The accused appeared in the case of the death of the actor’s daughter Vladimir Konkin Sofia, who drowned while swimming in the pool in September 2020. UK investigators charged To Anna Andrianova, the owner of the fitness club where she died Sofia. This was reported by TASS lawyer Yulia Nitchenko, representing the interests of Vladimir Konkin.
What was the owner of the fitness club accused of?
Andrianova was charged under Part 2 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, resulting in the death of a person”). The maximum penalty under this article is six years of imprisonment with a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles (or in the amount of income for a period of up to three years).
The Basmanny court appointed the owner of the fitness club a preventive measure in the form of a ban on certain actions. Nitchenko told Channel Five that she does not yet know what actions were banned by the accused.According to her, this measure is more stringent than a subscription not to leave. However, there is no question of house arrest.
“At the same time, she will not be at home, she will only need to be there at night. Well, as a rule, it happens like this, ” Nitchenko said.
Andrianova was charged due to the fact that there was no medical office in the fitness club. The investigators came to the conclusion that the sports institution is an object with increased danger, where in addition to the instructor there should be a medic and a medical office, writes Moskovsky Komsomolets. According to Ren TV, Andrianova was previously twice brought to administrative responsibility for the absence of a medical office in the fitness club.
Did Andrianova admit guilt?
No, Andrianova did not admit guilt. She said that Konkina did not die in a fitness club, but in a hospital. According to the statement of the accused, an examination of the actions of doctors who tried to save the life of the artist’s daughter after hospitalization is being carried out, according to Channel Five, Ren TV and Moskovsky Komsomolets.

At the same time, the first forensic medical examination found that death occurred as a result of water entering Konkina’s body and at the time of hospitalization her brain was no longer functioning.
Nitchenko told the Moscow Komsomolets that all the doctors had been questioned earlier and their testimony looked convincing. The lawyer noted that she is not against the examination, which will “shed light on the connection between resuscitation measures and the death of Sofia”. But, according to her, no matter what conclusions the experts come to, this will not remove the guilt from the owner of the fitness club.
In this regard, the representative of Konkin announced a civil lawsuit against Andrianova in the framework of the criminal case, demanding compensation for damage in the amount of 11 million rubles.
What claim was brought against the owner of the fitness club?
Nitchenko explained that the required 11 million rubles will be fully intended for the minor daughter of Sofia Konkina, who was left an orphan: her mother died, and her father is wanted. A special account will be created in the name of the girl, where the money will be received.
According to the lawyer, this is the minimum amount that could be asked for. She will become a guarantee that the daughter of the deceased will not be in need, her basic needs will be covered and she will receive an education.
“This is a small amount, the child is 12 years old, it is necessary to finish school and enter the institute. Neither the father, nor the mother, the grandfather is not able to provide for her, “the lawyer” Ren TV ” quotes the words of the lawyer.
According to Nitchenko, Anna Andrianova owns two fitness clubs with high turnover, reports Channel Five.
What has become known during the investigation?
32-year-old Sofia Konkina began to drown in the pool of a fitness club late in the evening on September 22, 2020. She was taken to the hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of “drowning in fresh water”. Despite the help of doctors, the woman died.
The Main Investigative Department of the IC of Russia in Moscow opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Vladimir Konkin insisted on the involvement of a third person in the death of his daughter. According to media reports, Sofia complained to her friends about aggression from a roommate. However, the version of premeditated murder was not confirmed, Yulia Nitchenko said.
According to the lawyer, the examination did not confirm that Konkina had used any psychotropic drugs before her death. But she revealed that the woman had drunk a small amount of alcohol before her death. The media wrote that Konkina drank wine before going to a fitness club. & nbsp;

They write that in Israel, the owners who do not clean up after the dogs on the street will be calculated from the DNA of the animals. How does it work?
The expert’s answer is 0 + –
As the veterinarian from Tel Aviv Andrey Ishukov told , In Israel, dogs are legally assigned to individuals. There are mandatory chipping and an electronic data bank, in which information about each animal is entered: name, chip number, vaccinations, owner. “There is an initiative to replenish the data bank with information about dogs obtained from a DNA test. With the help of this, they want to identify owners who do not clean up after their animals (up to 500 kg of dog waste remains on the streets of Tel Aviv every month. —& nbsp;Ed.). Then there are people who want to do an analysis of excrement and compare it with what is in the database in order to issue a fine, says Marina Eingor, president of the International Association of Veterinarians and Microbiologists, Doctor of Veterinary Sciences from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I don’t believe that the bill will pass: DNA analysis is too expensive.
