The Company implemented a set of anti-crisis measures that ensured its continued financial resilience and support for the personnel. A focus on digitaliza- tion enabled a prompt transition of many business processes to online. Despite the fall in demand for diamonds and jewelry during the pandemic, ALROSA was able to not just maintain, but also reinforce its positions. This is borne out by the fact that the Company retained investment-grade ratings from three inter- national agencies, and the bond offering in the middle of 2020 went down in history as the most successful in the sector in the past five years. ALROSA’s own online jewelry store, where consumers can purchase diamonds and jewelry with a Company-guaranteed provenance, opened its virtual doors in 2020. This was another important step on the road to improving the transparency of the supply chain. I would like to highlight the Company’s active efforts to inte- grate ESG principles into its operations. During the reporting year, we created a Working Group on Sustainability, and at the start of 2021 the Supervisory Board made the decision to add sustainability to the remit of the committee responsible for strategic planning. All of these served as appropriate and time- 2020 proved ALROSA’s ability to maintain efficient ly measures to improve the governance system and to address operations in the face of major challenges.

On behalf of the Supervisory Board, I would like to thank the management and all employees of ALROSA for contributing to the Group’s development and for their professionalism.

(2) On 23 December 2019, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, announced the opening of a railway bridge over the Kerch Strait, which marked the implementation of the broader project of connecting the railway infrastructures of the illegally annexed Crimean Peninsula and those of Russia.

The monograph "Xenophobia, Radicalism and, Hate Crimes in the OSCE Area, 2018-20", prepared by the Moscow Economic Institute with the assistance of the European Center for the Development of Democracy, is a study by leading experts from around the world, based on monitoring and comparative analysis of anti- extremist legislation, law enforcement practice, the level of public tolerance, statistics of hate crimes committed, and activities of radical and extremist organizations from 2018 to 2020 in a number of countries around the world. The geographic scope of the study is designated as the "OSCE area", although we are talking about 10 European countries and 2 North countries including America. Of course, such a set of monitoring countries does not cover all the states that are members of this international organization, however, it allows us to trace general trends in lawmaking, law enforcement practice and other spheres of government and public life that affect the situation with extremism.

This study investigated the new herbal food additive, Phlojodicarpus sibiricus roots and herb, ubiquitously used in Siberia as a spice. Chromatographic techniques such as HPLC‐DAD‐ESI‐QQQ‐MS/MS and microcolumn HPLC‐UV were the basic instruments for component profiling and quantification, and antiobesity potential was investigated using a differentiated 3T3‐L1 adipocytes assay. We found that the roots and herb of P. sibiricus were high‐coumarin‐containing additives inhibiting triacylglycerol accumulation in 3T3‐L1 preadipocytes. Forty‐one phenolics were detected in P.
