vladimir putin expressed condolences to the president of nepal in connection with a plane crash, a passenger plane crashed while landing. in the vicinity of the city. pokhara. all 72 people on board died this morning. among them, four russians on the spot, the crash found the remains of 68 people, the search for four more was interrupted from the onset of darkness. they will continue this morning

twin-engine aircraft atr-72, heading along the route kathmandu along the chorus, four crew members and 68 passengers. among them, four russians, aviation authorities, did not fall, named their names. this is elena bandura. viktoria altukhina yuri and viktor lygin are these photos on social networks, 33-year-old elena bandura posted literally on the eve of departure from the same ill-fated yeti airlines flight going to nepal in anticipation, the russian woman wrote at 10:30 am local time, the plane took off from kathmandu to side of pokhara city, located in the western part of this mountainous country and was already landing, communication with the aircraft was lost. 20 minutes after departure, the total flight time does not exceed 25 minutes. on these frames, filmed by eyewitnesses, it can be seen that before crashing into the gorge of the river network, already at low altitude, the plane abruptly lay down on the left side.

apparently the pilot made one last effort to get the car away from the densely populated city where a big fair is held on sundays. after the crash, the plane caught fire and at first local authorities announced the death of everyone, on board, however, after several hours, a rescue operation from the wreckage in serious condition, but managed to extract two people alive. both citizens. nepal later from his injuries. they die in the hospital. in total, there were 15 foreigners on board the crashed plane, except for four russians, five indians, citizens of korea, ireland, australia and france and argentina, the official causes of the accident are not yet called by the prime minister. nepal convened an emergency meeting of the government of a terrible incident, rescue the operation involved all the forces of the nepalese police army now the international airport in nikolsky city. hara is closed and the whole world is again discussing the issue of air travel safety in nepal,

rugged highlands, rarefied air. unpredictable. weather, nepalese, airfields are considered one of the most dangerous in the world for the most part, of which there is no possibility of entering the second circle. and the runways literally rest against the mountain. all of this, plus a lack of investment and poor regulation, led to 27 deaths. catastrophes over the past 30 years of power. nepal declared tomorrow a day of national mourning in memory of the victims of this largest in three decades. every year, dozens of tourists die in this country during the conquest of everest, however, the most tragic disasters are connected precisely with the sky 4 years ago, the minister of tourism died in a helicopter crash. nepal, however, tens of thousands of foreigners annually experience their fate in this most mountainous state on the planet dmitry melnikov vladislav dodonov south asian bureau of children. russian troops are developing an offensive in the donetsk direction, an

official representative of the ministry of defense said today. igor konoshenkov. our troops are advancing towards the northern outskirts, artyomovskaya and the railway station salt . read more about the course of the special military operation anton podkovenko. the western press is preparing the ground for the surrender of artyomovsk under the unambiguous headline of the bloody siege and the risks for ukraine, the authors of the washington post count. how much more can they spend to protect the city and immediately hint that bakhmut is called artyomovsk in the square and allegedly has no strategic significance at all. and why, then, kiev clung to it for so many months, losing people and equipment and continues to lose every day, our assault detachments are advancing in the donetsk direction in cooperation with units of the airborne troops, with the support of army aviation, missile forces and artillery, the southern military district developed success in the direction of the northern outskirts of the city of artyomovsk of the donetsk people's republic and at the salt railway station

, more than 80 ukrainian military personnel were destroyed during the day, two tanks, three armored combat vehicles and three cars in the kupinsky direction , up to fifty air defense units were destroyed by artillery fire during the day. and ninety-second mechanized brigades lost the same number in the south-donetsk direction, and on the red limansky they have minus 115 people per day, three armored vehicles and three pickup trucks, destroyed by air strikes and artillery, including a self-propelled one, ironing positions like this vsu. our acacia gunners of the southern military district are in touch with the crews of drones that fly out for reconnaissance and correct the accuracy of the fire, the accumulation of personnel, and the armored vehicles, respectively, immediately transmitted the coordinates of the calculation to the

