Ksenia Sobchak finally officially announced the participation in the 2018 presidential election. In the first agitation materials, she calls herself a "candidate against all." But someone’s help to the candidate will still need: the budget of her campaign can be up to 1 billion rubles, and for registration she will need to collect 300 thousand signatures. Sobchak can not do without the help of the Kremlin, and she will have this help, the sources of The Bell are sure.

• “Do you have your candidate? Mark Sobchak. You do not choose her for president. You just get a legal and peaceful opportunity to say “Enough! Got it! ”, The Sobchak’s letter in the newspaper Vedomosti says, in which she announced participation in the elections. If the policy of Alexei Navalny is allowed to the polls, she will withdraw her candidacy in his favor, Sobchak said later on the air of the rain.
• To register in the election by a self -nominated, Sobchak will need to collect 300 thousand signatures in at least 40 regions of Russia. The total budget of the campaign Sobchak will be about 1 billion rubles, estimates a source close to its future campaign headquarters.
• Where will Sobchak find this money? On her pre -election site, she writes that she will form “Fandraise teams”, but on the air of “Rain” the candidate said that “talking with a large number of businessmen”, and there are already people who are ready to “give initial financing”. Familiar Sobchak says that she could seek help from Mikhail Prokhorov and Mikhail Friedman, but the sources in their environment categorically deny this.
• Electoral funds of candidates that the Kremlin support are formed mainly at the expense of large businesses - this resource is used by the Presidential Administration, they say one of the major businessmen familiar with Sobchak and a source close to the government. This is confirmed by the Kremlin political scientist, who participated in the preparation of election campaigns.
• At the end of last week, Sobchak met with Vladimir Putin and informed him of her decision. “I did not feel that he liked what I said,” the TV presenter said on the air of Rain.
• Nevertheless, the presidential administration supports the nomination of Sobchak, which means that there will be no problems with money, a large businessman and a source close to the government are confident with it.

What am I to me?

It seems that Sobchak is the first real candidate who announced his nomination and has every chance to take part in the elections. So the election campaign of next year can be considered the starting. The nomination of Sobchak is considered in the Kremlin as an option to increase the interest of citizens in the campaign, in September the interlocutor of the BBC, close to the presidential administration, said . It is not the fact that it will be something more interesting in it, so we understand in detail that it moves the candidate “against all”. Here, for example, we analyzed whether Sobchak could earn money in the elections, and here - we compared it in popularity with Navalny.

MONEY

Where will Hyperloop bring

The owner of the Amus group Ziyavudin Magomedov sells assets in Russia and invests in technological companies abroad. Now his main hobby is the Hypeloop vacuum transport system. This week, Magomedov headed the board of directors of Hyperloop One and announced that Richard Branson would be his partner and Sosawits. In an interview with RBC, Magomedov told why Hyperloop will not appear in Russia soon, and where it can still be built.

People do not carry money to banks

Citizens stopped carrying money to banks: the flow of funds for deposits in 2017 became record-low-only 2.5%, said the chairman of the Board of VTB-24 (and in the near future-the head of the reorganized Binbank and “Discovery”) Mikhail Zadornov. People do not see meaning in bank contributions: bets on them are reduced, and the risks of the Russian banking system are visible from news about the reviews of licenses and sanats.

Soros gave everything to charity

Billionaire George Soros gave most of his fortune - $ 18 billion out of 20 - his Open Society fund. As a result, the Soros Foundation was the second largest charity organization in the United States after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Since the foundation, the main goal of “open society” was the development of democracy in post -communist countries, now it also has been engaged in the help of refugees and public healthcare.

In the 1990s, the fund was one of the largest philanthropists in Russia, but the new money of Soros will not come to us: “Open Society” was recognized as an undesirable organization in Russia-this means that it actually cannot work in the country.

PRACTICE

Whom robots will be replaced in banks

The fact that one of the first places where robots will replace people will be banks will not be news for a long time: Herman Gref has already reduced living lawyers and credit consultants. But not such simple specialties will be under the blow. Bloomberg made a special project about who in large banks should prepare for the search for a new specialty in the coming years - and what will be replaced.

Internet of things under threat

The vulnerability found by Belgian programmers in the WPA-2 protocol, used in most Wi-Fi-currents, first caused panic, and then a wave of explanations of cybersecurity specialists: no need to panic, and without it the traffic encryption, and the largest platforms have already released updates. Wired explains : nothing terrible will happen to computers and smartphones. But on the Internet of things, everything is much worse: no one will produce new firmware for refrigerators with Wi-Fi or, for example, surveillance cameras. This means that vulnerable smart objects will surround us for the next 20 years.

Amazon penetrates the entrances

Jeff Bezos is getting closer to his customers. Amazon agreed with homeowners and the Criminal Code, managing more than 850 thousand apartments in the United States, about installing smart cabinets for parcels in the entrances that will store, sort and issue not only Amazon purchases, but also all other parcels receive residents. At the expense of the project, Amazon will receive not only control over access to the buyer, but also money-for each cabinet, the owners of the building, for whom the processing of parcels is a serious difficulty, will pay $ 10-20 thousand.

Fun

Surprisingly, in the rapidly growing American market of legal marijuana there are also racial and gender stereotypes: in the state of Colorado, who legalized light drugs one of the first, only one black woman-owner of a trading point with cannabis. Fastcompany tells her story.
