WITH LOVE TO THE NATURE ENERGY OF THE SUN SOLAR COLLECTORS ENERGY OF THE AIR AIR/WATER HEAT PUMPS ENERGY OF THE EARTH GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS ENERGY-SAVING EQUIPMENT IN FIRST PERSON Editor’s note For each of us the preservation of nature begins from ourselves. Do you love nature? Such not an idle question has far-reaching consequences. As far-reaching as the future of mankind can be seen. And we, now living, with the answer to this question and especially with the actions that confirm our answer, are founding the future. You may ask why a production company wonders of nature and ecology? The question is put as the contribution of each person can affect the outcome of the operation. The operation for the conservation of nature and ultimately — the preservation of humanity. It is very difficult to carry out any management at the intersection of economics and ecology. Ecological production is always a question of priorities. The relationship between caring for nature and production development — a dilemma that requires a permanent solution. So, here the actions of the head manager towards the environment and energy efficiency are particularly important. Even if it is more expensive in the beginning, in the end the choice in favor of nature and mankind will pay back many times over. Let me cite gorgeous lines by Igor Guberman about the nature’s fairness: Justice in the human mess Observes the nature herself. Being hard-headed oneself Means often a lack of intelligence. For each of us the preservation of nature begins with ourselves and with our own home. For everybody energy savings are available in energy-saving lamps, in the use of motion sensors, intelligent heating devices, taking into account the user’s priority and reacting to temperature changes, in water savings and all kinds of heat. This that can and should be done every day. It would seem that the savings for each individual person or small house are insignificant, but it is only at the first glance. All across the country that will help to save huge amounts of energy! Moreover, by saving energy, you are contributing to the fight against global warming. Let the reading of this issue give you some idea of what else you can save for yourself and for Mother Nature’s benefit!

The rst prototype has already been installed on a solar power plant in one of the city’s districts. At the core of construction – wind wheel with diameter of half a meter, which starts spinning even with the breeze and does not produce any noise during rotation. It will withstand any wind force - even a hurricane. At the wind speed of seven meters per Mobile operator Velcom in Belarus second Sevastopol «windmill» is capable launches the largest solar power plant of producing about 3 kW/h and the battery in the country. A new project is being accumulates about 50 kW per day.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №114 September 2017 Emperor Nicholas I. Watercolour by Alexander I. Klünder Monument to Emperor Nicholas I unveiled in Czech Republic September 19.TASS - A monument to Emperor Nicholas I (1825-1855) was opened in the spa town of Teplice in the north of the Czech Republic. This was announced by Consul-General of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary (West Bohemia) Igor Melnik. "The monument to Nicholas I was erected in the very centre of Teplice next to the monuments of Peter the Great and Alexander I," he stressed. "This idea supported by local authorities, was conceived long ago, but was postponed, primarily because of the lack of necessary funds." Monuments to Russian autocrats in Teplice were created by People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Surovtsev. The patrons of the project are the organization of Russian compatriots in the Czech Republic "The Ark-Arch" and the General Consulate of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary. Sovereigns from the Romanov dynasty, actively implementing the idea of uniting the Slavs under the sceptre of mighty Russia on the international arena, have forever entered the history of Teplice. The Grand Duke and the future Emperor of Russia Nicholas I twice visited this city: in 1815 at the age of 19, and in 1818, when he turned 22. He took part in laying the foundation and then opening a monument to Russian soldiers who died for Europe's freedom in the struggle against Napoleon. The elder brother of Nicholas I, Emperor Alexander I, arrived in Teplice during the foreign campaigns of the Russian Imperial Army during the Napoleonic wars in 1813.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №89 August 2015 A procession in memory of Tsarevich Alexei was made for the twelfth time A two-day procession in honor of the birth of the last heir to the Russian throne - St. Tsarevich Alexei, was made for the twelfth time on August 11-12 from Tsarskoye Selo to Peterhof. The tradition of the procession was born in 2004 - says the coordinator of the procession Vladimir Znahur - The icon painter Igor Kalugin gave the church an icon of St. Tsarevich. We decided that this icon should visit the Lower dacha, where the Tsarevich was born. We learned that in "Peterhof" in 1994 was a festival dedicated to the last heir to the imperial throne. We decided to go in procession from the place where they lived in the winter - from Tsarskoye Selo. Procession begins with Divine Liturgy at the Tsar's Feodorovsky Cathedral and then prayer at the beginning of the procession. The cross procession makes stops at churches and other significant sites. We called the route of our procession "From Sadness to Joy." They lived in the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, loved it, there was born the Grand Duchess Olga. But this palace became a prison for the last of the Romanovs, where they then went on their way of the cross. It was in this palace the Tsarevich celebrated his last birthday", - says Vladimir. The next morning, after the Liturgy, we go to the birthplace of the Tsarevich - "Peterhof". Part of the procession was led by the clergy of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Peterhof, Archpriest Mikhail Teryushov and Vladimir Chornobay.

  • Environmental Issues Raised During Moscow Electoral Campaigns (2013 – 2019)
    E3S Web of Conferences 135, 04034 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/201913504034 ITESE-2019 Environmental issues raised during Moscow electoral campaigns (2013 – 2019) Igor Andreev1,* 1 National research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Yaroslavskoye sh. 26, Moscow, 129337, Russia Abstract. The report analyzes the positions of the main political parties of Russia on the content, causes and ways to overcome the environmental problems of the capital region. During the discussions preceding the elections of Moscow authorities in 2013-2019, political parties and their candidates pointed to such acute environmental problems as air pollution, lack of adequate technologies for processing household waste, degradation of water bodies, reduction of green space. The author draws attention to the difference in the methods of coverage of environmental issues by Pro- government and opposition candidates. Pro-governmental candidates sought to draw the attention of the citizens to the obvious positive results of their previous activities and plans for future. However, these seemingly trivial approaches were based on a very detailed long-term urban strategy of the New environmental policy adopted by the government of Moscow in 2014 and designed for the period up to 2030. Opposition candidates emphasized the extreme severity of environmental problems, harshly criticized the environmental policy of the city administration, tried to identify social and class groups that impede the implementation of effective environmental measures. As a result, the positive proposals of the opposition were more «multidimensional», including several measures to rationalize and democratize the decision-making process in the environmental sphere and to undermine the capacity of social agents who prevented overcoming the environmental crisis in the capital.

  • Political Rhetoric and the Challenges to Diversity in Russia
    POLITICAL RHETORIC AND THE CHALLENGES TO DIVERSITY IN RUSSIA Viktoria Martovskaya ECMI WORKING PAPER #89 November 2015 ECMI- Working Paper # 89 The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) is a non-partisan institution founded in 1996 by the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German State of Schleswig-Holstein. ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of interethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethno-political tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Working Papers are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned. ECMI Working Paper # 89 European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) Director: Dr. Tove H. Malloy © ECMI 2015 2 | P a g e ECMI- Working Paper # 89 POLITICAL RHETORIC AND THE CHALLENGES TO DIVERSITY IN RUSSIA The author of this publication argues that negative societal trends - namely, raising the levels of inter-ethnic tensions, intolerance to diversity and hostility to the ‘others’ – can be predicted through the analysis of political rhetoric. The method of reconstruction of society through the analysis of rhetoric can serve as an early -warning system detecting the approach of an ethnic crisis.
