this is the eighth squad, the youngest in the shift, the children are 8 years old, the oldest in the shift are 17, and in general there are all ages, this year in the red carnation there will be five shifts of 200 people, that is, over the summer a thousand children living in the svo zone will rest here. the children returned from the beach with us, this is our second squad. do you want to tell us what region you came from? where from donetsk and you according to the results according to the grades and yes you passed here according to the achievements what achievements tell us a little bit about the student government competitions and the competition journalists in this room live schoolgirls from the lpr and dpr including from the frontline gorlovka were selected as that is you sent on the site.

the first question, how was your rest? super, i really don't want to leave, just a bunch of positive memories, i really want to get here again in the near future, for all the children here without exception, a trip to the camp is an event that they were really looking forward to and which they will certainly remember for the rest of their lives. i submitted an application on may 11, and found out that i was going on june 1, and i just spent these two weeks, i just every day i went to the artek website...

i was really expecting results, i was really happy, i really wanted to go, well, uh, everything i expected to see here, everything came true, yes, yes, a bunch of new acquaintances from different cities, just the sea, the sun, the beach, that is, near the house, until i got bored, no, no, at first no, well at first i wanted to leave, at home, mom, there is a family, everything, and then, when i met the guys, every day more and more events, acquaintances, that's it, just yesterday already... everyone was crying, everyone was already hugging, that is, i don't want to leave, of course, as mentioned above, veronika is from gorlovka, a city that is now being shelled in the ssu almost daily, it is clear that in these conditions all schools are on distance learning, and if you count the pandemic, then almost half of veronika's school years were spent remotely, and also a person who, well, i can't live without society, i constantly need to be somewhere in some society, i was very happy, that is, of course , any child wants.

because well, the center is generally not categorically. berdyansk, where the camp is located, the city rear, by the standards of the svo zone, is quite quiet, but still sometimes it can be noisy here and the air defense is working. and here it can be noisy, for children from gorlovka, unfortunately, this is a familiar situation, but what about the children who are there from the dining areas, plus or minus, for whom this is not as often, how did they react? some children, let's say, even little ones, i noticed that they do not even understand what it is, well, that is ...

was considered the most popular resort in the country on the azov coast. it's only a short drive from here to crimea, but for many tourists in soviet times and now. berdyansk is not a stopover, but the final destination. vacationers come here specifically. we are on one of the central beaches, of which there are many in berdyansk, but this is the central third beach, and yes, you can see it. a bunch of people

who came to relax, well, there are, of course, local residents who also enjoy coming into the water, the water warms up to about 26° and... this is exactly the plus that distinguishes us from others - resorts in that in terms of the warm sea, wide sandy beaches, as probably in all resort towns, for a significant part of the local residents tourism is the main source of income, that is, people live all year on what they earned in the summer, compared to what it was last year, now people have come, but we are also sort of doing something there to... restore this tourist flow in all, well, at all opportunities we tell people to come, we participate in all sorts of meetings, exhibitions that take place in moscow and other cities that are connected with tourism and

so, well, there is such advertising, plus recently we held infotour, tour operators from different regions came to us. there is no special resort season in berdyansk this year, which is understandable, after all , the front line is only 100 km away, but judging by the number of people on the beaches and the number of cars with license plates from other regions, this summer the season on the azov coast is not bad. in the hotel, which belongs to the family of vera gorobets, there were no free rooms on the day of the shooting, and for this summer such a workload is quite a usual situation. tell me, please, how is this season going, is there any better progress than, for example, last year? yes, there are a lot more people, they come with children, we are very happy that it is quiet, calm, it is very good for us, there are a lot more people, yes

