Most of the arsenal “Arrow from the Veshki” turned out to be legal, and grenades were airsoft. The detention operation was delayed due to the competition between the security forces

On March 30, the security forces came to 61-year-old Vladimir Bardanov for routine checks. It was a standard raid in the house of a suspicious weapon collector, and the operatives did not expect resistance. As Medusa Special Corps found out Maxim Solopov, soon a detachment of the thunder police special forces was ready for the assault - but everyone was forced to wait for almost two hours to wait for the Bulat special forces of the Russian Guard. The special forces have their own “stick system”, and special forces compete for these “sticks”. Here's what we learned about the assault on the house in the suburbs from sources in power structures

In the Rostov region, Archpriest Andrei Nemkin committed suicide. He experienced severe pain due to oncological disease

The body of a 55-year-old clergyman with a gunshot was found by a wife. He was completely vested, with medals and orders that he was awarded during the military service: Nemkin passed the Afghan war and other hot spots. Archpriest was considered one of the most famous priests of the Don Metropolis and worked closely with power structures. According to the Rostov edition, 161.ru, in a dying note, Nemkin wrote that he could no longer endure pain. The diocese said that the archpriest had difficulty moving and taking strong painkillers - but suicide was called "egregious mistake."

Coronavirus

American researchers have studied whether vaccinated can become asymptomatic infections

Short answer: It seems not. Vaccines suppress not only the disease, but also the reproduction of the virus in those who have not yet felt the symptoms or completely do without them. But this answer is still not final, and it is better even after vaccination to wear masks. The research editor of Medusa Alexander Ershov tells more about the research.

The main problem in Russia is the reluctance of people to vaccinate. How does the state solve this problem?

By the end of March, only about 4.5% of the population or 6.3 million Russians were vaccinated. Previously, a “narrow place” was a lack of a vaccine, but recently the pace of production has been growing. The problem remains a low level of trust in vaccines. To change the situation, in April, the authorities will begin an advertising campaign. As Medusa found out , on Russian television channels (at once on “all buttons”), rollers will be released in support of mass vaccination as such - without the names of the drugs. Removes and promotes their ANO “National Priorities”, which is also conducted by the Stopkoronavirus.rf project.

Podkast "What happened"

How Vladimir Putin was protected from coronavirus - and more than six billion rubles were spent on it

Putin was not vaccinated for a long time - perhaps because he already felt safe: the President’s management was quarantined all who contacted him. Journalists of the Kremlin pool, ministers, veterans, and heads of state corporations were placed in hotels, sanatoriums and boarding houses, which, incidentally, belong to the presidential administrations. The guest of today's output of the podcast is Anna Pushkarskaya, a journalist of the Russian BBC Service, who spoke about this system.

Photo of the day

That Belarusian photographers take off in an attempt to comprehend a new reality after mass protests

There have been no major actions in Belarus since the beginning of winter. At the same time, the repressions did not stop: the security forces haunt not only opposition citizens, but also journalists who talk about what is happening. Belarusian photographers refuse to work on the streets, leave the country or publish under a pseudonym. Many of them are now experiencing a feeling of powerlessness. We recorded 13 monologues and published 13 works of photographers .
