"RESULTS" Alexander Golts Military officials, in the best Soviet tradition, did everything to hide the very fact of the tragedy, or at least its real scale. The command did not even consider it necessary to make public the complete list of the crew of the boat. Journalists had to get it through unofficial channels for a bribe. In Russia, there is no more sure sign: if the bosses, especially the bosses in uniform, start trumpeting successes, expect trouble.

SIGHT “Look from beginning to end our chronicles - you will find in them on every page the deep influence of power, the incessant influence of the soil, and almost never meet manifestations of public will ...” P.

The gap between Europe and Asia. Between East and West. Between War and Peace.

Captain First Rank Viktor Kovalev, former commander of the nuclear submarine Pskov, does not believe the main official version of the collision of the Kursk submarine with a foreign submarine.

Last week, the Pskov customs launched the last two Turkish Mercedes out of fifteen on the line. For more than three years they have been under the bail to pay customs payments.

The city of Gdov and the Pskov Center for Enterprise Support (PCPP) became participants in the Small Town Development Strategy project, which is funded by the Soros Foundation.

In the first half of 2000, 667.6 million rubles of investments in fixed assets were used to develop the region's economy. Compared to last year, investments have grown in such sectors as agriculture (plus 37 percent), transport (26 percent). Since August 1, not all pensioners have received an increase in their pensions.

The first Pskov family has already received an apartment PROJECT It seems that more recently, the family of young specialists celebrated a housewarming in a separate two -room apartment, which the plant allocated to them. In these walls, they raised their children. The daughter married in another city. The son remained with them. He graduated from the institute, married. I managed to get a good job, but there was no question of receiving housing. Parents had to squeeze.

Volunteers Youth detachments working free of charge, it seems, again become in Pskov a good sign of summer holidays. But if before they were created on the basis of domestic universities, then foreign volunteers become their basis today. IDEA A few years ago, the first such detachments, on the initiative of the city Committee on Youth Affairs, united young people Pskov and Germany. The guys pretty hard on the improvement of certain corners of the regional center, and then in Germany.

For this harmonic alloy of power over the disease and the maternal softness of the soul, her patients are loved by a mantal therapist Tamaru Nilovna Mikhailova. And for the fact that her eyes of the color of the Baltic Sea never look coldly and angrily. For the fact that she has a calm voice and strong hands that can “bring any spine into life”.

CHALLENGE 2 million 600 thousand rubles in our city costs a trip "the first time in the first class." Meanwhile, school education in Russia is still free.

BEING As you know, it is known to civilizations, who had grown in 1886 on the map of Novozhorsksk, before the construction of the railway towards the Baltic states through the Pechora. The future village was only preparing for the construction of its houses and streets, and nearby, for many, many years, Kolomna lived for many, many years.
