Ostracism in Ancient Greece was aimed at banning citizens deemed dangerous for various reasons for a certain period of time, and in turn everything had to be redone.

We can all read in the resolution that the success... 21/01/2019 | 18:00:50 I would first remind the Chamber that Chechnya is part of the Russian Federation. In Chechnya a climate of fear has been created against many parts of society, including women. The news has shown us that there are no limits to the horror.
