The bomb blast in the car of the St. Petersburg subway took away human lives and at the same time confidence in total security - especially given that bold terrorist attacks of this type were not in our country for a long time.
Updated data on the explosions in the St. Petersburg metro
The terrorist attack in St. Petersburg rallied people
Project "ZZ". Consequences of the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg: how it is seen in the West
The terrible tragedy in the St. Petersburg subway shook the country. As soon as the suicide bomber detonated the explosive device, and as soon as this information was published in the media, all sorts of experts began to gather once again with thoughts and "practical suggestions": from "oblige all employees of the metro and other types of public transport companies to inspect each passenger" to “All polls are retired, to recruit those who don’t take bribes”. And after all this kind of discussion - every time after every such incident. Moreover, not all experts who are invited to the central channels, and who “know everything” about Syria and Ukraine, are ready to admit an obvious fact: Russia, i.e. we all, in fact, live in conditions of undeclared war, and only by joint efforts without ridiculous heralds, fever and froth from the mouth in this war can one gain the upper hand.

You never know what class you're in, or when the next exam is.
You can't even write off because no one else has that option. "
Yesterday, many St. Petersburg people passed their regular exam in school of life. And thank God, many have passed it.
Eternal memory to the dead. May the Lord forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, and rest in the heavenly villages.
Words of support and condolences to relatives.
The quickest recovery to the injured.
And we all have wisdom and perseverance.

Alexander Solovyov is suspected of accepting bribes totaling 140 million rubles. A criminal case was initiated against the official under the article on receiving a bribe on a particularly large scale.
The President of the Russian Federation signed a decree on the removal from office of the head of Udmurtia A. Solovyov
The main question that arises when reviewing personnel with the arrested A. Solovyov is perhaps the following: after what time it turns out that the person made a deal with the investigation, millions, if there were, returned, and that the prosecutor’s office is the Republic of Udmurtia now have no complaints?
But how powerful it still sounds - “abandoned”. Well, just Louis XVI ...

Country Prestige
What are the two actually diametrically opposite statements made during the week. One thing was done by the head of the board of Sberbank, German Gref, at the Exchange Forum, saying that the Russian economy would be “saved by privatization”. And the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin did another at an international scientific-practical conference dedicated to the problems of fighting corruption. According to Bastrykin, “only an amendment to return the real confiscation of property as a form of punishment can defeat corruption.”
And what if a corrupt official has nothing at all? - There is not a penny on the account, and from personal housing - a country house from unwashed wood. After all, this is our case all the time. And what would you do? - do not confiscate the same property of the wife, mother-in-law, daughter with son or great-uncle ... These are all honest-overworking ... - And yachts, and villas, and gilded plumbing to raise the prestige of the country. Is it possible to go against the law? Son is not responsible for his father ...

About "Volyn" and toilet
Nine years after Katyn, A. Wajda, another Polish director, Wojciech Smazhovsky, made the film Volyn, which tells about the atrocities of Bandera against the Polish population at the very height of World War II. The film was released at the end of last year, managed to get five Polish awards and nominations (including the Polish TV Chairman's Award), but the main public effect of its release, perhaps, is only now beginning to gain momentum (outside Poland).
"Katyn", "Volyn" ... Polish directors attacked the "gold" vein. And now this residential and strive to destroy the great international historical brotherhood of the Polish and Ukrainian peoples ... It would be okay only Polish and Russian. But here - Ukrainian ... And this, you know, is a serious matter ...
They say that they are from Kiev: Hey, throw your pansy antics! But not that ... after the abolition of the visa regime with the EU we will not go to wash the toilet bowls, but we will go, in spite of all, to the Czechs. Here and bite our displeasure. And the Poles were so scared, so scared. It is understandable - the plumber itself is no longer cleaned by hand ...

Bandera and * Bandera * were Polish citizens who saw enough that the Poles, OFFICIALLY and with the full support of the police, worked against the local population and took revenge at the first opportunity. Moreover, they took revenge in the same ways, right up to sawing the living Poles.
Everything happened mirror already against the Poles. Local only outright bandits found protection from Polish looting. By the way, the Poles were destroyed not only * Bandera *, but also all who could, in Belarus and the Baltic States. No wonder the Poles remember only those who were killed, and not that the same Poles were doing with the full support of the police with the local population.

