affects the mood of the plans of domestic business, of course, special attention needs to be paid to inflation and its containment; at the end of january it amounted to 7.2% in annual terms, but of course we know that at the end of last year , consumer prices increased by 7.4%, well, that is, there has been a decline in inflation, here i will note the joint actions of the government and... russia. to curb inflation, the central bank raised the key rate. this means that borrowed money for the financial sector and loans for the population have become more expensive. on the background raising the key rate of the central bank, of course, this was a predicted phenomenon. lending has slowed down. thus, in january, the loan portfolio of legal entities decreased by 0.2%. on the contrary, individuals slightly added the same 0.2%. i know that my colleagues

are closely monitoring these parameters; it is extremely important to maintain a balance between the tasks of development, increasing lending investments, maintaining employment and ensuring price stability. other priorities are ensuring technological sovereignty, renewal and construction infrastructure and comprehensive development of human settlements, all this will be included in the plan of socio-economic actions for the next 6 years. upon implementation of all plans.

the economy is on a trajectory of positive growth, the international monetary fund announced today, they noted that the situation is developing better than expected, this is reflected in the recent imf report. in january , experts significantly increased their growth forecast for the russian economy for the current year, by 1.5% compared to the estimate made in october. now the fund believes that the russian economy will grow by 2.6% in 2020. now a special operation. the russian army continues to strike military targets behind enemy lines; targets are reported to have been hit in the kirovograd, nikolaev, dnepropetrovsk and kharkov regions, including two trains with weapons and ammunition, port infrastructure and a military-industrial complex. as for the situation on the front line, our military has improved the situation in the krasno-liman direction and repelled two attempts by ukrainian attack aircraft to attack. the enemy lost up to 300 fighters, weapons and equipment. we took more advantageous positions in donetsk. front repelled 13 attacks,

destroyed two american m-777 howitzers and two field warehouses. and also about the combat work of the russian military in different directions of the northern military district. in the forest near kremennaya, anti-aircraft gunners shot down ukrainian valkyrie-type aircraft drones. they conducted reconnaissance of our positions. the crew of the strela-10 air defense system was activated. neither a drone, nor a helicopter, nor an airplane can escape this. footage from the front line with evgeny lyamin. the tree looks like it has been cut a shell fragment in this area is the position of our artillerymen, the forest is under flint, the enemy is constantly firing, we were walking towards one of the guns when we heard machine gun fire, there can’t be a shooting battle here, it’s far from the line of combat contact, most likely they’re shooting at a drone, moving is prohibited , everyone is hiding behind the trees. here, here, here, she’s just behind a tree, she’s not visible, that’s it. clearly

visible in the gray sky, upon closer examination it turns out that most likely this is another drone, not a fury, but a valkyrie, both reconnaissance, they do not carry ammunition to be dropped; cameras are installed on them; the operator can adjust artillery fire in real time or conduct reconnaissance in search of the position of our crews. a few minutes later, shooting begins on the other side, they report a second drone, apparently everyone is looking there, do you see her? so the forest thundered for about 10 minutes, its shooting was moving further and further away from us , the valkyries flew away after the drone, but this does not mean at all that it was all over, portions of our crews in this area are being sent to everyone for cover, perhaps there will be an artillery strike , it’s difficult to shoot down a reconnaissance drone with small arms, even if you hit it, the bullet can pierce the wing and it will continue to fly, but

arrow 10 will not escape the anti-aircraft missile system, anti-aircraft gunners of the southern group of troops shoot down an enemy drone, this complex is capable of hitting several. time of day, hoping to remain unnoticed, but our intelligence officers conduct surveillance day and night, control the enemy’s approach to their forward positions, in these frames the crew of the carnet anti-tank missile system destroys a group of infantry. northern 200, watch when ready, open. and this is a shot

of the work of paratroopers of the dnepr group, the lancet loitering ammunition destroys the enemy crew with a mine. here the work covers large areas, so to speak, on a large scale. it is clear from the handwriting of the sea of ​​fire that it is hitting, a heavy flamethrower system of sleepers. 24 thermoboric missiles, they are capable of covering an area of ​​up to 40,000 km. fortified areas, command posts, and mass concentrations of infantry. from the air of our motorized riflemen at the forefront aviation supports, pairs of su-25 attack aircraft strike with unguided aircraft missiles at enemy equipment in the donetsk direction. one shell fire, tank crews, motorized riflemen, artillerymen, their work here is usually called combat duty , they replace each other, go about their daily lives, moving to firing positions, identifying the enemy, delivering strikes, many of them are volunteers of different ages, vasily,

actually number calculating the hurricane multiple launch rocket system, but while the cook is on vacation, he replaces him in the kitchen, how many you are old, uncomfortable. to speak, but i have been preparing for 65 years, he prepared specifically, the desire , of course, is to be there, to beat the enemy, to receive a baptism of fire, after a baptism of fire in life - says the unit commander, a lot changes, you begin to look at everything differently, here in their positions there is a church in the forest, it was made by the soldiers themselves, its doors are always open, we got this church from the tankers, uh, of the central military district, they erected it here, lit it, we have a lot of uh military personnel today.

