Good evening my dear readers. I hasten to tell you about the most topical and controversial events of the past day. Shall we start?

First place. Today, the Basmanny Court of Moscow chose a preventive measure for theatrical figure Kirill Serebrennikov, accused of fraud in the amount of 68 million rubles. I will not say that this event is a landmark for the public and political life Russia. However, a rather large support group has gathered at the courthouse, which regards the arrest of Serebrennikov as nothing more than an attack by the authorities on modern culture generally. The culture is freedom-loving and not always controlled. As a result, Serebrennikov received house arrest and was taken to the place of registration, where he was put on an electronic bracelet that restricted his freedom of movement. Amazing things are happening. Some people are demonstrating near the court building, and Kirkorov and Malakhov, who is Andrey, and a number of cultural and art figures have declared their readiness to vouch for Serebrennikov. Responsible for what? That Serebrennikov will no longer steal? How can you vouch for a person in what he himself is not sure of? Nonsense. By the way, do you know that Putin personally made the decision to arrest Serebrennikov? Yes, this is exactly what some figures who live mainly outside the Russian Federation said.

As in Russia, everything is complicated. An official, an entrepreneur or a simple citizen caught cheating - this is normal, even at some points it is useful for the improvement of society. They caught the artistic director of one of the hundreds of creative groups working on the territory of Moscow in a bad way - Putin launched a repressive mechanism aimed at suppressing freedom-loving cultural and art figures. This is how it's not easy. I doubt that Putin has even heard of such a "cultural figure" as Kirill Serebrennikov. And everyone somehow forgot that quite recently Serebrennikov testified against his own employees, suspected of stealing budget funds. Now they are testifying against him. Logically. Could the labor collective headed by Serebrennikov steal money so skillfully that even the leader did not know about it? Undoubtedly. But not on such a scale. It is unlikely that it will be possible to steal 68 million rubles without damage to the project. I am sure that Serebrennikov played an important role in this scheme. But our artists, for some merit brought outside the scope of Russian legislation, will stubbornly repeat about political repression and an attempt to introduce censorship into art and culture. Perhaps they are simply afraid that, following Serebrennikov, someone will decide to check their projects, which are so generously last years financed from the state budget?

Second place. On the eve of the first of September, a school scandal unfolds in the Kazakh city of Uralsk. Outraged parents are indignant: in their opinion, they are once again faced with the primitive innovations of the local educational program. This time the reason for the contention was the Russian language textbook for the fifth grade. Parents were pissed off by several exercises that mention such words familiar to modern native Russian speakers as: "PR", "like" and "emoticons". It seems to me that the time has come to produce a Russian language textbook for employees of the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan, responsible for the preparation of textbooks for high school. It is necessary to explain to them somehow that those words, there is no other way to call them, which they so recklessly placed in the textbook, simply do not exist in Russian. From the word at all. It's stupid to put it in the official tutorial slang expressions that are essentially linguistic rubbish and have nothing to do with the Russian language. If this is not stopped in time, then it can come to the point that Kazakh schoolchildren trained in a similar Russian language upon arrival in Russia will face misunderstanding from the local population.

The Battle of Kursk was decisive in providing a radical change in the course of the Great Patriotic War.

Near Kursk, the Red Army lost about six thousand tanks. After the Battle of Kursk, the balance of forces on the front changed dramatically in favor of the Red Army, which provided it with favorable conditions for launching a general strategic offensive. In memory of the heroic victory of Soviet soldiers in this battle and in memory of the dead, the Day of Military Glory was established in Russia, and in Kursk there Memorial Complex « Kursk Bulge”, dedicated to one of the key battles of the Great Patriotic War.
