Everything you need to know early in the morning of February 12
Good morning!
Today in Moscow, the trial of Navalny in the case of slander for a veteran will continue. The night before, in the Moscow headquarters, the politician was searched in connection with someone’s complaint that pornography is being printed there. The rest is like this:
The Russian authorities very seriously took the call of Navalny’s headquarters to go out on Sunday evening in the courtyard and turn on the flashlights on the phones. The Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee warned citizens about responsibility for participating in "mass events organized in violation of the established procedure." The Ministry of Internal Affairs added to this that according to the results of the two past shares, 90 criminal cases were instituted. The State Agencies of TASS and RIA Novosti disseminated the allegations of anonymous sources about the attacks preparing throughout the country. On state television channels, Leonid Volkov’s posts were shown at the top of the screen and explained that all this “subversive activity” was conducted at the instigation of the enemies of Russia, “the NATO has instructed their influence agents”.
Here, this strange enthusiasm of the Russian authorities is commented by the head of the regional headquarters of Navalny Leonid Volkov: “If they really try to send riot police and Rosguard to all the courtyards of large cities, this will greatly help the promotion of the idea of our action.” Political scientist Ekaterina Shulman calls standing with a flashlight an important stage in a large protest movement on the eve of the Duma elections and says that it will be very useful to look at the reaction of the repressive apparatus.
The pursuit of the closest associates of Navalny continues. Here is the analysis of the criminal case of Leonid Volkov - the involvement of minors in the protest, the investigation saw that his video on YouTube had an age limit of 0+. Lyubov Sobol was charged with the penetration of the FSBSHNIK Konstantin Kudryavtsev, who told Navalny on the phone how his panties were washed. Now sable will be transported every day by car from under house arrest to the Investigative Committee so that she can read her business.
Rosreestr hid the data of the wife of the alleged employee of the FSB Institute for FSB Konstantin Kudryavtsev. Two months ago, it was recorded as a co -owner of the apartment, now instead of its data is the "Russian Federation".
As follows from the joint investigation Bellingcat and The Insider, this married Kudryavtsev was involved in the poisoning of the politician Vladimir Kara-Murza: in at least two trips that coincide with the movements of Kara-Murza in Russia, Kudryavtsev accompanied Alexander Samophal-presumably, an employee of the 2nd department of the FSB, responsible for protecting the constitutional building. Journalists suggest that in the first case, poisoning poison was applied to underwear politics either at his home in Moscow or in a hotel room. In the second case, the bearer of poison could be a toothbrush. Here is the full version of the investigation in Russian, but the commentary of Vladimir Kara-Murza himself. Like Navalny, he also called one of his poisoners to Roman Mezentsev, was convinced that the number was really him, but he did not engage in pink, like Navalny. When Kara-Murza introduced himself, Mezentsev hung up.
Speaking at the All -Belorussian People’s Assembly, Alexander Lukashenko said that a new constitution would appear during the year, and at the beginning of the next he would be taken to a referendum. According to him, he will leave power when order will be restored in the country, that is, protests will stop, and when he receives security guarantees for himself and all his supporters. What is the All -Belorussian People’s Assembly (it has been passing the sixth time), told here - something like a club of Lukashenko fans. The head of the sports solidarity fund Alexander Gerasimen, on the occasion of the convocation of the “people's gathering”, turned to Lukashenko with an open letter, in which she reminded that it was impossible to intimidate the protesters and that they would still win.
Large -scale protests announced on the eve did not take place - but many local ones took place , it was not without detention either.
In Soligorsk on administrative charges, a member of the Stachkom “Belaruskali” Yuri Korzun was detained ; The Minsk programmer was given four years in colony for the “Barricades Establishment”.
According to the operational headquarters on Thursday morning, the daily increase in new Covid-19 cases in Russia has increased slightly -up to 15,038. The number of infected in the country since the beginning of the epidemic amounted to 4 million 28 thousand. The official number of victims reached on Thursday morning 78,687 people (+553 per day). Why all these numbers of the operational headquarters do not matter, the former employee of Rosstat, demographer Alexei Raksha, explains here , and here is a data analysis specialist from Tubingen University Dmitry Kobak. Both insist that excess mortality published by Rosstat last year is 324 thousand people and should be considered the real number of victims of the epidemic in Russia over the past year.
There are no significant improvements in Europe in Europe. Somewhere, the Locks are extended , somewhere they introduce again, but there are at least two European countries that cannot solve this issue: Italy, because the new government has not yet been formed there, and the Czech Republic-because the opposition has finally quarreled with the government, and the parliament refused to extend the emergency, within which the government still established restrictions. Vaccination in the EU froze in anticipation of new batch of vaccinations.
Sincerely yours,
