A ninth-grade health and wellness textbook has caused a minor uproar in Russia after activist Yekaterina Mizulina — more commonly known for championing Internet censorship measures — unearthed excerpts showing dubious advice to young women about navigating the hostile world of male sexual predators. For example, the textbook urges schoolgirls to avoid wearing bright makeup and short skirts to prevent becoming victims of sexual violence, reasoning that such displays “provoke boys and men.” Despite claims from the book’s lead author that it’s not required reading in Russian schools, the victim-blaming lessons offered in the text have raised concerns that at least some schoolchildren are being subjected to a backward education in gender norms.

Sergey Vangorodsky, who coauthored The Foundations of Life Safety, told RTVI that Mizulina’s complaints are “unfounded” because the book is not standard reading in Russia’s high school curriculum.

However, several readers told Mizulina that the textbook is used in health and wellness classes at schools in Rostov-on-Don, Volgodonsk, and Tambov. It’s also available for sale online. “Given that not all school library collections are updated in a timely manner, it may still be in use in [other] schools. I’m confident that the Education Ministry will investigate the matter,” Mizulina wrote on her Telegram channel.

In a section called “Safe Behavior for Girls,” Vangorodsky and his coauthors write that women who are alone with a man “should be prepared for him to develop a desire for intimacy.” Here are some other eyebrow-raising snippets from The Foundations of Life Safety:

“Many conflicts and attacks occur due to the victim’s own behavior, signaling through her appearance that she is either ‘ripe for it’ (being in the wrong place at the wrong time), willing (too available), or defenseless (drunk, scared, aroused, [or] overly trusting). Avoid standing out among others with excessive extravagance.”

“If you are alone with a man (even one you know well), be prepared for him to develop a desire for intimacy with you. Maintain a relaxed demeanor, but do not try to flirt or tease him, as in an intimate setting, he may interpret your flirting as an invitation to intimacy and your resistance as playacting.”

“If you cannot escape or counter a rapist’s weapon or physical superiority, you can still defend yourself by leveraging men’s psychophysiological traits during sexual intercourse and targeting their vulnerable spots. Try to trick the rapist into believing you agree to intimacy, get him to lower his defenses, and then act decisively according to your chosen plan.”

“How not to become a victim of violence: When going to a party, a café, a bar, a concert, any large event, or somewhere with a bad reputation, do not wear very short skirts or paint your lips, eyelids, and eyelashes in wild colors. This provokes boys and men and is perceived by them as a signal.”

Бывший сотрудник ОМОНа приговорен к 17 годам за убийство начальника милиции

⭕️⭕️ Бывший сотрудник ОМОНа приговорен к 17 годам за убийство начальника милиции

Как стало известно RTVI, Фокинский райсуд Брянска вынес приговор по громкому делу об убийстве главы криминальной милиции местного РОВД Валерия Хохлова. Исполнитель преступления, бывший сотрудник ОМОНа и глава липецкого бойцовского клуба «Берсерк» Марк Постельник, приговорен к 17 годам колонии строгого режима.

Вторым обвиняемым, по данным RTVI, был бизнесмен Дмитрий Митин (Ларсон), бывший помощник депутата Госдумы от КПРФ Василия Шандыбина. Коммерсант, как настаивало обвинение, выступал организатором преступления, однако он сам был застрелен в 2003 году, поэтому его дело суд прекратил.

➡️ Убийство Хохлова произошло вечером 13 ноября 2001 года. Известного в городе 37-летнего подполковника застрелили около восьми часов вечера во дворе дома, где тот проживал. Убийца был вооружен пистолетом с глушителем и трижды в упор выстрелил офицеру в голову — подполковник скончал��я на месте.

Более двадцати лет громкое преступление оставалось нераскрытым, хотя хорошим знакомым убитого, по данным RTVI, был также выходец из Брянска, первый заместитель Главного управления уголовного розыска МВД России Александр Фролов. Но на след заказчика и исполнителя убийства следователи СКР вышли лишь два года назад, раскрывая деятельность саранской преступной группировки

[beardedmrbean]

The Russian defence ministry has been recruiting prisoners to fight in Ukraine, apparently taking over from the Wagner mercenary group which was the first to adopt the practice last year.

