The news outlets Current Time and Siren have learned of new cases of the Russian government violating the basic rights of citizens who refuse to fight in the war in Ukraine.

Current Time recently reported the story of two men from the Moscow region — Alexey Arsyutin and Andrey Marchuk — who received draft orders in late September. After reporting to their assigned military commissariats as required by law, they were sent to the nearby town of Naro-Fominsk, then to Russia's Belgorod region, which neighbors Ukraine. From there, without receiving any training, the conscripts were sent to the town of Svatove in Ukraine’s Luhansk region.

In Svatove, the two men and their fellow draftees were sent to the front line and ordered to dig trenches. They soon came under artillery fire. Arsyutin and Marchuk claim they stayed in their positions for three days with no food or water; by their account, their command left them with nothing but their weapons. As a result, they decided to retreat.

After that, Current Time reported, the conscripts’ relatives complained enough to draw the Russian military leadership’s attention to what had happened — and the men were taken back to Russia in Kamaz trucks.

“As soon as they arrived at the military base in Belgorod, the intense pressure began. They were called [...] every [derogatory] word possible. By the commanding staff. Because they retreated. Because they were supposed to go back to the front line like cannon fodder,” said Ekaterina Belova, Alexey Arsyutin’s sister.

When the officers realized they would not be able to pressure the men to go back to the front, they sent them back to the Luhansk region. The men’s relatives didn’t learn about this until a week later.

“My brother contacted us and said that they were in a basement in [the village of] Zaitseve. They were held there for days. They were read orders to confirm on video that they were refusing to participate in the ‘special military operation.’ Now the guys are being threatened with this video, that you didn’t follow this order. As my brother said, when he was in Zaitseve, there were 250 people there. They're prisoners, plain and simple. Russian captivity,” said Ekaterina Belova.

Andrey Marchuk managed to call his mother to tell her what happened: “In Zaitseve. Luhansk region. Troitske district. They took them to a hole there. There were no amenities in the hole. A lot of guys there, they said, who don’t want to fight. Refusers. They pressured them and pressured them, they’re not signing anything. They don’t want to fight. What is there to fight for, and with who?” said Marchuk’s mother, summarizing what her son told her.

Marchuk’s and Arsyutin’s relatives told Current Time that conscripts from a wide variety of divisions were brought to Zaitseve and held there while officers relentlessly pressured them to return to the front line. Eventually, they said, Marchuk and Arsyutin managed to return to the rear, but they were then sent to the Russian Investigative Committee.

The outlet Siren reported a similar story about conscripts from Russia’s Kursk region who were also sent to the front line before retreating. The wife of one of the soldiers told journalists that the men were subsequently sent to the village of Holubivka in the Luhansk region, where they’re currently being held in a basement that contains 38 people. “They’re asking for help. It’s awful there — there are sick and wounded guys in there. It’s nothing short of a prison,” she said.

According to Siren, the wives of some of the draftees are fighting to free their husbands from the basement where they’re being held. Initially, the women went to the military base in the Belgorod region, where they were told that their husbands were not assigned to the corresponding unit. After that, the women traveled to the city of Starobilsk in Ukraine’s Luhansk region. There, they were able to meet with some of the conscripts, though many are still in Holubivka. The women plan to take the issue to the Russia’s Military Prosecutor’s Office.

If Only (Chapter 1)

Hello loves,

I know it has been a LONG time since I posted any writing (Yes I know I still have loads of unfinished work, but hey, stuff happens). I hope I can actually finish this story and finally write a good conclusion to a fic rather than just writing long one-shots. As always, your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated.

I hope you enjoy it,

Liv

They never listen… Why would they? The uneducated bureaucratic bastards always think they know what's best. They think they know everything… That is the problem. When a mistake is made, instead of stepping up and fixing the issue, they slink back into the shadows and bury the issue, concealing it so perfectly that it appears there is no issue at all. Is there no decency, no respect for the lives of our people? For all those men who died gruesome deaths? For all the mothers who have lost or will lose their children? For the many who will get sick? For me?

What happened that night- Im not sure- there are words to describe it. It was like a dream, no, a nightmare. A nightmare that causes one to wake up in a cold sweat panting, one that makes it impossible to fall back to sleep. But… you'll never wake up from this one… This night in question was Friday, April 25th, 1986…

Darkness began to consume the city of Pripyat on the evening of April 25th, 1986. The night shift workers at the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin nuclear power plant would have been getting ready for their shift. Some were likely having a late dinner, others may be reading the paper or listening to the radio while spending time with their family. But not the senior engineer that would be on shift that night. As the deputy chief engineer of the power plant, Anatoly Dyatlov took much pride in what he did. He prided himself on his knowledge of the reactors he worked with and on his hard work, which had allowed him to climb to the position he was at now. He was a stubborn man, he did not like carelessness, incompetence, or when people neglect their duties. So when the test on reactor 4 had been pushed to the night shift last minute it obviously made him irritable.

