AUCPB- STUDENT STRUGGLE

BARNAUL STUDENTS DEMANDING THE RESIGNATION OF THE RECTOR
March 3, Barnaul Russian Student Union in conjunction with students of Altai State Technical University I.I. Polzunov held a protest action, demanding the resignation of the rector of the university Lev Korshunov.
At the same time Russian public organization "Russian Students' Union has launched a petion for the resignation of the rector, which will be forwarded to the Ministry of Education and Science. To date, over 1000 students’ signatures have been collected.
Note that the organizers gave notice of the action to the authorities, but in violation of law, it has not been agreed to.


=======================================



RUSSIAN PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE COLLECTING DATA ON STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN PROTEST RALLIES
Adminstration at the St. Petersburg State University (SPSU) and city prosecutor's office are checking students at the university in terms of their relationship to informal organizations and participation in protest actions, reports the Russian Students' Union, which considers this check illegal and should stop it. "We believe that the prosecutor of St. Petersburg and the administration of St. Petersburg State University violated students' rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation (Chapter 1, Part 1, Article 24) and the Federal Law" On Personal Data "(Clause 1, Article 7 , Chapter 2). They say that any use and dissemination of information about the private life of a person without his or her consent is not permitted ", - says the statement by the Russian Student Union.
The Union requests that the General Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Education and Science clarify the validity of such data collection.
The scandal arose after the college students were ordered to urgently provide data on their participation in social movements and street protest events. A memo was circulated by the rector in St. Petersburg State University for academic affairs Nicholas Kaledin. In it he asked for information "about students who consider themselves associated to informal youth associations which are extremist and subject to administrative liability for participation in uncoordinated public events", referring to the request by the prosecutor of St. Petersburg.

LATVIAN STUDENTS AGAINST THE DECREASE IN FUNDING FOR ART COLLEGES
Today, in Riga a student march took place who are protesting against the reduction of funding for art colleges.

The march began near the Latvian Academy of Art, passed to the Ministry of Culture and then headed to the Cabinet of Ministers.

Students demanded the resignation of Minister of Culture Sarmite Elerte and criticized Finance Minister Andris Vilks. They carry banners "Hands off higher education," "Do not take away funding for culture “...

In the march were politicians - representatives of the national bloc "All for Latvia!" - "Fatherland University Brivibay, Imants Paradnieks and Janis Dombrava, as well as the head of the Latvian Association of Free Trade Unions Peteris Krīgers.

The march was organized by students of the Latvian Academy of Arts, Latvian Academy of Music and the Latvian Academy of Culture.

Last week, the Cabinet decided to reduce funding for budget places in universities by 1 million lats. This means that at budget places in universities, which prepare the workers of culture and art, will have 60% less students.

STUDENTS MGUP HAVE FEES LOWERED AFTER THEY TOOK STRIKE ACTION
The Administration of Moscow State University (Press –Media faculty) (MGUP), students and teachers who achieved the resignation of the rector, also gained a 10% reduction in the cost of their education. As recalled by the Russian student union, fees for students under contract was raised at the beginning of the school year, although earlier the university administration said that a revision of the cost of learning will not happen. Commercialization of education has caused uproar among students and has become one of the reasons for beginning an indefinite strike by students MGUP.
The participants demanded the resignation of the Rector, reduced education costs and restoration of unfairly dismissed teachers. The strike was attended by about 350 students and 30 faculty members.
In January 2011 by order of the Minister of Education and Science, Andrei Fursenko, university rector Alexander Tsyganenko was dismissed.
In turn, the temporary leadership of the university met the other demands of the strikers – a 10% reduction in tuition fees.
Meanwhile, the administration of the university has still not reinstated the unfairly dismissed teachers who actively participated in the strike and protests.
In the near future are to be held elections for a new rector. The Russian student union and student union of the MGUP will continue to fight for the rights and interests of students and will work for open and democratic elections of the new rector.

