The plot of the program "Vesti" about the action of the movement "Nashi", which aired yesterday at seven o'clock in the evening, tells about the events of the next day. “There, the members of the youth organization expressed their attitude to the rock concert in defense of the forest, which took place on Pushkinskaya Square,” the story says. However, the concert in defense of the Khimki forest with the participation of famous rock musicians will take place only today.

The war between Dmitry Medvedev and Alexander Lukashenko has reached a climax: Moscow and Minsk are preparing for an economic blockade of Belarus Last Friday, Yerevan hosted perhaps the strangest CSTO summit in the organization's history. The presidents who came to the meeting communicated selectively with each other, and all because of the conflict between Russia and Belarus. Dmitry Medvedev refused a bilateral meeting with Alexander Lukashenko. And he is not alone.

Russia will almost certainly win the fight for the right to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It satisfies all the important conditions: there are no stadiums, but there are good relations with the FIFA leadership. Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov was one of the guides of the FIFA Inspection Commission for the Luzhniki stadium.

Shortly before the evaluation commission, Chuck Blazer, Secretary General of the Football Confederation of North and Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), flew to Russia on a private visit. He is one of the 20 members of the FIFA executive committee, which will decide on December 2 this year which country will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Splits among militants, especially public ones, are quite rare. Newsweek recalled five high-profile quarrels Khattab and Basaev vs. Kadyrov and the Yamadayevs The second Chechen war, which developed into an all-Caucasus resistance, was the result of a split among the victorious militants of the first Chechen war. In 1998, Khattab, Arbi Barayev and Shamil Basayev found themselves on one side, and Aslan Maskhadov, Akhmad Kadyrov and the Yamadayev brothers on the other.

There was a split among the Caucasian extremists. Now a bloody competition can begin between them: whoever blows up the most is the most important He has never been seen like this. As if for support, he turns to his colleagues sitting next to him: confusion on his face, fussy hand movements. A shabby sweater instead of the usual camouflage. The usually monumentally calm and supremely self-confident head of the Caucasian Mujahideen and enemy of the Russian state No.

The budget reform stalled before it started. Government economists cannot agree on a list of programs that will make up a new type of budget When the reform of the Russian budget was still being discussed, its developers from the Ministry of Finance suggested calling megaprojects (such as supporting industry or housing construction) long-term targeted programs.

Last Monday, the gubernatorial reform of 2004 suffered a complete and final collapse. Judging by the motives for the resignation of Kaliningrad Governor Georgy Boos voiced in the Kremlin and in the United Russia party, the abolition of gubernatorial elections did not make sense. Let me remind you what it was all about. Throughout Vladimir Putin's first term, the Kremlin played furiously and passionately in regional elections.
