Investigations based on the “Archive of the Paradise Islands” have been published - this is the name given to millions of documents from two companies involved in registering businesses in offshore companies. This is the largest offshore data leak since the Panama Files . Thanks to these documents, journalists found out that:
In Moscow and St. Petersburg, they began to arrest those detained on the day of the “November 5 revolution,” appointed by oppositionist Vyacheslav Maltsev. Five people were arrested in St. Petersburg, and 11 people received 15 days in prison in Moscow . Some of them were indeed supporters of Maltsev, others were not. Those detained on November 5 also continue to be summoned for questioning in a criminal case of terrorism, even if they have nothing to do with Maltsev.
Kadyrov had a fight with Zyuganov over Lenin. The head of Chechnya proposed burying the body of Vladimir Lenin; Zyuganov responded by calling on Kadyrov to respect traditions. Then Kadyrov found signs of “senile dementia” in the communist and recommended an apology. It would seem, what does Sobchak have to do with it?
Today is the centenary of the October Revolution, which brought the Bolsheviks to power. For the last two days, we have been covering online the events in Petrograd that were taking place at that time in 1917 (by the way, shortly after the dispatch of the Evening Medusa, the Aurora will fire a salvo). On the occasion of the centenary of the revolution, it is also worth checking how well you know the history of the CPSU , as well as picking up the perfect book about the October Revolution .
Hip-hop has finally become the main musical direction: with a difference of one day, the antipodes Timati and Oksimiron gathered the Olimpiysky, the main concert venue of the country. Alexander Gorbachev visited both events and compared the shows, visitors and performers .
Timati gave his show on National Unity Day, an artificial holiday invented during the time of Vladimir Putin; Oksimiron played on the eve of the centenary of the revolution. Timati successfully introduces rap into the official stage and invites Kirkorov and Leps to his concert - Oksimiron shuns contacts with the “system” and proclaims the triumph of self-propelled guns. Timati is ostentatiously friendly with his state - Oksimiron ignores him at best.
