The conference is being held by the Center for National Glory of Russia, where, obviously, they decided to act according to Fomenko’s method. It is strange that the Minister of Culture Alexander Sokolov is ready to play these games and proposes to create “newly written history textbooks”, with an assessment of those events through the prism of “spiritual heroism.” An excellent future awaits our school: instead of Darwin - the theory of creationism, instead of history - spiritual heroism.

The notorious “Russian March”, the possibility of which had been exciting the public all last week, did not take place. Nowhere in Russia. It turned out that in order to drive all this nationalist rubbish into remote gateways, where it belongs, a few dozen strong riot police are enough. The events of November 4 clearly confirmed the thesis that nationalism is not relevant for today's Russia. Well, somehow our people are not imbued with the problems of identifying the Russian ethnic group.

Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov said during a meeting of the Moscow government on Tuesday that tolerance and respect for other nationalities must be “taught” in school. That is, simply telling children about the peoples inhabiting Russia, their history, perhaps teaching the basics of Islam, Judaism and other faiths. Not to “convert”, but to inform.

The fact that the “Russian March,” to put it mildly, “failed,” was noticed not only by nasty liberals, but also by the jingoists themselves. That is, for my taste, it was just a success, and it would have been better not to have had it at all. But the organizers think differently - State Duma deputy Nikolai Kuryanovich said that the procession will take place in December, the disgrace will be timed to coincide with Stalin’s birthday.

The Main Directorate of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in the Southern Federal District issued a statement in which it reported on the investigation into the shootout between Chechen and Ingush riot police at the Volga-20 checkpoint. “Currently, the specific persons who committed this crime are being identified, and their actions will be given an appropriate legal assessment.

Clashes between supporters of the authorities and the opposition in Kyrgyzstan have temporarily stopped. True, not for long - both sides declare that tomorrow morning the rally will begin with renewed vigor. Eight people have already been injured as a result of clashes in the square in front of the Kyrgyz parliament. The head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic, Nurdin Dzhangaraev, said that “during the clashes” 17 policemen were injured.

The “March of the Tolstoyans” was – according to their self-assessment – ​​extremely successful. Estimates of the number of participants vary. The police will assure that about 1000 “Russian saviors” made it to the Tolstoy monument, while the patriots themselves say that there were 7000 of them, or even in general, without bothering themselves with ridiculous accuracy (we are not accountants, we are knights!), expressing themselves more poetically : “a lot”, “very much”.

An NBP rally is taking place on Chistye Prudy in Moscow - about 40 Limonovites tried to seize the Surgutneftegaz building. They burst into the building, hoisted the NBP flag and scattered leaflets.

The international organization Transparency International has published a “rating” of the most corrupt countries in the world. The study included 163 states, Russia took 127th place.

"If anyone in this church has reacted badly to recent decisions, then our salvation and our health as a whole is at risk, and our task will be to try to heal them," K. Jefferts-Shori said on solemn election ceremony. “She will take responsibility in the most difficult times...”, says the message from the Archbishop of Canterbury. A former pilot and oceanographer, K. Jefferts-Shori served as bishop of the US state of Nevada.

Russia plans to submit a draft resolution to the UN General Assembly aimed at combating neo-Nazism and racism. Russian authorities are concerned about the dismantling of a monument to Soviet soldiers in Estonia. And in return they erect monuments to Estonian fascists. And since Estonia is a member of the EU, let Europe sort it out.

Alisher Usmanov, head of Gazprominvestholding and co-owner of Metalloinvest, after the successful purchase of Kommersant, decided not to limit himself to this. The businessman’s immediate plans include purchasing a 50% stake in the 7TV channel. Now 7TV is a deeply unprofitable sports channel; whether anything will change with the arrival of Usmanov, one can only fantasize for now, but the sports channel is unlikely to remain.

The new main national holiday of the country, thank God, has passed. Police chiefs and others responsible for order were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Not many people took to the streets, there were almost no clashes; in Moscow, several hundred people seemed to be detained, but they were soon released. Very close to the solemn date, many Russian cities, following Moscow, announced a ban on the “Russian March”, some hastily came up with something to fill the holiday day with.
