Vyacheslav Lysakov,the leader of the movement of motorists “Freedom of choice”,about why OMON disperses the shares of motorists against the arbitrariness of the police on the roads:“I somehow had imprudence at the first meeting in the presidential administration to say that pensioners can be dispersed with batons, and a herd of 500 thousand cars can not be stopped by the rocker. This, apparently, impressed the responsible comrades, and now a lot of special equipment comes to any of our shares, buses with riot police come ... The traffic police worked out different methods against us, up to the point that they turned off traffic lights and let cadets before us. ”
Leopold Lobkovsky,Deputy Director of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences,about disputes for the Arctic:“What can be said about the substance from the surface of the bottom at a depth of 10 kilometers? We can’t say anything, because Lomonosov’s ridge as a structure formed tens of millions of years ago, and its depth and its volumes are tens of kilometers. And we take the soil sample on the surface, whose age is only a thousand years old. And it was not necessary to do this with the help of the inhabited apparatus, it was possible to scoop up with a drama. ”
Alexander Khramchikhin,head of the analytical department of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis,about the idea of deputies of the Duma to create a military police in the army:“I do not exclude that under some circumstances it will reach the shooting between the army and the military police. In remote garrisons, I think this will take place. Although the military police are in most countries of the world. There the issue is somehow more or less solved; But there the army is arranged differently and, most importantly, control exists. We have no control over anything. ”
Yakov Cha,a participant in the Great Patriotic War,about pensions to veterans (from a letter to the forum Newtimes.ru):“Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the old memory, annually on the day of the Victory on May 9 sends all the disabled people and participants in the war living in the United States, cardiac promise letters. One of them, received by me in 2007, says: "We are in non -payment duty to you." Russian officials, apparently, do not agree with their president. When I turned to the Russian Consulate in Washington with a request to give me a certificate that I was alive, I was popularly explained that veteran benefits for Russians who have accepted American citizenship are not distributed. They advised to pay $ 50 for a certificate. And if I want to get a document that I constantly live in the USA, then if you please send a check for $ 100 to the consulate. Understand me correctly: I do not feel sorry for this money. The principle is important: Whether we are veterans or not? "
Inna Smbatyan(Nick Casualmente) , one of the two bloggers whom the CEC attracts to create a special informal site of the Central Election Commission: * “For some reason, many people think that we are introducing the CEC policy in LJ, block freedom in LJ. There will be no agitation, it is just our vision of the CEC from the inside. Why not show people what is happening there. Vladimir Evgenievich (Churov) is trying to open the activities of the CEC. After all, young people are not interested in this. The issue of the presence of Churov himself on the site is discussed. He is very afraid of viruses, believes that if he enters the LiveJournal, he will pick up some viruses on his computer. It is unlikely that he will conduct his own blog, but I think it will be participating in discussions. ” *
Andrei Zubov,the director of the Center “Church and International Relations” by MGIMO, is about the “Russian doctrine” of the Russian Orthodox Church:“The Gospel principle is that Christ did not come to determine political or economic forms, but in order to save a person. To save a person and open him the kingdom of heaven. And the task of the Church is to lead a person into the kingdom of heaven ... But the Church itself cannot offer social models, because a huge number of Christians, maybe not even the worst, will say to them: let him have mercy, but we think otherwise. All these issues are not related to faith. ”
