Putin says

In the Tassovsky web series “20 questions”, Vladimir Putin reached the economy. The President of Russia explained what the middle class is, and attributed to it everyone who receives more than 17 thousand rubles a month, that is, 70% of the population of Russia. At the same time, he incorrectly called the minimum wage in Russia and referred to the calculation methodology , which no one uses. Here, the regionalist Natalya Zubarevich explains why it is especially difficult to determine the middle class in Russia.

Meanwhile, in the world markets - another collapse , oil fell to $ 25 per barrel, the ruble fell to 80 per dollar. All this happens under the pressure of coronavirus pandemic.

She begins to affect the “popular approval” of the zeroing of the Putin's terms: speaking at solemn events on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the Russian annexation of Crimea, he allowed “voting at home”. From posters on voting under the constitution, the date was removed on April 22.

Coronavirus: Russia and the surroundings

Another 33 COVID-19 cases are registered in Russia per day, now the number of patients is 147 people. New cases are recorded in Kazakhstan (already 35), in Kyrgyzstan, where there are only three cases so far, the authorities plan to introduce an emergency regime ( here are the depressing photos of the hospital in Osh, where the quarantine returned from Saudi Arabia).

In Kiev, where tough measures were introduced and the metro was stopped, a transport collapse occurred . Economic is still coming - here the former Minister of Economy of Ukraine Timofey Milovanov discusses him about him.

In Russia, all schools at the end of the week go on vacation until April 12, dates in pre -trial detention centers and colonies are prohibited , legal proceedings are suspended . In Moscow, people over 60 are advised not to use public transport, the rule “more than 50 is not to gather” in St. Petersburg. In Moscow, patients Covid-19 are fed by a company associated with Putin's cook Evgeny Prigozhin. In the Russian capital, synagogues closed . The Lenin mausoleum is also closed - “in connection with the production of preventive work”.

"The most serious one since the time of the war"

The number of COVID-19 cases around the world exceeded 200 thousand people, the number of the dead grew over eight thousand. In China, the epidemic is declining, the largest increase in the number of infected are observed in Italy, Spain, Germany, Iran and the USA.

In Italy, 475 people died per day, the total number of dead approaches three thousand, almost 34 thousand people are sick.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the first time during her stay in power made an emergency appeal to citizens. She called the epidemic the most serious challenge since the Second World War and called on citizens to responsible behavior. In Germany, more than 10 thousand patients, 30 people became victims of the epidemic.

In connection with the epidemic, the Eurovision Contest was canceled , which was supposed to be held in Rotterdam. In the Netherlands, Covid-19 was diagnosed in 2056 residents, 58 people died. The Minister of Health of the Netherlands fainted during the discussion of the epidemic in parliament.

Doctors are now more difficult than health ministers - this is a selection of their monologues.

The European Service of Foreign Polish Activities (EEAS), which combines the functions of the foreign policy in the EU and implements a general security and defense policy, writes in its report that the pro -Kremlin accounts on social networks and the Russian pro -Kremlin media are conducting a “DEMILE” campaign in several languages of the EU countries and try to “doubt doubt, panic and fear” and undermine society’s confidence in society and to undermine society of society. healthcare systems of the EU countries.

The United States and Canada closed the common border, Trump signs laws that allow mobilizing the economy to combat the epidemic.

• Memory of Eduard Limonov. There are a lot of necrologues, here are three very different ones: Boris Kupriyanova - with an analysis of different larvae of Limonov, Yana Levchenko - about the meaning of eternal scandalization and Maxim Semelik - that lemonic characters, if you read, are not very different from the Shukshinsky. And there is even a whole podcast about Limonov.
• Sociology and political philosophy. An excerpt from the book of Grigory Yudin “Public Opinion, or the power of numbers” (Publishing House of EUs of St. Petersburg) on what a representative sample is. Or the early essay of Karl Polanya “The Politics of Faith and the Politics of Consistence” - about the need for a radical change in relations between society and the market.