shelling of a convoy that was carrying equipment to the airfield. the cargo was delivered on time without loss, thanks to which the control points established uninterrupted communication with the aircraft. in order to act coherently and effectively on the front line, our fighters regularly hone their skills at training grounds. conditions are as close to real as possible. experienced instructors try to bring the skills of their students to automaticity. often in combat there is a split second to make a decision. during the training of southern military units. district was observed by oleg shishkin, run over the tires laid out on the ground, dive under a wooden crossbar, jump over another, crawl under rows of barbed wire, all this through wet, heavy snow mixed with black soil and under gusts of wind that almost knock you off your feet. this

is a so-called psychological obstacle course, in addition to wooden hedgehogs, piles of stones, barbed wire, there are explosives everywhere, of course, for safety reasons, the soldiers were instructed where... there is no need to find, but when the explosions will occur, none of them knows, the task fighters - suppress the feeling fear, the first one went, to the right, to the left behind his back and even... along the route of movement there were explosions one after another, so that clods of earth were flying around , so many, after such exercises, not only had their ammunition soaked through, but also black, as if smoked faces, the house curtain corrodes the eyes, almost all the fighters are far from beginners, they have been in real battle more than once, clenched teeth move forward only the eyes give out the feeling of an explosion in the immediate vicinity of two-hundred-gram tratil bombs, and yet this charge is enough for a passenger car the car became a pile of metal. at every obstacle, a surprise awaited them, in the form of a pusher or a tripwire, there were explosions,

it was necessary to look at their reaction, how they behave, and, well, bring them to automatism, so that the next time in a similar situation , already in combat conditions, so that in the event of an explosion they would not they got lost, didn’t look around, didn’t turn their heads, and immediately found the nearest shelter. the instructor with the call sign khan has impressive combat experience; after being seriously wounded, doctors did not allow him to return to duty, and now for more than a year he has been passing on his skills to fighters, i will do everything to make sure he is ready. send no unprepared fighter to the line of combat contact, you understand, this is wrong, therefore our task, as instructors, is to bring them to automaticity, hone their skills and give maximum knowledge so that they can survive and complete a combat mission, here everyone has their own approach to how to suppress the feeling of fear is scary for everyone, and i’m scared, but just somehow pull yourself together, as they say, as i say, with the will to move forward, what else is there, there are no tricks here. various units of the southern military district are engaged in this training ground, there are many volunteers, romeo is one of the most experienced,

he has been in the northern military district zone for 18 months. my daughter asks me, dad, you’ve already been there, why are you going there again? i tell you to stay here as long as possible, this blue peaceful sky above you, so that you don’t see this disgusting thing that i saw here, destroyed schools, destroyed kindergartens, i already have a house, a wife, there are grandchildren, how could i i have achieved a lot in life, i must repay my debt to my homeland. a... let them raise their children, raise their grandchildren, build their own houses, let them grow up and be proud of us, like our grandfathers, just as we are proud of them, so they should be proud of us, goal 25, goal 25, goal 45, goal 45, body forward, we press our elbows, the instructor calls the number of the target and the fighters must, raising the machine gun, hit it in a split second, without preparation , practically without aiming, they work at distances of 30-50 m. goal 25. this technique is indispensable in close combat, but long training is required,

so that the barrel of the machine gun becomes as if an extension of the hand, in situations when there is no time there is no aiming, and the enemy is right in front of you, this saves your life. this exercise is designed to ensure that the fighter, without taking aim, quickly hits the enemy, if during contact, during an assault on the defenders, or in case of accidental contact, so that the fighter immediately hits the opponent, his opponent. classes are held every day from morning until... darkness, with a short break for lunch, each exercise is a reflection of a real combat situation, taking into account the experience of the north military district, new tactical techniques have appeared. the fighters came up with how to quickly install a device for remote detonation of a mine, which is triggered by an automatic bullet, using scrap materials in the field. know-how is used to organize ambushes, an accurate shot from cover and an explosion instantly sounds. olek shishkin, vladimir grineevich, andrey stoiko, channel one lugansk people's republic. and now a look from the other side.

