Ok now gonna tell you about that one IO rusreal/oddly-specific-university au version where everyone are humans

So, all of them are living in Voronezh and are state university students. There were a group of friend from different… faculties? Idk how to translate it. So, there were 5 friends, and then, on the 3rd grade, the new people just appeared in the university. As was known later, they came from another cities (two from Nalchik, two from Yelets). So, they somehow were accepted to a friend group. This is a slice of life AU, so it's mostly about them studying and their holiday adventures. But after they finished university, girls from Nalchik got back to their hometown. Anyway, they come to Voronezh every summer… And sometimes vice versa - others come to Nalchik.

So, characters:

Rada (Joy) is a happy and ambitious girl from faculity of journalism. She loves talking in idiomes/phraseologisms, and always takes her friends on an adventure. She's half Russian, half Armenian by blood, but Armenian isn't her native language (she learns it though!)

Pelageya (Sadness) is Rada's best friend since school days. They are very close despite being different. In the 1st grade they were arguing a lot, but that's in the past. Pelageya likes to read, and she's on the faculty of philology. She's Greek by blood, but never was in Greece since her grandparents moved to Russia long ago.

Bogdana (Disgust) is some sort of class fashionista. She can be a bit mean, but she is a good friend and has a huge interest in history. So yeah, she's from historical faculity. She met everyone else already in university, and it was a bit hard to befriend her, but when all of them got closer she opened her gentle and happy side. By blood she's half Ukrainian, half Polish, and knows both of these languages despite being born in Russia (her parents taught her).

Sasha (Fear) is just a funny and overall nice boy from faculity of geology. He's a bit shy and sometimes paranoid, but can be braver when he needs to protect someone. He likes to play chess, and is one of the smartest people in the group, being one of the "local nerds". He also has a pet lizard named Lily. nobody knows what's his nationality - probably mixed.

Gosha (Anger) is an intense, tempered and passionate boy from faculity of law, who loves to play sports and hang out with his friends. He's loud and sometimes mean to others (esp to Sasha), but it's not intended, and he apologizes for it… Sometimes. He is mixed by blood, but has some Greek and maybe Tajik roots.

Tanya (Anxiety) is a girl who came from Yelets. She is a nervous, but ambitious person from faculity of physics. Sometimes she can be wrong in something, but always wants the best for everyone. She's actually a cute one, even though she makes some mistakes. She's Tatar by blood, but was born in Yelets.

Haniffa (Ennui) is some kind of "sad teenage girl" from faculity of computer science, but she's pretty nice in her heart. She's from Nalchik, and lives with her friend Zara. She often introduces herself as Sonia, because most people can't pronounce her name correctly. Haniffa isn't interested in most things, but she likes cooking, her favourite thing to do is Ossetian pies. She actually is Ossetian by blood, even though she was born in Kabardino-Balkaria.

Zara (Envy) is small in body, but she has a big heart and studies on the faculity of international relations. She's actually two years older than Haniffa (they live together and call each other sisters, even though they aren't blood connected), and she sometimes makes jokes about it. Zara can be a bit mean from time to time, but she is a lovely girl actually! She likes to bake things with her "sister", scrapbooking and going on walks (sometimes with her cat named Fatima). She's Kabardinian by blood.

Stas (Embarrassment) is literally the nicest boy in the whole group, coming from the faculity of farmacy. He came from Yelets with Tanya, and was very shy about it, but everyone liked him, because he always was acting friendly and helped everyone. He is strong and tall, but was bullied in school for his appearance and the fact that he loves pink and cute things (everyone thought he's "too gily"). Tanya was trying to protect him, but she's a weak one too. But now he has a lot of friends, so… He will be alright. He's half Chechen, half Balcar btw!

Yelets Icon of the Mother of God

Commemorated on January 11

The only thing we known about this Icon is that it was located in the city of Yelts, Orlov Gubernia. In addition, the annals record the year of its appearance - 1060, which is the same as that of the Yelets-Chernigov Icon (February 5). Researchers believe that the Yelets Icon is a late copy of the Yelets-Chernigov Icon. In addition to the belt image of the Mother of God, there is another kind of Yelets Icon which depicts the appearance of the Queen of Heaven to Tamerlane in 1395 in the city of Yelets, before his march on Moscow.

The Holy Virgin appeared with a multitude of Saints, in a threatening vision to Tamerlane as he was resting in his tent on Mount Argamach. On the same day (August 26) the residents of Moscow met the wonderworking Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, praying before it for deliverance from the terrible invasion. Terrified by the vision, Tamerlane exclaimed, "So, we shall not defeat the land of Russia!" and then he retreated with his horde.

The Yelets Icon is commemorated on January 11, and also on August 26, in remembrance of Tamerlane's retreat. The Elets-Chernigov (or Chernigov Spruce Tree) Icon of the Mother of God is commemorated On February 5.

Today the ancient city of Yelets rejoices with exultation, remembering the glorious miracle of the Most Holy Theotokos, when on the streets of the capital city of Moscow the people met her wonderworking Icon, then the Sovereign Lady, on Mount Argamach in the city of Yelets, came out to meet the wicked Tamerlane, turning back his formidable offensive. Contemplating the wondrous appearance of the newly-painted Icon, and thanking our Protectress for all her blessings, we humbly cry: “Do not forsake us in the future, O Merciful Mother.”

🇺🇦🇷🇺 🚨 UKRANIAN AUTHORITIES TO CLOSE THE "ANCIENT CHERNIGOV" ORTHODOX CHURCH AFTER TRANSFER TO STATE OWNERSHIP

The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) announced the closure of the "Ancient Chernigov" Church located in Chernikov city in the northeast of Ukraine Wednesday.

According to the UOC, the ancient churches of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve, the "Ancient Chernigov" church is to be closed after transfer to State-ownership, and only churches that are part of the "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" (OCU), an entity invented by Ukrainian authorities in response to Russia's Special Military Operation launched in February 2022, are to remain accessible.

Just one day earlier, on Tuesday November 14th, a commission as part of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine completed the work of transferring to state-ownership the objects of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernigov", including the churches and cathedrals used by the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), as reported by the department.

According to the report, the UOC states that some monuments are in "unsatisfactory condition" and recommended the agency carry out restoration and conservation work.

According to the website for the UOC, “From the very beginning of the commission’s review, the churches of the UOC were closed to the public, access to them was blocked by people in camouflage uniforms. As for the published conclusions about the state of architectural monuments, for believers in the Chernihiv region they will mean that the Trinity, Spassky and Assumption churches, along with the relics Saints Theodosius and Philaret and Saint Lawrence of Chernigov will be taken away from the UOC and closed to visitors. Churches of the OCU remain freely accessible."

The Ukrainian authorities, over the last year, have launched successive waves of persecution against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for its supposed connections with Russia. This comes at a time when simply praising something considered Russian can lead to suspicions, oppression and even imprisonment as Russia's Special Military Operation closes in on the end of its second year.

Local authorities in various regions of Ukraine have banned the activities of the UOC, while the Ukrainian Parliament passed in its first reading, a bill to ban the UOC and its activities throughout the country.

In some cases, sanctions have been imposed on certain representatives of UOC Clergy; while the Ukrainian Intelligence Services (SBU) has opened investigations into members of the clergy, conducting "counterintelligence activities" against clergy members, including conducting searches of churches and monasteries, as well as Bishops and priests.

According to the report, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture examined 18 objects, including the building complexes of the Yelets and Trinity monasteries, the Transfiguration Cathedral, Pyatnitskaya and the Catherine churches.
