The mysterious catastrophe that occurred in June 1908 in the area of Podkamennaya Tunguska is explained by scientists as the fall of a large comet meteorite that exploded 5-10 km above the ground. This version has a number of inconsistencies, as a result of which there were assumptions about the volcanic, man-made and other causes of the grand explosion, which seismic instruments recorded even in the Western hemisphere. The forest around the epicenter of the explosion burned out within a radius of 2,000 km. If the disaster had happened only 4 hours earlier, it would have completely burned Vyborg and significantly damaged St. Petersburg. The expeditions that worked in those places draw a variety of conclusions.
The documentary film by Oleg Aliyev and Elena von Sternbert “GEO: the mystery of the Tunguska meteorite” is an exciting story about the research into the causes of the Tunguska explosion. close

However, the blogger’s courtesy ended there. Further, numerous criticisms of the United Russia party were expressed, giving various examples, from a screenshot from the official document with data on the deputy’s property, which listed five apartments, a residential building and a Mercedes car, to the results of a survey conducted in his blog, which was attended by about 40,000 users. The topic of the poll concerned Navalnov’s criticism of the ruling party, and about 96.5% of voters agreed with his opinion.
In turn, Fedorov countered the arguments of the opponent with his own, in which he accused the blogger community that they all work in the interests of the American government and on the money of this government, and their main goal is to destabilize the situation in the country and disrupt the reforms and the correct course that United Russia is leading the country.