AUCPB-CLASS STRUGGLE

MARCH 02 -RUSSIA
MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORKERS AT TUSHINO ENGINEERING PLANT COULD END UP ON THE STREETS

02.03.2011 17:51
At the Tushino engineering plant, which occupies a huge territory in the Northwest District, an indefinite work stoppage has begun. Meanwhile, the products continue to be used every day – as they are the numerous trolley buses and buses around the city. Employees are assured: the owners are trying to bankrupt the plant in order to grab up land.

According to the company's employees, the problems began in late October 2010, when TMZ had a new CEO. The new management dismissed the personnel department entirely, along with the technical and occupational safety and innovation department. And the department for labour and wages has been significantly reduced.

After that, all the work at the plant stopped, and 1,150 employees have started getting two-thirds of their salary, with a stoppage without the workers consent, anf unfortunately attempts of workers to learn something about the future of their factory's leadership comes to nothing. At the same time the enterprise has formed a loss of 300 million rubles, although before that it worked at a profit.

On February 17, employees at Tushino engineering plant held a picket to draw attention to the issues. For two hours in a nearly 20-degree frost, people stood with placards in front of the House of Culture "Salute", which at that time was scheduled an extraordinary meeting of shareholders. About 70 employees n support of the picketers arrived, together with representatives of trade unions of ZIL and the Steel Works "Hammer and Sickle."

What to expect in the future, factory workers have no idea, but they are preparing for the worst. Total factory area is f 60 hectares. This area is a tasty morsel for many. At the plant, workers understand that the owners may try to destroy the plant to gain land.

In light of these events, it looks suspicious the "unexpected" stealing of four 5-ton press molds for the manufacture of railway crossings. Unknown persons have taken expensive equipment from the plant at night without meeting any resistance from security.

Each mold costs about 800 thousand rubles, says chairman of the Moscow city branch of the trade union of workers of the aviation industry Sergei Chugunkov - without them we can not make our products. In general, the plant has great potential. Firstly, we have the technology of mechanically recycling old tires. With its help, TMZ does not build only level crossing, but also speed humps. Secondly, the company has enough modern equipment. We had help from the city council for that.

27 FEBRUARY - RUSSIA
Rally against the price rises in Krimsk (Krasnodar Territory -Caucausus)

02.03.2011 18:52
On February 27, 2011 in Krimsk, Krasnodar region, a protest action in the form of a rally took place, over rising prices for housing and utilities, food and essential goods. Many representatives of the parties, movements and organizations, from various districts and cities of Krasnodar region, including the head of Seversky district party organization of the AUCPB took part.


At this meeting also arrived the chairman of the Kuban Union of Soviet officers from Krasnodar - Major-General AI Topchii. He came not only to support the protest, but to carry on propaganda work for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) policy on the issue of a "people’s" referendum. The referendum is held from 1 February to 30 September 2011. The Major-General, speaking at the rally, told the audience that the holding of a referendum is a peaceful struggle the aim of which is to change course of the country, remove Putin, and restore socialism and Soviet power. Maj. Gen. was cunning at the rally. In the Krasnodar website of the CPRF an article on the events of 23 Feb. a statement published by the Secretary of the Regional Committee of the CPRF I.O. Osadchy quotes: "... To change the government and the country’s course, a struggle is needed. One of the ways is the election of deputies into the State Duma. Preparation of this will be a campaigned for a People's referendum ...". As they say, no comment. Speeches by Party members and activists at the rally in Krimsk were fair and of the AUCPB, and that all our troubles and suffering comes only from the capitalist system and private ownership of the means of production. Therefore, whoever is replaced by way of elections in the bourgeois regime, no matter what referendums are conducted, it will not become easier for us, but will still worsen. All of us together need to prepare for a revolution, a change of regime, capitalism to socialism. And not through elections but through the organization of a socialist revolution. Only then can we return to the Soviet power, socialism, and save ourselves. At this event, AUCPB newspapers SiM, RKP, and Revolution, together with Bolshevik leaflets, the program of the AUCPB and calendars with a portrait J.V. Stalin were distributed

The protest action was calm enough, the workers expressed their discontent, but mostly in front of cameras, the rest were standing peacefully with placards. It is worth noting that the management of "Uzhuralkonditer" did not meet with the protesters. .According to rumors, the candy factory is owned by one of the major banks, and its assets by the wife of former Mayor Luzhkov of Moscow, Yelena Baturina.

