Sputnik 2 , launched into Earth orbit on November 3, 1957, launched a living creature into space for the first time - the dog Laika. Return was not planned; the dog died from overheating. This flight was important for science, but even the employees who participated in Laika’s preparation took her death hard. “The world’s shaggiest, loneliest, most miserable dog,” The New York Times wrote that November.

National Unity Day (4) will be celebrated in Ufa with a costume parade of the peoples of the republic, in Ryazan with mass exercise, and in Simferopol with a bicycle race. An air show is expected in Samara, a festive procession in Ulyanovsk, a religious procession in Orel, and a concert of children's creative groups "We are Russia" in Ulan-Ude. In Moscow on this day they plan to lay a monument to Prince Vladimir.

Russian Military Glory Day is the day of the military parade on Red Square on November 7, 1941. The front line then ran several tens of kilometers from the city, and many units from Red Square immediately went to the front. Historians believe that the parade, which showed the whole world that Moscow is not giving up, is equivalent to a major military operation in terms of its influence on the course of events.

Wilhelm Roentgen discovered “X-rays” exactly 120 years ago, on November 8, 1895. The physicist did not consider his discovery a source of income and did not patent it. But it was thanks to him that new areas of science and technology emerged - radiology, x-ray diagnostics, x-ray measurements, x-ray diffraction analysis. And one of the first monuments to Wilhelm Roentgen was erected in 1920 in Petrograd.

Fog on Kazanskaya (4) means there will be thawing. If it rains on this day, then after the rain winter will come: “It rains on Kazanskaya in the morning, and in the evening the snow lies in drifts.” A clear day on Kazanskaya means it will get colder. If Dimitri's day (8) is with snow, then Easter will be with snow. The crimson dawn on Dmitry - to the winds. If it stays warm on Dmitry all day, expect a harsh, frosty, blizzard winter.