Waiting for the magic Pendel
Let's try to forget the frankly populist speeches of some non-specialists about “throwing American astronauts on the ISS using a trampoline”, for today we should think about this topic ourselves. And as far as the trampoline theme is real for the Russian cosmonautics, the question is the near future.
Guided by the fact that until the end of the joint operation period, the ISS remains seven years, we can say: WHOLE SEVEN YEARS !!! The irony is that in this time we even have time to prepare for the Olympics in the complete absence of any initial infrastructure. At the same time, they are preparing most actively through the “gruel of the mother” at the very final stage, when all the terms, as they say, “burn”. Apparently, and in this case it may happen that way - until the deadlines “are burned out”, not everyone will “scratch” the matter, rolling up their sleeves. Yes, and from the supreme has not yet arrived, and therefore - "in anticipation of the magic Pendel," after which it suddenly turns out that we are able to create cosmodromes, and engines for rockets.

Afterword to the protests
An unauthorized rally and walk "against corruption" at the call of Yale University graduate Alexei Navalny on March 26 in Moscow brought him what is called a monastery. It's not even that they were a failure, several thousand people came, and most of them were onlookers, the police detained the entire 500 people. Compare: on the march "Occupy" in New York, the American police detained more than 1200 activists with the active use of special means.
And the whole thing in the upcoming elections. If the current government is preparing for them, then what reasons should not give an opportunity to prepare for them and opponents of the current government? And if the authorities have their own resources, then for the opponents, in this case, all means are “good” - hand out “iPhones”, take the students to the streets. Students do not go - bring schoolchildren Well, etc. The principle, which was repeatedly worked out in the course of “facebook” protests in other countries, is being tried to be dragged into Russia for exactly the same rut.
Well, talk about the "fifth column" can, of course, be long. The fact is that this same column has always existed in the country, and what its activities led to is well known. Another thing is that sometimes many of us are tempting to fantasize for themselves that these are not destructive forces at all, but true fighters for prosperity and freedom that take people to the streets. Let's not be naive.

Pensions and the Schrödinger equation
The document was prepared in pursuance of the ruling of the Constitutional Court (CC) of Russia.
“Now, if the state made a mistake and the person for some technical reasons received a pension incorrectly, then the state recognizes the pension as legal.”
Another question: if the pension is “wrongly” added, it is not at all in favor of the pensioner, then the state, on the basis of the new decree, will also credit it as legal? After all, most often this is the case, because checking formulas with “imaginary and complex numbers” that are used by the relevant departments when calculating pensions is impossible, as is fashionable to say, from the word. A botoinovnik, planted in the office of the retirement department, has been trained to answer the question so notably that, in order to understate the real payments, he can explain on his fingers the use of even the Schrödinger equation, which in any case is included in the calculation of domestic pensions ...

About whales and elephants
On Friday, the solemn ceremony of launching the first Russian multipurpose nuclear submarine of the 885M Yasen-M-Kazan project took place at the Sevmash plant. The commander, captain of the first rank, Alexander Beketov, broke the traditional bottle of champagne on board the ship.
And after the media, expert comments appeared on how this submarine would carry any aircraft carrier with one torpedo.
Frankly, such statements as “destroy one torpedo,” “land on one shot,” “turn into radioactive ashes” do not cause anything but the desire to shrug. Well, okay, when it comes to the desire to advertise these or other weapons, in order to increase demand from foreign customers. There you can at least “one shot”, at least “from a half-kick,” at least “like two fingers” ... But here the atomic submarine, which Russia certainly is not going to export to anyone. Therefore, an attempt to “compare” is akin to the question of “who is stronger - a whale or an elephant?” With simultaneous defeat of the imagination with super-competence ...

Overthrow Assad? No, this topic Washington is no longer interested. About the reluctance to "leave" Assad said the US Permanent Representative to the UN Nikki Haley. However, she later stated the opposite.
The departure of Bashar al-Assad from power is no longer an American priority with regard to Syria, the US Permanent Representative to the UN, Nikki Haley, said.
Her statement echoes the statement that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made the day before. According to him, the fate of Assad must be decided by the citizens of Syria.
Then, in an interview with the television company ABC News (it was published on 2 on April), the same Haley noted that there is “no love” between the United States and Russia. The Syrian president needs ... to leave the government. Moreover, he should be brought to responsibility: “We must put pressure on Russia and Iran. We want Russia to know how dangerous Assad is in power, we want Iran to exert its influence on the situation in Syria. And we want to bring Assad to justice for the crimes he committed. ”
So the United States changes its claims like gloves. Russia continues to stand its ground: the fate of Bashar Assad must be decided by the Syrian people.
Are the wearers tired or the conscience awoke? For a moment...
Let Assad rule in Syria, USA agree
In addition to the manipulation of statements at the UN level, Westerners arranged a new provocation against Syria. More precisely, the old one. Associated with chemical weapons, on the subject of which the brewer Obama liked to speculate.
In the black of this provocation, "white helmets" were mixed up, which were previously used in the information war against the ATS (in the liberation of Aleppo). 4 April thundered "news": the Syrian army allegedly used chemical again weapon. Place of "use": the city of Khan Sheikhun Province Idlib. According to various media reports, the number of victims ranges from 58 to 100.
“White Helmets” volunteers, notes E. Gromova, flash on TV screens: they are supposedly carrying out “rescue work”. An office called “Idlib Media Center”, including including “white helmets”, circulates rumors about the “use” by Syria, and even the Russian Space Forces of the Russian Federation of chemical weapons against civilians, the columnist points out.
However, the case was not limited to "helmets" and fabrications about chemical weapons. The West has gone much further in its provocations. Read about it in the next story.

