The Ministry of Interior of the Russian Federation offered to take the fingerprints of migrant workers

The Home Office, together with other law enforcement agencies, has drafted a bill proposing to collect workers' fingerprints migrants arriving in Russia. The document is published on the Federal Portal for Draft Regulatory Legal Acts.

It is clarified that there are currently exceptions for highly qualified specialists and employees of foreign companies, but they are absent in the proposed version of the bill.

The authors' documents also suggest collecting information on the fingerprints of those who receive Russian citizenship and those who arrive in the country for a period of more than 90 days.

Yesterday, the head of the investigation committee, Alexander Bastrykin, proposed an initiative to introduce compulsory genomic recording for those coming to work from countries of the former USSR. AiF.ru explained what this measure is and why it is necessary.

Before that, the publication wrote about how the wives of migrant workers working in Russia live in Tajikistan. There are now around 1.5 million Tajik migrant workers in the country, most of whom only visit their families once a year.

Russian speakers are accused of COVID-19. Has a new “witch hunt” started in Latvia?

The fight against COVID-19 has turned into a grueling series, in which rare moments of lull are replaced by long episodes of lull 39; exacerbation. People are sent home over and over again, desperately trying to bring down a new wave. & Nbsp;

“The process did not go well”

History teaches that often in such situations in various societies there was psychosis, when the majority tried to find the culprit in everything. At different times this has resulted in a 'witch hunt', Jewish pogroms, persecution of national minorities, etc.

In this regard, modern Latvia has returned to old traditions. Russian speakers are being pointed out as the culprits of the next exacerbation of the epidemic in the country. & Nbsp;

Since October 21, strict containment has been put in place in Latvia by decision of the country's government for the period until November 15. Most shops, entertainment and education establishments are closed. The reason for these measures was a sharp increase in the number of cases. For example, on October 27, 3,206 cases of the disease were recorded, which became the national record for the entire period of the pandemic. On the same day, 33 people died from the coronavirus in the country & mdash; & nbsp; there has not been such a mortality for a year.

The numbers are only insignificant in the context of large countries, but for Latvia itself they are frightening.

The Prime Minister of the Republic Krisjanis Karins at a press conference he explained why this is happening: “The vaccination process has not gone well …” If we don't radically change something, hospitals won't be able to helping not only coronavirus patients but also vaccinated people who will have other worsening illnesses … I have to apologize to all vaccinated that our efforts have failed not been successful. It's not fair, but we have to carry this burden together. “

` `They do not use the information that is offered in the national language ''

The culprits for the spread of the infection were quickly found & mdash; & nbsp; all recent weeks in Latvia, they write that the vaccination failed – due to the refusal of representatives of the Russian-speaking minority to be vaccinated.

The portal Rus.lsm.lv published an interview with a senior pulmonologist at the clinical university hospital named after P. Stradinya Zaygoy Kravale : 'Four out of five patients' Russian-speaking. We have a feeling that this group of patients is not the one who is against the vaccination, but they are patients who somehow didn't hear this information. It's not enough with them, maybe they've spoken. '' Spoke even more candidly: “ The Russian-speaking population receives information from other sources , and obviously these sources aren't very correct, or don't provide good information on what to do. And they don't use the information that is offered in the national language. & # 39; & # 39;

Do you taste the taste of good old Nazism? Russians don't know Latvian, they listen to the bad media, where they are taught the wrong thing, and that's why they get sick more often. And at the same time, they become carriers of infection.

True, more moderate experts point out that the greater number of cases of infection among Russian speakers is explained by the fact that they mainly live in large cities, where the risk of catching an infection is objectively greater. But it is easier for the Latvian authorities to believe than the Russian speakers & mdash; & nbsp; are savages, harming themselves and others.

& # 39; Colonists in no rush to vaccinate and are now overloading hospitals & # 39;

Member of the Latvian Seimas of the 'National Association' party Janis Iesalnieks wrote on Twitter: 'Latvian children will no longer be able to study and play sports because settlers who arrived in Soviet times are in no rush to get vaccinated and are now overcrowding hospitals. So unfair. & # 39; & # 39; The author of this article is a member of a party that is part of the ruling coalition in Latvia.

In general, it seems that somewhere near Riga there is a school of the famous Nazi doctor Mengele . Only this can explain the statements of Latvian doctors regarding sick Russian-speaking residents of the country.

