Reviving
Volunteerism in
Gatchina
The term "volunteer" took
on a new and negative meaning in
the Soviet Union.
It was a
required, non-paid day of service,
enforced by employers and social
pressure. Although Soviet citizens
would boast to foreign visitors
about the accomplishments of such
work days, there was a sense of
relief at the demise of this tradition
with the collapse of the Soviet
Union.

revive the more universal concept
of willingly giving their time and
effort for the good of others is no
small task. This was the goal of

from Volfodonsk, Sofia, Moscow,
Dzerzhinsk, and Gatchina to
donate their time and energy to cleaning public areas in the town of Gatchina. They tidied up rubbish in the
park, did weeding around the buildings and cleaned the ponds and canals. This year two or three other
camps were held too, following our example, so the spirit seems to be spreading.

Chechen extremists took control of a large downtown theater holding over 700 citizens hostage. Yasmin

Alternatives to Violence Project Continues to Grow
The Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP) in Russia continues to spread into new areas and reach new organizations. While
the first efforts in Russia required foreign trainers to
come in at great expense, there are now local trainers
at every level. At the end of April the council
appointed Ania Grasenkova to be the new coordinator
for the next 3 months.
During May Grasenkova worked very hard to
systematise the data on AVP in Russia. She came to
FHM two or three times a week and worked on the
computer, putting in order the lists of workshop
participants and their comments, going back to 1999.
She also produced a list of currently active facilitators.
Together with Galina (FHM staff member), Ania
produced a text for the "AVP Russia" website.
The AVP council planned four workshops for
June (two basic and two T4T), allowing for the fact
that half of May is taken up with public holidays and
so no workshops could be organised during this
period.
At the start and end of May there were 2
mini-workshops for facilitators. At the first, a few
facilitators talked about what they had learned when
leading AVP exercises like "I-messages", "Fishbowl",
and new "light and livelies".
The second mini-workshop was dedicated to
"forgotten" exercises, ones which facilitators do not
usually include in their program planning. We also
discussed
situations which arose during the work on

Hostages vs. Peaceful solutions

The protesters carried signs reading. "Stop the war in Chechnya", "Moscow wake up" and "Stop spilling blood." Many of the
protesters were friends and colleagues of Mark Rozovsky, a director and playwright whose 14 year old daughter was among the
hostages.
Marina Kholodnova, a 47 year old protester was quoted as saying, "I sincerely believe that what we were told about this war
wasn't true... We were told there were some random mopping-up operations. Now I understand that there is a real war over there.
(The actions oj) these Chechens, who are prepared to give tl1eirlives, made me understand it. I don't think they are terrorists. They
are people who want to stop the war. They did such a thing because of their great anguish."
Even Putin stressed the importance of not blaming all Chechens for the actions of a few extremists. Chechen officials had
tried to reason with the hostage takers, warning that this would not help the situation at home. Instead, it would more likely lead to
heavy losses in Chechnya. Even in Grozny,. the capital of the Chechen republic, a large demonstration was held denouncing the
actions of the hostage takers and violence in general. They pleaded with the hostage takers to give up and let the hostages go.
However, the captors were not deterred from the course they had set.
At about 5:00 AM the Russian forces outside decided on a desperate course of action: they would pump an anesthetic gas
into the theater putting all the hostages and their captors to sleep. Then troops could rush the building, capture the terrorists and
release the hostages.
It was all over rather quickly. Most of the hostage takers inside were killed. Ambulances came to take the hostages to
hospitals. The family members and friends who were waiting outside rejoiced that loved ones had survived. The word spread quickly
that most of the hostages had been released.
Then the toll of deaths among the hostages began to rise. At first it was less than twenty, and then about 50 and eventually
the total reached 128. Some were horrified that so many died, but most Russians who were interviewed by the press felt that the
actions were justified. Even some families of those hostages who died said it was the right action to take, grateful that at least some of
the hostages were reunited with their loved ones. In general, the world leaders praised Putin's action as necessary and courageous.
Immediately a wall of flowers and candles began to grow in front of the theater, tokens of grief and sympathy for fellow

Materials for the AVP
website (Russian language) are now
ready (www.avp.inrussia.org), and
we are preparing to reprint the
second-level AVP manuals.
The AVP council joyfully
reports, "We have now obtained, with
the help of the Center for
Peacemaking
and
Community
Development (CPCD), the necessary
papers for signing an agreement with
UIN (Department of Punishment the prison service) which will
hopefully allow AVP in prisons."
In mid April Galina went to
Lipetsk to be one of the facilitators
for toe T4T workshop and to find out
about this project, which FHM is
financing. Together with the project
co-ordinator, Sasha Pominova, she
visited the "Peers" club in the
Novolipetsk region, where many
young people from underprivileged
families spend most of their time out
on the streets. The psychologists,

FHM, run psychological workshops-'
for these young people. The
psychologists invite young people from a local college to attend, too. When the FHM project ended at the start of May, Sasha
Pominova intended using their reports as the basis of an appeal to the local authorities for funding for the work the psychologists have
begunwiththe "streetchildren".

