[Olesya] UZ - The show must go on…

|

It seems that the news blockade has been lifted and I can now access Russian websites. The President's latest statements left me absolutely speechless... I would naturally expect the government to continue playing its old game but this time the overacting stands out more vividly than ever before. However, it seems they’ve abused way too many rules over the past few days. I just wonder how much more of this bull we can take.

Certain rumors are being circulated regarding the actual number of casualties during the May 13-14 incidents. Some people say now that there were as many as two thousand and upwards. There are also dreadful details about human bodies being piled in the middle of Andijon’s park and buried somewhere in the vicinity of the park. I don’t know whether it’s true but people have also been saying that if paid 2000 soums taxi-drivers will take anyone interested and show them around the city where the tragic scenes took place. A sick curiosity of some kind.

Most people in Andijon have gone to work today. This basically means that the government wants everyone to forget about what happened and get back to ‘normal’ life. I doubt it can be done so easily though.
