In society Like Vladimir Solovyov "pumped up" Russia October 11, 2005 Alexander Ryklin This is not me about him. This is he like that to himself. Well, about all of us, of course. In general, in this morning “silver rain” program, that I listened with curiosity on the way to work, many cute revelations sounded. The reader has the right to grind: what, they say, did it really not convey anything on the radio? I repent - passed.

As the Vedomosti newspaper reported, last week Dmitry Rogozin proposed amending the law on the status of foreigners in Russia. Their essence is an actual ban for foreign citizens to engage in retail trade in food and clothing markets. Of course, these amendments, which strongly resemble the laws of Hitler’s Germany, cannot have any chance of approval in the Duma.

Valery Abramkin, Director of the Center for Assistance to the Reform of Criminal Justice “Prison and Volya”, about where Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev could be transferred: If Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Plato Lebedev was transferred to one in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and the other in the Chita region, then there is nothing surprising in this. The accomplices are usually sent to different places for serving a sentence.

Well - for the third time Bukerovskaya The prize sailed from Julian Barnes literally from under the nose. The author, who was visited by all critics, journalists and bookmakers (the British booker is not only the prestigious literary award, but also a gambling game for millions of English) - there is no need to talk about readers - he remains with nothing again.

The main task is the formation of “a single multinational society with the consolidating role of the Russian people.” It has already been calculated that the creation of a “new historical community” will require about 10 billion rubles.

The legality of the claims of YUKOS creditors, including Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, Commerzbank AG, ING Bank NV, was recognized by a London court back in June of this year.

The Primorsky Territory prosecutor's office intervened in the case. They announced that they were starting to check the customs innovations that had excited the entire Far East. During the inspection, the previous customs clearance rules will remain in place in the region. It is clear that the point is not at all whether the new norms comply with the law. The authorities were frightened by the organized popular protest and backed down.

According to a source close to the relatives of the convicts, Khodorkovsky was sent to serve his sentence in a colony in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and Lebedev was sent to the Chita region. “This is what the order says, but there is a chance that at the last moment everyone changed their minds,” the source emphasized.

Members of the Ukrainian parliament revealed details of a recent meeting with Boris Berezovsky.

In the Kremlin Main liberal in the government October 11, 2005 Alexey Makarkin Mikhail Fradkov made an application for the title of chief liberal in the Russian government, intercepting these laurels from Alexei Kudrin. Moreover, he tried to solve, within the framework of his office, the traditional question for the Russian governments of recent years “who is the main”. Once this has already been.

The number of priests in the Roman Catholic Church is declining year by year, and personnel issues have long troubled the Holy See. It is not surprising that this topic was raised at the Synod. There are a variety of proposals to solve the problem: from a project to allow gay applicants to be admitted to the seminary (of course, if they are willing to take a vow of chastity) to the abolition of celibacy. I wonder what the outcome of the heated debate on this topic will be.

The murder of 18-year-old Peruvian Angeles Hurtado, a student at the Voronezh University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, forced the leadership of city universities to increase security measures. And foreign students were advised to “avoid appearing in places where the situation could escalate” (in total, about 1,200 foreigners study at universities in Voronezh). The exhortations of the authorities had the exact opposite effect.

Around Russia Komsomol member in the Bismarck chair October 11, 2005 Vladimir Nadein In a chair, heated by the historical asses of Bismarck, Hitler, Adenauer, Kolya, a lady will sit for the first time: a beauty, a Komsomol, an athlete.
