Evening Medusa

The editor -in -chief of the Mediazone received 25 days of arrest for retweet jokes. What we learned from the results of the study of "satellite V". Kirill Serebrennikov said goodbye to Gogol Center

Good evening,

This is the daily newsletter "Medusa", in which we talk about the main news of the day. Honestly, the news is not much better than yesterday. Nevertheless, we must somehow cope with this. Here we can do it. We watch how the cat fights with the curtain during classes in oratory, which was led by the hostess. The battle was unequal: the cat stuck in the curtain with claws, and the hostess did not immediately notice it. But everything ended well .

Pulse

The main thing is in the day - as short as possible

After the sentence to Alexei Navalny, his supporters took to the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg. The security forces (who were a lot) was tightly detained and beaten by people - including journalists . In Moscow, the riot police hit a club on the head of a journalist in the vest of the press. The Russian Guard began checking. The detainees, who were delivered to the Donskoy police department, talked about torture and bullying . The editor -in -chief of the Mediazone, Sergei Smirnov,was arrested for 25 days per retweet jokes. In Yekaterinburg they hacked the site of the Fourth Channel - instead of it showed an investigation about Putin's Palace. Jeff Bezos will leave the post of General Director of Amazon. The prototype of the Starship ship SpaceX exploded again when landing in flight tests. In Krasnoyarsk, three firefighters died during an extinguishing a burning warehouse. The Ministry of Economic Development invited Russian companies to work in Crimea anonymously so as not to fall under sanctions. Los Angeles declared nominees for the Golden Globe.

The texts of the day

The volunteer of the headquarters of Lyubov Sobol spoke about torture in the Moscow Department of Internal Affairs "Donskoye"

21-year-old Alena Kitaev was detained after yesterday’s campaign in Moscow. The police demanded that she unlock the phone. When she refused, the security forces threatened that they would begin to strangle her with a package and beat her with a stamper. The girl was put on her head and pushed so that she fell from a chair. The younger sister of Kitaeva and other detainees spoke about intimidation and cruelty from the police.

How the Kremlin, Peace, federal channels and our readers reacted to Navalny's verdict

Many Western politicians, including the leaders of Great Britain, Germany, France and US Secretary of State, called the verdict unacceptable - and demanded the immediate and unconditional liberation of Navalny. The Kremlin’s reaction was predictable: we do not comment on the verdicts of the vessels, this sentence will not affect political processes in the country, but in the fact that the security forces overlap the streets, provocateurs are to blame . And they are also to blame for the police violence. Navalny in his speech said that Vladimir Putin will go down in history as a poisoner? The president does not think about this, he works every day and generally provided all the preferential mortgage .

The news of federal channels were almost indistinguishable from the prosecutor’s speech . And the letters of our readers are full of despair, pain and fear .

We talked with the architect of the Palace of Putin

The 62-year-old Italian Lanfranco Chirillo told how he came to Russia in 1993 to build his first object here-a small cottage for a businessman on Rublevka. Over time, Chirillo was overgrown with acquaintances and began to design larger objects, including the same palace. Its architect considers it "very beautiful, but not the most outstanding." Much more Chirillo liked to design an ordinary wooden bridge in this residence. The 100-meter bridge had nothing to oppose-and as a result it was built “standing”, and then lowered from the opposite side. “We were like children playing with LEGO and ignoring the laws of physics,” Kirillo recalls. Here is his story .

The Moscow Department of Culture did not extend the contract with Kirill Serebrennikov. He said goodbye to the Gogol Center beautifully

For eight and a half years, we matured, but did not become stuffy and old assholes. Eight and a half years - this is enough to finally form your own list of virtues and sins. Eight and a half years - this is enough not to stop despising those who destroy beauty, harms art and destroy freedom.

Read the director’s speech .

Coronavirus

Finally, the creators of the "satellite V" published intermediate results of the study of their vaccine

In principle, in order to evaluate the protective properties of the vaccine, you do not need to understand statistics - just look at only one schedule.

But you can read what questions to the vaccine still remained .

WHO seems to be seriously studying the possibility of the appearance of covid passports. What is known about this idea and what does it interfere?

Officially, the WHO is still opposed to the introduction of covid passports: it is difficult to implement technically. In addition, the presence of such a document can lead to new types of inequality on a biological basis. But they are already trying to introduce covid passports-both the states and private companies. The initiative is supported by the tourism industry. Probably, the pressure of lobbyists and the pace of vaccination will grow, and technology will improve. Who will win, opponents or supporters of covid passports are still unclear .

And one more news about coronavirus: Russia resumed a railway message with Belarus, as well as flights to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Podkast "What happened"

What are happening with the detainees in the police department? Mostly they are humiliated and hated

The former specialist Medusa and an employee of the YouTube channel of the Vedud, Daniil Turovsky, was detained at the protests on January 31. The lawyer was not allowed to call him (as well as to other detainees), they didn’t let him call, they didn’t let him into the toilet, they did not feed for more than a day. In the new issue of the podcast “What happened”, he says what is still happening with the detainees in the police department. In short: there is very bad. And despite the fact that the story of Daniel is not the most terrible.

Video of the day

Surka day with Alexei Navalny

Alexei Navalny was replaced by a suspended term in the case of Yves Rocher with a real margin on the day of the groundhog. Upon coincidence, exactly four years ago we made a video about another resonant case in which the accused was Navalny - about the Cirovles case. This process in its own way resembled a groundhog day. However, it is better to see once .

But in general - there is nothing funny in yesterday's sentence.

We try not to be stuffed, your "Medusa"
