The texts of the day

How the wives of priests cope with domestic violence - and why the church cannot help them

Priests, by definition, should be an example of a good Christian, a caring husband and a reliable father. Their wives believe that they must come to terms, endure and forgive; Until the last, they do not want to “take out the sides of the hut” and hope not for secular power, but for church hierarchs. And only having received protection against them, they apply to the police or court. Not every priest’s wife is faced with domestic violence, but there are a lot of such women. The Special Corps of Medusa Irina Kravtsova tells the stories of three mothers - Lyubov, Elizabeth and Eugene, who decided to resist violence and tried to completely change their lives.

Navalny's associates talked about the salaries of RT employees, most of which are only busy criticizing Navalny. They receive millions of rubles a year

The Corruption Foundation (recognized in Russia by a “foreign agent”), according to its employees, received the staffing of Russia Today. The FBC said that they compared the numbers with other sources and "made sure they were true." It turned out that Lesya Ryabtseva receives 368 thousand rubles a month, the son of Rosneft spokesman Mikhail Leontyev Mitya Leontyev-444 thousand a month, and the former deputy chief of the Moscow headquarters Vitaly Seerukanov-754 thousand a month. RT editor Margarita Simonyan has already promised to increase salaries to the "children whose data was leaked to the network."

Coronavirus

In Russia, the third wave of coronavirus began. This was written by Bloomberg with reference to unofficial government statistics

According to the agency, the beginning of the third wave testifies, in particular, that in Moscow for six thousand new cases of coronavirus daily for six thousand consecutive days. The average number of infections in the city in seven days has reached the maximum since January. The Kremlin is trying to restrain a new wave and at the same time not to introduce new restrictions. Everything is complicated by the fact that people are in no hurry to vaccinate : they do not believe vaccines, but believe the authorities who speak of the victory over the Covid. The Kremlin said that unofficial statistics of the government do not exist. In Rospotrebnadzor - that there is no third wave .

And another news about coronavirus:

Russia will send emergency humanitarian aid to India to combat the flash of incidence. They will also be sent the drug Favipiralir, the effectiveness of which has not been proven .

Podkast "What happened"

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin believes that the regions of Russia should be enlarged. Regionalist Natalya Zubarevich replies: this is nonsense. And what to do with them?

There should be fewer regions in Russia, they must be enlarged, said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin. In the early 2000s, this has already happened, and, as a rule, residents of the annexed regions lost. And recent attempts to enhance met resistance - this was, for example, in 2020 with the Arkhangelsk region and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

We speak with the regionalist Natalya Zubarevich:

- Why do Moscow want to reduce the number of subjects of the Federation?

- Maybe it would really benefit the regions?

- Is there an optimal size of the subject of the federation?
