Until November 13, the RT channel should register as a foreign agent in the United States. The Japanese NHK television company and the Chinese newspaper The China Daily - judging by their reports, this does not interfere with the same status. But RT editor -in -chief Margarita Simonyan is confident that American providers will refuse to broadcast the Russian state state and that he will have to publish the salaries of employees and their addresses (in reality there is no such requirement). In response to the registration of RT “foreign agent”, Russia threatens to hit not only on publications that are financed from the American budget , but also other foreign media, as well as on social networks.

On Sunday, our site will be a passage from the book of entrepreneur Peter Aven about Boris Berezovsky. Readers of the "Evening Medusa" may not wait for Sunday and read a piece from the book right here. We chose the passage where Peter Aven takes an interview from a close friend of Berezovsky Vladimir Voronov. He tells why the British judge did not believe Berezovsky at the trial with Roman Abramovich and decided that he was inventing evidence.
Aven: Why, nevertheless, the judge so atypically belittled him?
Voronov: I thought about it for a long time and I can try to formulate. Imagine: English ladies, Cambridge, many generations, 500 years old to cut the grass. She simply does not perceive this type - the type of nouveau riche. Fast money, not old money - new money. She did not understand about this privatization, but she understood that all this was done disgustingly, backstage, not according to the rules, not by the principles on which she was brought up.

Voronov: Yes, he says a little tongue twister, speaks in English decently, but, frankly, not for the trial. Of course, he had to speak Russian under the translation, but he refused, he chose this option. And he tells in his manner ... Somewhere he jumps, somewhere he is mistaken, because he does not remember the details. But he doesn’t remember for her - it means, most likely, he is deceiving ... And if he had yet built a harmonious system of argumentation - but this was not there either, because it would not be a manner of Bory, unfortunately. And yet, since he was a politician and considered himself a politician - “a politician in exile,” as one person said - he was often distracted from the topic and spoke about politics in Russia that, of course, she was deeply alien to the drum ... The judge all the time said: “Mr. Berezovsky, stop making political statements.” And this was part of him, for him it was very natural ...
Vladimir Tsybulsky. Good weekend!