, in comparison, in what, what, by what percentage increase, well, by 50 percent for sure, yes, compared to last year, huh? mu, as if we give everywhere where we can give, and they come, and call, and are interested. in season prices for rooms in the vera hotel start from 400 per day. the hotel is located on the coast, on this side of the berdyansk spit, the sea is very shallow and therefore mainly

families with small children come here. they really like the azov sea, it is like paradise for children. it turns out that we have sand, we have places where the water is not deep. on our side there is a bay, there is generally knee-deep water, so children swim, and of course we are different, now you are in a protected area, here the birds of paradise fly in, we have very beautiful, we have beautiful sunsets, many tourists come specifically to the berdyansk spit, here, because unlike most of the azov coast, where it is shallow... in the middle of the spit it is relatively deep, yes the beach line is wide, the berdyansk spit, here are very wide beaches, there are not so many people in the middle of the season, well, so visually, well, at least less than on the beaches in the city center, but

nevertheless the rooms in the hotels that are located here are almost all occupied, on the spit along the coastline there are private houses, where rent rooms, boarding houses, sanatoriums, hotels in... among quite a high level, in this hotel it is difficult to book a room all season, the cost from 7.00 per day, and almost all the guests are from new russian regions. we are in one of the hotels, such spa hotels, which is called sunresort, and here there are really a lot of guests, vacationers, all the rooms are filled, such a good, let's say, good conditions. here and a swimming pool, you see, there is, right next to the beach, clean water, still clean sand, sun loungers, umbrellas, well right here rooms where you can relax not in the sun.

this season, after a two-year break , an aqua park opened in berdyansk, where at the time of filming the final preparatory work was underway. a lot is changing in the city in terms of infrastructure, especially with regard to roads, they are making a road, yes, they are making a road, all the communications are here, but it’s like. there was a terrible road here, well, all like a washboard, here, but at the same time, work is being carried out on utility networks, so that those that are on the road or under the road, that’s why like such a comprehensive approach, well, this is what was missing for many years, berdyansk has sort of survived, that's how it has remained since then. but unfortunately, in recent years under ukraine, nothing like that has been done here, that is, the networks

are worn out, well, in general, these works are being carried out now, little by little they are being put in order, our shevsky region, tver region, helps us a lot in this regard. the small village of urzuv on the azov coast was founded. by greek settlers from crimean gurzuf in the 18th century. hence the similarity of the name. the population of urzuf is less than 3,000 people, but in the summer it increases several times. and this year is no exception. although officially the resort season in the dpr, given the situation , no one, of course, opened. there are a lot of people, but you can't stop them, everyone wants to get healthy, bring their child to perekhnuri. the majority is from the donetsk people's republic. our donbass, this is almost 90%, a few people from the lugansk people

's republic, there are also people from big russia, but there are only a few of them, people are just a little afraid when you walk along urduf, it's hard to even believe that it's a combat contact line. that is, at the moment, it's like a weekend resort, friday, saturday, sunday,

a large influx of people, unfortunately on weekdays, that is, we have a decline, yeah, that is, i hope that in the future this will certainly change, that people will certainly come to us much more often, that is, the occupancy of the boarding house will increase or even last , maybe september, october, as it was, for example, in the 2000s, the raduga sanatorium was built in the sixties. at the beginning the family of sergei mikhalko bought it in the 2000s. he says that despite the fact that it is not fully loaded on weekdays, there are significantly more people this season than last year. people, some, of course, were afraid to go, some people did not go because of the bad road, that is, well, little by little, all these factors, as if they began to exclude themselves. the road is now, as it were , completely excellent. eh, people learned that now there is an opportunity to come to the sea of ​​azov, as if to visit the village, visit the boarding houses, that is already. some kind of advertising directly passed, until 2014 the main

part of tourists came to urzov from donetsk, and a significant percentage of vacationers were from russia, there were a lot of people here, the village was, you could say, filled, more than half of the village was all filled, people even came at night, asked to be taken to the beginning in those houses in which they were not suitable. were for housing, after 2014 everything changed, the village remained under the control of the ukrainian authorities, and the tourist flow for obvious reasons fell, unfortunately, that is, people could not simply because of, of course, the checkpoints of all the other passport control, that is, to come, now of course it is very nice when old clients return and people come whom you have not seen, for a very long time, you may not remember them, sergey vladimirovich, do you remember us, yes i remember, we have not seen you yet 14. my mother always brought me here since i was a child, i have now brought my children, that is, it

