Several people were detained in Simferopol in the area of Ak-Mosque, where a traditional Crimean Tatar commemoration was held for the victims of Stalin’s deportation, titled “Light a light in your heart”. Journalist Anton Naumlyuk reported on his Facebook page that around 20 people were detained.
According to him, they were taken to various police stations, where the police took testimonies, fingerprints, footprints, DNA samples, and checked their phones. Afterwards all but one of the detainees were released.
As lawyer Edem Semedlyaev wrote on his Facebook page, this is Seytasan Asanov. He is charged under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (Disobedience to a Police Officer). His case will be heard on May 18 in the Central District Court of Simferopol.
A new ricochet from Roskomnadzor’s IP “carpet bombing” has struck the NTP – the network protocol resources used to synchronize the internal clocks of computers.
Based on the decision of the General Prosecutor’s Office of 27-31-2018 / ID 2971-81 for 16.04.2018, Roskomnadzor entered the IP address of the Russian version of NTP into its register of information forbidden for distribution.
This “friendly fire” strike on a not just innocent but also an extremely necessary service was first discovered by the executive director of the Association of Internet Publishers, one of the experts of the Internet Protection Society (OZI), Vladimir Kharitonov, as reported in his Twitter:
“Sorry to bother you, but why is the RKN blocking the site http://ntp.org with the time network? Is there extremism?” – 10:00 AM – May 22, 2018
We verified it. Indeed the IP address 89.175.20.7 is blocked:
This IP-address belongs to the site ntp2.aas.ru:
The IP addresses of the NTP services have fallen under this block in the context of Roskomnadzor’s struggle with Telegram. The first IP address blocks were recorded back in April of this year. Why Roskomnadzor and the Prosecutor General’s Office have gone to war against the exact time is not entirely clear.
Reference: pool.ntp.org is a huge cluster of time servers, providing a reliable and easy-to-use NTP service for millions of customers. Currently, tens of millions of systems around the world use the pool. It is used by default in most Linux distributions and in many network devices.

Disappearing languages of minority ethnic groups of Russia can be saved with the help of mobile applications. This was suggested by the advisor of the Chairman of the State Duma, the Director of the Institute for the Development of Parliamentarism, Alexei Chadayev, as reported by TASS on May 17.
He noted the current language inequality: for learning English there are many opportunities, whereas it is very difficult to find an interactive experience or teacher for rare and endangered languages.
According to Chadayev, in the age of digital technology it is difficult to learn rare languages with only books. To attract young people, applications that you can use on any device are needed.
“It is also important to raise this subject at the legislative level, at the level of regional parliaments. This is especially true because in some regions they are dropping the study of their native languages in school,” the expert believes.
In April, the State Duma introduced a bill against the mandatory study of regional languages in schools. It specifies that teaching and studying of the state languages of the Russian republics should take place on a voluntary basis and not at the expense of teaching and learning the Russian language. The bill has already been criticized in several republics, such as Tatarstan.
The loss of a language can be a grave thing, and often goes hand in hand with the disappearance of a people and a culture. For example, the Manchu people in what is now China have disappeared; in their place are people who are genetically, linguistically, and culturally Chinese. In Uighuristan, the Chinese government is using language education as a means of eradicating the undesired Uighur ethnic group.

Vasyl Barvinsky (Born on February 20, 1888 in Ternopil, died on June 9, 1963 in Lviv) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, and musicologist whose life and career were centered in Lviv. He wrote in a lyrical, romantic, impressionistic style. He played an important role in the musical life of Western Ukraine. The Soviets imprisoned him for a decade beginning in 1948, and all his scores were burned. He spent much of the rest of his life trying to rebuild his lost works. A number of them were later discovered in the West starting in the 1970s.
Biography
Barvinsky was born in Ternovil, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to a musical mother. His musical education began with lessons from her. She was a pupil of Karol Mikuli, the director of the Lemberg (Lviv) Conservatory.
Barvinsky went on to study at the Conservatory. From 1908 to 1914, he learned from Vitezslav Novák in Prague. In 1915, Barvinsky became the director of the Lysenko Institute in Lviv, after the previous director Stanyslav Liudkevych was drafted. Barvinsky held this post until 1939.