The commander of the US Navy in Europe and Africa, Admiral Robert Burke, called the reason why NATO forces will open fire on Russian warships in the Black Sea.
According to Business Insider, the admiral said that when a foreign plane flies near NATO destroyers, the ship commanders decide for themselves whether it is preparing to attack or not.
According to Burke, the Russians are “provoking us to strike first”.
He noted that the Russian Navy constantly accompanies the alliance ships in the Black Sea. However, such interactions are mostly safe and professional, the US military said.
The admiral added that Russia has significantly modernized its armed forces, especially submarines, and has learned lessons from US military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In mid-July, after the NATO ships entered the Black Sea, two frigates of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation conducted exercises, having worked out the destruction of a detachment of ships of a conditional enemy.
From June 28 to July 10, large-scale Sea Breeze military exercises were held in the Black Sea with the participation of Ukraine, the United States, Britain, Turkey, Romania and other countries. After that, the Russian president expressed concern about the “military development of Ukraine” by the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.

Konevets is a small island on Lake Ladoga. For 6 centuries it has been a point of attraction, a place of strength for thousands of people. Here is the Konevsky Nativity-the Theotokos Monastery.
For several centuries, the monastery has been destroyed more than once. But he rose again and again. And now it is experiencing a new revival.
Sign from above
Many legends are associated with the appearance of the monastery. According to one of them, the Novgorod monk Arseny I sailed along Ladoga in search of a place for a new monastery. A strong storm forced him to moor to the island of Konevets. Having survived the bad weather, Arseny decided to continue the journey, but the boat was washed ashore again. He understood: this is a sign from above.
Gradually, his disciples began to arrive on the island, and in the XV century, the monk and like-minded people laid a cathedral here. The main shrine was the miraculous icon, transferred from Mount Athos. It depicts Christ, playing with a baby pigeon. Now the original relic is kept in the Novo-Valaam Monastery in Finland, and there is a list of it on the island.
For 6 centuries, the monastery has experienced different times. It was twice captured by the Swedes & mdash; ruined so that the monks were forced to leave the monastery. The best years were at the end of the XIX-beginning of the XX century. Then 300 monks lived here. A majestic cathedral with a bell tower, beautiful iconostases, frescoes. According to the inventory of 1863, 8 thousand books were stored in the local library.
Thousands of pilgrims came to this holy place. In 1858, he came Emperor Alexander II with the whole family. -We have been here and left enthusiastic memories Nikolay Leskov, Alexandre Dumas, Fyodor Tyutchev.
In 1918, the island of Konevets was under the jurisdiction of Finland, and units of the Finnish army were stationed on it. After the defeat of this country in the Winter War of 1940, it was returned to Russia.
By the way, miracle or not, but during the heavy bombing, not a single shell hit the temple. And none of the monks were even injured. Only the gardener’s house burned down. Nevertheless, in 1940, the brothers, 31 people, in order to save valuables and shrines, went to the mainland, to Finland, on the ice of Ladoga. Only the iconostasis and church bells were left.
After the end of the Great Patriotic War, a naval base was located on Konevets, and in the 1950s and 1960s, torpedoes, mines, and depth charges were tested here.
Everything has changed
In 1991, the monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church. The buildings were partially destroyed by that time, the decoration and painting were largely lost, especially in the upper temple.
It was not easy to get here. At first, it was a long way to Vladimirskaya Bay with a shaky pier. Then a ferry across the Ladoga River on a small and unhurried monastery boat.
On the island itself, the situation remained Spartan for a long time. Electricity was provided by diesel and intermittently, so guests were asked to stock up on candles. Stove heating, outdoor amenities, food & mdash; with you. If a storm started on Ladoga, communication with nearby settlements could be interrupted for a month. And in winter, the inhabitants of the monastery were generally cut off from the Mainland. It was possible to get to it only on foot on the ice or on skis.
