On Saturday, Russia’s president Dmitry Medvedev will meet with leaders of four parliamentary parties to discuss preparations for political reform. Representatives of the parliamentary opposition was created in October demarche in the State Duma, hoping that the Kremlin to them at least show respect.

On Saturday, the residence of the President of Russia in Zavidovo come the leaders of four parliamentary parties – United Russia, the LDPR, the CPRF and Fair Russia “. This was confirmed by “Gazeta.ru” a source in the presidential administration. The meeting should be attended secretary general council EP Vyacheslav Volodin, deputy speaker of the State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the Fair Russia faction in the State Duma Nikolay Levichev. On the meeting itself, participants learned only the day before.

The meeting will be devoted to the preparation of political reform, which next week, January 22 to discuss the state of the Presidential Council. Writing the main report on the reform, which will deliver the State Council Kaliningrad Governor Georgy Boos, close to completion, said the source “Gazety.Ru” in the Kremlin.

Thus, according to his information, the report will be the most neutral, and the most radical and ambitious proposals of parties will not get there. “Most of the proposals of the opposition will be filtered” – he said.
Thus, the source said, in a rough version of the report made no mention of the fact that political parties abolish the procedure of collecting signatures for the election. At the same time is supported by the idea of introducing elections only on party lists at the regional level.

Before the State Council of the Party, both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary, the Kremlin sent in dozens of proposals to change the electoral law.

Meeting with party leaders – the latter for the politicians to somehow influence the fate of the report. Sami policy not worry that the Kremlin did not approve of most of their ideas.

“The president simply can not take all our suggestions. Thank you and on the fact that many of the ideas discussed were voiced in his message and that will be held on a state council “- modestly said” Gazeta.ru “leader of the LDPR faction Igor Lebedev.
According to first deputy chairman of the Duma’s Communist faction Ivan Melnikov, illusions about the fact that all the proposals in the report of the Communist Party will get the president, his supporters were from the very beginning, so they expect the State Council quietly. “We expect that the power that something will change, or whether it will be a session of respect for the opposition”, – said Melnikov.

Nevertheless Melnikov hopes that a number of proposals (such as the prohibition of governors, “locomotive” headed the electoral lists) will still be taken into account. “You have to understand that the wave away from our proposals are not so simple. For a wide range of three parliamentary factions come out with similar positions. Also in October, three factions emerged from the audience not to talk about the elections and to ensure that the political atmosphere and the electoral practice, there have been concrete changes, “- said he was” Gazeta.ru.

If events unfold in a negative scenario and the opposition’s voice is heard at the State Council, worse, according to Melnikov, would not the minority, but first and foremost the authorities themselves. “They otfutbolyat no opposition, and the elections themselves, as soon not only the citizens will lose interest in them, but party activists and potential candidates”, – he said.

The leader of the faction “Fair Russia” Nikolay Levichev chose not to make plans for the future. He noted that, most likely, the tone of the state council will largely depend on the outcome of tomorrow’s meeting of leaders of parties with the president.

Among the proposals, which the party voiced previously, the abolition of early voting at the regional and municipal level, the sharp restriction of voting with absentee ballots and the elimination of the mandates by the method Imperiale, which gives an unambiguous advantage of the party, became the first in the elections, changed the rules of formation of election commissions.

“Spartacus” from St. Petersburg has suffered another defeat in the next crucial match, having lost the chances of continuing the struggle in the Eurocup basketball. Thus, after the first group tournament Russia has already lost three of their representatives in the second-ranking European club tournament. The ups and downs match-thriller, in which joy and despair of fans went hand in hand, in the material Sport.ru.

Tuesday late in the evening St. Petersburg Spartak in the final round of group tournament of the first European Cup took on his dance floor club from Bilbao. Decision ULEB start of the match was scheduled for 21:30 Moscow time, which, however, not particularly bothered loyal Spartak fans, who came to this late hour to support their favorite club. Most of them began to gather around the Jubilee long before the match, holding the traditional pre-match warm-in the nearby catering establishments.

