On March 12, the united democratic movement Solidarity must decide to nominate its co-chairman Boris Nemtsov as a candidate for the post of mayor of Sochi, the city in which he was born. The mayoral election is scheduled for April 26, with the deadline for submitting applications on March 26.

Contrary to the expectations of the robots who attacked “Question of the Day” on the “Daily Journal” website, the co-chairman of the United Democratic Movement “Solidarity” Boris Nemtsov, together with his comrades, safely reached Sochi. On March 12, Solidarity, at a retreat, unanimously approved Nemtsov as a candidate for the post of mayor of the city. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Sochi public who had previously appealed to Nemtsov to run for mayor.

The personnel policy is strictly determined by the main task that the relevant control system solves. The main function of the modern Russian state, which formed in the 2000s in the form of kleptocracy, is, as one can understand, in the personal enrichment of the constituent state of officials.

As far as I know, four journalists and the head of the Moscow branch of the OCF, Lolita Tsaria, were detained at the exit from the Prospekt Mira metro station.

As Daily Journal already reported, on March 11, young people showed up at a public hearing on the tragedy in the Surgut colony, where a prisoner died from beatings, and began throwing eggs at the speakers.

The bully was released, and Dzhemal began to be beaten.
