Alexander Lukashenko/Sergey Shnurov
As always, at the end of the week, review its results and tell you what social and political news shocked the world, what the buzz on the net that got the greatest response and what not to say. All the most important and interesting in our traditional political digest.
1. the Visit of Sergey Shnurova to Khabarovsk
Khabarovsk is in dire Straits. After July 9, and charged with the murder of 15-year-old was arrested by the Governor of Khabarovsk territory Sergey Furgal, the locals defied the authorities and started to come out in mass protests in support of the head region.
Appointed by President Vladimir Putin, acting in Khabarovsk Krai Furgala fellow party member Mikhail Degtyarev local residents, to put it mildly, did not like. Yes and he seems to be not too trying: the contact is not, and yet is not too much joking.
what is Happening in Khabarovsk and other cities of the region strongly excites many Russians, can not be said about the Kremlin, which is an obvious problem he prefers to avoid. So, this week in the far East decided to go personally 47-year-old musician and social activist Sergei Shnurov.
Who’s the boss? Tea is not
anyone from the top down.
For choosing your Khabarovsk
Are on the streets. Thicker
Getting people’s March.
Who here is fool?
Really it all hirelings?
In Moscow, their voice is heard already!
Column was all the more powerful.
They do not ask and do not pray,
They want to come
To all the ears of the people will.
And there is no problem to borrow
No they don’t slide roof.
“We are not stupid, not stupid we are!”.
And those who don’t want to hear
— marked before the arrival in town of a poem in his usual satirical manner himself Sergey Shnurov.
In the Khabarovsk singer did not come just to look at what is happening, and with a specific purpose: Shnurov, who recently became the General producer of TV channel RTVI, were filming a documentary about the protests in the city. The musician, who was suspected in PR, and some have decided that the arrival to Khabarovsk paid him, said that he was not invited, and the far East, he arrived on his own initiative.
during his visit, Cord met Degtyarev and took his interview. After a conversation with a politician a musician called him a “brave man.”
Degtyarev in a very difficult situation right now. But I thought he was such a… human persistent — that’s what I can tell. I think that, of course, he has a lot of the mistakes he owlrsil on arrival. How he will continue to behave, it depends on him,
he said in an interview with radio “Echo of Moscow”.
Well, yesterday on YouTube that the interview appeared.
it Degtyarev noted that humorously refers to a situation in which hit.
Khabarovsk doves — the fattest and happiest pigeon in the whole of Russia,
I went, I go and walk to the bath with men
— remember Cords jokes Degtyarev.

Mikhail Degtyarev also said that the detention of Sergey Furgala he was “shocked” and “cut to the heart”, but according to the code of criminal procedure to comment on anything that he can’t. And though Sergey Shnurov tried to ask seemingly uncomfortable questions, for example, have tried to find Degtyareva, why he goes along with the protesters on the square, netizens this interview was criticized, calling it staged. In the end, Cords with his companion and moved to “you.”
People hold for idiots and quite frankly mocked. What kind of stage show interview? br>
Cords, the end of your career, for 10 pieces of silver sold. br>
the Cord like you would stoop so low! You were in his place, you were the idol of millions, now you’re just a clown! Dislike you, Sergei,
— wonder users on the network.
In the Khabarovsk Cords also walked with protesters through the streets and talked to them about what is happening. He noted that he was surprised the contingent of protesters.
This is not the usual, in view especially of the Federal channels, marginal persons and youth, but it is a labor reserve of Russia
he said.
When the film Sergey Shnurov will be aired on RTVI, is still unknown. But the musician has promised that, unlike Federal channels, will show the truth. However, after a published online interview with a Degtyaryov public interest in the upcoming picture is noticeably faded.
2. the Case of Michael Ephraim
In early summer, the community was shocked with the news of a terrible accident with a fatal outcome, the culprit of which was a 56-year-old famous Russian AK��EP Mikhail Efremov. Recall that he is in his Jeep Grand Cherokee went into the opposite lane on the Garden ring in Moscow and collided with the van, the driver was 57-year-old Sergey Zakharov. Injured Zakharov was taken to the hospital and died several hours later. In the blood of Michael Efremova were found to have a large dose of alcohol and traces of drugs.
guilt Yefremov acknowledged and recorded a video message in which he asked forgiveness from the relatives of the deceased and promised to provide them with all necessary material assistance. But then began the unimaginable. 48-year-old lawyer Ephraim Elman Pashayev has chosen a rather strange tactic. First, he said that his client is not guilty, and then began to write some legends that the actor in that ill-fated day allegedly at the request of his friend went to the hospital to his wife and mother, trapped there due to the coronavirus. And he drank, because that day was the Trinity.
Why Efremov was chosen as his lawyer Pashayeva, a mystery. But said that many lawyers, which also addressed Efremov, refused to take up his case.
the Reputation of Elman Pashayev leaves much to be desired: he was repeatedly deprived of the lawyer status for violating the code of legal ethics, so that an expert can not say. In 2018 he was arrested on suspicion of extortion and received a year of probation. Don’t understand the choice of actor and his colleagues. So, the actress Julia Aug Pashayeva called “reshaloy without honor and dignity.”
the Fact that I was denied three times status of the lawyer is true. Maybe the fourth time can. Status are deprived, usually due to inadequate legal aid. I’m 20 years unlike many, as a surgeon, attend the daily investigative activities. Efremov found me not on a call and not from the sky. It is seen that serious people have asked that I defended him from day one
he said.
