Main

The Basmanny Court of Moscow left in jail the former general director of Gogol-Center Alexei Malobrodsky, although the Investigative Committee asked him to be transferred under house arrest.

At night, Roskomnadzor introduced into the register of prohibited sites individual IP addresses Yandex, VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. The address from the registry was soon removed, explaining the incident with the "technological features of the system." The largest Internet companies in Russia, which have still almost not commented on mass blocks, have criticized the department .

How extremism experts work

In Russia, more and more things are initiated about extremism - and most often on the basis of records in social networks. One of the institutions where examinations are conducted in such cases is the Moscow Research Center. Our correspondent Irina Kravtsova tried to find out from the head of the department of linguistic examinations Igor Okorekova, as experts define extremism, but did not receive a clear answer :

- Or maybe a person write on his page that takes a position that is different from the position of the state, urging him to support him?

- When analyzing the statement, many factors are taken into account. For example, where your statement is placed-in public space, media or somewhere else. If you do not want attention, do not write too much. Especially on social networks. You must think not only about what you invest in your statement, but also about how it will be perceived. It’s one thing, you said something at home in the kitchen about something, and another thing, if you posted it.

- So where is the border of the permitted?

- A person must understand what he does on the Internet, for which he enters there. I can’t indicate the border of the permitted.

Moscow airports were banned from sitting on the floor

Mosobladum allowed to be fined for violation of new rules of conduct at Moscow airports (all except Vnukovo).

The Special Corps of Medusa Sasha Sulim asked the head of the transport committee Oleg Grigoryev about the meaning of these prohibitions.

- I cannot comment on you, because I did not participate in the development of these rules, there was no law enforcement on them. <...> When the period of law enforcement comes, then the first echoes will appear in social networks that someone was punished for one or another non-compliance with the rules. Perhaps the one who violates will find out about this when it violates. Well, those who read about the rules in advance will follow them.
