a dissident is a very active civic position, my father’s position was that he lived as if not noticing the soviet power, yes, i understand perfectly well, i am aware that you need to be allowed to do this, it is necessary that when they arrived in 1945, they did not end up in the gulag, because many ended up, we are such a happy family that no one among us ended up in the gulag, and of course, the figure of lev nikolaevich is like a classic of russian literature and a mirror of the russian revolution.

somehow they probably tried several times, but it was clear that this was useless, you know, it’s also a story that they lived before the revolution, then a tragedy happened, then they lived abroad, and for them the feeling in russia was that everything would pass, power, power.. this one will pass, another government will pass, but russia will remain, when my mother remembers, yes, because my mother is a soviet person, she was born in moscow, she was not in any emigration, she asked, she says, i was still young and asked. ilya ilvich, my grandfather, that same one a white officer, an emigrant, and so on, she asked, what do you think about the soviet regime, and he very calmly said, well , when will it all collapse? well, there are still 20, 15-20. it will all pass, it will all collapse, but he

didn’t live, he didn’t live, he died in 1970, but it collapsed exactly then, approximately when he did, and what does dad think about it, he and he said, why did my mom ask, he said , everything was rotten, and my father, well, he seemed to live outside of soviet reality, outside of politics, no, of course, we in the evenings, i all the time we lived to these voices and so on, but it was clear that you could do your job, regardless of the soviet one.

and so somehow, i know, we are often asked by descendants, well, how were you raised, what kind of special upbringing did you have there, and so on, but it wasn’t, and what are your family traditions, but what am i -i can’t say anything, but now i understand what my upbringing was like, the main idea in my upbringing was what happiness that we are in russia, what happiness that we are here, and he just talks about it almost every day he said when i was studying at the philology department in the nineties, and well, if i say.

a very difficult life, and somehow, well, of course, they dreamed of returning, they returned, they were soon turning 50, yes, for some, that is, the main part of their life had already passed, although they were still very happy in russia, but my father, who came, he was 22, of course, it happened, and this is a great happiness, this is a great, great success, thank you very much, dear thekla, for this wonderful conversation, this... was a podcast life of wonderful people you

i'm alexey varlamov, my guest was fyokla tolstaya, a famous russian journalist, tv presenter and daughter of nikita ilyech tolstov. which we had such a wonderful conversation about today. thank you. hello, the sunday time program is about the events of this day of the outgoing week. current element. help without delay. it is necessary to organize the assessment work in a timely manner. on time,

just without pauses. the water is leaving, the commissions should work immediately. big water, where it has decreased and where it is just arriving. bogdanovka is ours, ahead of the clock, the position of this company allows you not only to work on enemy cover using a mortar, but also to burn their dugouts with the help of an anti-tank gun. it’s better for the front, you need to get a machine gun from 12.7, then our assault troops, so to speak, will be provided with this, there is close combat ahead, so to speak.

the sowing season is difficult, as you can see, the winter wheat is now turning green, but this field is simply overgrown with weeds, all because of one shell, plow according to proven principles, food security, that too, floods, the topic of the week, let’s look at it in detail, orenburg region, what changed after the first alarming news on april 5-6? ural river, flow from east to west. the vorsky water level has been decreasing all days since monday, the total decline is a meter. the critical level is over, life is gradually getting better. in orenburg, by the end of the week the water in the urals is still above the red mark of 9 m. but nevertheless, the level here is decreasing steadily. the village of ilek.

there the wave arrived in the middle of the week, passing through a critical level, however, here too, although small, there is a downward trend. there is a river in kurgan. water level has stabilized there is a decline, it was gaining a meter a day, already by wednesday, having found itself above the dangerous line, and the tyumen region, the city of ishim on the river of the same name, here the dynamics are even more noticeable, the water has risen more than three times within a week, the situation is not helping the victims vladimir putin releases from personal control. on wednesday , the meeting with ministers was largely devoted to precisely this. andrey golderev from the place about the main problem.

