The advertising campaign for the main event on the Russian stock market is in full swing. We are, of course, talking about the privatization of a large stake in Rosneft, the last state-owned vertically integrated oil company. Two years ago this event would not have caused such a stir. High oil prices would certainly fuel interest in the latest oil asset put up for sale by the Russian government.

The scandal involving the removal of organs from a person erupted in April 2003 - investigators interrupted an operation to remove a kidney from a patient who was still alive. A criminal case was opened under the article “Preparation for premeditated murder.” Then a real campaign unfolded in the media: many television programs appeared about illegal transplants, organ trafficking and other horrors. But the court twice issued an acquittal, which was twice overturned by the Supreme Court.

The meeting participants listened to the message of Patriarch Alexy II, calling to “seek what serves for creation and peace,” and also elected new members of the assembly instead of those who resigned due to the transition to Constantinople jurisdiction. On July 8, Bishop Vasily of Amphipolis intends to convene his diocesan assembly of the Sourozh diocese. Everyone who was part of the diocesan meeting up to May 14, 2006, the day of the Bishop’s retirement, is invited to attend.

So, at its congress, Yabloko once again, 129 times, ran away from the Union of Right Forces. Yabloko deputy chairman Sergei Ivanenko called the unification plan a “fantastic project” and an “adventure.” Who then is G.A. Yavlinsky, who for a whole year (even more!) was most actively engaged in this fantasy and adventure? But in the Democratic Party they speak either enthusiastically about the leader, or nothing. Just God forbid that I scold Apple. This is a) dishonest, b) amazingly stupid.

Near St. Petersburg, a conscript soldier kicked a contract soldier. The incident once again proves that the decomposition in Russian barracks has reached dangerous levels. The murder coincided with the end of the spring conscription and the protests of the Soldiers' Mothers. According to estimates by lawyers involved in the issue of conscription, every day in St. Petersburg, on average, about 20 young men end up in military registration and enlistment offices illegally.

Vladimir Vladimirovich took pity on the people, he was tired of asking riddles - he told the world the name of the future prosecutor general. This surprised everyone immensely, because Ustinov was replaced by Yuri Chaika, the current Minister of Justice, to fight corruption.

At the last meeting, the Central Election Commission actually announced the start of a new election campaign. Veshnyakov was at first very surprised, and then came up with a formal explanation: they say, we are not talking about early elections, but we just want to be well prepared.

Since we already had “deceived investors,” those who lost their money by investing in houses under construction are now called “deceived shareholders” or, even better, “deceived co-investors.” And these same people seem to have decided today to once again gather at the White House and demand justice. It is interesting to look at the reaction of the authorities: there has been a powerful cordon around the Gorbaty Bridge since the very morning - police and riot police.

Domestic television in the company with an official seal, not embarrassed, give a story with “three whales” exactly as the Tartuf final-the good king suddenly restores justice, returns the property and honor, while punishing a scoundrel. It is funny that the version of the intervention above, which seemed unconvincing Louis XIV, quite arranged the current inhabitants of the Kremlin. The French monarch, obviously, was of a higher opinion about the mental abilities of the public ...

The Communist Party is once again predicted to die soon. “The very existence of our party as a mass political organization is being called into question,” Zyuganov stunned his comrades and admitted that the ranks of the communists are rapidly thinning. But the thing is that the members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are mostly elderly people and, unfortunately, they are dying, and there are fewer and fewer new people who want to “join the ranks”.

Sergei Glazyev on the relationship between Moscow and Brussels At one time, I was one of the developers of the Partnership Agreement with the EU, signed in 1997. Let me remind you that this agreement almost ten years ago raised the issue of lowering visa barriers, declared free trade and provided for a number of other advantages for Russia. However, in the end, nothing of this was done for almost a decade.

The conference brings together a variety of people: from representatives of the Catholic metropolis in Russia (arch. Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, priest Igor Kovalevsky) and employees of the Moscow Patriarchate (archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, priest Vladimir Vigilyansky) to domestic and foreign experts in the field of religion, journalists and human rights activists . Main topics for discussion: what do Russians believe? The role of the media in the dissemination of Christian values.

For the first time in the history of the US EC and all Anglican churches, such a high position will be occupied by a woman - the 51-year-old Bishop of Nevada ((http://blagovest-info.tld.mastertest.ru/index.php?ss=2&s=3&id=6990 Katharine Jefferts- Shori)). Besides the United States, only two countries—Canada and New Zealand—have female Anglican bishops.