US WAR DRILLS BLASTED

KCNA Warns US-S. Korea of Serious Consequences of Their Saber-rattling


Pyongyang, March 3 (KCNA) -- The situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula is reminiscent of the eve of war due to Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises kicked off by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces.
The on-going saber-rattling is arousing deep concern at home and abroad as it is the maneuver for a nuclear war with their huge offensive means involved. It was kicked off under the U.S. scenario for a war of aggression against the DPRK to swallow up the whole of the Korean Peninsula by force of arms in order to put pressure on the East of the Asian continent.
It is obviously actual maneuvers for a nuclear war to invade the DPRK in their offensive nature and scale.
These maneuvers put main emphasis on drills for "eliminating and acquiring WMDs through surprise preemptive strike at the DPRK and the operation to cope with the "contingency" and they are larger in scale.
Participating in these exercises are hundreds of personnel of the 20th Support Command present in the U.S., a unit tasked to rapidly cope with, detect and eliminate WMDs, etc. And naval operation groups including U.S. aircraft carrier and strike flying corps including strategic bombers are getting frantic with maneuvers in the seas and sky.
The south Korean puppet Defense Ministry blustered that the large-scale U.S. reinforcements are involved in the military exercises as they are needed for occupying the north. This fully reveals their aggressive nature.
Nevertheless, the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces are describing the saber-rattling as an annual and usual one for defense. This is shameless rhetoric to cover up the true nature of their maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK.
Those who threw a stumbling block in the way of achieving peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the region by kicking off the dangerous war maneuvers will have to pay a very high price for them.
Those who like to play with fire are bound to perish therein.

KCNA Denounces US-S. Korea Joint Exercises


Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers Monday started joint military exercises for aggression Key Resolve and Foal Eagle across south Korea.
Huge armed troops of the U.S. forces and south Korean puppet army are combat-ready and groups for naval operations including a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are deployed in the waters off south Korea. Strike flying corps including strategic bombers are ready to go into action.
This is another grave move taken by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and ignite a war, opposed to the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
Herein lies a true aim sought by the group of traitors in south Korea in deliberately torpedoing the preliminary talks for opening the north-south high-level military talks arranged with much effort to defuse the military tension on the Korean Peninsula.
As already known, south Korea has consistently responded with ceaseless frantic war exercises targeted against the DPRK to the proposal for opening wide-ranging dialogue between the north and the south made in the joint statement of the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK.
The day following the publication of the statement the Air Operation Command of the south Korean puppet army let gun-ships fly in the sky above Yangphyong area of Kyonggi Province and fire machine guns and missiles, kicking up a war atmosphere. The 5th Infantry Division of the army, a brigade for special warfare of the navy, the 103rd fighter squadron under the 8th combat flying corps of the air force, etc. of south Korea staged field tactical drills, exercises for naval infiltration, dropping bombs and strafing with offensive war equipment involved.
Whenever the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises were staged around the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. blustered that the nuclear-powered carrier George Washington would be dispatched there and it was necessary to cope with somebody's "local war."
This is a blatant challenge and perfidy to the DPRK which has made ceaseless efforts and showed magnanimity to ensure dialogue and peaceful environment on the peninsula.
Key Resolve and Foal Eagle are bound to drive the north-south relations to more serious catastrophe and increase the danger of war on the peninsula.
The army and people of the DPRK will counter with their own-style strike method against those who dare challenge its dignified socialist system through their adventurous joint saber-rattling.

