povratak korenima™

 

povratak korenima, tradicionalnoj ruskoj urbanoj/aristokratskoj modi s kraja 19. veka koja je uvezena iz Francuske iz drugih zapadnih zemalja, umesto moderne ruske mode koja je takodje uvezena iz zapadnih zemalja

 

tako jedanput meni neko blizak u razgovoru sa nekim Rusem iz nekog njihovog instituta/univerziteta rekao

 

- super su vam izdanja, zaista, ali zasto samo na ruskom izdajete? danas mora i na engleskom, inace vam je citalacka publika ogranicena

- necemo da izdajemo na engleskom, jer bi to bilo priznanje da je njihova (zapadna) civilizacija pobedila

- a cekaj, mozda ne videh dobro da ti zapravo ne nosis odelo i kravatu nego kozacku nosnju? aman covece njihova civilizacija je vec pobedila

Russian MPs are not the first to try to write LGBT people out of video games

Keza MacDonald

 

In 2013, Russia’s parliament unanimously passed a law forbidding “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations”, essentially making it illegal to distribute any material on gay relationships or gay rights via the internet or any other kind of media, or to hold gay pride marches or rallies.

 

The move led to an immediate rise in homophobic hate crime. So far, targets have included Ikea (for the crime of including gay couples in its catalogue), sports events run by LGBT-friendly organisations, and perhaps most famously, the Sochi Olympics.

 

This week, Russian MPs took aim at what might seem like an unlikely target: EA Sports’ Fifa 17, the latest entry in an annual series of football games that routinely sells over 20m copies year.

 

What’s so gay about Fifa, you might ask? There’s no mention of anything remotely approaching an LGBT issue in Fifa 17’s narrative mode. The issue is developer EA Sports’ support for Rainbow Laces, a Stonewall campaign tackling homophobia in football through challenging homophobic language and supporting LGBT fans and players in the sport.

 

For a limited time a few weeks ago, players could download rainbow uniforms for use in the game’s Ultimate Team mode, in which players build their fantasy teams. (I wouldn’t read the replies to EA’s tweet announcing this, unless you need to depress yourself.)

 

The demand perhaps reflects wider attitudes to sport in Russia. Sport in the country has very strong traditional gender roles: women’s football or ice hockey are relatively rare, for example. A couple of years ago, one of the country’s biggest football fan groups at Zenit St Petersburg published a manifesto pledging, among other racist and objectionable things, that they would never support a gay player at the club, although it never gained much actual traction in society.

 

Specifically, the Russian MPs in question want EA to either remove this “offensive” gay code, or face consequences involving either a higher age rating or restrictions on the game’s distribution in Russia. This could theoretically have financial consequences for EA, as the video games market has been booming in Russia in recent years and is now valued at more than $1bn, although it doesn’t represent one of Fifa’s biggest audiences.

 

This is the first time that the 2013 law has been invoked against a video game, but not the first time that games have fallen foul of Russian parliamentarians.

 

Previous calls to ban video games include Pokémon Go (over fears it was being used by the CIA to gather video footage of the inside of Russian government facilities), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (over the infamous “No Russian” mission [in which Russian terrorists indiscriminately murder civilians in a Moscow airport]), Company of Heroes 2 (for its less-than-heroic representation of Russian forces), and assorted shooter games, which have provoked panic over players shooting people in real life. So far none of these games has actually been banned, but publisher Activision voluntarily removed the “No Russian” level from copies of Modern Warfare 2 that went on sale in the country, as well as in Japan and Germany.

 

EA Sports has not responded yet to this demand. However, the publisher has a long and admirable history of visible support of LGBT employees and players – it has been named one of the best places to work for LGBT equality several years in a row – so although video game publishers regularly comply with special regional regulations in, say, Germany or Australia, where violence in games is more strictly regulated, it is highly unlikely that the company will comply. This is hardly the first time that someone has suggested that the presence of LGBT people be censored out of a video game: the only difference this time around is that it’s a government making the demand.

 

LGBT themes and characters have been appearing in video games since the 1980s, but until recently, both developers and publishers were rather shy about it. Nervousness about the potential reception of gay or non-gender-conforming characters in Japanese games led to fairly widespread censorship in America in the 1980s and 90s, affecting games as varied as Super Mario Bros 2, Streets of Rage 3 and Dragon Warrior II. As recently as 2008, when the Japanese RPG Persona 4 was released, localisation of Japanese games often downplayed the sexuality of queer characters, or made it deliberately ambiguous.

