In the Kremlin Theater of one actor April 8, 2009 Alexander Ryklin I can imagine how thoroughly the Putin political technologists thought out the format of the event, the need for which is already enshrined in the constitution. This event is called the "annual government report to the Federal Assembly." The thoroughness was due to the only reason - the event was least should be like a “report”. Because, of course, the national leader should not report to anyone. Unless before the Almighty.

Elections - vote counting - street - suitcase - train station - dump of History. Here it is, a typical scenario, which is usually called “orange”. Russian criticism adds a “behind the scenes” to the scene, from where the strings are pulled by the revolutionaries.

Yesterday, the Khamovnichesky District Court apparently began to consider the merits of the new YUKOS case. At the end of the working day, prosecutors began to read the indictment. It consists of 14 volumes. One must think that even in abbreviated form such reading will take several days. Yesterday, a new state prosecutor appeared at the trial.

Representative of the General Staff, Major General Yevgeny Burdinsky, said that during the current spring conscription, people with expunged and expunged criminal records will be called up to serve in the army. There may be about one hundred thousand of them. He clarified, however, that we are talking, first of all, not about those in prisons and colonies, but about people with suspended sentences.

Has anyone looked into the 1995 Military Duty Law? In our country, people who are born with an expunged criminal record are called up. The generals don’t read their own law, that’s understandable. Nothing changed. According to our legislation, if a person has been convicted, served his sentence and the court has expunged this conviction, the person is considered unconvicted. We now have no Soviet recidivists. Why can’t someone who has no criminal record be summoned?

Representatives of the Moldovan opposition say that they have nothing to do with the riots that happened on April 7 in Chisinau and are not responsible for them. “We do not support vandalism by protesters,” said the leader of the Union of Centrist Forces of Moldova, Vasily Tarlev, and admitted that he “would not like” the situation in the country to get out of control.

Arkady Mamontov’s film “The Base” about the intrigues of the United States in Kyrgyzstan is remarkable not only for its interesting historical approach - shaking beads and comparing the Kyrgyz to savages should apparently strengthen relations between Russia and Kyrgyzstan.

In society Victor Shenderovich - Dmitry Bykov April 8, 2009 Viktor Shenderovich Friend of Bykov, dear Dima, Dear Dmitry Lvovich! I read in the journal "Profile" your comment on the "Palestinian-Israeli" issue. I read with some delay, but this is a question where, I'm afraid, nothing will ever be out of place ... So I am writing some of my thoughts about your position. This position in the latest expansion is called "equidistant." This is an elegant and very comfortable position.

Member of the political council of the United Democratic Movement "Solidarity" Elena Vasilyeva was severely beaten after the founding conference in Tambov. She is currently in the therapeutic department, where she was transferred from intensive care, said Denis Bilunov, executive director of the OCF. Vasilyeva was traveling from a conference by train and was attacked at the Michurinsk station.

They say that a smart person learns from the mistakes of others, and a fool learns from his own. The question is purely theoretical: what is the name of a person who does not learn from his own mistakes or from others? I thought about this when I learned that President Medvedev had already congratulated President Voronin on his party’s victory in the elections in Moldova. What a familiar story!
