Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Renova financial and industrial group of companies, Viktor Vekselberg, will head the Skolkovo innovation center on the Russian side - the notorious analogue of Silicon Valley, the need for which was spoken so much by Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Surkov. Both Surkov and President Medvedev himself said before that it would be better to head such a project not by an official, but by a businessman. We decided on this.

In the regions Protest March 24, 2010 Julia Latynina The elections on March 14 ended a number of significant defeats for United Russia, for example, in the elections of the mayor of Irkutsk, and a wave of rallies that swept the next Saturday in Russia showed that the regime is not as strong as it seems.

In society It’s to blame - I’ll be in revenge! March 24, 2010 Boris Zhukov “And the thief dragged the laundry from the fence, Filmed from a passerby coat And so screamed “Hold the thief!” What even someone believed! " Alexander Galich What does a high official do, being publicly convicted of lobbying a frank scam on an especially large scale? No, I'm not talking about the morals of democratic countries now - it is clear that they are not a decree to us.

I am, of course, very happy for Viktor Feliksovich, but the design itself seems very strange to me. An official, a civil servant, or some employee of the Administration can be appointed to this post. I understand that our president is the most important, but appointing a businessman is a rather exotic procedure. I just don't know what it will look like. Vekselberg has his own business, his own ideas.

The elections on March 14 ended a number of significant defeats for United Russia, for example, in the elections of the mayor of Irkutsk, and a wave of rallies that swept the next Saturday in Russia showed that the regime is not as strong as it seems. It is amazing that in all regions the protest movement is caused not by some objective circumstances (hail, pestilence, drought, a drop in oil prices, etc.)-and specific defiant mistakes of the Kremlin.

The Primorsky district court of Novorossiysk sentenced former police major Alexei Dymovsky to a fine - he must pay 50 thousand rubles each to the head of the Novorossiysk police department Vladimir Chernositov and the head of the Primorsky district police department of the city Valery Medvedev as moral damages for daring to talk about them in a video message to the prime minister -Minister Vladimir Putin. Dymovsky, in addition, must apologize to his former superiors.

In society Their idiocy on our behalf March 24, 2010 Viktor Shenderovich Maxim magazine asked for an interview. Well, well, that male! - But between naked chicks (sorry, naked beauties) you can stand in full civil growth, with a circulation, they say, as much as a million copies ... They promised not to rule anything and print everything that I will say. Well, I think, Aida. Let's conduct an experiment. Spent. They printed, indeed, without bills, but added one phrase from themselves.

It just so happens that Skolkovskoye Highway is not far from my house. Therefore, I will soon live next to the “Russian Silicon Valley”. And on this occasion I remembered an old joke about Chapaev: “We will build a conservatory after the revolution, Petka. There will be canned food - heaps!” So, when they announced the “Russian Silicon Valley” in Skolkovo, I immediately thought that there would be complete order with silicone in the country.
