About the ambulance on Red Square and "Life after Putin"
Last night, the network flew out reports about an unusual incident on Red Square. From the square, everyone who was on it was evacuated, and for a long time they did not let passers through it.
They write that people are evacuated from Red Square and there is supposedly the threat of an explosion. Is there anyone nearby?
- Mosland 2.0 (@moslenta2_0) January 26, 2016Here's what the Vedomosti said :
The reason for the restrictive measures of the police called the "conducting special material perception", but refused to explain its essence and reason. Another police officer explained the restriction of "technical reasons."
All the passages to the square are limited by the metal frames, next to which the police are on duty, people are offered to look for ways of bypass.
The Vedomosti correspondent noticed at least one ambulance carriage between the GUM building and the Cathedral of Blessed Vasily.
Interfax reported that the area was closed due to too large in line on the skating rink. But the news that the ambulance was seen in the square, instantly gave rise to rumors of the predictable family:
Is Red Square closed? Everyone held their breath ..
- Irina Nasobina (@aliciamillor) January 26, 2016 The taxi driver said that Red Square was closed, and an ambulance came to the mausoleum. "Blue, long in trolleybus," said. But he abstained from estimates

Mosland correspondent Philip Kireev posted on Twitter a message about the mysterious “Inside”, after which he went to the square and became convinced that it was still blocked:
There is not yet confirmed information about the heart attack in Vladimir Putin. I can’t vouch for reliability. Inside.

Not everyone took Kireev’s message seriously:
@MYNAMEISPHILIPP if it comes true, you can poke a tweet everyone and shout how cool I am and I have an inside in the Kremlin, but no, well, so "not confirmed"

But the networks were immediately filled with jokes and assumptions:
The Virgin did not miss!
- Vsevolod Chaplin (@vsevolod_cha) January 26, 2016 Judging because the business jacks do not fly out in packs, the Virgin Mary missed again (
- Anatoly Protest (@a_kapustin) January 26, 2016The prime minister fiddled with a smartphone and giggled nervously.
- Well, what else is there? - the president asked without interest, looking at the prime minister with sincere pity.
- Imagine, on Twitter they think that you have a heart.
The president did not continue the conversation. The president was sad - he thought that foreign colleagues at least heard something about his trillion, and then - and called a secret billionaire. Absolutely unproven.
This is really a shame.
Putin lived. Putin is alive. Putin will live.
- The same Martin (@martin_camera) January 26, 2016 A critical situation has on Twitter, a stock of jokes about Putin's death is coming to an end.
- Naibolee Veroyatno (@mortis_banned) January 26, 2016Indeed, the majority of jokes about Putin’s death were already dashed last year, when he disappeared from sight for a long time.
Many considered another explanation of the evacuation of the public from Red Square more believable:
Another inside. The mausoleum was urgently released.
- Gray Cardinal (@Slevo4kin) January 26, 2016Look: if today Lenin is pulled out of the mausoleum, then Putin was accurately terribly gone from this film on the BBC, statements by the American Ministry of Finance and the report of the English judge.
Because we know their vile method: we need to interrupt the news more strong. Take attention to the side.
And what news from Russia can be stronger than buried Lenin? But from this gun you can shoot only once. So, we must protect such a shot for the most extreme case.
Well, where is he, this extreme?
However, the "special measure" could be a prose sense:
Every winter around this time, the carcass is taken away for annual maintenance for a month and a half. (Speaking in simple language - soaked in a preserving solution and sew a new suit). So Donat Put Your Hopes Up Too High, as they say.
But on Twitter the night of the living dead began:
Red Square in Moscow is blocked by the police, the employees of the rink and fairs were brought out for its limit to Lenin, the words of Putin reported and he raged?
- Revolutionary thoughts (@vvp2_0) January 26, 2016 1. Overlapping Red Square 2. Rings reanimobile, you say, Putin is dying, but what does Red Square have to do with it? I think Lenin is resurrected there
- Romandos Yarmysh (@romandos) January 26, 2016 Red Square now. The Operation "Catraining" ended and Lenin in power again! Shockfoto! pic.twitter.com/0xi8d093ns
- Anatoly Protest (@a_kapustin) January 26, 2016Lenin is revived to judge for the collapse of the USSR.
Enough to poison the soul with beautiful rumors about the removal of the carcass of Lenin.

