does she really read minds or not? premiere. anna ostrovskaya investigative committee. she has special gifts. who are you all looking at? maybe this dream of mine is somehow connected with this matter. and do you know who the killer is? yes. look, just no amateur performances. stand still,
1:31 am
don’t move, for some reason i trust you. anna is a medium, watch it before anyone else, in the app or on the website. dear friends, i invite you to watch reruns of our original program besagon tv. i hope you have them. remember and enjoy.

this device is called a sequinator, we use it to read and decipher genomes using names, they read ancient dna like a book, in fact this is what dna is.
1:33 am
which carries the history of a person, the history of a population, they work with incredibly fragile and rare material that has reached us through many millennia, and even up to a million years, and maybe even up to 2 million years, and dna suitable for analysis can be isolated. who are field geneticists and why their scientific work is so important for all humanity. history is based on writing. what exactly is possible find out from ancient dna where scientists take samples for their historical research, and also why the country's leading geneticists, archaeologists, and anthropologists have united in a consortium. our most ambitious task is to build the genetic history of the peoples living on the territory of russia.

elizaveta rozhdestvenskikh puts on protective clothing to work in a sterile laboratory; such serious equipment is necessary to exclude the influence of external factors on the research results. we turn out to be such snowmen. elizabeth a geneticist at sirius university studies ancient dna, which can be several hundred thousand years old. not a single speck of modern dust should fall on unique materials. it is a well-known fact that dust is mostly human epithelial cells. and just like that, it just might fly off at some point. from your face,
1:35 am
or with a stream of air, also fly out of the nasal cavity, like this... these are biologists, these are historians, these are archaeologists, anthropologists and this whole large scientific community, it makes a contribution, at least bit by bit, but he contributes. using ancient dna, scientists can
1:36 am
trace the history of individual peoples and all of humanity, for example, find out what our ancestors ate and drank, and restore their appearance, hair and eye color. find out what they were sick with, what kind of lifestyle they led, how they settled around the planet and other important information. in essence, such dna is a kind of time capsule that carries the history of a person, the history of a population, and thanks to the fact that we can study it, we can read it, we can find answers to those questions that were thought to be answered. .. and it’s not there at all and it can’t be. behind each such study is colossal, virtually jewellery, work. geneticists themselves compare the analysis of ancient samples with the deciphering of ancient books, in which many pages are missing, and those that have survived are badly

