In addition, it is reported that the growth of the number of registered crimes committed using information and telecommunications technologies has slowed down. So, by the first quarter of the year, their number increased by 33.7%, and for 8 months – by 12.7%.
Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs told about the work on the creation of a bank of biometric data of citizens, which should end no later than 2023.
It was also reported that the ministry will not abandon the mandatory mark of military duty in the passport.
Boys who did not exercise in early childhood are more likely to suffer from depression than those who experienced regular physical activity during this age period. This is reported in a study by a psychologist-educator from the University of Montreal, Marie-Jose Harbeck. The work was published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics.
Harbeck tried to establish a long-term relationship between sports and symptoms of depression and anxiety. The study was conducted among boys and girls aged 5 to 12 years. In addition, he studied the symptoms of emotional disorder in children aged 6 to 10 years.
To prove his theory, he began monitoring 690 boys and 748 girls in Quebec city. As a result, it turned out that boys who did not play sports at the age of five were more likely to look unhappy and tired at school. At the same time, male children who experienced regular physical activity at the age of 5 to 12 years did not experience such problems. This was due to the fact that they learned to apply this experience in life, which contributed to the development of their initiative. In addition, sports made it easier for them to communicate with their peers and adults.
At the same time, girls are more susceptible to stress than boys. Therefore, they often turn to parents and specialists for help. Thus, such psychological support protects them better than boys, Harbek believes.
Earlier it was reported that since September 1, 150 Russian schools have introduced football lessons.
A high-altitude cyclone established over Kuzbass caused the first snowfall. This was reported by the representative of the Kemerovo Hydrometeorological Center Natalia Poluektova, RIA Novosti reports.
Last weekend, rains and sleet hit the region. In the Central mine of the Tisul district, the height of the cover was 13 centimeters.
The meteorologist noted that snow in September is not an anomaly. She recalled that in 2015, wet snow fell in the Kemerovo region on September 14.
“But we haven’t had such a more saturated, wetter and heavier snow for a long time,” Poluektova said.
According to her, the severity of the first snow provoked a difficult situation on the roads and caused broken trees.
Recall that due to bad weather in Kemerovo, the movement of public transport was disrupted. Now work is underway to clean up fallen trees and broken branches, the city authorities and rescue services are busy eliminating the consequences of the disaster.
The military of Russia and Mongolia conducted the first joint training at the Mongolian training ground “Doityn Am”. It was held as part of the Selenga-2021 exercise. This is reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The message states that employees of both countries have determined the routes of nomination based on the terrain at the landfill. In addition, they worked out the issues of organization and interaction. At the same time, motorized rifle and tank units carried out a joint offensive with deployment in the battle line. During the execution of these maneuvers, the speed of movement of military equipment was taken into account.
The press service clarified that during the exercises, the Russian and Mongolian military took part in competitions in Mongolian national wrestling, football, volleyball, pistol shooting and relay.
To unite the military of the two countries, the teams consisted of employees of Russia and Mongolia.
The exercises “Selenga-2021” are held in difficult climatic conditions of the mountain-steppe area. 1.5 thousand military personnel take part in them, and the number of military equipment involved exceeds 200 units.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian-Mongolian exercises “Selenga-2021” started at the “Doityn Am” training ground. Military maneuvers are dedicated to the fight against terrorism.
When Transmashholding presented the Ivolga 3.0 wagon, industry experts immediately highly appreciated the work of industrial designers, whose efforts significantly improved the rolling stock.How does the new modification of the train differ from the previous ones?
This summer, Transmashholding (TMH) presented to passengers the head car of the train of the new modification “Oriole 3.0″. In July, it was seen by guests of the MOSCOW URBAN FORUM 2021, and at the end of August, visitors of the International Railway Salon ” PRO//Movement. Expo & raquo; in Shcherbinka.
How many seats are there in the car?
You get used to good things quickly. Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region— regular passengers of the MCD have already forgotten about the old electric trains, having changed to cute “Orioles”.
