The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, made a televised address on Friday to mark the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea, but it was not his statement that garnered more attention, but the strange scar on the Kremlin master’s forehead.

In the broadcast footage, a dark spot can be seen, which stands out against the background of Putin’s white face, the origin of which remains a mystery.

In his statement, the Russian president said he undertook the invasion of Ukraine to restore „something that everyone values, namely culture, traditions and mother tongue“ among the Russian population in the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.

Putin signed a decree on the entry of fall conscripts into military service

According to Putin, the war in Ukraine is also in the name of „historical justice“.

Nothing and no one can break the will of millions of people or their faith in truth and historical justice.

The free and unequivocal choice of our brothers and sisters was unconditionally supported by the Russian people, Putin noted in his speech.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the legal proceedings against former US President Donald Trump as „politically motivated persecution“, reported AFP.

The Kremlin, which is believed to be on friendly terms with Trump, has repeatedly spoken out in defense of the former president, who faces a string of election meddling charges.

„As for the persecution of Trump, for us, in the current environment, it is good because it shows the rottenness of the American system,“ Putin said at an economic forum in the Far East.

„This is a politically motivated pursuit of one’s competitor,“ he added.

Putin, who served in the Soviet security services, added: „And this shows who we are fighting against… As they used to say in Soviet times: ‘the beastly face of American capitalism.’

Relations between Washington and Moscow, strained by a number of issues under Putin, have hit new lows since the Kremlin launched a large-scale military operation in Ukraine.

Putin noted that he does not expect a change in the foreign policy position of the United States towards Russia, regardless of „who will be elected president“ next year.

He accused Washington of stoking anti-Russian sentiment among ordinary Americans.

„The current authorities have directed American society in an anti-Russian spirit,“ the Russian leader said. „They did, and now somehow turning that ship the other way is going to be very difficult.“

The number of Muslims in Russia is difficult to determine precisely, as there are no official statistics on the religion in the country. Different sources give different data, which sometimes differ significantly. Some officials and media refer to the figure of 20 million people, but this is disputed and may be an overestimate. This figure may come from the 1989 census, when Russia was part of the USSR and had many more Muslim republics. According to other studies, the number of Muslims in Russia may be as high as 15 million, or about 10% of the population.

On September 1, Islamic banking began to work in Russia.

It’s a government experiment. It is launched in four regions – Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Chechnya and Dagestan, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

Link to the original https://www.kp.ru/daily/27549/4817002/

The pilot project will last for two years. The cabinet will then consider whether it is worth expanding to the whole country. In the meantime, we will understand what this phenomenon is and why it is necessary.

The main feature of Islamic banking is that there is no such thing as interest in it.

According to Sharia, it is simply impossible to give and take money for interest – it is haram – forbidden.

This is a limitation for both savers and borrowers.

The question is reasonable, how can banks live if they are deprived of the opportunity to take and give money for interest?

After all, this is the point of their work. Will they do charity work?

That’s right – I won’t and I won’t. But there is a way out, the publication points out.

NOT AN INVESTOR BUT A PARTNER

What is a contribution? In fact, we entrust the money to the bank, and it spins and spins it as it wants: invests in shares, lends to other customers, etc. The main thing is that at the end of the deposit period, the bank returns the money to us with interest.

But for a depositor who wants to observe all the norms of Islam, it is very important how the bank „turns and turns“ his money.

What if he invested them in something forbidden to Muslims – for example, shares in a distillery?

Also, remember that usury (lending money for interest) is haram – forbidden!

Therefore, in Islamic banking there is a scheme of so-called peer financing.

The customer who brings money to the bank, according to the documents, becomes not a depositor, but a partner of the bank in its business.

And the bank shares the profit with him. At the same time, the bank can invest its customers’ money only in projects permitted by Islam.

For example, it is impossible to finance the production and sale of tobacco and alcohol products, pork, weapons, as well as the gambling business.

