The court's decision, of course, did not come as a surprise. I wanted to believe that the court would acquit Beketov, which he should have done according to the law, in my opinion. But heroic judges, unfortunately, have not appeared yet. There were not many violations during the process. This is understandable: Magistrate Khalatov would not be interested in violating anything with such close attention from the public and the media.

A big bribe is good that is like a lightning in the night. Lightning highlights the gloomy surroundings, albeit for a short moment, but extremely bright and to the smallest detail. Lightning had already extinguished, around again impenetrable darkness, but for some time you can go confidently, not afraid to stumble. This human memory is tenaciously holding on the details that drowned in the dark, as if the dazzling light of the torn heaven continues to pour on them.

In society Kashin, or sacrifice November 10, 2010 Stanislav Belkovsky With Oleg Kashin (unfortunately, today no one needs to explain who it is) I have been familiar with about 7 years. We never were friends, but sometimes we talked, and I watched him intently. Because he considered (and I think) his important character and the image of our era. A typical Russian boy of these days. One of the brothers Karamazov’s zero.

Zhukovskie Vesti correspondent Anatoly Adamchuk himself organized the attack on himself in order to attract public attention, according to the local police department. Adamchuk himself told Ekho Moskvy that on the evening of November 9, people came to his hospital, identifying themselves as employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who stated that he had set everything up. The attack on Adamchuk became known on November 8.

In uniform Legal nihilism Valery Zorkin November 10, 2010 Alexey Makarkin Valery Zorkin published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta the article “The Limit of Clothing” - about Russia's relations with the European Court of Human Rights and, more broadly, the ratio of national and supranational legal institutions. If this article was written by a simple teacher of law, then the theses put forward in it would not have such a great social significance.

The Khimki Magistrate Court found journalist Mikhail Beketov guilty of slandering Mayor Vladimir Strelchenko and sentenced him to a fine of 5 thousand rubles. This case was opened back in 2007: the mayor considered Beketov’s statement in one of his interviews that Strelchenko might be involved in the bombing of his car to be slander.

Left Front activist Sergei Udaltsov was arrested for two days - formally for disobedience to the legal demands of the Moscow police. The police, according to him, quoted by Ekho Moskvy, sided with the developer who is working on Maly Kozikhinsky Lane - a huge hotel is being built there for Nikita Mikhalkov’s film studio TriTe, which is opposed by local residents and activists. Construction was suspended at the end of October, but resumed on November 9.

President Medvedev took personal control of the investigation into the villainous attack on Oleg Kashin. What exactly this control consists of, we do not know. But we know that not a single case taken under such control has yet reached an intelligible result. We do not know who will report to Medvedev, on what and how often. And we get the impression that “personal control” means unsubscribing. I took it and forgot.
