Evening Medusa

October 2. And this is the governor Vadim Shumkov and his deputy Vadim Shumkov

The news about the governors (absurd). On September 9, elections were held in Russia, after which the leaders of those regions where there were no elections, they began to resign. This happens every year-for some reason the Kremlin believes that rotation should be arranged precisely after the election. But what is interesting: this year, almost exclusively namesakes of other heads of regions become new governors. It reaches the ridiculous: September 25, for example, the head of Kabardino-Balkaria, Yuri Kokov resigned, and his place took ... also Kokov, but Kazbek. Today Igor Artamonov became the Lipetsk region - the Governor of the Kaluga Region is exactly the same surname! And in the Kurgan region, Putin appointed the head of Vadim Shumkov. Among his deputies is another Vadim Shumkov !

Another news about governors (even more absurd). In Khakassia (yes, where in the first round the candidate from the Communist Party of the Communist Party was almost half ahead of United Russia) cannot hold a second round of elections. The fact is that Viktor Zimin, who took second place, refused to participate in it. According to the regulations, Andrei Filyagin, who took third place, went to the second round, but he refused. Then the right to participate in the elections passed completely to the outsider Alexander Mahyar. He is going to the polls so far, but if he runs away, then the communist Valentin Konovalov will participate in the election one! Moreover, he can lose: if he receives less than 50% of the vote, the elections are recognized as failed.

Just absurd news: Jeremy Clarkson swept through Georgia with a plaster head of Stalin on the hood (!), The Russian trolls, it turns out , attacked the film “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (!!), in Belarus canceled the ban on the sale of alcohol at night - he lasted one day (!!!). And also iPhones for 130 thousand rubles, as it turned out , have quite significant jambs - in any case, users complain.

And at the end - Chepig of the day. About Ruslan Boshirova (Anatoly Chepig), journalists recently learned a lot of new things: they went to his village, excavated, where he was registered in Moscow, talked with his colleagues. The general picture is quite convincing, and the silence of the official authorities is becoming more and more strange.
