“The state is me,” said one French king, and he was probably right in many ways. The state is precisely those whose interests are primarily protected by the royal musketeers or the guardsmen, or the Tonton Macoutes, in a word - the security forces. Before whose appearance the road is cleared, for whose mayonnaise the chicken coops of ordinary citizens are emptied.

Some information about the release of the collection could still leak out. In any case, these people know what it says. The book, by the way, is quite calm and objective. Small skinhead and other Nazi groups always sharpened their teeth on Verkhovsky, Galya Kozhevnikova, and “Sova.” They read The Owl because they write about them there. And although there is quite objective information there, they don’t like it. These aggressive groups are small, but there are many of them.

The director of the SOVA information and analytical center, Alexander Verkhovsky, has recently been subjected to threats from unknown persons several times.

Work on the bill has been carried out since March 2007 on behalf of the then First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Freedom can be great, great. And sometimes it’s small. The freedom of a specific private individual to do as he pleases some of his personal affairs. Not to fight with the ruling regime for the happiness of the people, but... well, let’s say, to give the child a name.

In the discussion in the “Hedgehog” about the “Small” expressive assessment of the “Small” has prevailed since the 89th year. I have questions. I am addressing them to myself.
