FORMER SENATOR CHARGED WITH COMMISSIONING CONTRACT KILLING. The Russian Prosecutor-General's Office on April 27 formally
charged Igor Izmestyev with ordering the contract killing of Mikhail Orlov, the head of a finance company that owed Izmestyev's
own company a large sum of money, the daily "Kommersant" reported on April 28. The assassination bid last August failed, however.
Izmestyev, who used to represent Bashkortostan on the Federation Council, was taken into custody by FSB officers while on
a private visit to Kyrgyzstan and brought back to Moscow, where he is being held in Lefortovo prison (see "RFE/RL Newsline,"
January 18, 2007). RFE/RL Newline, April 30, 2007

German Arngold, the honorable chairman of Bashkortotan's
Union of Germans, said that a full and true
rehabilitation of Russian Germans still "remains on
paper," Bashinform reported on 18 October. He said that
half of all Russia's Germans and one-third of those
Germans residing in Bashkortostan have emigrated in the
past decade. But the agency noted that the republic has
taken measures to help them preserve their ethnic
identity. Some 1,000 German students now attend secondary
school in Bashkortostan. The republic has 12 German
classes and two German Sunday schools, as well as 11
cultural centers and nine libraries. RFE/RL Tatar-Bashkir Report 21.10.01