Lev Schlosberg in the Pskov Province newspaper offers if Lenin from the Mausoleum does not take away, then at least carefully re -read it so as not to follow in his footsteps:
In Russian history, there is a magic of repeated numbers. A hundred years after 1917, the approximation of 2017 against the backdrop of an economic and social crisis gives rise to new temptations. The main of which is to solve the issue of power through violence. 1917 from this point of view was very productive: violence brought success. The taste of success was mixed with the smell of violence and became the smell of a new government. For more than 70 years. The cost of success was tens of millions of lives, including those who welcomed this success: civil war, collectivization, repression. The effect of the successful violence of the Bolsheviks over the country that arose in 1917 was exhausted in 1991. The power based on it has gone. But the temptation of successful violence remains. The tradition of successful violence was founded in our country by Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin).
<...>
Lenin's lesson has not been learned. The killer teacher still rests with honor in the main square of the Russian capital. He won. The country continues to follow in his footsteps, harvesting bloody sowing.
For a whole century after that, no one explained to the people that in 1917 a crime occurred, which deployed the whole country into a state dead end, the exit from which has not yet been found.
For 100 years, the Russian state has been illegal in any of its hypostasis: under it - neither Soviet nor modern Russian - there are no legitimate sources, roots, and will.
It depends on the understanding of this core problem whether Russia can not collapse in 2017 a century ago.
Rumors revived the discussion about how "life after Putin" might look like. "Mikhail Khodorkovsky published a note today called" We know exactly what to do later ":
In the end, they will leave. If we are lucky, they will leave without ruining the country. True, creating all the prerequisites for her collapse. And we will have to act very quickly.
Khodorkovsky suggests acting as follows: develop regions, attract investments in modern sectors of the economy, reform courts and parliament, reduce taxes of small and medium -sized businesses, eradicate corruption and guarantee the replacement of power.
Russia is coming to difficult times of the decomposition of a corrupt, aging government. They will have to be survived - either in the struggle, or retreating, or hiding their heads in the sand of internal emigration.
In the meantime, under the auspices of the "Open Russia" Khodorkovsky, the educational online project " Open University " started. Here is what the author of the first published course "Culture as a Policy" Yuri Saprykin writes about him:
Ladies and gentlemen, dear guys and dear comrades, adults, we proudly present a new educational online project “Open University”-a platform for lectures and materials about post-Soviet history, which we survived it and partly continue to worry. Everything starts with a large multi -part course “Culture as a Politics” - about the adventures of mass culture after the collapse of the USSR, about the emergence and destruction of the institutions associated with it, about how the moods and moral guidelines changed. This is what happens in this course. Firstly, several small lectures that I read: about the path from Lenin-Grib to the monument to Prince Vladimir, about the transformations of the media-from the newspaper “Today” to the newspaper “Tomorrow”, about the evolution of the hero-from the bandit to the guard, about the opening of money and the invention of the past, and a lot more. Secondly, performances, interviews, comments and individual lectures of special guests of the course: Leonid Parfenov, Grigory Revzin, Ilya Oskolkov-Tsentsiper, Alexander Baunov, Kirill Rogov, Sergey Kuznetsov, Nadya Tolokonnikova, Andrey, Andrey, Andrey, Andrey, Andrey, Andrey Erofeev, Alexey Levinson, Andrey Zorin, Gleb Morev, Evgeniya Shermeneva, Maxim Kovalsky, and if I am still not quite sure of the meaningfulness and usefulness of his part, then this is completely calm.
Anton Krasovsky format in which training was organized seemed not progressive enough:
So Khodorkovsky launched his educational project. It is assumed that all the same old people will be told about the new and completely new. Parfenov, Saprykin, Revzin, Tsenciper, Helman and so on. This is the first course of lectures - about media. As an educational scientific-popular cycle-quite. I personally listened with pleasure to Saprykina about magazines. The breakthrough is here - of course - there is no. But there is no fault of authors and ideologists in this - throughout the world, neither a new language nor technology has been found, how to make an online education academic and at the same time innovative and full -fledged. In all its diversity - from TED to Harvard Online Learning - this is still a muddy unsystematic set of manuals or video content created by middle -aged people who do not think about how they will look on the screen. Is it interesting, is it exciting whether it is really useful to anyone. Gref-remember-after all, not only on Russia ran into his previous performance, but also on this online education. And he is right - it is no different from the pedagogical institute. But here the pedagogical institute called the capital's tourists. Who sang old songs about the main thing. And about yourself.
Other critics note the visual similarity of the Open University with another educational network project - " Arzamas ":
With great interest, he looked at the first lecture by Saprykin at the Open University.
And all 15 minutes that the lecture lasted, the magazine "Big City" in the background did not give me rest. Well, he could not accidentally appear there?!
While I came up with the following explanation: this is so hello to File Dzyadko and Arzamas: Aege, old man, look, we took your lecture format, even musical interruptions are almost the same, operator work and graphics - like two drops of water, in general, hello to you!
They scold the project for the non -original name:
TU HUM IT MAYA CONSERN: Open University, which since 2015 has been making “paper” with the three largest St. Petersburg universities and the new stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater, is in no way connected with the new educational project of Khodorkovsky, which, by coincidence, is also called “Open University”.
I don’t know how to be upset or rejoice, but I'm afraid to avoid confusion.
However, judging by the post of Ekaterina Krongauz , now it’s not the time to seriously discuss whether the Khodorkovsky project can make a breakthrough in online education - for a start, it would be nice that people would not be afraid to register on the site under their own name:
I decided to see the lecture by Saprykin at the Open University of Khodorkovsky (the Big City magazine, lying on the table, should somehow shoot in a lecture), and in order to see it, you need to register through social networks, leave the name-familia and IMIL. In the light of searches and other things, it seems that the next will be the count: at what time SK is more convenient to look at you?