houses in the water, aerial footage speaks for itself, the entire right-bank part of the suburb is flooded, this is what the right bank looks like now. mound, where the private sector, several microdistricts at once, more than 100 snt, it is clear that the water is already up to the roof, the first floors are flooded and the water came in just a few days. over the past 2 weeks, the entire region has been watching how the level in the tabol river is changing; a colossal volume of water, according to rough estimates, a billion cubic meters, has been flowing into the city. a suburb of kurgan, one of the snt, large water has entered several streets into residential buildings, here you can see that the level is above the waist and, according to local residents, the water continues to remain. in total , more than 60 settlements in the region were in the flood zone, but kurgan itself took the brunt of the blow; for comparison, this was still the case here. even at the beginning of the week , now i’m going down the stairs to the first

line, the water level in the tobol river here is already above 6 m, the dangerous mark is considered when it’s above eight. according to local residents, just yesterday there was no water here, now it is above the waist. after 3 days, the water rose to a record 10 m, exceeding the maximum of ninety- four years. many of the local residents are not they believed that big water would come. we talked with valerie 2 weeks ago. why don't you want to go? where will we go? now his yard looks like this, his wife shows, there is a path, you can go forward, that is, here it is, everything was standing there, now it’s just all floating, the sandbox has surfaced, it’s scary, very scary, rescuers have been driving around the area around the clock for several days now flooded areas are evacuated.

volunteers and local residents themselves keep the sirens going on, reminding them that those who need to evacuate in the flood zone are informing the population that people know what is happening, this is the first thing, and what will happen, this gives a certain peace of mind, it will be in the future, but we will increase this work, vaccination against hepatitis a is underway, the quality of water in water pipes is now under special control , hundreds of samples from all over the region are delivered daily to the regional laboratories, with them...

the water is safe for consumption. the situation with floods is under control of the head of state. on behalf of vladimir putin, head of relevant federal structures work in a flood zone. in orsk and orenburg they have already begun assessing the damage. 35 commissions have been created in the orenburg region, which have already promptly inspected more than 1,200 houses. as the water becomes freed, we will strengthen the working groups in order to quickly carry out the work.

so that no one can deceive you, the situation in the region is under the control of several ministries at once, a separate issue is assistance to farmers, because the agricultural season is already ahead, orsk has been suspended. operation of an oil refinery, that is the orenburg region needs to very seriously control the availability of fuel. finally, regional veterinary services should, if necessary, quickly organize places for temporary housing of farm animals and monitor very carefully, dear

colleagues, the provision of biological safety in the flood zone. restoration work is underway. volunteers from all over the orenburg region have arrived, are drying out houses, and are continuing to clean up the streets to help clean the streets. the president once again reminds us what is needed first to help flood victims across the country. i want to say thank you to all my colleagues from the regions, i see that you are working hard and i hope this will continue until the issues related to the restoration of infrastructure and housing are resolved. river transport, residential buildings were demolished, and due to congestion, water made its way into some areas of the city. look how terrible it is, there is probably about half a meter of water in the apartments, everything was in the water on the floor, 30 cm from the floor there was water, but

the bebel floated away, that in the refrigerators they are standing still, on the verada, the refrigerator floated away, it it was light and empty. sailed away, the water is approaching the tyumen region, people there are taken from potential flood zones in advance to temporary accommodation centers, there are people who do not believe that the water will come, but i don’t hope that the water will not come, the water will come, all of kazakhstan is flooded, relatives they called and said, leave urgently, don’t sit, don’t wait like an unbelieving thomas, the prognosis for this subject is unfavorable, if the current values ​​of discharges from reservoirs on the territory of kazakhstan are maintained, the worst is possible sunary of the development of the situation. water in the ishim and tabol rivers could rapidly rise to hazardous levels. flooding of private residential areas is predicted . according to the latest forecasts, more than 100 settlements may be flooded in the region,

which is twice as many as experts expected the day before in the risk zone of over 17 thousand residents.

zaitsev and evgeny kuznetsov. first channel. let's move on to the special operation. novomikhailovka, the one that is a little south of marinka and southwest of donetsk. judging by reports from the field, our the unit knocks out militants from the outermost houses. the liberation of this settlement will make it possible to straighten the front just to marenka, and move in the opposite direction to ugledar. and reports from the ministry of defense. video confirmation of destroyed targets. this is ukrainian. at the dnepr airfield , aircraft weapons detonated, a precise strike on the s-300 air defense complex, a launcher, a radar control center, and a drone production workshop, a pelican all-round radar, were also hit, 194 were shot down in 24 hours drone and today, the ministry of defense