those who served in them speak about the deplorable situation of the ukrainian armed forces at the front. of course, it can be a stretch to call this a service. many men sent to the trenches against their will, without supply training. it is not surprising that such soldiers choose life and surrender at the first opportunity. here is the story of a ukrainian who was seized by military commissars on his way to work. we arrived at the position, there was no support. they stood. nothing sacred or just another blasphemy, in ukraine they figured out how else to bargain with

moscow. the director of the state museum of the kiev-pechersk lavra reserve said that it would be nice to include the remains of prominent historical figures in some kind of exchange fund, to return to their homeland the ukrainians buried in russia, whom everyone supposedly forgot. the absurd idea will be publicly discussed. they want to start with the graves in the lavra itself. let me remind you that the russian prime minister, who was killed in kiev at the beginning of the last century, rests there. kiev's implementation of the minsk agreements to return peace to ukraine was in good faith , this was stated by russia's permanent representative to the un vasily nebenze at a meeting of the security council, it was dedicated to the ninth anniversary of minsk-2, precisely on february 12, 2015 in in the capital of belarus, a set of measures was signed to implement the agreements concluded back in september of the fourteenth year. the document provided for a ceasefire in the donbass,

the withdrawal of heavy weapons from the demarcation line and other steps that were supposed to lead to a long-term one.

than any city in the usa, it is much cleaner, safer and more beautiful aesthetically, its architecture, food, services are better than any american city. in fact, for us, residents of the capital, these words are not surprising, but when a star pronounces them american journalism, and even in the current political situation, this is truly an event. well, tucker carlson shared these impressions. now he is at the world government summit in dubai, and last week he was with us. not enough for work, for a cultural program, his interview with vladimir putin continues to break all records, in the x network alone, the number of views is approaching 200 million. our american correspondent, mikhail akinchenko, will learn more about everything. hardly, among the participants of the world government forum in dubai there is at least someone who missed vladimir putin’s interview with tucker carlson, and although

the american journalist posted the entire recording of the conversation online from the first to the last word, something had to remain because. did you feel that he was ready to compromise on ukraine, yes or no? of course, the very work of the leaders of any country on this planet, except perhaps the united states during the period of a unipolar world, forces us to seek a compromise. this is what is called diplomacy, and putin is among such leaders.

not the most popular person among me colleagues in the usa, i don’t listen to them too much, so i don’t think it’s a big loss, i don’t know what motivates them. i didn’t go to russia to advertise vladimir putin, and i’ve already said this, i went because the majority of americans, in whose name everything is being done, don’t know what ’s going on, they don’t know anything about the person with whom they’re supposed to , we are not officially at war, and i feel like my job is to give people information so they can make decisions. it was not easy to do this job. for the first time, according to carlson, he thought about the possibility of an interview with the president of russia 3 years ago, but then he was prevented, they tried to prevent him now, the journalist says, but for him it has already become a matter of principle. my country's intelligence agencies were working against me illegally , and this angered me because i am an american citizen, i am 54 years old, and i pay taxes, i obey the law, it is hard to believe that in

the america i grew up in, the government and its intelligence agencies, the nsa and the cia, who have always been... i was shocked by this, i was furious from this, and as soon as i discovered that this was really happening, when i was convinced of this, they themselves admitted it, i was filled with determination, maniacally surrendered to the idea of ​​​​taking this interview, not only because i want to know what vladimir putin is like and what he's thinking about a war that resets the world and causes serious damage to my country's economy, but because they told me, without any legal basis, that i couldn't do it. tucker carlson had the opportunity to evaluate life in russia in general. he not only looked into the former mcdonald's, he went into grocery supermarket, but became the guest of honor at the exhibition at vdnkh. of course, this is a showcase of all the best that. exists in our country, but this showcase is filled to capacity. it came as a shock to me that it was moscow, where i had never been before. it is the largest european city with 13 million inhabitants,

much nicer than any city in my country. my father was there in the eighties, when he worked for the american government, there was barely electricity there. it is much cleaner, safer and aesthetically more beautiful. her architecture, food, services are better than in any city in the usa, and this is not about ideology. how did this happen, if you can’t use the subway, like many in new york, because it’s very dangerous, maybe it’s worth thinking about the leader of the country, about the lack of electricity in moscow in the eighties, let it remain on the conscience of tucker carlson’s father, who , as you know, worked for american state propaganda, however, 40 years later, his son went to the russian capital with the same set of stamps, which in general was not very differs from the general ideas about russia in the west, deficit, devastation, poverty, such... life in our country is rarely seen from the other side of the atlantic, the stronger the contrast with reality. one of the things we have learned over the past two

years is that the industrial potential of the russian federation is much greater than we thought. russia, a country that has been called a gas station with nuclear weapons, has an easier time producing missiles and artillery shells than nato. and russia does all this with only one goal, so that protect myself. as for all these statements by western politicians about threats to eu countries.

