Today I received an official letter from the rector of Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics, which owns the House of Scientists. The letter states that the fire alarm system is currently being installed and has not been put into operation. In this regard, holding mass events in the House of Scientists is unacceptable. This is the official version.

They say that in 1969, celebrating the anniversary of the decree signed by Lenin in 1919, according to which all circuses in the country became state circuses on one day, a cheerful poster was hung on the pediment of the Moscow circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard - “50 years of the Soviet circus.” They also say that the poster was soon removed, because even stupid party officials realized the ambiguity of this expression.

According to the new concept for the development of the Russian Armed Forces, the abolition of conscription cannot be expected until 2030. The strength of the Russian army lies in conscripts, nuclear missiles, minerals and... that's right, nanotechnology.

Former co-owner of YUKOS Leonid Nevzlin was found guilty in absentia on Friday, August 1, of organizing a number of murders and attempts on the lives of entrepreneurs and officials.

National heroes often become people who decisively and sometimes irreconcilably implement their own ideas towards their opponents.

However, in France they treat Napoleon with no less reverence, despite the rivers of blood shed by the great conqueror and the sad outcome of his military campaigns.

So, Medvedev said that the law enforcement agencies and authorities will stop “making business a nightmare.” And he added that we are talking about small businesses “and not only small ones.” "In our country, signals are very important. Consider this signal given." But since a completely different signal was given the day before, a classic mistake occurs. Two doctors - an evil one and a good one - “treat” people in different ways.

This week, the head of the Russian government, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, won another remarkable victory. He brilliantly demonstrated to the city and the world who is boss. The fact is that some unreasonable employees of Dmitry Medvedev tried to somewhat soften the results of Vladimir Vladimirovich’s previous brilliant victory, when, promising to send a “doctor” to the owner of the Mechel company, the prime minister collapsed the Russian stock market.

The National Assembly decided to hold round tables on political topics in a number of Russian cities.