And when the workout on the dance floor “Jubilee” left the Spanish club’s players, all present realized that for an easy stroll in the match “Spartak” would not come in – the guests came to nothing for them meaningless to the standings in terms of game in its active inventory , leaving only Axel Bilbao Ervelya, who suddenly had problems with obtaining visas Russia. However, “Spartacus” is also brought to viewers in the optimal composition to date.

White started the game, Pashutin, Fields, Rakovic and Meshcheryakov by owners parquet and Warren, Rodriguez, Markota, Banič and Mumbru – among the guests. Score of the match at the end of the second moments of the game opened Milovan Rakovic, removing red-white forward. But very soon, by the efforts of Chris Warren and Alex Mumbru, who have scored a couple of 9 points, “Bilbao” stepped forward and maintained his advantage, as it turned out later, before the siren the end of normal time the match.

Alex Mumbru experienced by typing in the first quarter of 8 points for every taste – from fine lines, and rapid isolation, force the aisle, throwing from a distance – from the very beginning of the meeting began solo at the site, confirming its highest grade. But at Spartacists game had no luck. Most noticeable was James White. Alone Yegor Mescheryakov at the proper level resisting opponent’s superior forces and that the first quarter ended with just three points gap in the account – to his credit. And all finally became clear that the team from the Basque Country is not going to “jaw” in St. Petersburg can not make decisions for them the match.

In the second quarter of the picture on the dance floor did not change – the Spanish team at the expense of a longer rotation, did not allow employers to reduce the difference in the account. Even on the contrary, in the course of the match edge “Bilbao” at times exceeded 10 points. Of the recognized leaders of the red-white player gets, by and large, only a Meshcheryakova. And get a chance to distinguish Zozulin and, especially, Zavoruev, they are not used. In addition, the owners completely lost the fight for the rebound in the first half of the game collecting all 4 (!) Rebound, while the Spaniards only attack took entire 7 rebounds (total 14). And if not a difficult shot Zakhar Pashutin worth 3 points for 2 seconds before the big break, the mood before the second half of the game would be quite bleak.

“From the recognized leaders of the red-white player gets, by and large, only a Meshcheryakova”

In the course of the third quarter of the owners parquet price incredible effort had imposed on the Spaniards a tough fight throughout the site, resulting in a slow but steady decline in the margin account. The only judge in this match observed violations of the rules are very selective too: their vision became truly an eagle on Spartakovskaya half of the site, and at the opposite end of it they suddenly overcome by “blindness.” Another, perhaps, the fact that the owners of parquet in this match struck 17 free throw, while the guests – 45 (!), Not explain. But, of course, look for the cause lesions only in the judges should not. One way or another, but the third quarter remained for masters – 21:18 and before the final ten the their backlog dropped to just four points. Upset only that three players already hosts (Fields, Zozulin and Rakovic) podvisli with four folami.

In the fourth quarter suddenly shone Goran Suton, fun to play in protecting and over again score points in the attack. And the guests finally “had enough” hero of the match Mumbru, began mistakes. The action on the court, meanwhile, completely captivated the audience, forget about the late time, and, in general, everything in the world and selflessly supported commands. Perhaps the first time in the season, St. Petersburg’s public “lived” with the team on the floor, and helped them to attack and defend. And why this did not happen earlier, why the majority went to basketball games, as in the theater?

In the meantime, ended the match in Charleroi, where the correspondence competitor “Sparataka, Turkish PTT, scored a predictable victory, leaving the red-white of other chances to continue the struggle in the Eurocup, but victory over the” Bilbao “. And for the 1:55 to the end of the fourth quarter of accurate long-range throw James White is settling scores, 74:74! But the denouement was still far away …

At the last minute of normal time the match prolonged attack “Spartacus” with the tie (76:76) culminated in the passage under the adventurous shield Fields and his inaccurate throw, but the ball is his hands Sutona! But … The judges deemed the actions of Goran violation of the rules, Javi Garcia from the line twice accurate – 76:78 and the red-white is still time to turn back. For 5 seconds before the siren Fields again takes responsibility for themselves, attacking from behind the arc – by! And suddenly the judges “receive their sight,” uglyadev foul by defender of the Spanish club at the Fields! Three penalties, which could bring a victory or defeat. Fields smears first penalty, depriving partners a chance to win in regular time, but, fortunately, the remaining pockets throws. 78:78, overtime.

