At the Russian level, perhaps something similar to the “St. Petersburg Civil Resistance” will be created - a consultative meeting of opposition parties and movements. This initiative was made by the St. Petersburg “Yabloko”, which addressed both the federal leadership of its party and the meeting of the ASG, which will be held today.

A story about how people die for metal, in the most literal sense The participation of intelligence officers in criminal disputes on the side of one or another criminal group has long been nothing surprising for modern Russia.

The appointment is curious, to say the least. Mr. Kogan served only more than two months in his previous government position.
