While leaders of the countries of "G8" had summit in Germany, there was finally reached an agreement between Iran and Democratic People's Republic of Кorea according to which Iran up to the end of the year would receive from Northern Korea some tens ballistic missiles "Taep'o-dong-2" with range up to 4000 km. It's known that today Iran does not have ballistic missiles capable to reach the Europe. But after finishing of deliveries "Taep'o-dong-2" they will have such rockets. North-Korean "Taep'o-dong-2" can possibly reach both Berlin and London and even Paris from the Iranian territory. Probably, Russian special services, taking into account a degree of their degradation for the last 15 years, know little about deliveries of the rockets "Taep'o-dong-2" to Iran. However Americans, Israelis, Saudi Arabians, Egyptians, Jordanians, Turks are quite informed about it.

Yesterday we were witnesses that there was no Internet in Russia. That is, certainly, there is such a place where the one with a certain degree of probability can see weather forecast or "google-map", to buy techniques without the margin for the trading areas and even "to take" quite passable miss for joint passing the time. Meanwhile there is no independent information environment. If today there was a nuclear war, the president of the USA would declare himself lifelong Turkmenbasha or Britney Spears would give a triplet birth of piccaninnies, we wouldn't simply get to know about it. If on leading technical platforms because of not so ultra-mundane heat the largest resources, including "Rambler" and "Yandex" are cut down, saying nothing of "other finnier" such as FORUM.msk or KPRF.ru, it means that they will be cut off when it is necessary. When it is necessary? Wrong, it is necessary to ask - WHOM it is necessary to?

According to the American institute "Blacksmith Institute", average life expectancy in Norilsk is 10 years less, than in other part of Russia. Inhabitants of Norilsk have oncological diseases 1,65 times more often, than on the average across Russia, inhabitants of "the central area" of the city even - in 2,7 times. These are 85 ill people for every 10 thousand people. Every year we address to doctors for help for the various reasons more often. On each one thousand people the quantity of references in a year has made 1369.8 times in 1995, 1591.8 - 1999, 1668.5 - 2001. Such tendency continues. Constitutional laws of each of 230 thousand citizens on favorable environment, on trustworthy information about its condition and on compensation of the damage guaranteed by the 42-nd article of Constitution of the Russian Federation are broken, that is inadmissible in a lawful state. We wish to live in favorable ecological conditions, for this purpose it is necessary to oblige "Norilsk Nickel" to start immediately erection of additional clearing complexes and a technique of operative decrease of metallurgical factors (when the cloud of wastes gets into the city).  

One of three last remained governors-communists lost his post. Vladimir Putin accepted resignation of the governor of Kamchatka, a member of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Michael Mashkovtsev and appointed vice-governor Alexey Kuzmitsky care-taker of the governor. Mashkovtsev asked out in connection with the federal constitutional law of July, 12th 2006 N2-FCL "About Formation in the Structure of the Russian Federation a New Subject of the Russian Federation as a Result of Unification of the Kamchatka Area and Koryak Autonomous Region". Until recently Kuzmitsky held a post of the vice-governor of the Kamchatka area. 40-years old Kuzmitsky supervised questions of mutual relations with municipalities. The real applicant for a place of the governor Kuzmitsky became on May, 16th after his meeting with Vladimir Putin. Kuzmitsky appeared in the area in May, 2005. Making comments about his appointment Mashkovtsev noted that he made it because of personal recommendation of Vladimir Putin. Eugene Laukhin from Management of FSB was appointed one more vice-governor of Kamchatka. Rumours about Mashkovtsev's resignation appeared long time ago, but he staid on his post just because of the fact that regional team was diluted by "the ones from St.-Petersburg".

For those 7 years that Putin is at authority, Russia lost all its geopolitic grounds almost without fight. It lost them because present ruling elite doesn't care them at all - it - the ruling elite - didn't struggle for them. 7 years ago Russia because of postSoviet inertness was regional empire. Actaully the disposer of postSoviet space in the majority of postSoviet capitals. Moscow was treated as senior brother and senior partner. It's different now. For 7 years Russia passed from the first geopolitic league where there are regional powers, to the second - where there are simply provincial states, which influence does not spread over own borders. Naturally, for many states this situation is historically comfortable, but it's not so for Russia, because it has not got used to it. But the ruling Russian class hasn't understood and realized it yet.