Such army units are commonly known as Storm-Z, the letter Z being one of the symbols of Vladimir Putin's so-called "special military operation" against Ukraine. It is also the first letter of the Russian word "zek", or "inmate".

The name Storm-Z is unofficial and can be applied to a range of Russian army units active in different parts of Ukraine.

Similarly to Wagner's prisoner units, Storm-Z detachments are reportedly often treated as an expendable force thrown into battle - with little consideration for the lives of their servicemen.

There are also indications that members of other army units can be sent to Storm-Z detachments as punishment for violations such as insubordination or drunkenness.

Wagner's role

Last year, Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin - known as "Putin's chef" - was allowed to recruit in prisons after tens of thousands of Russian troops were killed in Ukraine.

He personally visited numerous jails to promise convicted criminals that they would be able to go home free, and with their convictions removed, after six months of fighting for Wagner in Ukraine - if they survived.

The group, which employed experienced mercenaries as well as convicts, proved itself as a capable fighting force in locations such as the eastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmut.

But then Prigozhin very publicly escalated his criticism of Russia's top brass, accusing them of incompetence and of deliberately starving Wagner of ammunition. Two months after staging a short-lived mutiny, Prigozhin died in a plane crash in August 2023 together with Wagner's other top commanders.

The group has now all but disappeared from the battlefield in Ukraine.

Military takes over

Reports from Russia suggest that the defence ministry has taken over from Wagner as a recruiter of inmates for the war against Ukraine.

"It is the same scheme as with the [Wagner] private military company," said RTVI, a Russian news website. "Prisoners sign contracts with the defence ministry, and after completing them they can go home or continue serving."

One member of Storm-Z, a former prisoner interviewed by US-funded website Sever Realii, said defence ministry recruiters promised inmates lavish payments: a salary of 205,000 roubles (about $2,000 or £1,700) a month, a payment of 3m roubles ($31,000 or £26,000) per injury and 5m roubles ($52,000 or £43,000) to be paid to the recruit's relatives if he gets killed.

"It all sounded hunky-dory!" he said. But soon after being deployed to Ukraine the former prisoners realised they were being sent into a "total meat-grinder" without proper armaments or without even being told of the real situation on the front line, he said.

The man - whose real name Sever Realii did not give - lost a leg in battle, but he survived, unlike some of his fellow fighters from Storm-Z.

Even though the Russian military has not confirmed or denied recruiting convicts, there are numerous indications of them being sent to units known as Storm-Z.

For example, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russia-installed governor of the occupied city of Sevastopol in Crimea, on 17 October confirmed that one of the two Storm-Z members recently killed in fighting was an ex-prisoner who had "decided to atone for his guilt and signed a contract with the defence ministry in spring 2023".

Also in October, popular Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets interviewed another member of Storm-Z, a convicted murderer who uses the call sign Bandit. He had served six years of his 19-year prison sentence before joining the Russian military.

"It doesn't matter if you're a contract soldier, if you've been mobilised or if you are even a convict. No, we're like family," Bandit told the paper. "I just hope the defence ministry does what it promised and secures a pardon for me."

'They're just meat'

The defence ministry in Moscow first referred to "storm units" on 25 January this year, publishing a video of them training, but without going into the detail of who their members were. It is possible that the unit mentioned by the defence ministry is different from Storm-Z units which comprise convicts.

It said that the "storm units' job is to break through the most complicated layered parts of Ukrainian defences".

In practice, this appears to mean that they are often readily deployed without much consideration for their chances of survival.

"Storm fighters, they're just meat," one regular soldier who has fought alongside members of Storm-Z, told Reuters. In its investigation, the news agency also said that, in an echo of Stalin's penal military units, servicemen from other army detachments can get sent to Storm-Z as punishment for disobeying orders or drinking alcohol.

Independent Russian website Agentstvo quoted a Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine's Kherson region (whose identity the website says it has confirmed) as saying that regular servicemen were sent to Storm-Z as a form of punishment. The man shared with Agentstvo a video of three masked men who he said were members of his brigade, one of whom says:

"This means they're running out of people, and our commanders plug these holes by sending people to Storm-Z. We think this is unlawful and illegitimate. This has to stop."