paddles . on the day the calculation of the observant area on fire position, when the target arrives leaves about 20-25 times at least, impressive retaliation missile strikes on the energy infrastructure related to the ukrainian system of military command. this is how the turbine department of the burshtyn tpp looks like now, this is posted by ukrainian publics, the minister, galushchenko, confirmed the hit on energy facilities in kharkiv, lvov , ivano-frankivsk, zaporizhia, vinnitsa, kiev regions, a missile attack was launched on the military command and control system of ukraine and its associated facility. energy. all assigned objects hit target russian missiles hit civilian targets destroyed infrastructure in kiev kharkov vinnytsia ivan dnepropetrovsk, which was left without electricity, even the highways were illuminated, odessa, where

electric transport stood up, all this energy is connected with military strategic facilities that are involved, including in the delivery of weapons to the front, the difficult situation in ukraine in the energy sector. this was stated by the head of detekharuk that the damage is serious, that there will be blackouts and even difficult days of the week are ahead. but this is only the beginning of the year anton podkovenko to lead. stop arming ukraine and start peace talks with such demands on the streets of new york, came out, the protesters shouted slogans against nato and advocated the redistribution of budgetary funds for the needs of american citizens, criticizing the policies of the authorities, the french also came out to protest. the audience also condemned the sending of weapons to ukraine, according to them , the fifth republic needs to leave nato and the european union how the soviet nuclear shield was created, how the world's first nuclear

power plant was launched his work saved the world from world war iii, although carried colossal destructive power kurchatov was among those who first realized that these weapons should not be used, how igor kurchatov created the nuclear shield of the ussr fold without folding the world's nuclear power plant. what is it possible that this man-made sun on earth

igor kurchatova calls the father of the soviet atomic bean, but this is just one of his

many achievements, which to serve as a noble safe for the progress of human society, the rabbit and his contribution to world science go far beyond the creation of nuclear weapons, the current configuration of the world exists and kurchatov is one of its main architects of this world. kurchatov was certainly a strong organizer, although this role is more attributed to pavlovich in time, but he managed to create a team only in the kurchatov center there are so many twice heroes thrice heroes of socialist labor these people were individually selected throughout the country by igor vasilievich korchatov. in 1956, the soviet delegation headed by nikita khrushchev is on a state visit to great britain as part of the delegation of the scientific director of the ussr atomic program igor

kurchatov. this is the first visit of a scientist abroad. here is how the united press correspondent describes his appearance on the streets of london . a tall soviet nuclear scientist was also greeted with exclamations of greeting, who wears an amazing black beard 10 inches long, descending down to his chest, you need to understand that this is the peak of the cold war the tension between the west and the ussr is huge, both sides during the visit are convinced that the world is going through extremely dangerous times and any efforts that can ease the tension between the east and the west must be taken, and this was kurchatov's idea. kurchatov 's visit to the uk was not london, but a modest the settlement where the scientific research atomic center was located offers the nobel prize. reactions are

areas of research at that time strictly classified in the uk and the british fear that the soviet scientist will ask a lot of questions that they are not allowed to answer. imagine their surprise when, instead of asking their english colleagues about their work. igor kurchatov himself began to share information that would be declared sensational immediately after the lecture .

here, a book of successes, modern science, fell into his hands, after reading which the schoolboy kurchatov decided to become an engineer and in 1920 he entered the tauride university at the faculty of physics and mathematics. there are various documents here. the earliest dates back to the twenty-third year. certificate that kurchatov igor vasilyevich was in the service of the crimean university in the position of a preparation, that the signature was not printed, he makes sure that the archives of the kurchatov institute contain the rarest documents of the correspondence of young igor with his first love, a girl named vera, in small sheets. and all these letters with paper were then unimportant, so the paper was a banal saving. here is such a neat one, and very beautiful calligraphic handwriting a and

vera igor vasilievich, as we know, had the same , perhaps one of the first to discern in a young man, the main thing that will become the content of his whole life is the passion for science. your detachment from the vanities of this life delights me, going into science. you collect such spiritual forces that life will never give you and come out into life, you are strong, not broken and rich in soul. after all, this is the most valuable thing. why their correspondence was interrupted and whether they met after unknown historians conducted a whole investigation to find out what then happened to vera, it turned out that soon after the break with kurchatov, she got married. her descendants in st. petersburg have preserved the