Workers in North and South of Korea Publish Peace Declaration


Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea and the Federation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Trade Unions of south Korea issued a peace declaration of the workers in the north and the south of Korea Monday.
The declaration expressed concern about the touch-and-go situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula. It urged the U.S. and the south Korean authorities to immediately halt the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.
The north proposed wide-ranging dialogue and negotiations between the two sides. But the military authorities of south Korea kicked off the big maneuvers while calling for taking countermeasure against it, the declaration said. This is aimed to justify the military exercises, it added.
The exercises are a planned provocation to push the north-south relations to the brink of a war and they also reveal an intention to maintain the confrontation policy, the declaration said, adding:
All the Koreans are calling for negotiated settlement to all the issues amid the mounting danger of a war on the Korean Peninsula.
The south Korean authorities should promptly come out for dialogue and negotiations with the north, though belatedly, from a sincere stand for peace and stability of the peninsula.
Calling for active solidarity and exchanges between the workers in the north and the south, the declaration denounced the south Korean authorities for having repeatedly disallowed contacts and visits between NGOs and people of various strata and inflicted legal punishment on them.
The declaration stated that the organizations would hold colorful events including a meeting of workers in the north and the south for reunification and promote solidarity and cooperation between them.
We will wage unflinching actions against those forces standing in the way of contacts, dialogue and cooperation between the workers from the north and the south, it declared.

LONG LIVE STALIN!

REMEMBRANCE DAY OF J.V. STALIN
On March 5, 1953 Joseph Stalin died - an outstanding leader of the Bolshevik Party and the multinational Soviet state, the leader of the world proletariat and a faithful disciple and successor of the cause of Lenin,and Supreme Commander of the Soviet Armed Forces.

Stalin –was the greatest organizer of the socialist state, not knowing exploitation of man by man, social and national oppression. Stalin, uniting the people of the Soviet Union in a friendly and fraternal family, in a historically short period of time brought Russia to the forefront of industrial, scientific, technological and cultural progress. In years of severe trials of 1941-45, Stalin was able to mobilize all the forces of the people and defeat the enemy, defend freedom, honor and independence of our Soviet homeland.

Stalin for us today is our battle flag that indicates to us the right path of struggle, strengthening our faith in victory, giving us the strength to overcome any difficulties.

With what an incredible rage and anger the ruling authorities are trying to erase from the consciousness of working people the fond memory of Stalin, to discredit him and the entire period of Soviet history. Most of all they are scared by the growth of class and national consciousness of the people, first of all - the Russian people. After all, Stalin's name is merged with the heroic pages of the struggle of the peoples of the USSR for their liberation, the struggle for socialism, which is now a living example in the struggle of workers around the world for their rights.

But the ever-increasing growth of the prestige of Stalin in our society and the world will not be stopped by anyone. Just like they can not stop the course of human history, which is now moving from capitalist barbarism that put mankind on the brink of death, to communist society, which once and for all will put an end to war and exploitation and ensure peace and happiness on Earth.

On this day, March 5, all the progressive people of the world honor the cherished memory of Joseph Stalin.

93-rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE RED ARMY MARKED IN RUSSIAN CITY OF KRASNOYARSK

On February 23, the anniversary of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army in Krasnoyarsk was marked by a rally organized by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), which was also attended by the Bolsheviks of the All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB).

Besides being a public holiday, the meeting was also dedicated to the memory of Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Matrosov, the monument around which gathered participants of the event. Speakers at the rally that were members of the CPRF largely cursed the present authorities for their attempts to "destroy the invincible Soviet Army."

Thanks to a previous agreement made to be allowed speak at the meeting, the microphone was given to the representative of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, E. Fatyanova. But no sooner had the megaphone been handed to the representative of the Bolsheviks, some nervous person from the back of the crowd started screaming out something like she "couldn’t hear”, apparently hoping to disrupt the speech. However, the attempt failed.

In her speech, E. Fatyanova highlighted the fact that the current collapse of the Russian Army is a deliberate policy of the capitalists, in preserving their dominance and clearing the way into the country for their "allies" of the imperialist U.S., and noted that by these actions of the Russian ruling elite, they are "digging a grave” for the exploitative system, by causing growing discontent in the ranks of the military.
At the rally were distributed AUCPB newspapers Serp I Molot ("Hammer and Sickle"), Raboche-Krestyanskaya Pravda ("Workers 'and Peasants' Truth"), and Revolyutsia ("Revolution.")

