, changes in the composition of senators and topical issues related to partial mobilization. here are just some of the topics in this edition of everything in more detail right now. on the eve of national security, our country is able to cope with the most serious challenges valentin matvienko's important statement at the opening of the autumn session. councils of the federation today we are talking about our the independence of our freedom and the president assured that they will be unconditionally provided with all the means at our disposal new senators and changes in the composition of committees . and here among the senator. there are changes. logical independence social policy budget and economic

development priority areas of work for senators for the coming months. we appreciate the efforts of the government, we will also be substantively involved in this work, we will use all the potential of the chamber for this, what hides modern electronic vapor delivery devices, nicotine and taxation. how transparent is the russian vape market? it is possible that within the framework of regulation for the second reading we will develop a model that will allow us not to divert the market into a gray zone. kagid this autumn features of the course of diseases and security measures, is the end of the pandemic close the problems that are now facing people in front of the health care system, they have changed. russia is able to cope with the most serious challenges, valentina matviyenko said this when opening the autumn parliamentary session. the chairman of the council of the federation paid special attention to the situation in the luhansk donetsk people's republic of kherson zaporizhzhya

region, speaking about holding referendums. she noted that such people's initiatives speak of a deep spiritual connection with russia, it is also an indicator of the collapse of the west's policy to create an anti-russia project speaker of the federation council stressed that the leader of the country stated the need to support the proposal of the ministry of defense of the general staff to announce a partial mobilization, according to her, today we are talking about our independence and freedom. appeal to our soldiers to those who show courage and heroism at the forefront, defending their homeland. you know that the whole country is with you today. you are doing a very important thing. with your military work, literally create a new history in which there will be no place for injustice

towards people, there will be no bombing of peaceful cities, daily shelling of residential buildings. you are defending peace and truth, we will continue to do everything to support those who participate in the special operation, as well as their relatives and friends, they should feel the unconditional care of the state. a number of them have already been adopted. support measures for participants in the special operation include medical tax benefits and free receipt. additional professional education, a monthly supplement to a pension, and much more, and it is important that all these benefits will also apply to those who will be drafted under the framework. e partial mobilization. we are dealing with these issues in detail. in particular, on behalf of the president, amendments are being prepared to legislation aimed at ensuring

labor guarantees for participants in a special military operation. also, recently, senators, together with deputies, submitted to the state duma a draft law on free social services for participants in a special military operation, needing it and we will definitely continue this work, i am sure that all the difficulties of today. we will definitely overcome, because the thousand-year history of russia teaches that our fatherland comes out victorious and even the most difficult. to the test every time, becoming only stronger and stronger, it will be. and this time russia has always won the whole world and it is very important that in these difficult conditions our citizens really rallied sociological surveys as well as the results of the recent regional elections. they talk about a high degree of consolidation of the russian

society of high support for our president. today, more than 90% of citizens. according to recent opinion polls, they call themselves patriots. this is the highest figure in the history of the new russia, and such unity is such solidarity. they will definitely lead us to success and victory. and the social obligations of the state , technological sovereignty and other equally important issues that were in the spotlight during the plenary session in the material of vera danilidi. good morning despite the uneasy conditions and unprecedented sanctions, not a single national project has been removed from the agenda. all social obligations of the state are being fulfilled, said the chairman of the federation council, plans for the autumn session, taking into account the current situation, have already been determined, this, of course, is the work on the draft federal budget. it must comply with

the strategic development goals, guarantee the fulfillment of all social obligations of the state to citizens, and also balance the budgets of the constituent entities of the federation in the focus of close attention of legislators, food security of the country support of farms of individual entrepreneurs of the population the development of advanced technologies in the field of genetic research and artificial intelligence. only by covering all industries can be ensured. stable development is certainly one of the strategic priorities to achieve the technological sovereignty of our country. we appreciate the efforts of the government of the region in this direction and, for our part , we will also substantively participate in this work, we will use for this all that the chamber has potential and expert and advisory and legislative, and the forecasts of the socio-economic development of the country for 3 years were reported by the minister of economic development. maxim

