In Ashgabat, Putin was treated harshly. Access to his presidential website was blocked for journalists accredited at the CIS summit on December 5. However, like many other resources of the RuNet and the World Wide Web. Therefore, I do not even allow the thought that this is how the Turkmen brothers took revenge on the Russian president for the insult inflicted on them a month ago.

At a session on Thursday, deputies of the Lipetsk Regional Council approved the region's budget for 2013 with a deficit of 3 billion 169 million rubles, or 9.8% of expenses, the press service of the regional parliament told Interfax.

Photo: Reuters Mercury is one of the closest planets to us, but it is even closer to the Sun itself. Sending space probes there is a complex and difficult task: the temperature on the planet's surface sometimes exceeds 400°C - enough to melt lead. Even from Earth it is not easy to observe it - you have to look at a small and dim object against the background of an unbearably shining star. As a result, Mercury remains one of the most poorly studied planets in the solar system.

It is planned to soon replace standard Moscow suburban trains with eight-car mini-trains . And at rush hour, such a mini-train will begin to turn into a 16-car train right before our eyes. The new “transformable electric trains” will connect both at the depot and at large hub stations together with passengers. For example, at the Lyubertsy-1 station sections of two directions converge: Ryazan and Kazan.

Photo: ITAR-TASS In 2013, the Ministry of Culture plans to spend 5.3 billion rubles on supporting domestic cinema. As Izvestia writes , this is stated in a letter that the head of the Ministry of Culture Vladimir Medinsky sent to the government. From the text of the document it follows that not all filmmakers will receive the money: subsidies are waiting only for those who make films corresponding to the strategic interests of the state.

Until the moment my husband asked if I would go with him to Jakarta, where he was offered an interesting job, all I knew about it was that it was the capital of Indonesia. And I knew about Indonesia that the famous resort place Bali is located in this country. While the question of whether we were going or not was being decided, I learned a lot more about Indonesia.

A teacher of Russian language and literature at St. Petersburg school No. 575, Tatyana Ivanova, won the “New Intelligentsia - 2012” competition for the Moscow News newspaper award in the “Act of the Year” category. As the chairman of polling station No. 99 in St. Petersburg, she spoke about the administrative pressure exerted on members of the PEC, as well as about the falsifications that accompanied the elections in December 2011. The head of the city education department, T.

Investigators during a search in colony No. 6 of Kopeisk, Chelyabinsk region, seized weapons, equipment and financial documents, the investigative department of the Investigative Committee for the region reported on Thursday. “During the searches, investigators seized a large number of knives and sabers produced on the territory of the correctional institution, although the institution does not have permission to operate a production facility for the manufacture of these products.

Whether there is a black market for the sale and purchase of organs in Russia is a controversial issue. If something like this happens, then journalists should deal with this issue together with law enforcement agencies, since this matter is prohibited in our country. However, despite this, the Internet is teeming with advertisements for the purchase and sale of donor material. What is this? Real proposals or another scheme to scam desperate people by domestic scammers?

In the photo: sociologist Alexander Zhukovsky More than a month ago, or rather on October 19, 2012, I wrote a post where I predicted personnel purges that would inevitably begin by the governor of the Novgorod region S.G. Mitin http://ev-chuprunov.livejournal.com/76209.html . It has begun. As I predicted, Mitin recently fired his adviser, sociologist A.I. Zhukovsky. A source in the administration informed me about the fact of dismissal on Friday.

Their books—Belov, Shukshin, Tendryakov—our great countryside writers—stand on my shelf, studded with bookmarks, noticeably shabby, but always loved. When, exhausted and devastated, you return from the fussy and cynical Moscow jungle to your log-cut wooden house, your hand will reach out to the spines of treasured books. It happens that you can open Tendryakov’s “Death”, Shukshin’s “Countrymen” or Belov’s “Business as Usual” from anywhere - and for me there is no better psychotherapy.

Berlin, December 6th. Already in the morning, German children found the first Christmas gifts in their boots. Today, St. Nicholasus Day is celebrated here, that is, in fact, the German Santa Claus. Together with the holiday, real Russian winter came to the capital of Germany. Unlike children and tourists from the southern countries, most of whom see snow for the first time in their lives, in Berlin, not everyone was happy with minus temperature. Today the Russian embassy is especially cold.

The fact that the presidential administration decided to raise patriots, starting right from kindergartens, may be true. And most likely right. But there are not yet enough kindergartens for all the children. Yes, there are great difficulties with personnel. Yes, in general, there is no money yet. But these are all details; trifles and little things. Not the main thing. And kindergartens, and teachers, and the amount of money supply can be increased if desired. If desired, of course.

Human rights activists see problems and violations in the penal system of the Nizhny Novgorod region that are similar to those identified in colony N6 in Kopeisk, Chelyabinsk region, where a protest rally by prisoners took place at the end of November.
