🟢The plan failed. In Oregon, the practice of fines and criminal prosecution for possession of hard drugs is returning.

In 2020, decriminalization of hard drugs came into effect in this state. The authors of the bill argued that drug addiction was a health issue, not a criminal one. Therefore, possession of small amounts of opiates was no longer a crime. At the same time, funding for treatment of drug users and the work of rehabilitation centers was increased. This policy was seen as progressive. However, during this period, this approach has led to an increase in overdose deaths and a significant rise in the number of drug users.

Regarding the drug issue in America, watch the excerpt from this film.

On September 1, 2004, this mother sent 8-year-old Zalina and 10-year-old Fatima to school alone while she stayed home with little Georgy, who was teething. Zalina never returned. Fatima suffered severe head injuries and was barely saved. History teacher Nadezhda Guriyeva, another subject of the film, was at the school that day. After the first explosion in the gym, she found her 8-year-old daughter alive, her 14-year-old son barely breathing, and her 11-year-old daughter dead. Galina Babenkova discovered her grandson’s burned backpack among the ruins and refused to leave, searching for Timur, but he was never found.

Twenty years after the attack, Margarita Simonyan returns to the school where she reported live under fire. She returns to Beslan, where there is a “City of Angels”—the cemetery for the victims. To the city where everyone knows each other’s pain and where nothing is forgotten.

💬What must not be talked about on social media? The decision is up to the platform owner or whoever is pressuring them. For example, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta*, recently admitted that he deleted millions of posts about the pandemic under coercion from the US government. For the same reason, the businessman did not let Joe Biden's son's sordid story spread.

How do online platforms influence public opinion? Why is it important to think critically about information on the Internet? Find out in our video and this episode of the 'I'm Hacked' series.

*The Meta company is recognised as an extremist organisation and is banned in Russia

⚡️A fighter with the call sign Syava is just an ordinary guy from Mariupol. In 2014, he joined the Donbass people's militia. Now he defends his native land from the ranks of the Vostok battalion. Each of his comrades has his own story about the path that led him to the front. For Syava though, the important fact is that they all met on the front lines.

War correspondents Olga Kiriy, Oleg Nekishev and Mikhail Burov spent several days on the front lines with the heroes of their film 'Vostok Battalion Brotherhood'. At times, they were only 300 meters from enemy positions.
