Ex spills the beans on a Russian federal Duma candidate
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The candidate for the State Duma from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, director of CJSC "State Farm named after Lenin" Pavel Grudinin will be excluded from the party list for the upcoming elections to the State Duma.

As reported by TASS with reference to the draft resolution of the Central Election Commission of Russia, the fact is that the candidate did not provide a number of documents after the statement of his ex-wife about the existence of offshore assets.

"The commission initially did not have data on Grudinin’s foreign assets and trusted the candidate, since there was no information preventing his registration," explained Nikolai Bulaev, deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation .

The fact that candidate Pavel Grudinin still has assets in Belize was confirmed by the Russian prosecutor's office. This circumstance is contrary to the laws on elections.

As reported by IA REGNUM , the fact that the general director of CJSC "Sovkhoz named after Lenin" Pavel Grudinin before the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation continues to own shares of the Belize offshore "Bontro LTD", lawyer Dmitry Malbin said .

The ex-wife of Pavel Grudinin, Irina, sent a letter to the CEC.
Hate to think of all the shit my ex wives could say.
Background

Azerbaijani soldier killed, three Armenians injured in resurgent clashes
[SHAFAQ] An Azerbaijani soldier was killed, and three Armenian soldiers were maimed on Friday in the most recent clash between the two countries since their bloody conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh last year. Both Baku and Yerevan reported, in recent months, shooting incidents along their borders, raising fear of a renewed territorial dispute between them.

"On July 23 (Friday), at approximately 16:00 (1200 GMT), Armenian armed forces shot up Azerbaijani army positions at the Kelbajar sector of the Armenian-Azerbaijani state border," Baku's defense ministry said in a statement, adding "an Azerbaijani army serviceman was killed by the enemy's sniper."

Armenia blamed Azerbaijan for the incident, stating that "three Armenian servicemen got maimed in the intense shootout."

Baku's President Aliyev told the AzTV network on Thursday: "This is our ancestors' land, we are on our land," referring to the territory that Yerevan considers part of its Syunik district.

Stavropol Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Department dies in shooting
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

My best guess: This was a Chechen organized crime hit, a preventative measure against further investigations against drug trafficking. Chechnya is responsible for most of the methamphetamine that goes to Russia. Prolly a fair amount of ganja, as well.

Rantburg had an opinion piece last Wednesday from Russian military journalist Aleksandr Kots about the corruption bust of the head traffic cop in the Stavropol krai. You can read about it here

[REGNUM] Friday evening in Stavropol, near house No. 55/4 on the Southern bypass, the deputy head of the CID of the police department No. 4, Ruslan Abovyan was shot to death.

According to the telegram channel "112", the killer fired almost the entire clip at the policeman then left the scene.

Alerts were initiated, but the armed suspect escaped capture. The offender left the car near the village of Kursavka and disappeared on foot. Dog handlers with dogs were sent on his trail.

Ruslan Abovyan died while receiving medical treatment.

The shooter was identified as Zaurbek Keniev, 44.

Investigators said the shooting was recorded by CCTV cameras.

Armed drug suspect exchanged gunfire with cops in Leningrad region

[REGNUM] A resident of the city of Volkhov, Leningrad Region, suspected of drug trafficking, opened fire on police officers who came to his home on Saturday, July 24, according to the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Investigators of the drug control department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia received operational information about the illegal production of synthetic drugs in the village of Balandino, Volkhovsky District, Leningrad Region.

"Operational information has been confirmed. The drug laboratory was located in a barn on a garden plot," the department said.

Early in the morning of July 24, the police drove to the indicated address, but met with resistance. An unidentified armed male suspect, who is a resident of the Krasnogvardeisky district of St. Petersburg, upon seeing the police officers, ran out of the barn and disappeared into a residential building.

"The malefactor, armed with a sawed-off hunting rifle, opened fire at the policemen. One of the officers used a service weapon and wounded the suspect, hitting him in his leg," the department said.

The suspect was given first aid on the spot, after which he was handed over to doctors. Then law enforcement agencies proceeded to search the house, where they found several firearms.

"There were also two women in the house. Their involvement in illegal production is currently being established. In the shed, police officers found laboratory equipment and chemical raw materials for the production of drugs," added the St. Petersburg Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
