24-year-old Lada Malova has been sitting in a colony for more than four years. The girl developed several serious diseases at once, but she is not released

Malova at the age of 17 became the Dvach star, shooting a video how she uses drugs. In 2015, she was detained for the storage and attempt to sell drugs. The girl claims to be a victim of a provocation by the operatives. Malova received eight years. In the colony, she was ill with coronavirus, and in May 2020 she found sarcoidosis - a deadly inflammatory disease. They did not provide medical care in the colony, and due to the conflict with the head of one of the detachments, she lost the opportunity to claim parole .

Former leaders of the French IKEA are judged by spying for workers and customers

15 people were on the bench. The criminal case covers the period of 2009-2012, but judging by the correspondence of one of the accused, the company has practiced surveillance since the early 2000s . We monitored the members of the trade unions, potential work candidates and customers who had legal disagreements with the company. The object of surveillance could become, for example, an employee with a small salary who bought a new convertible. About 500-600 thousand euros were spent on illegal data collection.

The leadership of the book fair Non/Fiction canceled the presentation of the book of spokesman Alexei Navalny Kira Yarmysh. Fair participants are discussing boycott

With a request to cancel the presentation, the management of Non/Fiction turned to the publishers of the book. According to the editor of Corpus, Varvara Gornostaeva, the leadership argued the request by the desire to "keep the fair at all costs." Yarmysh herself called the decision to cancel the presentation “vile and cowardly” and politically motivated. Famous writers and critics (in particular, Boris Akunin and the critic of Medusa Galina Yuzefovich) condemned the decision of Non/Fiction. The writer Oleg Lexmanov refused to present his book. Other participants in the fair, on the contrary, did not boycott non/fiction, but actively talk about the book of Yarmys at their events

By the way, we had a review by Galina Yuzefovich on this book , which is called “Incredible incidents in the female chamber No. 3”.

Analytics of the day

Putin’s trip and Shoigu to the taiga - this is not just a trip to the taiga

If you believe the headlines of the media loyal to the Kremlin, then this is also a brilliant victory. More precisely, as many as three victories. So, firstly, Putin impressed Western partners-and again washed Biden. Secondly, he frightened the Russian elite and hinted at the successor. Well, thirdly, I left Biden a veiled message, and the journalists deciphered it. The fall of a falling list acted as a message.
