Evening Medusa
The court upheld the real term for Navalny. The third Russian vaccine from coronavirus was registered. Why is Putin quoted Leo Gumilyov
Good evening,
This is the daily newsletter "Medusa" about the most important news of the day. Yes, infrequently we have releases on Saturdays! But let's better about good: firstly, there are three days off ahead. And secondly, in the United States for the first time cloned the endangered species of animals-a black ferret. In 1979, scientists generally thought that they were not left in nature. The cloned female is the name Elizabeth Anne. Look how sweet she is!

Pulse
The main thing is in the day - as short as possible
Alexei Navalny had two ships at once. At first, he was upheld by the real term in the case of Yves Rocher (though he was reduced by a month and a half). And then in the case "On the slander of the veteran" was sentenced to a fine of 850 thousand rubles. Rospotrebnadzor recorded the world's first infection of a human flu virus H5N8. The Moscow prosecutor's office warned of the inadmissibility of calls for mass protests - although no one called for anything. The Moscow police began to patrol the bridge where Nemtsov was killed, and several people who tried to lay flowers were detained. In Norilsk, a workshop collapsed at a mountainous processing factory. There are dead. Rover Persevens sent the first color photographs from Mars. Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West.
The texts of the day
Of course, this is again the last word of Navalny
In his speech, the politician quoted the Bible, the “philosophers” of the twilight Lovegud from Harry Potter and Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty (“Life is a risk”). He also called on to change his famous slogan “Russia will be free” to “Russia will be happy”:
It is necessary to fight not so much with the fact that Russia is not free, but with the fact that in general it is unhappy in all directions. Russia is constantly ... We have everything, but nevertheless we are some kind of unhappy country. Open Russian literature, great Russian literature - and you will be amazed: God, some descriptions of misfortunes and suffering. We are a very unhappy country. We are in a circle of misfortunes and cannot break out of it. Of course, I want, and therefore I propose to change the slogan - not only Russia should be free, but Russia should be happy. Russia will be happy. I have everything.
More precisely, the last two words
In the last word, in a court in the case of “slander on the veteran,” Navalny pointed out that, on the one hand, the state helps the veteran Ignat Artemenko, and on the other, all the help: that’s all the help: all the help:
Over the past four years, he ... three times received certificates for industrial goods, once - a set of products, and three times he received a certificate for products. <...> The total cost of these certificates for four years is approximately 11 thousand rubles. That's all your care, e-mine, about the veteran, you understand, you are hypocritical!
The oppositionist also accused the authorities that they used the veteran of Ignat Artemenko “like a doll”, and wished them to “burn in hell” for it. Completely audio recording of Navalny’s speech was published “Open Media” .
Soon we will have a report from two court sessions. Do not miss!
We talked with an activist who was beaten after he announced the opening of Navalny’s headquarters in Makhachkala
Ruslan Ablyakimov was beaten on the evening of February 19, a few hours after the imminent opening of Navalny’s headquarters in Dagestan was announced. Before that, they watched the activist. Ablyakimov talked with Medusa about his path in politics, about the attack-and about what the supporters of Navalny in the region, which the politician himself once demanded to stop “feeding”, has to deal with.
Coronavirus

Putin, in particular, spoke to them about the capture of Constantinople “barbarians”, “the geopolitical project“ Ukraine ”” and “the march of development” of Russia. What does all this mean?

Picture of the day
It seems that we all should learn optimism from Alexei Navalny
The Moscow City Court upheld the real term of imprisonment. True, I decided to take into account in the verdict a month and a half, which Navalny spent under house arrest. Thus, the politician will stay in the colony for two years, six months and two weeks.
We hope that you are also fine, your "Medusa"
