A copy of the analogue

Results of the week on Saturday issue 7:40

Good afternoon

Today, three years have been executed from the date of the sentence to the Crimeans Oleg Sentsov (20 years) and Alexander Kolchenko (10 years) - for terrorism and the organization of the sabotage group. Sentsov holds a hunger strike 104th day, and his salvation was gone in Russia-there are many prisoners in Russia.

• In connection with the publication of another video of the beating in the Yaroslavl colony, a new criminal case was instituted; After messages about torture in IK-37 in the Kemerovo region, another check was launched.
• Ukraine celebrated Independence Day by a military parade. Bolton invited Kyiv to think about other, non -Russian, energy supply routes.
• In Chechnya, young people are massively detained. Ramzan Kadyrov curses at human rights defenders. He forbade them to enter the republic.
• In Spain, they decided to take out the dictator Franco from the mausoleum and bury him.

"Lawyers found a formula"

Ukraine celebrated Independence Day with a military parade with aviation. Speaking at the celebrations in Kiev, President Petro Poroshenko said that he would seek to ensh the EU and NATO in the Constitution of Ukraine. "Lawyers found the formula how to do this optimally and quickly," Poroshenko said. The US Secretary of State in a separate congratulation supported Ukraine “in the face of Russian aggression”.

The Russian Foreign Ministry in the person of Maria Zakharova called the new military greeting “Glory to Ukraine! - Glory to the heroes!” “Copy of the Nazi analogue” (do not ask what an analogue is and what a copy). “These phrases are built according to the same accentological principle with emphasis on the same semantic moments,” Zakharova said. The Investigative Committee of Russia for the holiday brought a criminal case against the leaders and participants of the Right Sector: they are suspected of preparing the murders of 50 Russians.

Negotiations with the Ukrainian leadership were held by the US Presidential Advisor to John Bolton. In his opinion , Ukraine needs to think about other gas sources instead of Russian - for example, buy liquefied gas from the USA.

Special relationship with Belarus

Putin appointed a new ambassador to Belarus - the same Mikhail Babich, who was not accepted two years ago in Kiev because of his KGBS -BECGRUNEN. Minsk Babich also did not like, but decided not to contact.

Differential calculation of human rights activists

In Chechnya, after the attack of adolescents on police officers on August 20, young people are massively detained . According to the Chechen authorities, the attackers swore allegiance to IG, human rights activists express doubts. Therefore, Kadyrov got to human rights activists:

“They are corrupt and they have no other purpose, except to aggravate the situation in Chechnya, to do more harm to us. For me they are like terrorists, extremists. Why do they not protect my rights? Since I have no right to go to Europe and to the West, I say: their employees who call themselves human rights activists do not have the right to walk around my territory! I have introduced the sanctions against them!” - said the head of Chechnya.

In response, the “New Gazeta” invited the mayor Sobyanin to ban Kadyrov’s entry into Moscow, and Putin’s spokesman recommended that the head of Chechnya “differentiate” human rights activists.

Pre -trial detention center and prisons

• After the publication in Novaya Gazeta, another video with beatings and insults of the IK-1 colony, investigators opened a second criminal case in the Yaroslavl colony. This record, according to them, captures at least two colony workers who have already appeared in the first criminal case.
• According to the torture in the Kemerovo colony, they began to check.
• One of the accused in the Penza case , it is the “case of the terrorist community“ network ”, and a month was taken by the stage from the Leningrad region to Penza. Why, explained here .
• In St. Petersburg, a convict was found with a pre -trial detention center, who complained to the Supreme Court of the conspiracy of his lawyer (he used to work as an investigator) with the prosecutor.

Everything that remains of politics

• The Bank of Russia seeks to get the right to extra -court blocking of sites , for which he prepared the appropriate amendments to the Law “On Information”. If they give him such a right, the Central Bank will become the seventh department that has the opportunity to enter sites in the register of prohibited information. Further in line is the Russian Post (true).

• On the leaving the Czech Republic, the parliament of the Czech Republic adopted a resolution defining the input of the troops of the USSR and the Warsaw Treaty countries into the territory of Czechoslovakia in 1968 as an “act of invasion and occupation”. It tells how in Russia they remembered the events of half a century ago (“There were no repressions”), there is a good conversation with the “voice of the Prague Spring” by singer Marta Kubishova - just about how they were “not”. And for those who missed the week, a selection of letters from ordinary Czechoslovaks in the USSR from the Ukrainian archives of the KGB.
• A little older story. A fragment of the study of Nikolai Svanidze and Ilya Vasiliev about how the uprising of the prisoners in the Nazi camp Sobibor was lit in the Soviet press of the thaw period.
• A little bit of the future: why genetically edit potatoes and why the internal combustion engine still does not have a serious alternative.
• Literature. The letters of George Ivanov not published earlier with an interesting preface by Andrei Aryev.
