On March 16, 2014, a vote (“referendum”) was organized in Crimea. We asked social geographer Alexander Kireev , leaving aside all legal and political issues, to evaluate the published results in terms of their statistical credibility. In order to statistically check the results of the referendum in Crimea “for purity”, we, admittedly, do not have much data. But those that exist indicate that the turnout and results in Crimea were falsified.

Don’t think that in the joy of the annexation of Crimea, I’m so drunk that I can’t write the word “now.” Undoubtedly, we will definitely clink glasses over Crimea, but that’s not what I’m talking about now.

In the previous issue of TrV , an interview between Mikhail Gelfand and Academician Zhizhchenko was published . I want to express my point of view on an issue that hurt me personally and, probably, hurt a hundred times more than the person who was given the worst insult in our circle: accused of lack of professionalism. All of us, TrV readers, understand this very well. A hint of non-standard sexual preferences is better than a public accusation of lack of competence and ability.

Irina Levontina I came across this wonderful expression in an advertisement for shower gel - and it seems to well describe the characteristics of our time. In general, these days, a linguist interested in the development of the Russian language is bombarded with material in quantities that exceed research capabilities.