Once upon a time, in other life the singer who was called "ambassador of the Soviet song" sang a song in which Victory Day was called "a holiday with tears in ones eyes". At that time it was tears of old losses, tears of cherished memory. Victory Day in today's Russia is also a holiday "with tears in one's eyes" but these are tears of bitterness, insult and humiliation. However, perhaps, the most drama events were developed after the termination of the main action of Victory Day, after the meeting on Lubyanka peacefully ended. The left youth went to the metro station "Sokol" where picket against the monument to the general Pannvits and white generals - Krasnov, Shkuro, etc - in Moscow, the picket was agreed with the local administration and should have taken place at 3p.m. The first unexpectedness waited for the Komsomols on a place. In a church fencing where a monument was situated (on the place of honour - as if it was burial place of heroes who died "for belief and fatherland") as it appeared, action of nationalists took place. Imperial flags flutter, an orthodox requiem is taking place but at the same time hands are thrown up in traditional ancient Roman greeting, in due time accompanied by exclamation "Heil!" in someone's personal address.

Achievement of the compromise between President Victor Jushchenko and Prime Minister Victor Janukovich about carrying out of preschedule parliamentary elections in the Ukraine is being actively commented by political analysts. So, acting on a site of Institute of national strategy "APN.ru" political scientist Jury Shevtsov declared: "Juschenko with the new parliament will obligatory begin to pres the Russian Federation. A theme of the Caspian raw material will be present in this pressure... The Ukraine turns to a very active westernized force between region of Caspian Sea, EU and Russia. All large-scale events in the Russian Federation, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Transcaucasia, Iran, Southern Russia will occur with greater Ukrainian participation.... This is more dangerous event for the Russian Federation, than even "orange revolution"...

It's no easy to understand the Frenchmen. It's unexpectedly enough for the extraneous observer that former Minister of Internal Affairs, the candidate from right-centrist "Union for National Movement" Nikolya Sarkozi is the leader of the second round of presidential elections in France. By results of exit polls, he was supported by 53 percent of the Frenchmen. The candidate from Socialist party Segolen Ruayal received 47 percent of voices. At our Russian sight Segolen Ruayal is better on all parameters. But the Frenchmen seem to know it better - it will be they who, eventually, will have to name this person, who is alike all well-known French comedians, the president for some years.

On May, 2nd the Office of Public Prosecutor of the Amur area brought a charge against the governor Leonid Korotkov in abusing official powers, excess of official powers and negligence (item 2, article 285, item 2, article 286 and item 1, article 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The State Office of Public Prosecutor estimates damage to the budget of the Amur area which appeared as a result of Korotkov's illegal activity in 123 million roubles. According to the inquest, as a result of Korotkov's illegal activity during the years 2003-2006 average selling tariff for electric and thermal energy for the consumers was illegally increased on the territory of the area. The increase of the tariff occurred because expenditures connected with football club "Amur" in the sum 41 million roubles were included in it. Besides the governor bought road techniques and two automobile cars from "Torgfinance", Ltd for the sum of 40 million roubles, thus at the prices which exceeded their average market price.

After announcement of a minute of silence in honour of Boris Yeltsin by Vladimir Putin before the beginning of reading of the message to Federal assembly far not all the present in a hall stood up. For some reason mass-media again told lies - actually representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation refused to pay tribute to the late dictator in the Kremlin also. At last opposition began to understand clearly - having agreed in small, it has to agree in all the rest also. For example, in proceeding at Putin's liberal dictatorship final suppression of liberal freedom. Putin directly addressed Federal Assembly with the request to accelerate acceptance of amendments in the legislation which toughen the responsibility for extremist actions. And as there was no case that the parliamentary majority refused to satisfy Putin's requirements, one could expect that after dispersal of the next march or beating in Himky there would be a procedure of rewarding of law enforcement bodies instead of justifications.
