Green Russia formed
In 1996 Aleksandr Nikitin, a former naval captain, was arrested and accused of treason after preparing a report with Norway's Bellona Foundation on nuclear dangers in Russia's northern submarine fleet. That's the post-Soviet Russian equivalent of working with both hands to disclose and derail the (LEU) reactor projects at Seabrook, New Hampshire, Diablo Canyon, California, and the (HEU and Pu) reactor projects at Rocky Flats, Colorado.
Russia's Supreme Court cleared him of all charges in 2000. Yesterday's gathering of Greens elected Aleksandr Nikitin and two others deputies, as well as Aleksei Yablokov, head of the Center for Russian Environmental Policy, as party leader, of "Union of Greens".
It is tbd, and there is, predictably, even in the former USSR, complications with "liberals", but an ecology defined, weapons-aware political party now exists in the former Union.