These cars of modifications 1 and 2 have been flying successfully for almost 2 years, they were launched in 2019. But the company’s industrial designers continue to work on improving the rolling stock. After all, “Oriole”was originally created as a multifunctional platform. This means that cars based on it can be used for urban, suburban, and interregional transportation.
“Oriole 3.0” is a promising car, its interior, as well as the number of seats, may change depending on what requirements the future customer will present. And the number of cars can vary from 4 to 12.
The technical solutions used in the design ensure smooth running, low noise, fast acceleration and braking, which reduces the time of passing the route. The composition is capable of accelerating up to 160 km/h with an acceleration of up to 1 m/s (this is +10% compared to the previous modification). The direction of movement is changed in 1-2 minutes.

& laquo;If the first two & bdquo;Orioles“ & nbsp; were still designed for operation in the mode of an urban electric train, then & bdquo;Oriole 3.0 & ldquo; & mdash; the first step towards creating an intercity express for trips of 200-250 km »,— says general director of the Institute for Research on Railway Transport Problems & nbsp;Pavel Ivankin.
There are 35 seats in the head car, 72 in the trailer car. But the layout of the seats can be changed if you need to increase the number of passengers. This, according to Ivankin, can attract many regions to the project of increased comfort “City train”.
Clean air
The passenger seats themselves are also modified: they have become more ergonomic, there is support for the lumbar and shoulder belts, armrests, as well as USB and Type-C connectors, so necessary for owners of modern gadgets. At the same time, Internet access is assumed in the cars.
But something is also inherited from previous modifications of the Oriole, for example, wide entrance doors, as well as a through passage between the cars, which allows passengers to evenly occupy seats throughout the entire interior of the train. These amenities received a positive rating from 95% of the passengers of the MCD.
“In terms of comfort, the Ivolga 3.0 model is very modern trains,” says the deputy director of the scientific and educational center “Digital High-speed Systems” of the Russian Open Academy of Transport Alexander Chekmarev. They meet all the requirements for rolling stock engaged in the transportation of passengers, which are imposed in our country and the Customs Union.
The new electric trains will be equipped with a digital control system and a system for diagnosing the technical condition of the main components and systems, it monitors more than 300 parameters in real time.
The developers also thought about the epidemic realities of our days, installing an air conditioning system with the function of air disinfection. With the help of high-power ultraviolet lamps, it makes bacteria and viruses harmless to humans.
Of course, the new cars are adapted for the passage of passengers with limited mobility and passengers with children.
Among other amenities are handrails with a warm coating and a two-tier structure, adaptive lighting (the light temperature varies depending on the time of day), the ability to place bicycles in the head cars and install vending machines and coffee machines. Bathrooms are equipped with touch taps, liquid soap dispensers, electric hand dryers, a changing table.

The designer is the same passenger
The new cars were created by domestic designers, and almost 95% of the components in them are Russian-made. They are produced at the Tver Carriage Building Plant, which is part of TMH. Specialists of the company’s strategic partner, the National Center for Industrial Design and Innovation 2050.LAB, worked on the design of a new modification of the electric train.
“One of the tasks of our designers was to create a good mood for people. We chose a new color scheme of light, yellow tones, which would create a joyful atmosphere and correspond to this wonderful name “Oriole” bird of joy. On our train, people often go early in the morning and when they return from work, that is, wewe must create a positive emotional mood for them, which will meet them in the morning and accompany them home in the evening. We were very attentive to the color scheme of the interior, textures, specially designed a texture that would emphasize the fabric of the seats, its characteristics and quality, ” says Evgeny Maslov, chief designer of TMX .
Since the designers are well aware of the Russian transport system, according to Maslov, they are very mobile in designing and can quickly respond to new passenger requests.