While his subordinates were likely preparing to come into work, Dyatlov had just arrived back to work. Not wanting to let the pleasant spring evening go to waste, Dyatlov spent a few extra minutes outside having a smoke. He had noticed an unfamiliar car in the car park. It struck him as odd at first, nobody had mentioned that a visitor would be in today, well nobody had mentioned it to him. After finishing his cigarette, Dyatlov walked inside to the locker rooms and changed into the oh-so-familiar white uniform. As he entered the main building, heading to the control room, he was greeted by the sight of a young woman who was studying a painting of Lenin on the wall while drinking from a thermos. She was in everyday clothes and had a long white lab coat over them instead of the classic white scrub-like uniform. She was rather tall for a woman, with fair skin and hazel eyes. Her hair was collarbone length and loosely curled. She had rather chiseled features, prominent cheekbones, and a sharp jawline. She was just generally pretty. Dyatlov stopped in his tracks and surveyed her, trying to figure out just who she was. He could feel his irritation creeping back over him because his mind was pulled off of his work. As he approached her, the woman turned a little as she noticed him. Now that she was properly facing him, Dyatlov recognized her. Not because she had been there before, which she very well may have been, but because he had seen her face in science articles and newspapers and maybe even on the news if he remembered correctly.

The woman was Anya Dimitrovna Koshkova, age 30, born in what is now the town Troitsk in the Moscow Oblast to a rather high-ranking state official and his wife. Anya grew up loving science, but her parents often discouraged her from following her love of science and mathematics. Though her parents tried very hard, they could not keep her from her studies. They did, however, teach her how to act as a woman in society, even with her unconventional interests. Anya was taught from a young age how to “succeed” as a woman in the Soviet Union. Of course, Anya was told about how politics worked and was taught how to play the game so to speak. Her father always told her about towing the party line and ensuring that she and her family were always in good standing with the party. This knowledge is likely what got Anya to where she is today. Being able to tow the party line, and do so very convincingly, quickly helped Anya succeed in becoming one of the most if not the most prestigious scientist in the Soviet Union.

Of course, it was just not her intelligence or her political ability that helped Anya rise to the top, her husband also greatly helped in her accomplishments. She married her childhood sweetheart, Aleksander Ivanovich Koshkov or Sasha as Anya affectionately called him. He has always been very smart in the world of military and politics. He held a high-ranking position in the government and worked directly with the central committee and Mikhail Gorbachev. Aleksander was a trusted member of the central committee and one of the highest-ranking men, especially for a younger man. He was very friendly with the other members of the central committee, though not all of them were fond of him, he had good relationships with most of the men, including Gorbachev. Of course, the couple worked very hard both separately and together to achieve their goals but benefited greatly from the others' success. Though the couple was successful, the need for success was not the source of their love.

As Dyatlov approached Anya she took notice of him and turned to face him, lowering her thermos from her lips. She looked him over, studying him with her glimmering hazel eyes. Dyatlov had stopped right in front of her and was surveying her as well. After a moment he begrudgingly extended his hand to her. His hand was quickly enveloped in hers as she gave his hand a firm shake, much like one you would expect a good politician or businessman to have.

“Good evening, I am Anatoly Dyatlov, the deputy chief engineer. I was not told that we would have any visitors tonight…” His voice was rather stiff and if one listened closely they might be able to pick out the slight tone of irritation.

“Good evening to you too, comrade Dyatlov, I am Anya Koshkova. I was sent by Moscow to check in on how things are running here in Chernobyl” Anya stated.

Anya was not at all intimidated by Dyatlov. Her hand dropped to her side and she paused. There was the slightest bit of tension in the air and Anya could tell that Dyatlov had something to say to her. She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head slightly as if prompting Dyatlov to speak, which he did.

“Well, I was not informed of this. I never would have left you here alone. It is very unprofessional”

Dyatlov seemed to grow more irritated as he spoke. Subconsciously, he crossed his arms and furrowed his eyebrow slightly. He did not want to show it, but Dyatlov was furious that he had not known there would be a visitor that evening. It was even more infuriating that the visitor was someone important from Moscow.

Anya raised her hand slightly. She was no stranger to plants like this one. She had helped design them and the reactors they ran. So, Anya never felt uneasy or lost in the power plants. Not to mention, Anya had been to the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin nuclear power plant a few times before. Those times she had been accompanied by Bryukhanov, and Fomin had joined them for a while. Of course, the two of them always showed off how “flawless” the plant was to satisfy the officials in Moscow, so Anya always enjoyed her visits to the plant. Not to mention, Bryukhanov seemed to have a slight infatuation with the beautiful young engineer.

“I am no stranger to this plant comrade. I was going to observe the day shift, but I heard that the test on reactor four was moved to tonight” Anya said calmly.