In a further pyatiminutke “Spartacus” even stepped forward to 2:45 before the final siren (82:80), and seemed even a little quiver, and the Spaniards. But they did not flinch … For 19 seconds before the final siren, after two exact penalty in execution Fields “Spartacus” again comes forward, 88:87. It is a time-out coach of the Spaniards, putting the ball out of the side – and he inexplicably turns into the hands of the hero game Mumbru, between which a ring and no one! Whyte had no choice, as hard folit, with the cunning Spaniard depicts ecumenical meal and leaves the ground, showing that he suffered an injury and can not perform fine. Seibutis released at a critical moment of the game cool – 88:89. And the moment of truth for the red-white – a time-out “minus one” and nine and a half seconds on the attack. Once again, a feeling of deja-vu, “somewhere I saw it … again Fields with the ball in his hands, wondering once again its partners around the adventure pass, slip and defeat. In the umpteenth time …

“Once again, Fields with the ball in his hands, wondering once again its partners around the adventure pass, slip and defeat. In the umpteenth time …”

Thus ended a frosty January night this basketball thriller. Alas, unlike the majority of feature films, he ended a happy endom …

January 12, 2010 Basketball, men. European Cup. Group tournament, a group of E. 6 round.

Spartak (St. Petersburg, Russia) – “Basket Bilbao” (Bilbao, Spain) 88:89 (18:21, 16:20, 21:18, 23:19, 10:11)

-C: Fields (19), Mescheryakov (16 + 6 + rebounds, 6 assists), Rakovic (14), Suton (11), White (11), Pashutin (6), Kolesnikov (6), Zozulin (3), Grandfather (2);
-BB: Mumbru (26), Blums (14), Warren (13 + 6 rebounds), Guarda (12), Banič (8), Markota (8), Seibutis (6), Rodriguez (2).

The new calendar year, CSKA Moscow started with the same problems that were present in the first part of the season. After the failure in the third quarter of the match with the Olympia because of brute force fouls from the leading players, the problems on the shield, sloppy losses and unbalanced attacks wards Eugene Pashutina showed character and still snatched victory from outsider groups in overtime (80:77) being able to play for the last four minutes of normal time lag of 11 points.

Beginning of the year brought CSKA news that Ramunas Siskauskas will be forced to miss at least a week. But the loss of a leader and a decrease in the already minimized rotation commands have not seen quite so dramatic, if they were not accompanied by a two-week Christmas break, vybivshy, according to Yevgeny Pashutin, his players from playing rhythm. Last match (with St. Petersburg’s “Spartacus”), CSKA Moscow, in fact, spent the past decade – as much 22 December, and yet, even given the fact that its floor Slovenian club looks toothed usual, all the preconditions did not inspire quite so strong fears . Visiting pacified Ljubljana, environmental reviews dimensional way of life, classical architecture, which combined medieval monuments, ensembles of the 19 th century and contemporary style, and not typical of a large city in harmony with nature, emphasized by hanging silhouettes of mountains in the distance, was supposed to be quite uneventful, but , as often happens with new CSKA, resulted in an incredible adventure and a chain of events heroic poshiba.

