Results of the week. “Survived. We can say it was found in the dustbin, washed, cleared of cleanings - and he draws figs to us! ”
Media holding VGTRK and RVIO (Russian militaryhistorical society) launched the project “Name of Victory”. In this project, it is proposed to vote for one or another military leader out of a hundred personalities represented. Each visitor of the resource on which the voting is held can indicate the ten of those military leaders who, in his opinion, personify the image of victory. The contest organizers report that before submitting a hundred personalities applying for the name “Victory Name”, experts in the field of military history, as well as ordinary history buffs, put forward their proposals for several months. Based on these proposals, the final hundred were formed, which included historical figures and our contemporaries: from the governor and prototypes of epic heroes to officers of the imperial army, red marshals and generals today. The voting results will be announced on May 9, 2014.
We have already managed to discuss some oddities of the competition, in which, for example, such a person as Dobrynia Nikitich was nominated, but Ilya Muromets was not nominated; why as candidates for the title “Name of Victory” is Ivan the Terrible, but there is no Peter the Great. Well, about the absence of Joseph Stalin in the competition in the presence of Lev Trotsky or Sergei Kamenev, a lot of copies were broken ...
To date, a little more than 120 thousand people have voted in the competition, about 7,5% of whom voted for Alexander Suvorov. The three leaders so far are as follows: Suvorov, Kutuzov, Zhukov.

Private and his friend came under investigation for stealing parts of the C-300PS anti-aircraft missile system in the Primorsky Territory, the main military investigative department of the RF IC said on Thursday.
"According to the investigation, in the period from July 14 to 26 August 2013, Zorev (Alexander), by prior agreement with Kapustin (Private Konstantin Kapustin), who carried out the patrol and security of the C-300PS anti-aircraft missile system, stole from the cab of the hardware container F- 2K 700 radio products containing precious metals, worth over 700 thousand rubles, "- said in a statement.
The suspects fully admitted their guilt. And this once again suggests the correctness of a familiar officer. The officer likes to say (strong words in the text, for obvious reasons, changed to the printed version): Comrades, the soldiers, stepping into the guard, remember that most of all (hereinafter - the modified word) the opportunity to "steal" from the protected object is not one of then the changed word of the “person” who is being protected from, and that person (hereinafter the changed word) of the “person” who protects himself ...
By the way, the investigation does not yet cover whether the very details that Private Kapustin conveyed to his “friend” Alexander Zorev were returned to the 40083 military unit. Otherwise, if they were not returned, then it is not even an hour, somewhere in the seaside hangar for the reception of nonferrous metals, ferrous metals and scrap of precious metals, someone “bit by bit and nuts” will assemble his own air defense system ...

Selling conscience for ipad
One girl in Volgograd, 22-year-old Anna, came to the Halloween party in a suit of a suicide bomber: a hijab and a belt (instead of trotyl - cans of energy). Photo of a girl in a hijab blew up social networks.
It was in the Volgograd club "Velvet", which invited visitors to the party with the condition to dress up in the "most terrible costume." The winner of this competition was promised a prize from the institution - iPad mini.
The visitor, who apparently suffered from great originality, was literally attacked by people with the aim of escorting out of the club. It wasn’t possible to show off right away - the photo of the girl even initially participated in the club vote for the title of “the most terrible costume”, but then was removed by the administrators who looked fake.
A friend of Anna herself in an interview with the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda says:
But this is another representative of the Next generation, for whom this behavior is quite a normal thing ... The girlfriend said, “she thought when you wrote.” That is, the thought process of this girl is clearly specific in nature ... But it is one thing when a single person behaves this way, and another thing when they are offered to behave like this by advertising appropriate images. After all, this, forgive, individual responded to the call of the club to dress as horrible as possible and understood it in her own way. Although the better was walking around other members of the Next generation in masks with bloodied teeth, gouged eyes and death costumes? And this is not only in Volgograd, it is already all over the country. Halloween, you know, jolly ... That's truly: no shame, no conscience, one loot and aypad ...

