The war is in a stalemate, will Putin go to the Baltics, the economy is whistling, they have come for the philosophers. “Terrible News” with Kirill Martynov

The war has reached a dead end, and Putin faces a choice: end it or finally put Russia on a war footing. Several influential Western media outlets write about this at once. Meanwhile, due to the threat of a UAV attack, residents of Vilnius went into the basements for the first time. Will there be a second front?

The security forces came for the philosophers because of an incorrect translation of Aristotle's book - this is the largest case in the humanitarian sphere since the beginning of the war. The bans are becoming more and more absurd: now schoolchildren cannot wear clothes with inscriptions in a foreign language.

VPN fees are being waived, at least until the fall elections. The authorities, meanwhile, believe that Russians have already completely switched to domestic services. At the same time, the media are prohibited from writing about the prohibitions.

These and other events of the week are commented on in the latest issue of “Terrible News” by Kirill Martynov, editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta Europe.
