In the Kremlin Mayor's amendments April 5, 2006 Alexander Ryklin "Vladimir Vladimirovich, what happened to democracy in Russia?" “It drowned.” At the end of last week, several of the most vertically preoccupied United Russia made a number of amendments to the State Duma to the laws regulating local self -government in our country.

Kremlin games always hit someone’s pockets. We need to rein in Georgia and Moldova - we will announce a ban on the import of wines. And what does the disagreement over the WTO have to do with it? It’s just that the wine is too bad, and the chief doctor confirms it. Naturally, Russian wine importers suffer; they also sue for libel. They say you have to somehow prove that the wine is bad: one company on TV is not enough - they require documents, certificates.

We are all already accustomed to shooting, but for law enforcement officers to shoot at each other... In Nizhny Novgorod, operatives of the Organized Crime Control Department of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate carried out an operation to detain drug dealers, and the drug police, in turn, at the same time were going to detain the buyers of the potion.

Eugene Albats participating in her (she behaved very worthy, told Prokhanov directly in the face that he simply repeats Hitler and Goebbels), if desired, to write more about the discussion itself. I'm completely different. There was, as it should be at Echo, a survey of the audience, “Ricochet”. Increasingly, this is a boomerang.

Chechnya is still the only region where the jury system should start working here only on January 1, 2007. However, a group of deputies is trying to speed up this process - the death penalty has long been a favorite topic for political speculation.

Today the court will consider the submission of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation to give consent to bring charges against Vasily Aleksanyan, the former lawyer of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. He is charged with two “severe” articles - in total, Aleksanyan faces up to 25 years in prison.

According to the new Water Code of the Russian Federation, coastal strips of water bodies are not subject to privatization. Simply put, everything built along the banks of lakes and rivers is outlawed. Throughout the civilized world, the law does not have retroactive force, but we are already talking about the fact that everything will be demolished.

On March 30, in Moscow, the popular program “Question Time” took place in Moscow.
