Shvetsova insists that the law does not take into account a number of important circumstances. For example, the fact that there are many climatic zones in Russia, that tariffs in the constituent entities of the Federation are different, that regions differ significantly from each other in terms of development. The fact that the law is bad is already understood by all residents of Russia.

Socialist competition, a schedule of production indicators, a quarterly bonus, a board of honor, a party card on the table, leaders in production, the party said, the Komsomol answered.... What, fellow citizens, have you forgotten the bird’s language? All to the west! I mean, to the near west. Alexander Grigorievich will quickly explain to you the meaning of these bizarre phrases.

Deputies discussed the prank of a group of citizens led by twenty people's representatives. The Duma hesitated for a long time to react somehow, but finally it gave birth to a resolution. It says in general terms that anti-Semitism is bad. And not a word about personal responsibility, not a single harsh assessment. Our deputies often complain that they are constantly insulted.

In second place on the list is metallurgical tycoon Oleg Deripaska, and in third place is the head of Alfa, Mikhail Fridman.

Today on the map of the North Caucasus it is difficult to find a place where war is not a major factor in people’s lives. Wherever there were terrorist attacks, purges, curfews, kidnappings of civilians, arbitrariness on the part of their bandits and those who came from other regions of Russia.

In fact, it is known that Vladimir Putin considers right-wing ideology to be unpopular in Russia, and therefore does not see the need to create a powerful democratic party. That is why rumors about such attempts that were widely spread a year ago have remained rumors. Perhaps the situation has now changed.

The past week has given a lot of reasons to think that the neighboring countries, in collusion with the distant ones, are doing everything to spite us. Specially. By “us” in this case I mean our Russian authorities, high and very high. Viktor Yushchenko, who was not defeated by us, specifically proposed the candidacy of Yulia Tymoshenko to the Verkhovna Rada, and the Rada approved her as Prime Minister. But the Ukrainian president knows for sure that we don’t like Tymoshenko.
