Guest What a shame! And we are also indignant that Japan demands the island. Yes, soon there will be no one to defend the homeland, they have sent the people nowhere further. Galina, you take over the mayor’s office, it’s more comfortable there, and let him sit in your room. Guest Yes, a familiar situation. And about the callousness and rudeness of officials. The City Hall of Lipetsk is busy building fountains and monuments, but they have no time for you.

The Socialist Revolutionary Congress was held in anti-crisis mode, abandoning the pretentious Kremlin Palace. A member of A Just Russia, director Yuri Grymov, who was responsible for organizing the event, said that holding an expensive congress now would only cause misunderstanding among voters: “It’s like wearing a Brioni suit.” And, according to the director, there are still enough such dudes in politics.

– You did not immediately agree to judge “Battle”. Why? – Since we ourselves know how to mislead, make people believe in an illusion, we had serious doubts whether there are people who have truly extrasensory abilities. My brothers and I took an amateurish position: “Until I see it, I won’t believe it.” – And what convinced you? – The first test: the magicians had to find my brother Andrei in one of the trunks. About 20 people tried - all in vain.

Features of the national investigation “Show me how they did it,” I ask 25-year-old Alexei Zhegulsky from Voronezh. He vividly describes how in mid-May, employees of the city’s Central District Department of Internal Affairs, using a crowbar, tried to get him to confess to a crime that he did not commit. – Look: you squat down and put your hands down. They are handcuffed in front of their shins. And then a crowbar is inserted between the knees and hands and lifted with it.

Fedor Bondarchuk We have an independent press. I heartily congratulate Sobesednik on this important date! Thank you for your professionalism, quality materials and talented journalists. Special words of gratitude to Dmitry Bykov, the person who was not afraid to support me at a time when many spoke impartially about my then-unreleased project “Inhabited Island”. This turned out to be possible only thanks to the existence of an independent press - such as Sobesednik!

Grigory Chkhartishvili Become the fourth estate Congratulations on reaching maturity. I wish with all my heart that interesting times will come for the Russian press and it will once again become the fourth estate.

We are already accustomed to living like in America - on credit. Often, when buying an item in installments, we thought: we can handle it, it’s just pennies. Then these “kopecks” add up to a whole salary, and it is no longer clear what to live on. When jumping into the next installment plan, we advise you to pay attention to points that will help make your purchase a little cheaper. Better cash The easiest way to avoid overpayments is not to buy things in installments.

Lolita Milyavskaya They never became tabloid - 25 years is an amazingly long time. Almost a life sentence. That is, on the contrary, of course: it is a lifelong pleasure to have you as an interlocutor. I thank you for the fact that in all this time you have never become a tabloid. How did you manage? How do you make money? 25 – and no porn. I don't understand how you survive. Does that really happen? It probably happens. When you are still only 25.

Gennady Onishchenko For logic The chief sanitary doctor recently received a passport as a citizen of South Ossetia. Our law prohibits civil servants from having dual citizenship, but Onishchenko is not going to leave his post: “I didn’t write an application to be granted a second citizenship. I just take it as an assessment of me.” When will the prosecutor's office evaluate you? Boris Nemtsov For advice In New York, he gave Obama advice on how to behave during his visit to Moscow.

The news of the death of Oleg Vakulovsky came like a bolt from the blue. I met him at Vzglyad, but we worked closely together later – at TVC, VGTRK. He was a very capable guy. And, it seems to me, he is more of a writer than a television personality (although he has become a professional in this area). She and Lena Hanga began a series of interesting historical detective stories. Oleg was a man greedy for a variety of work. It’s scary, of course, to leave at that age. It was so unexpected...

Our people are being insulted again! Only now it’s not about doping scandals, but about the swimsuits of Russian women, which allegedly do not meet the standards. Because of the latest equipment, the world records of Anastasia Zueva and Yulia Efimova were invalidated, and the girls will not receive 30 thousand euros each, which are due for established achievements.

The Federal Customs Service (FCS) is going to make changes to the Customs Code, which will hit hard for citizens making purchases abroad. The result of the changes will be a reduction in the cost of goods imported into Russia duty-free from 65 thousand rubles to 20. That is, even for a coat purchased somewhere in Europe, you will have to pay again - 30% of the cost. As the Federal Customs Service assures, everything is being done to support domestic producers and combat shuttle smuggling.

Aries. Doing something while simultaneously getting benefit and pleasure from it is not easy. But you will succeed with excellent results. Taurus. Without expecting a dirty trick from those who are younger, be prepared that their thoughts are not at all as disinterested as it seems at first glance. Twins. The initiative in communication should now belong only to you. Determine both the topics for conversations with others and the general tone of the conversation. Cancer.
