Russian journalist Maria Ponomarenko, who was detained in St. Petersburg in April on accusations of discrediting the Russian armed forces in social-media posts about the war in Ukraine, has been transferred to a Siberian psychiatric hospital, her lawyer reported on July 2.

Lawyer Sergei Podolsky said Ponomarenko will be evaluated at the Altai Clinical Psychological Hospital for 28 days.

Ponomarenko faces up to 10 years in prison for a Telegram post about the Russian bombing of a theater in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in which hundreds of civilians were killed.

TIJELO ruskog tajkuna Jurija Voronova (61), šefa tvrtke Astra Shipping, pronađeno je u predgrađu Sankt Peterburga. Tijelo je plutalo u bazenu, a na glavi je imao prostrijelnu ranu. Pored njegovog tijela pronađen je pištolj marke Grand Power, piše MK.ru.
Tvrtka Astra Shipping je surađivala s Gazpromom. SPARK-Interfax navodi da je Astra-Shipping 2020. godinu završio s gubitkom od 95 milijuna rubalja, a 2021. s gubitkom od 65 milijuna rubalja.
Voronovljeva supruga kaže da je on otišao u Lenjingradsku oblast 1. srpnja. Prije odlaska je došao u sukob s poslovnim partnerima oko gubitka novca.
Ovo je peti smrtni slučaj u šest mjeseci povezan s ruskom plinskom industrijom.

OK, dobio si nesto, drpio dosta, i dok to radi dobro ziveces. Onog momenta kada ne radi, i tvoj zivot za drzavu/fsb/drustvo gubi vrednost i zavrsices kako si i inace trebao kada smo ti davali da imas.

Just a few months ago, Yandex stood out as a rare Russian business success story, having mushroomed from a small start-up into a tech colossus that not only dominated search and ride-hailing across Russia, but boasted a growing global reach.
A Yandex app could hail a taxi in far-flung cities like Abidjan, Ivory Coast; Oslo, Norway; or Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and the company delivered groceries in London, Paris and Tel Aviv. Fifty experimental Yandex robots trundled across the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, bringing Grubhub food orders to students — with plans to expand to some 250 American campuses.
Often called “the coolest company in Russia,” Yandex employed more than 18,000 people; its founders were billionaires; and at its peak last November, it was worth more than $31 billion. Then President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia invaded Ukraine.
Almost overnight, as Western investors bolted from Russia and Western governments imposed harsh economic sanctions, its value dropped to less than $7 billion. The Nasdaq stock exchange suspended trading in its shares.
The sudden distaste for most things Russian prompted the company to shutter various international businesses, including the delivery services in London, Paris and Columbus.
Thousands of employees — nearly a sixth of the total — fled the country. Its founder, Arkady Volozh, and his top deputy stepped aside after the European Union sanctioned both, accusing them of abetting Kremlin disinformation.
The company is not facing insolvency. But its sudden change of fortune serves not just as a cautionary tale for investors in an authoritarian country dependent on the whims of a single ruler. Yandex is emblematic, too, of the problems Russian companies face in a radically changed economic landscape and of the growing divisions over the war in society at large.
