A number of public non-profit organizations located in Moscow received faxes from district prosecutors' offices demanding that they provide a huge number of documents about their activities. The organizations include the Russian branch of Transparency International and Human Rights Watch, the Golos Association, the Moscow Helsinki Group, the Center for the Development of Democracy and Human Rights, the Public Verdict Foundation, and the Social Information Agency.

The lawyer of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov (remember, out of great modesty, he asked not to call him president anymore), Andrei Krasnenkov, said on September 13 at the magistrate’s station of the Khamovniki court that he would make public information that human rights activist Natalya Estemirova, who was killed last year, “made up falsified complaints about the fate of one of the militants,” who was defended by the Human Rights Center “Memorial.” Krasnenkov also said that he would

In the Kremlin Plums like food for the mind September 14, 2010 Dmitry Oreshkin Here, finally, broke through. The essence of events surfaced. Regardless of the outcome of the Anti -Luzhkovsky campaign, three signs of absence are obvious. Firstly, there is no vertical. If I were present, today the president signs a decree, and tomorrow Yuri Mikhailovich and his wife are packed in a box from under a photocopy modest family belongings and decrease in London.

In the Kremlin The first cap. The winner receives everything September 14, 2010 Vladimir Nadein The “business in the cap” opened a new phase of the struggle between the two Kremlin applicants.

In uniform The strange case of Igor Sutyagin September 14, 2010 Alexander Podrabinek For several months, acute controversy around Igor Sutyagin and his business have been going on. Julia Latynina gives a lot of arguments in favor of the fact that Sutyan is still a spy. Sutyan, in his answer in the “hedgehog” very charmingly proves that he is not a spy.
