Just recently, Zorkin stated that the idea of ​​moving the Constitutional Court to St. Petersburg is “amazing.” But the head of the Constitutional Court did not touch the sensible thoughts that this undertaking was expensive and complicated. Indeed, when it comes to Putin’s attachment to the “northern capital,” no one cares about the details. And now, when the corresponding law has already been adopted, Zorkin decided that he was against it. Although what a problem there is with personnel!

Moscow police are preparing for “cleansing operations” - the victims will be mysterious “ethnic criminal groups”. In fact, the flurry of activity appears to be related to the fact that on Friday two police officers were killed, according to some sources, by Georgian killers. Therefore, the special operation will most likely result in traditional raids on markets and cafes.

I was born on pure ponds at that time when there was not only a monument to Abai, but also the Kazakh embassy ... However, the story in general, like the history of nomenclature idiocy in particular, is a profit. I'm not talking about that. The monument was opened on April 4 S.G. The residents of pure ponds will be remembered firmly, because on the occasion of such a festival of culture, the President of Russia came to Boulevard.

More than 150 radical citizens gathered on April 30 near the La Guardia nightclub and disrupted a gay party planned there. On May 1, an aggressive crowd blocked another club, but here the police acted more quickly and repulsed the thugs, detaining more than 20 people.

The first of May is somehow traditionally perceived as a purely domestic fun, but this time the most massive unions of workers took place, oddly enough, abroad. Thus, in Indonesia, more than 100 thousand workers took to the streets to protest against working conditions. A strike of public transport workers was held in Athens.

Putin, by personal decree, deprived 9 objects of strategic status. The problem has been brewing for a long time: the Institute of Strategic Enterprises is a very convenient thing for all kinds of corruption: no one really checks you, foreigners don’t interfere, you can’t go bankrupt, and they throw money at you – live and be happy. This causes complete damage to the country's economy.

Thanks to the lightning-fast operation “successor”, another Russian national pastime was created - guessing “who’s next?” According to a survey by the Levada center, Russians are not satisfied with any of the current candidates for “successor”: 19% voted for Sergei Ivanov, 16% for Dmitry Medvedev. And it’s not surprising – something else is interesting: the future president, according to the majority (73%), should, first of all, deal with the economy and continue “Putin’s work” (49%).

The closer we get to 2008, the more attention analysts pay to what will happen to the Putin regime after this date. And all the more attention to any signs that come from the Kremlin - be it a delayed presidential message or the balance of power in power structures. But, in my opinion, something else is more important - the mechanism for making decisions and their execution. It seems that this particular feature of the modern Russian state is key to determining the prospects for its development.

Imagine (although in the current circumstances it is not easy) that a certain politician risked greatly offending Mikhail Mikhailovich Fradkov. And so the prime minister invites the director of the FSB to his place and conveys to him a request, not his own, but the president’s, to take this very politician seriously, check his accounts, find incriminating evidence. “So what’s so surprising about this?” – a sophisticated Russian citizen will ask.

They made a lot of noise about “national discord” and almost forgot about it; more interesting news stories appeared. Meanwhile, the problem is not only not solved, but fueled by the press, it is turning into a real catastrophe. Three Syrian citizens and a Turkish citizen were beaten in St. Petersburg last weekend. On Monday night, a Turkish citizen was hospitalized in the Primorsky district with a traumatic brain injury and a broken nose.
