Evening Medusa

The Communist Party protested against the election results - and Zyuganov met with Putin. Is it possible to prevent mass killings in schools. We summarize the results of parliamentary elections in Germany

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 on Mondays - also about the events of the weekend. How about running a marathon? We are ready to argue that you reacted to this idea without much enthusiasm. But what if you participate in the race as slowly as possible, and even with a glass of wine? In general, one woman in Vladivostok did so - and, of course, immediately became the main character in the pictures of the photographer.

Pulse

The main thing is by points

• On Saturday, the Communist Party held an action in the center of Moscow against the election results . The day before, the police came to the party. Gennady Zyuganov, instead of a rally,came to a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
• This meeting was held in video conference mode, and it was on it the leaders of the five parties who went to the State Duma. Putin said that those who did not like the result were unhappy with electronic vote.
• Parliamentary elections were held in Germany. Social democrats won, Blok Merkel’s worst result in history, who will become a new chancellor, is incomprehensible (but very interesting).
• Pavel Durov once again explained in detail why he blocked the Bot of the Smart Voting in Telegram: the demand of the Russian authorities was not obviously unconstitutional and Apple and Google were already subordinated to him.
• The State Duma has introduced a bill allowing the heads of regions to be elected more than two in a row. He will again run Minnikhanov and Sobyanin.
• Roskomnadzordemanded that Znak.com, Taigi.info and NGS24 delete news about the shortage of products in Taimyr.
• Alexander Shirvindt announced the departure from the post of Satire theater. He occupied him for more than 20 years.

• The president of the guild of film experts and film criticsKirill Damlogov died.

The texts of the day

In Russia, they want to launch a "system for the prevention of mass killings in schools and universities." About whether this is possible, we talked with a psychologist who has been studying jokes for more than 20 years

Psychologist's name is Peter Langman, he advised the FBI and the US Department of Internal Security and wrote several books about school jokes. Svetlana Reuters Special Corps discussed the initiative of the Russian authorities with him, asked what Langman taught the FBI employees, and tried to find out whether it was possible to, in principle, calculate the killer before he clicks on the bar .

We tell the story of Lazurite - a rare mineral, very popular among adherents of crystall therapy, the revenue from which the Taliban receives*

Not so long ago, sellers and buyers of “healing minerals” were faced with an ethical problem. After the seizure of power in Afghanistan by the Taliban, the purchase of lazurite, one of the crystals, which is popular in this market,began to sponsor terrorists . However, even before the change of power in Afghanistan, lapisit was one of the main sources of terrorist income. The significance of lazurite for the economy of this region has always been huge: in ancient times, the roads were even built for the sake of its delivery, and one of the segments of the Great Silk Road was called - the “lapisky corridor”. Despite the fact that in the last centuries humanity has found alternatives to Lazurit, huge revenue from its sale seems to be in the hands of the Taliban for many years.

* The Islamist movement "Taliban" is included in the list of organizations recognized in Russia with terrorist, its activities are prohibited.