Dancing, citizens! Us a letter from figurants
When the attacking side does not seek to develop its success, the enemy can heal wounds, consider further steps and go to the counter to achieve victory in the battle. Today, we all seem to witness a situation in which the accusatory "regiments" in the Oboronservis case gradually lose the initiative, on the basis of which the attacked (persons involved in a large corruption case) intercept and initiate a counter-attack.
Sat-sitting in her 13-room “dungeon” in Molochny Lane, Yevgenia Vasilyeva, waited, waited, when these, excuse me, snot with accusations and court decisions would reach the final stage, and, seeing that the law enforcement authorities did not finish the soap opera decide, thought about the response. As one commentator's saying goes: “You don’t score - they kill you!” Following this saying, Evgenia Vasilyeva and her lawyer decided to strike back at the accusers, and through the media, in order to achieve maximum effect. In addition, the blow was also double - in the form of two open letters, one of which was published on the Internet site of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, and the second (already from the words of a lawyer) was suggested through the RAPSI news agency.
In the first lines of her letter ... After this epistles, it became clear that the “unsinkable armada” of the defendants was not just unsinkable, she also responds with fire from all the guns, which leads to the appearance of holes and in the world is not the most unshakable in the world embezzlers. It turned out that Mrs. Vasilyeva’s apartment, “a picture, a piece of cardboard and a little dog,” was acquired “before”, that no one will succeed in defaming Serdyukov’s “honor and dignity”, and that everything is around (well, except for the defendants and their lawyers) - dirty insinuators, adherents of provocations and connoisseurs of whites and fluffy employees of the Department of Property Relations, Oboronservis and other offices who served the Fatherland, not working around their hands, topped with diamond rings ...

It became known that a new prime minister will appear in Georgia after 17 in November of this year. It is on this day that the inauguration of the president is scheduled. That is, on the same day, the political elite of the Georgian state will change completely and will constitute a single team from one political party.
At the moment, the main contender for the post of Prime Minister of Georgia is Irakli Garibashvili - the current Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia.
If his candidacy is supported by the Georgian parliament, then Garibashvili will become the youngest prime minister on the planet. He was born 28 June 1982, that is, Garibashvili 31 year. Recently, such a young man became at the helm of the state only in the DPRK (at the time of the transfer of power to Kim Jong Un, he was about 30 years old).
The young leader is definitely great. New blood, new thoughts, new solutions. But ... Recently, "young leaders" in the world sometimes present such political surprises, which draws once again to cross themselves ... And then there's a graduate of a Western university (Sorbonne Magistracy). Do they teach friendship and respect in the Etih Sorbonne, or are they taught only how to tolerate their neighbor in the corner under the slogans of an all-conquering democracy? Garibashvili will answer this question with a personal example. In general, dear Heraclius, as they say, good luck, but just let us there without tricks in the style of a well-known Georgian citizen.

Undecided with the revolution
For over 70 years, the anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution was the main holiday of the Soviet Union. 7 November throughout the Soviet era was the “red day of the calendar,” that is, a public holiday celebrated with mandatory holiday events held in every Soviet city. It was so until the 1991 year, when the USSR was collapsed, and the communist ideology was almost criminalized. In the Russian Federation, this day was first renamed the Day of Accord and Reconciliation, hinting at the need to end the civil war in the information field of the country and reconciliation of supporters of different ideological views, and then canceled completely. November 7 ceased to be a holiday, but was included in the list of memorable dates. The law was passed in 2010 year. In 2005, in connection with the establishment of a new national holiday (National Unity Day), 7 November ceased to be a day off.
It would seem that the date is not a jubilee, the date is sad for many, for what then was the topic dedicated to this date displayed in the "Results of the week". The reason is that the topic has received a record number of comments on the background of all the other topics of the week. What does this mean? It says that after 96 years after the revolution, we have not decided on the attitude to those events, we want to comment on this issue - almost to a massacre, to mutual spittle in the faces of the interlocutors ...
There are a huge number of assessments, they come from different sides, from different social groups, through the media and legal institutions, but there is no one, let's say, average statistical estimate that could be presented as the basis for the formation of the announced single history textbook. After all, in some textbooks the October revolution of 1917 was described as the beginning of bloody terror and the destruction of age-old values, and in others as a starting point for turning the country into a developed superpower with social guidelines, then the younger generation has fair claims: hey, fathers, you figure it out yourself, and then teach us! And here the claims of the younger generation do not look unfounded ...