reshetnikov also dwelled on the results of the work. according to him, the russian economy turned out to be resistant to global challenges; now the situation on the labor market is stable, including due to social support measures. they were launched in the second quarter of this year on behalf of the president. this is the indexation of the pension of the subsistence level of the minimum wage and start of new payments, if we remove the tariff indexation factor in early july. for 17 weeks now, the consumer market has been undergoing a gradual decline in prices, after a spring surge in investment activity. in the first half of the year , business was at a high level, striving to accelerate as much as possible, the completion of initiated projects is being restored lending to the economy in august, the ruble loan portfolio increased by 2.4 trillion rubles. these figures have been achieved. mainly due to lending to enterprises, the minister also noted that the budget system of russia in august

budgets of all levels are spending more money this year. what comes in their taxes speaking, forecasts according to the minister the bottom point of the recession of the economy will be passed in the fourth quarter of this year on the basis of 22 years. we expect gdp to decline by 2.9% decrease in investment, taking into account the decline, will remain within 2% in the second quarter, unemployment, at the end of the year at 4.5%, inflation will slow down after a peak of 17.8% in april by the end of the year. we expect a decline to 12.4%. in 2025 the level unemployment. according to the minister, it should be even lower than the one voiced by valentina matviyenko. on the whole, the ministry of economic development gave a positive assessment to this forecast. in general, forecasts it is much better than what could have been and what and what was expected, and even in comparison with what is

happening in a number of european states. it is very important that the government identified priorities and the minister clearly outlined them the senators supported amendments to the criminal code on looting and refusal to participate in hostilities, the maximum penalty for evading passage is provided military service in the form of imprisonment. for a period of up to ten years, criminal liability is introduced for voluntary surrender, the punishment for which , in the absence of signs of high treason , is provided for in the form of imprisonment. for a period of three to 10 years. the criminal code is supplemented by a new article providing for liability for looting; the maximum punishment for such actions is up to 6 years in prison; introduces raw articles providing for criminal liability for failure to comply with state the defense order also approved a law on the simplified acquisition of russian citizenship by foreigners who signed a contract on

military service . they should start working from september 1, 2023. the law introduces a new obligation to mandatory use of federal work programs in elementary school in the russian language, literary reading to the outside world, and in secondary and high school in russian the language of literature. history of social science, geography and basics of life safety. so, if a child moves from one region to another, he will study under the same educational programs. another hot topic that has been raised more than once at plenary meetings. years, senators propose to make appropriate changes to the tax code, and within an hour of the subject of the russian federation presented the achievements of the irkutsk region

valentina matvienko proposed to make the region a flagship territory for the development of civil. at the irkutsk aviation plant, work is in full swing on the assembly of ms-21 aircraft. and this, according to the chairman of the federation council, is another important step towards technological sovereignty vera daniledi nikita vasilyev senate program, given the growing geopolitical challenges, russia has no other choice but to get together as much as possible to counter the existing threats about this andrey klimov, who heads the interim commission of the federation council to protect state sovereignty and prevent interference in the internal affairs of our country, said sinatra. according to him, all decisions taken by the president are aimed at strengthening security, and western attempts to sow panic inside russia are doomed to failure. commission for the protection of state sovereignty carefully studied both the speech of the president and his decree, we consider this

, of course, a timely document and very important. if everyone who thinks about this topic, especially if he speaks publicly, for a start, he himself carefully read both the text of the decree and the speech of the president’s address to the russian people, and by and large to all of humanity, and then many questions would disappear by themselves. uh, today, unfortunately, uh, those who well, not unfortunately, it's a fact , those who have made the fight against us their political goal, who call us their adversary for them. one of the tasks is to sow panic in russia to cause some kind of decadent disperse moods a wave of rumors and gossip, so we must be very careful about what is being written on the internet today on behalf of anyone, it is accelerating, but by and large it is visible here. uh, these are, uh, the central intelligence agency from the pentagon command from the british special services.