is nice, that when people remember you, that they come and expect exactly that from you service that was there before, that is, we try, of course, to maintain it. as we said above, most of the tourists in urzuf are people from the cities of donbass, but there are also people, of course, not so many, who come from big russia, my name is marina samar. i came from krasnoyarsk, well, i was here before, i decided to visit the region again, my friends, but how did you decide? yes, when they stopped coming here, probably after the fourteenth, well , yes, yes, it was like that, well, they didn’t really like us here, let’s say, the road is difficult was, now everything is simple, sat down went, decided to see how it is new here, maybe or still interesting, from krasnoyarsk marina got there for three days, first to moscow,

then to bryansk, where relatives live, from bryansk by bus to urzuf, why az... well, azov is warmer, let's say so, well , yes, maybe there is nostalgia, well , in general i like it on azov, well, in crimea of ​​course it is also good, but in crimea there is no time to go to the sea, there you need to see everything, here is pure sea, sun, rest, here you have i myself had no fears about coming here, no, on the contrary, i wanted to see with my own eyes... people's attitude to the new government, to the new, to the new country, let's say, because well, i know the whole situation a little, and here , you see, how it happened, they woke up in a different country, so i was interested in how they feel here, a small

village of sidogo not far from mariupol, until 1922 was the only seaside resort in the dpr. in the summer season it was difficult to find a room here, entry to sidovo was by passes. locals say that now there are noticeably fewer tourists in the village. well, my opinion is that new territories have opened up, liberated, let's say, and people have gone, let's say, not only here, but to various other cities, places. nevertheless, visually, the beaches of sidogo are quite crowded, and in the largest hotel complex of the village, even on weekdays. there are not as many free rooms as in other resort areas of the dpr and zaporozhye, tourists are mainly from the cities of donbass, these are mainly the nearest ones, this is our donetsk, makeyevka, plus the nearest taganrok and guests from have been added directly from russia, that is, from other regions, they already know us, well, since

many people here have family, distant relatives, they already come to us. tatyana kalashnik, together with her husband, started doing business 6 years ago, judging by how their complex is developing and growing, things are going quite well, how the idea came to love, since we live here, of course we wanted to create conditions where we ourselves can spend, well, we ourselves can’t relax, and the working season is natural, and we wanted to create a corner where you can come, a complex a corner where, having entered our territory , it makes no sense to leave, well, it probably doesn’t make sense, there’s a swimming pool here, a children’s playground here, here... the hotel room stock, we have our own beach line. tatyana says that there aren’t many svo participants who spend their vacation with them, most often their families vacation here. yes, these are mostly families who come, mothers with children, they vacation with us, yes, seven military service, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, that is - well, children still need the sea, it depends on me, well, of course, everyone needs a vacation, children need

the sea, the azov sea, it is healing, has healing properties, so yes, pike perch is good for health. well, that is, for the weekend, well, people from the mainland who are watching from other regions of russia, i mean, they are of course surprised that there is also a resort season in the dpr, especially in the conditions of military actions, well , you have to live, the child needs the sea,

to raise a child, of course, that's what we're going for. for people, say, from gorlovka, from donetsk, sedova came - it's such a breath of fresh air, well, i think yes, yes, in any case, especially well gorlovka danets, yes, it happens, well, this year it may not be so, but in those years people really came, they took a break from the noise, from all of this, yes, at least you can sleep, get enough sleep, this moment was, in a resort village with a population of 3,000 people, there is also a small amusement park. its owner, alexander luka , started this business in sidovo 26 years ago. well, i work here in sidovo, if you start your first steps from ninety-eighth year, 1998, well, here we count, we have been working until today, then.

