      If you recall the incident at the Russian military base in Armenia, where a Russian Armed Forces soldier, a conscript, went AWOL, entered a house, and killed an entire family, including children. This happened before the then Russian president's state visit and the extension of the treaty with Armenia. It later turned out the soldier was originally from Siberia and left after a phone call with the family. Only it turned out the entire village was a Protestant sect of Pentecostal Baptists. https://dzen.ru/a/ZRz4Nba_jhQGBVsz

        Does it matter that Permyakov essentially said nothing? He was remarkably laconic during the trial: "I refuse to testify," "I plead guilty to everything," "I agree with any punishment."
        Permyakov was born and lived in the city of Baley.
        Baley is a city in the Zabaykalsky Krai of the Russian Federation. It is the administrative center of the Baleysky District. Yes, his father was a pastor at an evangelical church in Baley. He was not a Pentecostal.
        Why, of all the houses he passed along the way, did Permyakov choose the Avetisyan house? Yes, this house had a flimsy wooden door, which the owner was planning to replace with a new iron one. And according to some relatives, the owner had allegedly even ordered it. Question: Perhaps, of course, Avetisyan decided to replace the old wooden door with a new iron one completely by chance. Or perhaps it was not by chance? Perhaps the elder Avetisyan was worried about something, since he decided to fortify the house? Another point. The Avetisyan family occupied only half of the house; their relative, Karine, lived in the other half, with a separate entrance.
        Further quote:
        "As Karine, who was sleeping next door, told me, she heard a noise and woke up, but thought it was an earthquake. Karine went outside, looked around, everything was quiet, and the woman returned home, and in the morning, she calmly went to work."
        Early in the morning, 23 shots were heard outside the building. Karina thought it was an earthquake. https://am.sputniknews.ru/20160129/1791161.html
        https://russia-armenia.info/node/34791
        In my opinion, after an earthquake, any normal homeowner should walk around his house (even if he only owns half of the house) and make sure that the house is not in any danger.
        Most likely, that's what Karine did. But the question is: why didn't she stop by her relatives' house instead of quickly running off to work? What did Karine see?
        There was snow in Gyumri that night. Let's look at the weather report:
        As of 10:00 a.m. on January 8, roads in Armenia are closed and impassable, the press service of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Emergency Situations reported to Armenian News – NEWS.am. Specifically, the Selim Pass is closed due to a snowstorm. According to the ArmStateHydroMeteorological Center, snowfall is expected to continue throughout the day in most regions of the country.
        By the way, it's much safer for a runner to simply put a lump of snow in his mouth and keep running. But he went into the house. Why? Was he really just "getting a drink of water"? And returning to the relative who owned the other half of the house. If this relative had actually walked around the house to assess its condition after what she thought was an earthquake, she couldn't have failed to notice the prints of soldiers' boots in the snow. Yes, maybe she hadn't walked around the house. But why? After all, she thought there had been an earthquake. Didn't it really occur to her to stop by her relatives' half, at least to make sure everything was okay? What a strange relationship, if she hadn't stopped by.
        Well, what if the relative did go around the house? Maybe she saw something she shouldn't have? And quickly ran off to work.
        At six in the morning, Permyakov left the murdered family's home. But he wasn't detained until midnight while attempting to cross the Armenian-Turkish border. How could a soldier, whose wanted posters had been posted to every outpost, have safely left the city? Where had he been hiding all this time? Deputy Commander of the Russian border detachment, Sergei Merzlikin, recalled his conversation with the accused immediately after his arrest at the border. Among the standard questions about where he'd been hiding all this time and where he'd hidden his weapons, the border guard, for some reason, decided to ask Permyakov if he'd eaten. "The taxi driver brought me three shawarmas and three Pepsi-Colas," the soldier allegedly said.
        Who is this mysterious taxi driver?

    To prevent Ukrainian media from spreading rumors, press conferences with Ministry of Internal Affairs representatives must be held promptly. Otherwise, sometimes nothing is clear at all, and people believe anything because the government remains silent.

            The task of the media in the modern world is to irritate curious citizens and drive them crazy for the political and financial manipulation of the authorities and businessmen "by the masses".

            The tone of voices, the pace of speech, the disturbing musical intros in blogs and on TV channels, everything is designed to deprive the viewer, reader, listener of MENTAL BALANCE, to force them to become nervous, angry, and lose their grasp of the reality of what is happening.
