St. Petersburg film director Alexey German has recently been a Muscovite. But, as in his films, in life he also did the opposite. St. Petersburg residents are now en masse going to work in Moscow, leaving home and families in St. Petersburg.

Last week, Grigory Yavlinsky was convicted. The Beloretsk City Court considered the claim of the President of Bashkortostan Murtaza Rakhimov against the Yabloko association. The punishment turned out to be financially significant: Yavlinsky and his two “accomplices” were fined 800 thousand rubles. In the election leaflet that Yabloko distributed during the Duma campaign, Rakhimov’s regime was called “nomenklatura-feudal” and accused of strangling the free press and stealing national wealth.

Popular support and approval of someone's initiatives are always questionable. In general, unanimity is bad form. The famous writer and chairman of the Commission on Pardons under the President of the Russian Federation, Anatoly Pristavkin, announced his categorical rejection of the new Chechen war almost immediately after it began, in September last year.

The husband suspected that his wife was cheating on him and decided to check. He hid in the closet while his wife was not at home and waited. The wife comes, and with her is a handsome man - he hugs her and kisses her.

There are three basic rules for keeping your teeth in good shape: 1. Brush them twice a day. 2. Visit the dentist at least twice a year. 3. Don't poke your nose into other people's business. An old gypsy drives a gypsy child across the steppe with a whip: ≈ Get out of my yard! He begged: ≈ Dad! When will your yard end? At night, Malvina loved to look at the starry sky with one eye and remember the unforgettable kiss that Pinocchio gave her. A court hearing is in progress.

The genius Vladimir Mayakovsky had a lot of oddities: for example, no matter what he put on, there was always a soap dish in his pocket. Having shaken hands with someone, Vladimir Vladimirovich immediately ran to the restroom to wash his hands. People were offended by him. But Mayakovsky was not afraid to seem impolite or squeamish. He was afraid of infection.

During the president's recent visit to Yaroslavl, an unpleasant incident occurred for the mayor of the city and members of the personal security service of the head of state.

Dukalis, Larin, Solovets and Volkov will remain with Media-Most for at least three years. Moreover under such strict conditions that they talk about them not to everyone and only in a whisper. On television, it is customary to pay a lot for services. Those who pay little suffer. If only NTV had realized this earlier, never there would be no “Deadly force”. We realized it too late. But now, it seems, all the pawns have been put in place.

How scenes of violence are filmed Kicking Actors on the set usually don't beat each other up. True, there are smart directors who are not averse to provoking a real massacre for the sake of realism.

The rest is a matter of installation.

Recent premieres are replete with scenes of cruelty and violence. In Luc Besson's film "Joan of Arc" there are countless severed heads, in the acclaimed horror film "Deep Blue Sea" sharks eat people like little fish, and in "Fight Club" the bloodbath is presented as a kind of philosophy that saves heroes from the hopelessness of existence.

About the proximity, inevitability and even desirability of a “strong hand”, “iron fist”, etc. they hinted to us long before Colonel Putin appeared in the Kremlin. Lubyanka had attempted an assault on this height twice before (Beria didn’t reach it a little, Andropov grabbed it and... ran out of steam), but only the third attempt was successful.

If, friends, any of you decide that the design of Andrey Gubin’s new album “It Was, But It’s Gone...” is a tribute to the European fashion trend in a passion for all kinds of oriental delights, then this will be partly true. But one of the main explanations for such an extraordinary design of the new record, released by ARS Records, lies in the words of the artist himself: “Relatively recently I just “fell ill” with oriental cuisine!.. All this seemed terribly interesting and unusual to me.

Enrique Juliovich Iglesias, as he is sometimes called on Russian MTV, has perhaps surpassed even his star father, Julio Iglesias, in popularity, who, however, became famous for his love affairs almost more than for his voice. Enrique's song "Bailamos" hit number one on the US charts, girls squeal with delight at the fresh sex symbol's concerts, and the new superstar takes it all in with the air of a fame-weary macho.

Hollywood star Demi Moore has retrained from actress to housewife. Jealousy prompted her to take such a decisive step.
