About 25 thousand people took part in Sunday's protest against the "attack on virtues." As the leader of one of the organizations stated, Christian youth refuse to accept the dominance of mass culture that “praises violence and sex.” However, the municipality of San Francisco met the youth action with disapproval, regarding the ideas it promoted as “fascist.” Its resolution called the march “a provocative act directed against sexual minorities and leaving no right to choice.”

The main winner of the parliamentary elections in Ukraine was a politician whose block came to the finish line only the second. Silver in this case is more valuable than gold. Yulia Tymoshenko has good chances to return to the chair of the Prime Minister, and the supporters of Viktor Yushchenko in this case act only as the younger partners of the Orange Princess. Ukrainian elections are a relatively infrequent phenomenon in the post -Soviet space.

The day before, another package of amendments to anti-terrorism legislation was submitted to the State Duma for consideration. It is proposed to return trials in absentia and allow confiscation for those convicted in absentia. That is, in order to pass a verdict, the presence of the accused will no longer be required. And no political asylum in London will help avoid retribution. They will condemn you anyway and everything that you did not have time to take with you will be taken away.

The Israeli Ministry of Transport is going to invest $8 million in the construction of the cable car.

The Russian President signed a decree “On official representatives of the Federal Service of the Russian Federation for Control of Drug Trafficking in Foreign Countries.” The document allows the State Drug Control Service to maintain 50 official representatives abroad. In addition to spending budget funds, drug police sent to the West will have to engage in “interaction with the international competent authorities of foreign states in the field of combating illicit drug trafficking.”

The Mother's Rights Foundation calls on the media to publish lists of soldiers killed in the Russian army. “Only such close attention from the media helped, for example, the mother of Andrei Sychev to receive hope of being provided with an apartment from the state. The Ministry of Defense presents dry statistics.

Former German Chancellor and head of the supervisory board of the North European Gas Pipeline Gerhard Schröder proposed that the Russian authorities create a lobbying structure to promote Russia's interests in the West. As Kommersant writes, he intends to personally discuss his idea with Vladimir Putin during his visit to Russia, which began on Monday. At the same time, of course, there is no talk of any charity.

The President of the unrecognized Republic of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoity, appealed to the Constitutional Court in Moscow so that the above-mentioned court would decide: is South Ossetia part of Russia or not? Mr. Kokoity's idea is very ingenious: by developing it creatively, Mr. Yushchenko may demand the restoration of Kyiv sovereignty over the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and Silvio Berlusconi - the restoration of Roman sovereignty over Gaul, Iberia, Africa, Egypt and Asia.

The President of Belarus, re-elected for another term, is behaving in a way that is very atypical for himself. His last public appearance took place on March 20. There were no reports of Lukashenko thanking the heads of other states who congratulated him on his re-election.

The defendants themselves did not admit their guilt.

-Firstly, I am incompetent to discuss the foreign policy of Russia. The Russian authorities should give a response to your claims if they consider it necessary. And, secondly, as an expert must state that these accusations are unproven and based on fictions ... Agree, dear readers, it is quite funny to observe when a person who considers himself an expert begins to speak with a message about his own incompetence.

The “Manual on Street Terror” is nothing more than instructions for the physical elimination of “foreigners.” Anonymous authors encourage teenagers to create groups called “white patrol”, wandering through the back streets in search of potential victims of the “wrong” nationality. As soon as the victim is found, it is recommended to begin its destruction without delay. Law enforcement agencies note that a recent attack on a 9-year-old mulatto girl fits exactly these rules.
