The series “Dr. Zhivago” on NTV was called “Premiere of the Year”, and this is the rare case when I am ready to agree with the advertising statement of the PR specialists. The eleven -part film directed by Alexander Proshkin with Oleg Menshikov, Chulpan Khamatova and Oleg Yankovsky in the main roles really an event.

In society Dobrodeev with Ernst will teach everyone Orthodoxy May 11, 2006 Svetlana Solodovnik Yesterday's news that the government approved the new composition of the Commission on Religious Associations under the Cabinet of Ministers and the international meetings of representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church allow us to draw quite certain conclusions about the further development of relations between the church and the state and the ideological component of our near future.

Based on formal characteristics, the next presidential address to his parliament can be characterized as populist-militarist. First, the head of state dwelt in detail on what a wonderful future awaits all Russian women who are planning to have children, then he spoke in detail about how the safety of our women and children will be ensured - with the help of a constantly modernizing nuclear shield. That's all, actually. The message does not contain any more substantive theses.

The Moscow City Duma opposed the new law “On Migration Registration of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation,” adopted by the State Duma in the first reading. Deputies do not want to make life easier for guest workers - after all, all these pieces of paper miraculously know how to turn into real money, flowing straight into the pockets of Moscow officials. So they intimidate the capital’s residents: they say that foreigners will take away all the work from Muscovites.

President Putin in his message proposed a way to solve the demographic crisis in the country. The method is expensive and generous: one and a half thousand rubles a month for the first child, and for the second - three thousand a month plus 250 thousand rubles. "maternity capital". Amounts that, of course, will not allow you to pamper a child, but are a serious help, especially in a provincial city. The demographic catastrophe in Russia is its main problem.

In 2007, Moscow authorities plan to spend about 90 billion rubles on the youth program. This money will be used to encourage socially active youth - they are already promising almost mountains of gold: discount cards, preferential admission to universities, and even apartments in Moscow for those who have distinguished themselves. Luzhkov decided to acquire a “pocket” crowd of young activists who could be brought to any rally, action, etc. at any time.

In Russia, those convicted of minor crimes will be given “limited freedom”: on the one hand, relative freedom, on the other, thanks to a microchip built into the bracelet, law enforcement agencies will be able to monitor the movements of prisoners. The bracelets are planned to be used for convicts serving sentences in settlement colonies and general regime colonies with the right to work outside the territory.

In May 1992, the state television of Russia VGTRK and the TV channel, called at that time of the RTR, celebrated their first birthday. The presenter of the evening Svetlana Sorokina literally pulled the then Prime Minister of Russia Ivan Silaev on the stage, where the piano, or rather, Bayan in the bushes was discovered. No matter how much Silaev resisted, Svetlana persuaded him to play the button accordion, and the next few minutes the prime minister filed a live air desperately.

Sergey Glazyev, co -chair of the Rodina faction in the State Duma, about the demographic situation in Russia: The development of human potential and the growth of population remain for Russia the most important goals of politics and the necessary condition for preserving the country.

To the question "How do you write first, and then you insert a national identity?" - The classics The answer is given. “At first I am imbued with national self -awareness to the depths of my soul: I read the speeches of the President, I dive by by heart the heroic saga, I visit patriotic meetings. Then, when I start to tear me - not to be sick, but to tear it up, I get down to business ...” So I was initially going to write about something completely different.

Another idiotic story with Khodorkovsky ended relatively successfully. A cellmate cut Khodorkovsky's face, there is a version that not on his own initiative, but on the orders of the authorities. After which, for his own safety, the former head of YUKOS was transferred to “solitary”. Then came complaints from lawyers, and Khodorkovsky ended up in the medical unit after a “dry” hunger strike, which he started as a sign of protest. And now - victory. They returned us to the general barracks.

About 150 delegates from all dioceses of the ROCOR, located in different countries, take part in the Council. A delegate of the Council, Archpriest Viktor Potapov from Washington, shared with RIA Novosti his hopes that even clergy who oppose reunification will not move away from the Church Abroad and will follow the bishops. Immediately after the All-Diaspora Council, the ROCOR Council of Bishops will take place (May 15-19), at which the Act on Canonical Communion should be adopted.

The case of Forbes magazine editor-in-chief Paul Klebnikov provoked an almost extinct discussion about jury trials. And again cries are heard about how wrong everything is, that the people have not yet matured to the institution of juries, etc. I don’t know about the people, but the prosecutor’s office definitely can’t come to terms with this case. Today it became known that notary Fail Sadretdinov, acquitted in the Klebnikov murder case, was again detained.

Putin transferred leadership of the Federal Customs Service directly to the Russian government. The fact that something needs to be done with customs has long been obvious to everyone: they steal, you know, and take bribes. In April and early May, several criminal cases were initiated against customs officials, including senior officials. It is still unclear to what extent the government is able to pacify customs.

The bishop's response letter was sent to Interfax. The Metropolitan sees a seminar, round table or conference as the most suitable form of meeting. “I don’t think that live broadcasting is the right place for a serious discussion, since it is always limited in time and format, and also involves a certain emotional background, which is not at all conducive to thoughtful dialogue,” the letter says.
