Open letter to the head of the CEC from Irina Yasina Ella Pamfilova. Photo: RIA Novosti A couple of years ago, if I wrote you a congratulatory card for my birthday, I would definitely know how to contact you. Dear Ella. Or "Dear Ella Alexandrovna." This is if I had shook and decided that you were now a big boss and forgot my previous trusting relationship. Although, when we talked and almost friends, you have always been a great boss. However, there are enough preface. Ella!

Irina Yasina tells how to help those who are not helped by almost no one We help alive collect 10 319 255 R required 15 026 109 r The collection of funds is over Any practicing charity person knows that collecting money is easiest for children. No matter how cynically it sounds, it is even easier if the child has such a disease - for example, an operating heart disease - what the operation did, and everything has passed. And if the child is a lovely blue -eyed navel, then even easier.

Photo by ITAR-TASS The authorities are afraid of any manifestation of human independence Our government does not like non-profit organizations. Doesn't love her much and constantly torments her. Either it will pass a discriminatory law, or it will force them to report more than any other organizations, or it will order them to register as foreign agents. The reasons for the current government’s dislike for these very NGOs are quite clear to me.

Comment taken over the phone. “There is at least economic growth in the country, but we have an extremely uneven distribution of wealth due to corruption and lack of democracy. The opacity of social processes leads to the fact that social inequality is worsening. But the most important thing that I would like to note is that among this There is no list of many billionaires.

Interference in our internal affairs, which we must, like all incursions into sovereign territory, fight against? What kind of attempt is this to give “our answer to Chamberlain” in the form of “Dima Yakovlev’s list”?

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev feels good in his new position, but does not rule out running for president again, he said in an interview with French media. Answering questions from French journalists, Dmitry Medvedev said that he feels quite comfortable as head of government under the new president. “If there is a person with whom it is convenient to work, it is Vladimir Putin,” he said, according to Le Figaro .

What should ordinary citizens do in this situation? I once read the book “Kangaroo” by Yuz Aleshkovsky, which was banned in the USSR in those years.

My impressions of Kostroma are as if I had been there for a week. I don’t know which one is more: from the seminar or from the city. From the city because the excursion was personally led by Kolya Sorokin himself. From the seminar because there were such wonderful people there. The first meeting was a surprise for me. Yulia and Nikita Kustov were waiting for me near the hall.

I have known Dasha Miloslavskaya, the developer of the law on volunteerism that is at risk of causing a stir, from the time immemorial of early Open Russia. Smart and beautiful Dasha was constantly running around all our seminars. About 7 years ago, or even earlier, she complained that none of the NGOs was able to pay their volunteer assistants for tickets, lunch, or accommodation without it being considered imputed income to these people.

On the twelfth comment of the day about joining the WTO, I decided to write a post. If there is anything positive about United Russia, it is that it votes for these things. The opposition, thoroughly leftist and populist, votes against it. What's so scary about this WTO? Where did the myth come from that we will all almost die from the WTO? After all, the whole world plays on the field of trade according to WTO rules.

For me, the topic of trust has recently become the most important one. In the Krymsk story, the authorities can tell the truth as much as they want. Nobody believes them anyway. Cases when peaceful rivers, due to heavy rains in the mountains, turned into monsters destroying everything in their path are well known. The Arno River in Florence in 1966 caused such destruction that then half of Europe came to Italy to help clean the dirt from countless Florentine monuments.

I highly recommend watching the conversation between Sobchak and Dunya Smirnova that took place on Dozhd. It was a worthy rivalry. I liked Dunya first of all because she honestly said that she was not delighted with her former self. Oh, how often, more often than I would like, I have to tell myself the same thing.

A delightfully unsympathetic LDPR deputy named Mikhail Dyagterev introduced a bill stating that the state, in order to stimulate the birth rate, would pay one hundred thousand rubles to each mother who gave birth to her first child. Question: What motivates people to have their first child? Can one hundred thousand rubles play a significant role in the decision to have offspring? Please answer.
