Volunteers from the city’s Jewish religious community and the League of Nations association of national-cultural associations traveled through the streets and erased nationalist inscriptions such as “Death to Negroes” or “Death to Jews” from the walls. People with rags, mops and scrapers cleaned up about 70 graffiti that citizens reported through a makeshift hotline. The city authorities knew about the planned event, but for some reason did not join the action.

This morning at 10.00 about forty National Bolsheviks staged a protest rally in front of the State Duma building.

In a distant Latin American country, Chili retreated to another Augusto Pinochet - a general, a dictator, an executioner and a reformer. For the next, probably, the last time Chilean society decisively divided in its attitude to this person. Some sincerely mourn, others do not hide joy.

In Moscow on Monday evening, Ivan Mironov, who was wanted in the case of an attempt on the life of the head of RAO UES of Russia Anatoly Chubais, was detained. According to the lawyer, Mironov has been charged with a “general” charge and no details are yet known. In addition, according to the mother of the detainee, Tatyana Mironova, her husband, former Russian Press Minister Boris Mironov, was also arrested. He is suspected of inciting ethnic hatred.

Augusto Pinochet was not like an ordinary Latin American dictator in that it was extremely rational - and when he consistently carried out economic reforms, introducing the sound foundations of a liberal economy in a paternalistic country, and when he ruthlessly pursued his opponents, destroying them both in the country and beyond.

The exact date for signing the Act will be announced after the Moscow Patriarchate also makes a corresponding decision.

As the leader of the UGF movement, Garry Kasparov, has just announced, the Moscow mayor’s office has authorized the holding of the “March of Dissent” rally on Triumfalnaya Square, and not on Bolotnaya Square, as previously reported. The organizers of the action, including Mikhail Kasyanov, Garry Kasparov, Georgy Satarov, Eduard Limonov and others, plan by Saturday to obtain from the authorities the right to hold not a rally, but a procession from Triumfalnaya Square to Vasilyevsky Spusk.

French law enforcement agencies cannot find one of the key witnesses in the “Litvinenko case”: Evgeny Limarev, who lived with his wife and daughter in the French Alps, has disappeared, AP reports.

While the entire leadership of the United Front, including its leader Garry Kasparov, is at a meeting of the All-Russian Civil Congress, FSB and RUBOP officers suddenly descend on the movement’s office and conduct a search.

Exactly 13 years ago, the Constitution was adopted - the basic law of the Russian Federation, by which we must live. Surveys of sociologists have shown that people know the text of the Constitution. But, in my opinion, there is nothing to be happy about here. They know, because every time another lawlessness happens, human rights activists try to appeal to the “main law.” Because the amendments adopted by the State Duma recently are rightfully called anti-constitutional.
