Torture and dances

Everything you need to know early in the morning of March 4

Good morning!

On February 23, in the city of Orenburg region, the young guard of “United Russia” solemnly laid flowers to the mass grave of the Hungarian prisoners of war as part of the “Protect the Memory of Heroes”. When they explained to them on which side Hungary fought in the Second World War, the defenders of the memory of the heroes were justified by “inattention”. Attention, news:

• Lawyers found Navalny in pre-trial detention center 3 of the city of Kolchugino, Vladimir Region. He dries crackers.
• Journalist Ilya Azar received 15 days of arrest and 150 rubles a fine for last year's posts on Facebook.
• The former Austria Foreign Minister, whose Putin was dancing at the wedding, will be included in the Rosneft board of directors.
• In Australia, pandemia gave rise to flights with an unknown destination.

Sukhari in Kolchugino

The lawyers of Alexei Navalny discovered their client in the pre-trial detention center of the city of Kolchugino, Vladimir Region and met with him. Judging by the post that he wrote for Instagram, his mood is normal: “Do not believe it, but we dry crackers, and I never thought that it could be so exciting. Now we have a competition of two kitchens: street food and molecular.” Street-Food school is represented by the Sozhammer of Navalny Dmitry (Article 158, “Theft”), the Molecular Cuisine School-Sergey (Article 159, “Fraud”). Navalny does not receive letters, he cannot use a stall to buy products, he also does not have access to the library. But in the walking courtyard there is a horizontal bar. Here Olga Romanova from “Rus Sitting” explains what stage is and where Navalny can go further (if not to the colony in Pokrov).

The US Trading USA - following the Ministry of Finance - announced its, trade, sanctions against Russian companies in connection with the persecution of Navalny. The main sanctions announced the day before ( their detailed analysis ) are the first stage : if Russia does not declare and does not destroy its chemical weapons, the second stage will follow (as the law dictates).

In Moscow, the court sent a Pichuzhin novel in a pre -trial detention center until April 20 - in the case of the use of violence against a police officer on the rally on January 31. Pichuzhin was detained at the exit of the special receiver, where he served 30 days for participating in the rally.

Instagram deleted 530 fake accounts from Russia engaged in the distraction of users from protest shares in support of Navalny and intimidating those who were going to participate in them.

Life of "foreign agents"

The Russian Ministry of Justice announced the “foreign agent” an independent trade union of the medical workers, the Alliance of Doctors. Its head of Anastasia Vasilieva is under the subscription about the bankruptcy bank with a prohibition of certain actions - she is accused of “sanitary business”. She claims that she did not receive any notifications from the Ministry of Justice and that this will not affect the work of the trade union.

People who were previously announced by foreign agents of various stripes, including the editor -in -chief of the regional independent newspaper Pskov Province, Denis Kamalyagin ( here's a conversation with him ) and human rights activist Lev Ponomarev , are suing the Russian Ministry of Justice.

The Tver court of Moscow rejects complaints of Radio Freedom to fines related to the status of "foreign agent" (there are many complaints, today the deviation will continue). The case is entrusted to the judge Krivoruchko - he is known for his contribution to the death of the auditor of the Hermitage Capital Foundation Sergei Magnitsky.

Other "enemies"

