The opposition is losing an unequal battle to the repressive machine of power. The idea of ​​the Opposition Coordination Council (OCC) failed. It will not include many political leaders of the left and right spectrum and prominent public figures. This means that the CSO will not be able to coordinate the actions of the main opposition forces and will not become an influential “shadow parliament.” CSR only legitimizes A. Navalny and some other leaders of the non-systemic opposition.

In theory, this post should not have been, because everything about the elections to the coordination council of the opposition has already been said and retold by many respected people several times.

A typical modern scientist sees the natural object under study as existing on its own, regardless of anyone’s subjective will. Its movement and change are explained exclusively by internal cause-and-effect relationships, and it seems pointless to talk about any purpose.

With constant pleasure reading “Letters to the President” by Alexander Minkin, I wanted to indulge in imitation and write something in the style of “Bring, Bear!” But nevertheless, he decided to remain faithful to his usual manner of communicating with a reasonable, reading, logically thinking person. In my post “Lies Kill,” I wrote that the authorities lied. Today I want to give a specific example of a lie. Anti-tobacco lies. More recently, D.A.

I remember when I lived in another country, Roman Viktyuk directed “Lolita” with the late Irina Metlitskaya in the title role. Now I live in another country. Where Leonid Mozgovoy does not have the opportunity to stage his production based on the same novel. No censorship - the demand of the St. Petersburg Cossacks . No one knows when it started in those parts, but the fate of theatrical productions now depends on it.

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro appeared in public for the first time in months. Last Saturday, in a hotel in Havana, he met with Venezuelan politician Elias Jaua, writes the newspaper El Nacional (Caracas).

Not long ago I asked federal journalists working in the south of the country what surprised them about the Caucasus. I want to quote you a few opinions. Alexander Sladkov : “In the Caucasus, a man is a warrior. This does not mean that he is always gloomy and in a boxing stance. A warrior is afraid of losing face. He is not indifferent to how he looks in the eyes of others. Or in the eyes of a visitor. If someone with fawns over a warrior, he perceives him as a prisoner.

When someone insulted your feelings, you can pounce on him with fists, bite by the leg, put in prison for 2 years. And you can invite you to a concert!

For example, we invite you on October 26 to ours, I am not afraid of this immodest word, a very beautiful charity concert of ancient music and good tales.

On October 21, an event took place, which, at first glance, will remain the history of the gone of the 20th century. In 1945, French women received the right to express their electoral will, received the right to take part in the elections. We all well remember the famous French women whose names are constantly on the lips: Jeanne d'Arc, Josephine, Coco Chanel.

Voted on the second try at the polling station. Voting failed yesterday. Since I was on a business trip, I completely missed all the news about preparations for the vote and went at random. I was pleasantly surprised by the organization of the elections - everything was explained in detail by the staff of the precinct commission. I was surprised by the turnout - I had to wait in line.
