France said "No!" The same will soon be heard in the Netherlands. And then 15 more countries must make their choice, although now the procedure for ratifying the European Constitution in its current form basically loses its meaning, turning from a vote for a specific document into a vote on a vote of confidence in the United Europe. And note that not every country in the European Union decided the fate of the “basic law” in a referendum.

Nothing unexpected happened - opinion polls have been recording for more than a month the persistent reluctance of the French to recognize the need to adopt a new Basic Law. Both far-right and left-wing parties opposed it. Now they are celebrating victory. In fact, according to many observers, the outcome of the vote was decided by the general distrust of the French in their own government. Therefore, today there is a very high chance that it will be dismissed.

The Crimean Prosecutor's Office initiated a request to the Economic Court of Kyiv demanding that this sale and purchase transaction be declared invalid. The fact is that the boarding house "Wisteria", which is located on the territory of the dacha of the Soviet Secretary General, turns out to be one of the objects that are not subject to privatization. The funny thing about the situation is that the Russian side has already paid almost a third of the amount - about $15 million.

Under the communists, the temple was turned into a book depository, and in 1989 it was transferred to the newly formed Greek Catholic parish, in which Salesians of the Byzantine rite serve. Almost the entire parish came running to see the bust of Lenin found in the garage - in Western Ukraine this is now a rarity, you haven’t found such monuments for 15 years. According to the monks, they even wanted to buy the find, but the temple decided otherwise - to use the metal to smelt a small bell.

The Sabbath on Pushkin Square was organized by activists of the youth “Motherland”. The Sabbath was, however, permitted by the official authorities, so the police did not interfere. The same cannot be said about ordinary citizens. According to news agencies, several elderly people expressed a desire to join in the reprisal of the scarecrow, and one elderly disabled person even kicked him with a crutch. However, the scarecrow was not harmed at all.

The reader has the right to laugh at the “bourgeois press, greedy for sensations” and the “jackals of rotary machines” - they have nothing more to say, so they compete in the originality of the headlines. Not at all: black out, or “black hole” is the name of an accident with a complete loss of electricity supply to the outside.

Russian human rights activists have found a new victim of the regime: Anatoly Chubais. “The all-Russian public movement “For Human Rights” believes that the initiation of a criminal case against the management of RAO UES is clearly politically motivated,” says a bulletin sent to the media. Strange statement. No, no, of course, you won’t envy Chubais now.

Four Ossetian military men decided to go for a ride in a car. According to the Georgian side, they were all drunk. Otherwise, why would they go to the territory controlled by the Georgians? When the Ossetians realized that they had obviously gone to the wrong place, it was already too late. They did not respond to the order to stop. Or rather, they reacted, but unexpectedly for the police - they started shooting with everything that was at hand.

Everything ends someday. The reading of the verdict on the Yukos leaders is nearing completion. No one doubts that the verdict will be guilty. Observers are wondering how draconian the verdict will be. Even today this verdict can claim a line in the Guinness Book of Records - for so long, at least in Russia, the verdict has not yet been read out. Moreover, it is extremely rare that he actually copies the indictment.
