Expansion of Moscow proper to be completed in 5 yearshttp://en.rian.ru/russia/20110721/165310126.html 11:44 21/07/2011 MOSCOW, July 21 (RIA Novosti)A project to expand the borders of the Russian capital proposed by the country's president last month may be completed within a five-year term, Russia's Izvestia daily said on Thursday. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested earlier this year to expand Moscow at the expense of Moscow Region's territories to create a capital federal district and to transfer a significant part of government bodies beyond the existing boundaries of the city. "According to regulations of Moscow's authorities, the transitional period of annexing definite municipal territories must be no less than three years and no more than five years," the daily quoted a document pending consideration with Moscow officials. Under the project, the territory of the Russian capital may be enlarged by 720 hectares (1,779 acres) mostly expanding in the southwest into the current Moscow Region, annexing new territories between the Kievskoe and Varshavskoe highways. More than half of Muscovites support the idea of creating a new federal district and moving government agencies outside downtown Moscow, a survey by the All-Russia Public Opinion Center said. 06:44 21/07/2011ALL NEWS
http://www.itar-tass.com/en/c154/189582.html 21/7 Tass A-2 MOSCOW, July 21 (Itar-Tass) - The Moscow employment department will provide Muscovites with information on vacancies in electronic form as of August 1, 2011, the agency’s head, Oleg Neterebsky, told journalists. He believes that this new form of work will cut the time for selecting the right vacancy and will make job searching more convenient for the Muscovites. The Moscow Department of Employment will provide e-services to Muscovites who search employment and to employers who want to hire employees. Neterebsky said that a federal program designed to decrease tensions in the labor market had been under way in Moscow for the third year running. This year it covers employees of enterprises that undergo reorganization and modernization. More than 172 million rubles have been allocated for training employees who face dismissal and assisting invalids and parents with many children to find an employment. The city authorities will also help law enforcers who have failed to reconfirm their posts to find a new job. Neterebsky described the situation in Moscow’s labor market as stable. The number of unemployed in the end of June accounted for 45,800 people or about 0.74 percent of Moscow’s economically active population. In the meantime, Moscow’s database on vacancies has 145,000 job offers. The Moscow Employment Service has helped more than 126,000 people to find employment since the beginning of the year.
Krasnodar Court of Russia has decided to extradite to Ukraine a member of Luhansk City Council, Roman Landyk, who is charged with beating a young woman, Interfax-Ukraine learned at Luhansk police. Head of the public relations center of the Main Department of the Interior Ministry in Luhansk region Tetiana Pohukay confirmed this information.

As reported, the prosecutor's office of Luhansk region opened a criminal case against member of Luhansk City Council Roman Landyk on charges of disorderly conduct (Part 3 of Article 296) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on July 7.

VLADIVOSTOK, July 21 (RIA Novosti)A court in the Far Eastern Russian city of Khabarovsk has given three police officers long prison terms for abuse of office, a Khabarovsk Territory Court spokesman said on Thursday. According to court materials, in June 2010 the police officers brought a detainee to a police station in Khabarovsk and told him to confess to unsolved crimes. When the man refused to do so, they severely beat him. One of the policemen was sentenced to 10 years in a high-security prison, and the two others to nine years each. They will also have to pay the man they injured 300,000 rubles ($10,660) each in moral damages. It was not immediately clear whether the officers planned to appeal the verdict. Jailed Former Russian Oil Tycoon Allowed To See Motherhttp://www.rferl.org/content/khodorkovsky_allowed_to_see_mother/24271809.html July 20, 2011 MOSCOW -- Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the jailed former head of Russia's Yukos oil company, was allowed to see his mother for the first time since December, RFE/RL's Russian Service reports. Marina Khodorkovskaya told RFE/RL that she visited her son in the Segezha labor camp in Russia's northwestern republic of Karelia. Khodorkovsky was transferred there from a detention center in Moscow on June 10. Khodorkovskaya told RFE/RL she talked to her son for four hours by phone and was able to see him through a glass partition. She said Khodorkovsky looked well and was sun-tanned, but had lost weight. "It was the first time in several years that I was able to see him more or less thoroughly in the light as the room was very light," she said. Khodorkovskaya added that her son shared a room with about 15 other prisoners. He works in a larger group of 180 people in a workshop producing plastic materials. Khodorkovsky was found guilty in December 2010 of stealing billions of dollars in oil from his own company, Yukos, and of laundering the profits. That second conviction -- following an earlier one for tax evasion -- means he is due to remain in jail until 2017. Khodorkovsky had the legal right to see his relatives and talk to them by phone through the glass wall for four hours after being transferred to the labor camp from the detention center. He will be allowed a three-day visit with relatives in August.
