AS VLADIMIR PUTIN BELIEVES, PARTICIPANTS IN COMBAT “CAN BE TRUSTED IN RUSSIA.” THEY ARE READY TO PROVIDE THEM WITH UNprecedented PRIVILEGES AND EVEN EXEMPT FROM SOME LAWS. BUT HERE IS THE REAL POWER THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A “NEW OPRICHNINA” FROM THE VETERANS.

Exchange of life for freedom, unfulfilled sentences, pardons - the participation of prisoners in the SVO is officially recognized and has ceased to be a secret. It is also no secret that many of them, after serving, return to the zone. Not always though. For example, veteran Ilya Metlitsky, who stalked his friend and once tried to inject a syringe with an unknown liquid similar to blood into her chest, got off with a fine of 25 thousand rubles.

Even those who are not at all interested in sports have probably seen this picture. BRICS Games, the podium, and on it is the winner in men's synchronized swimming, Alexander Maltsev. One. The winner is also the only participant. Everyone, of course, joked and lamented that they didn’t dive into the pool that day in Kazan (then they could have become medalists). We also didn’t forget to remember that in another type of program, Maltsev still had one opponent - from Thailand.

COLLEAGUES AND COMRADES MOSTLY FROM ABROAD ALSO BRAND Ivan AND DEMAND AN ANSWER. BUT NOT FOR THE BLACK SQUARE ON THE AVATAR, BUT FOR THE FACT THAT HE OBVIOUSLY WENT BACK TO TV, AND THEREFORE HE IS CAREFUL, SILENT Over the last few days, Okudzhav’s words have been constantly spinning in my head: “Why are you Vanka Morozov?

Whose income is being eaten up by inflation? From the point of view of the Central Bank, the ruble is weakening not so much against the dollar as against goods and services - this is evidenced by the latest data on regional inflation, published on June 21, 2024. Price growth accelerated in 71 regions of Russia. The most significant acceleration of inflation was noted in the North Caucasus Federal District.

## "Our widows" In Kurgan, the branch of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation is headed by a well-known social activist in the region, deputy of the Kurgan City Duma Natalya Viktorovna Semina. Previously, for ten years, this fragile, petite woman helped in the rehabilitation of people with addictions. Now he meets veterans. There is also a kind of work with dependencies. I visited the foundation at the end of May last year, shortly after its opening. A lot has changed since then.

SEEKING THE GUILTY WHERE THEY ARE NOT AND FLIRTING WITH TERRORISTS MEANS ALLOWING NEW TRAGEDIES As reported on the website of the Investigative Committee of Russia, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, “taking into account the high public response, as well as the need to ensure the most complete, prompt and objective investigation, a decision was made to transfer the criminal case for further investigation to the central office of the department.” At the

## Return to context The battle of narratives follows the rules of the battle of psychics, where intonation is more important than meaning. In order to free ourselves from this web of fake semantic shades and emotional overexposures, it is necessary to return the events under discussion to their real historical context.

Mikhail Zhvanetsky had a wonderful remark about the imagination being turned on and off - that many things look completely different depending on whether the observer’s own imagination is activated or not. This has a lot to do with our perception of the 90s. We turn on the imagination - and we see the rise of the people's spirit, the movement of the masses towards freedom, the chance to radically change the fate of the country and our own, which we are Mirage of no return.

Unwanted growth The cessation of trading on the Moscow Exchange after new American sanctions resulted in a strengthening of the ruble against the dollar. This gave rise to individual commentators talking about the successful “decoupling” of the ruble from the currencies of developed countries and the growing status of Russian banknotes. And some individuals even began to rejoice at the “dedollarization”, which, if it happens, is only in their inflamed consciousness.

WHAT RELIGIOUS CONTEXTS ARE BEHIND THE TERROR ATTACKS IN DAGESTAN In the center of Derbent, the oldest city in the Russian Federation, whose history, according to various sources, dates back from 2 to 5 thousand years, stands the “Monument to the Friendship of Three Religions.” An imam, a priest and a rabbi are sitting at the tea table. Within a radius of 300 meters from the composition there is an Orthodox Church of the Intercession, an Armenian temple, a mosque and a synagogue.
