The texts of the day

Anthropologist Dmitry Gromov studied AUE and AUECHOV for more than ten years, and now he wrote a book about this. We talked with him

In the fall of 2020, the Supreme Court recognized the AUE “extremist organization” and banned it in the territory of the Russian Federation, while calling it “international public movement”. Such a movement should have a hierarchy standing behind him, but AUE does not, as there are no other signs of an organized group. About this in his new, not yet published book “AUE: Criminalization of youth and moral panic” is argued by anthropologist Dmitry Gromov. We talked with him about how “moral entrepreneurs” made Aue popular and frightening, and law enforcement officers with their help invented a new pressure lever.

Kyle Rittenhaus is justified. But in the USA they still cannot agree: he is a hero or racist and killer

On November 19, in the city of Kenosha, Visconsin, the jury justified the 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhaus on all points of the prosecution. In August 2020, Rittenhaus killed and wounded several people during protests against a police violence that grew into riots. Conservatives celebrate the verdict as a symbol of the triumph of the right to self -defense, and the liberals believe that the court gave the country a clear signal, justifying the “white racist” and thereby urging people to take weapons and law into their own hands. This is how the excuse for Rittenhaus once againshared the United States .

Taliban* promised to observe the rights of women - and immediately forbade Afghan women to work and study. What happens to the women of Afghanistan at the Taliban?

Later, reporting journalists denied this information: according to their data, Khakim died before the militants arrived in Kabul. Nevertheless, the news again attracted attention to the issue of women's rights in Afghanistan. Medusa tells the main thing about the situation of the country's residents now.
