RUSSIA-BACKED AUTHORITIES BLOCK ACCESS TO RFE/RL'S CRIMEA WEBSITE --- From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty: By RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, 12.05.2016 http://www.rferl.org/content/ukraine-russia-crimea-website-blocked/27730257.html Pro-Russian authorities in Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula have blocked access to RFE/RL's Crimea news website, Krym.Realii Web users in Ukraine, Russia, and Russia-annexed Crimea complained on May 12 that the site was inaccessible. Instead, a notice appears saying, "Access denied, as the site has been added to the list of banned sites." "This is an aggressive act that uses the outrageous pretext of extremism to censor RFE/RL and prevent audiences in Russia and Crimea from learning the truth about the annexation," RFE/RL Editor in Chief Nenad Pejic said in a statement on May 12. "We condemn it as an attack on RFE/RL's operations and the public's fundamental right to freely access information," he added. The de facto prosecutor of Crimea, Natalia Poklonskaya, said on May 12 that Russia's Internet regulator, Roskomnadzor, had launched measures to block and shut down the site. But Roskomnadzor's spokesman said on May 12 that only one page on the Krym.Realii website -- an interview with a leader of the Crimean Tatars' self-governing body, the Mejlis - - was blocked. Crimea's Moscow-backed Supreme Court branded the Mejlis as an extremist organization and officially banned it in April. Russia has been heavily criticized by international rights groups and Western governments for its treatment of Crimean Tatars since the annexation of the peninsula in March 2014. With reporting by TASS and Interfax (via VOA Radiogram via roger, dxldyg via DXLD) RFE/RL WELCOMES RUSSIA'S DECISION TO UNBLOCK ITS CRIMEA WEBSITE | Text of report by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website on 13 May by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service RFE/RL's Crimean news desk, Krym.Realii, has welcomed Moscow's decision to unblock its news website in Russia and Moscow-annexed Crimea. A spokesman for Russia's media regulator, Roskomnadzor, Vadim Ampelonsky, said on May 13 that Krym.Realii ("Crimea.Realities") was unblocked after RFE/RL's Crimean news desk followed a request by Russia's Prosecutor-General's Office to remove from the site "materials that contain illegal information." However, RFE/RL's Crimean desk says it removed no content from the site in response to the May 12 blocking of its website by Russian Internet providers. RFE/RL's Crimean desk chief Volodymyr Prytula said that "we received no demands from Roskomnadzor calling for the removal of any kind of content. So we removed no content." "Crimea.Realities will continue providing unbiased information to the people of Crimea, considering the blockage of information and the tremendous pressure on information," Prytula added.

The event was celebrated at Imperial Heights Resort, Khanyara, Kangra valley in Dharamshala, on Saturday evening, May 14. Dongchung Ngodup, former Kalon of Department of Security, was the chief guest on the occasion. Other participants of the special event were Sonam Chomphel Sosur, the Election Commissioner, DIIR Secretaries; Sonam Norbu Dagpo and Tashi Phuntsok, Maria Dahle, Chairman for the board of the Stiftelsen Voice Of Tibet, Øystein Alme, the director of the Stiftelsen Voice Of Tibet, and representatives of the Tibetan media and NGOs. Dongchung Ngodup spoke about the importance of defending press freedom and how the exile media should continue their works in the right direction. He said Tibetan journalists too have equal responsibility in advancing the cause of Tibet. On the contrary he believes that VOT has contributed much towards the Tibetan cause through their work in journalism, while serving the Tibetan Community. As we are refugees in another country, the Tibetan journalists also must remember that the Tibetan freedom struggle, which should continue to always be the top priority,' he said while speaking about the concept of press freedom in exile. The VOT, is a radio station operated by Tibetans living in exile in the Himalayan town of Dharamshala, India. VOT has "trained more than 40 journalists, many ex-VOT are working as journalists in other media organizations, while serving the Tibetan community," Editor-in-Chief of the radio station, Tenzin Paldon said while giving a brief history of her news agency. Maria Dahle, who is also Executive Director of Human Rights House Foundation (Norway) talked about the