One Russian Telegram account believed to be run by a military instructor involved in training Storm-Z units claimed that some of their members had been driven to desperation and attempted desertion after being mistreated by their commanders.

"People can simply go berserk because they're being treated like dispensable meat which deserves no sympathy. And this attitude is in reality not uncommon," the account calling itself the Grey Zone Philologist said.

But then, it claimed, Storm-Z servicemen are not the only members of the Russian army subjected to mistreatment by "unhinged man-eating commanders".

The UK ministry of defence says it is possible that Storm-Z units were originally envisioned as "relatively elite organisations".

In an intelligence update published on 24 October, it says they have now effectively become "penal battalions, manned with convicts and regular troops on disciplinary charges".

Законопроект о сталкинге не одобрили в правительстве

В декабре Ксения Горячева, Сардана Авксентьева и Владислав Даванков из партии «Новые люди» внесли в Госдуму законопроект «О противодействии навязчивому преследованию», вводящий административное наказание за сталкинг, возможность установления судебного запрета на приближение к жертвам, организацию государственных структур помощи пострадавшим. Мы сами выступаем за введение специального закона против преследований, однако депутатские инициативы, которые по нашим темам в последнее время носят пиаровский характер без практических результатов, вызывают разумные сомнения.

В конце февраля законопроект поддержала уполномоченная по правам человека в РФ Татьяна Москалькова. Вспоминая про круглый стол, организованный автор(к)ами инициативы, она сказала, что идея правильная и что концептуально её офис такой закон поддерживает.

Теперь RTVI сообщает, что правительственная комиссия по законодательной деятельности не поддержала законопроект против сталкинга. Там сказали, что для принятия нового типа наказания («запрет определённых действий, в том числе запрет приближаться к жертве») нужно вводить новый федеральный закон и оценивать практику его применения. Дело в том, что в статье 1 законопроекта от «Новых людей», вносящего поправки в Кодекс об административных правонарушениях, указана ссылка на федеральный закон «О противодействии навязчивому преследованию», но авторки/ы до сих пор не внесли его в Госдуму. То есть проект предлагает вид наказания, которого ещё нет в российской правовой системе. Также в комиссии упомянули, что административный арест в РФ применяется только в качестве основного вида наказания. Вывод правительства: «К рассмотрению предлагаемых законопроектом изменений целесообразно вернуться при условии внесения изменений в соответствующие регулятивные нормы».

Может быть, инициативу рано или поздно всё же одобрят и примут — мы будем рады. Пока есть смутное подозрение, что и правительство, и партия «Новые люди» как будто играют в какую-то игру: странно, когда в документе, вносящем поправки, есть ссылка на федеральный закон, который тоже нужно принять, но его при этом не внесли, хотя с декабря уже прошло много месяцев. Сардана Авксентьева публично написала, что первую версию законопроекта правительство не поддержало, но они работают над второй, усовершенствованной.

Dugin habla sobre Zelensky, Trump, Rusia y la revolución conservadora en EEUU

Por Anatoly Maltsev

Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera

El filósofo Alexander Dugin ofreció una rueda de prensa en la lujosa sala presidencial de RIA Novosti para presentar su nuevo libro La revolución de Donald Trump. El orden de las grandes potencias. El encuentro con el autor despertó un enorme interés entre los periodistas, en su mayoría extranjeros, y la sala estaba llena. El corresponsal de RTVI observó la presentación y la exposición sobre el triunfo del conservadurismo en el mundo.

Revolución en lugar de una alucinación

Alexander Dugin estaba muy animado. No es de extrañar, mientras que la mayoría de los rusos están viendo las «sacudidas» diarias de Donald Trump sobre los cimientos de los Estados Unidos, tratando de entender lo que está sucediendo y cómo amenaza a Rusia, Dugin ya ha escrito un libro sobre ello. En su portada Trump sostiene firmemente el globo terráqueo entre sus manos.

Sin demora, Alexander Geljevich proclamó la victoria de la revolución conservadora en Estados Unidos y sostiene que se expandirá por todo el mundo (tales planes, nos dijo el filósofo, son realizados por Elon Musk). Dugin lleva escribiendo sobre la revolución conservadora desde 1994 y uno puede entender por qué saluda los cambios en Estados Unidos con tanta alegría, es por eso que no ocultó su entusiasmo en la rueda de prensa.

