Pulse

The main thing is in the day - by points

• The results of online voting in Moscow promised to count -but immediately stated that the recalculation would not have legal force.
• The Moscow City Hallhosted a meeting on the fourth wave of Covid. We discussed the transfer of companies to remote work and QR codes in a cafe.
• Under Khabarovsk, the An-26 aircraft crashed . There were six people aboard.
• Vladimir Putin awarded the Order of the courage of the traffic police inspector, who neutralized the University of Perm.
• Roskomnadzor began to maintain a register of social networks . There were VKontakte, Facebook, YouTube and five more resources - but not Telegram.
• Actor Willie Garzon died . He, in particular, played Stanford Beltcha in Sex in the Bolshoi City.
• Alexander Ionov (after his denunciations, “foreign agents” were declared “Medusa” and “important stories”) demanded to enter the Bell publication to this list.
• The speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko stated that the Law on “foreign agents” can be clarified, but not canceled .

The Medusa editors do not agree with Matvienko: we believe that the legislation on “foreign agents” is frankly discriminatory and unlawful and that it needs to be canceled. If you think the same way, sign our petition .

Materials of the day

As an event resembling elections, it secured the dominance of the ruling group over the daily life of Russians

In many significant elections in the world today, not so much ideology and party projects are competed as values ​​- conditionally “traditional” and conditionally “liberal” ones. The editor of the “Ideas” section Maxim Trudolyubov, having read several studies about the world “cultural wars”, came to the conclusion that the Russian authorities in the State Duma elections sought not so much for a political victory - it was achieved earlier - how many social norms to the assertion of their right and continue to unilaterally dictate to society .

United Russia won the elections with almost the same result as in 2016. What has changed in five years?

These changes can be traced on two graphs, one of which you see below. Both graphs are made on the basis of CEC data, which was collected by an independent electoral analyst Sergei Spilkin. Points are all WICs of Russia. On the horizontal axis - a turnout on a particular area. On the vertical - the percentage received by the party. A small spot on the right is the results of Moscow electronic voting. What can mean a schedule similar to a “comet”? Why did the results of "United Russia" worsen? And how are the Communist Party? We answer these questions on the link .

Podkast "What happened"

How did Mikhail Degtyarev manage to win the elections in Khabarovsk - given the unpopularity of the politician and protests in support of Sergei Furgal?

Last year, Mikhail Degtyarev became the temporarily acting governor immediately after the arrest of Sergei Furgal. The arrest was followed by protests that lasted several months. Because of them, the Khabarovsk Territory was considered one of the most problematic regions in this election. But Degtyarev was enough for a rather convincing victory. What happened to a huge protest movement? Has it disappeared? Not at all. Explains the Khabarovsk journalist Sergey Mingazov

The lawsuit of the day

Football coach and former Russian national team player Dmitry Khokhlov sued Facebook

All because the social network blocks posts with the mention of his surname. According to Khokhlov, because of this, he cannot "normally use Facebook and Instagram." “Many people called me and said that with any mention, the surname is blocked. And they get into the ban for a week. For the first time we noticed this at the end of this spring, ”the coach added. The court hearing is scheduled for noon on October 5. Facebook has been blocking user pages for posts with the word “Khokhly” since 2015. The social network believes that such content does not comply with the rules of the community.

We want to return not only musical fairy tales, but also a quiet hour, your "Medusa"
