On December 1, the Orthodox aid service “Mercy” begins the charitable Christmas campaign “Give Joy.” For this purpose, the website “dari.miloserdie.ru” is opened, which presents a catalog of gifts selected for different categories of people in need - wards of the “Mercy” service. Participants of the action need to reserve one or more gifts presented on the website, buy them and bring them to the reception point within three days (for Muscovites this is the Marfo-Mariinskaya Convent of Mercy).

Dear Michael! I must say that a fundamental mistake crept into your article about Irteniev's emigration, which allows you to understand the “kitchen” of anti -Israeli propaganda. You write about the Arabs that the police pulled out of the Jerusalem bus, and from your material it follows that Israel is a racist state, from where it is necessary to “bring down”. I admit that I did not see the report of my colleague Mikhail Dzhaginov, but I know the story itself well.

The closer the day of the elections to the State Duma, the more nervousness the Russian government exhibits. Recently, the Voice Association has been subjected to unprecedented attacks, which has been monitoring the elections since 2000 and records violations. The Rossiyskaya Gazeta published an article about this respected organization, which is no different from the scriptures of the Soviet greyhounds about Andrei Sakharov or Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

The Kremlin reacts to the events in South Ossetia surprisingly formally and somehow even exhausted. In general, he took part in the campaign as if he made it clear: South Ossetia is not Abkhazia, the successor was assigned, the result is predetermined, and even if even a failure happens, it does not matter either, because Eduard Kokoita simply cannot be bad successors. The Kremlin could afford not to worry about the elections.

On December 2, from 11.30 to 13.00, on Prechistenskie Vorota Square (Kropotkinskaya metro station), near the Engels monument, an authorized picket of Khamovniki residents will take place in defense of their rights.

A correspondent for the Daily Journal, when trying to access the Kommersant website, discovered an extraneous picture: instead of the usual newspaper header and list of materials, the screen featured an announcement of the people’s gathering on December 4 with an illustration of a bear with the United Russia flag hanging on the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower, so the spire pierces his back. The text next to the illustration read: “THEIR TIME IS UP. PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY AGAINST FALSE ELECTIONS.

I have lived in this area for 30 years and my children grew up here. When I started working here, there were a lot of clubs in the area, a lot of places to go, a lot of not only informal places, but different artists - some stronger, some weaker, but there were no places where they were engaged in continuous unsubscriptions: they took a brush in their hands, painted something with pink paint, sprinkled it with glitter and went home. Now there are only such places left in the area.

Dear Michael! With deep bewilderment, I read your material in the “hedgehog” of November 30 to a few bulky, for my taste, the heading “to fel up where you look or tell me the truth”. Honestly, I don't really understand why you decided to contact me publicly. Ours, albeit cap, acquaintance quite made it possible to do this in a personal letter. I admit, the plot in question did not look, because for this it was necessary to overlook the entire old news release, and this is an amateur lesson.

A friend told. They called him and offered a pleasant one. Namely: to take a non -reference ticket at your polling station - and on Sunday, December 4, in a good company of the same restless ones, ride a bus along a weekend route - to Tver and vice versa. And there, in Tver, a couple of times to vote for United Russia. They called the cost of the trip - 900 rubles. Not from the passenger, of course, but vice versa.

In society Public TV. In Russia December 1, 2011 Igor Yakovenko Public television finally appears in Russia. The country's first public television channel begins broadcasting on December 1 at 20.00.

The previous seven were in varying degrees tightly blocked by the authorities.
