Military everyday life

According to CNN , Russia sends additional forces to the southern flank, preparing for the counterattack of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army continues to shell the Antonovsky bridge over the Dnieper (according to the occupying authorities, it is still standing ), and the Russian one - to conduct missile shelling . On the afternoon, on Tuesday, rockets flew to the resort village in the Odessa region, in the evening air alarm was again declared throughout Ukraine. The operational command of the South of the Ukrainian Army claims that its units were fixed on the left bank of the Ingalets River in the Kherson region. The American Institute for the Study of the War writes that in the Donbass of the Russian Army it was possible to advance a little forward northeast of Bakhmut- this is a report from advanced Ukrainian positions.

The Governor of the Bryansk region announced the attack of the drone on the warehouse located at the border point - one person died. Ukraine does not comment on the territory of Russia. Either in connection with this, or without any connection, the Just Russia party proposed to declare Ukraine a “terrorist state”, and the countries that supply its weapons are “sponsors of terrorism”.

This does not interfere with the receipt of weapons: announced the arrival of the British anti-aircraft systems of Stormer and the German MLSO Mars-II in Ukraine. Here is a story about this weapons, and here - the opinions of experts about its influence on the course of the war. Former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov says that Russia needs a respite in the war, and she is ready to consolidate the already captured in the negotiations in order to continue conquering campaigns in a few years. Putin is not ready to declare the general mobilization of Putin, because it will be a recognition of weakness for him.

Accordingly, in Russia they conduct hidden mobilization: in the Primorye they collect a detachment of volunteers “Tiger” (they promise 200 thousand rubles of salaries), recruitment in colonies continues (and legally it is not justified in any way), in Chechnya, non -working men are forced to explain the refusal of the service. On the uniform of the Chechen security officials appeared “to Kiev”, the Chechen authorities are monitoring their own in other regions: in Nizhnevartovsk they arrested for 15 days a Chechen, who arranged a brawl in a store under the slogan “Glory to Ukraine!” - The representative of Chechnya in Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug has already invited him to go to war.

The Russian contractors who refused to fight in a colony in the city of Red Luch of the Lugansk region - the journalists managed to find out 17 names of prisoners, in total there may be up to 133 people there. There is no legal basis for them to sit there. 106 families of missing Russian military turned to Putin demanding to find their loved ones - before that they passed all the circles of hell in communicating with the Ministry of Defense.

War is death, tragedy, ruins, universal degradation and desolation. According to obviously incomplete UN data, 5237 civilians were killed in Ukraine for five months in Ukraine. The fate of many is still unknown - this is the story of Alexander Melnichenko , who has been looking for a son, a daughter -in -law and three granddaughters for the fourth month: they lived in a Borodianka near Kiev, a Russian bomb fell into their house, but there were no remains. Look at the photos of the ruins here , but the selection of video blogs from the occupied Mariupol and Kherson: people take off how they erase linen on the street, go to the ruins of the house in which the grandmother “used to live” and ask for prices in spontaneous markets. In the so -called “DPR” and “LPR”, which have been under the Russian occupation since 2014, the mines are hastily closed in violation of all technologies - in the future it can turn into environmental disasters.

International Echo of War

Today in Istanbul, a coordination center opens , which will monitor the export of Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea. The agreement on this was signed last Friday, but experts are still not clear what benefits Russia received from its conclusion. Perhaps this will become clear after Putin’s negotiations and one of the guarantors of agreements, Turkish President Erdogan - they will take place on August 5 in Sochi. Erodogan has already stated that Putin is “looking for cooperation” with the manufacturer of “Bayractar”. A piquant situation, given that Türkiye is a member of NATO.

The European Union extended the sanctions against Russia for six months in 2014, and the UK expanded its own: the Russian Minister of Justice, two nephews of Alisher Usmanov and 29 governors fell under the restrictions.

The price of gas in Europe again exceeded $ 2200 per thousand cubic meters. According to Bloomberg , Russia during the war will retain minimal gas supplies to the EU: in Moscow, everyone has calculated and is ready to sacrifice income to create inconvenience to the pampered West. The EU countries signed an agreement to reduce gas consumption by 15% until March 2023. At the same time, in Moscow, the former Chancellor of Germany and Putin's great friend Gerhard Schroeder was seen : he himself says that he came on vacation, and his wife told the press that he was holding “negotiations on energy” there, but from whose face - did not say. Read an exhaustive description of the European energy crisis here .

In the light of all this, the IMF reduced the forecast of economic growth around the world, but improved the forecast for Russia: the fall of the Russian economy will not be so rapid, but longer than expected initially. Some, however, will not suffer from this: according to the joint investigation, Investigative Collaborations and Openfacto, the company was commissioned by 186 thousand hectares of forest in the Constantirement.