Muscovites who had lost friends and family. The city mourned its losses and rejoiced that so many had been saved. It was referred to
as Moscow's "Sept. 11th".
The Aftermath, Hopes for Peace and the Work of FHM
The tone set by President Bush after Sept. 11, was echoed in the Kremlin. There was a renewed call to eliminate all
terrorists. The brutality of past and current military actions in Chechnya was now labeled as too soft. But this is not the only voice in
the region. Many individuals and organizations including F~iends House Moscow are working for peaceful solutions to the current
conflicts.
One spokesman for a negotiated solution is Ivan Rybkin, the former Russian Duma speaker. Radio Free Europe / Radio
Liberty reported in'October that Rybkin said, "The time has come when, personally, President Putin and President Maskhadov should
sit down at the negotiating table to bring an end to the brutal warfare taking place in Chechnya". Rybkin helped bring about the 1997
peace accord that ended Russia's first Chechen war and is the most prominent political figure in Russia now advocating a negotiated
end to the conflict. Speaking through a translator during a briefing on October 24, he said that Russian leaders should "stop lying to
ourselves .and the rest of the world about the situation in Chechnya." He urged that separatists be addressed at the political leveL
Rybkin argued for a peace settlement between Russia and Chechnya that would include "the cessation of hostilities,...amnesty
for the participants in hostilities on both sides, [including those] who may have committed crimes during this war in Chechnya and
granting Chechnya...the widest possible autonomy while it remains part of the Russian Federation." Rybkin claimed that the Chechen
side is ready for such negotiations, stating that President Maskhadov's special envoy Ahmed Zakayev told him during meetings in
August in Zurich and Liechtenstein that "the Chechen side...would welcome direct presidential rule by President Putin in Chechnya
for the interim period."
According to Rybkin, even some of the military leaders are "sick and tired of this war" and are "trying to find a way out." He
noted that the actual number of Russian casualties in the second Chechen war may be much higher that the officially released figure of

four thousand. According to the Union of Committees
of Soldiers' Mothers, which recently held a nation-wide
meeting in Moscow, the Russian military has suffered
14,000 casualties, including those killed in action, those
who died of wounds suffered in action and those who
committed suicide due to the war.
Those working for peace are not just at the
official level. There are citizens on both sides of the
conflict who want peace.

examples of 2 of the organizations working in this area.
"CCM* and CPCD** have now run three dialogue
workshops with a total of around 2S Russian and
Chechen civil society actors who are discussing issues,
suggesting ways forward and working on joint projects.
This is a continuation and a strengthening of already
existing joint action especially on the part of many
women from Chechnya and Russia. These people are
almost invisible in the m.erlia,giving the impression that
it is the Russian security forces vs. the separatists, and
then a few parliamentarians like Rybkin who are in the
picture. "
"There are a lot of people in the middle, in what
one might call the peace constituency, both Russians and
Chechens who not only want peace, but are doing
something about it. One week after the hostage crisis
(colleagues) from CCM and CPCD were facilitating a
joint dialogue workshop where Russians and Chechens
were working on developing joint peace-building
projects. This project. which we call the' Peace-building
Capacity Development Project for Russia-Chechnya'
started last year with support from QPSW as a
collaboration between FHM, CPCD and CCM. Now we
have received support from the Norwegian MFA and the

Canadian government and many people have been
involved from southern Russian, Moscow region,
Ingushetia and Chechnya. And, of course, there are other initiatives as well."
Friends House Moscow is involved in this work. Many of our projects involve teaching conflict resolution skills to be used
in mediation work in Chechnya and other troubled areas. These trainings are requested by teachers, leaders of grass roots
organizations and organizers in refugee camps. Each contact.we make reinforces the belief that we are not alone in working for peace
and our part in the work is important.