The first half, however, nothing of the sort foreshadowed. They began the red-blue is very confident and reliable: Viktor Khryapa managed everywhere, being the most productive of the guests with 6 points, and giving timely transfer partners, and collecting rebounds on both boards, in addition, to looking like breakwater, decomposing shy attack Slovenes; released instead Siskauskas Vorontsevich tried to keep up with the senior fellow and did not hesitate to throw because of the arc; Planinic skillfully used the dimensions of the attack, forcing Zdovtsa think about the meaning of the acquisition of Curtis Milladzha (former Krasnoyarsk held at the site 3 and a half minutes) and Sasha Kaun cool defended himself and entertain the audience “dankaunami. In general, when asked Zdovts timeout for 3 minutes before the end of the first quarter when the score was 7:17, it seemed that some exhortations Slovenian specialist is needed. But at the same time at the army went to rest and Kaun with 2 folami and Planinic (which has dimensions interfered in his own half) with 3, and tested the first third of the season “zone” began to form propleshiny: Golubovic tried under the ring and won the right to punitive Outlined fast perepas ball with a spread of military orders resulted in a couple of trehochkovyh from Djordjevic and Walsh, who almost equaled the score one minute before the end of the quarter (15:18).
Before the break opponents are desperately trying to feel the impact of tools on each other, but both sides have turned out badly. Pashutin dropped to the Courtney Sims, and the first test of a newcomer left an ambivalent impression: American immediately allowed a run, often do not keep up with opponents and broke the rules, but withdrew the army “bench” to zero, note not devoid of grace polukryukom and hit the top. The emergence of Sasha Kauna and the game inside it recorded another break CSKA Moscow (26:19), but after the center-received third point, organized game in the attack broke at the output of Dmitry Sokolov. Three consecutive wrong decisions in the attack, compounded by five points the hosts, and Pashutin again aware that the center-it has only one, and without it the game did not catch on. Another dunk Kauna after elegant perepasa Langdon and Khryapa with Holden’s penalty ensured CSKA slight advantage before the big break (32:28).

What this difference was such a relaxing, is hard to tell, but the third turned ten the unprecedented disaster. Losses Kopian the second quarter exceeded the Edge of Reason, reaching up to 16: it seemed that the army played an unassembled, allowing errors almost on level ground. Excelled all a little, but six losses at Holden (although, in fairness, it should be noted that not all of them on his conscience) look more colorful. With the fourth foul Kauna and the third in Khryapov advantage on the boards passed to the owners. Those did not improve the percentage, but were entitled to a larger number of attempts. Finally, harmony, concentration and confidence that distinguished attack CSKA in the first quarter gave way to confusion, downtrodden and dissonance: army slipped into individual actions, accented style lost due to loss of the addressee in the “paint” lost opportunities to pass, utykayas in correctly spaced Zdovtsom barricades, and even when the guests managed to play the ball and show partners under the dash, a shell into the ring did not want to climb hard. The result is that 6 points in a quarter (the worst result for CSKA Moscow in the decade), against which 21 of the Olympia, tore the protective order and long-range hitting and fast counterattacks, and successfully taking advantage of changeable looked stout slap in the face.

The denouement, which is best characterized Zdovtsa words “we are simply afraid to win”, came four minutes before the end of the fourth quarter. Having brought the gap to the maximum (62:51) after the regular loss of Jay Ara, Slovenes shy. Abandoned on the site Pashutin leaders gave their last forces (before fifths observations), but still gripped rivals vise tight pressure on their half. More players “Olympia” in most of the time he was beaten, managed to even catch up with the guests in the number of losses (to 19). Pashutin also learned how predictable dividends from the backbone pieces (Holden, Langdon and Khryapa turn began to take the initiative), and unexpected, enlisting the help of Victor Keyru, who became one of the most significant of the decisive moment by taking care of Matt Walsh. Far from entering Trajan signaled parity (62:62) and the need for overtime.
In extra time in addition to CSKA Planinic and Kauno lost more and Khryapa, but it did not intend to lose the victory, for which struggled for so long. Lightweight composition (Holden, Keyru, Langdon, Kurbanov, Vorontsevich) did not become an obstacle to: Kurbanov not too clearly looked ahead but selflessly defended and fought for the selection, Holden and Langdon, catching game, continued to pour out of the ring arcs and Keyru not only struggling clung to Walsh, but also put the crucial “three” for 40 seconds before the end – 75:71. Bavchich even answered the same, but the Slovenes did not have the remaining 21 seconds: the tactics of fouls in the presence of Holden, Langdon and amused himself during the penetration of auto-training Victor Keyru was doomed to failure.

