Ministry of Justice of Russia included in the list of foreign agents the all-Russian public movement to defend the rights of voters “Golos”.
Because the movement was not officially registered, it ended up in the register of unregistered public associations performing the functions of a foreign agent.
This year, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation created this register and the “Golos” movement was the first on this list.
The Ministry of Justice noted that “Golos” was funded by an Armenian citizen.
Russian authorities are preparing Takeover of Belarus according to the Daily Express. This view was shared by Brian Whitmore, chief scientist at the Eurasian Center of the Atlantic Council. He noted that the statement by senior Russian officials that such an “annexation” was not being prepared was “dust in the eyes.” Whitmore.
In general, the publication says that Russia is trying to use economic and political mechanisms to organize the “merger” of the two countries. According to Whitmore, the Belarusian economy is highly dependent on Russian oil imports and potash exports. Lukashenko's agreement to export products through Russia is a concession and a signal that Russia is gradually taking control of the neighboring country's economy.
The article was also from the point of view of a military analyst and employee of the Center for the Analysis of Maritime Problems Michael Kofman believes that Russia intends to assert itself in Belarus and militarily through regular exercises. According to him, this year was a “qualitative breakthrough” in the presence of Russian military forces in Belarus.
The Kremlin press service reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin had telephoned Iranian President Seyyed Ibrahim Raisi.
The parties paid close attention to the events that took place in Afghanistan. Both leaders have expressed their readiness to contribute to stability in the country.

Former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani stole According to The website of the diplomatic mission from the treasury of $ 169 million, said the Afghan ambassador to Tajikistan, Muhammad Zohir Agbar. He stressed that Ghani's action was “a betrayal of the state and the nation.”
Agbar emphasized that he recognized Vice President Amrullah Saleh as incumbent president. Agbar also intends to turn to Interpol to arrest Ghani and bring him to justice.
At the same time, Shakhriyer Nazriev, director of the Interpol National Central Office in Tajikistan, noted that they had not received requests for Ghani's arrest, but if they were, they would certainly be considered.
Recall that the media previously reported on Ghani's escape from the country by a plane full of money. Ghani himself said he left the country to “prevent the massacre.” At the same time, a few days before the flight, he loudly announced the “reorganization of the armed forces”.
Today, August 18, at the site of the news agency TASS answered the questions of journalists Governor of the Territory of Stavropol Vladimir Vladimirov. One of the current problems is the rise in prices for the so-called “borscht set”.
Journalists were interested in how this problem is solved in Stavropol. Vladimir Vladimirov first noted that food prices should be monitored in the same way as the prices of essential drugs, that is, a system of state control should be introduced. Vladimir Vladimirov believes that the next convocation of deputies of the State Duma should come with initiatives in this direction.
“It is necessary to consolidate the policy of additional fees for the main type of product. You can't leave the market for basic life-supporting products, “said Vladimir Vladimirov. The head of the region also stated that 1,348 fairs were held in the region during the year, which is 248 more than in the previous year. The “Vegetables at the Entrance” project has also been renewed, allowing people to buy fresh farm products right in the courtyard of their homes. Of course, their prices are several times lower than in retail chains.
“If you can buy potatoes in a large chain for 37-39 rubles, then in the yard during the event for 17, the difference is obvious,” – said the example of the head of Stavropol. Recall, previously Governor Vladimir Vladimirov ordered the regional department to implement a set of measures to reduce vegetable prices. In addition, yields are expected to increase in Stavropol this year – the largest increase is expected for potatoes and vegetables in greenhouses.
Gennady Communist Party Leader Zyuganov commented on the report that the Communist Party faction in the State Duma introduced a bill to return the retirement age to 55 for women and 60 for men.
Zjuganov noted that the bill was signed by the entire Communist Party faction.
“Therefore, the first law we will adopt after the election will be the abolition of this pension cannibalism,” he said.
However, for this bill, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation must gain a majority in the forthcoming elections in order to guarantee its adoption. The Federation of Independent Trade Unions and the Federation Council believe that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation raised this issue and registered the initiative only as an element of the election campaign.
Former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev said the lessons of the emergency committee were still relevant. According to him, the democratic path of development is the only right one for Russia.
Gorbachev recalled that he refused to sign a decree establishing a state of emergency in the USSR because he considered the steps of the State Emergency Committee to be criminal. In this regard, he appealed to the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Soviet, arguing that coupmen were cheating people and trying to seize power.
Gorbachev is confident that the people of the Soviet Union do not want to return to the old order and that democratic institutions have stood the test. At the same time, it entrusts the State Emergency Committee with much of the responsibility for the collapse of the country, which it appears to have saved.
Taliban terrorist the movement told Russia that the people of Afghanistan must hand over all their weapons and ammunition to them.
Recall that on August 15, terrorists seized power in Afghanistan and President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Thousands of people want to flee the country, which is now turning into an “Islamic emirate.” However, the country's borders are closed and the airports are not working.
The Taliban previously said it was not going to oppress women, close schools and hospitals. In addition, they invited women to participate in the formation of the country's government. However, experts believe that in this way, terrorists are seeking international recognition for their regime.
The speed of Ukrainian administrators' flight will be even higher
These Washington-backed regimes must now learn from the situation in Afghanistan, says writer and politician Zakhar Prilepin.

On my page On a Telegram channel, he commented on a video from Kabul Airport, where US troops chased Afghans fleeing the country from planes:
According to him, “The speed of flight of Ukrainian administrators, mercenaries from Odessa and” heroes “of attacking abandoned Mariupol and abandoned Slavyansk – during the withdrawal of the US administration from Kiev, will be even higher. “
Prilepin is known for fighting in the OPO. In addition, according to him,” this Afghan horror, surprisingly (nothing really special), needs to be looked at especially carefully in Armenia. This is what “American stocks” look like. No one will give the ruble for the national sovereignty of the countries that live from these shares. Prilepin believes that the escape of the Americans from Kabul is not an accident. “Before the meeting between Putin and Biden, I said ten times on all channels that Biden would give up several positions.” No one, to put it mildly, believed. After the meeting between Putin and Biden, I repeated 10 times on all channels that we know nothing about the outcome of the meeting. But these results exist. They just didn't tell us about them. And so we look at the world around us. Oh, this is a wonderful world. I like Biden more than Trump. Take care of Biden, “the writer joked.
CNN said that Embassy staff America in Kabul, while preparing for the evacuation, he destroyed the passports of some Afghan citizens.
Andy Kim, a member of the US House of Representatives, added that the embassy canceled visits for visas and passports and documents already held by diplomatic staff.
“Visa services in Afghanistan are now impossible,” Kim said.
CNN states that it does not have precise information on the reasons for the destruction of passports, but does not rule out the possibility that such actions are enforced. The staff did so so that they would not fall into the hands of the militants of the radical Taliban movement (a terrorist organization banned in Russia).
Recall that in the past, US embassy staff destroyed important documents and computers during the evacuation.