An Islamic bank can also invest in stocks. According to Sberbank Peer Financing Center, there are at least 18 shares of companies on the Russian stock market that can be defined as halal. Among them are Alrosa, Magnit, Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works, Yandex, Tatneft and Novatek.

And the result for all customers is the same. If the bank gives a deposit of 10% per annum, then this 10% will be received by both the „ordinary“ customer and the depositor under Islamic banking. The difference is only in the wording that will be written in the contract.

Credit in Islamic banking works in a similar way.

Let’s say a customer requests a loan for a laptop. And then the bank, acting according to Islamic rules, will buy that laptop for him and then sell it on payment at an inflated price. In fact, the bank in this case becomes an intermediary and sells the equipment at a higher price, including its profit in the cost price.

Now let’s take an Islamic mortgage.

It has been published for several years. In particular, one of the big banks comes from Tatarstan.

There really isn’t a percentage. As installments, equal payments. Free?

The site has a calculator. It turns out that for the use of a loan of 1.8 million rubles for 5 years, an additional 724 thousand rubles will have to be paid. This corresponds to an interest on the loan of 14.2% per annum. This is the normal mortgage rate. No more no less.

That is, whatever you call it – interest or loan overpayment – but an Islamic bank will charge you extra money for using borrowed money. For religious people, this matters. And for secular customers, there is no difference between Islamic credit and ordinary credit.

In this case, a reasonable question arises. Why then is this Islamic banking necessary, if its services differ from ordinary deposits and loans only by the wording in the documents?

In fact, the concern here is not primarily with individuals.

In the era of sanctions, the Western investor is reluctant to go to Russia.

And foreign investments are necessary for the development of the economy.

And the law on Islamic banking, according to experts, will help attract capital to Russia from the Middle East.

According to the Islamic Private Sector Development Corporation, the volume of the Muslim financial system in the world is about $4 trillion
And part of this money can already come to Russia.

In particular, negotiations are already underway with conservative investors from Turkey and Iran.

EXPERT OPINION

Islamic banking is more about ethics than business

Lazar Badalov, Associate Professor, Department of Economics, MISIS National Research and Technological University:

– It is not quite right to compare Islamic banking with Western European banking in terms of competition. The fact is that the differences are not related to competitive advantages, but to ethical and religious norms.

For example, Western European banking provides for the provision of a loan against interest, i.e. increasing money by borrowing it.

But in Islamic banking, usury is prohibited. Instead of a loan, Islamic banks can provide financing by setting up a joint venture with partners to share the profits received from investment in the project in the future.

It turns out that with a regular loan, the bank, regardless of the performance of the borrower, will require him to repay the debt plus interest.

In turn, Islamic banks tie debt repayment to project results, which simply demonstrates the ethics of Islamic business.

If I am not a Muslim, will they give me such a loan?

No one will force you to recite the Koran in the bank office. The law prohibits any discrimination, including on religious grounds. That is, anyone can get an Islamic mortgage or open a deposit according to Sharia norms. And here everything will be decided by the competition between traditional and Islamic banks. If the latter can give more favorable conditions, then they will attract more „partners“, regardless of their religion.

Islamic financing mechanisms operate in 136 countries around the world. At the same time, Islamic banks, due to their conservatism, are more likely to survive financial crises.

For example, during the subprime crash of 2008, they did best because they did not invest in risky securities (unlike Western banks that chased excess profits). Sharia prohibits all risky investments and complex financial instruments.

Former deputy of the Russian Duma Ilya Ponomarev said that the order for the liquidation of Yevgeny Prigozhin was not given by President Vladimir Putin, but by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Ilya Ponomarev stated that the S-300 missile systems (with which Prigozhin’s plane was allegedly shot down north of Moscow) are controlled by the Ministry of Defense, not the FSB, which makes the version that Putin is the guarantor implausible, Fakti reported .

According to him, it is difficult to judge whether Putin knew about Shoigu’s plan. However, it is clear that Putin had his own plans for PMC „Wagner“, so the death of Prigozhin did not benefit him at this time.

