the lancet was hit with a lancet, such an event does not happen every day, the fact that there are leopards, well, we will continue to search , find, hit, reconnaissance from the air, plus well-coordinated work, this is the key to the success of our fighters, and as they say, where is there one leopard, not far from the second, third, tenth, fifteenth, to take off the shoes of german cats, our guys have certainly learned, data and coordinates have arrived. reacted quickly, that is, the entire crew immediately immediately began their official duties, so we aimed at the command and fired, a few minutes later we were corrected, so we hit the tank’s gusle, thereby we stopped it with our crew, as our live fire showed, that is, it is not so vaunted, it stopped just like everything else stops these... payments to russian military personnel are additional to those that the russian ministry of defense pays for

in a combat sense, to work, of course, this is one of such iconic good examples of courage and heroism, i understand that when there is a battle, no one thinks about it, you probably only think about how to work in a combat sense, how to repel an enemy attack , but you did it... it turned out exactly as it is called today, after it became known, and this is exactly what it is, this is heroism, in the literal sense of the word, i tell you i want to thank you for this, wish you success, russia stands for latin america to be strong, independent, successful and is ready to build interaction on a bilateral basis for these purposes, vladimir putin said this at a meeting with parliamentarians from

latin american states who arrived to moscow. alexey petrov, about the prospects. there is a warm, friendly atmosphere on the sidelines, some take pictures against the backdrop of flags, others broadcast directly from here on social networks. we came to show our trust, affection for russia, brotherhood and friendship with the russian people. we are very warm. accepted in russia, we came here by taxi and the driver didn’t even want to take money from us. the president of russia addresses the meeting participants, emphasizing the importance of parliamentary diplomacy. i note that in the look. on international issues, russia and the states of latin america traditionally have a lot in common: latin americans have always strived for independence, this was the case during the struggle against colonialism during the the famous simon bolivar, this was also the case in the second half of the last century, when the continent gave the world such selfless fighters

for justice and social equality as salvador allenda and ernest chaguivar. the cuban leader gained special sympathy from the residents of our country and back in the soviet years, vladimir putin personally met with him, here is footage from 2000, this meeting took place in the beginning. i remember my meetings with fidelius castro, there were several of them, he was a lump, this is a man who thought about people, every second, and not only about cubans, he thought about all the people on... on earth, these are the people latin america gives birth to, it would not be an exaggeration to say that now in such a new polycentric state architecture in latin america with their enormous economic potential and human resources, and the desire to pursue a sovereign independent foreign policy, will

have one of the leading roles in the world, there is no doubt about it. such a special relationship is the best explanation. why is there such great interest in cooperation with russia in latin america? column hall of the house of unions full of parliamentarians, experts, diplomats from different countries, the very fact of holding such a conference in moscow makes it clear that any attempts to isolate russia have failed. latin america has colossal resources and a unique culture. some deputies stood out in particular. i represent one of the indigenous peoples of bolivia, this is our traditional sambrera. yana. russia sincerely wants the countries of latin america to develop progressively, notes vladimir putin, one of the mechanisms for more dynamic development of the brix. brix is ​​not some kind of military alliance is simply a platform for coordinating positions and developing acceptable, mutually acceptable solutions

based on the independence of respect for each other. no matter what happens in the political spheres in political parties, everyone will still have to focus on the mood of the people, which means that strategically we will certainly cooperate on those issues that are key to the brix agenda. meetings between state duma speaker vyacheslav volodin and heads of delegations, including chairman of the central american parliament parlacen, amada sirud aciveda. you. took a principled position in support of the russian federation and in all international organizations, such a position deserves respect, and once again i would like to say words of gratitude in your face to everyone who understands the situation, how difficult it is and is doing everything in their power to

support building a fair world order. parlacen recently became an observer... in eurolatia, we want to use this opportunity to warn or hinder the actions of european countries, condemn russia in the context of the crisis in ukraine, the countries of latin america - that same global south, where there is increasing irritation from the unipolar world of the west’s attempts to dictate its terms, conditions have created exactly the kind that are now pushing for active contacts countries of africa, latin america and beyond, who want... to see their future in a multipolar, fair world. i believe that the expansion of brix to 11 countries, which was recently held at the forum, this is a very big sign to all globalist forces, especially the americans, who want to strangle any country with their sanctions, and without thinking about the consequences, exploit developing

countries, modern financial and credit relations are built in the world in such a way that... they serve exclusively the interests of the so-called golden billion, they are this golden billion, more precisely, the leaders of these countries of the golden billion, they exploit almost all others countries of the world, they abuse their position, these loan obligations, this is some kind of quitrent, you know, this is some kind of indemnity, but this should not happen, against this background, the goods trade of russia... to latin america has increased by 25% over the last 5 years. russian exports have more than doubled. in latin america, russian tourists also value visa-free relations with 27 countries. and recently returned to cuba. i will soon be 18

