New Times Politisc A BREACH IN THE BULWARKS By June 1941, after only 12 months of full isolation from the world, arbitrary arrests, lawless reprisals and mass deportations, the people of that small republic regarded the Russians as their main enemy, while the army which drove them out was considered the liberator. The Germans did not announce a compulsory mobilization of “the racially inferior people,” but in 1944 they allowed the formation of a national military unit under the command of General Plekhavicus for defending the territory of Lithuania not only from the Red Army but also from the Armia Krajowa. When the call-up for service in the Waffen-SS was announced in 1943, leaflets, explaining that service in this battalion ran counter to the interests of the Lithuanian people, widely circulated in Lithuania. www.newtimes.ru /eng/detail.asp?art_id=1352

kalmykrelativeclauses.doc According to one of my primary informants, who has been teaching Kalmyk for about 20 years these patterns are not taught to Kalmyk children, in other words, they are not considered to be part of the standard Kalmyk grammar (arguably). Based on the reports from the people who went through that period, it was extremely hard to maintain and preserve the culture at that time, as any communication involving native languages were not encouraged. Based on the 24-years long exposure to the language, my preliminary assumption is that the percentage of native speakers who are aware of the patterns of direct relativization of indirect objects and actually use them is probably not very large. www.ling.hawaii.edu /~uhdoc/kalmyk/kalmykrelativeclauses.doc   (1383 words)

Center of Information and Documentation of Crimean Tatars In 1956, the repression and deportation — by governmental bodies of the USSR - of Balkarian, Ingushian, Kalmyk, Karachai and Chechen peoples from the Russian Federation was recognized as illegal, and they were permitted to return to their homeland. Inflationary and other processes in countries complicate the grave condition of former deported peoples, who have returned to Ukraine, as repatriates lose their personal savings in the return to Ukraine, they are unable to sell their own houses, and are forced to bear transport and other charges. A process of rehabilitation of deported peoples by national sign, including Crimean Tatar People, began with the adoption, on 14 November 1989, of the Declaration ”On the recognition as illegal and criminally repressive measures against peoples who suffered a forcible transfer, and on the provision of their rights” by the Supreme Council of USSR. www.cidct.org.ua /en/studii/1(2000)/3.html   (11623 words)

The loyalty and devotion to the Dalai Lama that is manifested so clearly among both Kalmyk leadership and simple people, as well as geographical location of the country, right in the heart of Russia, suggested that the plan could become a reality. www.buddhistchannel.tv /index.php?id=3,2160,0,0,1,0   (1642 words)
