united in a coalition. bonoparte had much fewer troops than the allies, and he decided to defeat them one by one. in the town of waterloo, on the territory of modern belgium, then it was part of the kingdom of the netherlands. the french forces fought the duke of wellington's anglo-dutch army and lost. waterloo put an end to the twenty-three-year battle of the napoleonic wars. bonaparte was exiled to st. helena and now forever. and the word waterloo itself became a symbol of the last decisive battle in which they were defeated. a century and a half later, waterloo still brought victory. with this song waterloo, the musicians of the swedish group abba won the eurovision song contest and began their path to worldwide fame.

on june 18, 1936, maxim gorky died in the ussr, he was extolled as a great proletarian writer, a man of the era, and he was like that, he became famous at the beginning of the 20th century, with his stories, novels and plays, he joined the social democrats, but after the revolution of 1917 he became condemn the bolshevik dictatorship, the destruction of the intelligentsia, left the country, spent years in europe, but still returned. in in moscow, gorky was guaranteed honor and prosperity in return for supporting the regime; it was gorky who created the writers' union in the ussr, which brought many writers out of poverty. with his submission , the famous zhzl series appeared, the lives of wonderful people, but no one else was extolled like him. during his lifetime , his hometown, nizhny novgorod, was renamed in his honor and became bitter. the main street of the capital, tverskaya into gorky street. dozens of institutions and hundreds of streets across the country bore his name. gorkov had diseased lungs in may

1936, he caught a slight cold, after after his death, all-union mourning was declared, the coffin with the body was displayed in the columned hall, and the writer was buried in the kremlin wall. today, interest in gorky is no longer so great, but his significant contribution to russian literature of the 20th century is generally recognized. on june 18, 1949 , the state literary-memorial and natural museum pushkin reserve boldin opened. the poet's labor estate in the village of bolshoye boldino in the nizhny novgorod region, the only one of the family's name, was not destroyed by the war of revolution. here pushkin created more than half of his works, and the periods of his work here, were called boldensky autumn. in 1830, pushkin first came to boldino. due to the cholera epidemic in russia, a quarantine was then declared and he had to stay in the estate for more than three months. during this time, he finished evgeny negin and wrote belkin's stories. small

tragedies tale about pop and his workers balda. more than three dozen poems. then pushkin came to boldino twice more, also in the fall, in 1833 and 1834. and every autumn i bloom again - he wrote about boldin. the expression boldino autumn has become a metaphor in the russian language, meaning an unprecedented creative surge. and the thoughts in my head are agitated in courage, and light rhymes run to meet them. and the fingers are asking for. on june 18, 1979, in vienna, the ussr and the usa concluded the second treaty on the limitation of strategic offensive arms, known as salt-2. the document was signed by the leaders of the countries leonid brezhneev and jimi carter, the parties agreed to equalize their strategic carriers on airplanes and in mines on submarines with a single ceiling. it was a breakthrough.

but at the end of that year, american intelligence discovered a soviet motorized rifle brigade in cuba, and the ussr was leading troops into afghanistan. after these hostile, as washington considered, events. congress blocked the ratification of salt ii, ​​but representatives of both countries made unilateral statements that they intended to adhere to the agreements anyway. that was until 1986, when the united states wanted to deploy new heavy bombers with cruise missiles and build new ohio-type missile carriers. washington announced that it would no longer intends to adhere to salt 2. this agreement remained in history, becoming an example of how two superpowers can maintain peace if they wish. this is what this day in history was like.

else will be much better. work on the initiatives has already begun; proposals for implementing the plan for legislative support of the president’s decisions will be presented by relevant committees. this process has been entrusted to oversee the first vice speaker of the state duma, alexander zhukov. a very important topic about unlocking the potential of russian regions, a new geography of development and creation. russians to the commissioner and what questions state duma deputies asked her in alexander shavirin’s report. commissioner for

human rights representatives are directly appointed by deputies. and it is no coincidence that the speaker of the state duma, when announcing the ombudsman, said our commissioner. the floor is given to tatyana nikolaevna moskalkova, our commissioner for human rights in the russian federation. last year, the office of the obbudsman received about 93,000 requests from citizens, one and a half times more than in the pre-pandemic period, trust in the office of the commissioner is growing, but along with it the volume of tasks, noted tatyana moskalkova. every third appeal today concerns participants of special military operations. protecting the rights of soldiers and their families is the priority of the obbudsman’s work. we restructured the entire operation of the apparatus, created a 24-hour work line that takes calls day and night, a special unit that, according to a special procedure, in the shortest possible time with... separately, tatyana moskalkova noted

