According to the results of many years of polls, Russia has the lowest level of church attendance among 15 studied countries in Europe and America. To date, the total number of Russians who call themselves Orthodox believers reaches 70%.

What is happening to the Gogol Theater is abnormal for any civilized society. There is a theater that is unlucky with its location: somewhere behind the platforms of the Kursk station, invisible to everyone who is not specifically interested in it. But excellent actors of the level of Svetlana Bragarnik or Olga Naumenko play there. And there is a long-term artistic director - Sergei Yashin.

At the entrance to the hospital, where the anti-abortion picket was to take place, only uniformed and plainclothes police officers stood at the appointed time. When asked if there would be a picket here, they shrugged their shoulders: “Well, it seems like it’s here. But there’s no one there yet, maybe the organizers have changed their minds.” But the organizers, or rather the organizer, did not change their minds.

Laughter through tears! The world media, the Internet, especially YouTube suck the shocking trick of the next fan of Pusk, the mayor of Reykjavik Jona Gnarra, who, in a pink dress, and a hat with slots with slots for the eyes rolled around the capital of this island state in the back of the car, which flaunted the excitement of the Pussyriot art show.

I don’t understand what complaints there could be today regarding the performance of the Russian team at the current Olympics . When in the first week our Olympians won three gold medals, and in a single sport, seriously lagging behind Kazakhstan and two Koreas in the overall standings, I understood and expressed them myself . But since then, if anyone has not noticed, the situation has changed quite significantly.

Today, these questions are asked by many: to each other and themselves. I also ask myself all the time about it. And here is what answers I have. 1. Who wins, and who loses in the confrontation that began in December last year? First blitz-survey: - What party won the election? - Who was chosen by the president? - Whose laws are unhindered in the Duma? - Who puts whom in jail, searches, drags on interrogations? - Which party prevails in all trials without exception? The answers are obvious.

August is a dark month for the Russian Navy. On August 12, 2000, the nuclear submarine "Kursk" was lost, on August 30, 2003, the nuclear submarine "K-159" sank in the Barents Sea, on August 7, 2005, the bathyscaphe "AS-28" almost died off the coast of Kamchatka... Around the "Kursk" that died 12 years ago “Pasions are still raging: how could this even happen? The authorities are sure that she drowned! Cynicism has not gone away over the years!

I have been saying for a long time that the authorities themselves, to a large extent, stimulate those who disagree to take action. And it even provides them with platforms for communication and creates informational occasions for them. And for a long time now I have been faced with condescending smiles: they say, well, the girl has completely fallen into conspiracy theories. The authorities, of course, are not omnipotent and do not always have a strategy written 10 steps ahead.
