Evening Medusa

Viktor Shenderovich left Russia. In Moscow, the incidence of omicron is growing. Why do people of different views do not know how to speak to each other

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 today. To begin with, the news from which you want to shrug. The editor -in -chief of the Penza Post, Alexander Tuzov , was fined for not calling the Civil Union charity foundation the “foreign agent”. The Fund was declared an “ino -agent” precisely after Tuzov’s publications 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Materials of the day

From January 1, Russia began to switch to a new international classification of diseases. We tell you what is now considered a disease and what is not

The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced a new classification-ICB-11-in 2018. It is much more details, and with its help you can describe a huge number of diseases and factors affecting health. The introduction of a new classification is also important for collecting statistics, which, most likely, will not directly affect the life of patients (at least in the short term). Medusa talks about what will change with the gradual implementation of the ICB-11 .

Ten years ago, the Associated Press Bureau opened in the DPRK - and Western photographers were able to show the world one of the most closed countries

David Guttenfelder / AP / Scanpix / Leta harvesting in the vicinity of Vonsan. October 8, 2011. In 1995-1999, the DPRK survived hunger and economic crisis. According to unofficial sources, up to three million people died

It is difficult for foreigners to get into North Korea and it is even more difficult to see the daily life of the inhabitants of the country, and not just the front facade of the DPRK, which they try to demonstrate to the world of power. The American photographer David Guttenfelder was one of the first Western journalists to work in North Korea. Look at his photos taken in the first year of the bureau. In that year, in particular, Kim Jong Ir died and the country was headed by his son Kim Jong -un. You have not seen such a DPRK yet.

How to convince those who do not want to vaccinate? And is it possible?

We tried to find out, talking with a specialist in logic and argument Julia Gorbatova. In fact, in an interview, we are talking not only about the problem of vaccination and QR codes, but in general about why people of different views do not know how to conduct a dialogue with each other, how to develop critical thinking, learn how to competently argue and, most importantly, is it really necessary.

Podkast "What happened"

CSTO troops entered Kazakhstan, but are already leaving. Will the Kremlin now deal with the "Maidan Technologies" in the countries of the former USSR? Or is it something else?

President of Kazakhstan Kasim-Zhomart Tokaev announced that the CSTO troops would begin to leave the country on January 13. And what was it at all? Will the CSTO forces now be used to protect authoritarian regimes in post -Soviet countries? We are talking about this with the deputy chief editor of Carnegie.ru Maxim Samorukov.

The performance of the day

The head of the Moscow Region demanded to feed schoolchildren with dumplings

Everything happened at a meeting of the government of the Moscow region. Governor Andrei Vorobyov was outraged by the lack of dumplings in school canteens. Minister of Education Ilya Bronstein said that the reason is in sanitary standards. Vorobyov did not suit such an answer, and he made a powerful speech in defense of the dumplings and civil rights of students. Here are a couple of quotes:

"We all studied at school, and everyone wanted dumplings"
“If children want dumplings, give them dumplings. What is the problem? "

Vorobyov graduated from his performance with a request to “work out” the question of dumplings and provide them with all the children who want it 💪
