The texts of the day

In 2014, the election of the mayor of Novosibirsk was won by the communist Anatoly Lokot. Perhaps soon they will stop choosing mayors in the city

The Special Corps of "Medusa" Andrei Pertsev tells how Locky managed to come to power with the help of the coalition of all the opposition forces of the region - and how this coalition broke up over time, and people gradually disappointed in their choice. Playing, including on this disappointment, the authorities were able to regain control of one of the largest cities in the country . Sources of Medusa believe that soon the elbow can resign and become a deputy of the State Duma, and Novosibirsk can be left without the mayor’s elections and go to the appointed city managers.

In Russia, industrial hemp was quietly legalized. But the security forces still suspect the hemp from the drug dealer

At the beginning of 2020, the government allowed everyone to grow industrial hemp. The main condition is that it should be no more than 0.1% of the psychoactive substance. After that, the Russian market of industrial and consumer goods began to grow accelerated pace. A hemp tea has become especially popular. Activists began to be especially actively complaining about the latter, and online stores decided to refuse to sell it. Although tea has no narcotic effect and is completely legal. The police do not even convince documents about the absence of narcotic substances that the police themselves give out. At least one merchant of this tea is now in a pre -trial detention center.