“When designing, we use the knowledge of designers, engineers, analyze all the input information and try to make our product even better in a creative, almost magical way. Designers are not extras who just study reviews. Their role and unique experience is that they themselves become passengers for a while, drivers in dialogue, in studying, in creating certain layouts. And since many designers of our company ride the Oriole themselves, they create something new based on their daily experience. And, of course, there are certain
The Government of the Russian Federation supported, taking into account the comments, the bill of a group of senators on giving regions the right to establish additional requirements for the maintenance and walking of pets. This is reported by TASS with reference to the official review of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The project was submitted to the State Duma in June by senators headed by the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Agrarian and Food Policy and Environmental Management Alexey Mayorov. The authors of the document proposed to give the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation the right to establish rules for walking and keeping pets, in addition to those prescribed in the law “On responsible treatment of animals”.
In particular, the document stipulates that such requirements should be aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens, animals, the safety of property of individuals and legal entities, ensuring proper care for pets and preventing cruel treatment of them, compliance with veterinary and sanitary-epidemiological norms and rules, as well astake into account the climatic conditions of the climatic zones of the Russian Federation, the historical and cultural traditions of the indigenous population. According to the authors of the initiative, currently the law defines only general requirements for keeping pets, and the regional authorities do not have the authority to regulate these issues, although they had the corresponding rights before the law came into force.
The Government of the Russian Federation noted that the draft law should be finalized, in particular, along with the directions of requirements for the maintenance of animals established by the state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, their nature should also be determined. It is specified that we can talk about a ban on walking pets by children under 14 years of age, the establishment of a limitthe number of pets in the places where they are kept or the requirements for the length of the leash for the dog. “At the same time, the list of such requirements should not be exhaustive,” the Cabinet of Ministers stressed.
Earlier АиФ.ги he wrote about dogs that changed the lives of their owners.
It was also reported which animals are being vaccinated against coronavirus.
At the height of the American presence in Afghanistan, local television conducted a survey on the topic of which of the country’s leaders they consider the most successful period of government.& nbsp;The answer was unexpected & mdash; & nbsp;the absolute majority called the name Mohammad Najibullah.
& laquo;Anger and shame choked me»
It is quite difficult to imagine such a liberty on the part of the Afghans today, since the last leader of socialist Afghanistan was killed by the Taliban, banned in Russia, during their first coming to power. But why do the people of the country remember Najibullah with a kind word?
He was born in 1947 in the family of a civil servant. By Afghan standards, Najibullah’s parents were quite wealthy people. Mohammad graduated from a prestigious lyceum, after which he entered the medical faculty of Kabul University. During his university years, he joined the Afghan Marxists, who had just created their own party.
Already being the leader of Afghanistan, Najibullah recalled in an interview that during one of his trips to his father, who served in the province, he, at that time still a lyceum student, witnessed the birth of a woman who occurred during the trip. The woman in labor, who was delivered from the burden literally on the road, was already on her way in twenty minutes.
“I felt some kind of internal push, I was trembling. How is it, I thought, why should an Afghan woman give birth on the ground, among the stones, like a stray animal?Believe me, I didn’t think about any revolution at that time, just anger and shame were suffocating me. After all, I loved my land and my people. What is he, should he live worse than the entire human race?»— & nbsp;told Najibullah.
From “unreliable”to the head of the special service
The young Mohammad was among those Afghans who believed that it was mean to cover up eternal poverty and the lack of basic living conditions with age-old traditions and religion. Najibullah expressed his dissatisfaction with the government, which did nothing to improve the living conditions of people, so actively that he soon became a regular at police stations, receiving the stigma of “unreliable”. The university graduate combined his revolutionary activity with medical practice.
In 1978, the Marxists carried out a coup, later called the “April Revolution”. Najibullah was among the members of the Revolutionary Council. Soon he was appointed ambassador to Iran, but just a couple of months later he was removed from his post. The fact is that there were factions in the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan that fought to the death among themselves, and at that time Najibullah was among the losers. The road home was closed for him, and he had to live in the Soviet Union for a couple of years.
After the Soviet troops entered Afghanistan, Najibullah returned, leading under the new leader Babrak Karmal KHAD is an Afghan state security agency. In this hypostasis, he was reputed to be a tough man, but quite effective.
