has begun The evacuation of Russian citizens from Gaza

This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations on November 12. “Over the course of a week, the operational group of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations worked to coordinate the procedure and routes for the evacuation of Russian citizens who found themselves in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. At the moment, citizens of the Russian Federation who wish to leave the conflict zone are crossing the checkpoint,” the department said in a statement.

They also clarified that the Russians are leaving Gaza through a checkpoint on the Egyptian border, and then will head to Cairo, where employees of the emergency response center will help them prepare all the necessary documents, provide them with food and water, and also provide the necessary medical and psychological assistance.

Finland stopped allowing Russians trying to cross the border on bicycles

As the St. Petersburg publication Fontanka reports, citing eyewitnesses, new entry rules began to apply at the Imatra, Nuyamaa and Vaalimaa checkpoints.

“It’s impossible to get written confirmation anywhere, but cyclists are being turned away. We called the Finnish border guards and they confirmed it. I personally was turned away today,” one reader told the publication.

In turn, RIA Novosti, citing a border guard officer at the Vaalimaa checkpoint, reports that the ban was introduced on November 9. According to him, it operates throughout the entire region of south-eastern Finland. However, he did not specify on the basis of which such a measure was introduced, or whether this decision applies to other checkpoints. In total, there are nine checkpoints on the border between Russia and Finland.

The sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline was coordinated by the Ukrainian military

The American newspaper The Washington Post writes about this, citing anonymous sources. According to them, the coordinator of the attack on the gas pipeline was 48-year-old Colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Roman Chervinsky, who, in turn, carried out orders from the command of the Ukrainian army led by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny.

According to WP, Chervinsky coordinated the actions of a team of six people who, under fictitious names, rented a sailing ship and then, using deep-sea equipment, planted explosives on the gas pipeline.

At the same time, the publication notes that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky may not have known about the impending operation.

Chervinsky himself denies his involvement in sabotage. “All assumptions about my involvement in the attack on Nord Stream are being spread by Russian propaganda without any basis,” he said.

against the European University in St. Petersburg Protocols were drawn up regarding participation in the activities of an “undesirable” organization

As the St. Petersburg publication Rotunda writes, the protocols were drawn up based on the results of an inspection carried out at the university by the prosecutor’s office and Rosobrnadzor. They considered a violation to be books in the university library, which were published with the support of the Open Society Institute, part of the Soros Foundation, and the Kennan Institute, a program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, recognized by the Russian authorities as an “undesirable” organization. Among the books that were considered a violation are works about ancient Chinese philosophers, St. Petersburg museums, cultural differences between nations and globalization.

The university clarified that these books ended up in the library long before the law on “undesirable” organizations appeared. After its adoption, they were placed in a “special closed fund” and were not released to anyone. The university is preparing objections for the court.

The Moscow prosecutor's office is checking for "discredit" of the army of journalist Yuri Dud

The reason for the investigation was a denunciation written by pro-government activist Vitaly Borodin after the publication of Dudya’s interview with singer Vika and her husband Vadim Tsyganov. In it, according to Borodin, Dud in a “cynical and derogatory form expressed his opinion about the actions of the Russian Armed Forces on the territory of Ukraine, calling the Northern Military District a war, as well as directly about the President of the Russian Federation and representatives of government agencies.”