In 1928, Barvinsky did a tour of Soviet Ukraine with the cellist Bohdan Berezhnytsky. Fom 1937 to 1939, Barvinsky was on the editorial board of the journal Ukrainska Muzyka (“Ukrainian Music”). He was also the president of the Union of Ukrainian Professional Musicians, which existed from 1934 to 1939.
Lviv and the surrounding region were subject to much political instability as the result of the two world wars, the first of which resulted in the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Soviets took control of Lviv in 1939, and combined the Lemberg Conservatory with the Lysenko Institute, forming the Lviv State Conservatory. From 1939 to 1941, Barvinsky taught at the Lviv Conservatory. In 1941, Lviv was occupied by the Nazis and he lost his job. As the Nazis were defeated, Lviv was incorporated into the Soviet Union again in 1944. The same year, Barvinsky was made director of the Lviv Conservatory.
Barvinsky was disliked by the Soviet authorities. They exiled him to a labor camp in Mordova in 1948, and publicly burned all his scores. He was released in 1958, and spent the rest of his life trying to recreate his lost works.
The Soviet authorities posthumously “rehabilitated” Barvinsky in 1964, clearing him of the accusations made against him and restoring him from his “non-person” status. Beginning in the 1970s, a number of Barvinsky’s works that were believed lost have been found in the West.
Musical Style and Legacy
Barvinsky was the teacher of many pianists and composers in Ukraine. He was an important figure in the Lviv and West Ukrainian musical scenes.
As a composer, his style was romantic and impressionistic. He mainly wrote instrumental works of various types: an orchestral rhapsody, string quartets, cello pieces, violin pieces, a concerto, trios, sextets, preludes, etc. He also wrote choral and vocal pieces, including art songs (a traditional Ukrainian musical form) set to the poetry of Ivan Franko.
Barvinsky was also a musicologist. In addition to many reviews and articles, he wrote the chapter “A Survey of the History of Ukrainian Music in History of Ukrainian Culture, published in 1937. His writings were published in three volumes by Drohobych in 2004.
A draft law has been introduced in the Russian parliament, which provides for a criminal penalty for “malicious non-enforcement of a court decision to refute illegal, inaccurate or defamatory information”.
Deputies of the Duma S.M. Boyarsky, D.F. Vyatkin, A.Gribov, and M.V. Emelianov submitted the bill to parliament, No. 468839-7 “On Amending Article 315 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation”. The document proposes to make a number of changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with regard to punishment for “failure to comply with the requirements of the executive document obligating to stop the dissemination of illegal information and/or to refute widespread defamatory and/or unreliable information.”
“…an administrative sanction cannot always ensure proper enforcement of the provisions of the law,” the deputies state in an explanatory note to the bill. “Failure to enforce a court decision to stop the dissemination of illegal information or to refute the previously disseminated defamatory or unreliable information violates the basic constitutional guarantees for the individual — the state’s protection of the dignity of the person, his good name. Also, the constitutional requirement to disseminate information in a legal way is violated. On the other hand, not every offense can be recognized as a socially dangerous act. Criminal liability, as the most severe penalty, should be applied only in extreme cases, when it is impossible to take other legal measures to restore social justice and prevent the committing of new crimes.”
“To ensure the above balance of the application of measures of responsibility,” deputies suggest using the mechanism of administrative prejudice “bringing to criminal responsibility is possible only if the measures of administrative coercion do not force the offender to stop the illegal act.”
Authors of the draft law have proposed to introduce punishments of varying severity: from fines of up to 50 million rubles, or in the amount of the convict’s salary for a period of up to six months, or up to one year of imprisonment. As “intermediate” measures, they propose up to 240 hours of compulsory labor, or up to one year of correctional labor and up to three months of administrative detention.
“Malicious failure by a representative of the government, civil servants, municipal employees, as well as employees of a state or municipal institution, or commercial or other organization, to enforce a final sentence of a court, a court decision or other judicial act, as well as obstruction of their execution,” according to the deputies, should be punished “with a fine of up to two hundred thousand rubles or in the amount of the wage or other income of the convicted person for a period of up to eighteen months, or with the deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to five years, or by compulsory work for a period of up to 480 hours, or by hard labor for a term not exceeding two years, or arrest for up to six months, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.”