second part of the correspondence of kurchatov's letter. we saw these letters for the first time. the letters are beautiful. igor dreamed of becoming a theologian. he was very fond of philosophy after the marriage of vera , igor also got married. he married maria sinelnikova, the sister of his friend and colleague, the spouses will carry their love and devotion to each other through their whole lives in 1941 in newspaper. true, the main newspaper of the soviet union published a report from the leningrad physicist's technical institute. there, the construction of the largest accelerator of charged particles in europe, the cyclotron, was completed, with the help of which the work was controlled. plato with the help of this remote control

was able to control and regulate. uh, for example, a high-frequency magnetic field vacuum, this news was supposed to thunder throughout the country, but it was not noticed. the newspaper was published on june 22 , 1941. it was printed the day before, when no one could have imagined that through a few hours will be declared an agile attack by fascist germany on the soviet union 4 o'clock in the morning german troops attacked our country attacked our borders in many places for the second year, but the war completely stopped all work on the study of the nucleus in the ussr. when the germans began to tighten the

blockade ring around leningrad, the most valuable parts of the installation were dismantled and hidden under the ground scientists will play an important role in the soviet atomic project, which will be led by igor kurchatov interesting, very sevastopol city council the award department is sent a certificate addressed to the mipt scientific consultant kurchatov igor vasilyevich and his direct participation in the defense of sevastopol, issued on january 31, 1944, and a reference to comrade kurchatov for issuing him a badge for the defense of sevastopol at the beginning of the war as volunteers and on conscription to the front left, almost half employees of the leningrad physicotechnical institute. igor kurchatov was eager to defend his country on a par with the rest. he filed

an application addressed to the director of the institute, academician avraham, with a request to let him go to militia fight the enemy not on the battlefield, but in a scientific laboratory. and he sent the scientist to his native crimea there, the future head of the atomic project, together with the physicist, anatoly alexandrov, took up demagnetization of ships at that time, the enemy widely used magnetic or non-contact mines , they supplied the magnetic minute with a magnetic fuse and when the ship passed over the mine or in its immediate vicinity it changed earth's magnetic field by the ship's magnetic field, which triggered the mine's magnetic fuse to deceive such measures and to avoid an explosion, the magnetic field of the metal hull of the ship was artificially reduced in 3 months. the kurchatov brigade demagnetized about 50 ships and

submarines of the black sea fleet. not a single such ship was blown up by a magnetic mine. at the beginning of 1942, academician yoff called kurchatov to kazan. by this time , the entire leningrad fest had been evacuated in the city, then there were severe frosts and kurchatov arrived from the southern territory in a light coat. immediately , he fell ill with severe pneumonia. he lay for a long time and for this it is hard and sick he didn’t have to puke his beard, and then he actually got this beard, famous for the question. when he shaved off his beard, the scientist answered with the words of a popular partisan song. that's when the fritz drove away there will be time, we will shave.

because of what behind his back they began to call him a beard kurchatov returned to work? he was summoned to moscow by stalin's deputy vyacheslav molotov, who was looking for a scientist capable of leading the soviet atomic project. initially , in the fall of 1941, intelligence received information that e in the united states

america and england began work on the creation of nuclear weapons, based on the information received, the leadership of the soviet union decided to develop its own atomic bomb. kurchatov became the only scientist who was admitted to all secret intelligence services. this is how stalin's deputy vyacheslav molotov later explained his choice . i have the youngest and still unknown kurchatov, he was not given a go. i he was summoned and talked about. he made a good impression on me. but he said that he still had a lot of ambiguities, so i decided to give him our intelligence materials. he got acquainted with

these materials and gave his conclusions, where he writes that this material has a great impression on the results of those studies that are pouring into the west, that the results of this work do not show conclusively, but to a large extent convince that the creation of the third year was? laboratory number two at the ussr academy of sciences for research on forty-year-old professor igor vasilievich kurchatov was appointed head of the laboratory for the development of nuclear weapons, 7 pyzhovsky lane, now the dokuchaev soil institute is here. and in august 1943 , kurchatov's headquarters was deployed in this building in two small rooms, a team of several of