challenges they faced for many times while trying to improve the news agency. She expressed her gladness over the Tibetan women, who are playing a great role in their career. "Tenzin Paldon is the first female editor-in-chief of Voice of Tibet," she added. Øystein Alme praised late Kunsang Paljor, a former senior reporter of the news agency, best known for his life's work, saying that "his legacy will remain with them for a long." Mr Alme also spoken about challenges they faced during two decades, including the Chinese jamming radio transmissions from VOT and saying it is "a violation of basic human rights." On behalf of the news agency, VOT's Senior editor Tenzin Norsang gave a thank-you speech. During the event, traditional Tibetan songs and dances were also performed, by the Dharamshala based Thangtong Lhugar Tibetan Performing Arts. VOT has been airing daily programmes in both Tibetan and Chinese on shortwave to Tibet and China as well as India, Bhutan and Nepal since 1996. In the introduction, VOT said its main "objectives are to provide a channel for unbiased information and news to the Tibetans living under Chinese oppression in Tibet. In Tibet, the Chinese Communist government have monopoly control over the mass media, and with lack of an independent information source, the general public have no access to free information and total lack of a channel to voice their right to speech."

UKRAINE'S EUROVISION WIN ROUSES A CHORUS OF ANGER AND SUSPICION IN RUSSIA --- By IVAN NECHEPURENKOMAY 16, 2016 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/17/world/europe/ukraines-eurovision-win-rouses-a-chorus-of-anger-and-suspicion-in- russia.html? ref=todayspaper [Photo caption:] About a thousand fans, many bearing flowers, greeted the Ukrainian singer Susana Jamaladinova, who goes by the stage name Jamala, when she flew into Kiev after winning the Eurovision contest. Credit Sergey Dolzhenko/European Pressphoto Agency MOSCOW -- The Eurovision Song Contest became the latest, and perhaps least likely, front in the renewed East-West rivalry on Monday after a singer from Ukraine unexpectedly upset the odds-on favorite, a Russian. The result had barely been announced on Saturday night in Stockholm when the habitual Kremlin propaganda machine found its voice, with the main television news shows, various members of Parliament and even the Foreign Ministry weighing in to smear the contest. Yelena Drapeko, an actress turned member of Parliament, summed up the general mood by attributing the loss to what she called the demonization of Russia. "Partly, this is a result of the propaganda and information war that is being waged against Russia," she was quoted as saying by the TASS news agency. "We are talking about the general demonization of Russia, about how everything with us is bad, about how our athletes are all doping, our planes are violating airspace, all of this." The loss was the top news story on the weekly Sunday night news program hosted by Dmitry K. Kiselyov, the Kremlin's main propagandist. Mr. Kiselyov sees the dark arts of the United States operating everywhere in the world, and the Eurovision contest was no exception, never mind that it is not an American event. The Logo network, a cable channel supportive of gay rights, broadcast the event for the first time in the United States, and that was enough to give birth to a conspiracy theory in Russia. "I don't exclude the fact that Americans' having bought broadcasting rights has changed the voting system," Mr. Kiselyov said. "Money talks, as they say, in this case in political interests." Politicians were not the only ones crying foul, of course. Among the viewing public, Sergey Lazarev, the Russian singer, enjoys a staunch following among teenage girls. They were among the most vocal critics of his loss. [Photo caption:] Sergey Lazarev, the Russian singer, performed during the final of the Eurovision contest in Stockholm. Credit Jonathan Nackstrand/Agence France-Presse -- Getty Images In point of fact, Russia's complaints began even before the final event on Saturday night, with some officials claiming that the eventual winner, a Ukrainian of Crimean Tatar origin, had violated contest rules against political content in songs. The song she sang, called "1944," describes the plight of the Tatar minority deported from Crimea under Joseph Stalin. Many deportees did not survive to make it back to Crimea after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But many observers felt Russia's basic problem was this: Before the show, Mr. Lazarev, a pop star in Russia, was