The texts of the day
Yes, the global world breaks up. But Russia is not the only participant in the World "Parade of Sovereignty" and is unlikely to become America or China
In the “Ideas” section, the political scientist from Berlin Alena Epifanova tells how the Russian “sovereign project” differs from Chinese or American . At the level of declarations, Russia strives for global leadership and the protection of the interests of its own citizens, but with both of them it is somehow not very good at the exit. And what really happens?
Journalists of Project told Medusa what they were looking for and what the police were interrogated about
Yesterday morning, the police came to the employees of the Project publication - they conducted searches from the editor -in -chief of Roman Badanin, his first deputy Mikhail Rubin and correspondent Maria Zholobova, after which they asked them. We talked with all three project journalists about what could cause the interests of the security forces, what questions they were asked by the police and how the publication plans to work further.
June in Europe is a “month of pride”. In Russia, LGBT people continue to humiliate, pursue and cripple
Exactly eight years ago, on June 30, 2013, the law on gay propaganda entered into force-homophobia supported by the state has only intensified over the years. Nezhometroosexual Russians regularly become objects of aggression, to which the authorities actually be incited. This leads to different consequences: to violence on the basis of homophobia, the persecution of LGBT activists, censorship and even self-censorship .
Coronavirus
We analyze the new arguments of opponents of vaccination. They are very convincing if you forget school mathematics
The first argument: mortality among vaccinated almost an order of magnitude exceeds mortality among unvaccinated (at least with infection with a variant of delta). The second argument: for every six lives saved by vaccines, there are four heavy side effects taken by them. Therefore, it is necessary to revise the vaccination policy. Moreover, these data did not come from from somewhere, but from the English government research and articles in the international referred magazine-and sound quite convincingly. Until you read our analysis .
On Wikipedia there is an epic "war of the Rights" about the origin of the virus. Perhaps it will never end - but this is normal
One of the main issues of our time - where did the new coronavirus come from? Recently, the version is gaining strength that it was created artificially and escaped out of the laboratory in Ujan. However, there are no references to this version in the main English-language article of the Wikipedia about Covid-19: supporters of the “natural” hypothesis are still won in endless disputes of vulture editors. These disputes reach such an intensity that editors are already spending more time on them than writing the articles of the encyclopedia and the right to them.
Other news about coronavirus:
- Roskomnadzor blocked 19 sites that generated fake QR codes to visit Moscow restaurants.
- Kommersant spoke about the problems of foreigners with obtaining QR codes in Moscow . Difficulties even among those who were vaccinated with a “companion”.
- Kim Jong -un announced a “serious incident” in the field of healthcare of the DPRK - without specifying what it was about. Officially, there is no coronavirus in the country.
- Guatemala demanded that Russia return money for the satellite V vaccine due to a delay in supplies. RDPI promised to send new doses of vaccines this week.
- Director Vadim Shatrov died . He shot clips for MakSim and Dmitry Malikov.
Podkast "What happened"
It is now much more difficult to get to the patriarchal ponds - all thanks to the activity of local residents. What is bad in such activity?
In Moscow, the entrance to the patriarchal ponds in the evenings at the weekend for all drivers, except living in the area, is limited. This is a response to the complaints of local residents dissatisfied with the noise and traffic jams, and an exceptional example for Russia for how residents of the district can affect the establishment of rules in the place where they live. But this example is rather negative. Why? We are talking about this case about the informal rules by which Russian cities live with urbanist Alexei Radchenko.

Interview of the day
The Rain TV channel went to visit the Great Russian Cat Schlepe. We envy colleagues!
Shlepa (and in fact Gosha) became known thanks to memes about war crimes and mint gingerbread. In the west it is called Big Floppa. The Rain correspondent, Maria Borzunova, found out that Shlepa is actually a large Ukrainian cat from a Kiev shelter. And also - that he is very kind and affectionate. True, issues about war crimes were never raised. Omission!
I wanted mint gingerbread, your "Medusa"
