Everything you need to know early in the morning of July 21

Good morning!

It turned four years since the murder of journalist Pavel Sheremet in Kiev - at the place of his death, friends and colleagues erected a monument, but the investigation was never completed, and the motives of those whom the investigation calls the performers, at least incomprehensible. It’s not easy to figure out the news:

• Putin fired the arrested Sergei Furgal from the post of governor of the Khabarovsk Territory and appointed the acting deputy of the State Duma from the LDPR Mikhail Degtyarev.
• Navalny closed the FBK and creates a new organization.
• The US State Department imposed sanctions against Ramzan Kadyrov and his family members.
• After four days of negotiations, the EU countries have reached a compromise about measures to restore the economy.

Vrio was sent to Khabarovsk

Putin fired Sergei Furgal arrested on July 9 from the post of governor of the Khabarovsk Territory and appointed the acting State Duma deputy from the LDPR Mikhail Degtyarev (Furgal was also elected from the LDPR). Thus, Zhirinovsky was pacified (he even thanked the president), but the main problem remained: Degtyarev has nothing to do with the Far East, and in the Duma he was engaged mainly with trolling (proposed to ban the dollar and repaint the Kremlin) until he began to promote Moscow renovation.

In Khabarovsk, where since the arrest of Furgal, shares in his support are not terminated, the appointment of Degtyarev was accepted with hostility: the most popular comment on Degtyarev’s Instagram was the phrase “you do not need the Khabarovsk Territory”.

In parallel, the Investigative Committee is trying to explain why for the murders allegedly committed in 2004-2005, the van was arrested only now: it turns out , then he was also detained, but he managed to get out thanks to large ties in the local police. About the condition of the business partner of Furgal Nikolai Mistryukov, on whose testimony the case will most likely be built, says an PMC Eva Merkachev (not for the faint of heart). The court left deputies of the Legislative Duma arrested in Khabarovsk under arrest: they are accused of fraud at the Amurstal plant, related to Mistryukov, but this case may be cunningly intertwined with the main case against Furgal.

In Vladivostok for five days, Anton Resin was arrested for five days, a participant in the action in support of Furgal (disobedience). Resin is an employee of the Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the other day he had to defend his candidate. During the detention, he was beaten. As the situation with mass protests in the Far East will develop further, political scientist Kirill Rogov is trying to predict here .

Russian everyday

• Alexei Navalny liquidates the Corruption Fund and opens a new organization - just to have current bills from which you can pay rent, salaries, etc., the FBK accounts, as well as the personal accounts of Navalny and Sable, will be blocked for a long time in the court’s decision in the case of Prigozhin Moskovsky School: the court obliged the FBK, Navalny and Sobol to pay Sobol 88 million rubles in connection with the investigation of the outbreak of dysentery in Moscow children's institutions served by this company.
• The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia recognized the activities of six American and one British non -governmental organizations that protect the rights of followers of the Chinese religious movement “Falungun”.

Meanwhile, the epidemic

According to official figures on Monday morning, 5940 new Covid-19 cases have been identified in Russia (this indicator continues to decline smoothly). 85 people died per day, the total number of victims of the epidemic was 12,427 on Monday morning, another 17 people died in Moscow. The total number of epidemics infected over the entire period is 777 thousand.

The publication of Bloomberg made a great noise that higher Russian officials and top managers of large companies since spring had access to the Covid-19 vaccine developed in the center named after Gamaley. The Russian authorities deny everything, but other media confirm this. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the completion of clinical trials, the immune response supposedly had everyone. It can be assumed that now the fight against the epidemic will take care of the Russian authorities much less.

The deputy of the St. Petersburg Zaks Boris Vishnevsky managed to find out that from April to June, Rospotrebnadzor issued almost five thousand permits for the burial of patients with coronavirus, suspicion of COVID-19 and immature pneumonia. Official statistics - 1807 lethal cases.

The mayor of Norilsk, who previously announced the underestimation of coronavirus statistics in the city, resigned . Now everything will work out.

And here is the story of the chief infectious disease specialist of the Karachai district Leila Batchaeva about how she was dragged for interrogations and eventually fired due to comments on the scale of the epidemic in the region, which she gave the media and bloggers. The infectious department in the hospital where she worked was simply closed.

The pandemic continues to expand-the total number of COVID-19 cases in the United States came close to four million. At the same time, Britain announced the success of the Oxford vaccine, and a medicine has been developed (but not yet approved), significantly reducing the need for Ivl apparatuses. In France, they returned the obligatory wearing of masks in closed rooms, the leaders of the European Union after four days of negotiations came to a compromise about measures to support the economy.

In Turkmenistan, where the coronavirus is not officially, there are ears of deaths in the immediate environment of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov intensively .