his most reliable collectors. over the bomb of the two rooms of the headquarters there is not enough space for laboratory buildings equipment of installations all-union institute of experimental medicine. in the largest of them, the employees of

laboratory number two began to work and live for his wife. they also lived here at the very beginning. and then it’s like the red house was not plastered with bricks, it was called the red house, then it became the yellow house, which, in general, also had different interpretations, and then it became the main building and actually among the majority of employees. so it is called gdz main building. here, in fact, the boards meet us in our fathers, the founder kurchatov and alexander kurchatov will allow employees to take a plot of land for planting vegetables gardening in kurchatov. the institute flourished until the early fifties, these beds were. oh, grown. here. i now

recall carrots, beets, even saw cabbage before starting research. kurchatov fixed it. life in the laboratory number two in the archives of the institute there are dozens of documents that open kurchatov from an unexpected side. igor vasilievich was a brilliant business executive, heating and sewerage , food and daily routine, everything was under his control. he even took care of clothes for his employees to ensure receipt from the people's commissar of foreign affairs in december and the availability of woolen coats 50 pieces of woolen suits 50 pieces of shoes 70 pairs of people were engaged not only in scientific work, but also in the life of their employees. that's right up close. to start practical work, a cyclotron was needed to create an installation. in moscow, squeezed

from the hand was impossible, and the lfti cyclotron remained in the revived leningrad in 1943. the blockade was broken and in the spring of that year in leningrad on behalf of kurchatov with the help of soldiers sent by the military command, scientists loaded the equipment into two freight cars and sent to moscow a huge risk , there was no other option for the railway. there it was from the front at a distance of 12 kilometers, that is, it was within reach of long-range german artillery, every train run. it was a special operation. that is, before that, the train tracks were repaired, the trains went at night in the conditions of light masters. the assembly and adjustment of the cyclotron took more than a year, worked hard

scientists said that it was easier at the front. at least there is time for rest. the cyclotron in laboratory number two was launched at the end of august 1944. it was on it that igor kurchatov’s brother, radiochemist boris kurchatov , irradiating uranium in the accelerator, received the first plutonium in the soviet union, this radioactive metal is ideal for the production of nuclear weapons, but does not occur in nature. where to get so much plutonium to fill a bomb with it, it was already clear at that time that a large amount does not work for accelerators, and therefore the emphasis on the production of plutonium began to shift to the reactor. in the spring of 1944, kurchatov wrote to stalin for the first time. scientists outlined the main problem - the lack of

uranium for the construction of the reactor. a copy of the note came to molotov iberia, but no decisions were made in the kremlin . he wrote not as a scientist, but rather as a far- sighted politician abroad, on a scale unprecedented in the history of world science, a concentration of scientific and engineering forces that had already achieved the most valuable results that would correspond to the possibilities and significance of our great state in world culture. the dead spots moved , important decisions of the state defense committee were adopted, and lavrenty palychberia personally became the head of the atomic project. the fact that kurchatov, in fact, chose his own leader, was indirectly indicated by a number of documents. and recently, historians of the kurchatov

institute found direct confirmation of their guesses. in the scientist's safe, an inconspicuous document was kept among the drafts for 1944 in one from the points that he indicated, he was appointed directly as the head of work on the use of atomic energy inside, comrade. well, this document is of interest, because here kurchatov, as it were , is offering a leader in the use of energy in this. back in march 1942, beria informed stalin about what work was being done in the atomic sphere abroad and how far american and british scientists managed to advance. information about the american nuclear program was obtained by the best personnel of soviet foreign intelligence.

to note that the americans and the british took truly draconian security measures to protect information about the work they were doing. however, the soviet scouts were able to bypass all these obstacles and obtain much-needed materials for the creation of the soviet nuclear shield. kurchatov understood that beria was exactly the person who could provide the atomic project with the necessary scale and coordination of speed, despite his exceptional position in the party government. beren found time for personal contact that interested him people. even if these people did not have high titles and high positions.
