Let me remind you that almost seven years ago, Putin signed and promulgated a whole package of laws aimed at combating corruption. Among them was p.p. 8 p. 2 art. 235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which allows depriving an official of property if he himself does not prove the legality of possessing it.
It seemed that this measure would forever discourage the desire of officials to enrich themselves criminally, to become an accomplice in embezzlement of budget funds.
What is the point in criminal enrichment, if without establishing a method of criminal enrichment and proving guilt in any crime, an official is deprived not only of a well-paid position, receives public contempt, but is also deprived of all the property that he could not get even on his exorbitant salaries.
However, this rule has not received wide application - it was applied no more than 40 times.
In addition, even to those corrupt officials whose guilt in bribes was established by the court, p.p. 8 p. 2 art. 235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation was not applied. For example, to the former Minister of Economic Development, a member of the government, Ulyukaev.
A corrupt official can lose even legally earned property by imposing a fine on him in the amount of up to twenty times the amount of the bribe. But this does not happen in practice.
For example, a fine for Ulyukaev was imposed in the amount of a single bribe. Therefore, he demands to return to him the millions that were arrested.
In February 2017, Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea Oleg Kazurin was detained. He was charged with taking a bribe: from August to December 2016, he received 27 million rubles through an intermediary for facilitating the selection of one of the construction companies as the sole supplier when concluding a contract for the construction of residential buildings in Kerch. On June 22, 2018, the Kyiv District Court of Simferopol sentenced him to 11.5 years in prison and a fine of 56 million rubles.
Such a compassionate attitude towards the criminal property of officials allows other officials to hope that after serving their sentence they will be left with property that allows them to live a lordly life.
Here is a new report that Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea, Deputy Head of Crimea, former chairman of the Committee on Economic, Budgetary, Financial and Tax Policy Vitaly Nakhlupin was detained in Moscow
He is suspected of committing a crime under Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (taking a bribe).
Again, billions of dollars spent on proving the fact of a bribe, trial, keeping the accused in custody, etc. What for? If for the seventh year there is a way to prevent the official from using the property that he has acquired unlawfully?
In each region, not only operational services, but also citizens see this illegal property every day, they see every hour this lordly life of officials, obviously not on salaries. Therefore, to combat this phenomenon does not require the costs that are being spent today. We can safely reduce the operational and investigative services by 50%, and these are billions of budget funds that could be used for social needs.
The matter remains small. Get an answer from the guarantor of the Constitution, Vladimir Putin, to the question: “Why does he not require the wide application of paragraphs. 8 p. 2 art. 235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation?

Characteristics of the coffee table
Before you make a purchase, you need to decide on the design. She may be:
- Folding
- Stationary
A folding table is usually placed in a small kitchen. It takes up little space, in order for a small family to dine, its area is quite enough, and if guests arrive, it can be expanded.
The folding mechanism is:
- Sliding: part of the tabletop leans back, and the resulting large tabletop is shifted relative to the legs until it locks.
- Synchronous sliding (butterfly): it is necessary to pull one edge of the tabletop, it will open in the middle and part. After that, it remains to get an additional part from the underframe and place it in the resulting gap.
- Tilt-and-turn: the tabletop must be turned at a right angle and the top part raised, and then lowered to the base.
- Table-book: suitable for very small kitchens. In the assembled state, the dimensions of the table do not exceed the dimensions of a cabinet or a small chest of drawers; a table-book in the interior of the kitchen occupies a small space.
- Transforming table: when assembled, this design looks like a regular coffee table, and when disassembled, it looks like a full-fledged dining table.
There are two drawbacks to such structures: due to the presence of a mechanism, they are quite heavy, and besides, they have a joint line in the middle, which does not look very aesthetically pleasing. Stationary, that is, non-folding tables in the interior of the kitchen look much more attractive. However, their size is limited by the size of the kitchen, and cannot be changed if necessary.
Dining table in the interior of the kitchen: main dimensions
To correctly determine the size of the table, it is necessary to take into account how many people you want to seat at the same time - while everyone should be comfortable. Ergonomics says that each requires at least 70 cm of table top length. Therefore, if two people must sit on one side, the length of the table cannot be less than 140 cm. Otherwise, you will have to "crowd".
Three people can be seated at a square table with one side against the wall - if the side length is at least 70 cm. A convenient rectangular table should be at least 75 cm wide, and a round one should be 90 cm in diameter. For a small kitchen, the optimal dimensions of the countertop are 60-80 cm, in large kitchen-dining rooms - from 120 cm.