„Prigozhin revolted above all against Shoigu and Gerasimov,“ recalls Ponomarev. Two months ago, when Prigozhin organized a military coup in Russia, he said he wanted to overthrow the country’s military leadership, but did not mention Putin. His war was against Shoigu because the Ministry of War refused to supply Wagner arms and ammunition to the front in Ukraine.

„Whether Putin was aware or not – we don’t know at the moment…

But all the information I have suggests that Putin had various plans for a private Wagner army, including provocations in Poland and Lithuania… And now these plans fell apart,“ said the Russian opposition politician.

According to him, Shoigu has put Putin in front of a fait accompli. Perhaps Putin even started to respect Shoigu more to some extent. In Russia, such executions of inconvenient people are common. A number of contract killings were carried out in exactly the same way. Many of them were even done openly and publicly to send a signal to people who would potentially oppose the power in the Kremlin.

Shoigu knew that he would not be punished by Putin.

Another tension. The remains of the founder of PMC „Wagner“ Yevgeny Prigozhin were taken from the morgue in Tver. The businessman’s body was taken in an unknown direction, Russian media reported.

As Notepad recalls, the remains of the victims of the plane crash in the Tver region were delivered to the forensic examination bureau on August 24, the day after the accident. At the same time, the morgue was placed under increased security, and the police cordoned it off.

On August 27, it became known that one of the bodies was taken out, accompanied by security.

Well-informed sources confirmed that it was Prigozhin’s body, and that employees of the PMC „Wagner“ had taken it out to be sent to the northern capital.

According to preliminary information, Yevgeny Prigozhin’s funeral may take place on August 29. In particular, this was stated by the relatives of Deputy Prigozhin from PMC Wagner Valery Chekalov.

However, no comments have yet been received in this regard.

The VChK-OGPU reports that the relatives insist that the funeral be held in a small circle, and entry to the ceremony will be carried out with special tokens.

Завръщането на Васил Божков в България е тема номер 1 по БТВ и Нова тв в България в последните дни.

Неговия сват Стефан Софиянски по БТВ заяви, че се тревожи да не последва Алексей Петров. Снаха му Ива, която бе водеща по Нова тв, също изрази притесненията си.

Други предполагат, че има някаква схема, която самият Божков е предвидил.

„Той е математик. Всичко е изчислено“, заяви екперт от МВР по БТВ.

Нещата в България обаче очевидно не вървят съвсем математически за Божков.

Видно е, че той бе изненадан от случващото се в залата и дори му прилоша.

Връзката с Пригожин, която описаха, дойде съвсем ненадейно за защита му и за самия него.

Божков бе издразнен и озадачен. Това няма как да е изчислено.

Николай Бареков разви доста интересна теория.

„Това с Пригожин изненада в гръб и нокаутира Божков.

Някой го прикотка да се върне без да му казва каква бухалка го чака тук.

Сега Борисов, че и Влади Горанов, могат да пледират, че са били атакувани от  Путин.

Горанов спокойно може да поиска отмяна на санкциите по Магнитски.

Какъв свидетел срещу тях може да бъде Божков?!

Та той говори като маша на самия Путин!

И т.н., и т.н… Да му мисли и кошаревският божков свидетел Кирил Петков.

Какво нещо е животът. Колело. Понякога руска рулетка.“, пише Бареков.

Теорията му изглежда доста фантастична, но никак не е лишена от логика.

Бареков хвърли и друга интересна новина в публичното пространство.

Той твърди, че камера е заснела, човекът с маската и колелото, който е извършил засадата срешу Алексей Петров.

Видеонаблюдение в хотел 5 звезди в Бояна го е хванала, когато вади колелото от багажника на бял „Лексус“.

Засега няма официален коментар от МВР за твърденията на Бареков.

Със сигурност в района има и други камери за видеонаблюдение, които евентуално са заснели най-търсения човек в България.

Лидерът на Чечня Рамзан Кадиров коментира случилото се със самолета на Евгений Пригожин веднага след Путин.

Това е тема по БТВ и Нова от сутрин до вечер.