add, expand. people are more willing this year, considering that the front has moved away, to come to you, or have you not noticed any difference compared to previous years? well, there may be a difference, it’s just that it has expanded, so to speak, yes, our territory, liberated territories have appeared, yes, people are spreading a little, well, how to say, they are spreading in different directions, and people are going there, to that side of the coast, to our side, well, a person happens. happens there and has vacationed in that country, they always come everywhere. people from other russian regions, of course, will see a contrast here, what resorts, what amusement park, when

the front line is two hours away. but since 2014, the residents of donbass have become accustomed to planning their lives in conditions when military actions are taking place very close? there is a habit, yes , in donetsk, probably, this habit exists, well , we have one attraction, i also have a go-kart in donetsk, and let's say, the first year we tried. industrial mariupol was never considered a tourist city, two metallurgical plants and giganta worked here, and the water area

it was definitely not an ecologically clean place. now, when the city is being restored, tourist infrastructure, hotels, embankment beaches are appearing in mariupol, one of the main attractions of the city, the nilsson water tower, has already been restored, of course they come, yes they were. we are industrial, but we tried all our objects that are interesting to our tourists, so that they were in demand, therefore, we always included them in our excursion routes and we try to return to this task in the same way, so that there was a city interesting precisely for its antiquity, that is why we love our city very much and prepare all excursion routes specifically with our objects, most of which are now being restored. mariupol is now one big construction site.

as it was for tourists, especially since the sea of ​​azov, it is a very useful sea in general, well, somehow because of the port, because there is a railway that goes to the port,

somehow this hotel opened in the twenty- second year, the building was repaired quite quickly, unlike the neighboring houses, it was not damaged much, during the hotel was badly damaged in the battles for the city, and how difficult it was to restore, well , all the windows, doors were completely replaced in... well, you see from the outside, the facade wasn't badly damaged, why? because there is a construction of a meter-high wall here. the hotel is mainly located on the coast, now this entire line of buildings is being actively restored. in this area there are generally a lot of changes, this year a very beautiful embankment opened. this is our new embankment, where you want to spend as many evenings as possible, because this territory was before the events. abandoned today and the soul rejoices that you can really walk along your favorite sea and look at the same port,

the pride of the city of mariupol. on our sea, which is worthy ready to meet our tourists, as it is awesomely clean warm, well and if you look at the improvement that has now been carried out and our builders, yes sister cities, this is a huge gratitude to them for this work, because this has never been here, there was no this space, there was no this clean air, and it's really nice to walk here... in the evenings with friends to show this place to tourists. there are now beaches with all the conditions near the embankment. yes, this beach has also been improved, right? yes, yes, yes, completely from scratch, everything is new here, decking, accessible, gazebos, showers, restaurants, sun loungers, that is , everything is completely comfortable and cozy here. there was no tourist, beach infrastructure here,

if i understand correctly, absolutely here. there was nothing, here was just again an abandoned area with a small the territory of sand only, well, with such improvements the concept of the whole visit to our resort city changes completely, that is, if earlier a tourist drove past us, yes, to get to the coast, then today he has a colossal opportunity, and this is a big plus for us, that... we can keep him in our city and show him everything that we have today. considering the relative proximity of the front and berdyansk and urzy, and melekin, and sidov and other coastal cities and villages, you can't call them a paradise for tourists and now in the summer season mostly residents of new regions go there, but this is for now, after some time people from all over the country will come to this part of the azov coast

. let's translate from official language to understandable, everything is not so scary if there is an instruction. returning to the news review, at the beginning of the statement of the russian ministry of defense about the situation in the kursk region. the armed forces continue to repel an attempt to invade uso on our territory. during the day, units of the north group of the approaching reserves, air and artillery strikes, stopped attempts by enemy mobile groups to break through, including into the belovsky district of the kursk region. the losses in the ssu amounted to 230 servicemen , almost 40.
