the sofia court suspended the demolition of the monument in december, but the bronze figures and monuments had already been cut into pieces. now another court has allowed the dismantling to resume. monument. was established in the fifty-fourth year with public money, representatives of the opposition tried to protect the monument, they said that the authorities were waging war on history; moscow views the dismantling of the monument to the soviet army as a hostile step on the part of bulgaria. at the chisinau airport, the authorities actually staged a blockade of moldovan oppositionists who returned from russia. they closed the access control under the pretext of technical problems and demanded that i write explanatory notes. the leader of the renaissance party, natalia porasco , was sent for questioning by the special services, she was even threatened with criminal prosecution, while passengers on other flights were allowed to freely leave the arrival hall. the moldovan authorities do not hide that this is connected with the forum in moscow, where opponents of president mai sandu’s course

announced the creation of the victory coalition bloc. anna voronina has all the details. we united into one bloc, which means it’s time to get rid of you, this is how chisinau reacted to... the creation of moldova’s position of a single political movement, victory. minister of infrastructure and regional development andrei spyna called representatives of the new bloc advocating the development of the moldovan economy traitors. the whole country saw traitors to the nation in moscow, but not everyone is on the scene. some are still hiding in chisinau behind various parties. we must get rid of them in the coming years. he was supported by the head of the national moldovan party, the same one that is ready to completely abandon everything. moldovan and subjugate the country to romania. the opposition is no stranger to such statements and provocations from the current government led by president maessandou. as the head of gagauzia, evgenia gutsul, noted, such a call for reprisals against the opposition will respond by contacting the prosecutor's office.

the most important thing, but infrastructure is also important . the direction is scientific, wonderful for the children, by 2026 the area of ​​festekh will increase by one and a half times and it will be the scientific valley of mipt. olga armyakova, nikolai zakharov, rasul fitkulin, oleg makarov, yana streblyanskaya and mikhail altyrkop, lead. russian doctors will work in abkhazia during the tourist season, he spoke about this chapter. ministry of health mikhail murashko in the republic took part in a medical forum and met with the president of abkhazia. for organizing high-quality medical care in the republic, the president awarded murashk the order of honor and glory. according to the minister, russia is further ready to help this republic in training medical personnel and repairing medical facilities. a memorandum of cooperation was also signed with the ministry of emergency situations of abkhazia. the international exhibition innoprom central asia opened in tashkent. delegations from several dozen countries arrived, including

militants last summer, has opened in st. petersburg. restorers were able to restore the painting. dmitry akimov was one of the first to see them. in two halls of the marble castle there are 22 works, as if fresh from the artist’s brush. in fact, this is an exhibition of golden names of the silver age, from toganrog, and a year ago no one planned to bring it to st. petersburg. july 23, 2023 divided the life of our museum, successful, multifaceted, diverse, into before and after. the quiet life of the provincial town was then disrupted by vzo terrorists; a rocket fired from ukraine fell on the territory of the museum. they gave a work of painting and our buildings, and the building itself, and the museum equipment, the paintings were cut by fragments, they fell and

were deformed, the nightmare of any museum employee became a reality, the head was broken off, the shells of the ears were damaged, well, there was soot and dust contamination, plus some construction dust as a result of the explosion. within a couple of days, the employees of the russian museum were in taganrog, and it immediately became clear that the damaged works needed to be brought to st. petersburg, followed by months of intense, painstaking work. it was decided that we would carry out complex restoration for each monument individually, research was carried out, programs were drawn up, they were approved, and in fact , we carried out the restoration according to these programs. the restorers did it, it seems. impossible, the damaged works were saved and can now be returned to the walls of their native museum. pyaterburg craftsmen even give a guarantee of at

least 100 years. let us believe and hope that our restorers will never have to engage in what can be called military field surgery in the field of restoration art. you will be able to enjoy the works of korovin, reirikharov and... as well as the restorers of the russian museum for the next 3 weeks, and then the paintings will return to taganrok. dmitry akimov and sergey fodiev, news from st. petersburg. last friday at at the age of 72, the first syrian cosmonaut and hero of the soviet union, muhammad faris, passed away. alexander rogatkin will tell about the fate of the first foreign specialist who visited the soviet orbital station mir. previously to our colleague.

a delegation from the soviet union arrived and chose four people from the best syrian pilots, i was one of them, then we flew to the soviet union and there...

here, unfortunately, we don’t have, whether such training is needed or not, of course, as your proverb will say , once sees, better than having heard it 100 times, such training is very important, because without such training, we will not imagine how it is possible to rescue from water through a helicopter. muhammet was not an allawi, like most representatives of the authorities of the syrian arab republic and...

it was somewhat difficult in the sense that for some time, for several days, one might say, he felt discomfort - within himself. the space program for the first syrian cosmonaut was not particularly difficult; it was necessary to photograph the territory of syria and historical ruins of palmyra on the gde camera mkf6. a multi-spectral photosystem mkf-6 is installed in a special photo compartment. six photographic lenses simultaneously photograph the planet; they see the earth differently, through their own filter. otherwise, it was political pr and a demonstration of the syrian

flag. i took with me damascus steel, syrian soil, i took photographs of my family, my children, more children’s toys, a figurine of a little man, a cow and a small plush heart. paris, in addition to his children's toys, also took, of course, a portrait of his president, hafez al-assad, and we had him on board next to a portrait of gorbachev, our leader. while. in recent years, the hero of the soviet union and the first syrian cosmonaut mohammed faris has harshly criticized the russian authorities for supporting president bashar al-assad, with the portrait of whose father, hafez al-assad, faris flew into space. i would like to thank all my compatriots, first of all our leader, the president. hafez al-assad, for the care he shows

towards us. former general with the beginning syrian conflict ended up on the other side of the barricades and eventually fled the country. it was a necessary measure and i left syria. the closest country where i could go was turkey. i feel like a stone that was pulled out of its native place and taken to a foreign land. in turkey, faris joined the government in exile and became the self-proclaimed minister of defense and repeatedly.

and of course, after i had already moved from syria to turkey, and my views began to differ from the views of the government, the programs about me and my flight were removed from broadcasts and even canceled the holiday. faris regrets that after his escape he was no longer invited to russia to celebrate cosmonautics day. before this they always called me, there was no problem with it. but lately they haven’t called me, they haven’t invited me, i know the reason, of course, it’s politics, unfortunately. he hoped that in exile his experience would be useful in preparing the first turkish cosmonaut to fly on elon musk’s rocket, but in turkey they did without his help. i still remember every moment of my flight, how we docked at the space station, and

there are moments. i have dreams that i am still in orbit and flying in zero gravity. alexander ogatkin, valentin rudkevich, and kharit khananov, especially for russia 24.