В Русия битува мнение, че е възможно да е жив. Водачите обаче изобщо не говорят за такава версия.

„Ние сме приятели от дълго време. С Евгений Викторович често трябваше да решаваме най-трудните въпроси.

Ние му помогнахме по някои въпроси относно Либия и Африка. Имахме много общи неща.

При едно от посещенията си той ми връчи златен медал на Вагнер „За особени заслуги“.

Можете да видите този момент на снимката“, каза Кадиров в изявление.

Ръководителят на Чечня обаче припомня и разногласия с Пригожин.

Според Кадиров напоследък шефът на ЧВК „Вагнер“ или не е виждал, или не е искал да види пълната картина на случващото се в страната.

Евгений Викторович беше много активен за възрастта си, той беше важна личност в национален мащаб.

Помолих го да остави личните амбиции в името на въпроси от първостепенно национално значение.

Всичко останало може да се реши по-късно. Но той беше такъв, Пригожин, с неговия железен характер и желание да постигне целта си тук и сега.
Рамзан Кадиров също пише, че Пригожин има голям принос за случващото се в Украйна.

„И тази заслуга не може да му бъде отнета.“, обобщи Кадиров.

Случилото се със самолета е загадка към момента.

Такава цивилна летателна машина няма система за катапултиране, няма и възможност за скок с парашут, защото височината, на която лети, е много голяма и това би било безсмислено.

Това обясни с в студиото на Нова нюз авиационният експерт Александър Богоявленски.

Той много прецизно говори за причината за случилото се със самолета, без да прави излишни спекулации.

„Разпад по време на полет“, така описа той причината.

Богоявленски коментира, че е имало е нещо друго, но дали то се  случило е вътре в самолета или отвън, след атака, няма как да се каже със сигурност.

Той добави също, че разпад при полет е най-рядката причина за падането на един летателен апарат по принцип.

На борда е имало не една, а две черни кутии, каза експертът.

Богоявленски обаче е скептичен дали данните от тях изобщо ще видят бял свят, дори и в Русия, да не говорим за международни разкрития.

Бившият военен министър Николай Свинаров също коментира случая и потвърди, че всички версии за него са възможни, включително и тази, че „готвачът на Путин“ Пригожин е още жив.

Международни експерти, а и обикновени руснаци споделят тази гледна точка.

Фалшивите новини в Русия са нещо напълно обичайно.

„Говорим за полет между Москва и Санкт Петербург, говорим за една държава, чиято информация от година и половина ние никога не приемаме за достоверна.

Сега обаче няма как да имаме друга информация, освен от Русия“, коментира Свинаров.

Бившият министър на отбраната ни сподели и мнението си за мястото на Пригожин в структурите на Путин.

Руският президент на практика официално заговори за собственика на частната армия „Вагнер“ в минало време.

Нарече „талантлив човек и бизнесмен“.

Путин също така подчерта, че е благодарен за действията на „Вагнер“ в Украйна.

Той не влезе в подробности за похода на групировката срещу Москва.

„Всеки иска да е на по-високо място, без да носи отговорност“, това каза по този повод Николай Свинаров.

The model of the Embraer private jet that crashed in Russia with Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenaries, on board has only one recorded accident in more than 20 years of service, and it was not related to mechanical failure.

Russian authorities said Prigozhin was listed as a passenger on the plane that crashed Wednesday night, killing all 10 people on board. The Russian news agency TASS reported that the plane was a Brazilian Embraer.

The company said it is aware of a plane crash in Russia involving a Legacy 600 aircraft, but has no further information on the case and has not provided maintenance services for that aircraft since 2019.

„Embraer has complied with the international sanctions imposed on Russia,“ the aircraft maker said. The sanctions prohibit Western aircraft manufacturers from providing parts or maintenance for aircraft operated in Russia.

The Legacy 600 entered service in 2002, according to International Aviation HQ, with almost 300 produced until production ceases in 2020.

There is only one recorded incident involving the Legacy 600 according to International Aviation HQ, which occurred in 2006. That time the machine collided mid-air with a Gol Airlines Boeing 737-800 on its way from Embraer’s plant in Brazil to the United States.

