year and there i would say that the key indicator is made on economic parameters, roads, housing, there is energy consumption, that is , such specific metric things, as for trust, there is no such indicator at all, which is now generally a key parameter, here are all colleagues they talked about it, the all-russian student rescue corps is 23 years old, an event in honor of this date is being held in moscow today. participants include industrial climbers, rescue sailors, and volunteer firefighters. in total, the corps now numbers 800 people. branches operate in almost all regions of the country. we continue to provide assistance to special services today during flooding. we also provide humanitarian assistance to the residents of donbass and novorossiya. our organization is increasing.

artists, art critics and simply fashionable people are eager to come people, artists are trying, if not to participate, then to at least exhibit in a small gallery, to come and talk about art. russia participated and successfully; since the beginning of the 20th century, we have had our own national pavilion, created by the great shchusiv. semyon mikhailovsky was the commissioner of our pavilion from 2014 to 2019, inclusive. the main exhibition, for me, is, of course, the theater exhibition.

what russia will show this year intrigues you all, interests you, well, it will be like this, in the 20th century there is more and more interest in zotchestvo. architect ilya utkin was awarded the golden lion star award in 2000. as a result, it was precisely this very topic, the attitude towards cultural heritage and historical monuments, and, as it were, an ethical attitude, that attracted the then, the then italian jury. in 2022

, russia refused to participate, and we handed over our pavilion to latin america under the leadership of bolivia. this is what it looks like: the scandinavian countries have created a dragon that is aiming towards the shchusev pavilion. there is a bold ulterior motive here. israeli artist ruth patir announced at the last minute that she would open the exhibition once a ceasefire agreement was reached between israel and hamas.

why contemporary art is often associated with social issues and politics. kazakhstan adopted a law on domestic violence, and large-scale military exercises were held in tajikistan. see this and other news from the region in robert frantsov’s review immediately

of the continent. today in the program, kazakhstan continues to fight severe flooding against the backdrop of natural disasters, scientists remembered one of the scenarios of a possible apocalypse throughout central asia, let's talk. in the eventful week of eastern diplomacy, we will tell you how laws on domestic violence were adopted in kazakhstan , large-scale military exercises are being held in tajikistan, and the spring racing season has opened in turkmenistan. big water does not leave kazakhstan, the situation remains difficult. at the end of the week, snow melted at one of the landfills flooded one of the major avenues in the capital astana. but the regions that suffered the most were in... the west and north of kazakhstan. in the western kazakhstan region, the first flood flooded almost 3.00 houses, and, judging by forecasts, this is far from the end of the natural disaster, so work continues literally day and night to repel the elements. almost 900,000 bags were laid, more than 100 km of dumps were built. in the kustonai region,

the tobol river returns to its banks, and residents of flooded areas are returning to their homes, or what is left of them. the picture is terrible. the houses cannot be restored. somewhere the foundation was washed away, somewhere the walls collapsed, the roofs leaned, inside the surviving houses the picture is no less terrible, all property was destroyed, the water was merciless, it didn’t even help that they were preparing for the flood, when it was already clear what kind of disaster they would have to face collide, erected a fortification, tirelessly. populated areas of the zhangeldinsky district began to drown flood water since march 26, when we arrived on site, the water was breaking through the dams and coming from all directions, so we had to work at a fast pace. it was necessary to have time to evacuate all residents from flood zones. there were times when we worked for 3 days in a row with almost no sleep or rest, there was no electricity, and because of this we could not call home. only after a week they were able to contact the house, the children asked: dad, where did you go,