Dyatlov stood there silently for a few moments as he fought the urge to practically interrogate Anya on why she needed to observe the test and why she had not just observed the day shift's work. Instead, Dyatlov nodded slowly.

“Well, I am heading to the control room to prepare. You may join me now, or you can wait for the rest of the night shift to turn up” Dyatlov said as he began to head toward the control room once more.

Anya followed Dyatlov in silence. She stopped on the walkway overlooking the roof of reactor three. She studied the roof and the quickly darkening night sky with her vibrant hazel eyes. A bus was pulling up to the plant and the night shift employees for the four reactors began to trickle in. After taking a few sips from her thermos, Anya continued down the corridor and entered the reactor four control room.

The familiar monotone room was almost comforting to Anya. She wandered from station to station, stopping at each one and checking them. She paused as she read the reactor's power level and raised an elegantly arched eyebrow in confusion. The power level was much lower than she would have liked it to be. Anya kept an eye on the power level as she moved from the reactor operation panel to the pump operation panel. As she looked over the panels and ensured that all of the sensors and meters were calibrated and reading properly. As she finished up, Anya glanced at the power output 1600, why on earth was it being held so low. She turned to look at Dyatlov, a concerned expression on her face.

“The power output… it's only 1600 megawatts… Why? How long has it been held at this?” She asked, quite confused.

“That's what it's supposed to be at. The day shift ensured it would be ready for us to test” Dyatlov said, brushing off Anya's concern.

Maybe it was simply because she was a woman in a man's world, or because he had simply forgotten just how smart she was and that nuclear power and weapons in the Soviet Union were what Anya had been studying and working on for, essentially, her whole life. Anya nodded a little as she looked over everything.

“I would recommend against running this test under these conditions. We should restart the reactor” Anya said as she walked over to the operation panel, prepared to shut down the reactor.

Anya was cautious because she had no idea how long the reactor had been holding at this power level. As she looked over her shoulder at Dyatlov she could see the rage in his eyes.

How dare this woman come into his power plant and question him. Dyatlov clenched his fists and glared at her, absolutely enraged.

His bellowing voice filled the room as spit flew from his lips;

“No, we are running this test tonight!”

20% of new buildings in Moscow ended up in metro construction zones

Near the future metro stations in Moscow , 20% of the supply of housing in new buildings is concentrated. This was reported to Izvestia by analysts of the Metrium company.

In the construction zone of new metro stations, developers are implementing 43 development projects, in which buyers are offered a choice of 7.8 thousand apartments and apartments. In total, the volume of the market for new buildings in the capital is estimated at 39.5 thousand objects. Thus, next to the new metro stations, developers are offering 20% ​​of apartments and apartments in Moscow new buildings, analysts said.

The company also noted that the supply of new housing, mainly of the mass segment, is concentrated in the metro construction zone. These are 5.1 thousand apartments and apartments (65% of the total number of apartments near new stations). On average, they are sold at 218 thousand rubles per square meter.

They are mainly concentrated in the "new Moscow" (about 3.5 thousand apartments), where the construction of the Kommunarskaya metro line is underway, which, according to the plans of the authorities, will reach Troitsk, analysts added.

The main growth in the value of real estate, due to the metro factor, does not occur after the opening of the station, but at the time of the start of construction. In general, proximity to the metro can increase apartment prices by 10-15%, said Anna Boim, Commercial Director of the A101 Group.

In new business class buildings near new metro stations, developers offer 2.4 thousand apartments and apartments (31%). Mostly they are located along the Big Circle Metro Line. On average, they will cost customers 332 thousand rubles per square meter. m, added analysts "Metrium".

“Residents of new buildings near the Bolshaya Koltsevaya Line will be able to enjoy the same benefits as Muscovites living next to the Koltsevaya Line,” added Larisa Shvetsova, CEO of River Park.

The development of the metro network significantly affects the dynamics of prices on the market for new buildings in Moscow. On average, new buildings near the metro are 10-15% more expensive than their counterparts located far from metro stations. Such projects can almost always become a profitable investment for investors, because housing near high-speed transport hubs is invariably in demand among both buyers and tenants, said Nadezhda Korkka, Managing Partner of Metrium.

Earlier, on September 7, developers and realtors told Izvestia that over the past five years, the deficit of parking lots in new buildings has increased in Russia. So, in Kazan in 2017, 1 thousand sq. m of new buildings accounted for an average of 2.49 car places, now - 1.95, in the Krasnodar Territory it was 0.67, and it became 0.58, in the Samara region the indicator decreased from 0.86 to 0.68, and in the Leningrad region - from 3.1 to 2.7. In Moscow, the ratio of car parking space for one apartment in comfort class houses decreased from 0.7 in 2016 to 0.5 in 2021, business class - from 1.2 to 0.9, premium class - from 2 , 1 to 1.6.