Recall that in April this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law No. 102-FZ, which allows court bailiffs to restrict access to Internet resources for refusing to remove information discrediting the honor and dignity of a citizen or the business reputation of a legal entity.
The Duma, also in April, supported another bill of the deputy Boyarsky in the first reading — on strict regulation of social networks. The bill equates them with the organizers of information dissemination (ARI) and presumes rather serious sanctions in case of its non-fulfillment. The document imposes a number of duties on the owners of social networks, such as the creation of a representative office in the territory of the Russian Federation, the removalupon demand of inaccurate information as defined in the bill, the observanceof relevant prohibitions and restrictions during elections or referendums, the establishment a program for counting users that Roskomnadzor will indicate, and so on.

According to statistics from the US State Department, at least tens of thousands of Uighurs in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China are detained in “reeducation camps” set up by the authorities. Uighurs and some scholars who are exiled overseas say that this number may be as high as almost one million.
One doesn’t have to do anything wrong to end up in these camps, of course. There is extreme surveillance in Xinjiang, so that people are watched even in their own homes through visits and “homestays” by government officials, and also through their phones and other electronics. In public places, they are carefully watched by surveillance cameras. If someone prays, fasts for Ramadan, or reads the Quran, they are at risk of being abducted and put in one of these horrible camps for as long as the government likes.
Recently, survivors of Xinjiang prisons and “reeducation camps” told the Associated Press about their horrific experiences during their imprisonment. These are by far the most detailed testimonies of the internal conditions of these detention facilities.
Amir Bekali, 42, was born in China to Kazakh and Uighur parents. In 2006, he emigrated to Kazakhstan and obtained citizenship there three years later. In March 2017, he returned to China to visit family. He was surprised to find that the hometown he left over a decade ago had changed beyond recognition. It had become a place of pervasive surveillance and arbitrary detentions.
A few days after his arrival, Bekali too was arrested. The police said that Karamay City had a warrant for his arrest. That was where he had lived over a decade ago. Bekali was kept in solitary confinement for a week before being transferred to the public security authorities in Karamay. The focus of the police interrogation was his cooperation with a travel agency in Kazakhstan. The authorities said that they helped Chinese Muslims obtain Kazakhstan tourist visas so they could flee China.
He stretched out his arms and showed how his body was hung up. His feet could barely reach the ground and he could not sleep for four days and nights.
He said that on weekdays, his hands and feet were tied to iron shovels and he was tied to his bed [translation is dubious here]. He could not stand upright or move freely.
“I’d go to sleep and hang my hand on the iron gate. It was like ‘toss me and torture me.’”
“They tried to make me confess to endangering national security. This was the first charge; the second was organizing terrorists, inciting terrorists, and shielding terrorists.”
Bekali was released from this torture thanks to the intervention of Kazakhstan’s diplomats. He was not freed but was put into a “reeducation camp.”
There, he and 40 other people were locked up in a room. Day after day, they would get up early in the morning, sing the national anthem, raise the national flag, and then be taken to a big room to sing communist songs. They were taught Chinese and the communist version of Chinese history, and especially about how the Communist Party “liberated” Xinjiang in the 1950s. What kind of liberation is it that entails being imprisoned and tortured? Before eating, they would shout in unison: “Thank the party, thank the motherland, and thank you, President Xi!” and in class, they had to repeat: “We oppose extremism, we oppose separatism, we oppose terrorism.”
What was most difficult for him to accept was that they had to constantly denounce Islamic beliefs, criticize themselves and criticize their loved ones. When Bekali refused to do so, he was stationed on the wall for five hours. One week later, he was kept in solitary confinement and was not allowed to eat for 24 hours. After 20 days in a heavily guarded camp, he thought of suicide.
Bekali was finally released in the end of November last year, more than eight months after he was arrested.
After that, he was allowed to leave China. But until today, he still can’t get out of that shadow.