Sewing Project in Penza
I
In the town of Penza
over 20 women and teen-age
girls sit at sewing machines and
produce trousers and other
clothing.
These products
provide clothing for their own
families, but even more
important, they provide a means
of income for the women, most
of who are widows.
The workshop is open
full time, 5 days a week, and 2
sellers sell the products at the
market 6 days a week.

see how the project was going.
She observed how grateful they
were that jobs have been created
for these women and that young
girls were being taught to sew.
This will give them the chance
of a career. She saw that there

goods at a stall in the
market and in a shop. The fact that the workshop has moved to the center of Penza will make selling goods in Penza easier.
At the beginning of September we received a report from the project coordinator to say that during August they bought 3
industrial sewing machines and sewing materials. In one month the workshop produced 250 items of children's and men's clothing
which can be sold for 65,000 roubles (more than $2000). They formed a group of 10 secondary school girls who will be taught to sew
professionally, created 11jobs for refugee women and gave school trousers free of charge to 17 pupils from poor migrant families.
At a subsequent meeting, the FHM Executive Committee agreed to fund the expansions of the project.

The Odessa Regional Mediation
Group is addressing the high social
tension in Ukraine, the weak regional
links between education specialists, the
need for training in non-violent
conflict resolution and the lack of
specialist information on methodology
and is providing an opportunity for the
exchange of ideas and resources.
They ran a competition to find the
best methodology, lesson and course
program in building a culture of peace
and conflict resolution.
This project will encourage
interdisciplinary cooperation, help
build a culture of peace and prepare
videos and written materials which can
be distributed more widely among
specialists.
The Current Crisis in Chechnya
I
Choices for Chechens
Since the hostage situation in Moscow, the Russian
military has stepped up its search for "terrorists" in Chechnya.
This means that the people in Chechnya are subject to sudden
searches, many arrests and much fear.
Chechens have only three choices: they can move to
Moscow or other cities where they have relatives, they can
escape to refugee camps or they can live in Chechnya. None of
these is a good option. None provides the peace, stability or
normalcy they seek for themselves and their children.
Many refugees choose to move to Moscow or another
city, usually where they already have relatives or know that
other refugees have fled. Once they arrive, though, they find
life much more difficult than they had imagined. There is no
work, no safe housing, no schooling and little help. (see the
articles about the FHM sponsored projects "Wann Home ",~
"Woodworking Shop" and "Krasnodar Women's Club" in issue
#10 and "Sewing Project in Penza" in this issue)
Without documents to prove who they are they cannot
apply for legal immigration to a new area. They can be denied
the housing, work and school guaranteed to Russian citizens.
Since Chechnya is within Russia, they are also denied any of the
services offered to foreign refugees. There is now legal support
so the children of refugees can attend public schools (see
"School for Refugee Children" in issue #11). However, their
problems do not end with admission. Many of them have not
been in school for many years. Some have never attended.
Besides the traumatizing effects of the war, they are years
behind their peers academically and have very poor social skills.
In addition to this there is tremendous prejudice against them by
the other students and the teachers.
Even in their apartments they are not safe. Searches
may occur at any time of the day or night, family members may
be arrested because of the lack of some papers and there is a
constant state of fear.
Such instances have increased
dramatically since the hostage situation and the intensified
efforts to root out "terrorists".
Other Chechens have fled to the refugee camps where
life is limited to trying to survive. There are dilapidated tents
that provide little protection from the .winter cold. Water ~nd
food are in short supply. There is usually no work and no
school. The children continue in a traumatized state, often for
years, without treatment. Some become withdrawn. Others are
violent. The parents, often just a mother or other relative caring
for them, are themselves too traumatized to be of much help to
their distra.ughtchildren. Many of the children up to the age of
10 have never been in a school. There are a few tutoring and
play-therapy programs, like the ones FHM sponsors, in some of
the camps, but they are inadequate for the vast number of
refugees that need such services. (see "Little Swallow" in issue
#10)
Despite the poor situation, many Chechens wish to
remain in the camps until it is safe to return to their homes.
There has been more safety and better living conditions in the
camps than back in Chechnya. However, this is ending.
Forced Camp Closures
The Russian government wants the rest of the world to
think that life in Chechnya has returned to normal
- that
it is a
safe place to live. Therefore they are forcing the closure of
many of the camps and demanding that the refugees return
home. Some of the refugees have been given a December
deadline to vacate or they will be forcefully removed. Power
and food supplies have already been cut off to some areas.
However, what awaits them is anything but normalcy.
Tuberculosis is epidemic.
There are outbreaks of
diphtheria and cholera. The infectious disease situation is
further aggravated by the lack of hospitals, poor communication
lines and roads, and bad quality drinking water. Forty-two
percent of the drinking water samples taken in one district do
not meet sanitary standards.
Human rights groups unite in condemning the brutality
of the Russian forces in the area. The International Helsinki
Federation for Human Rights (IHF) characterized this "as a
process which borders on genocide," said Aaron Rhodes,
executive director. One Moscow-based human rights group
estimated that between 10,000 and 20,000 Chechen civilians
had been killed by Russian forces since 1999. Moscow's troops
are regularly accused by Western governments and human
rights groups of looting houses and killing civilians during raids
aimed at rooting out rebel fighters.
In addition to the constant dangers from the military
actions in the area, the returning refugees have little in the way
of facilities to return to. Steven Lee Myers of the New York
Times reported on October 10, 2002: "The Kremlin has
promised billions of rubles for reconstruction, but almost the
only sign of work is an effort to patch up six apartment
buildings near the ruins that were once Lenin Square. The only
buildings fully restored in Grozny include (local political
leader's) offices and the headquarters of Grozny's electric
company. The company managed to restore electricity to parts
of the city this summer for a few hours a day. There is still no
running water.
"By contrast, the bases of the Ministry of the Interior's
46th Brigade and the Red Army's 42nd Motorized Infantry
Division are neat, tidy oases in Grozny's ruins.
"What is most staggering about Chechnya today is not
just the shocking scale of destruction, but the dissonance
between the pronouncements of Russian officialdom and the
realities of life in a place battered first by one war, and then, for
the last three years, by another."
At Friends House Moscow, we continue to look for opportunities to help in many different ways. Many individuals and
small grass-roots organizations look to us for guidance and support in setting up programs to address the needs of the families in
camps. Others are struggling to survive in a socially unsupportive city. As Chechens return home, we may have opportunities to
assist those trying to rebuild life in Chechnya. We hope that you will continue to support us so that we can continue to support
peaceful and cooperative efforts throughout the region.