Что заставляет меня улыбаться? Доброта, идущая из самого сердца людей. Если это искренняя доброта, она тут же откликается в нашей душе и вызывает улыбку. Согласны? Это может быть все что угодно! Даже незначительное проявление доброты: доброе слово, какой-то знак внимания, незначительная помощь. Всё это трогает мое сердце и вызывает улыбку. Я очень люблю жизнь! Я люблю этот мир! Он так прекрасен! Я благодарна Создателю, что он подарил мне этот МИР! Я люблю раннее летнее утро, когда ещё совсем тихо и свежо, и солнца почти ещё нет на небе... Я люблю тихий стук дождя по крыше... Я люблю чистый воздух в лесу и пение птиц. Я люблю смотреть в бескрайнее голубое небо с пушистыми облаками. И я безмерно счастлива, что живу и могу видеть всё это... И душа моя сжимается от счастья когда мой сынишка протягивает мне цветочек и говорит: - Мама! Я тебя люблю! Главное в этом мире Доброта и Любовь в любых её проявлениях. И это заставляет меня улыбаться, откликаясь в моём сердце нежным душевным теплом. #добротаисчастье #любовьисемья #детииродители #любовьибрак #мирилюбовьорифлэйм (at Troitsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJK0Qosda0/?igshid=1b16m2h40ah9x

On 11 May 1917, just a couple of weeks after the abdication of Nikolai II, the participants of the All-Russia Muslim Congress elected a woman, Mukhlisa Bubi (Mukhliṣa Būbī), as a qāḍī[1] (a Muslim judge) to the Central Spiritual Administration. This was a unique event not only in the history of Russia’s Muslims but also in the whole modern Muslim world.[2] Approximately nine hundred Muslim delegates from different regions of the Russian Empire participated in the Congress of 1-12 May 1917, representing all social, intellectual, and political trends, with Muslim modernists constituting the majority of the delegates.[3] For the first time, 112 Muslim women also participated in a political congress as delegates. These women proposed reforms to women’s political, social, and marital rights, reforms that a special Muslim Women’s Congress had formulated a month earlier; and the issue of women’s rights became one of the most fiercely debated issues at the congress.[4] 

The main concern of the congress was, however, not the women question; rather, the central issue was whether Muslims should strive for cultural or territorial autonomy in the future political structure of Russia. Regardless of their political and intellectual stances, all delegates agreed that sharīʿa and Muslim identity, which differentiated Muslim populations from the Christian population of Russia, must constitute the foundation of any kind of autonomy.[5] The congress decided to transform the Orenburg Muslim Spiritual Assembly, the main institution that had represented Muslims in the Russian Empire, into a modernized Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Inner Russia and Siberia. They made the position of muftī subject to elections instead of direct appointment by the Tsar.[6] Also elected, for the first time, were six qāḍīs. In the Administration, muftī and qāḍīs represented a collegiate body. They gathered regularly to hear, discuss, and decide on requests of Muslims to construct new mosques and establish new maḥallas. They also assessed the qualifications of candidates for official religious positions, who had been nominated by maḥalla communities. They also responded to petitions (‘arḍ) on family and inheritance disputes, reassigned cases to local ākhūnds and imāms for further investigation if needed, and controlled the resolution of these cases. 

For one of these qāḍī positions the assembly elected Mukhlisa Bubi – in absentia, for she was not even present at the congress. By May 1917, Mukhlisa was already a well-known and respected woman of religious authority. In 1897 she and her brothers had set up the first girls’ madrasa, in Ij-Bubi, a Tatar village in present-day Tatarstan, Agryz district. This school provided new-method (uṣūl-i jadīd) education to girls of all ages, and trained female teachers. After the government closed the school in 1911, under the pretext that it was a hotbed of Pan-Turkist and Pan-Islamist activities, Mukhlisa was invited to teach at another girls’ madrasa, in Troitsk, where she worked as the principal and a teacher from 1911 to 1917. 

After her election to the office of qāḍī in May 1917, Mukhlisa Bubi directed the newly established Family Department within the Central Spiritual Administration, which dealt with issues of divorce, dower (mahr), marital consent, inheritance, and other legal complaints of women. On subsequent All-Russian Muslim congresses in 1923 and 1926 she was reelected to this position. In the meantime, she continued to write in Islām mäjälläse, the Administration’s Tatar-language journal, on legal and social issues concerning Muslim women. Beginning in the late 1920s, the Bolsheviks started their full-blown repression of Islam in the USSR, and closed almost all mosques and Muslim schools. Like so many other Tatar Muslim activists, intellectuals, and religious scholars, Mukhlisa was accused of being a member of an anti-Soviet bourgeois-nationalist organization, and was executed in 1937. Around that time the Central Spiritual Administration practically ceased operating.[7]