years old, i want to participate in the life of my country, i didn’t let you in, no, i have to go, i have to figure out what’s going on with these words came, someone came here, mom, i didn’t go there, but i went to the station with the people, brace yourself, you need to bury him, i was watching tv and i saw natalya near the white house in a dressing gown, and what a conversation he had, you would have kept her, i would have done everything to prevent her from being there, the most sincere and honest guys , well, that’s where they got this desperation to protect the weak, they protected me, i was 13 then, i ran away from home, entered the barricades, so that i could do everything myself see remember. you've probably heard about the resort fee, it is also sometimes called tourist, and saw the news that it would appear in st. petersburg.

why this fee is needed and how it is paid, and also about who is entitled to benefits, we will tell you in 5 minutes in the program instructions, the experiment with a tax on tourists has been going on since 2018, visitors to unique places pay money that goes directly to the regional budget, so at the edge, area or other. a subject of the federation has an additional incentive to develop its tourism sector and attract even more guests. no additional influx there is less money and less opportunity to do something for tourists. basically, regions fill their budgets with taxes and property salaries. these income items are almost independent of travelers. but the costs of garbage removal and maintenance of places where crowds of tourists go are growing, and do we need to somehow cover the costs? according to the law, the size of the fee, the methods of its transfer to the budget and the territories where it operates, are determined by the regional authorities themselves. at the federal level, the tax is prescribed to be no more than 100 rubles per day per person. this year

six regions have the opportunity to conduct resort fees: in the republic of crimea, in the altai, krasnodar and stavropol territories, in st. petersburg in the federal territory of sirius. but not all regions enjoy this right. for example, in crimea the tax was canceled in march of this year. crimea. i would like to collect, i think, up to a billion rubles from the existing tourist flow, yes, but there are probably other sources of income, in addition, look, in conditions when the tourist flow is declining, the authorities are focused on supporting tourism, yes, in this situation, well, it’s still necessary choose one thing, help your own, yes, but at the expense of your own resources, if the authorities decided to save their industry at the expense of tourists, but this would probably not be very good at all, in st. petersburg from october the rate will be equal to zero, from april 1 next year it will immediately increase to 100 rubles.

a transition period with a zero rate is needed to establish the procedure for collecting money; this is done by law by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who temporarily accommodate guests, that is , hotels, hostels, boarding houses, sanatoriums, etc. etc. if you come to a region where there is a resort fee with a tent or live with friends or relatives, then you will not have to pay this fee. the fee is not collected from minor property owners in the resort area, and the law also stipulates several more preferential categories, these are students under 24 years of age, compulsory medical insurance patients, low-income families, and disabled people of the first and second groups. also, benefits are enjoyed by participants in combat operations, heroes of russia and the soviet union, liquidators of nuclear accidents, athletes, specialists in the field physical education, tuberculosis patients and employees of local enterprises. the tax is paid separately. it cannot be included in the price of the room or location. the fee is not charged on the day of arrival, but the day

of departure is considered. if you refuse to pay the resort fee, you can receive a fine from 500 to 2,000 rubles. after calling the police, hotel employees must report this fact to the regional ministry of tourism, which is responsible for monitoring the collection of funds. this is in contrast to, say, violations of traffic rules movements of some obvious violations to identify the fact of a person’s residence, say, in the private sector, if he does not pay the resort fee, this is still more difficult than recording, say, a violation of the speed limit or the fact of hooliganism on the street, now in some regions established in krasnodar , for example, in the region, fines for if we are talking specifically about citizens who must... that is , about tourists, about vacationers, fines in the amount, if memory serves, from 500 to 2,000 rubles. it is important that the fee does not apply throughout territory of the region, but only in some

cities where there are the most tourists, and now the specifics: we’ll tell you about where you need to pay a little extra for a vacation this year. in the altai territory, only in the city of belokurikha, 50 rubles per day, in the krasnodar territory 50 rubles per day in sochi, in other places, anapa, gelendzhik, hot spring, in some settlements of the tuapse and yeisk region 30 rubles per day. on the federal territory of sirius 50 rubles per day, in the stavropol region, specifically in yasentuki, zheleznovodsk, veslovodsk pyatigorsk the fee is 100 rubles per day for person. so, let’s repeat the main thing: there is an additional tax for tourists in some tourist cities; next year it will appear in st. petersburg. its amount does not exceed 100 rubles per day per adult; children and beneficiaries do not need to pay it. if you have any questions, if you want to know more about the features of domestic tourism, write to us in telegram. we will take your wishes into account and will tell you everything in the next issues of our instructions.
