Abstract
The question whether the terrorist attacks of 9/11 had any impact on human rights policies in the Russian Federation reminds me of an anecdote in which representatives of three different European nations were asked to write a book about the elephant.’ Predictably for this kind of an anecdote, the French representative wrote her book about the love life of the elephant. The German titled her heavy volume “Introduction to the Metaphysics of Elephants. Part I”. Finally, the Finn came up with the volume “What does the elephant think about us Finns?”
