RSS FORMER USSR (See also AzerbaiJan, CIS, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) “PUNISHED PEOPLES” OF THE SOVIET UNION The Continuing Legacy of Stalin’s Deportations Examining the present situation of ten Soviet peoples who suffered mass national deportation from their homelands under Stalin mainly to the Soviet republics of Central Asia this report shows that not one of these nationalities or its members has ever received just compensation for the harm done to it. Moreover, successive Soviet governments since Stalin have been reticent about disclosing and acknowledging the injustices or the peoples’ innocence of wrongdoing. Ostensibly, most of the deportations were carried out because these peoples had betrayed their country during the Nazi invasion. Yet the evidence suggests that, by and large, the accused nationalities had acted loyally in defending their country. Ultimately, assigning collective guilt and punishment by reason of ethnic affiliation was a great crime from which its victims still suffer. GLASNOST IN JEOPARDY Human Rights in the USSR This report reviews human rights issues during a critical period in Soviet history when very real accomplishments under Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy of glasnost were made and then reversed or seriously threatened by his efforts to restore “law and order.” Covering the period of 1990 and early 1991, Glasnost in Jeopardy describes traditional human rights concerns (civil and political rights, freedom of association, freedom of movement, due process and detention issues, as well as political participation) and also highlights ethnic and nationality problems and instances of communal violence. There is also a survey of enforcement agencies, and new executive powers. An appendix features relevant Soviet laws passed during this period, including those on the press, religion, public organizations and states of emergency.

It used to be one of the most secret places on the Black Sea coastal line of the USSR. Formerly a naval station where Soviet subs were based, it is once again alive with activity. No, the old naval base is not being rejuvenated to fit NATO standards. It is now the site of the construction of a petroleum terminal capable of processing 10 million tonnes of crude and petroleum derivatives annually. The terminal is being built by the Terminal-2000 company jointly founded in 1999 by the Georgian Railroad and the Austrian Argomar Oil company. Since August 2001, the World Bank has been financing the construction. The estimated cost of completing the first phase of it is USD 70 million. It should become operational in late June 2002. The construction of new storage tanks and one of the two railroad platforms has been completed. The Kulevi terminal is supposed to take over for the Batumi seaport and will become the transhipping point for petroleum from Turkmenistan and other Caspian states. Ultimately, the project provides for the construction of three sea piers capable of accepting tankers of up to 50,000 tonnes deadweight.
