美国国家公共电台 NPR 俄罗斯远东地区爆发抗议 普京面临挑战(在线收听

Seven time zones away from Moscow in Russia's Far East, huge crowds have been protesting the arrest of their governor. As NPR's Lucian Kim reports from Moscow, the surprising demonstrations represent an unexpected challenge to President Vladimir Putin.

在与莫斯科相隔7个时区的俄罗斯远东地区,大批人群因他们的州长被捕而举行抗议。据NPR新闻的卢西安·金从莫斯科带来的报道,这一出人意料的示威活动对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京构成了意想不到的挑战。

LUCIAN KIM, BYLINE: On Monday, President Putin held an urgent video conference with a little-known politician named Mikhail Degtyaryov.

卢西安·金连线:周一,普京总统与鲜为人知的政治家米哈伊尔·杰格加廖夫举行了紧急视频会议。

PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN: (Speaking Russian).

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京:(用俄语讲话)。

KIM: "There's a very important job for you," Putin said on state TV. "I want you to run Khabarovsk region."

金:普京在国家电视台上表示,“有一份非常重要的工作需要你来做。我希望你管理哈巴罗夫斯克地区。”

MIKHAIL DEGTYARYOV: (Speaking Russian).

杰格加廖夫:(用俄语讲话)。

KIM: "I'm ready," Degtyaryov said and got straight on a plane for the almost 8-hour flight from Moscow. Khabarovsk Region, which borders China, had been without a leader for more than a week after masked law enforcement officers arrested the popular governor, flew him to Moscow and charged him with organizing contract killings 15 years ago. Another offense may have been that he beat the Kremlin's candidate for governor in a landslide two years ago. Spontaneous protests in support of the governor erupted in the capital, Khabarovsk, bringing tens of thousands of people into the streets. When Putin's appointee arrived, they turned their anger on him.

金:杰格加廖夫表示,“我准备好了”,然后直接坐上飞机飞往距离莫斯科8个小时航程的哈巴罗夫斯克。该地区与中国接壤,已经有超过一周的时间无人领导,因为蒙面执法人员逮捕了该地区备受欢迎的州长,用飞机将他押送到莫斯科,指控他在15年前策划雇凶杀人案。另一项罪行可能是他在两年前以压倒性优势击败了克里姆林宫支持的候选人。首府哈巴罗夫斯克爆发了支持这位州长的自发性抗议,数万名民众走上街头。当普京任命的新州长抵达时,他们将怒火转向了他。

KIM: "Degtyaryov, go away," protesters chanted on his first night in Khabarovsk. The new governor responded by streaming his walk to work the next morning on Instagram.

金:“杰格加廖夫,走开”,他在哈巴罗夫斯克的第一晚就在这种喊声中度过。新任州长第二天早上在Instagram上发布了他步行上班的视频,以此来回应抗议者。

DEGTYARYOV: (Speaking Russian).

杰格加廖夫:(用俄语讲话)。

KIM: "I won't leave," he said, "because there's a lot of work to be done as ordered by the president."

金:他说,“我不会离开。因为依据总统的命令,有很多工作要做。”

ARTYOM MOZGOV: (Speaking Russian).

阿提乔姆·莫兹戈夫:(用俄语讲话)。

KIM: Protesters' demands have become more radical, says Artyom Mozgov, a political activist in Khabarovsk — first against meddling by Moscow, then in support of the arrested governor and now against Putin.

金:哈巴罗夫斯克地区的政治活动人士阿提乔姆·莫兹戈夫表示,抗议者的要求变得更加激进,抗议者先是反对政府的干预,然后支持被捕的州长,现在已经演变为反对普京。

MOZGOV: (Speaking Russian).

莫兹戈夫:(用俄语讲话)。

KIM: "Even more people will turn out than on the past two weekends," Mozgov says, "and will demand their new leader come out and talk to them." But Putin's governor has already said he has better things to do than meet with those who shout below his window. Lucian Kim, NPR News, Moscow.

金:莫兹戈夫表示,“抗议人数会比过去两个周末更多,抗议者将要求新任州长出面和他们交谈。”但普京任命的州长已经表示,相比和那些在他窗下大喊的人见面,他有更好的事情要做。NPR新闻,卢西安·金莫斯科报道。
