It is too defiantly ugly and contradicts not only common sense, but also banal legislation: national, as well as international. Criminalization of protest - illegitimation of the law The new legislation is an illegitimate and, by the way, illegal criminalization of the right to freedom of assembly.

The Russian team played well against the Greeks. Strong average players whose place is not in the hall of fame. There was not enough fighting spirit, there was only hysteria. But the fighting spirit is nowhere to be found, given the situation in our football. 4 years ago, the Russian team jumped over their heads, reached the semi-finals of the European Championship, and since then we have lived by what is, by and large, an accidental success.

On Sunday, mayoral elections were held in Omsk. The United Russia candidate Vyacheslav Dvorakovsky won. While Moscow and St. Petersburg are experiencing a boom in civic and opposition activity, Omsk unexpectedly saw record low turnout. A week ago, under the same conditions, elections for the mayor of Krasnoyarsk were held, and a representative of the ruling party predictably became the head of the city.

I don’t know why or how this happened, but we don’t have more political sporting competitions than football. Can anyone spot the political subtext in Sharapova's fight with an American, a German, an Englishwoman or a Serbian? Hardly... Even in hockey, when the USSR “fought” the “class enemy” Canadians, I believe there was less political confrontation than when the “brotherly” teams of Ukraine and Russia meet in recent history.

In the article “Scam,” I have already written about large-scale budgetary injections into the APEC Vladivostok 2012 Summit worth almost $10 billion, which is five times more expensive than the Olympics in Vancouver.
