Sometimes I like to read some article by Yulia Latynina. The author writes simply and accessible. For example, I am not an economist, but if you read it, everything immediately becomes clear. One can feel the person's confidence in what he writes. Yesterday I opened the Urgent Journal and saw the article “Human rights activists and victims of the regime.” Everything is presented simply and confidently.

The head of the Information and Public Relations Department of the Prosecutor General's Office, Natalia Veshnyakova, said exactly that: “The verdict corresponds to the gravity of the crimes committed by the convicted.” This is how you always answer, Ms. Veshnyakova, when they ask you about the YUKOS case. Learn this phrase by heart, repeat it day after day. Of course, you don’t give a damn, Ms.

Last Saturday, the ATP held the next congress. The congress of the "right" was waiting. Expectations were heated by the prospects of a possible scandal. Disagreements inside the ATP Party leaders today are trying to present as a civilized struggle for leading posts. In fact, this is not entirely true. Obviously, many right-wing people see the prospects for party construction in Russia and the place of ATP on the domestic political field.

The Holy Synod of the Jerusalem Patriarchate and the locum tenens of the patriarchal throne yesterday elected Metropolitan Cornelius of Petria, and the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as it threatened, issued a new temporary passport to the deposed primate, where it says exactly: “Irenaeus, former Patriarch of Jerusalem.” But Irenaeus still refuses to leave.

The head of Russian Catholics, Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, welcomed the idea of ​​holding a council. “Due to disagreements, Europe has become the weakest point of Christianity...,” he said in an interview with Interfax. “Common efforts are needed...

The main defendants, Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, were each given nine years in prison. Krainov received five years probation. The fact that the sentence would be approximately the same has not been in doubt for a long time. Today it is not just the law that has been violated. Today, the human dignity of all Russian citizens has been violated.

Not chappy, so faggot. This is for those who bark. If, on the contrary, you meow, then your destiny is kitiket and katsan. The choice is obvious - I’m telling you this just in case you don’t watch TV. That is, in general, there is no choice. Dry food is inevitable, just as the collapse of imperialism was inevitable in its time. All that remains is to come to terms with this prospect and accept it according to the proposed method.

But citizens who are directly related to these same flows still have their doubts. According to some bankers and businessmen, checking personal accounts may be “selective”. It is not difficult to imagine on what principle this “selection” will take place: it is enough to analyze, for example, the activities of the Prosecutor General’s Office. If you have normal relations with the authorities, you can sleep peacefully for now.

This action has already been authorized by the authorities, and there is no legal reason to cancel it. In fact, the draconian verdict against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev does not mean at all that we should now give up. Quite the opposite: it’s time to start raising your hands. And we need to do this together. The planned action is the first of those that will take place in Moscow in the near future. Needless to say, your presence is essential. First of all, you need it.

Mr. Smeshko's words can be trusted: he is accused of trying to poison Viktor Yushchenko with dioxins. Today, the investigation has no doubt that a potent poison was mixed into one of the dishes during a friendly dinner last fall. However, the poison was not enough to put an end to the rebellious politician. Apparently, then they decided to blow it up. A car with several kilograms of plastic has already been driven to Mr. Yushchenko's election headquarters.

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.

Hugo Chavez, the much-loved Russian president, has long been known for his violent temper. But this time he seems to have outdone himself: he called President Bush a “nonentity” and the American leadership as a whole a “mafia of murderers.” His remarks about Condoleezza Rice simply cannot be repeated in polite society. But these are all emotions to which, in principle, you don’t have to react. But the threat to ask Iran to develop a nuclear program for Venezuela cannot be ignored.

The stage is waiting The eighty -fourth year, one of my first performances, happened in the eighty -fourth: on the outskirts of Moscow, in the Dzerzhinsky Park. Dzerzhinsky was just missing there. Arriving behind the curtains, I found a drunk in Zyuzu Confransier - the Moskonzersky baby in a pink shirt. The baby was clearly needed by execution. “The old man,” he said when I explained to him that, among others, I was invited to act. - How to declare you?