we see it, we feel it, we understand it. hence each of us should clearly understand. the measures taken have the sole purpose of ensuring the security of our country and we take into account the change the geopolitical situation of the referendums that are held in the territories liberated from the nazis and the pro-american room. they have their goal of the appearance in the russian federation of new subjects of the federation on the territory of the federation, life should be carried out according to russian standards, including security, including opportunities. of the defense complex in these territories, hence, of course, such tasks require both specialists and specialists with

appropriate experience. this is achieved, including this very partial mobilization, so we should sensibly analyze the situation and act as expected in such conditions. i think that with due observance of all those measures that were proposed by the supreme commander. we have no reason to doubt that victory will be with us today, the first day when a referendum is being held in the people's republics of donbass in the kherson zaporozhye region on joining russia, the future, liberated territory, will be discussed by senator olga komitede, who represents the republic of crimea in the federation council olga fedorovna you by virtue of your professional activities. you often communicate with people from the regions of the republic, in which the popular vote is now underway. and tell me what it means for them now to be able to make such a choice for more than 8 years, and

people are practically under a constant e, constant pressure, constant orthops, arrows from the armed forces of ukraine. they are not just ready. war-torn people, so today the only way for them to look to the future with confidence is to be sure that they will stay alive just like their children. this is the only opportunity today to come to a referendum and vote in order to be with your people, to be with the multinational people of russia today, our entire country, without exaggeration, is going through a historical moment, as far as you think. now the cohesion of our society is important. you know, i remember the demonstrations, which were one of the first demonstrations in 2015, and in 1915, when i came to donetsk and with alexander zakharchenko, together with our colleagues from the state duma of the federation council, we saw that community, and the people of donbass, which was demonstrated, and also in their

work. uh, in exchange for celebrating today. in principle, i see the same rise, but the growth of this wave of patriotism. i see today in russia, uh, why? because in 2014, when crimea just joined the russian federation, we saw a special rise in russian society. we understood that some new processes were going on, an update was taking place. and this rise is renewal today. and we see again, because the backlash. you know, it's a spring effect, when people are extremely, there is a lot of pressure and people are just plain and simple. uh, they oppose this, because today we see unprecedented pressure on the russian federation, you and i see that the anglo-americans literally encircled us and hmm here is the statement of the president of the russian federation announcing a partial mobilization. all of this suggests that we must all

come together today. today we must be more than ever together, because the only thing that can save each of us and our state is our unity, in general, the motto of the republic of crimea is prosperity in unity. that is why i am sure that we are calm to worry today. we don’t need to, we clearly know that our country is big and strong, we know this is the huge military potential that the russian army has, therefore, and the only thing we all need is to calm down not to worry and understand what will happen all is well next in our program. new senators and changes in the composition of committees details of personnel changes in the federation council after the september elections, which took place in many regions of the country, to date , the reaction of the senator has been confirmed and empowered. and here among the senator. there are changes. what the electronic parse hides is a

where no one ever swears? after all, each of them has long had a watch.ru application, which you can watch anywhere and on anything.

electronic nicotine delivery systems, or as they are more commonly called vapes, are the topic of our detailed discussion today, how transparent this market is. is it regulated enough by the state? whether the manufacturers of these devices and liquids for them pay taxes and excise taxes , let's talk about this in detail, senator alexei sinitsyn today he is a guest of our studio. hello alexey vladimirovich, good afternoon. you and andrey kutepov introduced a bill that regulates excise taxes on disposable electronic cigarettes and nicotine liquids. tell us what innovations are, it seems that the excise was quite right, but let's start with the fact that excise taxes on tobacco and nicotine containing products are quite a significant

replenishment of the budget of the russian federation, ah. and if the traditional cigarette market is stable enough, then the electronic systems market. delivery negatively grows fast enough, because a new category of consumers appears. these are young people who perceive electronic methods, heating, nicotine and liquids. how gadgets are drawn to it and thereby replace the generation that smokes cigarettes, and electronic delivery systems, nicotine, a two-component system from gincomponents, it is a device for heating. and the second is liquid. well, or if this is an abacus, then a device for heating tobacco and tobacco, and in the case of liquids, the situation looks as follows, and the market is growing. exponentially direct explosive growth, and from the moment when the excise tax was introduced on electronic delivery systems for nicotine and liquids for them, and each of these components is an independent market for excise goods and devices and liquids, the market has grown and consumption has grown for excises - this is also noticeable. well, for example, on

