they overcome obstacles, slowly, the track is not easy, there are exercises on balance , the ability to control and monitor the functionality of their prosthesis, silent support of fans, after all, you need maximum concentration. vitaly stepanov takes part in such competitions for the first time, after the amputation of the third tibia of his right leg, a little more than a year has passed, in the summer of twenty-third he was wounded in the svo zone, he stepped on a mine. after rehabilitation, the attack aircraft of the twelfth tank regiment again firmly stood on his feet, and now confidently goes to victory. the route, at first glance, seems really difficult, or rather seems easy, but when people with disabilities try to pass, a lot of difficulties arise. the open championship is held in seven disciplines of the upper limbs, forearm shoulder prosthesis, lower limbs, hip and shin prostheses, training is currently underway in these disciplines, as well as for pilots of exoskeletons, wheelchairs with electric drive and neurointerfaces, a total of more than 150 participants. not only

cybots compete, but also teams of manufacturers, presenting their products. in one of these, philip shibo, armed with one of his company's developments. this is a foot that allows easy running, here, and also in use in everyday life, well, everyday life, here, because it has a heel, there is a roll, well, and also the shape, if you look, the shape is very progressive, with long levers, made of composite material. the titled olympian addressed the cybathletes with parting words, there must be a goal, a task, this is the most important thing, because if you believe in what you are doing, strive and see your goal, then everything else fades into the background, so we need to focus on what is hard, yes... maybe impossible somewhere,

but we know that the impossible is possible. sports excitement is not the only reason why cybotathletes from all over the country come to moscow for the now annual competitions. this is a meeting place for friends and like-minded people. it is great that this is not just a municipal event at the municipal level, it is an open championship, people come from all cities, there are also foreign participants, all together with muscovites compete and play for the mayor's prize and awards. interest is growing, because it's like a chain reaction, one came , liked it, and everyone likes it, that is , for some reason, all the people wait for this event for a whole year, and not just to, say, compete for medals, but to meet , communicate, hug, yes, show off prostheses, i have a new prosthesis, i can do this, do this, that is, it's some kind of, i don't know, forum, it's somehow a festival, a festival is the best word for this event. yuri is already here

not the first time, in the past i participated in a four-wheel drive electric stair climber, in this i chose the rear drive for a more dynamic passage of the route, the power reserve of such a stroller is up to 70 km, the speed is also higher than the average walking pace. well, first of all, this is still communication, communication and exchange of experience, because many here exchange experience for themselves solve those problems that they could not solve at home on their own, and here they consulted, they were prompted by something, someone else prompted. more experienced, and thus this is in a social home, self-service much more qualitatively and better than to achieve everything on the internet yourself. the permanent track for the championship is equipped in the only one in russia and the phoenix center of assistive technologies. this is the thirty- seventh pavilion at vdnkh. on one site , the city, developers, users of these innovations help each other to make the lives of people with disabilities more comfortable and better. here are our patients,

just those who are participating with us now, we have been participating for the fourth year in a row, so we have two patients participating on shin prostheses and two two on hip prostheses, and accordingly they try to change knee modules every year to try some level of activity in different types of themselves, and accordingly they also try to change feet, sports foot, it can only be used only in sports, that is, roughly speaking, how you come to training, change clothes. capabilities, technology, inventions devices that are used daily by people with disabilities thanks to the new platform, inventors have the opportunity to present their the latest developments. dmitry gerosimuk shows: a working prototype of a device for

communicating with, perhaps, one of the most difficult categories of people, the deaf-blind. a great many blind people came to the world of deaf-blindness from the world of the hearing-sighted, who before that had... to receive information, it only receives, this is generally even, as the english say, proof of concept, proof of concept, each sensor of this body keyboard vibrates once when the interlocutor presses a letter , the user remembers the location of the keys, will be able to easily find out what they are talking about, in

the future he will be able to answer in the same way, there are about 15 million deafblind people in the world with the help of this device the developer hopes to help establish interaction with them. base, so at this capital enterprise the market is formed its own production they produce more than half a thousand professional wheelchairs per year according to individual orders, like an exclusive car, the measurements of the client are taken for more than one hour so that

the person feels extremely comfortable in the chair, today it is actually a premium studio, although once everything started small, before that we sat for 20 years. in the basement of a residential building, where i did not write, to whom i did not contact, all my requests remained unanswered, so well, here is a huge request, a huge gratitude, this is directly to sergei semenovich sobyanin, of course, for the fact that we were provided with such a room where we could realize ourselves to the maximum, but i want to say that of course in 10 years and the volume has increased, the devices create jobs for people who know the specifics equipment, as they say from the inside. i think that better than people who understand what it is to live in a wheelchair, and use

a wheelchair, but no one else will understand how to assemble it correctly and what a disabled person who uses a wheelchair needs. like wheelchairs that are created exclusively for the needs of a pilot, as they call the person who controls it, for fencing, basketball and other sports, active modules of limb prostheses are also created. today, technology is at such a stage that even an artificial hand or leg, is capable, if not completely replace healthy parts of the body, then repeat their functions, even for the most extreme sports. snowboarding, vekbord, surfing, motocross, snowmobiles, that's where it is present. squat mechanics, that is, this knee helps a person, and to correctly implement the biomechanics of the squat, we have here not only this polycentric knee, it not only bends in one axis, but also it has an ankle simulation, that is, when bending the knee, we have a little more prosthesis