REFLECTIONS OF FIDEL

The Cynical Dance Macabre

The policy of plunder imposed by the United States and their NATO allies in the Middle East has gone into a crisis. It has inevitably unraveled with the high cost of grain, the effects of which can be felt more forcefully in the Arab countries where, in spite of their huge resources of oil, the shortage of water, areas covered by desert and the generalized poverty of the people contrast with the enormous resources coming from the oil possessed by the privileged sectors.

While food prices triple, real estate fortunes and the treasures of the aristocratic minority reach millions of millions of dollars.

The Arab world, mainly Muslim in its culture and beliefs, has seen itself additionally humiliated by the imposition of blood and fire by a State that was not capable of fulfilling the basic obligations that were part of their origin, from the colonial order existing up to the end of WW II, by virtue of which the victorious powers created the United Nations Organization and imposed world trade and economy.

Thanks to the treason committed by Anwar El-Sadat at Camp David, the Palestinian State has not been able to exist, despite the UN treaties of November 1947, and Israel became a strong nuclear power, an ally of the United States and NATO.

The US Military Industrial Complex supplied Israel with tens of billions of dollars every year as well as to the very Arab States that were submitted and being humiliated by Israel.

The genie has escaped from the bottle and NATO doesn´t know how to control it.

They are going to attempt to wrest the most benefits from the regrettable events in Libya. Nobody can know at this moment what is happening over there. All the figures and versions, even the most implausible ones, have been spread by the empire via the mass media, sowing chaos and disinformation.

It is obvious that inside Libya a civil war is brewing. Why and how did this happen? Who will pay the consequences? Reuters Agency, echoing the opinion of the well-known Nomura Bank of Japan, stated that oil prices could go beyond any limits:

“‘If Libya and Algeria suspend oil production, prices could reach a maximum of more than 220 dollars a barrel and OPEC´s inactive capacity would be reduced to 2.1 million barrels per day, similar to levels seen during the Gulf War and when values touched 147 dollars a barrel in 2008’, the bank asserted in an article.”

Who could pay that price these days? What would be the consequences in the midst of the food crisis? The main NATO leaders are all worked up. British Prime Minister David Cameron, ANSA informed, “…admitted in a speech in Kuwait that the western nations made a mistake in backing non-democratic governments in the Arab world.” One has to congratulate him on his frankness.

His French colleague Nicolas Sarkozy stated: “The extended brutal and bloody repression of the Libyan civilian population is disgusting”.

Italian Chancellor Franco Frattini stated as “‘believable’ the figure of one thousand dead in Tripoli [...] ‘the tragic numbers shall be a bloodbath’.”

Hillary Clinton stated the following: “…the ‘bloodbath’ is ‘completely unacceptable’ and ‘it has to stop’…”

Ban Ki-moon spoke: “‘The use of violence in the country is absolutely unacceptable’.”

“…‘the Security Council will act according to whatever the international community decides’.” “‘We are considering a series of options’.”

What Ban Ki-moon is really hoping is that Obama pronounces the last word.

The president of the United States spoke this Wednesday afternoon and stated that the Secretary of State would be leaving for Europe in order to agree with their NATO allies on the measures to be taken. On his face once could note the opportunity to spar with John McCain, the far-right-wing Republican senator, pro-Israel Senator Joseph Lieberman from Connecticut and the leaders of the Tea Party, in order to ensure the Democratic Party demands.

The empire´s mass media has prepared the terrain for action. There would be nothing strange about a military intervention in Libya; besides, with that, Europe would be guaranteed almost two million barrels of light oil per day, unless before that events would put an end to the leadership or the life of Gaddafi.

Anyway, Obama´s role is rather complicated. What will the reaction of the Arab and Muslim world be if blood should flow in abundance in that country as a result of that exploit? Would NATO intervention in Libya stem the revolutionary tidal wave surging in Egypt?

In Iraq, the innocent blood of more than a million Arab citizens was spilt when the country was invaded under false pretexts. Mission accomplished!: proclaimed George W. Bush.

Nobody in the world would ever agree with the deaths of defenseless civilians in Libya or anywhere else. And I wonder: will the US and NATO apply that principle on the defenseless civilians that the unmanned Yankee planes and the soldiers of that organization kill every day in Afghanistan and Pakistan?

It is a cynical dance macabre.