Next week in Moscow, the army team will battle with the “Caja Laboral” for first place in the group. Basketball “Olympia” as can console ourselves with the fact that the move from unlucky for them in a larger arena. But it will happen as early as next season.
Olimpija – CSKA – 77:80 OT (15:18, 13:14, 21:6, 13:24, 15:18)

OLYMPIA: Bechirovich (13), Vidmar (10 + 7 rebounds), Ozbolt (10), Slokar (4), Milladzh (0) – start; Walsh (18 + 7 rebounds), Bavchich (7), Klobuchar, Vsevolod (both – 6), Djordjevic (3), Aleksandrov (0).

CSKA: Langdon (20 + 8 rebounds), Khryapa (14 + 14 + rebounds, 3 steals), Kaun (7), Planinic (5), Vorontsevich (5) – start; Holden (17), Keyru, Sims (both – 6 ), Kurbanov, Ponkrashov, Sokolov (all – 0).

Head coach basketball CSKA talks about his club, about how players will celebrate the New Year, and whether they have training scheduled for January 1, when the whole country slept on the festive table, tell about what he learned as the chief coach and that remember him most in the outgoing year. Well, of course, will reveal some of their professional secrets

On New Year holiday and the activities of January 1, 2010 year

Yesterday, the players and coaches returned from a short vacation, but today’s first training session. The team worked with a trainer for physical training Gosha Artemiev, warming up, getting ready for serious work. After five days of leave such a great need for a smooth return of the body in the working mode: training ligament, reconstruction Conditions. To this we will spend two practice sessions today, and one session tomorrow.

“New Year’s – a family holiday, will gather the whole family, we put presents under the tree, look at New Year’s program”

December 31, scheduled traditional friendly game with the employees of the office team CSKA, which will help raise the overall mood. But the first of January we decided to give the team a day off. Even if the players will be celebrating the holiday at home with his family, then go to bed late. And we would like them to receive the maximum emotional impact, and returned to work rested and rested.

How will he respond Eugene New Year

New Year’s – a family holiday, will gather the whole family, we put presents under the tree, look at New Year’s television program. At 12 o’clock, go out into the street, at the salute. That is, we will celebrate traditionally. I think the New Year – is one of the most emotional celebrations. It is celebrated all people on the planet, regardless of nationality, religion.

This romantic holiday, this time all dream of that future was at least no worse than last year. I think this is a must. We can not always be in any extreme mode in the work. The psyche can not withstand such a load, and holidays – it’s a good chance to relax and recharge. It’s just like in sports: there are loads, there is reconstruction, without which there can be serious results.

On the most important event in 2009 year

If you take the things that happened on the court, it is probably the victory at Vitoria, and over FC Khimki and Maccabi in Moscow. It is important that we believed in ourselves, even with that insecurity, that was the beginning of the season. We had a crumpled preseason preparation, had problems with injuries, and in general we have built a new team. Our beginners all known for their appearances at other clubs. But here, in CSKA, they were offered other roles that have to get used to. Had to work with our superstars Holden, Langdon, Khryapa, Siskauskas, Zoran Planinic. Thus in our composition was quite young, which also needed a chance to go to the site.

“In the first two months was not easy, we were looking for balance, to cast”

In the first two months was not easy, we were looking for balance, assign roles. All our players – bright personality with the characters, but all the same in any, even the most stellar team is the division’s leaders, middle managers and young people. But at the end of the year we achieved a balance by which the team started playing quite well. This would not have happened without the dedication and impact players, they are one hundred percent emotional Lying game, support each other. There is no euphoria, because this stage – the interim. We have created a foundation, now it’s time to build a building: a team which will add from match to match.

