The main thing is in the day - by points

• Former police officers accused in the case of Ivan Golunovreceived from 5 to 12 years in a colony . Read the statement of the Medusa editorial office about why the sentence does not cause any sense of the celebration of justice.

• According to Kommersant, during the interrogations of Sergei Furgal his facial expressions and gestures were analyzed using computer programs. This convinced the investigation of his guilt .
• The International Civil Aviation Organization will conduct an investigation into a forced landing of the aircraft in Minsk. The head of Ryanair called the reports of the Belarusian authorities about the incident "false and inaccurate."
• Under Orenburg, school students brought posters to the line with requests for repairs. One of the parents was accused of "involving minors in rallies."

The texts of the day

Did Roman Protasevich fight in the Donbass in the Azov battalion - and what does this have to do with his business?

Disputes about whether Roman Protasevich is only a journalist and activist or really fought with a weapon in his hands in the Donbass as part of the Azov battalion for several days - since his detention in Minsk. So far, only one thing is obvious: Protasevich was in the Donbass, was related to Azov and posed with weapons in his hands . But the main thing is that all the disputes about whether he fought or not in the “Azov” in Ukraine, little is added to the current accusations of the Belarusian authorities against him.

What is now known about the Russian woman Sofier Sapieja and her case, detained with Protasevich,

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Sapega is charged with crimes committed “from August to September 2020”, when large -scale protest promotions began in Belarus after the presidential election. In the video published in the pro-government Belorussian telegram channel, Sapega herself says that he is the editor of the Black Book of Belarus, which publishes the personal data of the security forces. However, officially the charges of the Russian woman have not yet been brought. We have collected everything that is currently known about the case of Sophia Sapieha .

The mother of a first -grader from Kazan claims that her son is suspected of terrorism

Stephen Timerkhanov, along with his mother, was next to the Kazan gymnasium No. 175 during the attack. The parents of Steve's classmates called the child to find the child in the place of jokes and complained to the minors' commission. The applicants also asked to pay attention to the fact that at school a boy often plays games “based on shooting” - and a few days after the joke came to school with a machine drawn on his hand. The first -grader’s mother assures that the charges are even more serious. He is supposedly considered a terrorist and accomplice of the attack. We tried to figure out this strange story .

The State Duma forbade lawyers to bring phones, cameras and voice recorders to prisons - and this is very bad

The State Duma adopted a law prohibiting "to bring technical means of communication, as well as technical means (devices) to the territory of a correctional institution, which allow filming, audio and video recording." Now evidence of torture (but not torture itself) in Russian prisons will be less. Even the Supreme Court opposed the law, but this did not help. We tell how the deputies substantiated the need for new restrictions (very strange), what exactly will become worse - and what will happen if lawyers refuse to fulfill these rules .

Coronavirus

• Sergei Sobyanin said that the situation in Moscow stabilized : there were fewer sick and hospitalized. But the mayor called the level of incidence itself high.
• The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation decided to refuse to test the combination of vaccines Astrazeneca and "satellite V" .
• Rospotrebnadzor recommended that people who have been ill with Covid-19 still be vaccinated . In March, we had a analysis of this topic .

Podkast "What happened"

The program of the preferential mortgage led to the fact that the housing has risen in price, and the developers hooked on the budget needle. What to do next?

The head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina and the head of Sberman German Gref are sure that the preferential mortgage, which was introduced last year, needs to be turned off. Otherwise, there is a risk of a credit bubble in the real estate market. In the new episode of the podcast “What happened” we say with the head of the Committee on the Analytics of the Russian Guild of Managers and Developers Mikhail Khorkov - and we are trying to find out why the preferential mortgage has not raised, but reduced the availability of housing in Russia. Is it not a bubble of what has already happened on the market? And what will happen when he bursts?

Photo of the day

This is a project of the new Museum of the Armed Forces. He will be twice as much as the Louvre

The project was presented to Vladimir Putin by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu. The museum is planned to be built in the Patriot Park near Moscow - in the same place where the main temple of the Ministry of Defense is located. The area of ​​the complex of structures in the form of a star will be almost 150 thousand square meters. It is planned to set 740 thousand exhibits in the museum.

For some reason, I want more to the Louvre than the Museum of the Armed Forces, your "Medusa"
