The West believes that Russia is sabotaging the work of the tribunal in The Hague. Moscow is accused of deliberately delaying the extradition of the fugitive accused of war crimes, Dragan Zelenovic, who has been hiding from the tribunal in Russia for a long time.

26 State Duma deputies are concerned about checking the income of the prominent United Russia party Vyacheslav Volodin. The thing is that the Finance magazine included the vice-speaker in the list of Russian billionaires - it turned out that Volodin has a fortune of almost 3 billion rubles. So the honest proletarians from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Rodina began to think, where does such luxury come from?

Until recently, Bolivia did not appear too often in world news reports, and information about this country most often belonged to the category of curiosities of world politics. In fact, for the first time in American history, the president of Bolivia was a real Indian, and not just an ordinary Indian, but the supreme leader of all the Indian tribes of the Andes. True, Evo Morales was elected leader after the presidential elections, but this does not change matters.

The Krasnokamensk court has once again declared unfounded the reprimand to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, which the former head of YUKOS received in December last year for leaving his workplace. The story is extremely stupid: he received a reprimand from the administration, filed a lawsuit, the court in Krasnokamensk found the reprimand unfounded, and then the Chita court overturned this decision, and now Krasnokamensky again recognized the truth behind Khodorkovsky.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again entered the list of “enemies of the free press” compiled by the international organization Reporters Without Borders. Putin’s company has traditionally included Lukashenko, Turkmen leader Saparmurat Niyazov, Uzbek leader Islam Karimov and Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev. But the newcomers to the list were Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and King Gyanendra of Nepal.

Russians are mysterious people after all. On the one hand, they want the Church to have more influence on the life of society; 35% of respondents speak out for the “special rights” of Orthodoxy, and 18% generally see it as the core of the entire Russian statehood. However, when it comes to moral norms and values, only 4% are ready to listen to the Church. That is, it turns out, influence, but in such a way as not to interfere with us in anything.

If you can respect the current Russian president for something, it is for the ability to own oneself. Not a single person’s muscles gave his emotional excitement (of course, if there was one) after the “Nord-Ost”, Beslan or the exit of the Americans from the contract to limit the missile defense systems. Which does not indicate the absence of strong emotions. At other moments, the presidential anger broke out.

The US Vice President on Thursday at a summit of leaders of the Baltic and Black Sea countries in Vilnius called on Moscow to return to democratic reforms. It also seemed bad to Cheney that Russia was blackmailing other countries with energy supplies. It is necessary to tie up foreign policy with this, in other ways, in civilized ways. He also expressed hope that everything will get better soon and the Kremlin will finally choose democracy.

In society Evil and dishonest - about good and beautiful May 4, 2006 Viktor Shenderovich “Some boomerangs do not return,” wrote the hedgehogs. “Choose freedom.” But the majority - come back like cute ... With some delay, I learned from good people about a replica addressed to Evgeny Alekseevich Kiselev during his Internet conference at URA.RU.

The Council of Muftis subjected it, but the head of the Central Muslim Spiritual Directorate Talgat Tadzhuddin, who suffered almost the most in the book, does not consider it offensive. “...I...
