Very black sea

All you need to know early in the morning of November 27

Good morning!

Director Bernardo Bertolucci died in Rome - he was 77 years old. Here Vadim Rutkovsky writes about him. The news is also gloomy:

• The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine introduced martial law in the regions border with Russia from tomorrow for a period of 30 days. The presidential elections were scheduled for March 31, 2019.
• The UN Security Council did not consider the incident in the Kerch Strait in the formulation proposed by Russia and condemned the conflict.
• Roskomnadzor started an administrative case against Google for refusing to remove resources prohibited in Russia from issuing. Instagram and Facebook, on the contrary, began to block posts by decision of Russian ships.
• The court canceled the decision on the administrative arrest of Raper Husky, but the concert took place in his support anyway.

Nobody will read the list of ships to the end

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the introduction of martial law in ten regions of Ukraine for 30 days. The former presidents Kravchuk, Kuchma, Yushchenko opposed such a decision in advance - they were afraid that martial law on the eve of the presidential election could limit democracy. The Verkhovna Rada took into account this and scheduled the elections for March 31, 2019, and President Poroshenko changed the validity of martial law in his decree - from 60 to 30 days. What implies martial law by law is briefly explained here .

The names of 18 Ukrainian military, detained in the Kerch Strait, became known . About three wounded is described here . All of them seem to be in Kerch. Here is a list of ships from which it is clear what forces Russia and Ukraine have on the Black Sea.

The FSB published a video of the interrogation of Ukrainian sailors, Ukraine believes that the testimony is given under pressure. The General Staff of the Security Forces of Ukraine published the radio interception of negotiations between the Russian military (carefully, mat).

Russia continues to insist that the incident in the Kerch Strait was a “ invasion of foreign ships into territorial waters”, carefully planned by provocation, the creation of a pretext for increasing sanctions against Russia. The FSB claims that Ukrainian vessels threatened with weapons to Russian ships. In Ukraine, a criminal case has been instituted under an article on the outbreak of an aggressive war , Poroshenko requires the release of sailors and captured ships. What are the Russian and Ukrainian media what happened is told here . The ruble fell slightly .

The head of NATO also called on Russia to immediately free the Russian sailors. US President Donald Trump said : “We don't like what is happening.” Putin, the Kremlin press service reports , asked Angel Merkel on the phone to influence Kiev. The UN Security Council refused to put on the agenda the question proposed by Russia about the “violation of the borders of the Russian Federation”. Most countries condemned the actions of Russia, did not accept any joint document.

It explains how, in principle, shipping is carried out in the Sea of Azov and the exit from it and to Black, two versions are put forward here about who needs it (1 - Putin destabilizes Ukraine; 2 - Poroshenko clings to power). And here are photos about all this.

Against this background, the report that the Ukrainian Oschadbank had sued $ 1.3 billion in the Paris Arbitration in connection with the annexation of Crimea, was somehow ascended. However, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation has already stated that he did not recognize the decision.

Ingushetia in St. Petersburg

Today, the Constitutional Court of Russia (located, unlike all other centers of power, not in Moscow, but in St. Petersburg) will consider the issue of transferring land from Ingushetia to Chechnya . The human rights activist of Agora receive threats in connection with this case, activists of the St. Petersburg movement “Vesna”, on the contrary, supported the Ingush, hung on the Kadyrov bridge on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, the banner “belongs to Ingushetia”.

Roskomnadzor, Ministry of Health and FSIN

• The Rincovyazdor opened an administrative case against Google for the fact that the company was not concerned about connecting Internet resources prohibited in Russia to the list of prohibited in Russia (in order to exclude these resources from the search results). Facebook and Instagram first blocked the posts for Russian users by decision of the local court. Reuters writes that in the Kremlin they intend to increase fines for techno -players who do not observe the Russian law “On Information” - up to 1% of their revenue in Russia.
• The Russian Ministry of Health is preparing a bill prohibiting the sale of alcohol to persons under 21 years of age (and he could demonstrate anti -Americanism in this matter).
• Former prisoners of the Omsk colony tell how they were forced to crawl naked on all fours with a collar on their neck and bark.

Science and culture

• The NASA Insight probe successfully sat on Mars. What he will do there is described in detail here .
• The court canceled the decision on the 12-day arrest of rapper Husky, he was released, but the concert in his support in Moscow still took place .
• In Dagestan, a geek festival for adolescents was canceled , because "for Dagestan it is abnormal."
