Texts of the day

How close to heart should we take the injustice and cruelty that is happening around us?

The Russian authorities appropriated the emotion of anger and use it as a management technology, says the editor of the "Ideas" column Maxim Trudolyubov. That is why many people who are generally dissatisfied with what is happening in the country do not want to experience the same feelings. Are they right that this emotion can do nothing but poison the inside? We are trying to find out - and, as always, we recommend books that you can read about it.

At the main world climate conference are preparing to discuss how to stop global warming. Oh, you won't like the offers

Starting October 31, Glasgow will be discussing for almost two weeks how the global economy will transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Only the achievement of this goal will make it possible to contain global warming at the current level. The problem is that the commitments already made around the world to reduce emissions are categorically insufficient. to make the transition happen It will take trillions of dollars, a lot of effort and sacrifice . Developed countries will actually have to pay for the participation of poor countries in the future common prosperity. And Russia may become one of the main victims of the fight against climate change.

Podcast "What Happened"

Tatarstan is the last region of Russia where the head is called the president. Why is this so important for Kazan that it is ready to escalate with Moscow?

In 2010, a federal law banned the names of the heads of Russian regions as presidents, and all the republics, except for Tatarstan, complied with this requirement until 2015. This week, the State Council of Tatarstan again refused to rename the president of the republic into a "head." For the local elite, this symbol is fundamentally important. But what exactly? And why is Kazan not afraid to go into conflict with the federal center in order to preserve this symbol? And what does the Kremlin want? To finally embed Tatarstan in the vertical of power? Isn't Kazan now loyal to Moscow? Political scientist Rostislav Turovsky explains.