On this day, in 1917, we were given a chance to break away from our trough, free our hands from chains and try to build a great bright happiness for everyone, but our personal trough did not let us go, now we champ each other, and each one has a different one, and now we are not up to great accomplishments, construction projects, victories. And so sad for the dead people for the universal happiness, for the conquest of the people we lost. Equality, fraternity, the right to work, dignified old age, free medicine and education, all this is a thing of the past. Now we are only outraged by the corruption and theft of some, and the total inaction of us and others about this, and the dream of a truck with gingerbread on our street. WITH HOLIDAY YOU COMRADE!

Myths and legends of the peoples of the world: how Colombians chased after Tu-160
During the week, quite unexpectedly, the Russian Federation reminded of its existence such a state as Colombia. The President of this South American country, Juan Manuel Santos, speaking in the city of Pasto, said that last week there had been a violation of the Colombian airspace by the Russian Tu-160 aircraft. At the same time, in order to accompany the “violators”, the Colombians had to urgently raise Kfir fighters into the sky, which, reportedly, were awaiting orders to attack Russian air-launched missile carriers.
For such “boorish” behavior of Russian pilots, Juan Manuel Santos was determined to send a protest note to the Russian Federation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The incident with the “violation” of the airspace of Colombia by a pair of Russian “White Swans”, according to the same Santos, was also not an isolated one. It turns out that there was a double violation: originally it allegedly happened at a time when strategists flew from Venezuela to the Republic of Nicaragua, and the second time Tu-160 flew over Colombian territory while returning from Managua Airport (Nicaragua) to Maiquetia Airport (Caracas, Venezuela).
We have already managed to get used to the Japanese and Estonian claims about the “violations of the air spaces”. Now Colombia is added to this “glorious cohort” of prosecutors with its belatedly reactive president: the incident, as Santos says, occurred on November 1, the President of Colombia announced the need to send a protest note at the beginning of this week, and the immediate direction of this note took place almost later a week after the "incident".
Interestingly, the Colombian authorities shared the information and note sent to Russia through the official Twitter of their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The message on this resource is as follows:
Now the picture rises before my eyes, as if barely holding the urge to laugh, the comrades endorse the “censures” of the Tu-160 pilots, saying: this is how you are, men, managed to break the unshakable aerial boundaries of sovereign Colombia ...

Fundamentalist gangsters
3 in November in the popular American newspaper "Washington Times" published a remarkable article by E. Lozansky on the acute geopolitical issues related to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, the regional opposition of Sunni and Shiites, as well as problems of the US Middle East policy. The current path of Saudi Arabia is considered by the scientist to be a dead end, and it is Moscow, not Washington, that is announcing the driving force of Middle Eastern diplomacy.
In the room The Washington Times The scientist reminded the reading public about the July visit to Moscow of the Saudi emissary - the head of intelligence, Prince Bandar bin Sultan. According to media reports, this man offered Vladimir Putin some benefits - in exchange for the Kremlin’s refusal to support the Assad government in Syria. In addition, Moscow must accept the fact that Islamic fundamentalists, who are lured by the Saudi monarchy, Assad overthrown.
The prince Bandar made an unprecedented diplomatic move in history, the scientist notes: he put forward a proposal to grant Russian companies privileged access to Saudi oil resources and on additional cooperation of Saudi Arabia with Russia in the field of energy policy.
The culmination of the conversation was the "ominous" episode. Such a proposal was more suitable not for diplomacy, but “for a gangster film.” If Russia takes into account Saudi interests in Syria, the prince said, then Riyadh guarantees the security of the Sochi Olympics. Terrorist radicals will not attack Sochi.
Said Lozansky and the alleged divorce of the United States and Saudi Arabia. There are signs, he writes, that a marriage of convenience between the United States and Saudi Arabia is not so convenient now, as before, at least for Riyadh. According to the expert, Obama disappointed the Saudis even more than the American public. Obama does not have an ineffective ability to conduct diplomacy, nor a noticeable strategic plan, nor principles. He had promised to strike Syria with Tomahawks, to the joy of the Saudi princes, but Congress suddenly poured cold water on his hot plans. Then followed the diplomatic initiative of the Kremlin, which put forward a proposal that Syria would eliminate the chemical arsenals weapons under international control. The Syrian government accepted the proposal, and it was immediately approved by the UN. Supporters of the anti-Syrian campaign and their Saudi allies could only “sulk” ...
The Saudis would like to arrange a Sunni fundamentalist caliphate in Syria, simply because the current secular and pluralistic government in Damascus is supported by Shiites in Tehran.
As for Russia, she, as the author of the material notes, “wisely enough” fears to conclude a “Faustian deal” with the kingdom. Russia has its own tragic experience in the fight against Wahhabism. Moreover, the Wahhabi movement, by all accounts, is partially funded by wealthy Saudis who have long supported jihadism throughout the world.
What conclusion does the expert make?
Saudi Arabia is at an impasse that is good for a peaceful outlook in Syria, for international talks on Iran’s nuclear program and for the Middle East as a whole.
In addition, in terms of raw materials, the United States is becoming less dependent on the Middle East and is probably less inclined to interfere in regional affairs.
Another result: Moscow is now the driving force in Middle Eastern diplomacy. Considering the entire “track record” of the United States and its allies from Saudi Arabia over the past decades, the author seems to conclude, the time has come for Russian diplomacy.