above 40 billion rubles for the so-called far eastern concession, this is a special mechanism that serves as a great help for entrepreneurs. other topics include supporting farmers, as well as preparing for the games of the future. in kazan, they start next week. more details about everything anna kurbatova. the far east, russia doesn’t just begin here. the far eastern regions make up almost 40% of the territory of our country. at in this case, the far east was truly distant for a long time, when in 2013 the presidential... development of the district was a strategic priority for the entire 21st century, it was difficult to imagine that such a rise would occur here in a decade:

the cargo turnover of seaports increased by more than one and a half times, annual production gold, coal production has almost tripled , airports have been updated, new routes have appeared connecting the regions of the far east with other regions of the country, the rate of housing commissioning there is now ahead of the russian average, new schools are being built, modern clinics, this should continue to be the case, this was discussed in the government today at an operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, the government continues to implement plans for the social development of centers of economic growth, they involve the creation and modernization of infrastructure in demand by residents, these include kindergartens, schools, facilities housing and communal services, roads, one of the tools in the implementation of such projects is the far eastern concession, over the entire period this form of partnership has proven efficiency, we will now allocate over 40 billion rubles for its implementation. the investor creates the infrastructure, and the state returns the invested funds within 15 years. in 2022-23, 96 billion rubles have already been allocated under this form of partnership. and here's what. in

the magadan region, four schools, a rehabilitation center, a health center with a swimming pool, a ski stadium, and a marine tourism center in khabarovsk will be built. children's camp, far eastern art museum. a new community center will be built in the kamchatka region. and improvement of the central square of the regional capital, as well as a sports complex in chukotka, a modern ski resort in primorye and much more will be built in nine far eastern regions, a new historical stage, a renovation program for 25 far eastern cities, in which living conditions will be improved, and near vladivostok there will be a new satellite city on the shores of the amur bay. the development of the far east is one of our highest priorities, and we of course must provide for the citizens of these... subjects comfortable living conditions. another topic on the agenda is support for our farmers. in 2017, a program was launched under which farmers could take out a loan at

a preferential rate for production and what. for the competition, tickets are actively being sold , we see a huge, i would even say, rush demand, the tournament plans to be covered by more than 600 russian foreign media, both all-russian television channels and digital platforms vkplay and trova will be used for broadcasting. no one in the world has done this before. competitions for real and virtual platforms. this is fidhilfital - football, hockey, basketball or

, for example, robot battles. in drone racing. a two-week sports marathon in a completely new format. the games will be held at ten venues, nine in tatarstan and one in sochi. there will be formula 4 races and cool virtual races. over 270 teams will be able to express themselves in more than twenty disciplines at the intersection of traditional sports and digital information technologies. traditionally, volunteers will help at the games not only from russia, but also from foreign countries, more than 2.0 people in total. this open competition format is based on the principles of equality and fairness; russia has always maintained the position that sport should be outside of politics. sport in its purest form, to the motto faster, higher, stronger, now more technologically advanced will be added, and the first participants will be welcomed on february 15th. athletes and e-sportsmen from more than 100 countries are invited. i would like to wish our russian athletes a fair

fight and victories. the first unit of the akyuyu nuclear power plant, which is being built in turkey by rosatom, is more than ready 90%. this was stated today by the general director of the state corporation, alexey likhachev. he checked how the installation of the heaviest equipment at the site, the base of the generating system, was progressing. weight - 430 tons, length - 12 m. akyu, let me remind you, will be the first nuclear power plant in turkey. there will be four reactors in total, each with a capacity of 1,200 mw. the turkish project is the largest construction project on the planet; the state corporation rosatom is building the same four reactors in egypt, but here the first unit is already in its final stage, construction readiness is more than 90%, all the equipment of the nuclear island has been installed, and here in the marshal hall work is in full swing to launch the turbines and electricity generators. now to the news of the election