“When you condemn yourself, deny your thoughts, your own nationality, that kind of stress is enormous,” he told reporters in tears. “Every night I think of the experience again until the sun rises. I cannot sleep. These ideas are entangled with me all the time.”
A few months later, his parents and sister were also placed in “re-education camp.”
“The case of AmirBekaliexposes China’s extreme policies towards Uighurs and Kazakh people,” said Omer Kanat, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Uyghur World Congress.
The “2017 Annual Report” issued by the US Committee of the US Congress pointed out that the religious freedom situation of Xinjiang Uyghur and Kazakh Muslims is deteriorating.

Reinhold Moritsevich Glière (Born January 11, 1875, Kiev, Ukraine – Died June 23, 1956, Moscow, Russia) was a Russian-Ukrainian composer and teacher of German and Polish descent, known for his nationally-themed Romantic music. He was highly honored and awarded by the Soviet government, and produced works based on folk music for the Soviet republics of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. He taught for many years at the Moscow Conservatory and had some of Russia’s most renowned composers as his students, such as Sergei Prokofiev and Nikolai Myakovsky.
Biography
Glière came from a musical family. His father was Ernst Moritz Flier, a maker of wind instruments. His mother was Josephine Kortschak, an instrument maker’s daughter. Their home was frequented by musicians.
Glière began studying violin under Adolf Weinberg. Around age ten, he entered the Kiev School of Music, where he studied for three years. He studied music theory, violin and piano under E. A. Ryb, a student of Rimsky-Korsakov.
In 1894, Glière entered the Moscow Conservatory. He learned violin from Mikhail Sokolovsky and A. Gzhimali, harmony from Anton Arensky and Georgy Konyus, counterpoint from Sergei Taneyev, and composition from Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov. He graduated in 1900, earning a gold medal for his compositional talent. By the time he graduated, he had written an opera, a quartet, an octet, and his first symphony.
In 1900, Sergei Taneyev referred two students to Glière who were ineligible for the Conservatory for different reasons. They were Sergei Prokofiev and Nikolai Myaskovsky, both of whom would later go on to have illustrious careers as composers.
In 1904, Glière married Maria Robertowna Renkvist. The next year, he went to Berlin to study conducting. In 1907, he studied conducting under Oskar Fried. The next year he returned to Russia and had a brief career as a conductor.
In 1913, Glière became the director of the Kiev Conservatory. He held this post for seven years, then in 1920 he became a professor of composition as the Moscow Conservatory. He continued to hold this post until World War 2. Among his students there were Sergei Prokofiev, Aram Khachaturian, Alexander Mosolov, and Nikolai Rakov. During his time in Kiev, he taught Boris Lyatoshynksy.
In 1923, Glière went to Azerbaijan to assist with the Soviet policy in the region. He moved to Baku and intensively studied Azerbaijani folklore and folk music. He produced an Azerbaijan-themed opera, Shah Senen, which was completed in 1925. He left Azerbaijan in 1924.
Glière was extensively honored and awarded by the Soviet authorities, notably being named the People’s Artist of the Soviet Union. He joined the executive board of the Association of Soviet Composers in 1932. From 1938 to 1948, he was the chairman of the organizing committee of the Soviet Composers’ Union.
In the thirties he wrote a lot of background music for plays and films. He also wrote patriotic music such as the Festival Overture to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Communist revolution, and the Friendship of the Peoples Overture to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Stalin Constitution. He also studied Uzbek folk music and produced the drama Gulsara and the opera Leili and Medjnum. Using Ukrainian themes, he produced the choreographic poem Zaporozhstsy.
Musical Style and Legacy
Glière wrote many pieces based on national or regional folk music. His music is written in a traditional Romantic style. He is greatly appreciated in the former USSR and less known elsewhere.
He produced two full operas, two ballets, two concertos, three symphonies, four string quartets, and hundreds of vocal songs, piano pieces, and chamber pieces.

About 10,000 virtual reality glasses will be distributed to attendants of the FIFA World Cup soccer matches in Kazan. This was announced today at a briefing in the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan by the head of the State Committee for Tourism of Tatarstan, Sergey Ivanov.