Reconciliation course
After Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the USSR in most countries of the socialist camp, the process of replacing the former leaders with new ones who share the new course of Moscow has begun. In 1987, Najibullah became the leader in Afghanistan.
The Afghan conflict dragged on, the Mujahideen received significant support from the United States and other countries, and the Soviet leadership felt that it was necessary to move from harsh methods to compromises. Najibullah declared a course for national reconciliation and the rejection of armed confrontation.
Unlike many other new leaders of the socialist countries, Najibullah was not weak-willed. He was well aware that the opposite camp could regard proposals for peace as weakness, so he was always ready to respond with blow to blow if the Mujahideen ignored his peace initiatives. The militant leaders, who were oriented to the West, did not want peace. But ordinary Afghans wanted it, including those who used to support the Mujahideen. Thousands of former oppositionists laid down their weapons and returned home, tens of thousands of refugees returned to the country.
Najibullah softened his attitude to religion, an Islamic Advisory Council was founded under him, 20 new mosques were built in less than two years and more than 300 old ones were repaired.

An agreement that is not mandatory for everyone
The new line of the government found more and more support among the people. We should not forget that with the help of the USSR, new schools, hospitals, entire residential quarters, industrial enterprises were built. It was hard not to appreciate the advantages of a renewed Afghanistan.
However, the American media continued to repeat: “Najibullah is a Moscow puppet who will fall the day after the Russians leave.”
In April 1988, settlement documents were signed, according to which Soviet troops should leave the territory of Afghanistan, and the United States and Pakistan pledged to completely stop funding the Afghan rebels. On May 15, 1988, the USSR began to fulfill its obligations. As for the United States and Pakistan, their support for the Afghan Mujahideen has not actually stopped, but only began to flow through other channels. On February 15, 1989, the last Soviet units left Afghanistan.
The story of a betrayal
What happened in 2021, when the Americans left, is well known & mdash; their henchmen lost power in a matter of days.
And Najibullah held on. The Afghan army managed to repel the militants ‘ offensive and stabilize the situation. Moreover, after the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the support of the country’s leader among the population of Afghanistan began to grow.
Perhaps this moment could be a turning point for Afghanistan. It was enough to stop supporting the Mujahideen and force them to negotiate with Najibullah peacefully, and the country could get out of the quagmire of a long-term war. However, in Washington at that moment, watching the destruction of the socialist camp, they dreamed of an unconditional victory in the “Cold War”. And Najibullah’s steadfastness only irritated the White House.
No matter how bitter it is to realize, but Najibullah was betrayed by Russia. Afghanistan did not need the lives of our soldiers, it needed the supply of weapons, ammunition and fuel. This equalized the possibilities, since no one stopped supplying the Mujahideen. President of Russia Boris Yeltsin and his foreign minister Andrey Kozyrev fulfilled the requirements of the United States, stopping all deliveries to the Afghan government from January 1, 1992.
By March 1992, Najibullah simply had nothing to fight with the Mujahideen. He declared his readiness to transfer power to a neutral government. In April, the opposition occupied Kabul. The deposed leader took refuge on the territory of the UN mission in Kabul.

Massacre
Peace in the country, however, did not come. Yesterday’s allies in the war with the “infidels”, the Mujahideen committed a bloody civil strife, challenging each other’s power.
Najibullah has repeatedly warned in his interviews that Afghanistan is waiting for just such a scenario, but no one listened to him. The four-year war of everyone with everyone turned into a victory for the Taliban. The period of their rule in Afghanistan shocked the world with monstrous cruelty and obscurantism. When they captured Kabul in September 1996, they first dealt with Najibullah.
The Taliban did not recognize any international rules and norms. At 1:30 am, they broke into the territory of the UN mission in Kabul, beat up employees, destroyed premises and captured Najibullah and his brother. The former head of Afghanistan defended himself, but what could he oppose to armed bandits? He was brutally tortured for several hours, then his dead body was tied to a jeep, dragged along the ground for two kilometers and hung on a fortified checkpoint at the gates of the presidential palace. The bodies of Najibullah and his brother were subjected to mockery, and these images flew around the world.