Sixty "Tomahawks" from Mr. Trump
The main reason for the provocations of militants in the province of Idlib cleared up, after which the major foreign media announced the “chemical attack of the civilian population by the Assad regime”. It turns out that statements about the use of chemical weapons were only a reason for attacking Syria.
Attacks on Syrian military targets were inflicted by cruise missiles. The United States launched several dozen Tomahawk missiles at an airfield in the province of Homs. According to some reports, we are talking about no less than 60 rockets. In Washington, they said that it was from this airfield that Syrian planes took off, striking Idlib.
Against this background, there are reports that Russia is receiving "direct signals through the UN structures" about US preparations for a large-scale ground invasion of the SAR.
United States released 60 "Tomahawks" on military sites in Syria
Mr Trump once again proved that he is the direct heir to the foreign policy line pursued by the previous president. Whatever the beginning of Barack Obama abroad - almost all of this team Trump supports and actively develops. The list includes a growing geopolitical confrontation with China, a cold war with Russia, and provocations against Syria, and now there are missiles. In this regard, Trump has already gone much further than Obama's “peacemaker”. It is obvious that the new American president, who chose an idol in the form of Reagan, is trying to declare himself as a real “hawk”. Obama was a flower, and this one will be a berry.

To war one wants
More than once we have written on “VO” about the attempts of Western politicians and the military to teach the European people to the coming war with “aggressive” Russia, which is asleep and sees how to occupy the small Baltic countries and defenseless Poland. Now the advanced press has already reached the point of talking about the use of depleted uranium shells. Against whom, I wonder?
In the famous journal The National Interest, a specialist discusses the use by the US ground forces of “uranium silver bullets” (the poetic nickname for terrible shells for tanksstuffed with depleted uranium, op amp). Such ammunition, they say, would be a demonstration of the superiority of American forces. With tanks armed with such ammunition, "no one would fight." Already now this "no one wants." After all, it is clear that the use of depleted uranium in the design of shells for tanks led to superiority in the armament of the American Abrams, the analyst is sure. Of course, it is not known how long the American combination of two guns and ammunition with op-amps will exceed the protective armor of enemy tanks, but given the excellent armor penetration, you can be sure that the op-amps will be used in the armament of a new generation of U.S. army tanks, the publication said.
Tanks "Abrams", we add, is not far from Moscow - at a distance of only seven hundred kilometers. In February, ten American MNNXA1 "Abrams" arrived in Lithuania, then four tanks to Estonia. Fifteen tanks were brought to Latvia. “As we know,” said Alexander Zimovsky, an expert on NATO’s foreign armies, told Zvezda TV channel, “American tanks were deployed in Estonia, 2 kilometers from Moscow. Although in Sumy, in Ukraine, Ukrainian tanks are standing, they are even closer to Moscow. I'll tell you more: American tanks are now in 700 km from St. Petersburg, and in 150 km from Grodno and 30 km from Minsk. This is the real operational deployment of US / NATO troops in Europe ... "
What kind of adversary are American analysts thinking about the shells with depleted uranium and their superiority? On the population of which country do strategists at the Pentagon, who have previously “trained” in Yugoslavia and Iraq, reflect?