the effectiveness of the dialogue with the state duma, confirmation of her words by 27 adopted initiatives, where the proposals of the commissioner for human rights were taken into account. on preferential admission to universities, svo participants, on providing svo participants and their members families have the right to free legal assistance, on organizing holidays for children affected by ukrainian aggression. chairman of the committee. for the development of civil society olga timofeeva noted that today thousands of russians need protection, but human rights defenders themselves are being tested for strength. the parliamentarian raised the problem of staff shortages in local ombudsman offices and proposed unifying the requirements for them so that in each region human rights ombudsmen work equally, effectively and independently of government authorities. today, a third of the 23 regions do not have independent apparatuses; what kind of independence can we talk about? and there is another important one. question: there are territories where the number of requests to the commissioners has dropped very significantly, let's ask ourselves:

have people's problems ended or do we need to change the pace of the work that the commissioners have today? deputy chairman of the committee on state construction legislation anatoly liseytsin noted that the report of the commissioner for human rights demonstrates a vivid example of an effective personnel strategy of our states. for many years now, she and her apparatus have been making every effort to restore the violated rights of citizens. development of a national strategy for ensuring guarantees of human and civil rights and freedoms in russia. without a doubt, the institution of the commissioner for human rights has become even more necessary and significant today. chairman of the family protection committee nina ostanina invited the obbudsman to support the proposal for social rent of housing for orphans who are waiting to receive the apartments they are entitled to by law and highly appreciated the work done year of work. the main thing for you is the person, your report testifies to this. we. thank you for not avoiding the topic of providing housing

victims of violence. deputies also offered legislative assistance. tatyana moskalkova drew attention to the legal injustice that arose in relation to the fighters who defended donbass until 2022 . i proceed from the requests that we receive. donetsk and lugansk republics who were wounded as part of volunteer units or the armed forces of these republics before joining russia are not entitled to benefits today. report the commissioner for human rights was supported by all factions. the state duma speaker drew attention to the timing of its presentation. according to

vyacheslav volodin, it would be right from now on to receive an obbudsman at the beginning of the year following the reporting year. now all new technologies make it possible to receive feedback from the regions, from the localities, to summarize all this, but the january report, it will be fresh for the past year, now it is necessary to ask for six months, it was decided that the commissioner for human rights will present his next report to the deputies in january 2025. alexander shavirin, sergei vergunov, alexey chubburkov, duma tv, parliamentary hour. cooperation between russia and indonesia will reach a new level. chairman of the state duma vyacheslav volodin discussed the development of bilateral relations with the coordinating minister for economic affairs of the republic of indonesia. airlanga hartart, at the head of a delegation from southeast asia , visited okhotny ryad last week. russia attaches great importance to the development

of relations with indonesia, vyacheslav volodin noted during the meeting. it is necessary to look for new forms of interaction. colleagues from the indonesian parliament must do everything in our power to provide legislative support for decisions taken at the level of heads of state, then you and i will create a good basis and we will be able to solve many problems more effectively, we need to look for new forms of interaction so that we work on final result. russia and indonesia are long-time economic partners. last year, trade turnover between the countries exceeded $4 billion. almost half of russian exports to indonesia are food products

agricultural raw materials. last year , supplies of our grain to the republic increased significantly. according to the results. in the first quarter of this year, the growth in trade turnover between the countries amounted to 17%. partnerships are developing in the oil and gas and space industries, energy, transport, and pharmaceuticals. vyacheslav volodin noted that the countries have great potential for cooperation in the tourism industry and education. i absolutely agree that we must maintain our relations and build further effective cooperation between russia and indonesia, and this cooperation, of course, should reflect both... russia and turkey at the economic, scientific and personnel levels, this is how pavel zavalny, chairman of the energy committee, described the akuyu nuclear power plant project. under his leadership, a state duma delegation visited the nuclear power plant construction site this week. the working visit began with a meeting with the governor of mersin province. the project to build

turkey's first nuclear power plant is being implemented on the basis of an intergovernmental agreement signed by the russian federation. and republic of turkey in may 2010. aku is selling it on a “build, own, operate” basis. today this is a unique offer for the global market of nuclear projects, where competition is growing. in the future, under this scheme, rosatom will be able to fulfill similar orders for third countries that want to have nuclear power plants, but do not have the ability to build and operate them. the head of the duma committee on energy studied how work is going on at a grandiose industrial facility. we are like state duma deputies. control are required control how public budget money is used and the first impression is used very correctly, used very effectively, keeping in mind that despite...