Elman Pashayev
To Ephraim Pashayev worked with other stars, he defended the interests of Andrei Panin and Katya LEL and won their case.
Yesterday in Presnensky court held a preliminary hearing on the case of Mikhail Yefremov, during which he extended the house arrest until 22 January next year. To trial lawyer Ephraim drove a German luxury car Maybach and behaved pretty confident, saying that he was “always ready to win.”
the defense today would cry bitter tears! Why? Yes, because I came,
— immodestly he said.
in fact, appear in court, he had the day before, but did not attend the meeting, and it was moved.
Pashayev confident that the court will acquit his client, so ��AK he has proof of his innocence. While he, however, noted only rhetoric, but the fact that he has an ACE in the hole, there is no doubt. He said yesterday that his client pleaded not guilty.
Opponent Pashayeva in court star is a well-known lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky. According to him, he, too, received offers of protection, but he refused them and decided to represent the other side.
I answered “no” to the person who called and asked me if I can represent the interests of Ephraim, because I know how to make Mikhail Efremov went from punishment. And, knowing this, and imagining all the logistics of the events that may unfold during the investigation and the process, I accepted the offer from the family to represent their interests,
— said 65-year-old Dobrovinsky in an interview with radio “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
Alexander Dobrovinsky
the Pasha, and Dobrovinsky — the person public, and often appear on television. And since this case has received such wide publicity, they now welcome guests of many talk shows.
I Must say, what about the case of Michael Efremova has appeared not less conspiracy theories than the coronavirus, starting with the fact that driving was not for him, and ending with the fact that he deliberately drugged and framed.
Mikhail Efremov threatens from five till 12 years of imprisonment.
3. Detention in Belarus 33 Russian citizens, who are considered the mercenaries.
Wednesday, July 29, near Minsk it was detained 33 Russians, who presumably are private military company and Wagner were going to stage a terrorist attack. With him they were only hand Luggage and three suitcases at all, while they were dressed in military clothes.
for the First time on PMCs has become known in 2015. First they wrote the St. Petersburg edition “Fontanka.ru” reported that the company sent mercenaries to the war in Syria in 2013, i.e. until the moment when Russia officially joined in a military conflict with a middle Eastern country. Noted fighters of Wagner and Ukraine — reported to the security service, they participated in the conflict in the Donbass in 2014. They are also suspected of involvement in the death of the Russian journalist Orhan Jemal, Alexander Rastorguev and Kirill Radchenko killed in the Central African Republic two years ago. In Africa they made a film about PMC Wagner.
Its name��e company received from the call sign of the unit commander Dmitry Utkin, who is fond of creativity famous German composer Richard Wagner. Who gives a PMC team of more than, is not known, but experts are inclined to believe that it is funded by the Russian government.
so, what vagnerova might need in Belarus? According to Belarusian authorities, the Russian government sent him to the country of mercenaries to destabilize the already troubled situation in the country. On 9 August in Belarus scheduled the presidential election, and around them are now a lot of noise.
the fact that participation in voting did not allow the opposition Sergei Tikhanovski and Victor Babariko, which are now both under arrest. Competition Alexander Lukashenko, the opposition will be Tikhanovski wife Svetlana, in support of that yesterday on the streets of Minsk reached tens of thousands of people. The shares from the incumbent President of Belarus has demanded the release of political prisoners and free and fair elections (painfully familiar and competent in the hearts of many Russians, the history).
Svetlana Tikhanovski (center)
After the arrest of Russians Alexander Lukashenko convened an urgent meeting of the security Council and called on the Russian authorities to answer:
I’m looking at the reaction of the Russians. They are already apologizing, saying that we were brought here. Clearly, it is necessary to justify their dirty intentions. So I would ask that in this situation, and this fact was all very frankly and honestly. If Russian citizens (and I understand they questioned), then it is necessary to address immediately to the relevant authorities of the Russian Federation, they explained what happens
he said.
Alexander Lukashenko
the Kremlin on the detention of Russian citizens in Minsk did not answer immediately and at first remained silent, but later the press-Secretary of President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov has made a statement.
there was the insinuation that this is some kind of organization to send someone there. This is nothing but innuendo! Russia is allies and closest partners, anything like that can not be and speeches,
— said Peskov.
however, he noted that he did not know what PMC Wagner.
what is A PMC Wagner? In Russia, de jure such thing as a PMC, no. There are private security companies, private security firms, but no such thing as the PMC, the Russian legislation does not,
— said the press Secretary of the President.
Dmitry
Russian Ambassador in Belarus Dmitry Mezentsev said that the detainees may be employees of a private security company, and in Minsk they were because summer��and in fact, in the Istanbul transit through Belarus. But, alas, my flight was late and therefore were forced to stay in the sanatorium “Belorusochka” (how lovely!). In General, such a legend would envy even Petrov and Bashirov with their story of an incredible desire to see the sights of Salisbury.
the Russians, who arrived in the sanatorium “Belorusochka” of Minsk, was forced to do due to the fact that I was late for a flight from national airport of the capital of the Republic, heading the transit to a third country. They had intended to fly from Minsk on 25 July and is not believed to be in the Republic how whatever for a long time, and much later planned to return to the Russian capital from another state by plane, bypassing the territory of Belarus,
he said.
He also said that the accusations in the Russian interference in the Affairs of Belarus, are groundless.
In General, as one would expect, the bike was not ours and we are here, as always, nothing to do with it.