damaged. just imagine that these volumes, these works of art , for example, were torn up, all the text into... pieces, then dumped all this in a heap somewhere , so that - for some time it would still deteriorate. this is about the same thing, here we are, when we receive the material, we have dealing with dna. evgeny ragaev - doctor of biological sciences, twice awarded the russian state prize for the creation of genetic identification methods and for identifying the gene responsible for the development of alzheimer's disease. for many years he has been applying his experience to solve historical problems; it was he who put the proof point on the issue of the authenticity of the remains of the royal family, and now he is leading a major scientific project to study the ancient population. our most ambitious task is to build
1:38 am
the genetic history of the peoples living on the territory of russia, and starting from, i would not even say peoples, peoples is a concept that has well... different definitions and often causes a certain wariness, but the genetic history of cultures, people, people , populations on different in different territories of russia. as part of these large-scale studies, a consortium was created, which included the country's leading organizations and communities in the field of genetics, archeology, anthropology, such as moscow state... lomanosov university, federal biotechnology research center, iran institute of archeology and others. for the first time, we concentrated on the russian alignment or the eastern european alignment, that is, a vast area, if you take collections, there are thousands of samples there,
1:39 am
collected in different museums, archaeological institutes, in general, research is quite expensive, so well... you need to concentrate on something first, they manage the work and coordinate processes at sirius university, here, on the basis of the center of genetics and life sciences, there are conditions modern equipment necessary for sequencing, that is, deciphering historical dna. this device is called a sequinator; we use it to read and decipher the genome of our research. our dna preparation is loaded onto such a flow cell. that we want to read, it is distributed over the cell, from such a cell we receive up to 10 billion reads, which we then analyze on computing servers and compare with each other. in these laboratories
1:40 am
, scientists directly analyze ancient samples, incredibly rare and fragile, according to because of their age - the material that archaeologists and anthropologists provide them with. dna preparations are preserved for thousands, even up to a million years, and maybe even up to 2 million years, and dna suitable for analysis can be isolated. photos of geneticists take place in several stages, mainly in the so- called clean zone, where access to outsiders is strictly prohibited. ancient dna, as we have already said, is extremely degraded, that is, these are pieces several tens of nucleotides long, there is very little of it, that is, we we can very easily contaminate it with dna from the surface of our skin, so all studies are carried out in special protective overalls, but not because we are afraid that something will jump onto us from this bone, but because we are very afraid. that something will fall from us during this check. andrey monakhov graduated from
1:41 am
the faculty of biology of moscow state university and has been working in the laboratory of evgeniy ragaev for more than 10 years, under whose supervision he conducted a number of important studies. we make bones talk, tell us their story, and dna is a kind of record, which, as it turns out, is not subject to time. for example, they managed to prove that the curl attached to the portrait of tsysarevich was alexei. all in romanov symbols, two romanov griffins, the symbol of the royal house and the initial of tsarevich alexei, the letter a. under the royal crown. alexey nikolaevich is depicted in the uniform of the ataman of all cossack troops, and here
1:42 am
he is 10-12 years old. experts have established that the portrait was painted after the death of the tsarevich, based on his photograph or a printed postcard. watercolor, brushes of artist vsevol dagulevich. there is his autograph on the edge, under the glass, also in a circle. under the portrait, under the glass, there is a curl of literally several dozen light brown hairs, well, about a centimeter. evgeny lukyanov, a senior researcher at the state historical museum, talks about the amazing fate of the exhibit; he personally found it many years ago in the storerooms; the portrait had no accompanying description, and the keepers knew nothing about it. how i would like to believe that this is lokan tasarevich alexey, but there is no
1:43 am
documentary evidence we had no scientific origins for this thing. after a while, evgeniy managed to reliably find out that the watercolor entered the museum’s collections from belgrade in 1947, but one more question remained: who actually belonged to it in the capsule directly under the image.
1:44 am
archaeological expeditions in different parts of the russian federation and in the south, north and west and east, they bring a large amount of archaeological material, this gives us the opportunity, as they say, to immediately do analyzes. these monuments so that trace various important things, including for archaeologists. these items are from the aglahty burial ground. it is located on the territory of modern khakassia, not far from the capital of the republic, the city of abakan. the ancient archaeological site was discovered in 1902, and a year later the first excavations began, and here on the table are just some of those very early finds. the right leg of a teenager,
1:45 am
samples were also taken from him to understand some age, whether it is a girl or a boy, in addition, braids are also presented here, but we do not know which one whether it is a person or not, or two different people, just genetic studies can tell us whether this person is the same or different, with the help of genetic examination , find out additional information about the exhibits in order to more accurately restore the history of people who lived in the 3-4 centuries ad , the period in which the aglakhty mogi dates back to.

ally of history, one of the striking examples of this is the mizmay cave, located in the south of russia. almost 40 years ago it was discovered by lyubov golovanova, a st. petersburg archaeologist. mezmayskaya cave is located high in the mountains krasnodar region. and it is located in unique conditions that contribute to the preservation of organic matter. and every year, in winter, the entrance to the cave is closed by snow. therefore, these are cold, damp conditions, they contribute to the good preservation of organic matter in the bones, the cultural layers of this monument date back tens of thousands of years and belong to the middle paleolithic era, the cave became known throughout the world after the burial of two neanderthals was discovered there, a rare find, later archaeologists came across
1:47 am
one more sample, bone fragment, for analysis which was undertaken at sirius university, russian paliogeneticists studied a neanderal tooth, which was identified by russian anthropologists as a nienderal tooth. polyogeneticists performed an analysis and determined that it was a girl aged 3-5 years. numerous studies of neanderthal remains have shown that approximately.
1:48 am
also, very important interesting observations were made during the covid-19 epidemic, and it is tentatively estimated that about 100 thousand who died during this epidemic had neonatal genes. all this knowledge has become available to humanity thanks to paleognetics. of course, archaeologists or anthropologists can also calculate a lot from ancient materials, but at the same time. scientists themselves jokingly compare this kind of separate expert approach to the parable of the elephant and the blind wise men. they each speak, they really state the facts, but they do not have an overall picture, like this - unfortunately, history can take shape when we see the process incorrectly. it is precisely in order to
1:49 am
create a holistic picture of the life of our ancestors, the institute of archeology of russia...

