February 20. Children were raped in a boarding school near Chelyabinsk

Yesterday it became known that in one of the boarding schools of the Chelyabinsk region, with the participation of its employees, children were subjected to sexual violence - three foster families who took the children from the boarding school told about this.

One of the alleged criminals is arrested, but the fate of the investigation is unclear: according to the sources of Medusa, the evidence in the case may not be enough for the charges of employees. Reception parents talked about threats by the Commissioner for the Rights of the Child in the region. Evgeny Berg wrote in detail about the case.

Doping at the Russian athlete in Pyeongchang

Today they confirmed the presence of meldonium in the doping-tests of the Russian Keringsist Alexander Krushelnitsky, who won bronze in Pyeongchang. The story is strange: the Russian delegation said that, judging by the results of the analysis, the athlete accepted Meldonium only once.

Krushelnitsky apologized to the fans and partners on the team, while assuring that he had never used forbidden drugs. The Russian Curling Federation suggested that Meldonius was thrown into his food, and asked the organizers of the games to submit records from video surveillance cameras in the Olympic village. They want to connect the Investigative Committee to the investigation.

"Not the case of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

The Foreign Ministry admitted that dozens of people from Russia and the CIS were injured in a “recent military clash” in Syria and are now in Russian hospitals. Probably, the “recent clash” means a aircraft, which the international coalition led by the United States inflicted on the armed supporters of Bashar al -Assad on February 7. All comments of the Foreign Ministry - in one picture:

In recent days, several campaign clips have appeared in Russian social networks calling to go to the polls. The roller with Sergey Burunov turned out to be most popular, in which the hero at first does not want to go to the polls, but then he sees a dream: with the new government, 52-year-old, they try to drank into the army, and at home he settled “gay on overexposure”. Taisiya Bekbulatova figured out who makes these videos and at whose expense.

• The promoter Casbolat Baikulov served four years for drug storage. All this time he led Twitter, who became popular, and also managed to release a collection of T -shirts. We interviewed him.
• In Pyeongchang, the skier Elizabeth Swayini from the United States took part in Freestyle competitions and did not show a single trick (although it should!). It turned out that she was not very good at all, but thanks to the features of the selection system, she was able to appear for games from Hungary. Now everyone is discussing whether she is well done or not.
• At Sumatra, the Sinabung volcano threw a column of ash seven kilometers high. It looks impressive - we collected the best photos and videos .
