Eco -activists in the Arkhangelsk region seemed to defeat the war against a landfill in Shies. But the protests there continues

The struggle against a huge landfill for waste from Moscow and other regions lasted since the fall of 2018 - and led not only to the cancellation of the project of its construction, but also to the resignation of the governors of the two regions. In January, three environmental organizations announced that the protest was over. But the tent town at the Shies station is still on the spot. Activists who stayed there still do not believe in the authorities : they believe that instead of the reclamation of the Earth, they will build a garbage plant.

How do the Republicans differ from the Democrats?

In the USA, the new president: the candidate from the Democratic Party Joseph Biden defeated the Republican Donald Trump and will take office today. How two parties are actually different, says Ivan Kurill, a American University of European University in St. Petersburg. These differences are not as obvious as it seems. For example, the Democrats for a long time advocated the preservation of slavery and, later, segregation. And also were supporters of the liberal approach to the economy, which is now associated with the Republicans.

How Olga Buzova became one of the most popular singers in the country

In this section of the "Evening Medusa" we talk about the heroes (and heroines), which were reported earlier. Today it is Olga Buzova, whose name quite unexpectedly appeared on the news on the day of Navalny’s return to Russia. All thanks to people who called themselves her fans and arrived at Vnukovo Airport. And later it turned out that only three people knew about her arrival. Upon coincidence, exactly two years ago, the text about the phenomenon of Olga Buzova was released at Medusa - and by the way, about her fans too (only real ones).

Well, with the new president we will heal, your "Medusa"