campaign. healthcare, technological sovereignty, industrial development, these are just some of the areas in which presidential candidates from political parties, new people, the ldpr, the communist party of the russian federation, as well as the co-chair of vladimir putin’s election headquarters, the head physician of the 52nd moscow hospital maryana lysenko, are working. ivan prozurov has all the details. here we have microscopy, everything new, molecular genetic laboratory, radiological research department, bone marrow transplantation department. this. republican center for children's oncology and hematology in ufa, which was launched on february 2 by vladimir putin. now the medical center was inspected by the co-chair of his election headquarters, the head physician of one of the capital’s clinics, maryana lysenko. the conversation turned to the development of the healthcare system taking into account modern challenges. taking into account the sanctions, taking into account those relationships, we must be sovereign, we need to strive for pharmaceutical independence, drug supply of all groups of drugs, both life-saving

drugs and...

with a high probability, we must proceed from this, this is the extreme battle between the forces of evil and nazism in human history, we must win, candidate from the new people party, vladislav davankov spoke with young people today at a private innovative it college in moscow. applicants enter here after the ninth grade; already in the second year they can begin a career as a programmer, designer, developer of games or security systems, special work. a large block about education, but for me all my life it has always been important that students, firstly, work in their specialty, and secondly, find themselves in that i am preparing my own large program, it includes

the city where they were born and where their small homeland, and i know that the college has many branches and the program is about the same floor in different cities, we met a candidate from... nikolai kharitonov laid flowers at the monument to the leader of the world proletariat, and then met with employees of an experimental instrument making plant, where they produce a large assortment of devices for computers, cars, led lamps, the team has more than 600 people, order, production culture, discipline, average wages, management, specialists, i think that today is exactly what an idea to chair. and the president , among other things, repeatedly says that we need to train engineers of the future, well, probably here we find a solution to all the issues, so it’s very pleasant that we surprised, and this is perhaps a distinctive feature of the current election campaign, a lot of

work for the development of the country together with voters from a variety of industries. ivan prozarov, pavel rudakov and sergey deev, channel one. the head of the pentagon was hospitalized for the second time since the beginning of the year. loyd. headquarters of the us armed forces, the white house and congress. it is unclear how long treatment will take. the fact that austin had prostate cancer became known after his first hospitalization. the fact that the authorities hid this fact from the public provoked a big political scandal. situation: the vaunted and expensive british aircraft carriers, one after another they stand up for repairs, instead of going on a large and loudly announced sea voyage. problems not only on the water, but on land, and also in the heads of british politicians who live

by imperial complexes and russophobic fantasies. our correspondent in london, pavel krasnov, continue the topic to see with your own eyes how the pride of the british fleet, the aircraft carrier prinzuelsky, goes to sea at the berths. last minute local newspapers they conveyed a dry message from the defense department, the ship’s departure from the port is postponed indefinitely. the aircraft carrier prince of wales is due to depart portsmouth shortly, subject to suitable weather conditions and tides, any further updates on departure times will be published at a later date. and all this could have been a simple misunderstanding, if not for the feeling of déjà vu. just a week ago i was supposed to set sail.

the british have good reason to be unhappy here. queen elizabeth prince's two twin ships cost country in a record amount of 3 billion pounds each, while they were supposed to become a symbol of naval power. the queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers are the largest and most powerful ever built for the royal navy. prince of wales weight 65. tone, length 280 m. maximum speed. since construction , both ships have spent most of their time not at sea, but in repair docks. the song rule britain the seas has been known since the 18th century, against this background it sounds almost like a mockery, the british

fleet undoubtedly has a rich history, but perhaps his glory really is a thing of the past. troubles with aircraft carriers are far from the only ones; photographs were leaked to the press not long ago. instead of missile launchers , they installed them on new aircraft. treadmills, weapons turned out to be too expensive, the scandal with a nuclear submarine was even louder, it turned out that workers attached parts for cooling the reactor with superglue, but if you listen to local politicians, the british army is still one of the strongest. in many ways, defense is the cornerstone of our relations on the world stage, where great britain remains a preferred partner, because we have the best combat-ready army in the world, our advanced industrial enterprises are ready to support our allies. london is also trying to play a leading role in supporting kiev, for example, by training ukrainian soldiers. the only question is why there is a video

