Smart sheep haircut

Everything you need to know early in the morning of July 15

Good morning!

In the Kurgan region, after worship, a cattle was opened . In a solemn speech, the local unineross deputy promised "a lot of blood" and "ideal conditions for the animals to go to a bright future-to feed people." The outlines of this bright future look like this:

• WHO announced the beginning of the third World Wave Pandemia. In Russia, a new record of daily mortality from Covid-19 has been noted.
• The court in Murmansk authorized the compulsory hospitalization at the Covid Hospital of the ex-head of the headquarters of Navalny Violetta Grudina (she does not have a Covid).
• After mass searches, more than ten people were detained in Belarus after mass searches.
• The Taliban captured a key border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Chronicles of Pandemia

According to the operational headquarters on the morning of Wednesdays, the daily increase in new Covid-19 cases in Russia amounted to 23,827. The number of 857 thousand infected in the country since the beginning of the pandemic. According to this indicator, Russia reached fourth in the world after the USA, India and Brazil. The official number of victims reached 145,278 people in the morning (+796 per day, and this is again a record ). Against this background, the WHO announced the beginning of the third global wave of the pandemic.

Against the background of the growth of incidence (it is now growing mainly in the regions , and not in the capitals), the authorities of Tuva banned the work of catering and public transport on weekends. The struggle for general vaccination in different regions is also conducted in different ways: in Moscow they are going to conduct online voting about compulsory vaccination, and in the Belgorod region doctors are simply paid for each vaccinated (guess where the share of vaccinated more). Vaccination is often refused HIV-positive Russians, although this is wrong and illegal.

In France and Greece, mass protests were held against compulsory vaccination. However, in France there was only one announcement that restaurants would cease to be allowed without a vaccination certificate, so that almost two million people would record a vaccine .

Russia announced the resumption of regular air traffic with France and the Czech Republic since July 24, but ordinary Russian tourists will not yet allow these countries.

Towards the election

The company "Wolintertraid" from the Stavropol Territory, which specializes in the trade in sheep wool, began to draw up the rights to the Smart Voting trademark. The CEC also explained who the sheep is and who the shepherd is: access to surveillance cameras installed in the areas is now closed for ordinary citizens. Only the election committees of all levels, parties, their observers and candidates will be able to observe the stuffing, and the latter - only on their site. One of these lucky ones will be the head of the Russia without corruption party, Putin’s cousin Roman Putin (he self -moving in St. Petersburg). Morality is clear: Putin is a bulk, and a smart vote is a sheep haircut.

Independent candidates continue to arise different difficulties. The former head of Navalny’s headquarters in Murmansk Violetta Grudin, the court forcibly hospitalized the Covid hospital in the lawsuit of Rospotrebnadzor, despite the negative test for Koronavirus. In addition, a criminal case was instituted against her violation of sanitary standards ( here this long history is presented with all the details). The reason is that the sternum wants to get a deputy of the City Council. What to do so that it all ended is also clear: it was worth only the Moscow municipal deputy Konstantin Yankauskas to abandon the plans to election to the State Duma, asaccusations on the “sanitary case” were removed from him.

In St. Petersburg, collectors of signatures for the Libertarian and the Nationalist who advanced the Legislative Assembly were detained : they are charged with the article “Unauthorized occupation of the land plot” (which means the sidewalk in the city center).

Leading and guide line oppressed itself

The activist from Saratov, who was walking along Red Square in a T -shirt with the inscription “Freedom Navalny”, was arrested for 10 days for re -violation of the rules of the public event (the first violation was apparently that earlier in Saratov they burned a car, on the glass of which there was the same inscription). Here the Yekaterinburg political scientist Fedor Krasheninnikov, now living in Vilnius, tells how much this will continue.

The Moscow Arbitration Court fully satisfied Rosneft’s lawsuit and ordered the publication of “important stories” to delete and refute the material called “Dancer for Rosneft”, dedicated to the scheme for buying a share in Pirelli through a Moscow dance teacher. The court did not take into account the fact that the purchase of Rosneft in Piralli was reported by all information agencies, as well as Pirelli itself.

Russian athletes received a memo from the Olympic Committee of the Russian Federation on how to behave in Tokyo and how to correctly answer the “provocative” questions of journalists about the Crimea, Donbass, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Harassment (we must say that the sport is outside the policy, and no one personally came across discrimination).

Putin’s spokesman Peskov announced that the decision of the ECHR that Russia is obliged to introduce the same-sex unions in one form or another is impossible, because it contradicts the Constitution. Here, applicants, according to whose complaints, the ECHR made this decision, talk about their reaction to victory (they evaluate it as a symbolic, but at the same time as historical).

Historians continue to disassemble and comment on Putin's Opus about the unity of Russians and Ukrainians. Nikolai Svanidze is lamented that Putin’s unhealthy interest in history will finally destroy historical science in Russia.

Russian criminalism

• The former deputy head of the Yaroslavl colony No. 1, in which the prisoners were tortured, awarded compensation in the amount of 575 thousand rubles. Earlier, Igit Mikhailov was justified in the torture case.

Belarus: Tomorrow they will come for everyone

• In several cities of Belarus , mass searches were held among human rights activists related to the Center “Vesna”, the Belarusian Helsinki Committee, the Belarusian Association of Journalists, the Gender Prospects Center, etc. More than ten people were detained. The representative of the Belarusian non -governmental organization "Legal Initiative" Sergey Ustinov characterizes what is happening as a "stripping of civil society." He believes that human rights defenders do not make sense in Belarus (he himself managed to evacuate to Ukraine). Political scientist Ekaterina Shmatina does not think that the new surge of repression is somehow connected with the meeting between Putin and Lukashenko in St. Petersburg, but admits that the Kremlin encourages Lukashenko’s “hard line”.
• The publication "Our Niva" stopped working in Belarus for security reasons-the journalistic team will restore the site from abroad.

A new term was given for “the use of violence in relation to an internal affairs officer” based on the conflict in the colony, where Zolotarev is serving a deadline. Nikita Zolotarev suffers from epilepsy; During the investigation, he told his father that he was beaten daily.
• According to the Belorussian SK, the Russian Yegor Dudnikov arrested in Minsk pleaded guilty to “Organization of actions grossly violating public order” (he voiced several videos for the opposition).

In Europe

The editors are required by the country's prime minister Irakli Garibashvili and the punishment of everyone who attacked peaceful demonstrators and journalists in Tbilisi on July 5 and 6.
• The European Commission has presented a plan to combat climate change. In particular, it provides for a ban on the sale of gasoline and diesel machines since 2035. As expected, its full approval will take about two years. Most likely, poor countries will resist this plan, and environmentalists will criticize it for insufficient radicalism.
• European conservatives, nationalists and Euroskeptics have announced the plans of the unification in order to withstand the “excessive moralizing activity” of the EU.
• The authorities of Italy forbade crucifying liners to enter the center of Venice. The restriction will come into force on August 1. This has long been achieved by residents of the city, environmentalists and defenders of historical heritage.
