The texts of the day

Why are the amendments on educational activities bad? Enlighteners themselves tell

The essence of the amendments is that from June 1, any educational activity will need to be coordinated with officials. The authors of the law believe that "anti -Russian forces under the guise of educational activities uncontrollably discredit the state policy of the Russian Federation." Probably, not only lecturers, but also Utuub bloggers, and even Wikipedia will fall under the law. We asked for mathematics, astrophysics, publisher N+1 and Wikipedia editors to explainhow amendments will affect their activities .

Twitter, against the backdrop of threats about blocking in Russia, began to demand the removal of old posts with inadvertible jokes

At first, Roskomnadzor began to slow down the work of the social network, later threatened to completely block if Twitter did not remove illegal content. Then the department began to demand blocking entire accounts (in particular, “MBH Media”) or individual tweets. As Medusa found out, at the same time Twitter began to demand that Russian users delete posts published several years ago - since they “violate the rules of the site”.

What is neo -Simanism and how is it dangerous?

This is often called the policy of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that is, his desire to make Turkey the leading regional power of the Middle East. In recent years, Türkiye has actively participated in the Syrian conflict, and also openly supported Azerbaijan in the war in Nagorno -Karabakh. In the new issue, we discuss whether Erdogan really dreams of the influence of the Ottoman Empire, which countries are in the area of ​​the interests of Turkey - and how Ankara’s nostalgia for a brilliant port could be caused by the collapse of the USSR.