of one of these training sessions on the internet, something similar to today’s britain, where loud words are not always backed up by deeds. i would say that the british have phantom pain. you know, like when some the organ has already been cut off, amputated, and a person still feels it, so they feel a non-existent empire, this is the desire to recreate a non-existent one. a certain coverage area larger than its borders, this is what characterizes all modern british politics and boris johnson , all the pale prime ministers who came to him, well , in fact, the queen and the current king charles, it really, well, is devoid of any prospects, send to sea the british will be able to carry an aircraft carrier for sure sooner or later, the question is for how long, in the past the prince of wales already had to return to the port in tow, so his participation

with egypt. according to arab media, at least 100 people became victims of the bombing. palestinian reports that the bodies of 67 victims have already been found. debris clearance continues. to return their lands occupied by israel, we are

obviously talking about the dutch heights, for which israel and syria have already fought. a planned flight over the neutral waters of the barintsevo and norwegian seas was carried out by two tu-95 long-range strategic missile carriers. duration was more than 5 hours. the bakedonians were accompanied by russian sub-35s, and on certain sections of the route by fighters from foreign countries. the flight was carried out in strict accordance with international rules, our ministry of defense emphasized. and now about the one who has become a real legend in the world of aviation. galina brockbeltsova, a veteran of the great patriotic war, the only living female navigator from the 125th air regiment, turns 99 today. including its participants, the germans later called them night witches. on such a dive bomber, this is a winged the pe-2 machine, brock beltsova, made dozens of sorties, smashing the fascists like a woman. indeed, cold-blooded and selfless

, fate gave galina pavlovna a long and incredibly interesting life, and looking back, now she remembers not only everyday life at the front, but great love, yuri shcherbakov was lucky enough to hear the story, and our pawn became a queen, i repeat with joy, i’m proud that our fighting friend did not let us down. and pawns, as galina brockbeltsova affectionately calls the pe-2 dive bomber. last of the living women navigators of the great patriotic war, she seems ready to talk for hours. when i come and see her, i think you need to have such a head, such a cadre of scientists, engineers, designers, to create such beauty. she has dozens of combat missions under her belt. belarus, stalingrad, leningrad, caucasus, kursk, baltic states, east prussia. those places where, together with the crew, she beat the fascist troops. the pawn

was brilliant; it had several firing points. the navigator has a submachine gun, a birch tree, the gunner has the tail, in the tail, the gun is standing dead. when the war began, a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl volunteered for the military registration and enlistment office. after training as a dive bomber navigator, she was sent to the women's air regiment named after.

aviation became one big family for her , which determined her entire future fate, she found her husband here, or rather, he found her and sought her out, the squadron commander, pilot az, georgy beltsov, trained female recruits, he shows me the elements of diving and pitching. turns and such class, he seemed to show himself, felt like you you cover his back at this moment , you felt me ​​as a member of the crew, after training i was separated by the war, distribution to different fronts, communication was maintained by letters,

the first meeting was only six months after the victory, immediately a marriage proposal, but i was not ready for education. dad's boot on a person's soul. 60 years of marriage gave them three children, seven grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, for each of whom they are a true example of true family values ​​of selfless love for the homeland.

guest of honor at parades on red square, she didn't miss any of them. each time , looking with admiration at those, including those for whom she risked. north korea, a distant , mysterious , unexplored, closed country, visiting which at least once is an experience of a lifetime, but hardly any of you know that there are ski resorts in the dprk, the level is more than decent, and this will be confirmed our tourists, the russian group visited the dprk for the first time after a long break, and of course, not only mountains, excursions, local... see try there is something, gennady kortelev in i was convinced of this: one of the most closed countries in the world, after all, it’s very difficult and interesting, i saw different things, that is, completely different countries, contrasts, yes, but i think that north korea will surprise. the news about the opportunity to go to north korea as a tourist appeared only in december last

year and caused a stir among russians. it was assumed that the trip could take place with a group of at least 50 people, but there were so many people who wanted to relax in canter that here... the company even had to create a waiting list, in the end 100 people were going on the trip people, these are not only far easterners, there are residents of the urals, siberia, the caucasus, muscovites and even kaliningraders. the tour lasts 4 days. this is certainly a breakthrough, this is an outstanding event in the development of relations between our two countries. our visit is, well, the result of an agreement at the highest level between governments, between the leaders of our two countries, who, as you remember, met. all tourists calmly go through customs control, a standard procedure. luggage inspection. we see what tourists took with them ski equipment suitcases filled with warm things. despite the fact that it is now 4°c in kinyan, it will still be cool in the mountains. in general, people took with them everything they wanted, including laptops and phones. it is curious that the dprk officially lifted the ban on imported gadgets into the country only in january last year. all