• Journalist Ilya Azar was sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest and a fine of 150 thousand rubles for two last year's post on Facebook. In one post, Azar wrote about the picket against amendments to the Constitution, in the other about the picket against the persecution of the former businessman “Kommersant” Ivan Safronov.
• The Medusa correspondent Ivan Kolunov posted a video of his detention mounted from personnel from video surveillance cameras. From the records it follows that the police were on duty at the house of Golunov in the morning, they knew exactly where he would go during the day, and prepared to detain the journalist in a particular place. The moment is visible when drugs are thrown.
• “Rosneft” sued the “new newspaper”, “important stories” and Bloomberg. What is the essence of the lawsuit is not yet clear, but “important stories” associate him with the publication on the purchase of a “Rosneft” share in the Italian tire giant Pirelli at the expense of pension funds and the transfer of shares close to the leadership through the Moscow Dance teacher.
• Entrepreneur Sergei Kotlyarenko sued Baza after the publication of the investigation that the 20-year-old daughter of former Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalova Maria received more than two billion rubles from Kotlyarenko.
• The son of the late NKVD employee filed an application with the police for Tomich Denis Karagodin. Karagodin achieved from the FSB and other Russian departments the right to get acquainted with the case of his great -grandfather, shot in 1938, and established the individuals of all those involved in this execution. Now the son of one of the involved claims that the investigation of Karagodin "discredits" the name of his father. Karagodin was even interrogated.

The powers of this world

• In Irkutsk, the head of colony No. 6 and the head of the Department of pre-trial detention center-1 were detained in connection with the torture of the prisoners, from which they tried to knock out the indications of the riot in the Angarsk colony last spring.

• The story of the palace of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia in Gelendzhik.

When the Patriarch comes to drink wine to his palace, children from the wing that looks at the palace is evicted.

The closest neighbors of Russia

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved a single Kiev time throughout the country, including the Donbass, and canceled the transition to summer and winter time.
• Kyrgyzstan. The parliament approved in the first reading a bill on a referendum under a new constitution, although no one saw its text. The court in Bishkek released from the colony a subscription about the non -passage of the criminal authority of Kamchybek Kolbaev (even the United States is concerned).
• Armenia. In relation to the ex-Prime Minister and leader of the opposition, Vazgen Manukyan, a criminal case has been instituted on the calls for a violent change in the existing system.

Around the world

• When attacking cold weapons in the Swedish city of Vetland, eight people were injured , one seriously. The case is investigated as a terrorist attack.
• The Party of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban "Fides" left the right -center European People's Party in the European Parliament, not waiting for it to be officially expelled. The UNP has made changes to its own rules, which opened the opportunity to exclude entire parties, and not just individual deputies. Requirements for the exclusion of “Fides” from the UNP in recent years have sounded more and more often. The UNP remains the largest force in the European Parliament and after the release of Fides.

Chronicles of Pandemia

According to the operational headquarters on the morning of Wednesdays, the daily increase in new cases of the Covid-19 in Russia fell to 10,535 (the day before there were 30 more cases). The number of infected in the country since the beginning of the epidemic amounted to 4 million 279 thousand. The official number of victims reached 87,348 people in the morning (+452 per day).

In St. Petersburg, the memorial was opened to doctors who died from Covid-19-this is the bronze sculpture of the “sad angel” of the St. Petersburg artist Roman Shustrov (in the spring he also died of Covid-19). The opening with the participation of Governor Beglov passed ahead of schedule and without the participation of the initiators of the creation of the memorial. The widow of Shustrov was lured to the ceremony with deception.

Vaccination in the regions of Russia is by no means as successful as in Moscow: the governor of Transbaikalia tried to sign up for the vaccine, but he could not name the date (because there was nothing to prick).

The 200 thousand doses of the “companion V” who arrived in Slovakia caused not only the political crisis , but also indignation from Ukraine: when the radio host asked the Slovak Prime Minister Matovich that he promised Putin in exchange for the vaccine, Matovich answered : “Ukrainian Transcarpathia”. The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has already explained that it is better not to joke (but Hungarians can also explain that it is better not to “trade” Matovich to “trade” their historical lands).

Lokdown in Germany was extended until March 28. In Australia, there is no Locksuan, but the boundaries are closed - to stimulate domestic tourism, the Qantas airline launches flights with an unknown destination.

For thirsty knowledge - detailed and understandable explanations about vaccine immunity plus funny torment that to call mutations of coronavirus “British”, “South African”, etc. Inadvertently (a large group of WHO experts is already working on the problem).
