Mislite da postoji samo jedna Moskva?



U svijetu postoji nekoliko desetina manjih i većih naselja po imenu Moskva. Naravno, napoznatiji među njima je glavni grad Rusije. Prema popisu stanovništva iz 2015. u gradu živi 12 milijuna stanovnika. Vjerojatno vam nije poznato da se još dva sela u Rusiji isto zovu Moskva.






Predstavljamo vam Moskvu u Belgiji, mali grad nedaleko od Genta u kojem prema podacima iz 2004. živi 4 747 stanovnika. Grad je ime dobio 1814., u vrijeme kada je ruska vojska bila u ovim krajevima.








U SAD-u postoji najmanje 22 naselja s imenom Moskva (odnosno Moscow, kako ga Amerikanci nazivaju). Najveće među njima je grad Moscow u saveznoj državi Idaho, smješten na granici sa saveznom državom Washington, i prilično je veliki - prema popisu iz 2010. ovdje je živjelo 23 800 ljudi.







Širom svijeta ima mnogo naselja s ovim nazivom, tako da bi zaljubljenicima u putrovanja trebalo mnogo vremena da ih obiđu. Sljedeće mjesto u našem obilasku je Moscow u američkoj državi Kansas. Iako prema podacima iz 2010. ovo malo naselje broji samo 310 stanovnika, nismo ga zaboravili








Moscow postoji i u Kanadi, ali tamo nije glavni grad, naravno, već malo mjesto u okrugu Stone Mills u saveznoj državi Ontario.








Sljedeća stanica je Moscow u Istočnom Ayrshire. Vjeruje se da je ime nastalo pogrešnom fonetskom transkripcijom naziva Moss-hall (''dvorana mahovine'') ili Moss-haw (''mahovina i glog''). Prema popisu iz 2006. ovdje živi 118 ljudi.








Mnogo bliže Rusiji je selo Moskva u centru Poljske, 130 kilometara od Varšave. Ovdje je prema podacima živjelo 110 ljudi.

Opposition MPs call for all Russian media to report foreign funding
Published time: 7 Oct, 2015 10:43

A fresh bill drafted jointly by all opposition parliamentary parties requires Russian media to inform the state watchdog about any money received from foreign sources, or face fines and closure.
According to popular business daily Kommersant, the bill provides for amendments to the Russian Law on Mass Media and the Administrative Code, and orders all companies registered as mass media outlets to report any financing from foreign sources within a 30-day period. Violation of this rule would lead to confiscation of the sum received from abroad and fines of between 30,000 and 50,000 roubles ($470-$780) levied on the top managers of the media company. Repeated violations would lead to a court ruling revoking the mass media license of the company.

The demands do not apply to money received for advertising.

“Currently, certain countries are increasing their pressure on the Russian mass media through economic leverage, oppressive agencies and so-called ‘rulings of judicial bodies.’ At the same time, we see attempts to directly influence the Russian information space through extending foreign grants to Russian mass media in order to cause biased reporting and create a distorted picture of political reality,” the explanatory note attached to the draft bill says.

“If someone transfers money from abroad, our citizens must know about it. There is a lot of negative information about Russia right now. I am not against objective coverage, but when they start to inflate tensions it becomes bad,” said one of the MPs who drafted the bill, Vadim Kharlov, of the center-left Fair Russia party.

Communist Party MP Aleksandr Yushchenko dismissed allegations that the new bill could become a censorship tool and noted that it was important to oppose the bias of certain lobbying groups that use money to attract journalists to their side. “Information is not just traded goods, it is a weapon and we must remember this,” he said.

The new bill is similar to the Russian “Law on Foreign Agents” introduced in 2012, which orders all NGOs engaged in politics and receiving any funding from abroad to register as foreign agents or risk substantial fines. Groups with “foreign agent” status are banned from sponsoring Russian political parties, but otherwise their activities are not restricted.

The Foreign Agents Law caused a lot of controversy and protests since its preparatory stage. Russian and international NGOs have criticized the new law as discriminatory and contested it in Russian courts and in the European Court of Human Rights, but with no result. The sponsors of the act and top Russian officials have repeatedly emphasized that its main purpose was to provide better information for voters that would eventually benefit democracy.

Earlier this month, President Vladimir Putin allowed for some corrections to the NGO foreign agents law, but said that they would concern more precise definitions of the terms used in it with the general scheme left intact.

Vladimir Putin has signed into law a bill, which sets the maximum foreign stake in Russian mass media companies at 20 percent.

The law will come into force on January 1, 2016, and media companies must submit reports on their stockholders before February 15, 2016.

The sponsors of the motion said the main reason behind it was the desire to provide maximum information security. They also noted that the 20 percent limit was chosen because a 25 percent share would enable a powerful veto possibility, allowing its owners to exert serious influence on the information policy of any media outlet.

“Those who own information own the world. It is obvious that when foreigners enter the mass media market of any country they practically gain access to people’s minds, to forming public opinion. And we must draw a clear line here – what are the reasons behind such purchases? Do they want simply to do business or do they want to enforce their policies and to change the situation inside the country?” asked MP Vadim Dengin of the nationalist LDPR caucus.

Gospodin Sergej:

Za ovaj srušen putnički avion mi više zanimljivo da ima Rusa koji idu kao turisti u Egipat.

The nature of passengers’ injuries from the Russian jet that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai on Saturday may indicate that an explosion took place aboard before the plane hit the ground, an Egyptian doctor who examined the bodies said, Sputnik news agency reported.

"A large number of body parts may indicate that a powerful explosion took place aboard the plane before it hit the ground," an Egyptian forensic expert told the agency.

Piloti, navodno, nisu poslali nikakvu poruku da nešto nije u redu. Ne znam ako jedan motor eksplodira može li uništiti trup aviona.

Briti kažu da je avion vrlo vjerojatno srušila bomba, prizemljili sve svoje u Sharm-el-sheikhu.
