Garry Kasparov has withdrawn from presidency race because of the failure to find a venue for an initiative group meeting. Siberian Light is “a little disappointed that Kasparov used this as an excuse to withdraw”: “The real reason behind Kasparov’s decision to pull out of the race, I suspect, is that he had almost no chance of securing the 2 million signatures needed to endorse his candidacy - and failing in this effort would have been political suicide.”

An ongoing initiative (RUS) to compile a list of “those who died in the war of 2008, whose names are found on the web” - by LJ user hunu: “The list is incomplete, of course. […] I've placed the names of the dead on the same page - of civilians as well as of the armed participants of the war from all three sides. Some people may not like it, but I don't see any other way of doing it.”
