Evening Medusa

October 1st. The newspaper that wrote about the house of Kiselev - without the editor-in-chief, the Russian national football team - without Akinfeev

today at the age of 95 died Charles Aznavour . In memory of the great performer (many even write the “best performer” of the 20th century), all titles of “Evening Medusa” today will be named as his songs.

" Must Know "

On October 1, Nobel Week began, perhaps the most unusual in decades. This time there will be no Nobel Prize in Literature. They decided to cancel it because of the photographer and theater director Jean-Claude Arnault - he was just found guilty of rape today and given two years in prison. Arno is the husband of a member of the Swedish Academy, Katharina Frostenson; it is believed that he leaked the names of Nobel laureates before their official announcement.

However, the week began, as usual, with a prize in medicine - it was given for a new way to treat cancer. Here are two explanations about this therapy - very simple and more complicated.

" As they say "

Russian police torture people. Sometimes physically, but more often psychologically. Here is the monologue of the former Moscow policeman: he does not hide the fact that he beat and tortured people.

“Another psychological torture was often used in the NKVD and the Gestapo. It has been used by me as well. There is nothing illegal in it. For example, we talk for four hours - this is an interrogation. After that, you enter the cell, loaded with questions, and want to rest. Half an hour later, another employee pulls you for interrogation. After a day of such a regime without sleep, you will tell me everything you know. My hobby is history, and I learned about insomnia when I read some memoirs of NKVD and Gestapo officers.

" Bohemia "

Whoever does not fit under this definition, but let Dmitry Kiselev be with us today. The Crimean publication Gorod24 wrote about the journalist's house in Koktebel. Bottom line : a police report was filed against the author of the article, the editor-in-chief was fired, the circulation was confiscated. Kiselev believes that journalists are simply extorting money from him.

" No, I didn't forget anything "

Igor Akinfeev decided to end his career in the national team - the most talented goalkeeper in the history of the country will still play for CSKA, but will no longer play in the colors of the national team. Igor, we all remember and - no matter what club in the country we support (the authors of this newsletter empathize with Spartak) - we will always be grateful for the 2018 World Cup.

" Yesterday Still "

Yes, there were times when the dollar cost not 65 rubles, but less than 30. Remember these? We also remember, albeit with difficulty, and we made a game about Russian financial crises. You need to save dollars and euros in it, and dump rubles if possible. The game is difficult - few even reach the crisis of 2008.