Material of the kitchen table in the interior of the kitchen
From what material the countertop will be made, the appearance of the table and how it will look in the interior depends. The material of the underframe also matters, but it affects strength more than appearance. On the market you can find models whose countertops are made of the following materials:
- MDF. This is the most budget option. The outer coating of the countertop can imitate natural materials. The table in the interior of the kitchen with an MDF worktop looks good, and has sufficient resistance to mechanical damage, as well as humidity, excluding joints with the edge. If water gets there, the chipboard that makes up the base can swell and deform. That is why such tables have a short service life.
- Wood. The traditional and most popular option. The tree withstands moisture, has an attractive appearance, and when coated with special compounds, it acquires dirt-repellent properties. The interior of the kitchen with a large table made of wood looks solid and expensive. Wooden furniture lasts a long time, although it requires careful treatment and periodic restoration.
- Stone (natural or artificial). The strongest and most durable material. A stone countertop can be of almost any shape, and in the case of using artificial stone, it can be of any color. This is a beautiful, damage-resistant material that does not absorb dirt. It is easy to wash, it does not form colonies of bacteria or fungi.
- Glass. Glass tables in the interior of the kitchen occupy a special place. They look very elegant and can decorate any kitchen. In a large kitchen-dining room, they will emphasize exclusivity and add shine, and in small rooms, thanks to the “invisible” effect, they will not take up much space.
- Ceramic tile. The tiled countertop looks very impressive. Maintenance of such a table is simple - just wipe it with a damp cloth. Tiles can imitate wood or natural stone, such as marble. The tabletop can also be decorated with patterns or mosaics of small tiles. An interesting interior solution is the tile on the countertop, which matches the tile on the kitchen "apron".
- Plastic. Increasingly popular material. Its advantages are lightness, ease of maintenance, relatively low cost, the ability to choose a table of almost any color or without it at all - transparent. Modern plastic is resistant to both moisture and temperature, and UV radiation, which means that its service life is quite long.
There are also models from combined and exotic materials, for example, from saw cut wood or a combination of glass and leather. Such tables are quite expensive and are used in kitchens with exclusive interiors.
The color of the table in the interior of the kitchen
The color of the countertop must be selected taking into account the style in which the kitchen is decorated. Often the color is determined by the material, but here there are options. For example, a wooden table can be left natural, covered with a protective compound.
In this case, the color of wood and its texture will be one of the decorative elements of the decor. This is appropriate in "rustic" styles, such as country, Provence, loft style, and some others. However, in the event that you want to get an interior in a strict and restrained style, for example, minimalism, you can paint the wooden table to match the color of the furniture and walls so that it does not stand out from the surrounding environment.
The dining group can be an interior dominant, while choosing a contrasting and fairly bright color for it. For example, with white walls and furniture, the table can be bright red or orange. It all depends on the chosen style and your taste.
The white table in the interior of the kitchen is the most versatile solution. It will look organic in both classical and modern styles.
The shape of the dining table in the interior of the kitchen
The shape of the table affects not only its performance, but also its perception in the interior. Consider the possible options.
- Rectangle. The most traditional, roomy and comfortable shape. Quite a lot of people can be placed at such a table, it is convenient to put it against the wall, it takes up little space, especially when compared with round tables. You can put it in a corner or lean against one of the walls with its end side, thus dividing the room into conditional zones.
- Oval. Tables of this form are of considerable size, since their width cannot be less than 90 cm, while their length exceeds 110 cm, and usually even more. They are only suitable for large kitchens, because there should be enough space for sitting or aisle (at least 80 cm) before the pieces of furniture.
- A circle. The round table in the interior of the kitchen looks very elegant, but it is quite demanding on placement - on all sides from it to the nearest obstacle should remain, as in the case of an oval table, at least 80 cm, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move around.
- Semi-oval. Such a table in the interior of the kitchen is not common, but in fact it is very convenient, primarily because it does not have sharp corners, which is especially valuable in small rooms. Usually semi-ovals are located in the center of the dining area, adjoining the wall with a straight side.
Tip: If you want your kitchen table to always look decent in the interior of the kitchen, follow the rules for caring for it. At least once a week, it is necessary to wipe not only the countertop, but also the underframe with a damp cloth, removing dirt with mild detergents. Never use a knife and other sharp objects without placing a special board under them - scratching the table is easy, returning it to its original appearance is difficult, and sometimes impossible.

Extendable dining table. How to choose the right one?
