Here is a photo report from the rally at the Khamovnichesky Court on the day of the Pussy Riot verdict. I already wrote about this shameful day on 08/17/12 and there is nothing to add here. Abomination, muck, brazen police brutality and rampant provocateurs of all stripes. The informers had a blast! Once upon a time, foreigners called the 1980 Olympics a holiday of the Soviet police; there were too many guys in uniform in the first days on the Moscow streets.

On the anniversary of the August events, PublicPost suggests revisiting the August 19, 1991 edition of the Vremya program. The putschists speak at a press conference, there are tanks and barricades on the streets of Moscow, Yeltsin calls for a political strike at the White House.

On July 1 of last year, in Barabinsk, about 19.30, an unfamiliar man started an eight -year -old girl for a barn in the courtyard of the school and offered to commit what is qualified under today's laws as “sexual actions”. Frightened, the girl screamed. The man escaped. The girl spoke about what happened to a 13-year-old neighbor who rushed in search of a pervert. Two hours later, at the bus stop, her gaze stopped at the 25-year-old Anton Boychenko, whose appearance she considered suspicious.

Dear friends! Oddly enough, we have existed for two years. We did not run away and continue to work, contrary to all the forecasts of the pessimists. The community will fluff from the posts, we do not have time to implement projects, and more and more of them. The idea came up on August 25 and 26 to gather in Roshal, in Shatura, and celebrate this significant fact. Well, at the same time to work - spray the pines and oaks we planted from pests.

The interactive film PutschSelf is based on the personal memories of those who in August 1991 in one way or another participated in this event or were eyewitnesses to it. Among the heroes of the film are Shenderovich, Ryzhkov, documentarian Mansky, musician Letov, artists Gutov and Osmolovsky, journalists, engineers, carpenters and a host of other people of different ages and professions who were in different places of the country and the world in August 1991.

On August 10, 2012, employees of the Nizhny Novgorod Administrative Office of Administrative and Technical Control (ATI), on the direct order of the city manager of O. Condeshov, bypassed horticultural partnerships of the Nizhny Novgorod district in order to identify violations. There would be nothing remarkable in this if it were not for the participation in this event of a huge number of specially invited journalists of electronic and print media.

A new protest is brewing in Perm. On August 23, a picket will be held near the building of the Legislative Assembly against the closure of the “Mom’s Choice” program. Recently, the regional authorities announced the closure of the Mom's Choice program, which had existed for many years.

Dmitry Komar, Vladimir Usov and Ilya Krichevsky became symbols of democratic values ​​for the civil movement, for which they died in August 1991.

Which Surkov? Of course, Vladislav Yuryevich, or simply Slava, as he is called behind his back in the narrow circles of the Russian establishment, is the chief of staff of the government of the Russian Federation, for some time now. What else? In the modern history of the Fatherland, we have only Surkov, for some the odious architect of the modern political system, for others a creative, erudite manager.

The official nomination of the leader of the defenders of the Khimki Forest took place in the “Good Camp” of ecologists in the forest near Moscow. Alexei Navalny, Sergei Udaltsov and Dmitry Gudkov came to support Chirikova. The environmental rally began with a political part.

In the last six months, only the lazy have not noticed the disproportion in the number of protesters in the capital and regions. Of course, here we can refer to the fact that Muscovites have more than once in the last 20 years radically changed the situation in the country by taking to the streets to protest - and this will be to a certain extent justified. But this does not seem to be the main reason for this disproportion.

Yesterday I finally expressed my final opinion about the “Pussy Riot case.” And at the same time, I finally found out what social capital is in Yandex. It turned out that the hierarchy of social capital is the degree of conformity in relation to the generally accepted, widespread liberal opinion. The more the LJ owner is a conformist (that is, he shares the prejudices of the bourgeoisie and its hysterics), the higher he stands in the hierarchy of social capital.

I fully support the majority of the population of our country, the same majority that the marginalized people call the “herd” and other, more unpleasant epithets. I believe that our government is completely sane and normal.
