In Belgorod, servicemen from Dagestan killed two ambulance workers in a traffic accident
On the night of February 7, on Slavy Avenue in Belgorod, three servicemen from Dagestan in a BMW X7 drove through a red light at high speed and crashed into an ambulance. Two paramedics - Olga Lyubimova and Marina Parovyshnik - died on the spot.
 
Preliminary, the driver was drunk at the time of the accident. The local publication "Ash" found out that 31-year-old serviceman Isa Abdurashidov was driving. His passengers were 28-year-old Murad Musayev and 28-year-old Ramazan Gadzhimuradov. Belgorod residents created a spontaneous memorial and are laying flowers at it.
 
In social networks in 2024, Murad Musayev and Ramazan Gadzhimuradov were described as "dear marines." That's what their taekwondo trainer Oleg Semenets called them. He expressed pride in their service, emphasizing that, despite all the difficulties, they "remain true to their oath and glorify Russia and their ancestors."

The 2026 World Press Freedom Index, published this morning by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), records the worst deterioration in global media freedom in 25 years. More than half of the world's countries rank the situation as "challenging" or "very challenging," and the average index level has never been lower. A key trend is increasing legal pressure on the media: of the five indicators used to assess press freedom worldwide (economy, law, security, politics, culture, and society), the "law" indicator showed the most significant decline.
