Sit down for a broken ruble and pay for a sober

Everything you need to know early in the morning of March 6

Good morning!

In the UK, a second person in the world was discovered , who was completely cured of HIV. It is wonderful, but it is too early to rejoice: the getting rid of the virus occurred after the bone marrow transplant from the special donor during the treatment of cancer - Hodgkin lymphoma. There is no thin one without good:

• Today, the Russian State Duma will adopt in the second reading a bill on the punishment for saying “disrespect for power” on the Internet. In the meantime, the court in Krasnodar blocked four Husky clips.
• Activists were detained on Stalin’s memory of Stalin's memory on Red Square, who loudly wanted him to burn in hell.
• Russian diplomatic apartments in Prague are rented to third parties for cash and without concluding a lease. This violates the Vienna Convention.
• In Algeria, protests continues against the nomination of the current president for the fifth time, in Venezuela Maduro convened an “anti -imperialist march”.

Silence, hide and thai

Today, the State Duma of Russia will consider in the second reading bills prohibiting the distribution of fake information and express “clear disrespect” to power on the Internet. The punishment provided there will most likely increase.

Already current laws, with punishments provided for in them, are actively applied:

• The court in Krasnodar blocked the four clips of rapper Husky, because they can push minors to the commission of "suicide, murder, use of tobacco products, sexual debauchery, use in conversations of obsceneity and other swear words and expressions."
• Khodorkovsky’s lawsuit against Roskomnadzor rejected the court of MBH Media blocking.
• In Krasnoyarsk, activist Alexander Solozhenko received 20 days of arrest for an interview with a local publication during a rally against a pension reform six months ago.
• In Kurgan against the activist "Movement for the restoration of the rights of citizens of the USSR", a criminal case was instituted on calls for extremism on the Internet.
• In Nizhny Novgorod, a local journalist was detained for a passage around the city with a portrait of Boris Nemtsov.
• In the decision of the St. Petersburg court in the case of those damaged by supporters of Navalny green spaces, an aggravating circumstance was discovered : the action “He is not the king” dedicated to the next inauguration of Putin on May 5, 2018, it turns out, threatened the celebration of Victory Day.

The breath of Chain-Koksa

On the next anniversary of Stalin’s death, his adheres from the Communist Party traditionally laid two cloves at the Kremlin wall. Two activists of the project “Decommunization”, who tried to explain to the Communists that Stalin - “executioner of the people” was detained by the police.

Here, the Novosibirsk historian Sergei Krasilnikov tells how the official attitude towards the Stalinist terror is changing in recent years, and here the story of how relatives of Stalin himself were subjected to repression.

All evil from money

• In Tomsk, the owner of the Winter Cherry shopping center burned in Kemerovo was awarded the medal as the best philanthropist.
• In Surgut, a man who, in a drunken form and under the influence of a “acute sense of social injustice”,prompted a ruble monument to pieces of a strict regime for pieces. When he is released, drinking will become even more expensive: the Federation Council has prepared a bill on paid detachments.
• Forbes published the next rating of the rich , the richest man in the world was the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos, but the son of Putin’s friend and, they say, his former son -in -law, disappeared from the list of billionaires (they say, after the divorce).
• After the publication of the OCCRP investigation, the quotes of the banks mentioned there fell on the offshore empire of the Troika of Dialogue. The Austrian Reiffeisen was especially cheaper - after the Hermitage Capital Foundation, founded by Bill Broud, turned to the Austrian prosecutor's office with a request to investigate the removal of criminal money through this bank. Sberbank, who bought the Three Dialog in 2012, said that he had nothing to do with her offshore.
• In Tashkent, the daughter of the first president of Uzbekistan Gulnar Karimov was again detained - earlier she was released at parole, and now they will return back to prison. In the west, Karimov is accused of assigning almost a billion dollars, most of these funds are frozen; In Uzbekistan, she was also found guilty of financial abuses.
• Money is smaller. The investigation of the Czech publication Deník N claims that the Russian embassy in Prague rents apartments in four houses in the unlimited use of Russian diplomats under an agreement that was concluded between Czechoslovakia and the USSR. The commercial use of diplomatic apartments violates the Vienna Convention, therefore, in order not to violate its de jure, lease agreements are not concluded, and the payment for the removal is accepted only in cash at the Russian embassy. Accordingly, these income are not taxed, and tenants do not have an official address, which greatly limits their capabilities. Those who begin to download rights are simply beaten. One of the residents of the house claims that after a scandal with the embassy, a cat was stolen from her and electricity was turned off.

The world is restless

• In Algeria, protests resumed against the re -election of the current president of Abdelaziz Butfliki for the fifth period. Read more about what is happening there is described here .
• The United States extended sanctions against Venezuela. Nicholas Maduro convened his supporters on the “anti -imperialist march”.
• North Korea, according to American analysts, is restored by the SOCE missile nuclear training ground (it began after the meeting, Kim Jong -un and Trump in Singapore began).
• Before the elections to the European Parliament, French President Emmanuel Macron made a program article about the future of the European Union - he wants to initiate the “European Renaissance”. The leader of the European People’s Party (unifying legal parties of various European countries to work in the European Parliament) nominated the ultimatum to the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban: if he does not stop the anti-bryussel campaign, he will not apologize for the slander and will not leave the Central European University in Budapest, the Party of Fidesh, which is headed Orban, excluded from the People’s Party.