Despite the damage to the smaller plane, the pilot landed it and no one was killed or injured. The commercial flight’s Boeing crashed, killing all 154 passengers.

Two years later, a Brazilian air force report blamed two American pilots, air traffic controllers and faulty communications for the mid-air collision. At the time, a lawyer for the pilots said specific air traffic controllers and deficiencies in Brazil’s air traffic control system caused the accident.

An acquaintance of two of the three Bulgarians, who were today found to have been detained in Great Britain for espionage for Russia, spoke exclusively to bTV. She does not want to be identified for personal reasons.

The arrested are 45-year-old Orlin Rusev, 41-year-old Biser Jambazov and 31-year-old Katrin Ivanova. They have worked and lived in the UK for years.

„We have always been on friendly terms, but we have not touched on matters of business and finance. But I always felt that there was something – from conversations, from hearing, from speaking in codes, frequent trips on schedules. I always had one thing in mind,“ the woman told bTV.

She has known Catherine and Biser, who are a couple, for many years. She voted in the section in West London, in which they were both members of the SEC, when there were elections in Bulgaria.

An acquaintance of hers worked for them. According to her, the two transported „bad people“ to various destinations, mainly the Western Balkans and the Middle East.

Biser Jambazov and Katrin Ivanova settled in Great Britain about ten years ago. The two lead the public organization Bulgarian Social Platform, which provides services to Bulgarian citizens, including language courses.

A Russian woman became the negative hero of the day in Moscow after she took a taxi to the fire station of the special factory for optical instruments in Sergiev Posad to collect trophy items from there. The heroine was caught on video trying to load a mosquito net into the taxi, which had flown out of the window of a neighboring building as a result of the blast wave at the Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant.

The lady had opened the back door of the car when another woman pounced on top of her and picked up the stolen trophy.

„What does rolling mean, if it’s rolling, it’s probably somebody’s,“ says a male voice, possibly the video’s operator. Under the comments of indignation at her action, the Muscovite retreats back in the taxi.

The explosion at the plant went off on Tuesday, and the blast wave was so strong that all the windows in the surrounding buildings were blown out.

The Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant has an 86-year history and among its pride is „the favorite scope of the General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev“. The plant is part of the Rostec company, a leading developer and manufacturer of military optics.

The bodies of 10 people were found at the site of the explosion, and the death toll may rise.

12 people are missing without a trace.

A total of 60 people were injured, 8 are reported missing.

A huge explosion occurred at the Zagorsky Optical-Mechanical Plant in Sergiev Posad, Moscow Region.

Russian media likened the sight to a „nuclear mushroom“.

As a result of the explosion, a huge mushroom of thick smoke was formed over the plant, which is located 73 kilometers from the capital of Russia. The windows of hundreds of nearby buildings were broken. Others are partially destroyed.

According to Russian media, it is an „exploded warehouse of pyrotechnics“.

Streets near the plant are closed to traffic. According to initial data, 22 people were injured in the explosion, but it is possible that there are buried people at the scene of the accident, the clearing of which has not yet begun.

There are dozens of ambulances at the scene, but according to the medics, their number is not enough, writes the BAZA Telegram channel.

The plant in Sergiev Posad is part of the Rostech consortium and produces equipment for the Russian army. It produces infrared night vision devices for soldiers, optical sights, binoculars and other precision equipment.

In June of last year, there was another inexplicable explosion at the Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant.

Ordinary people in Russia love their country, but they are poor. However, the oligarchs there are richer than anywhere else.

If you thought expensive sports cars only exploded in epic action movies, you just weren’t in the center of Moscow this Saturday.
The Lamborghini driver had a really hot day: while driving an expensive car on Khilkov Avenue, the engine could not withstand either the heat of the capital or the intensity of passions and caught fire. Fortunately, the man was able to get out of the car before it burst into flames and almost completely melted. True, he himself did not seem to notice the fire. „Stop, your car is on fire!“ – the driver was saved by vigilant passers-by.

