Everything you need to know early in the morning of October 5
Good morning!
The Nobel week began. American scientists David Julius and Ardem Pataputyan became laureates of the prize in physiology and medicine - for the study of the receptors responsible for the perception of temperature and touch. Today they will announce a laureate in physics. In the news like this:
Read 7:40 in TelegramPutin replaced the governors of the Tambov and Vladimir regions; The former mayor of Vladivostok (the fourth in a row) was detained in the case of bribery.
The CEC continues to distribute the deputy mandates, transferring the powers of those who refused to be next on the list - so actor Vladimir Mashkov and the organizer of pro -Russian separatists in the Donbass Alexander Borodai became deputies. The head of the CEC Ella Pamfilova threatened to reporters with court claims for "slander" about the elections.
The head of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov addressed Putin an open letter: he demands to stop the “police persecution” of the communist supporters, and also criticizes the three-day election format and online voting. Against this background, the assistant deputy of the State Duma from the Communist Party of the Communist Party Valery Rashkin was arrested for 10 days per story about the rally of the Communists, and the Moscow City Duma deputy from the Communist Party Ekaterina Englychev was fined 250 thousand rubles for the repost about the same action.
The Supreme Court of Russia agreed with the arguments of the former head of the Moscow headquarters of Navalny Oleg Stepanov, who insisted that the election commander of the Nagatinsky district of Moscow in June illegally forbade him to run for the State Duma. At the same time, the court essentially rejected Stepanov’s complaint.
Putin’s spokesman Peskov said that the Kremlin did not see “some hidden wealth” in the publication of offshore companies of politicians and businessmen from around the world-respectively, and there will be no checks. But the author of numerous denunciations for Russian independent media, Alexander Ionov, demands to recognize the international consortium of journalists-investigators (ICIJ), who published the "Archive of Pandora", "undesirable organization". Here is an interesting conversation with one of the authors of the investigation by Roman Shleinov - about the meaning of studying such documents, about Russian offshore features and that all money in Russia is Putin's money.
The Russian part of the archive did not give truly high-profile discoveries, but a beautiful story was discovered about how corruption money from Transneft, having washed through offshore, spilled as donations to the British conservative party, and now, with the approval of the British government, will be invested in the coaching of a cable near La-Channel.
The most high -profile Belarusian storyconcerns the former administration of the President of Belarus, the oldest ally Lukashenko Viktor Sheiman: his son, in cooperation with businessman Alexander Zingman, was engaged in gold mining in Zimbabwe through an offshore company (and they were given the right to prey in exchange for the supply of Belarusian equipment). Here, journalist Alexander Yaroshevich explains all the details.
What is wrong with the offshores of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, of which he either came out, or not, is told here . Everything is simple with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev: his relatives feverishly bought real estate through offshore in the UK, recording some of the objects directly to his young children. It became known about the former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev that he really has a “secret wife”, his own crooked -legged, and she mysteriously managed to sell his offshore company to the Kazakh oligarchs, which did not engage in any activity, for $ 30 million. Against this background, the French real estate prime minister Andrei Babish (Czech), which he acquired when he had not yet engaged in politics, and which he also declares, looks pale.
In Belarus, more than 110 people were detained for comments about the death of Zelzer and the KGB officer - they are forced to apologize for the camera. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus assures that the correspondent of the Belarusian edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda Gennady Mozheiko was nevertheless detained not in Russia, but in Belarus: Mozheiko was going to “hide in the third country” through Moscow, but the Russian authorities were not allowed to the third country, but sent back to Minsk, where Belarusian security forces accepted him. The KP website in Belarus remains blocked.
Why did Lukashenko have an interview with CNN to the American television channel and whether he himself believes in what he says, the political scientist Valery Karbalevich explains here (spoiler: believes).
The Cyber Partizans opposing Lukashenko posted on the Internet a card with personal data of people who turned to the police with complaints of protesters. According to these data, more than two thousand calls to the Ministry of Internal Affairs were received from July to November 2020 in connection with protest shares - they reported to neighbors and even relatives. Here, this phenomenon is trying to explain the sociologist Gennady Korshunov.
According to the operational headquarters on Monday morning, the daily increase in the new cases of the Covid-19 in Russia amounted to 25,781 (this is a maximum of January 2). The official number of pandemia infected in the country - 7 million 612 thousand; The official number of victims reached Monday morning 210 801 people (+883 per day). In some regions, places in hospitals are already ending .
In Ukraine, the incidence is also growing, albeit at a smaller pace. The immunologist Boris Donskoy calls the new wave “man -made”, since it is associated exclusively with the failure of mass vaccination.
Sincerely yours,