Projects in Brief
I
workshop (another FHM project in Penza for unemployed
refugees).
A planning project on Peace Education: As one of the first
steps towards the project we have decided to organize a seminar
on tolerance in schools with the help of the Center for
Development and Peace Studies. Those interested in further
peace education work with schoolchildren will be invited. The
idea was discussed with Ivan Samarin, who works with COs in
Arkhangelsk, and he thinks such a seminar would be very
useful. He promised that two participants from Arkhangelsk
would love to join the seminar.
Orphanage library in Lubertsy: Grace Anne Williamson, a
volunteer with VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) and a
coordinator of this project. got the money from FHM to
purchase books for library to be created at the orphanage. One
of the rooms will be converted into.a library where the children
can have access to existing and new books. There will be a
quiet reading area there and the chance to borrow books by the
86 children who live there. Half of them are orphans and half
have family who can not care for them full-time.
Lastochka project: The staff worked with Oksana, a
psychologist from the NGO "Civic Assistance" who wants to
run a training course for the Lastochka play therapists-who work
in refugee camps in Ingushetia.
Contacts with other organizations and individuals: A large
part of the work of the staff is making connections with other
organizations and individuals with common interests and
developing a network of mutual support and cooperation. Here
are some examples:
Computer classes for special needs children:
Valentina
Boiko came to Moscow to collect the grant for her work with
handicapped children. We gave her information about CAF and
arranged for her to visit the CAF library where she found other
addresses of fund-granting organisations. She has bought two
computersfor the childrenwith special needs. One is a good
quality new computer and another is a second hand computer.
The computer class started in August. Ten children attend the
class with great pleasure.

Moscow: Kolia, FHM intern, visited the organization each
Wednesday from 11.00 to 14.00 to help them in the day-care
center.
Residential home project in Dzerzhinsk: Andrei Tumanov
came to FHM to collect money for the project. The purpose of
the project is to protect residents' rights at Reshetikha
residential home (in a village near Dzerzhinsk) and to improve
conditions there (food, clothing, etc.). The clients are 190
disabled and/or elderly people who live at the residential home.
Network
Moscow Monthly Meeting for Worship: In support of the
spiritual growth of the Meeting, FHM staff suggested to MMM
that they might }iketo meet at FHM twice a month for a meetin'g
for worship followed by discussion of issues connected with
Friends' faith and practice. The idea was welcomed and the first
such meeting was held at the end of May. After worship we
discussed, in the manner of worship sharing, Robert Griswold's
article, "No creed is not the same as no theology", published in
the December 2001 issue of Quaker Monthly. Galina and
Suzanne had translated it into Russian. The article aroused great
interest among those present. One Friend commented that she
had long wanted to hear about Quaker theology. although what
she learned from the article ran counter to her own views as a
Russian Orthodox believer. Comments by many of the other
Friends. meanwhile. showed that they shared the author's views.