where are you, i love my job, there was fear, and if the boat suddenly capsizes, we will lose people. a touching story from petropavlovsk: a local resident, kirill, left his home due to flooding and took with him everything that was most valuable, namely his misa cat. but they didn’t let kirill into the evacuation point with the animal. fortunately, caring people came to the rescue; at first they offered to give the cat to volunteers, but when they knew that the cat would be placed in a cage in the barn, one of the women took misa to her home. in general, caring is probably the main thing now that helps tens of thousands of people who have lost everything overnight to hold on. the concern of rescuers, volunteers, adequate response from the authorities. president akaev announced the decision to introduce austerity regime in order to direct funds to those affected by the floods. first of all , they will cut down on spending on so-called image events, of which, it must be said, they have accumulated. few. the decision to cancel the astana international forum has already been announced, to reduce expenses for the nomad games that will be held this

fall, and to reduce expenses for participation in the international exhibition expo. takaev made a working visit to the regions affected by floods, assessed the emergency scale situations and talked to people. during a meeting with victims in the kustonai region, takaev spoke about another threat that could erode the foundation on which modern kazakhstan is built, namely attempts to speculate. on the language issue, and specifically about the russian language, while takaev subtly hinted at ukraine and its sad fate. as for languages, you know my position, i am absolutely tolerant, the strength of my profession, i studied many languages, worked abroad, but now it’s not about me, it’s about the fact that we have of the constitution, the state language is the kazakh language, the russian language is used, according to the constitution , it performs the same function as the state language.

good people, i am proud of the people of kazakhstan, after all, they are smart, i think our people are very much, we will always be together, well, about those same some other countries, and specifically that very country, kiev journalist dmitro korpenko, who for some reason took a pseudonym the apostle, as if he were on the front line, decided that the flood was a good reason to mock the kazakhs, saying that it serves you right, too little humanitarian aid was sent to ukraine, the kazakhs suffered a flood, so what? in general , i don’t feel sorry at all, not an ounce, not an ounce, no sympathy or regret. and

also about cataclysms, just last week we talked about the water shortage at the main hydroelectric station of tajikistan, how a few days later , due to rising water levels in mountain rivers , destructive mudflows swept across the country. terrible flows of mud with clay and stones damaged hundreds of houses. in different regions of the country. against the backdrop of all these alarming events, it would be appropriate to remember how 25 years ago the un published a scenario of a possible apocalypse for central asia and everything begins there with a mudflow on lake sores in the tajik peace. the researchers presented calculations according to which the disaster would claim a huge number of lives and make vast areas uninhabitable. tajikistan, uzbekistan, afghanistan, turkmenistan and kazakhstan are at risk. lake soretskoye is a reservoir on pomirey in the gorno-bodokhshan autonomy, an altitude of more than 3,000 m above level

seas. the length of the lake is about 70 km, the maximum measured depth is about 500 m. the lake was formed relatively recently in 1911, as a result of a blockage on the bartang river after a strong earthquake, and intensive filling of the lake was completed only in 1926 . there are several disaster scenarios, here are the most. another landslide can destroy the lake and provoke another, but much more powerful force flow. a huge mass of water and mud will flow along the mountain river, then along the panzheya mudarya. stones up to 80 m high at a speed of about 100 km/h, this flow will stop only at the oral sea itself. the theory is supported by the fact that at least nine lakes are known on this very batrang river that ceased to exist in this way. an additional risk factor is global warming, because the natural

dam of lake soretz inside consists of huge blocks of ice. if they melt, the destruction could be so large... it is unlikely that it will go away completely, it will bring big problems for the areas that lie downstream, first of all there will be tajikistan and afghanistan are affected, all this will reach uzbekistan and turkmenistan, but having already traveled a long distance, there, well, probably, the consequences will not be so severe, and areas in tajikistan and afghanistan along the bartank panj valleys, of course,

large areas will be washed away, where many people live. first of all, the rushansky district of tajikistan, there is a station on the uusovsky dam and a warning system has been made downstream; the villages that are located downstream should be notified in case a breakthrough begins. what else do you remember last week in asia? in astana , police officers detained a citizen of uzbekistan who had been on the international wanted list for more than 10 years, as reported. happen at the request of tashkent, but for now the person involved was placed in the season. a regular shipping line could be created between the turkmen port of turkmenbashi and astrakhan in human trafficking and is preparing to extradite. preliminary agreements on this were reached at a meeting between the governor of the astrakhan region igor babushkin and the consul of the central asia republics. in addition, the parties agreed to increase the volume of mutual trade. the beauty of

