The leaders of the Omsk SPS list in the State Duma elections - Nikolai Efimkin, Vladimir Shirshov and Tatyana Aleksashina - went on a hunger strike in protest against the actions of law enforcement agencies. The reason was yesterday’s arrest of the circulation of regional leaflets, as well as the earlier arrest of the circulation of the SPS newspaper “Problema Number One”. Activists are going to go on hunger strike until the leaflets and newspapers are returned.

The emergency situation in the Kerch Strait has entered the consequences elimination phase. So far, they don’t remember at all about the seven thousand tons of sulfur resting on the seabed: in the short term it does not pose any particular danger, and then, you see, the owners will raise it. And if they don’t want it, then there will be others who want it: pure sulfur is too valuable a cargo to remain at the bottom.

In society Transit (2) November 16, 2007 George Satarov In the previous article, we formulated the problem generated by the elections: no matter what argument in favor of them is, it turns out that counterarguments against the elections are easily confirmed by historical examples. To get out of this intellectual maze, you will need to consider two more important arguments for the pros. The most advanced people say: elections (honest, of course) provide competition between politicians (parties).

Today we were supposed to hold a picket dedicated to conscript’s day - we were going to display a nine-meter banner “Let’s stop murder in the army,” as well as five coffins and five wreaths with mourning ribbons, which symbolized the victims of hazing in the Armed Forces. We wanted to draw the attention of townspeople to the problem of the death of Russian soldiers in peacetime. The action was declared as a peaceful, silent action - a standing picket (no marches, no shouts).

The European Court of Human Rights ordered Russia to pay Chechen resident Khanbatai Khamidov 172 thousand euros. The plaintiff proved that a unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs practically destroyed his home ownership and business: in 1999, federal troops entered the Nadterechny district of Chechnya, where the Khamidov brothers had their own bakery business: two houses, a bakery, a mill, a warehouse - all this was destroyed, and the Khamidovs families went to a refugee camp.

It was one of the strangest campaign speeches I've ever heard. The United Russia party does not have a clear ideology. But she is close to power. Therefore, numerous crooks attach themselves to her. But there is still nothing better in the country (after 8 years of my rule). So vote for “ER” - in this case I can ask them later. I won’t tell you how I’ll do it. Perhaps the Central Election Commission is right that it will not count this speech by Putin as election propaganda.
