Evening Medusa

Why do you need a census at all. Oxford dictionary chose the word of the year. Oximiron returned with a ten -minute solo track

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 Medusa newsletter about the most important thing that happened during the day. And on Mondays, also about the events of the weekend. The good news of the day is the long -awaited return of Oximiron! The rapper released the first solo track in four years and the clip for it. The track "Who killed Mark?" It lasts ten minutes (!) And tells the story of a loud conflict with Rama Roma Zhigan. And we, apparently, are waiting for a new album called “Time of Troubles” - the first since 2015.

The texts of the day

Why do you need a census? Is it safe to participate in it? What questions will you have to answer?

For two weeks now, a general census has been held in Russia - the third in the modern history of the country. At the end of this week, the deadline expires when it is possible to take part in it with the help of the “State Services” website. This method is recommended by experts-firstly, in the conditions of Covid, and secondly, in order to avoid abuse by local authorities. “Medusa”, with the participation of an independent demograph, former Rosstat employee Alexei Raksha, answers a shameful question about the census .

The Ministry of Justice explained why he announced the “foreign agent” of journalist Peter Manyakhin. In the list of claims - an article about torture, repost in support of the "Medusa" and a translation between its accounts

The Novosibirsk journalist Peter Manyakhin was included in the register of “foreign agents” on the same day that the investigative publication “Project” was declared an “unwanted organization”. Earlier, the journalist collaborated with the project. Manyakhin tried to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Justice and in mid -October filed a lawsuit to the Ministry. Two weeks later, the Ministry of Justice sent the journalist objections to this claim - and explained why Manyakhina was recognized as an “ino -agent”. Medusa talks about these rather amazing explanations .

At this place of mailing, you were usually awaiting the podcast “What happened” - but not today. The podcast went on vacation and will return on November 10. It's time to listen to the issues that you missed. For example, about the pressure of the security forces at the Communist Party .

Coronavirus

The pandemic production of the peppers and a gas stroke - about how Russia is trying to cope with Covid using falsifications and administrative resources

In Russia, there is a regime of non -working days. So the authorities hope to reduce the incidence of Covid, which has grown significantly in recent weeks. Daily mortality, even according to official figures, almost every day beats anti -records: more than a thousand people die in the country daily. Who is responsible in Russia for the fight against coronavirus? Why did the vaccination campaign in the regions fail and is it possible to fix it still? This is discussed by Andrei Pertsev and Konstantin Haaze in the new episode of his political show. The pepper peppers and the Haazes are released not only in audio format, but also in the video version on Yetube .

Fraudsters are masking sites for the sale of fake PCR tests for Covid for real laboratories. 47news journalist gained access to thousands of their customers

As the journalist of the publication Viktor Smirnov said, scammers created several sites-clones of Laboratory “Invitro”, “Hemotest” and “Archimedes”, where you can order and receive a fake certificate of passing the PCR test. Judging by the date of registration, the fake sites have been operating since March 2021. For the PCR test, made in three hours, it is proposed to pay 2550 rubles. Smirnov managed to access the administrative panel of the scammers website, where customer data are stored - with names, surnames, phone numbers and email addresses. As of October 29 , there were more than eight thousand people in this base.

Australia opened borders for its citizens for the first time in a year and a half

Until now, citizens and residents could return to Australia only by individual permits with the condition of the obligatory two -week quarantine at their own expense. It was impossible to leave the country Australians.

The most useless investigation

or what does the viewing of the television season about sausages lead

In the editorial office of Medusa, there is the term "investigation about sausages." It means great journalistic work, which was carried out absolutely in vain. We came up with this term by looking at the plot of the resident of Irkutsk, Garnik Aroyan, who ate sausages, after which he began “ailments”. Journalists of the AS Baikal TV channel assigned sausages to the laboratory to find out what was the matter. The sausages were in perfect order. “So the reason for the ailment of Garnik Aoyan was not sausages, but something else,” the television journalists concluded their investigation. Five years have passed since this plot. We continue to think about Garnik Ayroyyan, his “ailments” - and, of course, we use the term “investigation about sausages” ... In general, it's time to find out what it was .

Remember: sausages should only bring joy. Your "Medusa"
