Today turned out to be a kind of immersion in the problems of elections - the Republican Party held a training on election technologies in Barnaul, which was attended by representatives of four Siberian regions. The training was conducted quite professionally by the general director of the PR-3000 company, Stanislav Radkevich (Moscow).
Although I myself studied many times and taught myself, perhaps my Moscow colleague conducted it very meaningfully and completely.
However, the result of the day for me revolved around the name Sergei Mikhailov.
I have known Sergei for a long time and have even collaborated and are collaborating. but it turned out that he had brought the next issue of his newspaper "LEAF". So the newspaper amazed me - the circulation is 17 thousand, the newspaper is self-sustaining, 48 A3 pages. And this is in a Republic where there are only about 200 thousand people.
The content of the newspaper includes the entire range of readers' requests - there are the realities of gangster power and the affairs of power and the lives of people, and even two inserts - "Novaya Gazeta" and the newspaper of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
I opened the newspaper at home in the evening and suddenly, on Ekho Moskvy, Larisa Latynina recounts the contents of an editorial from the latest Listok, citing the author.
I read it and was somehow glad that the Republic was lucky to have such a person there who essentially sets the tone in the region. And the Republic is unique not only because it is national, but because it is a unique corner of nature, which has actually already been divided, but not by local residents. And the residents themselves essentially found themselves on the other side of the fence (meaning that rich estates of representatives of the Russian power elite appeared there; just remember such an object, which was popularly called “Putin’s Dacha”). So the owners of these estates have fenced themselves off, and ordinary residents don’t even have enough space to graze their livestock. And given the sparse population and remoteness of the Republic, the arbitrariness of local officials and law enforcement officers flourishes in it. So Latynina spoke about the real events described in the last issue of Leaflet, when the local head of the Investigative Committee was God, the Tsar, and the Military Chief. But essentially TSAPOK.
