The texts of the day

When it was decided that Dmitry Medvedev would not go to the Duma

The interlocutors of Medusa are called only “humiliation” and the very fact of Medvedev’s non -inclusion in the federal list of “United Russia”, and what Putin announced about this. A source close to the leadership of United Russia said that the party elite found out that the party chairman would not lead him, only on the eve of the congress . And Medvedev himself-two or three days before him. As a result, the first number in the top five was the Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu. Denis Protsenko, head physician of the hospital in Kommunarka, also got into the list, who repeatedly rejected the assumptions that he would run for. According to him, he agreed after Putin's call .

How musicians fight for human rights and change the world - from The Beatles and Nirvana to Shevchuk

All of June at Medusa, the Marathon “Summer Agents” is taking place. We conceived it primarily as a musical gift to our readers, but we will not be cunning: this is also a way to pay attention to the situation with “foreign agents” and independent media in Russia. At first, we were surprised that among the first to support Medusa were musicians. But history proves that it is often the musicians who react more sharply to injustice. Medusa photo editor Evgeny Feldman chose several such examples , and the musical observer Alexander Filimonov told about them.

How the Russian government has become the “chief editor” of public speech and now plants its interpretation of events and names

Not annexation, but reunion; not a politician, but an extremist; Not the media, but a foreign agent - the authorities every day form a politically true (as it seems to them) language that turns into an external sign of loyalty. The editor of the “Ideas” section Maxim Trudolyubov tells how his special “political correctness” develops in Russia , which is its main difference from the Western prototype - and what the authorities involuntarily demonstrate, fighting the “wrong” language.

Coronavirus

What do we know about the version of the delta, because of which Russia is experiencing an unprecedented surge in the pandemic

The Coronavirus Delta Variant captured Russia and squeezed even a “British” strain (or alpha) known by its infection. Apparently, it is Delta that we must “thank” the current sharp outbreak of incidence and an increase in the number of hospitalizations. We tell everything that scientists know about this option today : how did it come from, what is its share in Russia, how heavier the disease passes and how much the delta version is more contrary to, whether the vaccines are effective against it-and much more.

Argentina previously received the “satellite V” and instilled millions of inhabitants, but only the first dose. But the second of Russia has not yet been brought

The Russian vaccine began to be used in Argentina before other vaccines: the first parties arrived on December 24, 2020. Since then, almost eight million units of the first component of the vaccine have received the country - and only a little more than one and a half million units of the second component. Many Argentines are waiting for the injection with a second dose - the break between them in Argentina is 12 weeks - but the promised deliveries from Russia have not profit , the La Nacion local newspaper reports, and production on the spot has not yet been established.

If you do not want to vaccinate, please tell us why . What worries you? And what would you like to know about vaccines? We will try to answer the most popular and important questions

Podkast "What happened"

Why did our forecast about Medvedev at the head of the United Russia list not come true? Short answer: Putin is afraid of competition even with his

In today's issue, just like on Saturdays, we speak with the Medusa specialist Andrei Pertsev and political observer Konstantin Haaza. We are discussing how Putin violated the rules by which the Russian system of power lives, and how the president’s personal interests conflict with the interests of his constructed regime. And why the forecasts of many political scientists (including Pertsev and Haaz) were not justified regarding Medvedev.

And how is the Russian team?

We count the layouts before the game with Denmark

If you have been watching football for a long time, then you know that this is practically a tradition - to consider points before the last match in the group at the European or World championship. Now the table of group B leads Belgium with six points. Three points in Russia and Finland. Dania has zero. In this euro in the playoffs, you can even get out of the third place. One hundred percent guarantee for the 1/8 finals gives a victory over Denmark, but there are options for both a draw, and even with damage - but in the latter case, a very large number of conditions are needed.

We hope for a miracle - both in the match with the Danes, and in general. Your "Medusa"
