The texts of the day
In Russia, a new mass business of “declination to riots” through Telegram. It is associated with a little-known telegram channel "What to make!" - And in this business there are already 11 defendants
In the official statement of the Investigative Committee, only one name is mentioned-the 44-year-old resident of Moscow Dmitry Chebanov, who created the telegram channel “What to Draw!”. However, journalists and human rights activists also found other people accused under the same article. As Medusa found out, all of them are also associated with this telegram channel. Kristina Safonova spoke with lawyers, relatives and acquaintances of the detainees to find out how this case was arranged - and where did it come from . This is the first detailed study of the case in the Russian media, built around the telegram channel “What to Fet!”-and it seems that we have to return to this topic more than once.
The famous Michelin guide finally came to Russia. Why is there so many disputes because of him? Is it for tourists or for local ones? Answer questions about Michelin stars
In mid -October, a very influential “Michelin’s red guide” finally distributed stars and other insignia of Moscow institutions. The restaurant business has been waiting for this event for at least two decades. Seven restaurants received one star each, two more - two stars, and three stars (rely on places for which the guide recommends to specially go to another city) was not given anyone. In total, the Michelin guide 69 Moscow establishments. Especially for Medusa, the gastro -journalist Anton Razrechikov explains who received the stars for what, which of the Michelin lists to focus on, choosing a restaurant with acceptable prices, and why not everyone agrees with the compilers of the Moscow rating.
We answer the main (and slightly shameful) questions about the victory of the Russian team at the World Dota 2 Championship

Even Vladimir Putin congratulated the team on the victory. Especially for those who do not monitor the successes of Russian subters, we explain in detail what the essence of Dota 2 is, what is the International, from where there are such impressive prizes - and how things in Russia as a whole are with e -sports .

The lives of millions of Americans sometimes depend on the opinion of the Supreme Court: on the same -sex segregation at school to the right to protect the lawyer and the ban on the use of illegally obtained evidence in court. And just the judges have already refused to block the state of Texas, which prohibits all abortion without exception after the sixth week of pregnancy. The editor of the telegram channel about the American politics One Big Union Jan Veselov specifically for Medusatells how far a conservative turn can go.
And again coronavirus
In Russia, non-working days are announced due to Covid. Moscow authorities believe that in the city "all nishtychok"
In Moscow, almost 1,600 sick people were hospitalized per day. Despite the growth of incidence, the city authorities are in no hurry to return QR codes . According to the interlocutor of Medusa, close to the federal operational headquarters to combat Covid-19, the city hall fears that "restaurateurs will whine." Another source of Medusa, close to the leadership of the city, said that the authorities believe that the introduction of QR codes in restaurants and cafes would not affect the vaccination pace, and this restriction chain will not interrupt this restriction. ”
Podkast "What happened"
Unknown people attacked the Memorial*. And this attack differs from the previous ones: perhaps it means that the Kremlin decided to completely get rid of independent NGOs
On October 14, people in masks tried to disrupt the screening of the film about the Holodomor in the office of the Memorial. They chanted the scene "Shame!" And "Nazis!". By the arrival of the police, the majority of the attackers managed to leave the building, the police detained only three of them. The Memorial believes that the attackers could be connected with the authorities who thus want to put pressure on the NGOs once again. Why don't the authorities like independent public organizations and are they ready to finally defeat NPOs? We speak with Svetlana Gannushkina.
* "Memorial" declared by the Russian authorities of the NPO - "Ino -agent"
