Politician Grigory Yavlinsky writes: “In Russia, the human rights organization of the Moscow Helsinki group was liquidated. MHG worked in our country for almost half a century and played a vital role in the formation and support of civil society.

Paleontologists have described a new type of long -legged pterodactyloid pterosaur based on a well -preserved copy found in a career in Germany. On his beak there were many small teeth resembling a whale mustache. With their help, the pterosaurus filtered the small crustaceans from the water that he ate.

Member of our project “After” political analyst Mikhail Vinogradov writes: “... The reputation success of the Soviet human rights movement, the“ chronic of current events ”and dissident was more connected with the fact that this was the only semi -legal possibility of the existence of a political opposition in the USSR.

Political scientist Kirill Rogov writes about new blows to independent media: “... This is not the logical development of trends, which allegedly gradually developed throughout the post -Soviet period or Putin's rule, as part of the Russian liberals believes. On the contrary, this is an attempt by a desperate counter -revolution against those social trends that we observed in the previous decade. ”

The popular in the midst of ultrapatriots, Archpriest Andrei Tkachev shares visionary dreams: “There is such an oriental execution: a corpse is tied to a person: legs to the feet, arms to his hands, face to face.

N. Yeltsin. I simplify this look, but only a little.

The persecution of Soviet power to the Russian Church was such that it was not to say about their faith, but even silently follow it as a feat. The new martyrs and confessors, glorified in the face of the saints did not come: believed, prayed and meekly went to their Calvarys. “Polit.ru” recalls those who gave their lives for faith and by whose prayers the Russian Church is alive - even if almost nothing came to us besides the name.