2023, when the plant operates at full capacity, it will cover up to 10% of turkey's electricity needs. for the russian side, it is significant that our specialists work in construction and are offered decent and competitive working and living conditions in the region, including a remuneration system and social package. russian products are supplied to the construction site equipment produced at our plants; domestic fuel will be used in reactors. the same applies to the treatment of those who have worked.

a moratorium has been introduced on the collection of debts from state municipal enterprises of new regions for obligations arising before september 30, 2022; it will remain in effect until 2026 and will not apply to obligations for compensation of harm, as well as obligations for wages, severance pay, and other... the state duma approved the introduction of a free economic zone regime in border countries new regions areas. we are talking about the belgorod, kursk, and bryansk regions; the specific list of territories will be determined by the government. now investors and businessmen working in the free economic zones of the dpr, lpr, zaporozhye and kherson regions have preferences. investors will receive benefits on income tax, property tax, land tax, and payment benefits. deputies continue to fight modern pirates. the state duma has simplified the procedure for blocking mirrors of duplicate sites with illegal content. according to

the old rules, the ministry of digital development must recognize the site copies of the resource blocked for copyright infringement, then notify the owner of the mirror and roskomnadzor. and he will transfer the information to providers and search engine operators, who must block the site. the entire procedure takes several days. according to the new law, roskomnadzor. it will recognize the site as a mirror of a blocked pirate portal and notify the owner, provider and search engines about this. another law adopted this week will allow submitting documents for registration at the place of stay and place of residence based on powers of attorney. this decision is aimed , among other things, at supporting sbo participants who, for objective reasons, cannot fulfill the previous requirements to be personally present when registering or deregistering. all religious. property from cathedrals to temple decorations to hotels for pilgrims will belong to the church and be used exclusively for its intended purpose. the state duma adopted a law banning the privatization of religious

property. at the same time, relevant transactions completed since 2010 will be able to recognize invalid by a court decision for each specific object. separately , situations are stipulated when former religious buildings or apartments in them were privatized , citizens now live in them, whose rights should not be violated... for such cases, the ban on privatization will be extended only to contracts that were concluded after the new rules came into force . another law that will protect children was adopted by the state duma; it will help create an open register of malicious alimony defaulters. information about them will be publicly available until until they fully repay the debt. the topic is topical: the total amount of alimony debt in russia today is 50 billion rubles. sad statistics, stories.

the task was not an easy one, the eight-year marriage ended in divorce, the husband turned out to be a swindler, he lived in two families, anna found out about this during her husband’s arrest, the second woman wrote a statement against him for stealing jewelry, the police came to his wife and children’s home. the children had a very strong psychological trauma, they saw their father being handcuffed and being carried away, for them it was just a shock and it was it’s just scary, that is, the first thing i encountered when everyone - the law enforcement agencies left our apartment, that i wanted to go to the toilet, take a shower, go to the store, the children began to fear, that is, they were shaking, they were crying, that i in general, i can leave and not return, i underwent psychotherapy for several months and the psychotherapist simply said to exclude the topic of my father in... completely with life. this was possible, thanks to my father. for 3 years , the ex-husband never appeared. she didn’t see any alimony either. a man has a duty to his children

- more than half a million rubles. ex-husband, an ideal candidate to be blacklisted . the state duma adopted the law on creating an open register of persistent alimony defaulters. as state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin explained, it is necessary to create conditions so that fathers, no matter how they treat their ex-wives, do not run away from their children. the creation of such a register of debtors evading payment of alimony obligations, on the one hand, will increase the effectiveness of legal action on this category of citizens. they will make a blacklist publicly available, the register will include information about debtors brought to administrative criminal liability, as well as those wanted for non-payment of funds for the maintenance of children or disabled parents. unfortunately, this is a necessary measure, because our divorced spouses, in most cases, are men; fathers,

unfortunately, do not strive to fulfill their obligations. then one of the parents deliberately provokes a conflict situation, forces them to make concessions, agree to the conditions that are voiced, and deliberately blackmails them with alimony. show that there is supposedly no official income, but of course there is real income, or there is official income, but it is small compared to the real money that he earns, so they come up with all sorts of schemes, get rid of property, receive salaries in envelopes, the new law will also give bailiffs the right to receive up-to-date information about the employment of debtors from the social fund, authorities and organizations using the system of interdepartmental electronic interaction, the law will come into force in...

we need to connect this database with other databases this time. now the most effective methods of influencing debtors are restrictions on traveling abroad and seizure of property. the new law will also help speed up the process of collecting alimony. on the one hand, this is not a criminal offense, but in essence it is a huge crime against our future. as a rule, persistent defaulters enter into second marriages and even third ones. into fourth marriages, and women, well, we have kind, trusting people who go towards them, it is important that this register is available, so that on the one hand, women didn’t get in, but i still like it; on the other hand, there was also a board of shame. the total amount of debt by elements in russia is about 50 billion rubles. and this is only official data. the debtor or money changer will be notified within 24 hours of being blacklisted. after a citizen is included in the register, information about him will be stored

until he pays off completely. parliamentary hour. watch the second part of our program. changes in the unified state examination procedure. what will the deputies say? defense of sovereignty. why the list of undesirable organizations in russia was expanded, and how the state duma helps protect us from financial scammers. who's chasing you? nobody decided to hide behind their children? family song competition, let's sleep, let's spill. naughty people! the russian ministry of emergency situations warns, protect your home, install a fire detector. safety

starts with you, russian emergency situations ministry.