asia in the italian cradle of geniuses. florence's palazzo pitti hosts the exhibition "light and". light, where you can see paintings by artists of uzbekistan and russian orientalists of the first half of the 20th century. a large-scale exhibition was presented by presidential assistant shavkat mirziyoyeva and his eldest daughter saida. kazakhstan became the first country in the post-soviet space to recognize domestic violence as a criminal offense. after the decriminalization of this article in 2017 year, this question has been a constant issue in society. heated discussions. according to official data alone, kazakh law enforcement officers last year recorded more than 100,000 complaints regarding domestic violence. 69 women and seven children died. one of the key triggers that pushed the authorities to take decisive action in this area was the high-profile trial of the former minister of national economy of kazakhstan kuandyk bishimbayev. he is accused

of beating his civilian partner to death during a family dispute last november. saltan's wife. more than 150 thousand people signed an open petition to the president of the republic demanding tougher punishment for domestic violence. the disproportionately lenient reaction of the law for minor crimes in the family sphere creates a feeling of impunity among potential violators and naturally leads to more serious crimes, including murder. here are the main provisions of the updated law. the fine for causing minor harm to health has been significantly increased. beatings are also punishable by community service, and torture and imprisonment for up to 3 years, for causing moderate harm to health they will be sent to prison for 2 years for serious harm up to 8 years in prison, well, life imprisonment for pedophilia, murder of a minor, which is curious even at the stage of discussion of the law by deputies in society loudly there were also

voices against it, in particular , the organization kazakhstan union of parents came out against it, explaining its position: fear that, under the pretext of fighting family violence , norms are being adopted that will allow mass take children from families and give them up for adoption to foreigners, the speaker of the senate of kazakhstan maolina shimbayev commented on the information. this is an incorrect and incorrect interpretation. we must clearly convey to the public that the law is not aimed at depriving parental rights, it works to protect women and ensure women's rights and the safety of children. let's discuss the new legal norm by sosya khairulina. chairman of the board of the league of women of creative initiative, so much attention to this initiative, votes for, votes against, how much such the law is relevant, here we are in 2017. a law was adopted on the decriminalization of domestic violence, time has shown that these changes do not work, for example, in 2003, law enforcement agencies received 99.00

requests for cases of domestic violence, all these cases have accumulated, and society simply took the most active part in order to change this situation, to criminalize this domestic violence, in general, this law, it’s more likely even preventive, very clear and precise measures have been worked out in order to investigate the situation of the child, to examine the situation in the family, that is, to clearly see this situation, analyze it, it is aimed at getting local communities, families, neighbors, there the ksk involved, that is, here is a big one, such a mechanism will work that will stand up for the safety of children, including protecting the fact that they still... raise their own families. can kazakhstan become an example for other central asian states of how ready the region is to abandon traditional patriarchal foundations? well we

we see now that society is becoming stronger, citizenship, this very precedent of this adoption of a law on domestic violence, toughening, punishment, mainly with the participation of civil society, the people who rose up with this. initiatives for change, it seems to me that this opportunity would also be applicable to the countries of central asia, where now they are also very strong, which means that changes are taking place in favor of social influence on the authorities, the root of violence lies in patriarchal ideas, subordination the role of women in gender inequality is , of course, already a tradition that has developed in the public consciousness, so of course for the countries of central asia, i think that this will be a very big... incentive to resolve this problem. kazakhstan is upping the ante. astana has increased

