September 6th. Return of the USSR: a state plan for regions, a state order for cinema

The main news of the day . United Russia and Vladimir Putin were introduced by some of the promised amendments to the second reading of the draft law on pension reform - it is proposed to maintain benefits to the north to the north and citizens with great work experience, as well as introduce criminal liability for dismissal in pre -retirement age. But the most important thing-the deputies finally realized that two weeks ago they went too far with the promised cancellation of pension benefits for themselves: now they decided to refuse the deputy allowance voluntary. As they say, Bravo, we voted for these guys .

The main news of yesterday (more precisely, its consequences) . So far, the United States, France and Germany are expected to support Teresa May's assertions of the Russian authorities to attempt on the Skripals, the Russian authorities themselves and pro-government media outlets are looking for what to catch on to cast doubt on the investigation of Scotland Yard-then they do not likethe clothes at the airport , then the clothes of the alleged agents are not the same. Well, in the UK they published a new video with the suspects: on it, a few minutes after the assassination attempt with genuine interest, they examine something in the window of the bookstore. Secret agents are also people, not any soulless robots.

The euro is growing . Today at exchange trading, the cost of a unit of the European currency exceeded 80 rubles - for the first time since April 11. The dollar cost above 69 - the first time in two years. Oh, what will happen when they announce new sanctions because of the Skripals case.

Social tension is also growing . As the Levada sociologists found out, over a year in Russia the level of social tension has sharply increased : the residents of the country began to talk much more often about the crisis in the economy, price increase, unemployment and impoverishment of the population. The last time there was such a sharp increase in negative assessments in early 1998. OH WAIT ...

The USSR is returning? At a meeting of the Public Council, the Ministry of Council was proposed to create a system of state order for cinema . The country is believed by the authors of this idea, it is vital to release at least three to five films a year “in the interests of the state”. Because cinema is "this is a spiritual and strategic weapon." But there is no place where the popcorn is litter.

Yes, the USSR is definitely returning . The governor of the Irkutsk region (by the way, communist) Sergei Levchenko announced the transition of the region to a five -year state plan . Despite the fact that “times have changed a lot”, the principles of the state plan, according to the governor, will be similar to those that were formulated in the Soviet five -year plans. I wonder what will happen next - maybe grocery cards will be introduced?

Photo of the day . In Japan, which literally a few days ago the strongest typhoon flew up, a new natural disaster: an earthquake of magnitude 6.6, which led to a landslide, occurred on Hokkaido.
