MOSCOW Tim Hardaway Jr. Womens Jersey , May 5 (Xinhua) -- The Russian Foreign Ministry published Monday a report on human rights violations in Ukraine, mainly targeting Kiev authorities and the West.
The 81-page report, available on the ministry's website, comprises "numerous facts" of human rights abuses and violations in Ukraine from the end of November, 2013 to the end of March, 2014.
"The present list of the most flagrant violations of fundamental international norms of human rights and the rule of law committed ... gives enough grounds to claim that such violations were widespread," said the White Book.
The report accused Kiev authorities of "forceful seizure of power Enes Kanter Womens Jersey , anti-constitutional coup, destruction of legitimate power structures ... xenophobia, blatant blackmail, repressions, physical abuse of political opponents."
It said the essential task of the report was to focus on facts to which the international community and key international human rights bodies, as well as relevant non-governmental organizations, "have not shown proper and impartial attention."
Moscow also presented a timeline of points when U.S. and European politicians "interfered" in the internal affairs of the country Patrick Ewing Womens Jersey , displaying dozens of relative pictures.
Noting the alleged violations that have been committed so far "remain unpunished," Russia expressed the hope that relevant international organizations would recognize the critical situation.
Otherwise, it would pose a serious threat to "regional peace and security and lead to further escalation of international and inter-ethnic contradictions and conflicts," the report said.
On Sunday, Russia urged the Organization for Security and Cooperation of Europe and the Council of Europe to immediately evaluate the situation in Ukraine in an objective manner.
Ukraine launched a major attack against pro-Russian forces around the eastern city of Slaviansk Friday. On the same day, at least 46 people were killed and over 170 others injured in clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters in the Black Sea city of Odessa.

XI'AN, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Crowded subways and stuffy dust masks that characterize urban life in China are driving those who value quality of life over consumerism away from the cities and into mountain refugia.
Zhang Jianfeng Carmelo Anthony Womens Jersey , 37, is among them. Once a book editor with an enviable job in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Zhang quit his job six years ago to seek out hermits in the Zhongnan mountains, a fabled hideaway for recluses.
Zhang's interest in the reclusive life was fuelled by the book "Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits", written by American Red Pine.
"I was tired of wasting all my spare time and energy hobnobbing with various cliques. The book showed me that I could escape the urban hassles and seek inner peace in nature," he said.
Unlike most urbanites Authentic Kristaps Porzingis Jersey , Zhang's home was filled with Chinese curios - musical instruments, a straw rain cape, an iron kettle - harking back to a bygone era. The tranquility at home stood in stark contrast to the insanity beyond his walls.
A freelancer now, Zhang spends most of his time in a cottage hidden away in the Zhongnan mountains, and has gradually made the acquaintance of some "real" hermits.
These hermits tend to lead very simple lives in caves, shacks they built themselves or abandoned cottages. They get up at sunrise and sit in meditation. They drink tea, take a nap Authentic Tim Hardaway Jr. Jersey , read books, go for a stroll: Such is hermitship.
"Householder Buhuan", 65, is one of Zhang's new friends. The former factory worker gave himself a new name which means "never going back" in 2007 when he took up Buddhism.
Buhuan lives among the clouds in a rented farmhouse deep in the mountains. The owners went to the city during a campaign to return farmland to forest.
"They left to enjoy urban life, and I came to find peace," he said. Buhuan spends three or four days each month at his old home in the city. "My parents, wife and kids do not try to stop me because they know I will stick to my decision Authentic Enes Kanter Jersey , no matter what."
But living in the mountains is not the romantic idyll many imagine. The recluses spend most of their energy just trying to feed themselves. Buhuan relies on a 1,600 yuan (about 260 U.S. dollars) pension to pay the rent, buy grain and pay for electricity in his hovel. "Compared with big cities, costs in the mountains are very low," he said.
Economic growth has given many people things they did not have before, but, according to Zhang Authentic Patrick Ewing Jersey , something has also been lost: inner peace. House prices, congestion, water and air pollution are the engines which drive the desire to forsake dystopian cities.
"They could be reintegrated into nature, find the lost 'something' and forget all their troubles," Zhang opines fancifully.
Zhang and associates have built more than 20 thatched houses with their own money in the mountains. Few, however, lead genuinely anchoritic lives. Mostly they are no more than disenchanted Authentic Carmelo Anthony Jersey , disingenuous urbanites like himself, fed up with heavy workloads and stressful lives and with aspirations to "return" to "nature". Thousands now lead reclusive lives in Zhongnan, many of whom come on the spur of the moment and depart just as hastily; but a few choose to stay.
"They come from all walks of life: teachers, doctors, business folk and government officials. They leave everything behind and adopt new, rustic habits," he said.
As their numbers grow Kristaps Porzingis Jersey , so do Zhang's concerns. "You see the garbage scattered everywhere and dirty river? They disrupt the lives of real hermits who have to retreat even deeper into the mountains."
"Every year, urbanization takes millions of people from the countryside to the cities, but on those same clogged roads, you can now find people heading back to nature for spiritual peace,"