devices from the twentieth year to 21 years. that is, for 21 years, the taxable base in the number of pieces has increased five times. yeah, but obviously the same trend should be from liquids, because they obviously consume, at least in the same proportion. but, unfortunately, in the twenty-first year. we noticed that the excise tax on the collection of excise duty on liquids fell and fell significantly by more than a third. why did it happen that manufacturers brought to the market? conditions behind the rapidly changing market does not have time to regulate some issue that arises in the activities of mankind, the world is now changing very quickly, our legislation did not have time to respond and manufacturers. uh, they began to pay excise only for the device itself in order to eliminate this gap. actually, we have

developed and introduced a bill that allows you to introduce the concept of disposable or disposable electronic systems. delivery, nicotine and fair excise and device and liquid that is contained in this disposable system. why is this done in order to preserve health or to collect more taxes, here are excisable goods, you need to understand that if it were possible to ban something that harms human health, then first of all, ban it. it would be human stupidity, because it generates the use of alcohol, nicotine, drugs. uh, fatty foods fast food sugary soda. unfortunately, we cannot ban this, but these bans simply do not work. cause well drugs are banned like the greatest evils, but people will still consume the rest, and a simple direct ban on the consumption of these substances does not exclude their consumption from gray schemes, but people will acquire in this sense the state, with the help of excise taxes

, regulates reduces consumption due to the fact that the goods become sufficient expensive and the person is already weighing, but it’s sure he needs it or maybe this money will go to something else that he has. is it really necessary to smoke? is it really necessary, but to soar, as now, say the youth, these are electronic delivery systems. uh, nicotine, and therefore the excise is a way to regulate the market as a whole. and by the way, here you rock these vapes. yes, e hover, as they say quit smoking many years ago and very happy, and therefore not very familiar. here with this youthful way. uh, hmm smoking or no tobacco. uh, no matter how there is nicotine, which is in liquid form, which is in liquid form. is present, it is just a liquid for evaporation, it is not subject to excise duty. and what do you think, maybe excises should be raised on tobacco products in general. that's what we talked about, that it's a way to regulate the market and a way, among other things, to improve. maybe, uh son of

tobacco products is steadily rising in our country and do not always have an effect. these increases in fees, these excise taxes and very often the increase in excises turn into a transition of a part of the market into a gray zone. why is this happening? ah, the two problems that exist now are harmonization legislation with other countries and the eurasian commonwealth of ours and eos and there excises do not keep pace with the growth that we have, products are objectively cheaper and are imported into our country according to various crm schemes products, if the states are limiting with us, mainly belarus and people buy it in retail outlets fighting it. and complex digital marking is not being carried out and is being carried out, as one of the most. well , let's just say the available ways of traceability of goods from the moment of import to the moment of sale, and it is also in relation to electronic delivery systems, nicotine, so far in an experimental mode for a certain period, but in the near future. we hope

to become a permanent regulation. well, this means that if you constantly raise excise taxes, then the market simply goes into the gray zone, and then it will not work into the black zone. so, with these disposable electronic cigarettes to be smuggled in somehow, we propose not to increase, but to level and make the system fair for reusable manufacturers. uh devices charge taxi drivers per device and per liquid manufacturers disposable devices goes away from paying part of the excise tax. we simply propose to stabilize and level this situation. ah, first reading. as far as i remember, it has already passed in the state duma. uh, in the state duma. he was supported to have a comment from the government. and what are the ridiculous avoidance of double taxation with respect to this device now? with together with the government we are discussing. just yesterday , a meeting was held on the basis of our committee on how regulation can be implemented; the government even has a proposal to possibly abandon taxation of devices, leaving only the taxation of liquids, because it is the liquid that carries the component that destroys human health - the device itself is harmless to humans. uh, does that mean

