Sprache ist im postsowjetischen Raum hochpolitisch. Und so ist es Novyj Region eine eigene Meldung wert, daß die Außenminister der Ukraine und Georgiens eine gemeinsame Pressekonferenz auf Russisch abhielten.

Ein von Präsident Dmitrij Medwedew in die Staatsduma eingebrachtes Gesetzesprojekt soll allen Parteien im Parlament eine gleichmäßige Berichterstattung durch die staatlichen Medien garantieren. Wie Rosbalt reports, the proposed bill that need in the course of a calendar month, the public media on the same scale to report on all the parties represented in the Duma. The control here is the responsibility of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation. In the past, the preference of the ruling party United Russia was by state media repeatedly been the subject of criticism. The question remains, first, to what extent the non-parliamentary opposition in Russia can benefit from Medvedev's proposal.
Until now, Moscow is certainly not a capital of cyclists. The newspaper Nowy Izweztija credited to their readers now before that attributable to a resident of the metropolis, a quarter of a millimeter bicycle - with a total length of 2.5 kilometers. That the appropriate value for the Finnish capital Helsinki is then up to one meter. And again, the newspaper writes of bicycle parking in Amsterdam, would provide the space for 20,000 cycles - during this Konezpt in Moscow was still a novelty.
This may change now, anyway, if the will of the Russian cycling federation goes. This advertises for switching to the bike that a bike rider in need of traffic jam clogged the streets of Moscow for five kilometers only 16 minutes, a car driver, however 44th In addition, cycling is healthier. Another argument could, however, in times of economic crisis, Russia is particularly hard, as proved even more effective: the cost factor. The average cost for the use of a bicycle club in the estimated $ 25 per month and $ 150 for a car.
one prejudice would like to clean up the bike activists: that the Russian air just nicht geeignet zum Fahrradfahren wäre, sei ein Mythos. Wen dies noch nicht überzeugt, der kann im Internet zunächst in einem russischen Fahrradmagazin unter dem Titel pro Velo stöbern.
„ Nowyje Izwestija“ berichtet von einem Gesetzesprojekt, das Russlands Präsident Dmitrij Medewedew am vergangenen Samstag in die Staatsduma einbrachte. Danach soll einerseits die minmal erforderliche Mitgliederzahl für die Registrierung einer Partei schrittweise gesenkt, andererseits für die Parteiführung das Prinzip der Rotation eingeführt werden.
intended for re-registration of political parties instead of only 50,000 members, first 45,000, then 40,000 may be required. However, this hurdle has been raised from 10,000 to 50,000. Of the four parties represented in the State Duma are expected by the second proposed change, the rotation in the party leadership, in particular suffer the Communists. For the text of the law provides for the limitation to two terms for "leaders of a collegial, stable working organ of a party or its regional department before. This definition applies to Gennady Zyuganov, who has been as chairman of a collegial body, the Central Committee of the Communist Party in 1993 in office. His counterpart Vladimir Putin "United Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky and the LDPR Sergei Mironov of Just Russia bear the title of party leader and could therefore continue to exert their office indefinitely. This would be but also Boris Gryzlov, who heads the Supreme Council of "United Russia".
