First and foremost, the very fact of the appearance of this resolution is very important. I have said more than once that the educational community has a lot of complaints and questions about the president, about educational policy, and about the ministry, but there is no voice that would express these complaints.

The unfortunate August of ninety-one stands as an orphan, almost forgotten, almost unnecessary. Equally abandoned by those who spent nights and days on the barricades, and by those who were in the offices, and by those who were worried, but stayed at home. Four hundred, five hundred, six hundred of its faithful guardians gather for the anniversary to honor the memory of the fallen, remember the freedom of the past and talk about the need for present freedom. For some, August turned into Yeltsin.

In society The mission of feasible: the opposition must take into account the lessons of its own victory August 21, 2009 Ivan Starikov It all started with Swan Lake. On all channels, Tchaikovsky’s music sounded and elegant ballerinas crumbled tragically. The dying swan was dying. There was a great performance on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. A farce began in the country.

Participants of the First All-Russian Pedagogical Forum, held in St. Petersburg on July 28, 2009, sent a resolution to the country's top leadership. The text of the resolution was published on the website “Zavuch.info”. One of the main reasons for teachers’ dissatisfaction is the so-called “optimization” of state spending on education carried out by the Ministry of Education.

It’s embarrassing to remember how happy some were that a lawyer, and not a security officer, became the new president of Russia. The intellectual part of Russian society has drowned in grandiosity and unreasonable hopes. Others were simply choked with delight - the thaw was about to begin, the warm wind of change was already blowing, but there was no need to put pressure on the president. But here, no matter what you push, no matter what, a Soviet lawyer is the same as a security officer.

A thaw, you say... The dawn of a new era... A professor's family... A professional lawyer... And why, my dears, are you so hooked and stabbed that you can't touch a tooth? However, I know why. It's a hangover. Since the evening you have had too much of empty dreams and rainbow-colored illusions. Well, it’s okay, now I’ll improve your health...

In society The results of the week. Again w ** a, outside the windows Augustus August 21, 2009 Alexander Golts If something got me last week, it is an endless media on catastrophic August (despite the fact that real tragedies were just a background for this trep). Separate characters even offered to cancel this tragic month. To call him, for example, July-2 or, at worst, some kind of “Tinerian”. If seriously, I suspect, there is no metaphysical predetermination for Augustus.