fluids and the device. if, after all , uh in your format will support the bill will rise in price and if the date, by how much, and i think that disposable devices containing liquid can really rise in price. ah. it 's hard for me to answer the question. exactly how much will these devices rise in price, because at present time, as a rule. they were imported and paid only for the device itself excise. and this depends on the volume of liquid filled into it, but suffice it to say that one excise tax per 1 ml of liquid for this year is 18 rubles. - this is quite a significant amount. in general, what was the trend in the market for these vapes, right at the peak of popularity. all, in my opinion, yes, they tried them or walked with them on the street. there, growing now is a growing market and consumption continues to grow and it continues to grow, because consumers of traditional systems. uh traditional traditional way of consumption. nicotine. in the form of cigarettes are replaced hmm by the rising generation of e with other

generational habits with gadget habits, so of course. this market is growing and will continue to grow for young people and it's more interesting to uh, smoking a gadget than smoking straight cigarettes do your colleagues think you would be more harmful do you agree at all on this issue, how did you study in order to draw such a conclusion that it is more harmful that comparative research is certainly in abundance in electronic systems. nicotine. across liquid is quite a large amount of harmful substances. they are definitely no more useful than cigarettes, both of which destroy. human health destroys our body, ideally, of course, there is no need to smoke, neither the first nor the second. it won’t work, so if again the excise tax increases, the cost of these electronic cigarettes, well, in this case, disposable uh will rise and people will switch back to traditional tar cigarettes, etc., etc., yes, and well, although this is also considered harmful way of consuming nicotine, but nevertheless there will be a rollback with

in terms of consumption of traditional cigarettes. to be honest, i don't have such statistics. i don't think that's exactly what will happen . uh, the transition, that is, from vapes. uh, young people will start switching back to cigarettes, and moreover, our draft law aims to harmonize this situation and eliminate the existing gap. it is possible that within the framework of regulation for the second reading we will develop a model that will allow us not to divert the market into a gray zone. alexey vladimirovich thank you for interesting comments will follow closely after reading the second third and considering this project in the federation council, the formation of a comfortable urban environment remains one of the priorities of the nation. one of the indicative regions is the murmansk region, where more than 100 recreation areas have been restored or rebuilt, including thanks to the active position of local residents, how northerners help to improve public spaces in their cities in oksana's report on turkina, murmansk region, the largest in the world.

arctic territory with urban population and the developed infrastructure of the region is located beyond the arctic circle of an imaginary line, which is located approximately on the border of this region and karelia in winter it is not so cold here, thanks to the warm current the gulf stream in the summer cools the arctic in the regions, which is called murmansk in the city formed a little more than 100 years there is the largest arctic port, the city of murmansk growth very fast eight times, it has increased from the seventies to the beginning of the nineties and each soviet family of a separate apartment is about us were given to the sailors of the fleet, apartments quickly now murmansk is the center of attraction for tourists. in the summer, people come here to admire the beauties, my polar region with the northern lights. this is how it looks, murmansk is depicted on almost all postcards. alyosha is a monument to the defenders of the arctic; ports of all kinds of trading and fishing vessels; the sea terminal of the kola bay; the icebreaker lenin

; proud of no less than the above listed attractions. one of them is the hall container, a cultural hub for young people, designed for exhibitions, conferences, educational and educational projects, it took 12 used shipping containers to create the idea arose quite a long time ago. that is not the first year. there are thoughts that some object from containers should appear in murmansk, because this is such a very strong logical connection. nurmansk, commercial port, and dry cargo, these are all containers of the whole project from the moment of the beginning, probably, of the design idea and until the moment of opening. it's almost 3 years old. last year. murmansk has breathed new life into the park. kolsky is a favorite vacation spot for townspeople since soviet times, the residents themselves helped to choose an object for reconstruction for the implementation of this project, which is not limited to the improvement of the park alone, about 11,000 votes were given for improvement, the stream is clean. this is a fairly large project. it will organically continue the park, on the territory where we are

and in 2 years we will create a wonderful murman recreation area with bicycle paths, children's and sports grounds with modern lighting . where to direct the funds of the region among the northerners appeared thanks to initiative budgeting. in my opinion. this is such a good project, thanks to which 117 public landscaped areas have appeared in the murmansk region since the twentieth year, this year there will be 54 and people see the changes and are more and more actively involved in the selection process every year new territories and, accordingly, improvement, a clear example of the effectiveness of active. severyan pomorskaya embankment in the field is the winner of the all-russian competition for the best projects for creating a comfortable urban environment. there used to be a wasteland here. uh, the townspeople have been using it as a dog run since last year. uh, this object is included in the federal register of best practices and projects for the improvement of a