Everything changed 5 years ago. In July 2016, Konevets visited Vladimir Putin. I went into the temple, put a candle. They say that some parishioners did not even immediately realize that the president was next to them. The Head of state decided to revive the monastery and entrusted it to the company “Rosneft”, which took over the entire large-scale reconstruction. And her head Igor Sechin, according to Patriarch Kirill, & laquo;took the main responsibility for the restoration of the monastery». All the works were carried out within the framework of the charity activities of the oil company.
Today we can see how much has been done. The previously unsettled bay, from where the path to the shrine begins, has turned into a multifunctional complex. A deep-water berth, a modern gas station, a floating refueling station and a station for towing ships, as well as a comfortable hotel and catering enterprises have been built here. There is an uninterrupted transport connection. Pilgrims and tourists will be quickly taken to the island by a boat, a ferry “Holy Prince Vladimir” or a hovercraft (there are two of them here).
A large pier and an embankment delight the eye on Konevets itself. Near the pier there is a cafe where delicious pastries and branded kvass according to the recipe of 1762 The two-story brick Guest house, which appeared in the XVIII century, attracts attention. In the 1950s, the military adapted the premises for a diesel engine. And now the building is completely restored & mdash; there you can take a break, buy souvenirs, admire the paintings. The White Hotel (for clergy) and the Red Hotel (for pilgrims who can stay for a few days) have been restored. A museum of the monastery was created.
Cable along the bottom of Ladoga
There are also no problems with electricity. A high-voltage cable was laid from the mainland along the bottom of Ladoga. On the island, sewage was carried out, a stable mobile connection was established. There is a fire station and a medical center. There is a helipad.
A farm that looks more like a cottage stops the eye. There is no comparison with the pen for goats and pigs, which was here before and exuded “aromas”. Soon they will bring chickens, piglets & mdash; now the monastery is looking for a specialist, or rather a family of livestock breeders who will be engaged in this farm. Fresh air, lake, forest, mushrooms and berries are guaranteed.
“We could not even dream of such a large-scale reconstruction,” Archimandrite Alexander, the vicar of the Konevsky Nativity of the Theotokos Monastery, told . Of course, the brethren did not expect that so many new people and construction equipment would appear. But we found a compromise: we changed the service schedule, went to meet each other halfway. As a result, it turned out as it should. I do not remember that somewhere else in 4 years such an old monastery was restored so qualitatively. In addition, it was necessary to withstand the technology, to get approvals. We are lucky that Rosneft has a very competent, experienced team. Everything was done clearly and smoothly.
As they say in the company itself, the main thing in this big project was the most careful attitude to monuments. They created new things without disturbing the harmony and monastic way of life.
The historical appearance of the monastery was restored as of the middle of the XIX century. & mdash; the peak of the monastery’s heyday. Both churches of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin & mdash; the center of the monastery ensemble & mdash; have been restored. Paintings and carved iconostases have been restored. Plaster layers of walls and vaults, windows, plank flooring, limestone facing of vestibules, steps and platforms were recreated. Engineering networks have been carried out. The cast-iron stairs were repaired, the original appearance of the Gate Bell Tower and the St. Nicholas Chapel, which in the old days also served as a lighthouse, was returned.

On July 7, 2019, the great consecration of the revived cathedral was performed by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.
Today, the Konevsky Monastery has a completely different life. Boats come to the pier every day & mdash; they bring excursion and pilgrimage groups. Cruise liners are also moored. This year, a visit to the island is included in 64 tourist routes. Tourists go with pleasure, because there are all the necessary conditions for a modern person. In summer, there is a children’s camp.
Visiting the shrine is now not a problem. Photo: provided by the press service of Rosneft
Thanks to the help of responsible business, the monastery received an excellent material base. So, like 100 years ago, thousands of people will come here. This was the main task of all those who helped the revival and continue to support the holy monastery.
By the way
Bells with a total weight of 14 tons were cast for the monastery belfry in Voronezh. And one of them is recreated from a randomly found “language” of the first quarter of the XVIII century. In order to achieve authenticity in the smallest details, masters from all over the country have united. And the senior bell ringer of the Moscow Kremlin, Igor Konovalov, spent several days in the archives of the Hermitage.
In 2017, the bells were consecrated by Bishop Ignatius of Vyborg and Priozersky. President Vladimir Putin took part in the celebration-he visited the monastery again, and again without warning and official events. I checked the progress of the work and evaluated what was done.
