In the Western press, this expression is understood a little different. Let's do, the US Ministry of Justice, according to Wall Street Journal, identified six Russian officials responsible for the hacking of the servers of the Democratic Party . The names of Putin’s team members are not yet called so as not to interfere with the investigation of Russia's intervention into the electoral process, which is conducted by the special prosecutor Müller. The court left the accused as part of this investigation of Manafort and Gates under house arrest. Google News, without waiting for the further, stopped issuing notes of the so -called federal news agency created on the basis of the St. Petersburg “Troll factory” . Here are examples of other works of the factory published on Facebook.

Russian politician Alexei Navalny, by the expression “Putin’s team” also understands his own. His supporters were not agreed upon by rallies in Tomsk and Krasnoyarsk , in Tambov two headquarters were put for 20 and 25 days, a certain Mikhail Kostenko filed a lawsuit against the head of the Federal Staff: he demands to return a donation to the campaign. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, however, says that it is not them: “not our prerogative.”

What Putin himself understands by his team, it is easy to understand by the example of his cousin Mikhail Shelomov: the company belonging to Shelomov, according to rain, bring him 5.5 million rubles a day. In addition, according to the “rain”, Shelomov belongs to the villa in Sochi (in the sanatorium of the Presidential Administration) - and he works in “Sovcomflot” for about 40 thousand rubles a month. Such a team.

Now about the funeral team. Immediately three heavyweights of Russian politics - Ramzan Kadyrov, Ksenia Sobchak and Natalya Poklonskaya - called for burying what was left of Lenin . At the same time, Kadyrov added that this is only an opinion, and Putin should resolve this issue, of course. Peskov about prerogatives has not yet been spoke.

The court in Madrid arrested eight members of the Catalonia government removed from the authorities. The former head of this government Carles Puchdemon and four more ministers did not go to the capital of Spain - they remained in Brussels. The Spanish prosecutor's office asks them to detain them, and Puchdemon requires the release of the already detainees.

A native of Uzbekistan Saifullo Saipov, who was charged with the murder of eight people in New York and financing terrorism, feels great after the operation, does not repent of his deed and asks to hang in the ward where he lies, the IS flag. US President Donald Trump, who previously wanted to send Saipov to Guantanamo, now requires his death penalty.

About culture.

• The CIA published various documents found in the shelter of the bin of Bin Laden in Pakistan after his murder, including a list of films in his collection. There are mainly cartoons about animals: “Do not hit the hoof”, “Antz ant”, “Ice period-3”. But there are also documentaries about the search for bin Laden, everything is American.
• The director Kirill Serebrennikov, who was under house arrest, received two nomination for the main Russian theater prize of the Golden Mask. The investigation in his case actively interrogates the employees of the Ministry of Culture.
• Quentin Tarantino decided not to cooperate with The Weinstein Company anymore. (Not about culture, but on the topic of sexual harassment : the 41-year-old Gavin Williamson was appointed to the place of the UK Minister of Defense, Sir Michael Fallon, who helped Teresa May very much helped the conservative party. Williamson is famous for going to parliament with a manual tarantula nicknamed Kronos).