public space with a landscaped embankment with children's sports grounds, a skate park and a barbecue area. created in difficult conditions of the arctic construction season. here are very short due to the weather on a tight schedule. without loss of quality, we managed to build one of the most beautiful viewpoints on the kola peninsula. this is the first season when residents and guests of the murmansk region can enjoy walks along the new embankment from here. the strelka is visible, the place where the two rivers kolo and toma meet, and in the distance the kola bay is visible. the climate in these parts is harsh with unpredictable weather, high humidity and piercing winds. but by the way, people of the north and do not like the heat are much more uncomfortable lack of sunlight during the polar night, many can not stand it and opt for large cities with more favorable conditions, therefore, among the most important tasks of the region is to solve the problem of population outflow, including through the comprehensive development of infrastructure . she lived in murmansk almost all her life. and now 4 years. i live in moscow, a lot of things were built here, the kola embankment, where we are

now, they did it very beautifully. what about me i am glad that places began to appear where you can walk the bench. too small for such a large area. and so the embankment is very good, of course. and it’s good that they made a place where people can relax, children can run, however, getting to these attractions has become much more convenient thanks to the upgrade of the transport infrastructure. for which only this year 1.5 billion rubles were allocated from the regional budget. as a result, the public transport fleet of the murmansk region was replenished with 135 modern trolleybuses and buses. for example, completely updated rolling stock updated the fleet of rolling stock of the kirov glomeration. vehicles left kandalaksha, pechi district a new tractor was created for the comfort of passengers , the entrance for example, it is convenient for mothers with children. well, for people with limited mobility, a ramp is lowered, one of the conditions for providing a subsidy for mandatory branding of cars has been fulfilled, including the

main transport enterprise of the regional center since january of this year with the money of the region. it has acquired almost fifty new buses and trolleybuses in the history of the enterprise. this an unprecedented case, yes, and similar electric transport. in murmansk, there has not yet been comfortable, as if they have everything. here it is, in principle, even air conditioners appeared on the latter ones. however, the main advantage of the new trolleybuses is that they are able to travel up to 20 km without contact with the network, that is, the trolleybus infrastructure is very complicated to the most remote areas of the city, since traction substations . the contact network is a very serious capital investment and the autonomous movement of vehicles. e it is much more cost-effective . we took a ride on one of these trolleybuses, the vehicle assembled in vologda is a vivid example of import substitution. in a new batch of belarusian-made cars. well, the old depots are in no hurry to write off. now the mechanics are restoring this hopeless at first glance, trolleybus frame, we change the body and frame with large nodal parts, then we

restore it all and paint it. and a month later, the trolleybus is already in full combat readiness. comes technically, serviceable to the line daily by public transport. the city is used by about 120,000 passengers, that is, approximately 40 million people a year. along the roads of russia a specifically , on the roads of murmansk this year, the trolleybus system of the city turned 60 years old absolutely vasiliev senate program physicians. covid. it's been easier to carry lately. almost no symptoms differ from the usual

arvi , is it so? so they say now that, uh, the coronavirus itself is no longer so dangerous. what is your opinion for sure. first, i want to say that our committee is following the corona virus situation very closely. we are constantly discussing this with the representative of the ministry of health and other interested departments, and of course. we can state that the pandemic is on the decline, the so-called wave of the last coronavirus infection, uh, is leaking. it is easier to eat than the previous one. and in general, over the past month, if we look at the statistics, there has been a plateau with a slight decrease in the number of new cases nationwide , of course, in each region the situation is different , somewhere the incidence is higher, somewhere less , but everywhere the percentage of hospitalization is low, it is significantly lower than in the previous wave. and what

