2. The ambassador of Russia was called to the Poland Foreign Ministry due to the phrase of Zhirinovsky
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radoslav Sikorsky, called the ambassador of Russia to Warsaw Alexander Alekseev because of the statements of the leader of the LDPR Vladimir Zhirinovsky. As explained in the Polish foreign policy, the reason for the invitation of the Russian ambassador was an interview with the leader of the LDPR given by Russia 24. In it, Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that as a result of the conflict of Russia and the West on the Ukrainian issue, Poland and the Baltic countries will be “destroyed”. The Polish Foreign Ministry emphasized that they seriously perceive the words of Zhirinovsky, which was the reason for the invitation of Russia's ambassador to give explanations about this.
Alexander AlekseevEditor commentary: I must admit that warlike rhetoric has always been the "skate" of Vladimir Volfovich. In 2001, in his book “The Last Throw to the South”, he noted the need for the military presence of our country in the Indian Ocean. At the same time, he slightly paraphrased the proposal belonging to the author of the preface to the book by Professor V. Aleksandrov, writing easier: “I dream that Russian soldiers wash their legs with the warm water of the Indian Ocean. So that there are recreation centers, camps for youth, sanatoriums, dispensary. ” In April of this year, the LDPR leader came to a meeting of the State Duma in the form of a colonel of the Russian Armed Forces. He explained that he did this against the background of how fighting unfolds in the east of Ukraine, and European and American officials are discussing plans for the redistribution of Europe.
3. In the south of Moscow, they discovered a bag with a woman's head
The terrible find was nailed to the shore in the area of the former ZIL plant. There she was discovered by a guard of one of the commercial organizations.

Meanwhile, this is not the first similar case. Last week, a woman who died under the screws of the Rocket ship was found in the Moscow channel.

The trick of the day
The laureate of the Field Prize for the first time became a woman
The 37-year-old scientist of Iranian descent Mariam Mirzahani became the laureate of the Field Prize-the most prestigious scientific award in the field of mathematics. The name of the winner was declared at the XXVII International Congress of Mathematics, which began work on August 13 in Seoul. The organizing committee noted "the scientist’s outstanding contribution to the dynamics and geometry of the Riemann surfaces and the theory of the spaces of their modules." Fields Prize is awarded once every four years to outstanding scientists no older than forty. This prize is awarded to a woman-mathematics for the first time in history. Mariam Mirzahani works at the Clay Mathematical Institute (Cambridge, Massachusetts) and holds the position of professor at Princeton University.
Mariam MirzahaniEditor commentary: Mariam Mirzahani Fields Prize is given the special significance of the awarding the fact that women-mathematicians have never honored her “equivalent”-the Abel Prize. In general, Fields and Abel Prize are a kind of “Nobel” in the field of mathematics. They say that Alfred Nobel excluded mathematics from applicants for his prize, guided by personal reasons. His lover allegedly changed him with the famous Swedish mathematician Magnus Gustav Mittag-Lefler. If Nobel made a recognition of mathematics, its first award would most likely get an opponent who has reached the heights in analytical functions, probabilities and differential equations.