forward, thereby we have vertical center gravity walks vertically. ready-made prosthetic solutions consist of many components, all of which today successfully meet the need. produced including in moscow, for example, this is the lightest example of a hydraulic knee module of the existing ones, only 720 g, thanks to the aluminum alloy design. at the very beginning, the development was based on an american model, one of the common models, but it had shortcomings. in the import-substituted version, all the shortcomings were eliminated, as a result, we got one of the best examples in the world. thanks to the search for our own solutions, we got unique equipment. the americans told us that there are. oil leaks, there is a cable break, there is overheating, we added a radiator, we strengthened the design of the valve - valve cover, this place is already, we found the problem, why it leaks and fixed it, accordingly, we generally uh

made a small reinforcement and made our model, plus we have small clarifications in this hydraulic system, our own solutions, due to which we managed to get two patents. each module is packed in a separate box, and the finished product looks more like a modern high-tech electronic gadget, although in some ways it is. and any assembled knee model design we produce goes through 3.00 steps here, after which we check it and pack it in a box. in addition to the functionality for full use, the prosthesis must also have an aesthetic component, and in phoenix, manufacturers of such special panels are also represented. the pads create a shape over the rough base of the prosthesis are capable of repeat almost any wishes of the client. daria from the first year of life with prosthetics. began to wear the most primitive models, but today uses a comfortable module for her needs, throughout her life

she experienced strangers' looks and uncomfortable questions from friends, but today after the so-called cosmetic upgrade she feels much more confident. before, of course, in my wardrobe as a whole it was just trousers, or a floor-length dress, well, we all want to wear a dress, ah-ah, but it is precisely due to this aesthetics that i now have in wardrobe, probably, most of the summer wardrobe, yes, it is... dresses, in which there are some shorts , of course, it is very pleasant for me internally, because well, i still made this choice and decided that damn, why hide it, it can be shown, plus i do not limit myself in any way in comfort. those who use the developments and those who create them feel more confident every year. the assistive industry is developing actively and largely thanks to. support, the city's support measures are very are diverse, there are financial

support measures, manufacturing companies can participate in a pilot testing program and test their products both on public and private sites, you can also take part in various industry events where you can find new clients, new partners. involvement of all participants.

in 2001, immediately after the famous terrorist attack of september 11, the washington post announced the existence of a connection between the trade in african diamonds and the international terrorism. in this regard, the americans decided to bring. "do you know how much blood is on your diamonds, that's how legitimate western diamonds came to be bloody. the americans , their partners, who were the metropolis, pumping resources out of africa for centuries, have become fighters for human rights."

where is he going? yes, i remember that he is trying to prove that yes, arab countries are buying, but it's not only arab countries, we know, we know, we know a lot of information, and even during the operation in barkana and so on or just the un mission in malia in region, we know that they exported, you know, so yes try now yes their responsibility on the arab countries. they buy in large quantities, but even if they buy, who goes where next? it is clear

that the report yes, there to speak, they will not say that yes, switzerland is the first in the world purer yes gold, where it goes, that's what it goes and decide, so you understand, these are people who like to imagine themselves, well, to teach a lesson to others, but in themselves do not look in the mirror, who they themselves are ... there is, unfortunately, it must be said that africa, throughout its history in unequal economic relations, first with europe, and then with the countries of the collective... west acted as a source of resources, and these relations, of course, were exploitative, the resources of africa were used to enrich the europeans, and later the americans. it is in this context that the term "blood diamonds" appears, and what is meant by this term: these are

diamonds that are mined in areas of armed conflict, initially it was... angola and the money from the sale of diamonds goes to financing of these conflicts. why diamonds? because they are highly liquid, small and at the same time very expensive. and besides, significant deposits of them are located in africa, in conflict regions. therefore, of course, they are used by rebels to finance their struggle. actually, even soviet scientists in the eighties of the last century said that africa is the continent of the 21st century, because firstly, there is also an additional plus to everything, these are also all the useful minerals, the point is that they are in russia too, we have practically the entire periodic table, yes, like in africa, but we have it deep in order to extract it, it requires huge, huge resources, yes, to dig all these pits, these huge

machines, well, you understand, in africa, well, i think so, but nevertheless, all this can be dug up and extracted with a shovel, therefore , that is, accordingly, these costs for extracting all this are reduced , everyone understands this perfectly well, if we say conditionally there 30 years ago, when we did not have it with you mobile phones and there were no super jets or any fighters there, which now, well, we look at military equipment, it ’s mind-boggling, yes, i mean, what’s going on, but it’s all precisely thanks to these rare minerals, you understand, why everyone again went to africa, because it was there...

they got rich, yes, all the countries prospered, the west was built precisely on the blood of africans, asians, that is, india, and so on, latin americans, they don’t realize it, they don’t realize it, they don’t understand what i’m saying, that the world is different, the world is different, they still don’t, they don’t realize what’s happening, they ’re always trying, right now to respond to russia, to china, and india, that is, but...

