Marats Kasems wrote that among Leonīds Ragozins' supporters was Anatolijs Golubovs, who, according to him, led the Russian-language version of Delfi for 25 years, as well as Berezovska, Buzajevs, the so-called "good Russians," and Sputnik employees. Kasems noted that he had researched the list of Ragozin's fan group members and published the first part of the article; he promised the second part would come later. He categorized the people mentioned in the list into three groups: the so-called good Russians, Sputnik employees, and journalists from the Russian-language version of Delfi. Kasems wrote that some of them were offended by Latvia or felt that they had been treated unfairly, while others had publicly expressed hatred towards the country for years. He also mentioned comments from Mamikins and former deputy editor of the Russian-language version of Delfi, Kim Kosmachev, noting that neither had signed Ragozin's statement of support. Golubovs, according to Kasems, had signed. In the list, Kasems mentioned Lev Kadik, describing him as a leftist anarchist and a former newspaper employee, as well as a former commentator for the Russian-language version of Delfi. He indicated Iļja Kozin as a former employee of Latvian public media. Regarding Mitrofan Slobodjans, Kasems wrote that he had been a member of the Harmony Center party and, according to KNAB data, had donated money to the party. He also claimed that Slobodjans, along with Antonina Nenaševa, had been an assistant to Saeima deputy Holostovs, and Holostov was evaluated very derogatorily. Kasems described Iļja Azars as a "good Russian" and claimed that in an interview, Azars had tried to convince him of Russian discrimination in Latvia. He also mentioned Delfi and LSM journalist Maria Kugela and Aleksandrs Giļmanis. Regarding Giļmanis, Kasems claimed that he had urged Latvian school students' parents to teach their children to fight against fascists, meaning Latvians. #Ragozins #vatņiki #sputnik #propaganda #delfi #Ragozins #propaganda #delfi (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka commented on Mirka Němcová's appearance on Czech television and wrote that her expression, in his opinion, conveyed suffering and resentment. He referred to her sitting for an hour opposite Robert Šlachta as an act of bravery. He attributed to him and his team a role in the fall of the Nečas government, the formation of Zeman's presidential government, and the subsequent rise of ANO and Andrej Babiš. He recalled that thirteen years ago, 400 members of Šlachta's command intervened at the government building and that the operation, according to him, concerned luxury handbags and surveillance connected to Jana Nagyová. Šarapatka assigned responsibility to Šlachta and his colleague from the VSZ for Miloš Zeman's refusal to accept 101 signatures of MPs from the then Speaker of the Chamber, Němcová, and to appoint a government according to the Constitution. He described Zeman's government as a composition of people from the environment of social democrats and their supporters. He also stated that the state, in his opinion, subsequently faced problems with Babiš, whom he accused of embezzling public property. He labeled Šlachta as a former policeman and ally of Zeman and Babiš who became a politician. He estimated that he could switch to Václav Láska, who, according to him, hinted at new members of his senatorial club on television the day before. According to Šarapatka, Němcová's departure from high politics was not a reason for her tenure in the Senate and earlier in the Chamber to end in the way she demonstrated on Czech Television. In conclusion, he thanked her for her public service. #respekt (translated)

Marats Kasems criticized the Progressive Party's actions regarding the scandal involving former Riga City Council deputy Mārtiņš Eņģelis. He claimed that the party leadership did not immediately go to the police after reports of the sexual exploitation of a minor girl, citing the girl's request to remain silent about the incident. Kasems suggested that the decision may have been influenced by the upcoming elections, which, according to him, were expected in a few days. Kasems pointed out that before the scandal, the party's public stance on Eņģelis was related to workplace burnout. He also accused the public media LSM of allegedly defending the party and presenting sexual offenses as a tool for political struggle. Kasems wrote that he took this case personally, as he had been an orphan since the age of 11 after his mother's death and had sought help from the municipality. He expressed hope that the law enforcement agencies would continue to review the case. #Progresīvie #bārene #LSM #RīgasDome #StambulasKonvencija #Progresīvie #bārene #RīgasDome (translated)

Aija Kaija wrote that after treatment at the Oncology Center, she was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday, although it was initially planned for Tuesday. According to her, the doctors wanted to perform a lung CT scan. Kaija emphasized that the medical staff at the Riga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) had been careful and professional in her experience. She noted that she received her last brachytherapy procedure on Tuesday, and this time it was easier, thanks to a different anesthesiologist and the removal of instruments by her treating doctor. Kaija advised patients to discuss the use of sedatives and painkillers with their doctors. She also expressed concern for elderly Silvija, who, as Kaija wrote, could not use either chemotherapy or anesthesia during brachytherapy due to heart failure. Kaija also mentioned a woman over 70 years old with stage 4 cervical cancer and a second recurrence. Kaija wrote that her doctors Māra and Zane were satisfied with the treatment results. Zane, according to Kaija, noted that in her experience, patients with similar indicators had recurrence of cancer in less than 10% of cases within a few years. However, whether the cancer has completely disappeared, Kaija wrote, she would find out in three months. She warned that, in her opinion, a break in chemotherapy significantly increases the risk of recurrence and that treatment should be carried out according to the plan. Kaija shared that her friend Sabīne has to stay longer in the hospital during treatment and has settled in Kaija's private room. Kaija noted that the cost per day has increased from 25 to 33 euros. She wrote that Sabīne would not be able to go home on weekends because getting sick during the virus season could interfere with treatment. Regarding her own well-being, Kaija wrote that she feels a pronounced fatigue and lack of energy after therapy, also experiencing menopausal symptoms at the age of 42. She expressed sadness over the fact that she will no longer be able to have children and said she would soon share news about the tests that will show whether the cancer has been overcome. #onkoloģija #veselība #dzīve (translated)