Kazan will host six World Cup soccer matches. According to Sergey Ivanov, it is expected that during the games Tatarstan will host more than 200,000 tourists. Visitors will come not onlyfor the World Cup matches, but also to get acquainted with Tatarstan and plunge into the atmosphere of the soccer festival in the fan zone at the “Kazan” Family Center.
According to Sergei Ivanov, 10,000 pairs of cardboard VR glasses will be distributed in the territory of the fanfest. Tourists will be able to get to know Kazan, the island of Sviyazhsk, Veliky Bolgar, and the video “Tatarstan: 1001 Delights“, which will be presented in English and Russian.
“Our task is to make the tourist a fan of Tatarstan before they receive this gift in the form of glasses. We understand that tourists will not have the opportunity to visit all our tourist centers. Therefore, we prepared 10,000 pairs of glasses, so that the guest, by using his phone and clicking on the link, can watch the videos on Bolgar, Sviyazhsk, Kazan.
We hope that after returning home, tourists will show these things to their friends and they will also have a desire to come to Tatarstan,” said the head of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The headliner of the fanfest will be the popular singer Zemfira.
According to Sergey Ivanov, bright information tents will start operating in Kazan on June 1.They will be located in five locations in the city: on Bauman Street, next to Nogai Hotel, at the Central Railway Station, Kazan Kremlin, and Staro-Tatar Sloboda.
During the World Cup, 100 volunteers will be ready to answer any questions from guests. Tents will be open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Currently, guides are being finalized, with maps for tents in five foreign languages: English, French, Farsi, Spanish and German. The range of souvenir products has also been expanded.
The Head of the Tourism Promotion Committee of Kazan, Daria Sannikova, noted that this year the gastronomic festival “Tasty Kazan” will be held in two stages. The first was held alreadyduring the Volleyball Champions League. It was visited by over 40,000 citizens and visitors. The second stage will be held June 17-18 during the World Cup. The festival is dedicated to the celebration and development of food culture, and will also allow Kazan to present its restaurants and cafes.
Sannikova tells us that on June 17 at the “Tasty Kazan”, we will witness the largest specimen in the world of the national Tatar dish “chak-chak”. It will weigh no less than 1300 kg. The organizers expect that this achievement will be recorded in the Russian Book of Records.
The creative program will include a tablecloth woven with national ornaments from the countries whose teams will take part in matches in Kazan. According to Sannikova, the length of the tablecloth will be about 150 meters, and it will be made of cotton.
At the briefing, representatives of Kazan’s restaurants and enterprises showcased products and dishes that can will be offered during the festivities. Among them – the Georgian dish khachapuri with an ostrich egg, soccer-field shaped dishes, and much more.
Also on show during the World Cup will be museum exhibitions, such as the “Tsar’s Gifts” exhibition from the State Hermitage Collection (St. Petersburg), Peredvizhniki from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), and many others, as we have been informed by the Director of the Kazan Kremlin Museum, Zilya Valeeva. At the last visitor can see the masterpieces of Vasnetsov, Kramskoy, the Makovsky brothers, and many other geniuses.
Guests of the restaurant at the Horse Yard will be offered the unusual dish “FIFA Salad in Tatarstan with Chak-Chak Pieces”, as reported by the Director of the Sviyazhsk State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum, Artem Silkin.
“We worked on this recipe for a long time and understood that, unfortunately, we cannot use grass from lawns for food. So there will be traditional lettuce leaves. The soccer ball will be symbolized by quail eggs, and the local tradition is chak-chak pieces. And the sauce will be secret. The taste is simply unforgettable,” he intrigued. In addition, in the complex of the “Lazy Torzhok” historical reconstruction from June 14 to July 15, you will have the opportunity to test your skills and score a goal in armor.

Foreign students in Turkey who wish to obtain a residence permit will no longer need to deal with the migration service. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised that students will be able to have residence documents issued from their institution.
There are currently 115,000 foreign students in Turkey. According to Erdogan, the goal is to bring this number to 350,000. To this end, the state will provide students and graduates with work permits, reduce the time required for issuing health insurance, and write off debts for insurance premiums.
“Previously, students graduated from our universities and returned home, because the state did not interact with them. Now we are ready to correct this mistake,” the president said.
