There is such a news wire under the name of «Kaplya zhelchi» [A drop of bile–Trans.] There, wonderful Russian journalists, as a rule, oppositionally disposed in relation to the regime of Putin, subtly observe certain peculiarities of this regime.

Here the journalist and human rights advocate Alexander Podrabinek noticed that in just one day, the Bashkirian parliament prepared and subsequently adopted 15 minutes later a law on social guarantees to civil servants. According to a report by RBK DAILY, a president of 4-million-strong Bashkiria [which prefers to be known as Bashkortostan–Trans.] who has left his post is going to get a pension equivalent to 242 thsd. euros per year. This is more than the salary of the current president of 65-million-strong France (231 thsd. euros per year), the prime minister of 62-million-strong Great Britain (216 thsd. euros) and exactly as much as the salary of the chancellor of 81-million-strong Germany.