Paradise Lost
According to one version, the Pakistani intelligence service, which supervised the Taliban, was involved in the massacre of Najibullah. The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is not actually marked and runs along the so-called “Durand line”, defined by the British colonial administration. The Afghan authorities have never officially recognized this border, and they wanted to force Najibullah to retroactively sign a recognition document fabricated by the Pakistani special services. However, the Afghan leader refused to do this, despite the torture.
In the quarter of a century that has passed since the death of Mohammad Najibullah, Afghans have experienced the “true Sharia” of the Taliban and the charms of the American presence, and now they are getting used to the “updated” Taliban. But against all this, the times of Najibullah seem like a lost paradise to the Afghans. The last chaptersocialist Afghanistan is presented as a fairy-tale hero, wise and just, who fell at the hands of traitors. But this hidden cult of Najibullah can’t change anything. There are no people in Afghanistan who want to fight for the ideals for which he lived. And no one will bring a well-fed and quiet life on a platter.
The Russian government has approved a bill that allows the head of state to increase the age limit for military service for a marshal, army general and fleet admiral. This is reported by TASS.
“The government of the Russian Federation supports the bill,” the government review says.
The corresponding draft was submitted by President Vladimir Putin to the State Duma in July of this year. It follows from the document that a new contract with senior officers can be concluded before they reach the age of 70 years. Now the maximum age of military service for them is 65 years.
It should be noted that the current officers do not have the ranks of marshals. There are five senior officers in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation who may serve an unlimited period of time. Read more about this in the article АиФ.ги.
YouTube CEO Susan Wodzicki said that she expects to continue the work of the video hosting in Russia, despite possible disagreements with the authorities, Bloomberg TV reports.
According to her, the company intends to ensure the operation of the service and the service of the audience at the highest possible level, including at times when there are disagreements with the authorities.
“The company will do everything to resolve the contradictions,” Wodzicki said, answering a question from TV channel correspondents about the prospects of the service in the Russian Federation.
The head of the service refused to comment on the question of whether YouTube deleted the videos at the request of the Russian authorities. At the same time, she noted that she considers freedom of speech a “key value” in the work of their platform.
Earlier it was reported that Roskomnadzor was engaged in the formation of a register of social networks operating in Russia. Facebook Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Youtube, Likee, Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki are already included in this list.
“220 years ago, on September 27, 1801, the coronation of the Russian emperor took place Alexandra I. During the celebrations, the emperor was presented with the world’s first bicycle-the invention of Efim Artamonov, a serf artisan from Nizhny Tagil. The tsar was so delighted with the unit that he personally bought out the inventor, paying 500 rubles to the Nizhny Tagil plant-a huge amount at that time.
One way or another, in the next attack, “Russia” is the birthplace of elephants”, Internet portals will tell about this event. Perhaps someone will emphasize that the Russians have overtaken Europe in the invention of the bicycle by 12 years, that Yefim Artamonov, in addition to the bicycle, also invented pumps for pumping water from barges, or that later the masters will be sent away for an unreasonable waste of wood and iron.

& mdash; My Web(@mywebssu) April 6, 2015
In general, falsification of history is a punishable matter. And therefore, you need to be more careful with Artamonov’s bike. The fact is that no “inventor Efim Mikheevich Artamonov” most likely did not exist in nature. In any case, its existence is not documented in any way. Nothing confirms the fact of his arrival in Moscow on a bicycle. In the descriptionsThere is not a single word about the coronation of Alexander I about this event at all. And the two-wheeled all-metal bicycle itself, which was still on display in the Nizhny Tagil Museum, was removed from the exposition. Out of harm’s way, metallographic analysis showed that this unit was made of open-hearth metal no earlier than the 1870s. And according to the English scheme “spider-bike”.
There is nothing wrong or shameful in claiming the domestic priority and showing that the sharp mind of the Russian people is able to overtake its time in terms of inventions. It is ok. But is it worth resorting to such low methods as direct falsification or forgery for this? Probably not & ndash; so you can only compromise a good idea.
