performed actually been the best performing stock today but it is the commodity space that is kind of leading the team right now in terms of telecom the number of speculations right now some are basically spears of theories about what's going to happen to a united resource telecom it looks to me that there are certain individuals are pushing up the stock based on liquidity. for some reason. russian coking coal company called group has announced initial public offerings in london and moscow the firm aims to offer a quarter of its stock and raise as much as five hundred million dollars koch says it will use the funds to boost its investment program. but as trans our airlines ended the year much better than expected sales revenues from all operations rocketed by sixty percent more than two billion dollars in twenty ten carriers passenger traffic jumped by more than a further exceeding six and a half million people way more than a plant. so often i'll be back in one hour's time kevin is next with the headlines

shortly after this break. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporation to rule the day.

which brightened. from plans to. start on t.v. dot com. this is r.t. from moscow our top stories tonight pilot error a psychological pressure on the crews lack of experience would have blamed for the plane crash that killed the polish president last april this was the conclusion of

a diary. she was banished to the infamous gulag locked up behind bars. for an attempt on stalin's life who instructed i got no explicit instructions from anybody. just another page in the history books. his grandmother lived through it. to understand how he feels about the difficult subject but how. just one example of what she wrote in the. diary for somebody else rather than myself. i shudder at the thought. on.

the. touch. yeah ten years. why. why. did they give me ten years. be agreement is without appeal. i've done nothing wrong nothing wrong. real soviet people were supposed to be full of joy cheerful place desolate parades an impressive demonstrations all of which were designed to inspire people with

enthusiasm. i was just one hundred stone and one said life has become better life has become merrier life for people in his inner circle may indeed have become better and more cheerful but listen to what you know wrote when she was thirteen moscow is not happy people killing for basic necessities are angry and worn out they curse their government and their miserable existence i. after classes we were sent into the streets to march there there was no telling how angry i was what made things even worse was that i felt quite helpless. i decided not to join the demonstration. i often visits the state archives and came across nina's diary quite accidentally

she'd been looking for the file containing the case of nina's father said geary been mcgough schoolboy who'd been purged along with many others. at first i really didn't feel like listening thrown in his diary three copybooks filled with barely legible scribbles but then i looked inside and when i began reading i couldn't tear myself away from it. typical teenage emotions for most of the three thick no books we see that nina was uncomfortable about her looks she thought she had a particular squint in one eye she was urged by the grumblings of her teachers and longed to have more fun we learned about her admiration of tolstoy in check and her belief in eternal love she worried about failing to become a decent person when she grew up sometimes she played with the idea of committing suicide it seems like a case study of teenage psychology but the diary was nevertheless used as evidence of her counterrevolutionary activity. his eyes always intrigued me

when i can't see them he looks just like many other boys but when i see its eyes from a short distance they seem to be twinkling as little spots flare up and fade away in them. nina's best friend remain still has good memories of the most handsome boy in their class as well as their boring teacher they were thirteen years old. and then you know what she was very fond of nailed although she said as well as good things about me in her diary. she wrote that i liked teasing her but i don't you remember that. there was a very unpleasant incident in our school some of the boys used to sling shots usually pictures of the country's leaders on the walls like yes. they did

that simply for the fun of it. but in fact it was a nightmarish episode where we as the school principal and everybody else could have been sent to prison. the bolsheviks are nothing but a pitiful bunch of despicable cowards they are afraid of everything so much though they might even build a criminal case around innocent jokes by schoolchildren they are out to bring us up to be uncomplaining slaves while stamping out any size of the spirit of protest baby and we crack down on all critical attitudes and the slightest hint of free and independent behavior. i didn't know that mena was keeping a diary nina kept her heart shut to her friends but she had no qualms about confiding to her diary what many adults never ventured to talk about even in whispers new with us if the thing is that many different from the soviet she was

never one of them she didn't you to the realities of soviet life unless you looked with through nice and she was aware of what was going on. there bizarre things happening in russia dam and cannibalism people coming from the provinces tell stories they say local authorities can't cope with the job of moving down. bodies in the streets because there are too many of them. in one nine hundred thirty seven someone did read through her diary an investigator from the ministry of internal affairs picked it over very carefully he used a red pencil to underline everything it seemed to him in thai soviet thoughts phrases like life is a meaningless and stupid joke were found throughout by all accounts nina's teenage

pessimism was out of tune with stalin's catch phrase life has become better life has become merrier. not that though we thought it was not aware of the terrible things happening around us. yes i think olmert stalin knows nothing about the goings on here. the things those survivor investigators do here there are snakes they slander us. he takes they would sit face value how come he doesn't know she doesn't do you know that speakers of the communist party said nothing about jails for political prisoners and other prisons being turned into resorts. what this play is based on a book called journey into the whirlwind by you gave me a ginsburg like nina the woman went through the gulag. prison mentions.