Los globalistas, a los que Trump derrotó durante su primera elección presidencial, percibieron al nuevo presidente como un fallo del sistema, un cortocircuito, como algo que no debería haber ocurrido, dice Dugin y recuerda una absurda discusión con un influyente funcionario estadounidense, el exsecretario de Estado de EEUU Anthony Blinken:

«Yo estaba en Amsterdam durante esa época, participando en una polémica con el filósofo francés Bernard-Henri Levy. En este encuentro estaba Anthony Blinken, que me fue presentado como antiguo funcionario de la administración Obama. Discutió enérgicamente conmigo:

- Trump ha ganado, le dije.

- No lo hizo, respondió Blinken con seguridad.

- ¿Cómo que no? Es vuestro presidente. Objeté.

- No es nuestro presidente, dijo Blinken.

- Trump está al mando de la Casa Blanca, repliqué.

- No existe. Trump no existe. Es una alucinación de Putin. A los rusos les gustaría pensar que Trump ganó. Son las noticias falsas de Putin, me respondió Blinken.

Así que en el 2018 alguien me decía con toda seguiridad que Trump no existe.

El hecho de que Trump fuera capaz de asumir una vez más el poder, luego de que durante la presidencia de Joseph Biden tuvo que soportar una persecución penal y otros ataques hasta ganar de nuevo las elecciones presidenciales significa que no es un accidente, sino que se está produciendo un cambio conservador en todo el mundo, cree Dugin.

Dugin opina que «el primer mandato de Trump fue puro populismo, ensayo y error, pero en su segunda presidencia es una persona completamente diferente. Tiene una ideología, un sistema, una lógica, una coherencia. Ya no es un conjunto de llamados populistas dirigidos al aire. Y, lo más importante, ha formado un equipo».

El trumpismo, según Dugin, es la «antítesis» del globalismo liberal. El globalismo liberal intenta crear un mundo unipolar, mientras que el trumpismo está a favor de un mundo multipolar. El globalismo liberal tenía como premisa difundir una agenda universal de «valores progresistas», mientras que el trumpismo está a favor de los valores tradicionales.

«En lugar de la bandera LGBT*, la bandera In God We Trust. En lugar de 53 géneros, dos géneros, masculino y femenino. En lugar del lema de la diversidad, la inclusividad, el lema Cristo es el Rey, que ha sido equiparado por los liberales de izquierdas con un discurso de odio. Es decir, si alguien escribía Cristo es el Rey en sus redes sociales, es decir, Christ is the King, que es la norma aceptada por los cristianos ortodoxos, protestantes y católicos, entonces se era inmediatamente atacado por ello. Un par de ataques más y tú cuenta era eliminada. Así funcionaba la censura que Trump anuló», afirma Dugin.

Geopolíticamente, según Dugin, el trumpismo se centrará en la administración nacional, mientras que los predecesores de Trump trataron de crear estructuras supranacionales como la Unión Europea, el Tribunal Penal Internacional, etc.

Dugin está convencido de que hemos entrado en una época posliberal. Rusia ha pasado por eso antes que EEUU, pero ahora está dispuesta a cooperar en términos de respeto mutuo y con la condición de que EEUU considere que Rusia es una de las grandes potencias mundiales. Además de Rusia y los Estados, Dugin considera que India y China son potencias.

Los demócratas, Rusia y Ucrania

Los demócratas, cree Dugin, únicamente podrán vengarse y deshacer los logros de Trump por medio de una guerra civil, mientras que Rusia debe ser cuidadosa, ser diplomática y tratar de aprovechar la distención de las relaciones internacionales, junto con los problemas actuales y las muchas similitudes entre Trump y Putin para crear un mundo multipolar duradero.

- Alexander Guélievich, ¿por qué está usted convencido de que es una revolución lo que ha tenido lugar en Estados Unidos y no un intento de la misma? ¿Por qué estás seguro de que lo que está haciendo Trump se volverá la norma y no que el pueblo de los Estados Unidos lo vea como una tormenta temporal después de la cual los votantes entrarán en razón? Por ejemplo, los musulmanes que votaron masivamente por Trump, después de los sucesos de Gaza, no votaran por Trump en las próximas elecciones, que quizás pierda», le pregunté al filósofo en nombre de RTVI.