announced that the settlement of bogdanovka was liberated in one of the key areas near chasov yar. russian. troops are pushing back the enemy there on the main approaches, they are covering the city from the flanks in the north, just near bogdanovka, our military correspondent gusein huseynov is working at the attack aircraft positions. we have direct visibility of the enemy, so from time to time we observe during the day, binoculars, at night, a thermal imager, everything is clearly visible, we observe the places for the supply of ammunition, dugouts. restores at night, we restored the point in a week, today we will destroy it, most often they take the enemy by surprise, cover them with fire during the rotation of personnel, disrupt them, the enemy, in

turn, tries to respond, more often with the use of drones, one of them just the other day tried to attack the company commander with the call sign chest of drawers, when she flew closer, like that, i saw that she was with a reset, here, but i ran out of cartridges.

the mortar crew is working, they have now fired two mines at enemy positions, there is a forest plantation a little further ahead, now we are waiting for an adjustment from the commander, the flight time is about 30-35 seconds, kamina birch, accept the correction, east - 40, north - 30, when ready, one fire, a mine,

in the next dugout the drone operators are preparing their gifts for the militants, that’s what they call the shells dropped from drones are standard ammunition for the gs-17 automatic grenade launcher. our units are in active defense, albeit not everywhere, but the front is moving, rare artillery shelling is all that the ukrainian armed forces are now responding to, volunteers say, heavy the enemy does not use armored vehicles here. everything that was there had long since been burned by these two fighters, the anti-tank crew. the position of this company

allows not only to work against enemy cover using a mortar, but also to burn their dugouts with the help of anti-tank guns. two friends since childhood, they are here together, they have served in the airborne forces and three volunteer contracts. the senior crew with the call sign silence is getting ready soon. anastasia, i love you very much, i will see you very soon, the fact is that the girl will accept the proposal, the guy will not he doubts, just as he doubts that after the wedding he will definitely return here, without the strong shoulder of a comrade in arms, there is no way here at the front, the military says. at the shortest distance from the enemy, a large-caliber uty machine gun works, often the commander himself takes it, well, they have a path along which they

constantly move, so so that they do not feel entrusted, we send them gifts in the form of 12.7. the position of the machine gunner is a large, visible point, so it is constantly changing, not only fire fighters are equipping it points, but dugouts, as far as one’s strength and imagination allows. you can see the rug on the wall, our slavic flag is hanging , it’s already more pleasant at home, the full-length dugout at the front can be said to be luxury, but the commander did his best, the flooring is three rolls, electricity from the generator, a soft bed and a gas burner, a tourist breakfast, like many here, a chest of drawers in the northwestern military district almost from the very beginning, he was wounded more than once for his military merits and was awarded the order of courage. his third contract is ending ; he won’t stop there yet getting ready, now i’ll go on vacation for the fourth month to continue... until we win.

gusein guseinov, farid muslimov, boris chuchupalov and pavel evdokimenko. first channel donetsk people's republic. promising weapons, tested in the special operation zone, should go to syria faster. this applies to drones of all types, from fpv drones to reconnaissance evacuation systems. dozens of these vorodets were shown to sergei shaig at a training ground in the moscow region. the minister of defense inspected several military-industrial complex enterprises this week. production output increased, but it is important that small companies also offer their developments. oleg shishkin, more details. this is the first footage of tests of the newest combat module “courier”, it works for up to three days without recharging, and maintains communication with the operator at a distance of up to 10 km. this robot is a true universal soldier, can be a machine gunner, grenade launcher, sapper or reconnaissance, depending on the surveillance weapons restored on the tracked platform. the idea

of ​​using robots instead of humans in combat zones is not new. they were the first to implement it enthusiasts, almost on their knees, creating prototypes: a tracked drone called bratishka, originally from kazan, can evacuate the wounded from the battlefield, and this is the know-how of the craftsmen from the repair brigade of the 255th regiment, a radio-controlled four-wheeled platform designed for transporting ammunition and transporting soldiers. this baby can deliver a load weighing up to 150 kg over 12 kilometers, thanks to its small dimensions, it is difficult to detect from the air, and even a couple of years ago the use of robots in armed forces conflicts seemed like a thing of the distant future, now an unmanned protective capsule for evacuating the wounded is already entering mass production. built-in rap, camouflage smoke, heat traps, such a medical armored car is difficult to hit from the ground from the air, and most importantly there is no risk for military doctors, there is nothing more expensive than human life, of course at

the front you have to try them all.

