And then yourself. The Special Corps of Medusa Irina Kravtsova went to Berdsk to understand what made Catherine take such a step - and then talked with other parents of children with serious violations to find out how they live .

Only six months ago, Navalny was free, and Medusa was not recognized as an “ino -agent”. Here is a brief chronicle of the last (terrible) months

Alexei Navalny was detained immediately after he returned to Russia, and a little later sentenced to a real prison term. After that, the authorities defeated the structures associated with Navalny, and began an unprecedented pressure campaign for activists, human rights activists and independent media. And news from Russia became almost impossible to distinguish from news from Belarus.This is what happened in these six months .

How Germany is experiencing a strong flood, during which more than 100 people died

In mid -July, the strongest rain was held in several European countries at once. Germany was especially injured: more than 160 people were killed due to flooding, dozens of people are still considered missing. At the request of Medusa, journalist Irina Chevtaeva, who lives in Germany, tells how the country copes with the consequences of floods - on the example of one city in one of the most affected regions, the land of the North Rhine - Westphalia.

PEGASUS is a spy program for surveillance of terrorists. But the authorities of several countries used it against journalists and human rights activists

This is stated in a high -profile investigation, on which 17 journalistic groups worked immediately (including The Guardian and The Washington Post). Edward Snowden even calls him the "history of the year." More than 50 thousand people from 50 countries could potentially become victims of surveillance. Among the goals are companies, human rights activists, politicians, officials and journalists. In particular, close to the murdered journalist Jamal Khashogji.