- Si quieren defender su revolución conservadora, entonces que la defiendan. Si toman una decisión diferente, son libres de hacerlo. Pero los adversarios de Trump en las próximas elecciones tendrán que llevar a cabo una revolución contra la revolución conservadora. ¡Imagínense lo que este equipo logrará en cuatro años cuando ya ha logrado tanto en cuestión de meses! Es decir, los demócratas tendrán que venir con una nueva ideología para luchar realmente contra la movilización ideológica de sus oponentes, algo que no ha ocurrido antes. Se trata de una tendencia significativa y, en mi opinión, sólo cambiará mediante una guerra civil. Los métodos que utilizaban para intentar aferrarse al poder ya no funcionan», respondió Dugin.

- Biden era comprensible para Rusia, pero Trump es impredecible, es alguien muy provocador y puede tomar medidas drásticas que Rusia no puede predecir. ¿No cree que es más peligroso para nuestro país? Hice la segunda pregunta.

- Trump es mucho más comprensible, cercano y entendible para nosotros, pero los riesgos de los que hablas también existen, porque Trump es un líder brillante y carismático, ya está hablando de un tercer mandato, de que habrá un nuevo Estado con 51 Estados y no descarto que no deje el cargo», dijo Dugin.

En cuanto a Ucrania, Dugin está seguro de que Trump aún no ha comprendido del todo qué tipo de país es.

«A Trump no le gusta Zelensky, piensa que es el engendro de líderes políticos que fueron sus predecesores y enemigos. Zelensky es quien le disparó. Esto también debe tomarse en cuenta. La conexión del tirador que le disparó a Trump con las AFU ya ha sido probada. Zelensky forma parte del sistema liberal hostil a Trump. Trump quiere acabar con Zelensky, pero no sabe cómo. Trump no es ni aliado de Rusia ni amigo de Rusia en la cuestión de Ucrania. Y lo más importante, hay que darse cuenta de que no nos traerá la victoria sobre Ucrania en bandeja de plata. Sin la victoria sobre Ucrania, Rusia no podrá derrotar al globalismo. Ese es el problema», dijo Dugin.

Little-known Russian company disappears after reporting trillions of rubles in profit

A new investigation from the Russian-language broadcaster RTVI examines a little-known Russian company called Banknota LLC that, according to financial reports, took in 3.7 trillion ($40.4 billion) rubles of revenue and made a net profit of 3.4 trillion ($37.1 billion) rubles last year — more than any other Russian company except Rosneft and Gazprom. Despite apparently earning the equivalent of 8.5 percent of Russia’s GDP after its creation in June 2023, Banknota has now “disappeared,” RTVI reports. The address the company was registered under now leads to a garden supply store in a shopping center on a Moscow highway, though a sign bearing the mysterious business’s name is still mounted above the entrance. An archived version of the firm’s now-deleted website says it offered home, auto, and business loans, though it did not have a banking license.

Russia’s Unified State Register of Legal Entities lists Banknota’s sole owner as Dmitry Frolov, a Moscow resident who the database notes has been “deemed unreliable by the Federal Tax Service.” Journalists from RTVI found that Frolov has multiple past convictions for petty theft, with his last sentence handed down in 2022. The following summer, five companies were registered in his name, including Banknota, though his brother believes he was in prison at the time. The journalists were unable to get in touch with Frolov, though they learned that in May of this year, he told tax authorities he was neither the founder nor the chairman of Banknota.

Banknota’s real owners and true revenue source remain a mystery; experts interviewed by RTVI said it’s impossible that the company earned trillions of rubles through lending alone. In December 2023, the firm informed the Russian tax authorities that it had a branch in Belarus, though no such branch appears in Belarusian business databases. If it does exist, according to experts, the company’s owners may have used it to transfer money abroad.

Another year. Another year avoiding FB. It feels like hiding 😶‍🌫️ It maybe 🤔 un-admitted shame of not doing enough but just venting.

If you are reading this, I choose to share with you.

But I didn’t. I choose to share with void. With someone who just simply stumbles accidentally because of tags 🏷️, or g-d knows what else .

