To see clear, informative, and not just catchy headlines in a newspaper and instantly determine which material should be read first, which should be read over a cup of coffee, and which should be given to a friend to watch - this is the dream of any reader.

N 49). " The EBRD has admitted that it has ruined Russia." We are talking about the report of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for 10 years (Novaya Gazeta. 1999. December 20-26). "The Ministry of Finance paid off the CSFB". Under this heading is an article about Credit Suisse First
