The texts of the day

The FSB counted 90 thousand people at the January rallies - this is nine times higher than the data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We received a secret report

Employees of the Department of Military Counterintelligence (DVKR) were engaged in calculations. Such a task - to calculate the real number of Supporters of Navalny - was set up for the first time. The FSB summary also has data on the detentions: about 12 thousand people were detained on shares on January 23 and 31. This is even more than the OVD-Info rating (9.5 thousand). The report also has a section on the participation in the protests of the military personnel of the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Guard. It is alleged that some of them protested directly in the form - to quickly and easier to quit the contract service.

How Kamchatka Crab got into the Barents Sea and why local residents hate it (and love)

They tried to bring Kamchatka crab from the Far East to the Barents Sea for almost 30 years, but it was possible to do this only in the early 1960s. Soon the crab was bred-and strongly: in 2007 it was allowed to catch in an industrial way. Neighboring Norway calls the idea of ​​importing crabs harmful to the environment, and the crustaceans themselves - the "Red Army of Stalin." The Murmansk residents compare a crab with a weed that “burns everything in its path” and because of which, for example, the cod has nothing to eat. The Special Corps of Medusa Andrei Pertsev went to the Murmansk region to figure out what the locals love and hate crabs for. And why border guards hate even more.

Coronavirus

The head of the European Agency for Medicines (EMA) compared the "satellite V" with the Russian roulette. The creators of the vaccine required apologies

The Chairman of the Board of EM Kristumer-Hoch on the air of the Austrian ORF Austrian television channel answered the question of whether Austria should approve the use of “satellite V” before the resolution of EMA. She recommended not to do this, referring to the lack of data about the vaccine. The developers of the vaccine demanded apologies and noted that before EMA did not allow such statements about any other vaccine. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the Virtumer-Hoch statement "at least incorrect."

Podkast "What happened"

How is the Kremlin going to win in the elections to the State Duma - given the falling ratings of United Russia and Smart Voting?

At the end of November last year, only 29% of Russians were ready to vote for the party.

In this issue of the podcast, we are talking about a difficult vote for the Kremlin with political scientist Andrei Kolesnikov.

Thousands of starlings went astray into a flock in the form of a huge bird - to scare away predators

This picture was taken by the photographer James Crombi in early March over Lake Loch Ennel in Central Ireland. Squorses gather in such huge flocks (up to 700 thousand birds) before nesting. A similar flock is traditionally called Murmuration of Starlings, that is, “rustle” or “whisper of the starlings” (from a characteristic sound of wings).
