Tomorrow in Voronezh will be a picket against the law on the prohibition of "propaganda of homosexuality." I am Andrey Nasonov, one of his organizers. I think at least that is why my post will be interesting to those who can read and think. In the morning my mother called me. She is my whole life. She loves me. She is disabled and considers me the only person who makes her life bright and happy.

The Sakharov Center wondered whether the creative class could change Russia . The question is relevant and tormenting many over the past year. The creative class - like any other in our country - can only change itself, which, by the way, it did a long time ago. The specificity of our life is parallel existence. Power, different classes, business (with the exception of the powerful one), and the criminal world coexist, depending little on each other, without truly intersecting.

It just so happens that I am writing this on the day of remembrance of the murdered anti-fascists Baburova and Markelov and the day after the suicide of the National Bolshevik-other-Russian Dolmatov. Don't you think that some kind of crap is happening in the country? Don’t it seem to our opposition “leaders” that it’s time to tie up their ambitions in a bag and drown them in the outhouse?

I am writing hot on the heels of her broadcast on January 19, 2013 at 19:00 on the radio station “Echo of Moscow”. In the finale, she briefly responded to a request from listeners to comment on the fact that approximately 70% of Russians support the “Dima Yakovlev Law.” Yulia Leonidovna replied that, in her opinion, the mob is the mob. She believes that in a state where the share of Internet users, Facebook and Twitter is very high, everyone who wants can educate themselves on this matter.

About 500 people walked along the Boulevard Ring, from Pushkinskaya Square to the intersection with New Arbat.

The suicide note of the Other Russia activist and rocket engineer Alexander Dolmatov, who committed suicide in the Netherlands, was published on Twitter by journalist Oleg Kashin. According to Kashin, a scan of the note was sent to him by the writer Sergei Shargunov. “I’m in Sasha Dolmatov’s apartment. I just read his suicide note with his mother. He was driven to suicide. If it was suicide.

I would like to begin today’s sermon, dedicated to the confession of the Apostle Peter, with a different passage that was already heard at the liturgy. Those events took place on the eve of the outcome - the Transfiguration on the Mount, the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. We will return to these events later, of course.

In Moscow, at the age of 93, the writer Ivan Shevtsov died, having devoted his entire adult life, starting from the late 1940s, to the fight against rootless cosmopolitans (read: Jews and persons related to them) through the means of artistic prose. Although Shevtsov devoted at least a dozen large and small opuses to the topic of Jewish dominance and the fight against it, his first novel entitled “Aphids” remained the most famous work of the classic of Soviet anti-Semitic literature.

On January 17, Russian citizen Alexander Dolmatov, whose application for international protection was rejected a few days earlier, committed suicide in the Netherlands. We believe that the blame for the death of this man lies with the authorities of the Russian Federation, who forced him to leave the country. At the same time, we express concern about the actions of the authorities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and draw their attention to the following facts.

On January 18, the Erarta Gallery hosted a lecture by Mikhail Piotrovsky on the topic “The Museum as a Mirror of Society.” The person, place and topic simply asked for an action in defense of the Mayakovsky Museum. Actually, that’s what we did: by 19:00 a group of comrades was at Erarta. But not everything went according to plan.

Photo: ITAR-TASS Return to the project "Lingva Frank" Russian language "You should not know the Latvian language, you must know your place!" -Something like this was the phrase of one of the deputies of the Latvian Sejm, which he said in the early 90s. And in general, the entire language policy of the Latvian state all these 20 years of independence quite accurately followed this course. By the end of the 80s of the last century, Latvia was one of the most "Russian" republics of the USSR.

In the national world, the main thing is what? - Family. Yes, yes, family, it is not just the first cell from which any national world consists, but also an image of the universe, a model, what this world strives for, a kind of normal standard of any social education. They say that in any world, family is the most important thing, because people always wish each other health and family happiness. Only it is doubtful.

How to solve the problem of shortage of places in kindergartens? A particularly heated discussion on this issue arose after the introduction of a bill on the payment of compensation to parents whose children cannot attend preschool institutions due to lack of places.
