One of the main achievements of the current president of Russia, in my opinion, is his young age. Living in a country, the head of which, according to the passport is a little younger than me, I have been experiencing problems for the first time in my life with a sense of historical vector, with its direction. In fact: the psychophysiological seniority (to put it mildly) the head of the country is the order of things that has been driven into the blood of far from one generation.

The remarkable Moscow literature teacher Lev Solomonovich Aizerman devoted more than one article to criticism of the Unified State Exam in Literature. He spoke and is not against the “Unified State Exam” in general (i.e., an exam that is compiled and checked by an independent commission), but against the Unified State Examination in literature in the form that exists today.

From the editorial office. After the inauguration of Viktor Yanukovych, several paramount problems arose to him as the President of Ukraine: the resignation of the government of Yulia Tymoshenko, the formation of a new parliamentary coalition and the new government.

From the editorial office. The presidency of Dmitry Medvedev is marked by a certain turn in ideology. A new system of views arose - progressism as a political attitude to the development of society and its accelerated advance into the future. Why in Russia and in the West they interpret the word “progressism” so differently? Is the “progressism” of a new ideology for the Russian political landscape, fundamentally different from the liberalism of the 90s era?

The reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long been ripened. It is required by society, each time terrified by one or another incident in which an employee of the Ministry of the Interior is involved. However, statistics indicate that the attitude of society towards the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few years has sharply worsened - it is impossible. Rather, it improves, despite the replicated scandals.

From the editorial office. Viktor Yanukovych, the President of Ukraine and the head of the "Party of Regions", begins to build a new relationship between Ukraine and Russia. What awaits the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, Gas supply and Energotransit through Ukraine? What factors will determine Yanukovych's policy? And what models of economic cooperation is the most favorable for the Ukrainian elite?

I would not want to start an article with an answer to one of the reproaches expressed to me, but since it is important and relevant for further reasoning, I will do it here. Everything that I wrote about, in addition to the analysis of the educational situation and historical excursions, was an intellectual experiment. He had two prerequisites, quite transparent, but not expressed openly.

The remarkable Moscow teacher Lev Solomonovich Aizerman Aizerman to criticize the unified state exam in literature devoted more than one article. He opposed and does not opposed the “Unified State Exam” in general (i.e. such an exam that is drawn up and is checked by an independent commission), but against the exam in literature in the current form.

Medvedev and Obama are figures of national consensus, including between the intellectual and power. At the same time, as I understand it, both are representatives of moderate liberal thisism, statesmen. But the same concepts for us and America can mean different things. Let's say the East and the West. For us, to move the "deep" of the country - this means east. And for them - the opposite, it will just be west. Returning to more specific concepts.

This is just the first swallow in the huge flock of these swallows, which cannot be noticed simply impossible. And there is no one to blame her. This is our general. I do not really like sports, and I also do not consider the Olympics so indispensable for the good of the country and humanity, but in these circumstances I cannot but note that this is an ideal space for the manifestation of the spirit of the Russian people. The Olympiad and sports have the meaning primarily ideological.

About our enchanting and quite, in general, the predictable loss at the Olympics is written and said a lot. And about the crisis of looting, and about the coming catastrophism, and about the fact that this loss is the rehearsal of the upcoming apocalypse. I once drove in a car with the sport-radio, and there almost crying man yells to the commentator: “ You understand, their losing, it’s like amputation! Like amputation, you understand?! I haven’t taken my leg!