Qatari billions
Turkish parliamentarian calls on Prime Minister Erdogan’s government to change Syria’s policy, reports Mixednews.ru with reference to Global Research.
As Turkish lawmaker Rafik al-Ilmaz said, most of the proponents of military aggression against Syria have already accepted the need for a political settlement of the Syrian crisis. The legislator told the Turkish media that he "saw documents confirming that the Erdogan government and the Turkish espionage agency were cooperating with terrorist groups in Syria."
But after all, most supporters of the war with Syria turned to peaceful solutions to the crisis. Ilmaz said that "the government of Qatar has agreed to pay twenty billion dollars for the restoration of the Syrian state, so they seek to delve into the Syrian problem, and this issue was also raised at a meeting in Iran."
Ilmaz believes that, following the United States, the Arab countries have revised their policies regarding Syria. The legislator added: "The Ankara government has received many warnings about the need to revise the policy towards Syria, since Turkey is left alone with the Syrian problem."

Plot with a bomb
Today, Riyadh is dissatisfied with Washington's policy in the Middle East. There was information that Saudi Arabia would soon become a nuclear power. This tells Ksenia Melnikova ("Voice of Russia").
Riyadh understands that if Tehran and Washington settle all mutual claims, this will mean the legitimization of Iran, the lifting of sanctions and the acquisition of regional leadership.
In the American and British media has already appeared information that Saudi Arabia has entered into a secret agreement with Pakistan. What is it? About the supply of nuclear weapons!
The situation in the region is changing rapidly, said Said Gafurov, scientific director of the Institute of Applied Oriental Studies and African Studies:
Analysts fear something else. Riyadh can launch a preventive operation against Iran, and Israel can be an ally. In the media there were reports of Israeli military aircraft, seen at the bases of the Kingdom.
So, we add from myself. While the West is trying to protect the world from the Iranian ephemeral bomb, Saudi Arabia is entering the arena, which can buy as many bombs as it wishes. And in the nervous hands of the Saudi Wahhabis, this weapon will seem to Washington to be much more terrible than the bomb from Iran. As for Israel, Netanyahu seems to have completely lost his political sentiment: friendship with the Saudis is fraught with its unpredictability. Americans have already received their from Al-Qaida. Maybe Tel Aviv should refer to the lessons of history?

Import oppressed
The authorities of the Netherlands have declared that their country is ready to host all the Russian gays and lesbians: after all, in the homeland of the poor, they suffer great torments. Those who come are promised political refugee status, writes Lyubov Lyulko (Pravda.ru).
Franz Timmermans, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, said that the country's government, taking into account the plight of gays and lesbians in Russia, is ready to provide them with political asylum. Timmermans also sent a letter to parliament, in which he again condemned Russian law prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality among minors.
The Netherlands, we add, apparently, a little of their blue, as well as drug addicts, bestiality and pedophiles. The state decided to import more Russian ones. Until that degree of freedom, which exists in Amsterdam, is very far away, even London and Washington.
However, now these Dutch regulations can spread throughout the European Union.
The European Court ruled that homosexuality is one of the reasons for obtaining asylum in the EU. This was reported in a press release published on the website of the international body, reports "Lenta.ru".
However, to obtain refugee status, gays and lesbians will have to prove that they are in danger of being jailed for sexual orientation at home.
The ruling was made by the European Court of Justice in connection with the affairs of the three refugees from Sierra Leone, Uganda and Senegal, the Associated Press reported. They sought political asylum in the Netherlands precisely because of homosexuality. Their countries have laws prohibiting same-sex relationships. As a result, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands appealed to the European Court for an explanation as to whether homosexuality constituted a basis for asylum.
And the answer was received: yes, it is.
The court, however, did not explain how to check whether asylum-seekers were gay.

