Moscow (CNN)The thousands of Russians who took to the streets over the weekend may not have vented their fury directly at Vladimir Putin, but the President certainly took note of the message.
After the largest mass demonstrations in years, when crowds across the country took part in anti-corruption rallies, the Interior Ministry has warned that it will use the full extent of its powers to confront any future unauthorized gatherings.
Opposition supporters take part in the anti-corruption rally in central Moscow.
But the warning has not impressed or deterred a younger generation of protesters who are fed up with rampant nepotism, exasperated by the lack of accountability, and stifled by the lack of opportunities on offer in Russia today.
Their grievances are directed less at Putin himself than at a system that has institutionalized graft and accelerated inequality. In some ways they are reminiscent of the frustration of younger, educated Arabs in Cairo and Tunis in 2011, but it is unclear if Russia's anti-corruption movement can effect real change.
Riot police officers detain a protester during the rally in Moscow.
In Moscow, where the largest of dozens of protests took place, at least 500 people were detained -- carried and frog-marched into police vehicles. The authorities had warned that the rally, called by opposition leader Alexey Navalny, was against the law.
A young geologist called Sergey Pravov was among those arrested. "We started singing the national anthem," he told CNN. He added with a smile: "We just got to the 'free country' part, when we were taken by the police and thrown into the bus."
He told CNN that young people had taken part because they "are tired of the impunity of officials and their children and relatives who can get away with anything. "
"They are tired of living below the poverty line while people they pay to rule wisely are swimming in gold," Pravov says.

Czy jest lepsze wyjście?
Rozwiązanie problemu niesprawiedliwości, korupcji i ucisku można znaleźć w Biblii. Opisuje ona ustanowiony przez Boga niebiański rząd, który zastąpi zawodne systemy polityczne i ekonomiczne, będące przyczyną wielu protestów. W proroctwie dotyczącym Władcy tego rządu czytamy: „Wyzwoli bowiem biednego wołającego o pomoc, a także uciśnionego i każdego, kto nie ma wspomożyciela. Z ucisku i gwałtu wykupi ich duszę, a ich krew będzie drogocenna w jego oczach” (

Ale czy idea, że rząd Boga wyeliminuje przyczyny niepokojów społecznych, nie jest zwykłą mrzonką? Mogłoby się tak wydawać. Jednak wiele osób nabrało przekonania, że rząd Boży naprawdę tego dokona. Czy nie chciałbyś przekonać się o tym osobiście?

And today here in England we have Crazy Saturday. 4th July and everything is opening up and people from upcountry are coning down south to spread the virus. Watch for the massive increase / spike within this month. Good olde Boris, but really what could he do ? The tourist industry wants customers and needs cash. Us local southerners in England have the luxury of sea and countryside. Everyone else wants a bit of it. But there will be sad results unfortunately. -

*** it-2 p. 7 Jehovah ***· 1 reply
The Codex Leningrad B 19A, of the 11th century C.E., vowel points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwahʹ, Yehwihʹ, and Yeho·wahʹ. Ginsburg’s edition of the Masoretic text vowel points the divine name to read Yeho·wahʹ. (Ge 3:14, ftn) Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation. They point out that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah (Jah in the Latinized form), as at Psalm 89:8 and in the expression Ha·lelu-Yahʹ (meaning “Praise Jah, you people!”). (Ps 104:35; 150:1, 6) Also, the forms Yehohʹ, Yoh, Yah, and Yaʹhu, found in the Hebrew spelling of the names Jehoshaphat, Joshaphat, Shephatiah, and others, can all be derived from Yahweh. Greek transliterations of the name by early Christian writers point in a somewhat similar direction with spellings such as I·a·beʹ and I·a·ou·eʹ, which, as pronounced in Greek, resemble Yahweh. Still, there is by no means unanimity among scholars on the subject, some favoring yet other pronunciations, such as “Yahuwa,” “Yahuah,” or “Yehuah.”
Since certainty of pronunciation is not now attainable, there seems to be no reason for abandoning in English the well-known form “Jehovah” in favor of some other suggested pronunciation. If such a change were made, then, to be consistent, changes should be made in the spelling and pronunciation of a host of other names found in the Scriptures: Jeremiah would be changed to Yir·meyahʹ, Isaiah would become Yeshaʽ·yaʹhu, and Jesus would be either Yehoh·shuʹaʽ (as in Hebrew) or I·e·sousʹ (as in Greek). The purpose of words is to transmit thoughts; in English the name Jehovah identifies the true God, transmitting this thought more satisfactorily today than any of the suggested substitutes.