Family doctor Andris Baumanis In an interview with Ir magazine, he noticed that Russian speakers have been waiting too long for the Sputnik V vaccine and now the price is paid: “We have to understand two things. Firstly, for many years we have not been able to integrate the majority of Russian speakers into Latvian society. It's hard to fit in people who aren't ready for this because they see themselves as a great nation … Lots of dead. Most unvaccinated Russian speakers at retirement age will die. It's cynical, but it will have a positive effect on the social budget, because every person who dies gets rid of it. ''

By understanding the situation in Latvia, it is difficult to get rid of the feeling that a situation the limited access of Russian speakers to vaccines and information about vaccinations is being artificially created. And not by the mythical “Kremlin propaganda”, but by the Latvian authorities themselves.

“I'm getting the vaccine because I want to meet my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather.”

Let's put aside the utter contempt for the “ Satellite V & # 39; & # 39; & mdash; & nbsp; it is not so much a Latvian problem as it is a pan-European problem. But what about the promotion of vaccination?

In spring 2021, the campaign “ Two million reasons to get vaccinated! & # 39; & # 39; held in Latvia. Among the posters there was also a photo of the former footballer of the Latvian national team Kaspars Gorks & nbsp; signed in Latvian: “I am getting vaccinated because I want to visit my grandparents. Advertising agency Nord DDB Riga also released a Russian version of the poster, but the text there read: 'I'm getting the shot because I want to meet my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather. & # 39; & # 39; Of course, the effect of such an “advertisement” turned out to be the exact opposite of what was expected.

Head of agency Andris Rubins Apologized: “ We would like to offer our sincere apologies both to the Russian-speaking residents who were hurt by a translation error in the publicity materials, and to all participants in the vaccination process: doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and anyone who cares about the vaccination process in Latvia went smoothly and quickly. & # 39; & # 39;

The State Language Center has banned advertising of vaccinations in Russian

But the point, of course, is not just a silly poster. In spring 2021, the Minister of Health of Latvia & nbsp; Daniel Pavluts in the & nbsp; program & laquo; Points on i & raquo; The LTV7 TV channel admitted: “ Big topic & nbsp; & mdash; usually it is & nbsp; availability of channels broadcasting in & nbsp; Russian. It is that & nbsp; do we & nbsp; are experiencing some difficulties for & nbsp; reach the Russian-speaking part of the population of Latvia at the & nbsp; television and & nbsp; so on & hellip; We are receiving criticism for our attempts to publish material on vaccination in Russian. & Nbsp; we are in communication with & nbsp; State Language Center & nbsp; and & nbsp; so on & hellip; For example, we & nbsp; do not have the right to publish a newspaper which is simultaneously in & nbsp; Latvian and & nbsp; in & nbsp; Russian & raquo ;.

This is not a mistake and not a reservation of the Minister & mdash; & nbsp; the director of the State Language Center (STL) Maris Baltins banned the dissemination of printed materials on vaccination in Russian. For the reason that a Russian newspaper can accidentally get into & hellip; letterbox to a Latvian. Apparently the Russian text affects Latvian in the same way that garlic or holy water affects evil spirits & mdash; & nbsp; but how do you understand this otherwise?

Ten days ago, the National Electronic Media Council revoked the license of First Baltic Channel. This move fits well with the government's move to eliminate Russian-speaking media, but it's especially curious that it happened after the PBK announced a series of programs on the need for vaccination. At the time of these, such actions by officials were called 'sabotage'. with the consequences for them. & nbsp;

Apartheid oasis

The Latvian government is currently in discussions as to whether the Ministry of Health can be allowed to send vaccination materials to Russian-speaking residents of the country. Some ministers, even in this situation, are against the slightest linguistic indulgence. In fact, the linguistic minority in Latvia is deliberately cut off from sources of information and then the people themselves, pushed to their limits by the government, are accused of being oblivious and 'spreading the word' infection. & # 39;

If somewhere in Germany officials blamed the spread of COVID-19 migrants and doctors started talking about the benefits of shutting down a non-titular nation to reduce the burden social, what would they do with both? Guaranteed end of career and possibly criminal prosecution.

But Latvia & mdash; & nbsp; is an oasis of very strange relationships with other nations, of which the existence of civilized Europe pokes fun at.

“Malicious Provocations”. SPbGUP students will be expelled due to gross violations

On November 1, the Academic Council of St. This decision was made in connection with a number of malicious violations of various regulatory documents and contracted obligations to the university. Thus ended the conflict that had agitated academia in St. Petersburg for an entire month.

