Good evening,

The main thing is by points

• The Russian national football team lost 0: 1 to the Croats and did not hit the World Cup 2022 directly. You can still get to the tournament through the butt matches - but it will not be easy .
• In Moscow, two metro passengers fell on the rails before the train . One died, the second survived - and soon committed suicide. The media reported that the dead were brothers.

The first film about Harry Potter is 20 years! Why are we reviewing it again and again when we are sad?

Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone went to American rental on November 16, 2001. The film was shot by Chris Columbus - a director, including two parts of the painting “One Home”. Perhaps that is why the first part of Potteriana also turned out to be the "New Year". Yes, and Harry himself in the film first finds out what real Christmas is. We discussed the phenomenon of the first film about the boy who survived, along with an anthropologist, psychologist and fans.

Anyone who walked in the center of Moscow knows the TASS building. In a couple of years, perhaps, he will not recognize

One of the most expressive buildings of the Moscow Center-modernist TASS with television windows-is waiting for major repairs. Architects are worried that the new facade cladding seems to be made of porcelain tiles. This would not have happened if the building had been recognized as an object of cultural heritage. However, in 2018, the Moscow Cultural Heritage Department refused to assign this status, since the building was considered unfinished and at one time violated the historical ensemble of the square. Architectural journalist Asya Zolnikova talks about the possible future of the TASS building.

What are they say about the persecution of the "Memorial" people to whom he helped - as well as enlighteners

For years, the Memorial gathered the base of victims of political terror in the USSR. It contains information about the fate of several million repressed. Many relatives of the victims only with the help of this base were able to find out information about their missing relatives. We talked with some of them . Employees of educational and educational projects made a statement in support of the Memorial, demanding to stop the pursuit of the oldest human rights organization in the country and cancel repressive laws on foreign agents. Medusa publishes this appeal.

Podkast "What happened"

Apparently, Xi Jinping will go to the third term. What is this leading to? Now he is Brezhnev, and in China - stagnation?

The plenum of the Chinese Communist Party adopted a resolution that puts the current Secretary General of Xi Jinping on a par with Mao Zedong and Dan Xiaopin. The document calls to rally around the secretary secretary and calls it the embodiment of the "centenary experience of the historical struggle of the party." Back in 2018, Xi Jinping was able to achieve the abolition of a constitutional ban on two terms as a Secretary General, and the Plenum demonstrated that the Secretary General has enough supporters to provide him with a re -election for the third term in 2022.

- Why is the collective system of the country's management, which has been working in recent decades, has broken?

- Why should the secretary of the title of "helmsman"?

- What tasks does Xi Jinping set himself and does the country face stagnation?

We are discussing this with Chinesist Alexander Gabuev.

Coronavirus

In Russia, QR codes in airplanes, trains and restaurants will be introduced. Will they let the store just like that?

In short: without a QR code, you can buy food and essential goods, as well as go to the pharmacy. Foreigners will be allowed into planes and trains according to the PCR test. The Russians, vaccinated by a foreign vaccine, will have to make a Russian vaccine after February 1. This form of coercion of people to vaccination is becoming more and more popular all over the world.

We will probably repeat for the thousandth time: vaccination saves life. Here are two graphs that prove it

In Europe - again a surge of the incidence of coronavirus. Both in the east and in the West. But there is a difference. In countries where there are many vaccinated, there are much fewer deaths. See:

Other news about coronavirus:

• As Forbes found out, customers of fake vaccination certificates began to be vaccinated in private clinics.
• The head of the Federal State Statistics Service said that three thousand scribes who conducted the All -Russian census fell ill with Covid .
• Austria introduced Lokdown for not vaccinated from coronavirus.

Football player of the day (or even decades)

The President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov played with ministers in football - and, of course, did not leave his rivals a single chance. Berdimuhamedov was irresistible - blows on the ball were struck by accuracy. So much so that the goalkeepers involuntarily touched their legs. The leader of the nation nobly revealed the secret of his stunning form: he said that the exercises should be done correctly and then "the return for health will be high." That's who was not enough for the Russian national team in the split!

We hope if not on Berdimuhamedov, then for a miracle in butt matches. Your "Medusa"