Remember that a poor-quality or improperly selected table can cause a lot of trouble or even spoil the celebration. To avoid incidents, remember a few simple rules for choosing such an important piece of furniture:
The table should not stand out too much from the overall picture of the interior. It is best if it is made in the same style as the rest of the decor. If the interior is dominated by wood, then it would be logical to choose a wooden sliding table for the kitchen.
Choose an extendable table in the same color scheme as other furniture. For example, if the dressing table or cabinets in the room are dark brown, then the table can be chosen a tone lighter.
If possible, buy a table that comes with chairs made in the same style with it. Then the furniture will be in harmony with each other, which will serve as an additional compliment to the owner, emphasize his sense of taste.
Take measurements in advance so as not to miscalculate the size of the dining table for the sliding kitchen. It should ideally match the parameters of the place that you have prepared for it.
Pay attention to the functionality of the sliding table. It should best meet your needs.
For example, the table can be moved apart in width or length, have a round, square or rectangular shape.
And, of course, not the last role in this list is the cost of the product. Too cheap price should alert you - perhaps such a table is made of low-quality and short-lived materials.
What is the best table shape?
Today, the choice of sliding tables is very large. To decide which one is right for you, weigh all the pros and cons of a particular form of product. There are both small sliding tables for the kitchen and large ones on the market.
The standard forms of sliding tables are round, which turn into ovals and squares, which become rectangular. Please note that the unfolded square table can accommodate more people.
A round sliding table for the kitchen, despite some impracticality, looks better in the interior, is a more interesting option.
The so-called transforming tables also deserve attention. In fact, this is an ordinary coffee table, but with a secret: with one simple movement, you can make an oval sliding table for the kitchen out of it.
The least popular of the square tables is the book table. Despite the fact that among the rest it is distinguished by its compactness and elegant simplicity, it is not suitable for large feasts. But such a table can be used as a bedside table, laying it out from time to time.
Before buying a sliding table, think carefully and try to take into account all the details. It would not be superfluous to view photos of sliding tables for the kitchen in catalogs and on thematic sites. The material of a table-top chosen by you will be reflected both in the price, and on durability of a product.

Variety of dining table designs
The design of the table implies two main types: folding and stationary. Folding tables are most often used in small kitchens, they take up little space, and if guests arrive, they can be expanded. There are several types of them and each has its own characteristics:
Sliding dining tables: they allow you to tilt the tabletop, after which it is enough to move it until it is fixed and the table is ready for use.
Synchronized sliding table: pulling the table top from one side will free up space in the middle. Next, you need to remove the spare part from the underframe, placing it in the resulting gap, it will become a full-fledged dining room.
Swing-out table: tabletop rotated ninety degrees, allows you to spread it along the table, significantly increasing its area.
Folding dining table: ideal for small kitchens. In the assembled state, it will save the space of the room, without exceeding the size of the cabinet. And when unfolded, it reaches quite a solid size.
Transformer table: at first glance, like an ordinary coffee table, when disassembled, it reaches an impressive size.
In addition to these advantages, such designs also have their drawbacks. The presence of mechanisms makes them heavier, and the joints inherent in them somewhat violate the aesthetic appearance. In turn, stationary tables in the interior of the kitchen look much more attractive, but their size is limited by the dimensions of the kitchen.
How to determine dimensions
To correctly determine the dimensions, it is necessary to take into account how many people will be located at the table at the same time.
The worktop with overall dimensions from 60 to 80 cm is ideal for a small kitchen, and for dining rooms and large kitchens you need more than 120 cm.
Variety of dining tables
The operational qualities of the table and its compliance with the given interior directly depend on the chosen form. There are many different forms:
The rectangle is the most popular, comfortable, and roomy option from the proposed shapes.
Rectangular tables allow you to place a lot of people behind you. They take up relatively little space, especially in comparison with round tables. They are easily placed in a corner or near a wall, which saves space and divides the room into fictitious zones.
Oval - has impressive dimensions, at least 90 cm wide and over 110 cm long. This is a beautiful dining table that is most often placed in large dining rooms or kitchens. It should not disturb the processes of normal life, therefore it is very demanding on its placement.
Circle - elegantly and sophisticatedly fits into the interior of the kitchen, but rather capricious in relation to its placement. Like the oval described earlier, it requires at least 80 cm of additional space to move.
A semi-oval is a rarity in the interior of kitchens, but due to the absence of sharp corners, it becomes very valuable and practical in small spaces. The design of such tables implies the location of the straight side of the table near the wall.
Dining table materials
Many factors depend on the material of manufacture. For example, the appearance of the table and its combination with the interior depends on the material of the tabletop, and the material of the underframe largely affects its strength.
