted by authorities .