a seventeen year old inmate the book describes how adult women looked after the girl they washed her pants braided her hair gave her their sugar rations and taught her how to behave during interrogation. do you admit that you had terrorist intentions against comrade stalin and other leaders of the bolshevik party. i admit i had a terrorist intent against stalin the soviet government's crackdown on my father prompted such intentions. i. mean his fate was likely sealed before she was even born she could have ended up in prison anyway even without the diary. to begin with she was born into the family of an opposition ist his father said again have been will go to school he was a communist but his interpretation of the word different from how the bolsheviks

and the ruling party understood it. he was in favor of the people's power and against the dictatorial power of one man despite repeated harassment in arrests minas father managed to set up a prosperous enterprise to cooperative bakers it was called the end colony all in its four hundred staff from director to floor sweeper. were paid the same salary they had free meals at the local canteen and the cooperative ran its own hairdressing salon in theater it was a veritable communist paradise. but when some members of the ruling party asked his father to allow them to join the prosperous cooperative he turned them down he was arrested in one nine hundred thirty seven and executed shortly thereafter. if you want to buy a new idea diary as it were discovered when her flat was searched generally for its nine hundred thirty seven. nina's mother lubow and her two sisters who were

arrested on march the tenth nina was arrested six days later. nina was sentenced to five years in prison as were her mother and her sisters. all four were sent to lever camps in the country's north. and. when we were in eighth and ninth for but she didn't show up at the start of the school year. she had fallen ill. nobody in school knew that nina had been arrested she just vanished into thin air classmates might have guessed what happened to her but they didn't dare talk about it at the time soviet people were no longer overly surprised to hear of people disappearing without a trace even children were arrested as a matter of routine. in tenderness why did they do to you.

i stood up for the history teacher he had been arrested back in spring. when they sent a new teacher toss the whole class went on strike all of us were arrested at the graduation party that summer. i'd even dressed up for the occasion with a bow and everything. but you know i'm sure i'm sure that the truth will be found out and they will be set free because i i just know they will because as sent a letter to comrade stalin. in europe the sky is called the russian and frank the jewish girl who exposed naziism in a war time diary. on a died in a concentration camp of typhoid. survives the ordeal of the gulag.

culture is the same i understand my family and it's always a woman's on the back would be able to do it but it isn't the markers one year around the catastrophic earthquake haiti remains in ruins and prospects are weak what has gone so wrong for this and poppers. download the official antti application to your i phone on pod touch from the i choose ops to. life on the go. video on demand parties my fuel costs and all recessed feeds now in the palm of your. question on the dot com wealthy british style seinfeld's that's not on the front. of the. markets financed scandal find out what's really happening to the global economy for

a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines joining to cause a report on r.t. . in this history lesson the teacher is quoting examples from the background of his own family rather than a textbook he's recounting the story of his grandmother who like nina was arrested . a good idea when when my grandmother was first question by an investigator she did not realize what she was in for a woman there east but there are signs laughing at what she said when she returned to the cell she remarked the lead investigator has no manners he didn't even ask me to take a seat. this is something to stop. but their dogs. this is. and. i do mean touches like all gangsters they do they do see business at night you have

to block your ears if you don't want to go crazy with that beasts. a region in russia's north gripped by a harsh climate it's six thousand kilometers from moscow mina and her mother and sisters were sent here after they were found guilty of so-called counterrevolutionary activity menas diary had been included in her case as key material evidence. i spent several days in that painting a picture in my mind's eye of how i kill him that dictator villain and swine that georgian was crippled russia and how do i do it i want to kill him at the earliest opportunity i will take revenge for myself and my father. food

chain your old mina wrote those lines in one nine hundred thirty three the inner thoughts of a teenager with an attitude but three years later under excruciating interrogation she was forced to sign a confession admitting a plot against stalin's life. was exactly where your terrorist intentions. i did nothing concrete i only hoped i would cross stalin's path outside the kremlin after finding out when he normally left it then i would shoot him with a revolver. visitors to the mudd today have mixed feelings on one hand they see beautiful landscapes on the other they know that the region's history is fraught with inexplicable cruelty. the truth to draw skya to the prison camp in the autumn of one nine hundred thirty seven took a road built by other inmates many of them died during the construction. we

