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. Usually we start a letter with something good, but today we chose something amazing. This is a man’s ticktok under the nickname (namely Kaplok). What he does, in general, is understandable. But instead of knives or axes, the blogger uses anything : toothpicks, umbrellas, coins, door pens ... And all this is stuck into the tree as if nothing had happened! And after a successful throw, the thrower himself always says: "I am so-a-Auly, guys."

The texts of the day

According to the law in Russia, there should be one president (which is understandable) - but Tatarstan is trying to defend his own. Why and on what basis?

The State Council of Tatarstan voted against the new bill, which, among other things, provided for renaming the position of the president of this republic into the head, as in other regions. Tatarstan is the only subject of the Federation in which this position is still preserved. In our section "Parsing" we tell how it happened .

In Russia now 420 political prisoners. This is almost five times (!) More than five years ago. And soon we seem to catch up with the late USSR

On the eve of the day of memory of the victims of the Stalinist repressions, which is celebrated in Russia on October 30, the “Memorial” (declared in Russia “Ino -Agent”) issued an updated list of political prisoners. The authorities are now pursuing these people for their political and religious beliefs. Human rights activists have such a list from the end of the zero, and for a long time there were only a few dozen people in it. However, after 2015 , the number of political prisoners began to grow sharply . “Now there are about as much in Russia in Russia as it was in the late USSR, until Gorbachev freed them,” Medusa was told in the Memorial.

Before the “Return of Names” campaign, which is dedicated to the Stalinist repressions, we ask you to tell how the repressions of the Soviet age touched your family. We will definitely read all the letters and publish some of them.
