On Thursday, March 27, at 17.00, near the University metro station, an action will be held in support of expelled students and dismissed teachers of the sociological and biological faculties of Moscow State University. The action starts at 17:00. In March 2008, social science students Svetlana Erpyleva, Ekaterina Tarnovskaya, Olga Bushneva and Aelita Zabrodina, who were participants in the OD-group student initiative, were expelled.

Sociologist Andrei Ignatiev, who constantly collaborates with the Daily Journal, published a book “Chronoscope, or Topography of Social Recognition” by the publishing house “Three Squares”. The author analyzes in it the state of post-modern society with its “models of success”, the massive transition from the “paternal” family to the “maternal” family and the features accompanying this transition.

In his last article, our respected author Leonid Radzikhovsky finally formulated his attitude towards the current government and its new nominee, Dmitry Medvedev. This is how low one must rate a political figure in order to interpret this kind of manner of answering questions as thoughtful and verified. “A significant question: will Khodorkovsky be released? - “There is a court and a procedure.” Will media freedom expand? - “There is a law on the media.” Will there be a fight against corruption?

Vsevolod Bogdanov, Chairman of the Union of Journalists of Russia, went to Grozny, where he took part in the round table “Arranging Life in the North Caucasus” and apologized for history with the exception of Ramzan Kadyrov from the Russian Journalists. In my opinion, the most significant thing on this trip was that Mr. Bogdanov could not bring an apology to Kadyrov. Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov was busy and did not find time to meet with the chairman of the Union of Journalists of Russia.

The weakness of modern Russia, in contrast to, say, other former socialist countries of Eastern Europe, Alexander Tsipko writes today in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, is that we still do not have agreement in society on a single fundamental ideological issue.

It is a completely natural desire for power, and it is clear that such attempts will be repeated. And it is also completely clear that in the near future, at least in my opinion, this initiative will be difficult to implement. It's not even a lack of resources. Well, yes, this will slightly ruin the lives of class teachers, who will be drawn into this in every possible way, and real children's organizations, who will be drawn into a single association.