favored to win, but the prize went to the Ukrainian, Susana Jamaladinova, who goes by the stage name Jamala. Certainly, her song was interpreted by many as an oblique comment on the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, not to speak of most ethnic Ukrainians' and Tatars' general distaste for anything and everything Russian. It was allowed because Ms. Jamaladinova framed it as a personal anthem devoted to her grandmother, who was among the deportees. But there was a distinct undertone of current events given that Russia has been accused of discriminating against the Tatar minority all over again since 2014, recently shutting down their independent legislature. "When strangers are coming, they come to your house, they kill you all and say we are not guilty, not guilty," says the opening verse of the song. The Moscow establishment has always coveted a winning entry in the Eurovision contest and was eagerly anticipating a moment of triumph after bookies established Mr. Lazarev as the favorite. This year, however, contest organizers changed the balloting system, ranking contenders by both a poll of viewers and a five-member jury in each participating country. Mr. Lazarev won the popular vote, but ranked fifth in the jury vote. The complicated system put Russia in third place, behind Ukraine and Australia and its contestant, Dami Im. (Australia was a "special guest" for the second year.) In the tumultuous aftermath, Russia has suddenly emerged as the unexpected champion of a popular vote. Every Russian news program and various senior officials maintained that Mr. Lazarev, as the popular favorite, had been robbed in what they denigrated as a clearly political decision. [Photo caption]: Fans cheered for Mr. Lazarev at a restaurant in Moscow during the Eurovision final on Sunday. Credit Alexander Zemlianichenko/Associated Press Aleksei K. Pushkov, the head of the State Duma's committee on international affairs, said on Twitter that Eurovision had "turned into a field of political battles" and suggested that Russia now had the right to send a politically charged entry to the next contest. The winner gets to host the contest the following year, which means in 2017 it will be in Ukraine. That brought endless suggestions from Russia to either boycott the contest or send the most nationalistic crooners possible. Maria V. Zakharova, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said that next year, Russia would come up with a song about President Bashar al-Assad of Syria that was sure to carry the day. "Assad bloody, Assad the worst. Give me prize so that we can host," she wrote as a suggested lyric on her Facebook account. A deputy prime minister, Dmitri O. Rogozin, proposed sending Sergei V. Shnurov, the frontman for a popular rock band known for its use of foul language and celebration of alcoholism. Others suggested that Russia send its contestants to Ukraine next year on the back of tanks. Across the border, Ukrainians saw the win in political terms, too, but they were often jubilant about it. Many Ukrainians aspire to membership in the European Union, a goal that has driven their country into a civil war with Russian-backed separatists in the southeast, leaving more than 9,000 people dead. About a thousand fans, many bearing flowers, greeted Ms. Jamaladinova when she flew into the Kiev airport. "Crimea is Ukraine!" they shouted, and then sang the national anthem. Politicians starting with President Petro O. Poroshenko posted congratulations on social media. Of course, there were conspiracy theories in Ukraine, too. Given the high number of votes from within Ukraine for Mr. Lazarev, Ukrainian nationalists wondered if perhaps Russia had found a way to manipulate the vote across the border. Others took it as a "Kumbaya" moment indicating that there should be no war between the two countries. Mikhail Pavliv, a Kiev-based political scientist, pointed out in a post on Facebook that while viewers in Russia and Ukraine had voted in favor of each other's singers, the jury in each country had given the other's contestant zero points. "This is better than any sociology," he wrote. Alisa Sopova contributed reporting from Donetsk, Ukraine.

"We have a Voice of America, we have Radio Liberty / Free Europe, and we need to work hard to make these channels as loud as possible," - insists Krischyunas. - "I remember back to Soviet times, my parents listened to their radio It was accompanied by constant noise, but every word that penetrate to Lithuania for Lithuanians meant a lot It was a breath of freedom..."