Russian innovations

• The head of Roscosmos announced the withdrawal of Russia from the ISS project after 2024 and announced the construction of the National Space Station. Why this is strange, explained here . Skoltech and the Research Institute of Radio were concerned about the creation of domestic equipment of the sixth generation-it was apparently decided to jump through the G5.
• Tetra Pak leaves Russia and transfers its Russian unit to the local managers team. The replacement of the outgoing IKEA was also found: the FSIN of the Sverdlovsk region is convinced that the prisoners will make furniture no worse, but cheaper - all the more so since the number of people employed in prison industries “grows from year to year” (here the main thing from the user of this furniture will not turn into its manufacturer).
• The Ministry of Construction of Russia proposed to include the costs of creating “digital infrastructure” in the housing and communal services tariffs (that is, the installation of meters, sensors and other control systems).
• The Ministry of Finance proposes to remove information about the owners of LLC from open access - data on AOs are already hidden.
• The same Ministry of Finance came up with how to return Aitishnikov to their homeland: employees of Russian companies working remotely from abroad will be obliged to pay taxes in Russia, but since they live outside Russia-at a 30 percent tariff of non-residents.
• The Russian Foreign Ministry “does not exclude” that the countries of Europe will cease to issue Schengen visas to the Russians, as if preparing citizens to finally close the borders. The FSB is monitored by the Jews: the Moscow staff “Sokhnat” say that Comrade Major not only listens to their telephone conversations, but also intervenes in them.

Nuts are no longer served, but they are twisted

The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation included Bellingcat and The Insider in the list of "undesirable organizations" - now cooperation with them is fraught with a fine, and then for a term. The sites of these publications have long been blocked, but this does not mean that no one reads them: Russia has reached the second place in the world (after India) in terms of downloading VPN services, despite the misinformation campaign against them.

The Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service fined Google for 2 billion rubles for "abuse of the YouTube service with a dominant position in the video hosting market." This is the third over the last year a working fine in relation to the company in Russia.

In the fight against anti -war achievement, the following:

• Natalia Perov, a participant in a duet who arranged a performance “We can’t wash off from blood” in front of the Russian Foreign Ministry, was fined 50 thousand rubles under an article on “discrediting” the Russian army. Both activists, who had served earlier for seven days, left Russia.
• The activist from Kaliningrad was hung on the door to the apartment of a funeral wreath, the poster "Treasury" be afraid "and the letter Z and V.
• It became known that in connection with the torn FSB, the action of the artist Danila Tkachenko (he planned to let yellow-blue smoke over Red Square during the Victory parade), his friend, musician Grigory Mumerikov, was sent to the pre-trial detention center-although he did not even know about the planned action. Mumrikov is accused of hooliganism, they can give up to seven years.

The fight against other enemies also does not stop:

• Independent mundips. The Moscow municipal deputy Alexander Andreev was fined 1.5 thousand rubles under the article on the demonstration of extremist symbols (the logo of the Navalny team). This is done not for the sake of a fine, but to deprive a person of the right to participate in elections for a year. The Moscow municipal deputy Denis Prokurov was refused to register in new elections because he indicated in the documents that he was “affiliated with the person who performs the functions of a foreign agent” (“civil assistance” in which he worked): he was told that the Ministry of Justice did not have information about Prokuronov’s “affiliation”, so the indicated information “did not correspond to the indicated information reality ”, which was the reason for refusal.
• LGBT. The court in St. Petersburg fined 15 thousand rubles of the photographer Sergei Kondratyev under the article on insulting the feelings of believers for the video, in which he kisses his partner against the backdrop of the Kulich and Easter temple. The investigation saw Kramol in the “propaganda of LGBT”, but the court decided that the main thing was an insult to feelings. After the adoption of the law on the total ban on the “propaganda of LGBT”, the court’s propaganda entered into the State Duma, the court will no longer have such a choice. Here is a story about the genesis of this bill, and here LGBT people share their gloomy expectations.
• Jehovah's Witnesses. The court in the Chelyabinsk region fined Jehovah for 500 thousand rubles for meetings with co -religionists (“Organization of the activities of an extremist organization”). The fine is huge, but against the background of prison terms, it is already beginning to seem humane.
• Yangulbaev. The lawyers of Zarema Musaeva, the wife of the former judge of the Supreme Court of Chechnya Sayy Yangulbaev and the mother of human rights activist Abubakar Yangulbaev, reported surveillance in Grozny. They filed an application with the FSB addressed to the director of Bortnikov’s service. Typically, such statements are immediately transmitted to Grozny.

Three talk about current events:

• With the choreographer from Ufa Ilmira Rakhmatullina , who from the very beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine goes to anti -war pickets and is not going to stop.
• With the children's writer Olga Kolpakova , whose book “Wallwood” on the deportation of Russian Germans to Siberia was removed from the libraries of Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region.
• With politician Julia Galyamina , who continues to engage in politics, despite the fact that it seems to be impossible to engage in her in Russia.

In Belarus, unchanged: a resident of Brest was given 1.5 years in a colony for the "discredit" of Belarus - he published a video of the country's economy in a chat. The mobile phone as a "instrument of committing a crime" is confiscated in favor of the state.

Six links

• Religious. The story about the history of Imaynlavia-the Orthodox spiritual-mystical movement, which was persecuted by the official church as heresy, which did not prevent people from joining it very wise. Or the instructions of the philologist Andrei Ranchin for readers of the Kiev-Pechersky Pateric.
• Austro-Hungarian. The story of how the reformer Aurel Popovich tried to preserve the empire of the Habsburgs, creating the United States instead. Or the tragic history of the 1956 Hungarian revolution.
• Beasts and birds. The study on how the Amur tiger, having fallen under the custody of the state, was on the verge of disappearance. Or an excerpt from Karl Safin’s book “The Eyes of Albatross” (Publishing House of Alpina Non-Fikshn), which tells how albatrosses overcome hundreds of kilometers in search of food.

Sincerely yours,
Seven forty
