Voting for the title of BLOGGER OF THE YEAR 2011, organized by Afisha magazine, has ended. So, the best blogger of last year was not Alexei Navalny, or Boris Akunin, or Yevgeny Roizman. And even the hair of photographer and gay rights advocate Ilya Varlamov did not seduce the readers of the glamor magazine. Blogger of the year was Lev Natanovich Sharansky.

Yes, here I live and don’t even know that I was included in the list of “ One Hundred Influential Women of Russia ”

The reason for the overturning of an intercity bus in Khakassia, according to preliminary data, could have been a short circuit and, as a consequence, a failure of electrical equipment, Regional News Tape reported on January 24. “Due to the headlights going out at night, the driver pulled over to the side of the road, but did not calculate correctly, and the bus overturned into a ditch,” the traffic police duty department in the republic reported.

Here I was offered friendship on Facebook by a man whom I know (from publications) as one of the leaders of Russian nationalists. I remembered the discussion on the national issue that is currently underway (even Putin is trying to participate in it). There is this idea: nationalists can be moderate and almost democrats at the same time.

The authorities of Rostov-on-Don refused to allow the opposition to hold a march and rally on February 4, Vladislav Ryazantsev, coordinator of the local Left Front, said on Echo of Moscow on January 24. Administration officials explained that all the declared places had already been occupied by other mass protests. Opposition activists consider these explanations vague; they are ready to go to court if a compromise cannot be found.

On Sunday, January 29, a car rally for fair elections, “White Ring,” will take place. The run does not have a start or finish point, and starting from 14:00, cars with white symbols (balloons, sheets, ribbons, etc.) will move along the inner side of the Garden Ring, behind which you will need to line up and always ride in a column in the second row.

Anniversary of the terrorist attack in Domodedovo. It seems that the Investigative Committee reported - some were killed, some are under investigation, some are wanted, but you don’t understand whether this is true or not. You remember what the Investigative Committee said about the opposition, about Navalny, you remember what these people did with Magnitsky - and you cannot know for sure whether in this story about the disclosure of the terrorist attack they are telling you the truth.

I have a long-standing and, in general, rather useless habit: when reading, I write down all sorts of remarkable or simply funny little things - I don’t know why. It is clear that they will not be useful to me in my work. You can’t even make a more or less meaningful post out of them. But from time to time I will still bring them to your attention. Today I’ll tell you three little stories: two remarkable and one funny. If someone is already familiar with these facts, don’t charge them. 1.

In all settlements of Karelia, where earlier accidents occurred, heat supply has been restored, Interfax reports with reference to the press service of the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations. “Electricity is supplied to the village of Pindushi in the Medvezhyegorsk district, and in the Sortavala region two villages that were previously left without electricity are connected to power lines,” the press service noted.

The head of Karelia, Andrei Nelidov, said that tariffs for housing and communal services in the republic are frozen until July 1, Interfax reports. According to the agency's interlocutor from the governor's office, in the summer of 2011, OJSC Kondopoga transferred the backbone networks of 11 houses to the municipality for maintenance.

The capital authorities invited the organizers of the “For Fair Elections” rally to discuss the nuances of its implementation, Left Front coordinator Sergei Udaltsov told Interfax on Tuesday, January 24. “We have just received information that representatives of the mayor’s office have invited the applicants of the action to a meeting at 20.30 at the Moscow government building,” Udaltsov said.

At the beginning of the Foundation’s work, in 1999, in Yekaterinburg, we showed the whole country shocking footage from a Roma village, how Roma openly sell drugs and how the police receive money for it . The head of the city police department responded immediately. He stated that these were not real police officers, but actors dressed in police uniforms! To which he was immediately told that the gypsies were invited to portray drug trafficking from the Romen Gypsy Theater...

Comrade Putin was informed about Sagra. He shed tears and sent Remchukov an article about multiculturalism and tolerance . We now have such a new way of dialogue with society: we read tweets out loud on NTV , and we post comments on Roizman LiveJournal through Nezavisimaya Gazeta. He hasn’t written anything for Novaya yet, has he? An obvious flaw in the last flint Putinist from the ONF . Well, a comment came out with an article in the newspaper. A separate post, one might say.

The main crook and thief Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin-promshilkin wants to become president again, and to do this in the first round of the strange procedure, which he called the "Elections". But even taking into account the fact that he made only those with whom he was not afraid to compete with the “elections”, in the first round it will be difficult for him to do this - dear Russians do not want to vote. Do not believe . They do not want to listen to the report on the activities .

Deputy Chairman of the Civic Assistance Committee Elena Burtina about exams and registration for migrants : “As for knowledge of history and civil law, and the Russian language, it would be nice for all of us to pass such exams.
