A blogger posted a video address about a policeman who stopped regular cars on the Moscow belt-road to create a “live barrier” and stop an alleged criminal's car. In less than a day after the blog post, the policeman responsible for this unlawful action got a sever warning, expert.ru reported.

Here’s an interesting – and tragic – story that’s been getting some coverage in the UK, but not a lot elsewhere. From the BBC:

Three people who plunged to their deaths from a multi-storey flat in Glasgow were a Russian family seeking asylum in the UK, the BBC understands.

The father, mother and son had been granted asylum in Canada but left after a dispute with the authorities there.

Their application to remain in the UK had recently been refused but they had not been issued with a removal order.

There’s a little piece in RIA Novosti, and some speculation from some of the Scottish press that the father had claimed he was a spy:

The desperate mother, father and 21-year-old son tied themselves together before their 15-storey plunge on Sunday morning.

It’s understood the father, believed to be a Mr Serykh, may have had mental health problems and had claimed to be a Russian spy.

A source said last night: “This family were in no danger and were not about to be deported. The father was delusional and it seems he pulled his wife and son into his paranoia.”

[...]“The father became ill and he was convinced the Canadian PM and Vladimir Putin were exchanging intelligence and that the Canadians were after him.”

The last sentence perhaps explains why the family were not seeking asylum from Russia, as was initially thought, but from Canada.

Personal circumstances of an “overwhelming force” was how leader of the Kaliningrad oppositioneers Konstantin Doroshok recently explained his exit from the «Solidarity» movement. Certain political scientists decoded this exit in their own way: they’re saying the regional protest movements don’t have a political tinge, but are associated merely with corporative interests of a regional character.

However, Doroshok’s comrade in arms, deputy of the Kaliningrad Oblast Duma Solomon Ginzburg, considers that pressure from the side of the FSB had had an influence on Konstantin’s decision.

If this is so, then it turns out that here in our country the FSB is connected not only by its business interests, but also engages in political investigation.

Up to and including planting its provocateurs into the ranks of the oppositioneers.

It is no secret to anyone that many deputies of the State Duma of the
RF - are FSB employees. (It’s not important how the call themselves in
so doing: «seconded» or «former»).
The fact that many (if not most) of the deputies’ staff members are employees of the FSB - is a less loudly advertised fact.

If people have already, it seems, gotten accustomed to the infiltration
of chekists into the organs of administration and business structures,
then for now few have paid attention to the mass introduction of
descendants of the NKVD into the ranks of the country’s judges.
This infiltration is going to make itself strongly felt later.

Future non-chekist governments are going to be faced with the task of
rooting out these «neo-nobles» from every nook and cranny into which
they have managed to crawl with the speed of mold.

The country will begin to shake and sweat as if breaking a fever.

It may even finally adopt a law on lustration.

Mold - and not at all most kinds - is good in gorgonzola.

In bread and meat it is - poison.

Mold destroys concrete and brick. Some of its forms are so toxic that they can affect the breathing passages.

To the point of suffocation.

…It’s been hard to breathe in the country for a long time already.

Haven’t you noticed?

Listvianka,

Hmm..never heard of that one and I live here (Aus). Nikir, has this one crossed the papers where you are?

Any links for this newsworthy morsel Listvianka??

The only liver transplant who’s made the news I’ve heard about is the girl who got one and now needs another due to her chronic drug abuse, and the family wonders why more than a fair few people are outraged (I suspect media hype…) at footing part of the 250,000.00 bill.
