A specter is haunting ...
An interesting application generated in the past week caused a sensation in Latvia. The Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina and her husband, former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov looking for a new residence outside of Russia. The "world " had chosen the apparently disgraced mayor stepped into one of the "losers 2010. Three countries come into the focus of speculation and rumors. Great Britain, Austria and Latvia spent In December Luzhkov in Tirol Snow holidays, gave the local mountain rescue a snowmobile, and made in the press by the fact headlines that he order solicited police protection - that is apparently a not entirely carefree holiday (see TT-com ). But last weekend, when the ski race on the Streif in Kitzbuehel ran, was again reading from Russian-financed celebrity parties in the Austrian press (see news-at , Kleine Zeitung ). The ORF speculated on real estate transactions of the two rich Russians and suspected a change of residence to Austria since the end of September (ORF 29.9.10).
In November 2010, had Luzhkov can bring his two daughters to London - because he allegedly feared for their safety, it is as " Russia News " Luschkovs statements in the press.
Why Latvia? Only a few months ago a Latvian law has become valid after an investor from Russia can then apply for a residence permit if he or she has invested at least 50,000 lats (alternatively by bank deposits). Last summer was all over Riga appropriate posters for the "Rietumu banka" (West Bank) to see: welcome to Europe! This should pose no problem for someone who has just 200,000 euros, according to press reports, is currently investing in a Latvian bank - you guess correctly, the 'Rietumu banka ". So was the already pre-marketing of its own wishful thinking? Well, the summer was still mayor Luzhkov in Moscow.
wakes Or as an old Soviet-era nostalgia again when earned Funtionäre the dacha in Jurmala reserved?
a good reason similar to the Russian newspaper "Vesti Segodnya" times to ask how long this "black list" really is: the names of over 5,000 people are to be listed, a total of about 1,000 people will be denied entry to Latvia.
The complete rejection of the Latvian authorities has something to do with the fact that Luzhkov had earlier been detained often for a short time in Latvia and several times with remarks had caused a sensation such as the expectation Russian a second official language should be. Must be scary to us because - because of expulsion criticism of the government? The more we knew from other countries. But is there really cause for concern ? In this direction
Baltic Course cited comments of English-language media, which quoted a bit ironic the image that Russian media are characterized by frequently like Latvia, "haunted by fascists and ruled by anti-Russian ethnocratic. And just where would someone like Luzhkov to settle now? "Luzhkov, the mayor had banned the former Latvian sprats from the supermarkets?"
Askolds Rodin, commentator for the Latvian magazine IR , Luzhkov knows other sayings. According to these statements have fallen as "genocide Latvia operates against its own citizens" and comparisons with the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia. In return, Luzhkov has never apologized or made these statements correctly. Strong stuff. - One of the reasons for refusal
is now to have been that Luzhkov did not just invest in Latvia, but only to use the permit-free travel opportunity in Europe.
All right, it's exciting to-follow, if the former Muscovites now gets paid anywhere else shelter and permanent residence - so far it does not look, either in Austria or in England. The Latvian Parliament has already submitted a revision of the investor-friendly legislation on the task - from "clarification" is discussed here, both in government and apparently even with the opposition. Well then: happy work! have