According to Mash, this Lamborghini is listed as new on the auto club’s site – it was registered just a few weeks ago.

But it is obvious that now the sports car, the price of which the Telegram channel estimated at about 50 million rubles about 500 thousand dollars, cannot be restored.

As for the unfortunate driver, he was simply unlucky: according to Mash, the man rented an elite car for just one day for 200,000 rubles and gave another 300,000 rubles on top as a deposit, which he now hopes to return.

Cader Wagner

The army of Belarus is conducting military exercises with fighters from the Russian private military company „Wagner“, reports „Reuters“.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the country, they are carried out at a military base near the city of Brest, on the border with Poland.

Poland has already moved more than 1,000 soldiers to the eastern part of the country because of the presence of „Wagner“ in Belarus.

We recall that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, invited „Wagner“ to start operations in his country as part of the agreement that ended the rebellion in Russia.

He stated that the Wagnerites were offered accommodation in former military camps. Subsequently, it was specified that it was a tent camp near the town of Osipovichi, Mogilev region.

On June 15, observers in Belarus reported a large convoy from PMC „Wagner“ arriving in the country. In the next two days, two other columns were spotted in the direction of Osipovici.

Yesterday, Prigozhin said in Telegram that he will make the Belarusian army „second in the world“.

This is a new gripe with the Russian military leadership.

Prigogine always said that the first army in the world was „Wagner“.

Dmitry Medvedev spoke last night about approaching the Third World War. The reason for his comments on the first day of the summit of the US-led alliance in Lithuania is that a number of countries have pledged more weapons and financial support to Ukraine.

According to the former prime minister and president of Russia, the aid will not prevent Moscow from achieving its goals in Ukraine.

„The totally demented West could not think of anything else,“ Medvedev added.
„In fact, it’s a dead end. World War III is getting closer,“ he added on Telegram.

„What does all this mean for us? Everything is obvious. The special military operation will continue with the same goals,“ he stressed.

The Kremlin calls its actions in Ukraine a „special military operation,“ while Kiev and its allies say Moscow is waging an unprovoked war to seize land and dominate its neighbor.

The West says it wants to help Ukraine win the war, and Western forces have already supplied Kiev with large quantities of advanced weapons and ammunition, BTA reported, citing Reuters.

Medvedev presented himself as a liberal modernizer when he was president from 2008 to 2012, but now he plays the role of a staunch opponent of the West, a supporter of extreme measures.
Diplomats say his views provide insight into the thinking at the highest levels of the Kremlin elite.

Medvedev threatened Europe with a strike on nuclear power plants

Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe could be subjected to strikes on atomic power plants and nuclear facilities, warned the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev.

The reason for his publication in „Telegram“, in which the threats are made, are the claims in the supposedly power-related Mash channel about attempts to attack a nuclear power plant in Russia with British Storm Shadow missiles.

These data have not been confirmed by any independent Russian or international media and agency, the regional authorities in the two districts in the region, Smolensk and Kaluzhka, have not made such announcements.

However, Medvedev, former president and prime minister of Russia, states that „if the attempt to attack the Smolensk nuclear power plant with NATO missiles is confirmed, it is necessary to consider a scenario of a one-time Russian attack on the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant (Nikolaev region – note ed.) The Rivne NPP (Northwestern Ukraine, near Rivne/Rovno – note ed.) and the Khmelnytsky NPP, and also on nuclear sites in Eastern Europe.

There is nothing to shrink from anymore.“

The Khmelnytsky NPP in western Ukraine is the same one for which last week in Bulgaria a proposal was again made to provide the reactors for the unfinished Belene NPP days before the visit of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Russian Ministry of Defense did not speak about the strikes mentioned by Medvedev and Mash. In a statement distributed by Russian agencies, there is talk of intercepted Ukrainian attacks on Russia with S-200 missiles, retooled in an offensive version and directed against the annexed Crimean peninsula, against the Russian Rostov and Kaluga (adjacent to Smolensk) regions.