have come to visit a prison camp for women. women serve their terms here between the one nine hundred thirty nine hundred fifty and the. cattle i'm grew vegetables. nina's ambition was to be a painter and a musician but most of all she wanted to be a celebrated author however the easel the piano and the pen were now things of her past here she be forced to use tools of another trait. visited what was left of prison camps to collect oil lamps aluminum ugs picks and spades. here is a new exit for a museum they used to mine gold with it she set up a museum dedicated to the gulag and sometimes visits the camps with relatives of former inmates. there was

a cemetery for children around here among the bushes in the one nine hundred forty s. . i think the child of one of the inmates was buried in this small coffin and. the graves were shallow at that time must have dug it up. i found it in one thousand nine hundred nine and. she'd been assigned to work at the camps poultry farm. day then alive she didn't die of vitamin deficiency. there were almost no survivors among inmates working in the gold mines. most could endure only four years of such grueling labor there were two types of inmates in prison camps criminals convicted for murder burglary or similar crimes and people convicted for political activity. sue

called political convicts even included mothers who might have stolen wheat stocks from a collective farm to feed their starving children or fathers coming to work five minutes late grandfathers who kept copies of the bible at home were persecuted and even teenagers writing school compositions and what was seen as the wrong spirit could fall foul of the law that people were put behind bars for telling jokes and praising technological achievements of other countries there was a host of absurd charges i still keep the one nine hundred twenty six criminal code that one of its articles even made side punishment for failing to provide horses to the red army. many historians suggest that if the sylvia government had used normal methods it would have taken fifty years to open up a mock prison inmates did the job in ten. slave mandela could help give become big thrust forward. to roll back in the early

twentieth century french economists had. the soviet union was halted in its tracks no country would be able to catch up with it by nine hundred fifty. the gold miner and son of an ex political prisoner he doesn't learn his history from a book the land where he lives is his teacher sometimes it shocks with graphic lessons like this one. is a rifle card which is just these ones are pistol fired yes pistol fired i think these were fired with a car mine or submachine gun. look here some more. they crop out quite often this one is rusty yeah small wonder after so many years down there. here bullets in cartridges are just as common as gold nuggets.

inmates were publicly shot and killed by the thousand to inspire fear in the others . they also wanted to make sure that gold mining targets were men on time. some reason company executives believed i would always have a plentiful supply of gold mining in colima i think nineteen thirty seven and especially not in thirty eight with the darkest pages in colon is history. the only thing the teacher couldn't explain to the children was why some inmates shouted words of admiration for stalin before they were executed and why they were still sure that anybody but him was to blame for their deaths. they strenuous you see a coat of stone was forming in the country even children were taught to worship an admired stone from a young age. while my mother recalls that she was at

a loss denser in questions from guests. they wonder which of the two she loved norm well her father or comments tell him. frankly she loved both an equal measure. of sky has survived five years of imprisonment before being exiled to the city of mungo done to work as a graphic designer at the local theater her job was to paint soviet style stars and write slogans on red banners it was during her stint to theatre that she met her future husband also an artist and ex in me. she was the carriage throughout the rest of hell life whenever her husband was going to tell somebody about to live she did like this and that she wouldn't let him say anything she was afraid as time went by nina realised one of her ambitions she was acclaimed as an artist but never again were her thoughts recorded in a diary as emotional and sincere as they had been in her childhood but she still

steered clear of public demonstrations and never used red colors in her paintings and italy kuvin an artist was her friend in the final years of her life there of the she was more daring in her work many other artists her paintings were not given due recognition it was not until she was sixty years old that she was admitted to the artists union nina's quiet in modest life came to an end in one thousand nine hundred three. true. you know that she.

she. she made it clear. case was closed because the elements of the crime were not present but millions of people in similar cases were already did their cases were simply closed because the elements of the crime were not present. the children hang around after class to discuss what they've just heard some try to remember the names of

relatives who had also passed through the gulag their teacher getting. the doe's will be lasting memories for. the father of gold miner. was also rehabilitated. to things he's duty bound to set up a memorial crosses where prison camps are cemeteries for inmates used to be he goes out of his way looking for these places he makes the crosses and then invites priests to come say memorial prayers over unmarked graves. take a look from decide. it's not quite in the right position stand here turn up to face me. ok. which.