multiple pits are visible in the bone eye sockets; experts interpret them as traces of physiological stress, which this child regularly experienced during his lifetime; this was an individual most likely in poor health, which is also important for understanding. scientists call ancient human remains the word individual, emphasizing a personal approach in their research, in which each found sample is studied in detail in order to derive a general... research is certainly very advantageous.
1:51 am
however, for dna extraction it is not necessary use exclusively bone fragments, geneticists say. molecular traces of ancient people could potentially be found on dishes, household items, tools, jewelry, and clothing. we leave. there are a lot of traces, yes, and someday someone can study these traces, in fact, this is how they do it, now they collect soils, extract dna from the soil, and in this dna they find dna fragments of ancient people. tatyana andreeva, one of the leading russian geneticists, has long studied alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, defended her dissertation on this topic, now...
1:52 am
the research took place at the institute of general genetics in moscow, and here, for the first time in the country, the necessary conditions were created for working with ancient dna. these were specially renovated premises in which work with modern samples had never been carried out. a separate one is installed in these rooms. also, according to tatyana andreeva, it was in the process of identifying the royal remains that their team thought out special approaches and methods for geneticists working
1:53 am
with rare source material. these were single tiny, unique bone fragments, and we understood that we had no room for error, that is, we must obtain maximum, complete, accurate information on the first try. for a long time, similar studies were carried out abroad , where they sent ancient samples found in russia, but a number of discoveries have already been made in western laboratories, for example, a previously unknown form of fossil, the so-called denisovan man, has been described, but the situation is changing in our country. conditions necessary for such complex genetic processes. it is very important that our research, carried out in... first of all, on the territory of our country completely, they prevent the export of valuable archaeological samples that are of cultural and historical value for our
1:54 am
country, we prevent them from flowing to other countries, they are preserved with us , and the databases that we receive are also stored on the territory of our country and are analyzed by our researchers. modern equipment and proven techniques allow, according to andrei monakhov, to study no longer single materials, as was the case back in the early 2000s, but dozens and even hundreds, which has significantly reduced the cost of historical dna analysis. so, over several years, as part of a project to study the ancient population of the russian plain, our scientists analyzed more than five thousand archaeological samples and formed genetic profiles of people who lived on earth many millennia ago.

almost all schools also teach russian as a foreign language, but you know, it seems to me that in russian-chinese relations there is no

unimportant periods. history, according to our statistics, we have invested about 22 billion dollars in kazakhstan, the twenty-fourth year is the year of the volunteer movement, which is showing more and more interest in russian technologies. what happened here on february 24-25? social networks, calls, sending out fake news, going to a rally, all

pr agencies tied to the west were involved in order... to incite regional local riots. the main task is to capture the enemy people not physically, but ideologically, to bring confusion into their soul confusion. this is the surest path to victory in the war. the content and the agenda itself are formed by hundreds of people, professional people from the state, who spend their entire lives influencing minds. i personally trained in ipso courses, there are chats where it works. task, today we are scaring the belarusians that the russians will force them to fight , tomorrow against the dagestanis, which means that they will take to the streets, remember when we endlessly explained that our country is not the same, that we should be infinitely ashamed already, because we are russian , this was the real one hybrid war.