 

Recently, though, developers have been less tentative about including LGBT characters and themes, and they feature in games ranging from teensy indie projects to blockbusters. A great many role-playing games let you form romantic relationships with pretty much anyone you have the hots for, regardless of gender. The Sims has always included gay relationships, and actually included gay marriage before most real-world societies decided it was acceptable. Ellie, a main character in 2013’s the Last of Us, is gay. In 2014, Nintendo came under fire for not including the possibility of gay relationships in its cartoonish life-sim Tomodachi Life. We’re still some way off from the kind of diversity that players are increasingly demanding, but progress is happening quickly.

 

This has sparked a bit of a backlash, largely from the same people who bafflingly believe that the dreaded social justice warriors are ruining everything about pop culture by suggesting that perhaps women, LGBT people or people of colour should be included in it. They whine about “forced” LGBT representation in, say, Tom Clancy’s The Division, in which a character mentions her wife exactly once, or the fact that characters of the same gender sometimes hit on them in Dragon Age. It is odd that these people should demand ever more realistic video game graphics and technology, but that their representation of the actual people who make up society should remain stubbornly stuck in a mythical past where nobody was gay and women were only ever in the background.

 

Truth is, though, that neither disgruntled “consumers” nor Russian MPs are going to be able to turn the clock back on this. LGBT people are present in the real world, and in the real sport of football, so it is only natural that they feature in Fifa 17’s reflection of it. Calls for censorship – whether from socially conservative governments or reactionaries who seem inexplicably threatened by the presence of anyone who isn’t straight in pop culture – are not going to change that now.

dobra šema:

 

Otkritie initially received Rbs30bn from the central bank to absorb Trust. The bailout was the second-largest under the central bank’s financial rehabilitation programme, which gives banks cheap long-term loans to take over failing lenders rather than letting them go bankrupt.

A week later, things began to unravel. The central bank quadrupled the size of the Trust bailout to Rbs127bn, implying that as much as 40 per cent of the bank was underwater, then accused its management of stealing assets through a network of offshore companies. Otkritie is suing Trust’s former owners, who deny the allegations, in the UK to recover $830m in assets.

 

In the mid-2000s, years before the Trust saga, Otkritie realised that the central bank’s financial rehabilitation programme was a way to build its banking assets, people close to its management say. “They look at the balance sheet, find the hole, and tell the central bank it’s twice what it actually is. Then they get funding for 10 years and the [net present value] is twice what they’re repaying,” says one of the people.

Starting in 2009, Otkritie absorbed several banks through the programme, developing close relationships with officials at Russia’s central bank and deposit insurance agency.

 

...

 

Otkritie’s rise and Trust’s fall have raised questions about how far central bank chief Elvira Nabiullina’s crackdown on lax oversight in the sector will go. So far it has seen 300 banks close but last year, the regulator named 10 banks, including Otkritie, “systemically important,” a move that essentially amounted to a too-big-to-fail designation.

“Nabiullina had no idea how the banking sector works when she started,” the senior investor says. “She’s very honest and responsible but she gets bad advice.”

 

Ms Nabiullina is overhauling the financial rehabilitation system to allow the central bank to go into distressed banks’ equity directly. She acknowledges the previous scheme “was used to get cheap money from the central bank and to hide distressed assets in the bank up for rehabilitation, because those banks didn’t have to comply with all the standards,” she told the FT.

In October, she removed her deputies in charge of banking oversight.

Critics claim that Otkritie was not only given cheap state funding to do the trade but also made billions from it while creating risks for the central bank.

Агентство по страхованию вкладов (АСВ) подало в суд с требованием взыскать долг по кредиту, который Первый чешско-российский банк (ПЧРБ) выдал партии Марин Ле Пен «Национальный фронт». Как сообщили в АСВ агентству RNS, «до даты отзыва у банка лицензии на осуществление банковских операций права требования по кредитному договору французской партии "Национальный фронт" уступлены банком третьему лицу». Страховщики эту сделку оспаривают.

ПРЧБ выдал партии «Национальный фронт» кредит в €9 млн в конце ноября 2014 года. По заявлению казначея политической организации Валлерана Сен-Жюста, правые искали источник финансирования, однако получали отказы от банков Европы. Займ в ПЧРБ послужил причиной многочисленных обвинений Марин Ле Пен в зависимости от России, которые политик отвергала.

Лицензия Первого чешско-российского банка была отозвана 1 июля 2016 года. До этого момента ПЧРБ занимал 126-е место в банковской системе России. По оценке временной администрации, совокупная стоимость активов банка не превышает 4,1 млрд руб., а величина обязательств достигает 31,8 млрд руб.
