If you look at the date at the heading of the article by Associated Press writer Nasser Shiyoukhi you will see that less than 4 months separate the events described in it from the mysterious murder of Larisa Yudina – courageous female journalist, member of the political party “Yabloko”. This fascist party still serves as one of the principle organizers of the genocide of the Russian people popularized in the West as “Perestroika”, “Democratization” and “Economic Reforms”, lavishly financed by the American plutocratic regime. The tragic circumstances of the death of the journalist in July 1998 (her breathless body was found by the “Chess pond” close to the Olympic Village in Elista) caused quite a stir in the “Russian” political circles. Even more surprisingly, it has become a sort of “murder of the year” in the West as well, while for the chess press it still seems to represent the main source of sadomasochistic inspiration. It is easy to understand the ire of the chieftains of “Yabloko”: they swore to avenge this assassination being genuinely worried that the pace of the genocide might slow down were their ranks decimated. But why so much publicity was given to this case in the totalitarian West? The journalists are being killed by dozens all over the world as a matter of daily routine. When Yeltsin’s cutthroats shot the legitimately elected Russian Parliament in October 1993 and killed several thousand of its civilian unarmed supporters we have only heard applause from the Western media; when his criminal government started a bloody war in Chechnia in 1994 there was no sign of disapproval either. In 1996 with opinion polls showing the levels of Yeltsin’s popularity among the Russian “electorate” below 4%, the USA and Israel have bankrolled the “re-election” of this alcoholized mummy as if he were “the only guarantor of democracy”. Why this sudden hysteria around the murder case of some brave but obscure journalist, head of the Kalmykian branch of the fascist political party "Yabloko"? Despite non-existence of any kind of incriminating evidence against the FIDE President in this case (at least it has never been officially disclosed) our chess hacks immediately jumped to the occasion to self-appoint themselves investigators, prosecutors and judges and did not linger for long before pronouncing their sentence – guilty. All of a sudden nearly all of them turned to be sublime specialists in Russian politics, towering like “defenders of the poor Russian people”, lecturing us on the intricacies of the "true democracy". They have finally pinpointed “a dictator” in Russia responsible for all her ills.

No, our dear chess friends from “Jaque”, "New in Chess", TWIC, KC and so on, we will tell you who you are: the community of highly pernicious dupes. And we are likewise convinced that in this combination of your qualities stupidity prevails over maleficence. Because of the dull political hacks like you millions of Russian and Ukrainian pensioners were and still are starved to death with their pensions of roughly $10-$20 per month and those who continue working are earning mere pittance not even  worthy of being called an unemployment benefit. It is because of your blind and thoughtless commitment to the internazi agenda that the hundreds of billion of dollars from Russia are safely channeled to the West and laundered there with utter impudence. Only because of your unreserved racist support to the bloodthirsty, hateful, immoral and goony individuals like Kasparov there is no place to dignity, responsibility and honor in Russian politics (the same as everywhere else). Like a pack of hounds, like swarming leeches you hurl yourselves at anyone who doesn’t belong to your internazi gang to smear, belie and slander him. The only thing you are preoccupied with and eagerly fighting for is unremitting ethnical cleansing in politics and media to ensure your domination of the power structures. Why are you so fiercely opposed to the World Players' Council, even more so than to FIDE itself? Why do you only support thieves, liars, drug-addicts, ignoramuses and docile puppets? Because you are horrified by the very idea of existence of an independent organization of Players, directed by a leader of strong will, democratic convictions and impeccable reputation; you are afraid of losing your monopoly on brainwashing us. Take it easy, you will lose it anyway. Don’t waste your time trying to denigrate us, you will fail.  

We are not looking for a confrontation with the journalistic mafia, we are always open for a peaceful dialogue, for the umpteenth time we request you to seriously reconsider your destructive attitude.

The following article by AP gives a sample of treatment of the palestinian journalists by “the main stronghold of Western democracy” in the Middle East. For obvious reasons it didn't make lasting impression on the media-men.
