Evening Medusa

FBK* officially ceased to exist. Biden promised not to redo other countries by force. We talk about the new album of Kanye West

Good evening,

This message (material) was created and (or) widespread by a foreign media that performs the functions of a foreign agent, and (or) a Russian legal entity that performs the functions of a foreign agent

This is the daily Medusa newsletter about the most important thing that happened during the day. And the day is special today - September 1. On the occasion of the beginning of the new academic year, Vladimir Putin held an open lesson in the Ocean Children's Center in Vladivostok. Two interesting discussions took place. One of the schoolchildren corrected the president when he confused the Northern War with the seven years (the school principal later said that it is impossible to behave with the president and you must be more modest). And the other student asked Putin to subscribe to his channel in Yetube, which also put the president into difficulty. “What should be signed? Sign what do you need? I didn't understand what I should sign? " - said Putin.

It seems that today it is especially appropriate to ask: subscribe to our newsletter and share the link in social networks or messenger.

The texts of the day

How to vote in the elections to the State Duma via the Internet? And will my voice be stolen?

There are less than three weeks left before the State Duma. Some Russians, namely residents of Moscow, Sevastopol, Kursk, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov and Yaroslavl regions will be able to vote over the Internet. What systems are used for this? Are they generally safe? Will the authorities be able to find out how this or that person voted? We understand our cards .

We talk about the tenth album of Kanye West "Donda", which came out last Sunday

If you missed everything, we briefly recall the course of events. At first, Kanye West appeared in public in a deaf Balaklava, then arranged a presentation of the album for his own in Las Vegas, where he acted as a pastor, then at the stadium in Atlanta, after which he remained there to live there. Then he flew on cables and performed with Marilyn Manson, after which he set fire to himself and again married Kim Kardashian. And only now the album itself came out, which the rapper announced for so long. The longest in the career of the musician the record is dedicated to his mother - Donde West, who died in 2007. At the request of Medusa, the author of the telegram channel “Quiet Place” Alexander Kulikovsky deciphens everything that the author wanted to say .

Podkast "What happened"

The machine suppression of freedom of speech in Russia was created for more than one year and now it is unlikely to stop. This is how it works

Today, publishers and chief editors of 22 Russian media published an open letter to the President of Russia, his press secretary and the head of the Ministry of Justice, proposing to correct the law on “foreign agents”. In 2021, he became the main instrument of power, which took the attack on independent journalism. The key role in this process, as the special correspondent of "Medusa" Lilia Yapparova found out , is played by the Security Council and the FSB. We talked with Lilia about her investigation.

Listen “What happened” on “Medusa” and in Yetube , as well as subscribe to Apple Podcasts , Google Podcasts , CastBox , Yandex.Musiki and other podcast services.

Merch of the day

A curtain for a laptop chamber in a collab with Safer.zone

Anxiety 🤝 privacy on the Internet

Something like this was thinking when, together with the Safer.zone brand, we decided to release curtains for the camera on a laptop. Indeed, working at computers in 2021 is becoming more and more alarming - even if you are not a journalist and the authorities do not threaten you in theory. Fraudsters and hackers who may try to remotely turn on your camera, alas, no one canceled. However, hackers are not needed here: the curtain will protect against random inclusions of the camera on working calls. Then no one will know that all this time you were sitting in pajamas with Capibians. Although, perhaps, it’s bad that he doesn’t know ...

A set of two curtains - white and black - is intended primarily for disturbing people. As an idea, he must return a sense of safety. We perfectly understand all your fears, because they ourselves (and our editor -in -chief, until recently, sealed the camera with a medical patch !!).

That is why the inscription “Do not be afraid”, invented by our special commander Kristina Safonova, is placed on the white curtain. This is one of the slogans of the Medusa, which, in our opinion, is best suited in today's situation. Read more about the history of the creation of curtains in collaboration with safer.zone inour material .

The thickness of the curtain is 0.8 mm, they are suitable for any computer. You can buy them in Magaze . 25% of sales of Safer.zone curtains will be listed "Medusa".

Do not be afraid of anything. Your "Medusa"