it is very important now that we have a so-called private military-industrial complex, a huge number of small large companies that offer revolutionary solutions focus either on medical products, sniper weapons, we have world-class companies, all this thanks to the fact, including targeted targeted support from the state. if previously testing at testing grounds took months, or even years, now it is possible to test samples immediately on the battlefield. position. defense, if there are no complaints about the new products after testing in the north-eastern military district zone, launch them into production without delay. by the end of may we will make 30 pieces, just like that, not enough, many discoveries and solutions that have proven their efficiency, were not born in the pleasure of design bureaus, but actually on the battlefield, i can’t remember who was the first to come up with the idea of ​​welding protective grilles onto armored vehicles from kamikaze drones, the so-called mangaly,

now... this is an element of the tank’s standard equipment, which is installed immediately at the factory in omsk, where modernized t-80 vvms are produced. the samples that are now going to the front are very different from what was originally included in the technical specifications. now the eighty has special materials, which make the tank invisible to a thermal imager, and a new generation of dynamic protection relic and mobile electronic warfare complex. last time we were here, we looked at the sight protection. sight protection, it exists, yes, serina, yes, of course, the tank also received a new , more powerful engine, it is produced at a plant in kaluga, the first order from omsk in the last 30 years, during this time it was possible not to lose either personnel or production base , here in the united states there is a program for the production of gas turbine engines for abramsov was a complete failure. during all this time, the americans have not been able to establish production, then it was stopped in the eighties and nineties, now

there is no production of gas turbine engines for abrams tanks, and now we... t-80 tanks have completed a full cycle of their modernization and production, in including the restoration of production of gas turbine engines. experts believe that it is the inability or unwillingness to keep up with the times. made expensive abrams and leopards of easy prey for cheap drones. according to analysts at the share of our attack drones accounts for up to 2/3 of the total number of destroyed enemy armored vehicles. and drone experts constantly receive feedback from the front, from soldiers, experts, and military journalists. the guys are complaining about this, they would like this, so we can develop this direction. and on the one hand there are hardware engineers, yes, and on the other hand there are software engineers, that is. predators who set up, that is, develop, but here are the software capabilities, we have several dozen such private design bureaus are now working on the development of drones, from fpv drones, such a small range of action

to tactical drones, here is the result of this work: a promising attack quadcopter, can carry mines, and wogs, and grenades, universally there are drops for various ammunition so that a military man could use any ammunition that he received 30... the minister of defense was shown a line of drones with a payload from 10 to 200 kg, this is many times more than that of the enemy baba yaga, but the whole point is in the filling, thanks to the unique, as experts say multi-band communication system, a drone cannot be jammed by means of electronic warfare, we will now create a center for scientific production, well, at the same time, a design bureau for all unmanned aerial vehicles. it’s good to finance it through procurement, so that they don’t stop, create laboratories with them, then it will all come together and it will be a big unification. according to the minister, it is necessary for new products to reach the front as quickly as possible, without bureaucratic failures of delays; this is no less important

task than the development of promising types weapons. oleg shishkin, irina bliznyuk, kristina neznanova, channel one. russia is ready for negotiations with ukraine, but conversations with zelensky are pointless, foreign minister sergei lavrov said. in an interview with sputnik radio stations, moscow and komsomolskaya pravda said that if it comes to new contacts, then the special operation will not be suspended for their sake, he added. in the meantime, the kiev regime and its western curators are pushing through a plan for a so-called peace conference in switzerland. without our participation, but with a certain zelensky formula for peace. there there are three things that the west needs: the surrender of russia and a retreat to...

he equips himself, runs out and is actually one of the first to be on the spot, and the first thing he begins to do is help people, we met many years ago, back in syria in business trip, it was then that i saw what a passionate person he was, passionate about his profession, passionate in general, probably, about life in general, they say, a good guy is not a profession, yes, it’s not a profession, it’s a talent, not even a good guy , good man, this is a rare great talent. and of course, nuclear terrorism. since the beginning of april, ukrainian raids on the zaporozhye nuclear power plant have resumed. the power unit dome and cargo port, a unique training center and canteen. they were targeted at a facility where international

atomic energy agency observers work. they see from...