's best is the low percentage of e-lethal death outcomes. although it must be said that such cases do exist. and although there are significantly fewer of them compared to the previous wave, they exist. the course of the disease itself has changed; it has become easier, so more people suffer from the disease. even those who are not vaccinated absolutely, uh, it is still easy and the risk of a severe course of the risk of death for the young is relatively. healthy people, it has dropped significantly, well, we remember, yes, how it was only there a year and a half ago. how much young active people were either seriously overwhelmed or many people died and say that it is completely a pandemic. e, it's over. and what can you completely calm down already? unfortunately, it is impossible, however,

the opinion that the coronavirus pandemic has been defeated still sounds. even joe biden recently stated that we all defeated the pandemic. although he himself was in quarantine several times, and a himself transferred to the view. so, do you think this is more of a political election statement or, uh, it’s still going to this, you know, with a pandemic, until it’s defeated, but those problems that are now facing people in front of the health care system. they have changed, if in the previous waves at the beginning of the pandemic. we remember that this is a colossal burden on the healthcare system, a colossal burden on doctors, nurses, huge queues and ambulances from ambulances, all this was there quite recently. we remember this, but now there are other problems. what is it, and is post-covid a complication? usyk avito and we have already said repeatedly that there can be no correlation

a rather mild course of the disease itself and a rather long and difficult course of the rehabilitation period of recovery. it can be accompanied with the defeat of almost all the organs of the body. it can be the nervous system of the cardiovascular system and so on and so forth. and uh, very important u for every person. and take this seriously, because even a lethal case is noted not a duck of the species from the consequences of the blood of the release of the species, and this is the problem of rehabilitation of the treatment is already the consequences of kind. it is now coming to the fore, given these factors and what reproaches all the same and its consequences continue to be dangerous and the autumn season is ahead. this is not only, but the coronavirus is also a seasonal mushroom, but from a practical point of view. how to protect yourself is very important for a person to

be afraid of these diseases. yes, they remain serious and sometimes deadly e in all countries of the world, including the russian federation, the tactics of prevention have changed. uh to uh, corona virus infection, by the way, say there are no changes to the flu, vaccination against e, influenza remains relevant and is now being carried out just e vaccination campaign against influenza. i think the first thing to do now is to get the flu shot. relations to the species, of course, all the precautions that we already know perfectly well remain relevant . uh, and we must remember, by the way, saying that covid is not only an airborne transmission route, but also a household contact route. this is hand washing. this is processing, there are dishes, and so on and so forth. further, and with regard to masks hmm, there are a lot of discussions, quite a lot of studies that

give different results, but still, from my point of view, with regard to masks, it is necessary, who are the representatives of the risk group, what kind of people are these people who are older than the age of sixty five years; and people who have comorbid cardiovascular episodes. well, who suffered some kind of coronary syndrome and so on and so forth. and uh people who have diabetes. here are these, well all these are groups risk, it is in general. it is already known these people understand, uh, the danger for them to get a coronavirus infection, and for such people in a room where there is a large crowd of people, where there is no good ventilation, wearing masks is definitely relevant for them. what kind of masks? is a regular surgical mask enough? or is it still a respirator should be ffp2, well, which we know

as akn-95 after all, well, again, different studies were from different points of view, but still, most of the studies show that you still have more respirators effective for prevention of coronavirus infection, although it does not have one hundred percent protection. this is in relation to masks and behavior and, of course, the most difficult questions. the most important question. there are a lot of questions about vaccination against coronavirus infection. people are asking. what is there to do? yes , i have already taken root, it is necessary to repeat what to do with the flu at the same time or not all over the world, and the tactics of vaccination against the corona virus infection has changed, if earlier we remember there was such a goal to vaccinate everyone completely adult population. yes, and even children, that is, now e hmm tactics have changed and this decision on the need for vaccination has become more

individual, that is, a more individual approach depending on the immune status of each person for the risk group for them, of course. this remains the most relevant. this is becoming more relevant for healthcare professionals, especially those who are constantly dealing with coronavirus infection. we must understand that the immune defense of each person against coronavirus infection. she is gradually weakening. this is an absolutely proven fact, so every person should first of all. analyze your situation, and you need to consult a doctor first of all, but nevertheless, here is the decision on whether to do vaccination revaccination booster vaccination or not to do it. still, a person should take it based on his specific individual immunological status. thank you very much vladimir grigorievich, you