St. Petersburg Humanitarian University of Trade Unions & mdash; & nbsp; one of the most popular universities in Russia. The competition this summer was 69 people per seat. Applicants choose it due to good study conditions and 100% employment in the past 20 years. “ Of course, such results are achieved through strict discipline and a high level of standards, '' & mdash; celebrated at university. & nbsp; Sometimes up to 200 poor students and truants are kicked out per year. And this year & mdash; & nbsp; unprecedented story, expelled & nbsp; a whole bunch of offenders. & Nbsp;

The Council meeting lasted over 3 hours and began with the announcement of the report of the commission established on September 30. The task of the commission was to study in depth the activities of the students of the group in three main episodes:

& mdash; & nbsp; participation in illegal collection of money for former teachers of SPbGUP & nbsp; & mdash; spouses Levitskys and participation in Levitskys giving underground lessons during pandemic containment (academic year 2020/21);

& mdash; & nbsp; organization of a staged video shoot of fake 'fainting' one of the students in order to discredit the management of the university, a false call to the police by telephone and the dissemination of inaccurate messages with signs of defamation on the Internet and the media, which occurred on September 27, 2021;

& mdash; & nbsp; organization of riots, defamation and humiliation of teachers and university staff by students already during the work of the committee on October 12, 2021, which served as a basis for the judgment lessons for a group of students.

The commission conducted interviews for video recording with 25 students, 5 parents, interviewed witnesses of these events among the staff and students of the university, viewed a large amount of video material, including camera recordings of security in the building and on the territory of the university, the adjacent territory, studied the text and other materials, objectively reflecting the events mentioned, evaluated the collected materials and presented their findings to the Board.

It should be noted that the events mentioned, as well as the behavior of most of the students during the work of the commission, are unprecedented for the entire 95-year history of SPbGUP & nbsp; & mdash; of course the students were kicked out earlier, but not the whole group at once and only for truancy and poor academic performance.

As reported to the university, almost all of the students in the group violated the regulations of the President of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Governor of Petersburg, the Rector of SPbGUP, as well as the Charter of SPbGUP, the Rules of Procedure for Students of SPbGUP and a number of provisions of the Education Agreements. On the facts of individual offenses, there is the prospect of initiating criminal and administrative proceedings.

The report contains a detailed scientific analysis of the social and psychological state of the group. Responsibility for the conflict is attributed to former teachers Levitsky, who during the educational process withdrew from the teaching methods adopted in St., using memory aids, answering questions about common patterns for the group, etc. The students interviewed were unfamiliar with the SPbGUP charter and their own study agreements, had strange ideas about their rights and no & mdash; & nbsp; about their responsibilities, some broadcast conversations with the board over the phone to parents online and repeated parents & # 39; answers to questions posed to students … All this is captured on video & raquo ;, & mdash; & nbsp; graded in college.

As a result, the Academic Council decided by two-thirds of the votes on a personal approach when deciding the expulsion.

The path to Empire. For half a century, Europe did not recognize the title of Russian emperors

300 years ago, on November 2, 1721, the highest military and civilian ranks in Russia gathered in St. Petersburg to celebrate the Peace of Nishtadt concluded in September.

In Troitskaya Square, near the Trinity-Petrovsky Cathedral, units of 27 regiments of the victorious army were lined up. 125 galleys of the Russian Baltic Fleet entered the Neva. The highlight of the holiday was considered by many who came to read the Instrument of Peace Ratification, which summed up the results of the long and difficult Northern War. However, the public was surprised. Archbishop Theophan Prokopovich , delivering a sermon after the liturgy, for the first time appoints Tsar Peter I the Great, father of the homeland and emperor of all Russia. Then the floor is taken by the kants & shy ler, Count Gavrila Golovkin , who graciously asks the sovereign to accept all these titles. Thus, with the cries of “ Vivat! & # 39; & # 39 ;, The cannon and the musket salute Peter I takes the title of emperor.

For some reason, it is generally believed that Russia has acquired a new status to this day and time. Some even call this date the “ birth of an empire, '' sacrificing historical accuracy at the expense of beauty. & Nbsp;

Empire without a crown

However, Russia has long been an empire. Both in practice and internationally. Because the empire & ndash; It is first of all the supranational character of the state, which unites the different peoples under its power and universal law. Russia already in the 15th century fully corresponded to these ideas. And after Ivan the Terrible united the khanates of Kazan and Astrakhan under his scepter, it was somehow indecent to doubt Russia's imperial status.