Today I no longer can separate acceptance from giving up. But I don’t want to leave room for any misinterpretations on what “giving up” means here. It is damn hard to explain it on paper with clarity when you’re out of practice. And yes - I don’t want silent 🤫 judgement or words of encouragement. So I’m back here, in my safe place, on tumblr.

I always hold high hopes that for M to succeed just enough awareness and acceptance needs to be in place with a slight addition of support; far from what he is getting at school. That I can’t give up.

Self-talk anywhere and everywhere for no reason and to self-soothe

No attempts to make friends or to keep the ones who reach out

* Recording subway 🚇 tunnels

* Watching 2hr long videos of subway tunnels

* K-5 level cartoons

* RTVi along but resistance to learn Russian

* Talking pretend Russian to people who don’t speak 🗣️ a word of the language

* Visits to Times sq to record trailers available on YouTube for months

I used to try to redirect or mask 😷 (big negative word in ASD community that seems to me extremely self-indulgent, coming from people who don’t deal with complexities of being adult on a lower end of the spectrum). I tried to tap into whatever inappropriate and give it a spin that would bring it closer into fitting into what in foreseeable future will be societal norms.

I accepted defeat and just let it be. Sometimes it backfires badly in public and otherwise; most of the times it’s ignored if noticed. Of course, I can’t ignore it. Sheer for the fact for needing to be alert 🚨 enough to step in when it hints danger ⚠️ levels or awkwardness overload. Like with the rest of this quirky and unpredictable life, the unpleasant reality became mundane and normal. Well… MY normal. I can’t ask anyone to subscribe to it because once in blue moon 🌖, I get a day of respite into the actual normalcy and it still hurts to return into the ASD routine. Not like a bleeding 🩸 hurt more like a paper 📄 scratch that takes annoyingly few days to heal.

I almost gave up on

* not having a conversation that hasn’t been played out gazillion times already

* having hard time between picking favorite, even when it is obvious (like picking cake 🍰 over sandwich 🥪)

* Mistaken pronouns (I am not MY mom but YOURS) and preposition (the cup NOT at the table; it is ON the table)

* And general silliness of your sentence structure and thought 💭 expression

* …

I started this post yesterday after a long day of brewing thoughts 💭 of what and where to write ✍️. It’s 5:30 am and M already woken up ⬆️ like he always does regardless whether it’s a school day or a weekend. I should’ve done soooo many things yesterday but I chose to write until I crashed into sleep 😴

it’s April 2. I write every year on Apr 2. It is silly as I don’t quite believe in traditions. But in a similar vein as I can’t forgo Christmas tree🎄for New Year, I can’t skip ⏭️ and not post today. On the eve of Apr 2 I’m reflecting more than any other day. Again I’m reflecting on acceptance: personal and general. Nobody forces me to write. And yet I hold some slight hope that this is something that someone needs / needed to read. Exactly as I wrote TODAY (which for all I know might not be even the day or month or year). I read so many encouraging posts and they helped. I read so many despot cries and they help. This one is neither. But, if you read thru the end and now feel a feather 🪶-bit lighter, I’m glad for both of us. Hugs 🫂

P.S. dedicated to the lack of regular emojis bank 🏦 -lol… I used to ace social stories with pictures. I thought 💭 that in 14 years the options for OOTB emojis would expand a lot, given the number of spectrum folks and their supporters in the industry. Oh well… here is to another ten 🔟 years 🥂

🔵🟦 🌀 🗣️ 🖌️ for Ⓜ️ 🩵🌐💙

(In all seriousness, social stories what helped a lot us with transition and training for public events. Do that. It’ll be the easiest thing today you’ve done ✅ to help yourself and your kid. )

A Russian chess player is under investigation for allegedly attempting to poison another player ahead of a match last week.

Security video shows the chess player Amina Abakarova smearing what is alleged to be mercury on a chess board later used by rival Umaiganat Osmanova.

Osmanova said she began feeling unwell soon later, complaining of nausea and dizziness, and security camera footage of the incident launched a police investigation into Abakarova, an article from Chess.com said.

