  3. The People's Prison Telegram Channel writes

     

    Naila Askerzadeh, one of Russia's key propagandists under sanctions from more than 20 countries had access to the VIP box at the World Cup final. Princes of Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Viktor Orban and Ilon Musk were there. 

     

    No random people are allowed into such sections. Naila got a golden ticket and ended up in the very pro-Kremlin hangout for a reason. We can only state that Elon Musk, who was once a symbol of progress, has become a toy in the hands of Putin's propagandists.

    During the putsch in 1991 he supported his superior, Yazov. But when Yazov was ousted, Moiseyev was appointed acting Defence Minister of the USSR... for one day... then they dismissed Moiseyev as well... :lol:

  7. Vyacheslav Bityutsky (02.10.1937-14.12.2022) died in Voronezh. Vyacheslav Bityutsky, a doctoral candidate in technical sciences, worked at an aviation plant, a research institute and the Voronezh Polytechnic. His life, like that of many citizens, took a sharp turn with the beginning of perestroika.

    Vyacheslav Bityutsky was one of those Voronezh residents who in the late 1980s initiated excavations in the forests of Dubovka, where thousands of people were shot during the Stalinist repressions. Thanks to his efforts, a memorial area appeared here.

  10. Dance is the child of music, and they can only die together

     

    Bulat Ayukhanov, Kazakh ballet dancer, choreographer and teacher, film actor, People's Artist of the Kazakh SSR, died on 13 December at the age of 84.

     

    In 1967, Ayukhanov founded the first choreographic miniatures ensemble in the history of arts and culture of Kazakhstan, "The Young Ballet of Alma-Ata". He positioned the ensemble as a company of soloists without the traditional corps de ballet and with almost every dancer having his or her own solo repertoire. In 2003, Ayukhanov's company became the State Academic Dance Theatre of Kazakhstan.

     

    Between 1965 and 2010 Ayukhanov created more than thirty ballets to music by Kazakh composers, including productions in Moscow, Montreal, Paris and London.

  12. On 9 December, a Georgian TV Formula channel published pictures of Saakashvili taken on 29 August 2022. The current condition is reportedly even worse and the politician cannot get up without help.

    A toxicological examination was carried out in America under the direction of Professor David Smith and found the presence of heavy metals and other poisonous substances, including mercury and arsenic. These substances are linked by the expert to Saakashvili's pathological symptoms.

    So far, two facts can be reliably stated:

    1. Bedros Kirkorov is in hospital

    2. Access to the hospital is closed

    There is a swine flu outbreak in Russia in 74 regions, there are dead people, so hospitals are only accepting "transfers" - food, clothes, missing medication.

  17. Composer Eduard Artemiev has been hospitalised in Moscow. The 85-year-old musician was diagnosed with a coronavirus and 30% lung damage four days ago. Medics assess Artemyev's condition as moderate, but it is complicated by numerous chronic heart abnormalities, as the patient has six coronary stents.

    The Soviet and Russian composer Eduard Artemiev wrote music for Andrei Tarkovsky's films "Solaris" (1972), "Zerkalo" (1975) and "Stalker" (1980); Nikita Mikhalkov's - "A Friend among Strangers and a Stranger among a Friend" (1974), "An Unfinished Piece for the Player Piano" (1977), "Burnt by the Sun" (1994) and others; Andrei Konchalovsky's -  "Sibiriad" (1978), "The Odyssey" (1997) and others.

    Artemiev's music was used in the opening and closing ceremonies of the XXII Summer Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980, and the XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014.
