Criminal law requires: the criminal must be exposed and punished. The law objects: we will not extradite the suspect to the court. This strange collision, which has a rich past, a dramatic present and a painful future, was very clearly manifested in the case of Andrei Lugovoy. The institution of protecting one's own citizens from foreign courts has been known since time immemorial.

It must be said that this time the law enforcement agencies worked extremely quickly. Within two days, 11 suspects were detained and one was arrested. Police officers claim that all participants in the raid have been identified, and the detention of those who are still at large is only a matter of time. However, the police and the victims have directly opposite versions of the crime.

Reputation is such a thing that can help out under some circumstances, and under certain circumstances, to bring it down. A good reputation will sometimes save, even if you do not a very decent act, because people simply will not believe that you are capable of this. But if your reputation is bad, they will believe that you are capable of and not like that. In Russia, the reputation is bad, and the Litvinen-Love-Love case once again confirms this.

At first, the regular gatherings of activists of the Nashi movement did not promise to become anything special. If anything surprised, it was the scale. A camp for as many as 10 thousand people, demonstration flights of fighter jets - all this indicated that cutting the budget would bring a lot of joy to its organizers. The rest is a usual action for “ourists”. Ritual abuse of the “world behind the scenes”, insults to the opposition, flavored with a sea of ​​vulgarity.

In the regions Shots to the future: a year later July 23, 2007 Alexander Cherkasov A week ago, on Monday night, in Ingushetia, in the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya (the people are still called the old-Sleptsovskaya), they killed a whole family-a 55-year-old mathematics from the second school Lyudmila Vadimovna Tereyokhin and her two children, 19-year-old Vadim and 23-year-old Marina . The killers spared only the brother of Lyudmila Terekhina, 50-year-old Sergei Artyukhov, almost blind.

Everything returns to normal. As one might expect, Mrs. Borodina’s appeal to the president did lead to a response. Now the petition “to the top” has been signed by academicians. Well, in our country there is no issue that could be resolved by society, as they say, “in working order.” We live like in the good old days - “the king is good, but the boyars are bad.” Our bureaucratic army cannot solve a single problem without looking at the highest authorities.

appeal The was signed by ten scientists, including Nobel laureates Zhores Alferov, Vitaly Ginzburg, RAS academicians Andrei Vorobyov, Sergei Inge-Vechtomov, Evgeniy Alexandrov, Mikhail Sadovsky. Academicians, in particular, criticize one of the resolutions of the XI World Russian People's Council, which advocated expanding the practice of teaching the “Fundamentals of Orthodox Culture” in schools, which, according to scientists, puts other faiths in an unequal position.
