Evening Medusa

Putin announced non -working days from October 30 to November 7. Why in once exemplary Latvia is now a catastrophe with a Covid. What changes and threats await media in the future

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 newsletter of "Medusa" about the main events of the day. Today we go with trump cards: firstly, we are seven years old (incredible!), And secondly, we began to celebrate our birthday along with a selection of our favorite memes of the editorial staff. There are offensive ones, there are cute, but we are all the same from all. We hope that they will cheer you up.

The texts of the day

Readers "Medusa" write words to Ivan Safronov, who was banned from correspondence

A journalist who, before the arrest, worked as an adviser to the head of Roscosmos, is accused of Gosizman. In mid -October, he was banned from correspondence. But lawyers are sure: the more letters will come, the sooner it will be possible to cancel this ban. Therefore, we asked you to write to the journalist. You have already sent several hundred touching letters. Here are some of them .

What after a day is known about searches in New York houses that are associated with Oleg Deripaska? Still a little

The day before, the FBI agents came to the houses. The basis for searches was two judicial orders "associated with American sanctions." There are still no official comments from the FBI, but it is known that Deripaska is the object of the investigation, which has been conducting the FBI and federal prosecutors in New York for several years. Against the backdrop of information about searches, shares of the companies related to Deripais - Rusala and En+have fallen. The businessman himself today wrote a rather emotional comment in the telegram channel (including with obscene words). One of the questions that excite Deripaska sounds like this: "Did Putin find the money yesterday in these abandoned houses?"

The police ordered an examination of the contracts of Shanka and the Fund of the Ministry of Education even before she received an application with a request to verify these contracts

About the new details of the case against the former deputy minister of Enlightenment Marina Rakakova and the rector Shanka Sergey Zuev told Forbes . Rakov and Zueva are accused of fraud and theft of budget funds, which the Fund for the new forms of development of education (FNFRO), in the past led by Cancer, paid Shaninka as a subcontractor under two contracts. Representative of the Fund, and. O. General Director Julia Ponomareva, wrote a statement to the police on August 3. However, a month before submitting an application, Moscow police officers independently ordered two contracts between the FNFRO and Shaninka from the Russian Academy of Education (RAO). What caused this interest is unknown.

Coronavirus

At the beginning of Pandemia, Latvia was considered an exemplary country in terms of the fight against Covid. Now she is No. 1 in the world by the number of people who are sick

Over the past week, the number of new cases of Covid in Latvia increased by 49%, and according to the number of people sick, the country, according to official figures, came out in the first place in the world. Latvia, which was one and a half years ago, was one of the samples of the fight against coronavirus, was in a catastrophic situation largely due to the actions of the authorities that did not stimulate the vaccination of the population and missed the moment when it was possible to limit themselves to local prohibitions for the unvaccinated ones-and also actually failed the campaign to inform the vaccination among the Russian-language population.

Podkast "What happened"

It is impossible to imagine, even more difficult to understand, but censorship will soon be not the largest media problem in Russia. Says media expert Alexander Ambzin

Today Medusa is seven years old. In honor of the birthday, we decided to discuss how the media world has changed over the past few years and what changes awaiting it in the future. Why did Russian news become useless? The media generally needed in the era of chats in Viber, telegram channels and Tiktok? Why did people stop trusting the news, and the information content loses to emotions? In the festive issue of “What happened” we are discussing with the media expert Alexander Amzin, with which threats of the media will be faced in the coming years (spoiler: blocking of Roskomnadzor is not the worst).

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

Shooting the day

Behind the status of "Inoage" are ordinary people. Look at them

On October 23, it will turn half a year from the moment the Medusa was recognized as a “foreign agent”. We consider the existence of such a status illegal and discriminatory - and try to draw the attention of our readers to this. Including with the help of contemporary art. The famous fashion photographer Zoe (we cannot reveal his real name), which collaborates with international brands, specially for us made a shooting of a merchant “Foreign Agent”. Employees of Medusa and our friends took part in it. Look at these photos and read the comments of Zoe and the photo editor of Medusa Katya Balaban.
