1. Only now is it becoming clear the scale of the defeat suffered by the Americans in Turkey. The American military base “Incirlik” is again locked, it was surrounded by 7 thousand Turkish troops with heavy machinery. The possibility that the Turks will ask the Americans to remove their troops from Turkey, now looks very real:

Moreover, President Erdogan moved yesterday by the Turkish army in his personal obedience, now he can command the Turkish military directly:
https://lenta.ru/news/2016/07/31/erdogan/
It enhances presidential power and complicates the attempts of Americans to visit Turkey for another Maidan.
By the way, is anyone still doubted that behind the riot in Turkey is Washington? If so, here you have visual proof, watch 40 seconds with a mark of 26:02:
As you can see, Mr. Kerry said in plain text that he hoped for “continuity” in Turkey — so that Pro-American fighters will take power from Erdogan.
And here’s another vivid illustration of the working methods of the Americans. Quoting Mr. McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia:

Direct financial support for the Democrats [in other countries] is problematic, because the cheque from the American Embassy can spot who’ll get it…
The next American President must provide such assistance in private hands and contribute to the emergence of new independent foundations. We must advocate for universal rights, Internet access and the free flow of information that is vital for independent media and civil society.
Very important is also the fact that Turkey officially accused in the coup attempt of the Americans:

Let me remind you, a week later, on August 9, the presidents of Russia and Turkey will meet in St. Petersburg. With impatience will wait for the outcome of this meeting.
2. The head of the Olympic Union of Germany criticized the Pro-American vada:
https://lenta.ru/news/2016/07/31/nok/
It is not surprising. Without a vivid demonstration of the intended method of opening the tubes all charges WADA are just plain political order — and, perhaps, it is clear that to quietly open the sample canister athletes at the moment are impossible:
http://ruxpert.ru/Допинговый_кризис
Inconsistencies in the report WADA, in General, very much. I quote, for example, the President of the International ice hockey Federation Rene Fasel:
https://lenta.ru/news/2016/07/25/fazelwada/
In the report WADA speaks of the three representatives of the shooting sports, whose doping samples allegedly disappeared. But this information is incorrect, as the identity of all three athletes were installed and it turned out that they were disqualified in accordance with all the rules. So not everything written in the report of McLaren, is based on real facts
However, it is unlikely the truth will come out before the Olympics. Most likely, the Pro-American slander of the WAD will be fully exposed only after the Olympic games in Brazil will end.
3. Old, but not lost relevance interview with our scout, in which he clearly explains why the us government still refer to Russia as to the subject of the destruction of the enemy:

Maybe Donald trump will finally be able to change the situation? Yesterday, Mr. trump said bluntly that Washington should recognize the reunification of the Crimea with Russia — as, first, it will improve relations between Russia and the United States, and secondly, because the choice of Crimean residents should be respected:

4. Russian expatriate talks about life in the United States. The impression from the story is very sad, prison, and even life-threatening:
https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/07/25/san_diego/
Once, in broad daylight I went to the police car, keeping the old bad habit your hand in the pocket of the jacket. Suddenly, almost like in a Hollywood action movie, jumped out of the car and a police officer shouting “freeze!” he pointed a gun at me. Knowing that I am a foreigner who just wanted to ask for directions, the guard relented. He explained to me his strange, from the Russian point of view, the behavior: there is a chance that man holding his hand in his pocket, maybe to grab the gun. COP honestly say that if I hadn’t stopped, he would have shot. The second puncture happened on my secondary check at customs. After I did not hear the requirement to remove a hand from a pocket, five people rushed to me, with the force pressed to the table and roughly searched.
…
Yes, of course, in USA there is no censorship in the Soviet sense of the word. But, as the Americans say, there’s softpower (soft power): the material is not written in the style of mainstream, just not published in any meaningful American media.
As a journalist I’ve pretty much collaborated with the American media and know the situation firsthand. Talk about those subjects in which he was engaged. For example, during the war in Yugoslavia it was impossible to write an article, at least partially justifying the actions of the Serbs. And in the current situation in Eastern Ukraine, of course, unconditional truth is on the side of the Ukrainians who oppose the “Russian occupation”.
5. Russians have 146,6 million people — another couple of years, and it will be 147 million:

Also the good news is the infant mortality rate fell to 6.1 per 1,000. Three years ago the figure was 8.3.
6. The French MP believes that in the spring of 2017 in the West can begin the discussion about the recognition of Russian Crimea region:
https://lenta.ru/news/2016/07/31/talks2017/
Earlier the MP said that if Crimea had not joined Russia in the spring of 2014, now there would be military action in the Donbas.
Also, the French sarcastically remarked that the authorities of the Crimea to effectively solve the problems of the Crimean Tatar population — a much more effective than solve the problems of the Russian Baltic States:

7. In order of import substitution, our engineers introduce at coal mines of Russia of devices that are 5 times cheaper and 30 times less than its foreign counterparts:

Devices control the pumps responsible for drainages in the mines. Earlier these devices were made with the use of Ukrainian components.
8. By the end of the year in St. Petersburg will begin trading futures on Urals crude oil:
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/421001
Currently, the price of Urals crude oil linked to Brent crude prices is extremely unprofitable for our budget.
After the price of crude oil will be determined in Russia, we have another step — the transfer of the oil trade into rubles. I believe in 2017 there is a chance to see it.
9. Regarding privatization, which causes so much discontent among the opposition. Let me remind you that in Russia constantly is not only privatization, but also nationalization — something goes into private hands, that, on the contrary, becomes a state.
For example, in 2015, was nationalized Sevastopol marine plant is a strategically important venture for Russia:

10. Russia dominates among the world suppliers of wheat — Americans for the first time in the last 50 years, were forced to yield to us the palm:

It is noteworthy that we now have no fertile Ukraine, for example, however, the situation with agriculture still an order of magnitude better than in the USSR.
