Attempts to influence the drill

Good morning!

In Brazil, the National Museum completely burned out , which celebrated a two hundredth anniversary this year. Over 20 million exhibits were killed, but life goes further as if nothing had happened.

• More than half of the Russians, according to the Levada Center, are ready to protest against raising the retirement age (but for some reason they do not protest).
• The FSIN promises to equip the Russian colonies with improved DVRs that cannot be disconnected for the time of beating prisoners.
• FSB officers are investigating the murder of Alexander Zakharchenko in Donetsk and have already come to a firm conclusion about the involvement of the Ukrainian special services. They deny.
• Petro Poroshenko introduced amendments to the Constitution to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, fixing the country's intention to join NATO and join the EU.

Knowledge Day

• It becomes difficult to gain knowledge from books to Russian schoolchildren: they put a mark of 18+ on books and, accordingly, do not sell them to minors. In Yekaterinburg, a schoolgirl was unable to buy Mayakovsky, Yesenin and Brodsky. Well, Brodsky, let's say, really uses (“There is a hut, but laziness to drag. // I am not *****, but a crane operator”), and the maple that fell with a duplicate of priceless cargo suffered for?
• The former British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson suffered for anything. By parting the students of MGIMO before the start of the school year, the head of VTB Kostin called Johnson “a freak” - compared to handsome Sergei Lavrov (then, however, he apologized).
• The Ombudsman Moskalkova admonished (for some reason) of students of the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade. When she was asked about the fate of the Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov , who was holding a hunger strike in a Russian prison, she doubted that it was a hunger strike (he receives a nutrient mixture), and stupid students for the fate of foreign citizens-despite the fact that earlier Crimean Sentsov, contrary to his will, made a citizen of Russia. “You read too much about Sentsov,” said the Commissioner for Human Rights.
• The former deputy of the Moscow district of Yakimanka Dmitry Zakharov also thinks so. Therefore, he complained to the Investigative Committee of the deputy of the Basmanny district Viktor Kotov, who wrote an article about Oleg Sentsov for the municipal newspaper “Our Yakimanka” (“expressed support for the terrorist”).

Ready, but do not protest

More than half of the Russians, according to the Levada Center, are ready to protest against raising the retirement age. Why they are not doing this yet, the director of the “Levada Center” Lev Gudkov and the representative of the FBK Navalny Nikolai Lyaskin explain .

The rally of the memory of the victims of Beslan in Moscow also did not collect the crowd . Speakers were not said. In Beslan itself, the relatives of the victims recall the tragedy in a private manner.

Cameras, scenery, drill. And the song in VK

• The Russian Federal Penitentiary Service promises to establish new DVRs in the colonies, which cannot be turned off during the beating of prisoners. In the Yaroslavl colony, the frames from which served as an impetus for a wide discussion of torture, conduct a new check.
• On the complaint of the Minister of Culture of Medinsky, two criminal cases were instituted on the embezzlement of money allocated by the Film Foundation .
• Theatrical case : Director Kirill Serebrennikov finished getting acquainted with the materials of his criminal case and asks to stop him for lack of corpus delicti. His “accomplice” Alexei Malobrodsky continues to read documents and declares the discovery of another fake protocol.
• The head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin discovered the guilty in the air leak at the International Space Station : someone, on Earth, in Lee Cosmos, made “several attempts to influence the drill”. We are waiting for the case of drill.
• ( You can read about the permanent “case of doctors” here - the other day it turned 70 from the date of the death of Zhdanov, which will later contribute to the organization of the persecution of “killers in white robes.”)
• A resident of Tyumen received a year and a half conditionally for an “extremist” song laid out in VK two years ago.

Illegal armed groups

Sources in the region report that about 40 men were detained from August 7 to August 23 in the Chechen city. They were tortured, demanding to confess to illegal armed groups. Then everyone was released.

After all the media wrote about the kidnapping of the Chechen refugee Azamat Baiduev, deported from Poland to Russia, the republic’s police reported that he was not abducted, but arrested - on suspicion, again, in involvement in illegal armed groups.

Meanwhile in Ukraine

• The autumn session of the Verkhovna Rada opens. President Petro Poroshenko amended the Constitution, ensuring the mainly law of Ukraine’s desire to join NATO and join the EU.
• The FSB of Russia does not hide that she sent her “specialists” to Donetsk to investigate the murder of Alexander Zakharchenko . They have already come to the conclusion that the explosion in the Separ cafe was organized with the participation of Ukrainian special services. The Ukrainian special services insist on their non -involvement - the department believes that the head of pro -Russian separatists either killed as a result of internal showdowns or eliminated Russian special services.
• Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko is preparing an author’s investigation of his “murder” in Kiev by order of Russia. In the meantime, he cooks it, read

Six links

• “There was once a Barto’s children's poem, where two heroines always walked a couple. Russian writers and poets also go in pairs: where Pushkin is Lermontov. Tolstoy has their own couple: this is Dostoevsky.” Materials of public discussion "Why Tolstoy?" Between the historian of literature Andrei Zorin and sociologist Grigory Yudin. In a couple - excerpts from the diary of Anna Grigoryevna Dostoevskaya.
• Two passages - from the book of Marina Arromstam “The White Verkh - the Dark Bottom (about Soviet childhood) and from the novel by Christian Kramat “ The Dead ”translated by Tatyana Baskakova.
• Non-fiction. In July, Gleb Strugnikov accidentally met Vladimir Zhirinovsky in Moscow and doused him with beer. For which I received 15 days, and now his notes about the everyday life of a special receiver, in which he left these 15 days. Or the pretty reasoning of Vladimir Gubailovsky about science and common sense, about the knowledge of the exact and humanitarian.

Sincerely yours,