On his communication with players of CSKA

I have no problems in communicating with any team leader or with young players. Experienced players, when they see the error of youth, and ourselves something to suggest. Sometimes this happens even at an intuitive level. If a young mistake once – this is normal, if more, it violates the balance of the team. And the leaders explain it by example.

“Players do not understand if I begin to communicate with them in a raised voice”

We are discussing the nuances of all the players, without exception. Simple forms of expression are not the same as the previous coaches. I am a young coach, just starting their careers. Naturally, the players perceive me differently, compared with Ettore Messina and Dusan Ivkovic. I understand that there must be strict, but at the same time, and rationality.

Players do not understand if I begin to communicate with them in a raised voice.

What is learned in CSKA

He learned to keep the strike. Between the status of assistant coach and head coach actually a big difference. CSKA Moscow – a great club, the regalia, these victories give a sense of responsibility, pride, but at the same time, there is not a second of relaxation. CSKA can not fall below a certain strips, and this level must be kept each day, every second of every game session. Coach rises to the level above, if he learns to live every moment under such a burden of responsibility.

After each match to be sure that you have done everything for victory. Of course there are mistakes, but at any time you work and improve your. Being in CSKA, it is impossible to stand still, you need to add all the time, to develop. I want to not only win, but do it beautifully. What, of course, does not always work. Because competitors come one stronger than the other, and sometimes it happens in one week.

The reasons for selection as the rest of Austria

I had to escape, break away from the computer, to stay in a calm, stay in the family recover. When you are in Moscow, not get distracted from the news, reset the nervous tension. Move away from basketball is impossible, I tell them I live 24 hours a day. But this relaxation is a must to see the team as a whole. To understand what has been done for several months, which was good that must be corrected. Analyze the situation is not private, and overall.

New year – perhaps the most “popular” celebration in our country, and he is good by the fact that Christmas and New Year holidays last for up to two weeks. Eternal question – where to celebrate New Year and to hold an unscheduled vacation? Our answer is: of course on a cruise!

New Year’s River Cruise – is not only a great opportunity to not only have a great time, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of a cruise travel, but also a chance to touch the culture of other countries: it almost every day, your river boat – the hotel will make a stop in the new town, and sometimes in new country.

“What good is it christmas cruises?” – You ask. The fact that each of these cruises for guests organized a special entertainment program, and you can celebrate the New Year as is customary in Europe. Is not it a great alternative to the rather overexposed home feast and not less commonplace rest in suburban boarding

Approximation of the New Year – is not just the eve of the new 12 months. Everything is much more complicated: it is the gates that lead to a new, incomparable with anything comparable to a life full of those same miracles, in which we no longer believe. But in the New Year may all, is not it? No wonder folk wisdom says that as you will meet him and spend.
New Year – this is a very old tradition. For the first time began to celebrate it even in distant Mesopotamia. However, most in the modern look of this holiday have influenced the Chinese. They are, for example, introduced the tradition of exploding firecrackers at New Year night. Those Soviet mandarins also from them. In Chinese “couple Mandarin consonant with the word” gold “. Table with tangerines – rich table. And, of course, China has given us their calendar, which represents the year in the form of 12 animals. So, according to Chinese belief, New Year 2010 – a New Year of the Tiger. Tiger is always going forward, hipster, hierarchy and conservatism of the mind. Tiger – a sign of unusual and unexpected situations and exceptional destiny. In any case, the year of the yellow metal of the Tigris – the year of outstanding personalities and battle the strongest of human ambition, the year of accomplishments and trials of strength throughout life. Clothing should also be to taste the new owner. It is highly recommended to have something striped. For clothing fit ornaments from natural materials: leather, fur, cotton and other Zagotovte tiger New Year’s greetings. But gifts for New Year of the Tiger – is your personal flight of fancy. The main thing that was pleasant. If you have this night christmas tree get striped, it is considered that the role of luck in 2010 have simply brushed aside. In the same case, if and Santa Claus in this day replace the traditional dress for something so cheerful in a black and orange stripes – do not be surprised. The night of miracles, as did …