Preparatory work required
Acting permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, Peter Ilyichev, spoke at the Disarmament Commission in New York and voiced the conditions under which the Russian Federation would agree to a further reduction of nuclear arsenals. He said that Moscow strictly abides by the agreement on the limitation of strategic offensive arms START-3. However, further progress in creating a nuclear-free world "is impossible without serious preparatory work." And this work "should be built on the principle of strengthening strategic stability, equal and indivisible security for all states without exception." “We believe,” he noted, “that the priority at this stage should be serious joint work to create conditions that would really contribute to nuclear disarmament.”
An important factor in depreciating disarmament treaties, as Ilichyov believes, is the build-up by the United States of other strategic offensive weapons systems that are comparable in efficiency to nuclear ones. Americans have long been working on the concept of a global disarming strike, suggesting a massive attack of military objects of the enemy using high-precision weapons in non-nuclear equipment (mainly cruise missiles) from the ground, sea and air, said columnist Andrei Kots.
“If to summarize, I would single out three conditions, under which NATO countries could continue nuclear disarmament,” says well-known expert Igor Korotchenko. - First, the United States must remove its tactical nuclear weapons from Europe. Secondly, we need a treaty that seriously restricts the deployment of the US global missile defense system. Thirdly, other NATO countries that have nuclear missiles: France and Germany should join the disarmament process. Naturally, the Americans and their allies will not take these measures. And this means that we should develop our nuclear potential instead of thoughtlessly “cutting” it.

Russia does not hide it
Russia will continue to deploy missile forces units as part of the combat training plan of the armed forces, the Foreign Ministry said in response to the claims of the NATO leadership regarding the deployment of Iskander complexes in the Kaliningrad region. “We would like to again draw attention to the fact that the Russian side has never concealed that such military measures are being carried out. The subunits of the missile forces were repeatedly deployed and will be transferred as part of the combat training plan of the Armed Forces of Russia, including to the Kaliningrad region, ”the Vedomi newspaper quoted the Foreign Ministry’s report.
The ministry added that "the transfer of missile units is not contrary to any international agreements, is carried out exclusively on the territory of Russia." Also in the message it is noted that, speaking with similar claims, the leadership of the alliance "ignores the fact of the rapid expansion of NATO to the East", which began immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Earlier, a statement by the Deputy Secretary General of the Alliance Rose Gottemoeller appeared on the NATO website. The document states that the deployment of Iskander complexes in the Kaliningrad region threatens the security of the North Atlantic Alliance countries.
It is strange that this time the NATO members did not remind the world community that NATO is an alliance of an exclusively defensive character, which for almost seventy years has been caring for world peace.

"Ball" in the Kuriles
According to the BMPD blog, 29 March 2017, the Japanese newspaper Sankei Simbun published a selection of photographs from “informed sources” of new tento-mobile shelter built in the Russian garrison on the island of Kunashir (the Kuril Islands). The submission shows the construction process of other objects, including barracks and residential buildings. According to the blog, a battery or a division of an anti-ship mobile coastal missile system 3K60 "Ball" of the Russian Navy is located in the shelter.
Information on the deployment of 3K60 Bal (on Kunashir) and 3K55 Bastion-P (on Iturup) complexes from the 72nd separate coastal missile brigade of the Pacific Coastal forces in the southern Kuril Islands fleet were voiced in the Russian media in November 2016.
The Ball missile complex is autonomous and mobile enough for its size. The complex consists of two self-propelled command and control points and communications, up to four units of self-propelled launchers and, in some cases, transport and handling machines, which allow the complex, if necessary, to produce a second volley against the enemy.

There is nothing treacherous here, the exact coordinates of ALL the objects shown (and not shown too!) Objects have already been received by GLONASS and are found in the target data bases from whom it is necessary.
But now the Defense Ministry shows how the construction and quartering of equipment is being conducted and in what conditions the garrison will dwell. And as for the shelter, these are mobile complexes, and one can only hope that, if anything happens, the attack will not be unexpected for Russia (nowadays, when satellites can hang over the territory of several pieces, it is impossible to secretly prepare for war!), And complexes to the beginning of the mess will already be standing on the places determined by the deployment plan ...

Numbered faces
Representatives of the Polish elite, who continue to search for even conspiracy “facts” in the crash of the Polish side of the No. XXUMX near Smolensk, noted another dubious statement. A few days before the seventh anniversary of the famous Tu-1 catastrophe, the Polish prosecutor's office published a report stating that the crash occurred “including the fault of the Russian controllers of the Severny airfield. The statement says that the Smolensk traffic controllers "deliberately provoked a catastrophe."
The Deputy Prosecutor General of Poland said: “Evidence has already been collected and obtained during the investigation, which allowed the prosecutors to formulate new accusations against air traffic controllers, as well as a third party who was in the flight control tower, provoking a catastrophe that resulted in the death of a large number of people.”
How, then, will the prosecuting Poles ignore the well-known fact about the crew’s negotiations with the Russian dispatchers? After all, the dispatchers, who are now numbered among other "persons", recommended that the Polish board No. XXUMX leave for the alternate aerodrome due to bad weather conditions!
Polish prosecutor's thought, like the Polish officialdom in general, is impossible to understand without a bottle. There is no doubt that the evidence about participation in the case of the person from the "tower", the investigators "extracted" from the glass.