he gave a famous speech about the decolonization of africa and it was presented that it meant that the majority of african countries had acquired their independence, well, the rest of them further , well, in the next 2-3 years literally, but it was formal, it was on paper, in essence, this didn’t happen, and nevertheless, that is, the french, the belgians and the british, they continued to behave like this with impunity, and they have behaved like this for the last, well, there for 30 years for sure, only now this process is beginning, as it is now called decolonization, already a neo-decolonization, because africans of course understand that they do not want to live like this anymore, well, in fact, in such a slave existence, that is why they are looking at us and asking russia, that is, we just said at the last summit, at the second one,

that we can give you, we cannot give you money, yes, we will give you an education and give you technologies, that is, we do not give you fish, we give you a fishing rod. yes, and that is why of course the europeans do not like it, because well, and they begin to acquire, that is , to think about their existence, they want to build their country, well, and the life of their children and their own the way they want, yes, like, well , like normal people all over the world, but until now gold, diamonds and other minerals and natural resources are mined in africa practically with the help of slave labor, including child labor. times they still have a monopoly on them, yes, on mining, here minerals, that is, gold, diamonds, everything you can imagine, that is why they

hold the economic , i mean the country's economy, that is what determines, well, as they say, yes, whoever has the economy, that determines, accordingly, these are again the laws of nature, what happens, really , let's say, in such regions, especially in west africa and even why not in south africa, where the traditional way, right? and you are talking about the fact that children, yes, because first of all, they are forced to do this in order to survive first of all, the consequences colossal, not only for health, because these are chemicals, yes, which are used for yes land, gold and so on, this of course has a negative impact on the health of children, mainly not to mention nature, there you can and there are pictures where it is terrible, i don’t know how much time is needed to develop it?

to which not only states joined, but for media coverage , ngos joined, international, non-governmental mainly western, of course, organizations, then there was a campaign against blood diamonds, very widely reported in the press, that be my valentine, but blood flows down the diamond, that this is not really romantic, and cannot be romantic what supports... armed confrontation, in addition, large suppliers of diamonds joined in, who actually bought, but in fact it was

extremely difficult to track the real origin of the diamonds, and therefore most of the reports of restrictions remained on paper. subsequently , russia also joined the imberley process, we supported the efforts of the international community here, since not only diamonds from angola. from other conflict regions of africa, but in fact they became part of this black market, according to various estimates, despite all the efforts of the west, up to 20% of all diamonds that were circulating on the market were from conflict regions, that is, in general, this was largely a pr campaign for ngos, and the pr of the company to form a positive image of the manufacturers of these jewelry of the western countries themselves, but this all remained a paper and... initiative, about which one could talk a lot from high platforms, but at the same time real commercial interests were not affected in any way, and what is interesting here is that

fashionable technologies, including qr codes , blockchain today assign diamonds to different batches, it is believed that... that there is a very large number of artisanal, small, local productions, this is not quite true in reality, because the rule is developing countries, where labor is cheap, therefore these qr codes are assigned, assigned in fact and do not reflect the real state of affairs, in reality , this is more of a marketing move for that, so that the us, their companies, their ngos, western ones, could show how they care about human rights in africa. there is another interesting detail

to this situation, the european union decided to refuse russian diamonds, in january of 2024, they announced this, and in the spring the corresponding initiative comes into force, again the fact that the camberley process itself remained only on paper, inspires a certain optimism for russian suppliers, although our diamonds are mined in compliance with all norms, all rules, they absolutely cannot be equalized with bloody. mazami, nevertheless we in the world, obeys its own laws, but, to see that this pr machine, it lives in its happiness, in practice, where

it concerns... real money and real power, these laws almost never work , remain only on the front pages, on paper and on advertising accounts, i think that it the west will go to escalation, why i say again, because they have no other way or other sources of survival, no, i will give a specific example, let's say, now we take the energy issue, yes, they quarreled, excuse the expression with russia, and that's it... when it always divides, either to engage in economics, or to engage in politics, you can't combine two things, it won't do, yes, to quarrel with russia, but what is the relation here to oil and gas, you understand, and they don't realize that they lived during their development in the west is based precisely on russian energy, they still don't even realize that they became so, they are so

thanks to russia, they don't realize this, in this too with africa, you understand, that's why i i say that i will not escalate because they know, and what is in the west, in the west it is clear, they have the technology, and where do the resources come from from other regions, from africa, from asia, russia and so on, it is on this that their hegemony is based.

ivan, ah, so we are namesakes. what a fairy tale, without ivan. eh, eh, what started? without deception and without flint. you, likhodi, have imprisoned me in the fires. a pen, a self-written one, magic ink, will you get it? the main thing is, van, hurry up. so give me a horse? a mechanical one. yes. hit yourself on the head, you do have a nickname, where need, that's what they call me, because i'm not taking you where you fool want, where you need to go, i can't live without traveling, flint, he who has a flint in his pocket doesn't need a pen, soon, the all-russian state television and radio broadcasting company, with the support of the ministry of digital development, communications and
