After the explosion on Pushkin Square in the Izmailovo district hospital, we managed to find a girl who talked about something that could not possibly have been captured on camera. “When my friend and I barely made it out into the light, there were no police or firefighters yet. “And there were journalists,” the girl said, confused. “They pushed away the wounded people and ran downstairs.

August and September are beach months. It’s not just us mere mortals who are moving closer to the equator; half the government has occupied state dachas in the vicinity of Sochi. However, this is not the time for Kremlin doctors to relax. On the luxurious beaches, their wards, like all other holidaymakers, are in for very unpleasant surprises. Traditional sunburns, sunstroke, and even seemingly harmless water that gets into your ears while swimming can damage your health.

The other day, the Council of Bishops discussed the issue of canonization of the executed royal family, headed by Nicholas II. The fact that people die and that some of them later become saints has been known for a long time. But lately we haven’t been spoiled with new names on this list. We asked our celebrities to think about who, in principle, could be called a saint. Klara Novikova, remembering: ≈ There is one person who is honest to the end, wheezing and screaming. This is Vysotsky.

“Another drawback of Eastern men: in Japan it is customary for a woman to open the door.” “I myself” (TV-6) “Divine surgery took place today in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.” “This is what the Spartak fans themselves told us: “We didn’t touch any of the people, we only slightly injured the cops...” “Today” (NTV) “After feeding on the Vologda fields, the locusts flew to Kazakhstan. She prefers to breed there.” “Time” (ORT)

It seems that for the first time in many years I stopped believing in the luck of Boris Berezovsky, our repeated savior.

People suffering from stomach ulcers should give up all types of canned food - both factory-made and even home-made. The only thing you can enjoy in winter is homemade squash caviar (but always without pepper and with a little salt). You can get rid of the disgusting smell of sweat without expensive deodorants.

The near Moscow region, where every house is someone's mansion - Pugacheva, Luzhkov, Berezovsky or Voloshin - can become a goldmine for Moscow travel agencies.

Do you want to go blind? Please! Every day it’s the same thing: garages in the yard, the conductor on the train, the boss at work, again the conductor on the train and garages in the yard. After a couple of years of such a life, I want to exclaim: my eyes would not look! What, this is a thought! Why suffer while watching joyless pictures? If you don't want to, don't look! It is very easy to lose sight. 1. Why do you think the TV was made so small? That's right, to fit into your shack.

A smoking father is not a gift It is unfair to shift all responsibility for the child's health to the mother.

Research has confirmed this: chemicals in tobacco smoke disrupt the structure of sperm, which leads to the development of malignant tumors in future offspring. There is something to think about.

The girl brought her friend home. While she is making coffee in the kitchen, he walks around the house, looking at everything. Suddenly he sees: near the sofa there is a beautiful Chinese vase. He stuck his hand in there and asked: ≈ Oh, what is this? ≈ Ah, this! These are my grandfather's ashes... The guy pulled his hand out of fear and was shaking all over. ≈ ... He’s too damn lazy to go to the kitchen for an ashtray! What is the difference between a winter fisherman and a summer fisherman?

Viktor Gitin, State Duma deputy of the 2nd convocation from the Yabloko faction, former deputy chairman of the budget committee, made a sensational statement this week.

“On our channel we still laughed only once a week, on Sundays. The broadcasting style would have to be changed sooner or later,” “The Fourth Button” announced its premiere.

Something new appeared on the railways last week. The train is coming along, and suddenly - wait, locomotive, don’t knock the wheels. Or rather, wait, electric locomotive! Due to a power outage on sections of more than 300 km, the work of the Trans-Baikal Railway was blocked, and traffic on the Trans-Siberian Railway was suspended. Wires were de-energized on the North Caucasian, South-Eastern, Far Eastern, Gorky, and Northern railways. Even on Moskovskaya and Oktyabrskaya.

Nikolai Vasilyevich invited me to lunch. Probably, it could be called a business lunch, since the pleasant process of eating was combined with the official need to conduct (give) an interview. At first we talked for a long time and in detail about the essence of the polemic between the President of Chuvashia and the President of Russia because of the Kremlin’s bills on reforming federal authorities.