its claims against foreign oil companies tenfold. the government has calculated that for the kashagan megaproject alone, western corporations defrauded kazakhstan of $150 billion, and bloomberg writes a new lawsuit with reference to to your sources. for understanding, all expenditures are in kazakhstan. read more about what this huge scam is. the amount that was announced is indeed quite large; it concerns the lost revenue, the lost profit of kazakhstan as a result of the fact that the ncoc consortium, which is developing the kashagan fields, has repeatedly postponed deadlines, that is, there are certain ones in the agreement. parameters for payments of the republic, scheduled by year, plus or minus prices somewhere, and so on, from this amount it came together, now according to it official data, according to unofficial data,

about $60 billion is the consortium’s investment in the project, while the authorized body of toopsa filed claims in international arbitration for non-recognition of the amount of expenses exceeding $13 billion, that is, kazakhstan believes that these amounts were unfounded and not agreed upon expenses, does not want them to be reimbursed at the expense of what they receive. sold oil, if we add to it an environmental fine of $5.1 billion for excess storage of sulfur and other issues, plus this lawsuit, this is quite a large amount, which can be so large even on a global scale, may be number one there in terms of claims filed. this week several important high-level interstate visits took place. in astana, takaev received the kyrgyz leader. the ceremony took place at the akarde presidential palace. following the meeting, an agreement was signed on deepening and expanding allied relations. during the meeting, issues

of cooperation in trade, economic, transport and logistics, water-energy cultural-humanitarian spheres. and at the state residence palace of the nation in dushanbe, president of tajikistan imali rahmon received uzbek leader shavkat mirziyoyev. the focus is on deepening the political dialogue and building up trade and economic dialogue. cooperation, expansion of interregional contacts. as a result of the high-level negotiations , an agreement on allied relations was signed, which, according to the parties, symbolizes the transition to a qualitatively new stage in uzbek-tajik relations. but one more visit stands out high level. even taking into account the difficult situation when a flood is raging in the country, president takaev, between the work of the operational headquarters and visiting the affected regions, finds time so as not to postpone his visit to yerevan. it can be assumed that... in armenia they were definitely not passable, they seemed to require urgency. takaev arrived in yerevan just a month after he visited azerbaijan. kazakhstan, on the one hand,

together with armenia is part of... the bkb and the eac, on the other hand, it actively cooperates with azerbaijan and turkey. at a joint press conference , takayev said that kazakhstan is ready to undertake a goodwill mission, in particular, to provide yerevan and baku with a platform for negotiations. and to other events. military personnel from 201 russian bases joined the tajik armed forces for an exercise in the khatlon region. there they worked out a counter-terrorism scenario. participants in the maneuvers paid special attention to the use of reconnaissance drones and fpv drones, as well as tank firing. the spring racing season has officially opened in turkmenistan. the first tournament of nine races was held at the mary equestrian complex, where over 100 khaltik residents from all over the republic arrived. the best riders received prizes

in the process. kazakhstan, russia, kyrgyzstan, belarus, uzbekistan, china and other countries. they made presentations on a very wide range of topics, from trends in modern mathematics and economic analysis, to the results of linguistic and sociocultural research, and talked about the role of nsu in kazakhstan. this is already the result.

and finally, a story from the 18+ category from kazakhstan. 05 of the unknown soda literally blew up the internet, pitted comedians, moralists, those greedy for freebies, those suffering from corrupt love, and even police officers. in almaat, young people launched a challenge: young guys stand with a bottle near an elite shopping center in the hope that wealthy ladies will flock to the sweet drink. lemonade means... the videos that appeared on the internet are still a joke, but the police, just in case, conducted preventive conversations with , however, it turned out that most of them were soda lovers. and it’s true, nothing good luck with this soda, take care

see you as usual next.

military assistance to ukraine is another package of anti-russian sanctions, this topic is being discussed in luxembourg at a meeting of the heads of the eu foreign ministry and the ministry of defense. our european correspondent is following the progress of the negotiations. tyumin region
