The verdict to the governor of Sakhalin

Former Governor of Sakhalin, 58-year-old Alexander Khoroshavin,sentenced to 13 years of strict regime for bribes. Together with him, three of his former subordinates were convicted, of which only one partially pleaded guilty and escaped with a fine.

Khoroshavin was detained three years ago, and at that time his business was the most high -profile investigation against the head of the Russian region (later the head of Komi Vyacheslav Gaiser and the Kirov Governor Nikita Belykh were arrested).

Opening of the Olympics

In Pyeongchang, the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics was held, in which athletes from 93 teams took part, including the Olympic athletes from Russia. This is how it looked:

Athletes came to the Olympics not only from the northern countries, but also from warm edges, where there are no conditions for winter sports. We decided to talk about some of them.

The Russians went to the ceremony under the flag of the Olympic movement, since they were banned to speak under the Russian tricolor. The Olympic flag has a long history - it was used, in particular, at the Olympics in Moscow in 1980. Watch ourvideo disclosure .

Before the opening of the games, the sports arbitration court rejected the appeal of 47 Russians who were not allowed to the Olympics, despite the lack of evidence of doping violations; Among them there were many leaders of the Russian team. According to the sports lawyer Artem Patsev, this decision is contrary to the practice of the court and may well be considered discriminatory:

“It looks that they secretly introduced some degrees of purity of athletes. Judging by the public comments, there are just athletes, but there are pure athletes from Russia, not very clean and those who are not cleaner and does not happen. ”