And it would not be bad to direct the exuberant energy of those who are going to defend the honor of the inventor Efim Artamonov into the channel of real research of the Russian priority. For example, many people are still sure that the first solid chocolate in the form of a tile was created at the English factory of J. S. Fry & Sons in 1847, when chocolate was still brewed and drunk in the backward Russian Empire. This is written by an authoritative online encyclopedia, which we usually refer to as the main arbiter in resolving controversial historical issues.Meanwhile, it is enough to refer to the Easter issue of the magazine “Northern Bee”, which is dated April 1838: “In every confectionery there are a lot of sugar, marzipan and chocolate products and figures” whole armies of chocolate!”That is, it turns out that almost 10 years before the banal English tile, Russian confectioners already knew how to make hard chocolate and even make figures out of it. And this is a documented fact, not idle speculation.
There are enough such facts. And it is a pity that Ural economist Vasily Belov who launched the legend of Artamonov’s bicycle in 1896, did not pay any attention to what was happening right here and now, literally under his nose.
Here, for example, is the same year 1896. It was then, on May 16, that the first film show took place in Russia. In the St. Petersburg garden “Aquarium”, during the intermission of the theatrical performance, a ten-minute selection of films by the Lumiere brothers was shown which, as everyone knows for sure, opened the era of cinema in 1895. A sensation! A furor! The trick, however, is that the first film show actually took place in Russia on January 9, 1894 at the Sixth Meeting of the Physics Section of the IX Congress of Russian Natural Scientists and Doctors in Moscow, about which the protocol was drawn up. The films were called “The Galloping Horsemen” and “The Javelin Thrower”. The author of them was a native of Kharkov, the inventor of Iosif Timchenko. He developed a jump device that allows you to intermittently change frames in a strobe light. And simply & ndash; invented a movie camera. And two years earlier than Auguste and Louis Lumiere. And he shot his first paintings back in 1893 at the Odessa Hippodrome. Doctors and natural scientists thanked Timchenko, but he did not bother with the patent. And quite in vain – the owners of the international network of Lumiere photo stores very soon crushed the entire planet with their authority and their products.
The same year is 1896. In Nizhny Novgorod, the second electric tram in Russia is being opened with great fanfare. The first one was launched back in 1892, in Kiev. It was built by Siemens. Everything is fine, but again past. The first electric tram in Russia began running back in 1880. The movement was opened on September 3, which was mentioned in theto the press: “At 12 o’clock in the afternoon, on the Sands, at the corner of Bolotnaya Street and Degtyarny Lane, a car will be moved for the first time by the electric force of a current running along the rails on which the wheels of the car roll. The dynamo-electric machine is suspended from the bottom of the car. The inventor of the electric tram was a Russian engineer, gunner Fyodor Pirotsky. Karl Siemens, who met with the Russian inventor and had a long conversation with him, became interested in his experiment. The Siemens brothers will launch the first Berlin electric tram in 1881, a year after the Russian one.
You will laugh, but it’s 1896 again in the arena. A scientific article by the Russian polygraphist Ivan Orlov appears “A new way of multicolored printing from a single cliche”. Speaking humanly, Ivan Ivanovich invented a technology for protecting money and securities that almost excluded their forgery. His invention was announced in a scientific article in 1896. A year later, his patent was bought in Germany, France, England and the USA. And 30 years later, the Germans tried to assign priority. But then the Bolsheviks were already guarding the domestic interests. Here is a fragment of an article from the newspaper “Pravda” dated May 28, 1925, ordered by the manager of Goznak By Trifon Yenukidze We hope that the scientific and technical department will explain to whom it should be in the German official press that we also do not slurp soup and have learned to distinguish fraud from invention.
Let us repeat all these events, significant for the real history of Russian inventive thought, occurred in the very year 1896, when, for some mysterious reasons, the bike about Artamonov’s bicycle was launched.