Attempted poisoning happened during tournament

The incident occurred during a tournament in Russia's Dagestan region on Friday, according to a statement posted to Telegram by Republic of Dagestan sports minister Sazhid Sazhidov. No one else was harmed in the incident, and the tournament is scheduled to be completed Thursday, according to Sazhidov.

"The motives of such an experienced competitor as Amina Abakarova are incomprehensible," Sazhidov said. "The actions she took could have led to a most tragic outcome, threatening the lives of everyone who was present, including herself. Now she must answer for what she did by the law."

The statement was linked to a post by Baza, a Telegram news channel, and included a security video.

Poisoned player shares her experience

"I still feel bad. In the first minutes, I felt a lack of air and a taste of iron in my mouth. I had to spend about five hours on this board. I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t seen it earlier," Osmanova told Russia Today.

She told the Russian newspaper Izvestia that she saw "some tiny balls" rolling out under her board, and had no idea what it was until she realized it could have been mercury, NBC News reported. That was when she alerted the organizers.

Abakarova has reportedly said she wanted to "knock her opponent out of the tournament," Russian media RTVI reported. A police report quoted by Russian media said Abakarova's plan was to scare Osmanova, not harm her.

Abakarova has now been detained by police and is facing up to three years in jail, according to The Mirror.  Andrey Filatov, the President of the Russian Chess Federation, has also confirmed that Abakarova is temporarily suspended from Russian chess events, pending an investigation into the incident. She is potentially facing a lifetime ban. 

What is mercury poisoning?

Mercury is a naturally occurring element and is a silver liquid at room temperature. It is used in several products, including in manufacturing electronics, and can be found in fish.

Mercury is dangerous for humans to breathe and consume. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, all forms of mercury can affect the nervous system and kidneys.

If inhaled, mercury can cause permanent lung damage and brain damage, according to the Cleveland Clinic, and large amounts of mercury or long-term exposure can lead to death if not treated.

Исследование: у женщин, находящихся в космосе, сохраняется овуляция и не нарушается цикл

Российская космонавтка Анна Кикина совместно с учёными на Земле поучаствовала в интересной исследовательской работе. Ранее такую идею предлагали космонавткам из Беларуси, но они отказались. В научной среде существовало мнение, будто у женщин, полетевших в космос, нарушается цикл и нет овуляции, — теперь удалось узнать наверняка. Это важно и ввиду того, что женщин, летающих в космос, становится всё больше, и с учётом перспектив дальних полётов, и в контексте развития репродуктивных технологий.

5 октября 2022 года Кикина отправилась на Международную космическую станцию на корабле Crew Dragon в составе миссии Crew-5. Космонавтка (на фото) провела на МКС 157 суток. За её организмом начали вести наблюдение за год до полёта и продолжили во время и после. Анна проходила через тесты на овуляцию, измерение уровня гормонов в крови, МРТ-тесты для оценки состояния органов малого таза и измерения числа фолликулов.

Результатами исследования Кикина поделилась на Королёвских чтениях по космонавтике в МГТУ им. Баумана, выступив с докладом «Влияние космического полёта на динамику созревания антральных фолликулов». Результаты также опубликовали в журнале Microgravity. Докториня физико-математических наук Ирина Огнева эксклюзивно поделилась полученной информацией с изданием RTVI.

Длительность цикла в космосе не изменилась, по крайней мере за 157 суток. Как во время полёта, так и после него она составляла примерно 29-30 дней. Параметры органов малого таза после полёта были такими же, как и до него.

Однако число фолликулов, рекрутированных к росту, во время полёта становится меньше. Это обнаружили по количеству активно растущих фолликулов в ранний послеполётный период. Анна полагает, что это следствие влияния ионизирующего излучения, радиации.

Также выяснилось, что фолликулы, рекрутированные до полёта и выросшие уже в условиях невесомости, стали больше по размеру. Учёные связывают это с увеличением клеток гранулёзы (фолликулярный слой клеток, окружающий яйцеклетку). Чем больше клеток гранулёзы, тем лучше для ооцитов (женских гамет). Это открытие поможет в репродуктивных исследованиях.

Огнева сказала, что в краткосрочной перспективе невесомость влияет в данном контексте скорее положительно. Тем не менее в долгосрочной перспективе, видимо, снижается число фолликулов и они начинают быстрее рекрутироваться — это уже негативный фактор.
