There is a firm opinion that cruelty and cynicism in politics are beneficial, simple human neatness is not. Apparently, there is no general rule, but rumors about the benefits of criminal policy (as I believe, and gang business) are greatly exaggerated. An example by hearing is the same on September 1, 1939. What lesson can be extracted from this "Knowledge Day"? Both Western Europe and the USSR behaved meanly in the 1930s. True, there is meanness and meanness.

The Georgian authorities are unhappy that the Russian television channels REN-TV, NTV, TV-Center, Rossiya and Kultura are broadcasting in the “occupied territories” - Abkhazia and South Ossetia - without a license.

In this wonderful story with Arctic Sea, I am concerned about one question: where are the logs? This Maltese miracle cargo ship was transporting logs from Finland to Algeria. He deviated a little from the course and lost a little time, but he was carrying logs to Algeria from Finland and must deliver them there. Perhaps he was attacked by pirates, perhaps the intelligence services are involved, perhaps we are dealing with alien contact. Perhaps the security forces are to blame here.

On August 31, “The Other Russia” was going to hold a “Rally of Dissent” in Moscow on Triumfalnaya Square. The Moscow authorities did not allow the action. As a result, one of the leaders of the “Other Russia”, Eduard Limonov, was detained on the approach to the square. According to coalition representative Alexander Averin, as reported by Interfax, Limonov was detained along with three guards.

In uniform The verdict of the Russian military -industrial complex August 31, 2009 Alexander Golts The sensational, frankly, statements by the head of the Russian General Staff Nikolai Makarov, made by him in Mongolia, as well as the reaction to them in Russia is united by one common topic.
