Two years ago in damned America (though in dear Canada too) due to an accident in Niagara, it seems that all of New York was left without electricity, and with it dozens of other cities and hundreds of millions of residents. If this happened to us, we would probably just moderate it. And that’s how it seemed to work out. Of course, it’s all his fault—A.B. Chubais. In general, in a good way, I’m guilty, of course.

If you don’t know about the Kremlin’s attitude towards the leaders of the “Orange Revolution”, if you forget that the Kremlin invested both soul (campaigning of V.V. Putin) and body (money) in the opponents of the current leaders of Ukraine, then one would think that Yulia Tymoshenko - agent of influence of the Kremlin.

Konstantin Pulikovsky said that Abramovich “of the ten Far Eastern regional leaders works better than many.” Moreover, according to Pulikovsky, the oligarch is “somewhere in the top three” of regional leaders in the Far East. Despite the fact that Chukotka’s economic situation has indeed improved significantly, until recently the presidential plenipotentiary was confident that Chukotka could develop without Abramovich.

The Tax Service Department for Tatarstan believes that the Kazan Aviation Production Association named after Gorbunov (KAPO) owes about $6 million and is going to seize the property of the enterprise. However, KAPO produces strategic bombers. This is the first time tax claims have been brought against a major defense company. The Vremya Novostey newspaper believes that the reason for the conflict is that, according to the corporatization plan, Tatarstan will receive only 25% of KAPO shares.

“If there is a need for this, a military base in Osh can be created within the framework of the CSTO and the SCO,” Kurmanbek Bakiev told Kommersant. It is clear that only Russia can create such a base within the framework of these structures. This is happening in a situation where the Georgian leadership is persistently pushing the Russian army out, and Kiev never tires of repeating that the Black Sea Fleet will be based in Sevastopol only until 2017.

The first vice-speaker of our Duma, Lyubov Sliska, proposed introducing responsibility for the performance of songs accompanied by a soundtrack. Let me make a reservation right away: I don’t understand anything about songs, singers and soundtracks. But I understand Sliske. I literally see right through her.

Even if we make allowances for the holiday and forgivable desire for exaggeration, Mikheil Saakashvili’s statement indicates obvious delusions of grandeur. Indeed, one visit by the American president is not enough to say that the country is at the “zenith of glory.” And even Moscow’s consent to the withdrawal of its military bases from Georgia is not enough. Meanwhile, no other successes are recorded for Tbilisi.

Electricity is not supplied to several large hospitals, schools, and children's institutions. It’s hard to believe that an explosion of a transformer at one of the substations could lead to an accident of this magnitude. And today, many analysts are wondering whether what happened is the first of a series of man-made disasters that will occur due to the deterioration of the entire infrastructure. But everything is clear to the Prosecutor General's Office.

It took President Putin several days to make it clear that none of his friends were to blame for the Beslan massacre. And those who have long wanted to dismember Russia are to blame. President Putin instantly established that Anatoly Chubais was to blame for the Moscow accident. What do you want? The weak are beaten. Unidentified persons are attempting to assassinate Chubais. The assassination attempt took place at the height of the panic that gripped the Kremlin after Yushchenko’s victory.
