Evening Medusa

August 28. Putin - speak, telegram - will issue data

The main news of the day. The Telegram messenger agreed to give special services to users who were suspected of terrorism: by court decision, IP addresses and suspect phones can be issued. Pavel Durov did not bring details, so we have many questions to this solution. And today in Russia again, the Web version of Telegram again worked again. Hmmm, coincidence?

The main news of tomorrow. Russian President Vladimir Putin, having rested and gaining strength on vacation in Tyva, finally found time to speak objectively on pension reform. Tomorrow afternoon, the president will make a video message in which he will “formulate” his attitude to what is happening in detail. We are waiting.

Daily section "Planting for reposts" . The ECHR sided with the blogger from Syktyvkar Savva Terentyev - the first person convicted under the article on extremism for commentary on the social network. The court found that Russia violated the right of a blogger to freedom of expression. Terentyev in 2008 received a year conditionally for the initiation of hatred in relation to the social group "Police Employees". Medusa talked with Terentyev about how they were judged in Russia for comments ten years ago - and how this is happening now.

The unique abilities of detectives (in the UK). The key role in the investigation of the case of Skripal poisoning was played by two detectives with a unique memory on their faces. They watched five thousand hours of video from the airports (by the way, 177 days have passed since the poisoning, it was a little more than four thousand hours. And when did they only have time to sleep?) And they were able to see the faces of two suspects in involvement in poisoning. The suspects, however, have long flew to Russia.

The unique abilities of the police (in Russia). The key role in Maria Motuznaya (she is judged by the reposts) was played by an employee of the EE center Vadim Strelkov. As it turned out today in court, in just one hour he looked at 14 thousand images placed on the VKontakte motive page, and managed to see signs of extremism there. But alas, the memory, unlike British colleagues, cannot boast of shooters - in court he said that he forgot when he did it and how he did it at all.

About the brothers. The head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov loves to congratulate officials, sports stars and artists on his birthday in his social networks. Congratulations are similar to each other, but some have one important difference: someone calls the head of the Chechen Republic a brother, but someone does not. We made the game: try to guess who deserved this appeal from Kadyrov.

And about mothers. The speaker of the Duma Vyacheslav Volodin almost two weeks after the investigation of the FBK about his mother’s apartment for 230 million rubles still could not stand it and began to give explanations . So far, he claims that the woman bought her "for her own money." I wonder what will happen next.

We love you, brothers! Grisha Levchenko, Sasha Polivanov
