Moscow
US embassy cables on WikiLeaks: Russian 5th column advised the US "to
isolate Ramzan Kadyrov"

Marcr, 2015
WikiLeaks
published secret telegrams of U.S. Ambassador to Russia, John Beyrle.
The American ambassador reported to Washington about his meeting with
the Russian "dissidents", about the requests from
non-systemic opposition and that an emergency situation is required
in order to "overthrow Putin" .
Secret
telegrams to Washington
It
is not a secret that Russian "dissidents" meet regularly
with American politicians. Those particularly close, such as Boris
Nemtsov, are called directly to Washington, others, less significant,
are invited to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
U.S.
Ambassador to Russia John Beyrle reports on each such meeting in
secret cables. However, in the era of WikiLeaks it is difficult to
maintain secrecy. The newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda"
published excerpts from these cables.
Cable
"MOSCOW 000304" talks about the meeting of the Director of
the Department for Russia at the National Security Council (NSC) of
USA Michael McFaul with Russian human rights activists, which took
place on January 14, 2010.
The
human rights activists were disappointed with the thaw in relations
between the two countries and the reset in Russian-American
relations. Lyudmila Alexeyeva from the Moscow Helsinki group advised
the Americans to closely monitor what is happening in Moscow, but do
it more delicately than the previous US administration: "Increase
the intensity, but don't be the second Bush..." - told McFaul
Alekseeva.
Another
human rights activist, Yuri Dzhibladze from the Center for Human
Rights and Democracy, also asked to increase the degree of
interference in Russian affairs and even offered to influence Moscow
with some "concessions". "Dzhibladze believes that the
U.S. should strengthen their criticism... to show that human rights
issues occupy a prominent place in the agenda of bilateral
relations... As a Russian partner the USA has the right to demand
reforms in exchange for trade or other concessions", - says the
cable of John Beyrle.
The
editor of the Internet site "Caucasian Knot" Grigory
Shvedov asked Americans "to work more closely with NGOs, not
limited to just financial support." And Lev Ponomarev from the
organization "For Human Rights" and Lyudmila Alekseeva
advised US to isolate the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and to
establish relations with leaders of other North Caucasian republics
of Russia.
U.S.
Ambassador framed the "dissidents"
The
following cable "MOSCOW 000305" from January 19, 2010 talks
about the new meeting of McFaul with the Russian opposition. With his
report to Washington John Beyrle unwittingly exposed Boris Nemtsov
and Vladimir Milov from the movement "Solidarity", Gregory
Bovt from "The Right Cause" party, and Vladimir Ryzhkov, a
former head of the Republican party.
"...They
agreed that the purpose of the political opposition in the next two
years should be to work to prevent the return of Putin to the
presidency. But, according to their opinion, and considering the
control of Putin over society, his overthrow can only be caused by
some kind of emergency situation. Bovt said that civil society in
Russia at the present time is asleep and will unlikely actively
oppose the current regime," - quoted the words of his guests the
US ambassador.
By
the way, after the content of these cables was disclosed, Boris
Nemtsov said in his interview to "Voice of America" that
his words in the Byerly's cables are quoted correctly.
This
is how the "dissidents" explained to the Americans, what
needs to be done in order to shake the authority of Vladimir Putin.
Need an emergency, disaster, global upheaval. Otherwise, the
non-systemic opposition in Russia has not the slightest chance. This
is even recognized by Ryzhkov himself. "According to him, the
majority of Russian citizens are content with the current situation,"
- said the secret cable.
However,
American diplomats, apparently, are not going to do the work for
"dissidents". Otherwise, why is the US funding numerous
NGOs and human rights defenders?
"Deputinisation"
must come from Russia itself... Although the American President is
not speaking openly in support of the civil society in Russia, as the
members of opposition would like ... he fully supports democratic
reforms," - lectured McFaul.
It
should be noted that WikiLeaks has published reports only about
several of the meetings of the dissidents with the Americans.
Presumably, we'll find out soon, how many more of such visits took
place and who else attended them. And the Russian opposition
activists should ponder about what other compromising things they
said behind the walls of the American Embassy, that Byerly could
report to Washington, and what will now become public knowledge.

Rus:
There
are two key links here to the murder of Nemtsov: "the need to
isolate Kadyrov" (a pillar of peace in Chechnya and Putin's
closest supporter) and "Caucasian Knot" being connected to
the US (likely funded by the US, Caucasus being a key region of
Russia, which is of interest to the US)
It
is the "Caucasian Knot", which broke the story about
Nemtsov killers having a link to Kadyrov, and announced that there is
no foreign trail!
March
7, 2015
The
acting secretary of the Security Council of Ingushetia, Albert
Barahoev first informed the "Caucasian knot" what Dadaev
and Gubashev were engaged in.
Z.
Dadaev - is an active employee of the Chechen Interior Ministry,
worked in senior positions. Until recently lived in Grozny in the
barracks.
Later
Barahoev explained to RIA Novosti that Dadaev is the deputy commander
of the regiment battalion "North" of the Interior Ministry
of the Chechen Republic.
...
"If
the information of the sources of the "Caucasian knot" that
one of the suspects was serving in the Chechen battalion "North"
is confirmed, it will prove one thing: the suspects are associated
with customers [likely intermediaries - KR], who, in turn, are
connected with Chechnya. And the theory of a foreign trail, voiced by
one of the agencies, is wrong. Our information shows the failure of
the theory about a foreign trail and that customers of the
assassination of Boris Nemtsov, live outside of Russia," told
RBC the chief editor of the website "Caucasian knot,"
Grigory Shvedov.
KR:
Here we see Americans took the advice of establishing connections
with other Caucasian leaders, in this case Ingushetia, and used their
own media outlet, "Caucasian Knot", "to bury the
foreign trail", while framing Kadyrov.
