Recently, talks of a possible mobilization in Russia have been getting louder. According to the law, the authorities can only declare mobilization in the case of foreign aggression towards the country, and not in the case of military operations on the territory of another state. However, since the bombing of the Belgorod or Bryansk regions could be considered a case of aggressive behavior it would not be difficult to justify the decision.

The past week was rich in scandals involving the main actors of state propaganda. Servants of the state, far from liberal circles, unexpectedly rushed to attack them. First, Senator Eduard Rossel proposed to legally ban rudeness in the media. He submitted his amendments to the relevant law after the country’s chief propagandist Vladimir Solovyov called his native city of Yekaterinburg «the center of a vile liberota».
