Everything you need to know early in the morning of May 22

Good morning!

Rosneft was very upset by one headline at RBC (this one: “The Ryazan Chop received a share in the former Venezuelan project Rosneft), and it turned to the arbitration with the demand to recover 43 billion rubles from RBC for damage to business reputation. The Union of Russian Journalists named the amount of“ inadequate ”. This is recently a lot of adjectives. What is suitable for:

• In Russia, the second day of the new cases of Covid-19 does not exceed 9 thousand. According to rumors, Kadyrov fell ill, he was brought to Moscow.
• The CEC of Russia defrosted money to prepare for a popular vote on amendments to the Constitution.
• Putin introduced amendments to the Law on Education to the State Duma: schools will be obliged to educate patriotism, admiration for the exploits of their ancestors, etc. The exam will begin on June 29.
• The United States leaves the Open Sky Treaty. American devices of Ivl flew to Russia.

Russian patients

According to Thursday morning, the daily increase in new Covid-19 cases in Russia amounted to 8849, in total, 317.5 thousand infected are in total, almost 93 thousand of them recovered. The total number of dead was on Thursday morning 3099, another 73 people died in Moscow during a day. The wife of the Putin spokesman recovered, Peskov himself remains in the hospital .

According to rumors, who distribute TASS and Interfax, the head of Chechnya fell ill - he was delivered by plane to Moscow. Why we will never hear about this from Kadyrov himself, here the chief editor of the “Caucasian node” Grigory Swedov explains . In Chechnya, for four days of Uraza-Bayram's holiday (May 23–26), any movement in the republicis prohibited .

In Moscow, 88 MFCs will open on Monday and will begin to work car sharing (though according to a strange scheme). From May 27, they will begin to test everyone on the antibodies to the coronavirus - but do not rush to run there: according to various media, a message passed that those who have these antibodies will be sent to mandatory two -week isolation. The Moscow Department of Health denied this message, but the document that journalists referred really exists.

Russian hospitals

More than a third of Russian doctors working with Covid-19 note cases of manipulation with incidence statistics-this follows from a survey conducted in a professional medical appendix. According to the estimates of the Associated Press, almost 9.5 thousand Russian doctors infected Covid-19 over the past month, at least 70 died. Here are stories from three hospitals:

• The covid-19 flash in one of the districts of the Kurgan region is associated with the local hospital and clinic (no one gives official comments).
• At least 51 employees are ill in the hospital in Reutovo, who is at least 51, but the leadership blames the whole doctor who talks about the negligence of the leadership.
• From the clinic in Kirov, with the wording “for undermining the business reputation”, the registrar was fired - she discussed the allowance in social networks (she was not paid, because she is not a doctor, but a registrar).

Russian punishment system

• Users of the Social Monitoring application, which helped out 216 million rubles for fines for the Moscow authorities, describe its work as torture: people say that it sends a selfie request at 4 a.m. and writes out fines for violating self -insulation, moving through an ambulance - from an apartment to a hospital. Here is one set of real stories, here is the second (decide for yourself how worse).
• In the case of the distribution of coronavirus fakes, a Muscovite was detained (she wrote that in pharmacies, humanitarian aid masks are sold).
• The Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia accused the France 24 television channel of trying to destabilize the situation in Russia through the plot about the riot in the Angarsk colony (Francophones of all regions, connect!).
• According to the project “Apology of Protest”, over the past five years of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard, about $ 100 million spent on the dispersal technique for the dispersal of rallies.
• A resident of the Tula region was accused of rehabilitation of Nazism for Hitler’s photograph on the website of the Immortal Regiment (this is the fifth criminal case in connection with the bright holiday of May 9).
• In the Kemerovo region, a criminal case has been opened under an article on insulting a representative of the authorities in connection with the video on YouTube, in which the local center “E” is called the “holey office”, consisting of “absolutely superfluous, unnecessary ones that simply eat salaries”.
• Residents of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Arkhangelsk region protest against the unification of the regions - we will also see how they will be punished.

Constitutionally protected value

“Vedomosti” studied the motivating part of the decision of the Moscow City Court, on the basis of which activist Konstantin Kotov was not released, as the Supreme Court demanded, but left behind bars, reducing the punishment from 4 years to one and a half. It turns out that the slogans “Putin Thief” and “Down with Putin”, which chanted Kotov, “created a real threat of causing significant harm <...> constitutionally protected values.”

Strictly speaking, that Putin really becomes “constitutionally protected value”, it is necessary to conduct a “popular approval” of amendments to the Constitution, which aborch his terms. At a closed meeting, the CEC defrosted the money to prepare for this event, follow the advertising.

The constitutionally protected value itself introduced to the State Duma amendments to the Law on Education: it proposes to add to the definition of the upbringing of children "the formation of a sense of patriotism and citizenship, respect for the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland and the feats of the heroes of the Fatherland." In order for anyone to respect, Putin awarded Maria Zakharov to the Order of Honor (for “a great contribution to the implementation of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation”), and Shoigu - the Order “For Merits to the Fatherland” with swords (for birthday).

In addition, the Russian president talked about reducing educational loans bets, promised to postpone the autumn draft in the army for the graduates of this year and set a date for the exam-the exams will begin on June 29.

While Putin was engaged in education problems, the State Duma has created Efir (this is not a drug - this is a single federal information register in which all data about each citizen will be collected, including the databases of digital images from surveillance cameras).

Around the world

The total number of cases of coronavirus infection in the world approaches 5 million 200 thousand, almost 334.5 thousand people became victims of the pandemic.

The most infected and dead in the United States (1 million 620 thousand and more than 96 thousand, respectively), but the political life has not freely froze there: President Trump announced the withdrawal from the Treaty on the Open Heaven (because it allegedly violated by Russia), and the USAID agency, whose activities have been banned since 2012, delivered Ivl apparatuses to Russia. This “exchange of gifts” probably means something-sorry, Levi-Strauss has already died, will not explain.

In Georgia from tomorrow, the commandant’s action and the emergency mode stops .

Scientists work very effectively in Ukraine: the Ministry of Health and the Council of Ministers asked them to develop tests on the Covid-19, and they developed. Only now the state does not buy these tests.

Now the coronavirus is most rapidly spreading to the countries of South America (Brazil not today and today will overtake Russia according to the number of infected), then Africa can become a focus, which will entail hunger, increase children's mortality and other humanitarian tragedies.

The Olympic Games in Tokyo, postponed in July 2021, will not transfer the second time, but simply will be canceled if it becomes clear that they cannot cope with the pandemia for the year.

In China, a session of the All -Chinese Assembly of People's Representatives is opening today: they will discuss the restoration of the economy, the results of the fight against the epidemic and separately - “Hong Kong separatism” . There, it seems, are sure that the virus is over.
