The city court did not change the preventive measure for Viktor Filinkov - the decision to arrest him, made by the court of first instance, was upheld. The verdict turned out to be quite predictable - none of those privy to the circumstances of the “Penza case” based on extracted testimony expected anything else. Lawyer Vitaly Cherkasov insisted that there was no evidence in the case file, everything was based only on the confessions of his client.

A professional patriot is more likely to be a theatrical scene, rather than a hard -to -be everyday work. Since last week, the level of patriotism has risen to the limit thanks to the formidable message of the President to the Federal Assembly. People, of course, are different about patriotic euphoria, but in general, everyone probably admits that there is such a view of the world. And in vain. Since there is no patriotism either as ideology or as a political program. And it cannot be.
