Every fifth family in Russia does not have access to a centralised sewage system. But neither the government nor the regional authorities are going to do anything about it. Why? Simply because if they allocate money for sewage, they really have to build it, because sewage has specific consumers – millions of people all over Russia, and they will definitely ask about it. But they are always eager to give Rosneft 400 billion roubles for development of Arctic oil deposits (although the volume of oil reserves in the permafrost has not even been confirmed) or Rostech [the Russian technological corporation for facilitation of development of highly technological products] “the amount that is not to be disclosed”, or [funding] creation of a Russian equivalent of Skype. Because the real costs of these state-owned corporations cannot be checked and, probably, only Igor Sechin [head of Rosneft] and Sergei Chemezov [head of Rostech] know the real cost of their developments.

Grigory Yavlinsky on the results of the investigation of Russia’s interference into the US elections
Grigory Yavlinsky’s web-site, 26.03.2019
The investigation by Robert Muller, Special Counsel [of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections] ended without charge or justification. Robert Muller did not find evidence of Donald Trump’s collusion with Vladimir Putin in the 2016 presidential election. Obviously, Muller was looking for some documents, testimony, contacts, evidence of direct agreements with Trump or his assistants about the interaction, playing the pass, carrying out some election campaign “special operations”… And he did not find anything like that.
This is not surprising.

Why did people came out on a rally?
Because they protect their right to vote.
This year, the head of Ingushetia proposed to make such amendments to the constitutional law on referendum so that the republic’s leadership could solve the issues of the region’s borders without the consent of its residents.

In the twentieth year of Putin’s rule, an understanding of freedom in Russia was reduced to the discussion of punishment for posts and likes on the Internet. But what is real freedom? This is primarily life without fear:
– when people are not afraid of the police, the National Guard (Rosgvardia) and the Federal Security Service (FSB);
– when people are not afraid that their business will be taken away from them;
– when people are not afraid to build housing for themselves like equity holders, when they are not afraid to get under some kind of “renovation”, when they are not afraid that their family will be thrown out of the apartment due to someone else’s absurd decision;
– when people are not afraid that they do not have enough money to educate their children;
– when people are not afraid that their elderly parents will be left without pensions and medicines.