He knows too much
Recently, signs of Muscovite Snowden appeared on the Internet: a cap, a beard, a mustache. There are also rumors about a red T-shirt and white sneakers. Snowden no longer wears glasses: he replaced them with lenses. The wealth of the wardrobe of the former American, as well as the ability to often change appearance, are subject to understandable doubts. While still a resident of Sheremetyevo, Edward dressed himself with the help of his lawyer Kucherena. The fugitive whistleblower has repeatedly hit the lenses not only of cameras, but also of video cameras. It is difficult to say whether the inconspicuous American people in black raincoats, black glasses and black hats hunt on the Moskva River embankment or on Vernadsky Prospect, but the Fox News host has suggested that Edward should return to the United States : otherwise they will kill him ... Russians.
A knowledgeable person lives in the USA - retired Lieutenant Colonel Oliver Lawrence North. This seventy-year-old Mr. Ms. is a former US Marine officer who served in the Armed Forces in 1968-1990, participated in the activities of the US National Security Council and was known not only for participation in the Vietnam War, but also for the Iran-Contra case, for which in 1987, he was fired from the National Security Council. However, he was later found not guilty. Today this competent Mr leads his program on Fox News - “Military Stories with Oliver North” - and writes books.
Lori Rothman with Fox News interviewed him the other day. It was just about the activities of US intelligence. Of course, Snowden was also mentioned. Retired lieutenant colonel predicted fugitive's dark future:
And in the end, Laurie, it will be like this: the Russians will kill Edward Snowden, and they will blame us for this. They will kill him because they do not want us to know how much information he gave them. This is a very, very serious problem. What is really needed now is for Mr. Kerry to go to Moscow and try to persuade his father Edward Snowden to convince his son to return home and get what he deserves — after all, the Russians will kill him. He is a living corpse. ”
But after all, we add from ourselves, earlier Edward himself stated: he is afraid that America will not leave him alone. No one but Russia wanted to give Snowden a temporary shelter. In addition, the opinion of the American lieutenant colonel, expressed on the air of Fox News, is an ordinary logical twist, addressed to simpletons and amateurs. news "Serials" about the cold war. To languish all my life in an American jail under the tutelage of some torture craftsmen and skilled doctors who signed a multi-page agreement "Rejection of Ethics" for the benefit of the CIA and the Pentagon - is that better than quietly dying from an umbrella prick on the embankment of the Moskva River?
For Snowden, the posthumous mark in history is also important: for people who have been thinking over their actions against the system for years, such questions are always important. Having returned home and appeared before the court, he thereby admits his mistakes - and history will not forgive him for that. But wandering around foreign lands will be counted for him.
As for the cap and the red T-shirt, then hopefully Edward has already bought something warmer. Moscow is not Hawaii, you can freeze here ...

Shattering States of America
Eleven Colorado constituencies decided to vote on separation from the state. These extreme measures have led to the deepening split between urban and agricultural areas. Correspondent "RT" Marina Portnay visited Colorado.
In 2013, the Colorado legislature, where the Democrats are the majority, passed a series of laws that caused intense discontent among residents of the northeastern agricultural state. This includes an unprecedented law on the control of the circulation of weapons and new rules by which agricultural areas must produce 20% of electricity from renewable sources. Officials say it will hit farmers and livestock owners a lot, as well as an increase in the cost of electricity. ”
To divide the state in half, Congress permission is required.
The congress, we would add, would hardly have allowed the state to break apart if President Obama was not in the United States. As part of the confrontation between the Republican congressmen and the executive power, the first may get another reason to boycott the medical insurance program, called Obamacare, and other initiatives of the second. The next crisis of the branches of government in the United States is expected in January-February next year.
And further. It seems that Barack Obama’s “forecast” is coming true: speaking in the election campaign of 2008, he told the American people that in the US there are 57 states. In 2008, the highly educated Obama was laughed at, but in 2016, he could pass the country to Hillary Clinton in a rather fragmented state.