Another thing is & ndash; how to name the ruler of the empire. Here, as they say, each bast was aligned. Because this is how the place of a particular state in the hierarchical system of & shy; has been demonstrated. The title of the rule made this clear & ndash; who is a 'trembling creature' and who has a “ right. & # 39; & # 39;

Above all stood, of course, the Emperor. After the collapse of Byzantium in 1453, the emperor in Europe was alone. And he was the head of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation. A step below were the royal people of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal and others & ndash; they were called & # 39; Majesty & # 39; & # 39; you, that is, sovereign monarchs. Still lower down stood the voters and dukes & ndash; title 'Majesty' shy 'in' they weren't supposed to anymore. Where were the Russian monarchs in this pyramid?

Poor parents?

Unfortunately, at the very bottom. Yes, for themselves they were kings & ndash; title equal to imperial, since it comes from the word “ Caesar '' or Caesar, which was one of the synonyms for Emperor. But it didn't affect Europe and didn't make an impression. They had to prove their status by actual deeds.

And after the Time of Troubles, Russia fell out of the cage. If Ivan the Terrible was still recognized as a 'Majesty', then later ' Alas. Peter I's grandfather, Mikhail Fedorovich , & timid; the first Russian czar of the Romanov dynasty, was not a czar in the eyes of Europe. In the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, summarizing the results of the Thirty Years 'War, he appears under the title Magnus Dux Muscoviae, i.e. the' Grand Duke of Moscow. & # 39; & # 39; # 39; Russia was then effectively lowered to the rank of a supernumerary duchy.

Therefore, Peter's task was to make the name of the Russian Tsar both weight and prestige. Thus, when it is argued that Peter I, before accepting the emperor of the “ timid; title, & # 39; & # 39; has long given up & # 39; & # 39;, this should be understood as coquetry. Because he wanted to get that title from the start of his independent reign.

The first step was taken immediately after the young king in 1696 defeated the Turks by taking the fortress of Azov. It made an impression. Already in 1697, when the Vienna Union Treaty was signed between Austria, Russia and Venice, Peter insisted on changing his title. And win. He is called the Tzarea Majestas, the Royal Majesty. From this moment it is for Europe & ndash; sovereign monarch. But that is not enough for Peter. A new cycle begins.

Pierre's particular journey

The Russian Tsar manifests himself here as a virtuoso master of political maneuver. While there were more defeats than victories in the Northern War, Peter sat quietly. But as soon as the situation began to change in favor of Russia, he began to move closer to the coveted title. Step by step.

The first big victory & ndash; take Narva & ndash; took place in 1704 And already in 1706 Peter conferred the title of count on Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev . It would seem, so what? And the fact that “ granting graphs '' until now only the Holy Roman Emperor had the right. In 1707, after Kalisz's victory, Peter made Aleksashka Menshikov no longer a count, but a prince. Gradually, Europe learned that the Russian Tsar was free to grant imperial titles to his subjects.

After Poltava, in 1709, according to a foreign diplomat, “the boyars obtained from the Tsar the titles of Grand Imperial Chancellor and Imperial Vice-Chancellor, thus hoping to enjoy great honor and respect. “In 1711, Peter established the Senate & ndash; Like the Roman Empire in times of antiquity. Russia is gradually acquiring imperial attributes. This is noticeable in Europe. Danish envoy Yust Juhl writes: “ Now, both in Russia and abroad, there are people who seek to please the Tsar with the Imperial title, prompting them to to seek recognition of this title from all crowned heads of Europe. & # 39; & # 39;

Holy truth. When Pierre visited Paris in 1717, the business of his recognition went so far that the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs circulated a special note in which the subjects of King Louis XV were strictly prohibited from d & # 39; call Russian guest 'Imperial Majesty' ;.

Add to queue!

The funny thing is that after the official award of the title of Emperor of All Russia to Peter I, there are a lot of 'turned-ons' moving. and categorically refused to recognize this status. France & ndash; the longest. The first to recognize Peter as emperor were his allies & ndash; Prussia and Holland. A year later & ndash; defeated Sweden. Then a number of smaller states & ndash; from Republican Venice and Geneva to the Parma region. In 1725 Peter died, but his heirs and successors continued to fight for the imperial title. It was accompanied by scandals, sneaky covert attacks, sometimes even outright rudeness. Still, Russian stubbornness prevailed. In 1732, Denmark recognized the imperial title to the Russian monarchs. In 1734 & ndash; England. The Holy Roman Empire clinging to its exclusivity & ndash; in 1742 Spain & ndash; in 1759 the Rzeczpospolita & ndash; proud Poles to recognize the imperial status of Russia was like a sharp knife. But they also lost in 1764, barely 8 years before the first partition of their state. And in the dispute with France, the Russians only gained the upper hand in 1772, when Catherine II was appointed with the full Imperial title. It took almost half a century for the whole of Europe to finally recognize the right to Russia, which she had from birth.
