Evening Medusa

10th of August. Day of news from the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All of them are not very

News

The dollar exchange rate exceeded 67 rubles (these are all sanctions). The CEC approved two more formulations of questions on the pension referendum (pot, don't boil it already!). The daughter of the deputy Slutsky found an elite mansion in the suburbs; she bought it when she worked as an assistant editor-in-chief of the glossy magazine Harper's Bazaar (oh, not all journalists have enough for mansions!). In Karelia, burned down the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in the 18th century, (very beautiful, terribly sorry). The European University at St. Petersburg got its license back (common sense won). In Belarus were released (hooray!). , all journalists detained in the case of “theft of news”

And the work of law enforcement agencies

FSIN. Employees of the colony in Yaroslavl, where Yevgeny Makarov was tortured, began to testify . It turns out that the head of the colony gave them the directive to “carry out educational work” with the prisoner, and the video recording of the torture was made specifically so that he could later verify the fulfillment of his order.

MIA. Center "E" once again distinguished itself by fighting extremists on the Internet - this time it happened in Stavropol. A local student was given three days of arrest for promoting Nazism because he reposted a report on the World War II museum in Gdansk on VKontakte. One of these photographs had a swastika on it.

SC. Today, Novaya Gazeta received a request from the Investigative Committee, in which the investigator asked for a characterization of the journalist Arkady Babchenko , who once worked for the publication. It is needed as part of the investigation of the criminal case that the Investigative Committee opened on the fact of the murder of Babchenko in Kyiv. For some reason, the insignificant fact that Babchenko was alive and that the “murder” was an operation of the Ukrainian special services, which turned out the next day after the crime, did not interest the investigators. Well, they are professionals, they know better.

The weekend is coming: here's how to have fun

• Feel like a Facebook moderator. Well, or VKontakte. Let's see if you remove the bare chest or the swastika.
• Read about Red Dead Redemption II - a game about the Wild West from the authors of GTA. Perhaps the main game of the near future.
• And most importantly: go to nature. And better at sea.

We are to rest. Grisha Levchenko, Sasha Polivanov
