The incident occurred near the village of Zhavoronki when exiting a side road onto the Minskoye Highway. The bandits were waiting for Anatoly Chubais near the turn. The security returned fire, however, according to preliminary data, the attackers managed to escape. One of the leaders of the SPS, Boris Nemtsov, called the assassination attempt political.

Deputies have already brought up a corresponding amendment to the legislation for discussion, explaining it by the need to combat “black cash.” The party in power is clearly preparing to cut the future budget. After all, it is clear that few businessmen would risk refusing financial assistance to United Russia, which is backed by the Kremlin. But the sponsors' pocket is not rubber. Therefore, as much as United Russia gains, other parties will lose as much.

Against the backdrop of the stunning news of the death of Aslan Maskhadov, a report on another victorious operation in the North Caucasus somehow went unnoticed. Last week, a major police operation took place in Kabardino-Balkaria from Thursday to Saturday. As the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic stated, 21 thousand private houses, 60 hotels, 47 hostels, 38 markets, 229 dacha areas, 3,800 garages and 7,200 vehicles were inspected.

The committee believes that “statements by the Russian authorities that A. Maskhadov will be buried in an unmarked grave contradict moral standards, Russian and international law.” A document has appeared in Russia where things are called by their proper names: the pandemonium that has been going on for a week around Maskhadov’s body is beyond the bounds of human morality. But only one public organization decided to remind the authorities about this.

You feel as if you are walking through viscous, sticky mud: your legs slide, move apart, there is nothing to grab onto, it seems that just a little more - and you will find yourself in this disgusting mess, from which you can only get out on your stomach. Screaming, calling for help, waiting for an outstretched hand is completely useless: everyone around you is kneading this mud, falling, trying to get up, but they end up on their stomachs.

The tragedy occurred at the training ground during firing practice. One of those called up for military training opened fire at the wrong target and shot two people. The reservists began to shoot back and wounded the killer. The Ministry of Defense, calling on the maximum number of people for training, is trying to prove that defense can be ensured through mobilization. In this case, those who must be kept as far away from weapons as possible end up in the army.

It was about twenty years ago, in the mid-80s. In the foreign department of the Red Star, there was a rule - the newcomer for the first time went to the embassy of a foreign state in the company of a more experienced employee. So I had to accompany the officer who had just come to the newspaper to the North Korean embassy to watch the next documentary about the “great leader” of Comrade Kim Jong Ira. One and a half hour movie consisted of 50-second plots.

It is unlikely that one should have expected other statements from the Russian military leader. However, the maneuvers will take place after the adoption of a law in China, which does not exclude the use of “non-peaceful” means to counter “Taiwanese separatists.” It is noteworthy that during the maneuvers the landing operation will be practiced. In addition, on the initiative of the Russian side, strategic bombers will take part in the exercises.

Soviet leaders faithfully guarded the secrets of Stalin's crimes until the beginning of perestroika. The truth about Katyn was hidden even longer, right up to the year 90. Only then did Gorbachev admit that more than 20 thousand Poles were killed at three execution sites in April-May 1940 by NKVD officers. In mid-August 1991, the prosecutor's office began excavations at one of the sites, near Kalinin.

This was reported by the representative office of Abkhazia in Russia. It must be said that the leaders of the unrecognized republics perfectly understood the signal that was sent to them the other day from the State Duma. The possibility of annexing other territories to Russia was discussed there. Although the bill was rejected, the direction of thought of the Russian authorities can be accurately guessed.

What happened on the morning of the seventeenth on March in the larks near Moscow is a real attempt to kill Chubais. Do not warn, do not scare, namely to kill, because with the help of 500 grams of TNT, leaving a funnel with a diameter of 5-7 meters, negotiations do not send a warning. It is like in a joke about an automatic machine that the new Russian killers call a calculator - that is, a tool for final calculations. But who could it be and why? The number one version, as always, Berezovsky.

The record took place despite the fact that the day before OPEC members announced a significant increase in production volumes - by half a million barrels per day. However, the news of this came almost simultaneously with the news of increased demand for oil in the United States and China. In addition, the market could not help but react to the further depreciation of the US dollar and to information about a decrease in oil reserves in the United States.
