The meeting participants will have to think over the details of the solemn ceremony of signing the “Act of Canonical Communion” and the associated journey of the First Hierarch of ROCOR(L), Metropolitan Laurus. There are no canons for holding such ceremonies. They will have to be developed for the first time.

After the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the Chechen version became one of the leading versions of the tragedy. Even to the point of personal interest in the death of the journalist of the Prime Minister of Chechnya, about whom she wrote dozens of revealing materials. After ((http://www.interfax.ru/r/B/0/0.html?id_issue=11602507 a disarming presidential speech)) Ramzan Kadyrov decided that it was time for him to speak up, denying rumors about his involvement in the murder .

Non-profit organizations created, in particular, in the fields of science, education, healthcare, and culture are recognized as autonomous institutions. Their property will be assigned to them with operational management rights, and their activities will be financed from federal and local budgets and other sources not prohibited by law.

Listen, but he really is right! Everyone (I mean all democratic and liberal-minded people) was incredibly outraged by Putin’s words about the late Anna Politkovskaya: “Politkovskaya’s political influence within the country was insignificant, and she was more visible in human rights circles and in media circles in the West.

The State Duma of the Russian Federation may propose to the government to consider the issue of banning Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and a number of other leaders of this country from entering Russia. The corresponding proposal is contained in the draft statement of the representative of the Duma Committee on CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin. There is almost no doubt about the success of the enterprise.

Recently, the leadership of the Cato Institute in Washington signed a contract with Andrei Illarionov appointing him as a senior fellow at the Center for Global Freedom and Prosperity. As Kommersant reports, there is no talk of immigration yet.

Anti-Georgian (this does not mean the leadership of Georgia, but ethnic Georgians living, among other things, on the territory of the Russian Federation, including citizens of the Russian Federation) hysteria is coming to a natural decline. Rating points have already been earned; continuation is fraught with reputational losses. Soon the muddy wave will go away, leaving a long odorous trail.

The people of the DPRK greet the news of the successful testing of nuclear weapons with songs and dances. Finally, Pyongyang's main national project has become a source of real pride for the entire population. It became clear to the citizens of this country why they had been starving for the last decades. Now the regime of Kim Jong Il will convince his compatriots that the difficult years will soon be behind them.

You know, to be honest, I did not expect such an effect. Before the Daily Journal had time to reproach, or rather, even scold the president for his reluctance to speak out about the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the guarantor erupted from himself a whole waterfall of different words. Ah, if only they could be thrown back... If anyone thinks that I care about the reputation of this gloomy man, then this is not so. I don't give a damn about his reputation.

Deputies of Transnistria appealed to their colleagues from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus with a request to recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed republic. Parliamentarians mainly appeal to the results of the referendum, during which 97% of citizens voted for independence and joining the Russian Federation.

Historical analogies are a dangerous thing. However, the statement by President V.V. Putin, made on the day of Anna Politkovskaya’s funeral and on her occasion in Germany, brings to mind the murder of Sergei Kirov in Leningrad in 1934.

Russian television people still think better about the Russian people than Leonid Radzikhovsky, who believes that our people are much more dense than their president. In yesterday's news broadcasts, some were simply cut out, while others tried to give the most relaxed retelling of those nasty things , what the head of the Russian state squeezed out about the murder of Anna Politkovskaya.

There were a lot of people at Anna's funeral. There were almost no young people. And – as far as I could feel – there was no time for anger. There was despair. And let’s be honest – fear. Many people, like me. “Patriots” (it is clear, by the way, that no matter who the five killers were who were hunting for one woman - special forces veterans, the “brown underground” or even some people from Kadyrov’s entourage, they all also proudly call themselves “patriots” ) can rejoice.
