So it is not only good for voting, but so to speak a private "Gestapo to carry along".

I mean like the state couldn't already do this via phones. And let us be honest - people are going to carry their phones more often than their IDs.


So it becomes the matter of resources and motivation and fortunately, Russian state has neither to the extend that security service was lobbying for softening up survailance legislation.


Plus you can always buy an RFID envelope if you are turbo paranoid.

Remember that official arrested for treason?
https://www.rbc.ru/society/09/07/201...b26bd?fromtg=1
Well, allegedly he was sending transcripts of the security council meetings abroad.

It was reported by me here earlier.

An aid to the president's representative in Ural region arrested for treason. Allegedly he worked for american and polish intel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presid...tion_of_Russia
You can read about the regional representatives (envoys) in there.


Essentially they have a key macro-regional coordination role for the executive branch.

Yeah Russian language links don't help me but I was mainly curious about the ski mask. That's the same guy in the small inset pic just below right? What exactly is he or the state trying to conceal?

What do you mean not reported? That would generate considerable coverage and discussion over here.

You have asked two questions. I have answered them in the order they were asked. I am not aware of any reporting about the mask. Not sure why it would be newsworthy. One reason I can think of - he may have been trying to conceal his identity and it may have worked, considering how there are restrictions on the case materials due to it's nature.

First S-400s got delivered to Turkey. I wonder what the US reaction is going to be.

One of or all three possibly

Exclusion from the F-35 programme.
Possible sanctions.
Eventual expulsion of Turkey fro NATO.

Who can predict how Trump will react.

There is no rule which prohibits NATO members from purchasing Russian weapon systems. War is big business, and Turkey just gave Russia a truck load of money for these missiles. I'd bet, NATO members are just getting their panties in a wad because Turkey isn't buying their products.

What Russia needs to be wary of is Turkey providing NATO S-400 technology and capabilities. Because lets face it the divide in Turkish Russian relations has run deep for a very long time with no substantial improvements in sight.
