The texts of the day

We tell the story of Vera Chaplin - a writer who kept wild animals in a communal apartment and who then forgot

Chaplin became famous in the mid-1930s. Then she worked in the Moscow Zoo and took her home a little lioness to her nickname to save her home to save from starvation. And then she began to write books about animals. From childhood, Chaplin picked up and nursed a variety of animals, and in the zoo itself created a “young animal site”, where cubs, puppies of Dingo’s dog, piglets, lion and kids played together. Later, this idea was called harmful, and the name of Chaplin itself began to be exhausted from the official history of the zoo. The special corner of the Medusa Christina Safonova tells the story of Vera Chaplin , her oblivion, as well as about the people who today restore the memory of her.

Why does Elon Musk continue to build Starship super -heavy missiles if they explode all the time?

In early March, he burned out - however, after landing - the next prototype of the Starship missile, designed for manned flights to the moon, and then on Mars. But Ilon Musk does not give up and intends to continue the tests - like its competitors from the USA and China. After several decades, when superheavy missiles were not developed, because there were no suitable tasks for them, they are again in demand: a new lunar race began. We explain who leads in it and why Starship explosions cannot be called a failure .

Coronavirus

The European Union came up with how the "vaccination passport" will look and work

The certificate will be issued free of charge, the information in it should be given both in the official language of the country, and in English. The document will indicate the date and place of vaccination and the type of vaccine. With the help of this passport, vaccinated people will be able to travel to the EU countries without restrictions. Citizens of countries that are not EU members will be able to request a certificate from the country in which they go. To do this, you need to provide "reliable evidence" of vaccination (which is not explained). Whether or not, those who were vaccinated with a “companion V” depend on a particular country .

Other news about coronavirus:

• A joint study of the European University and several clinics and laboratories showed that half of the inhabitants of St. Petersburg have antibodies .
• WHO recommended to continue vaccination with ASTRAZENECA. It was suspended by the largest EU states.
• Moderna began to experience her vaccine on children aged six months to 12 years.
• In Russia, for the first time from October 1, less than nine thousand infected were revealed per day.

Podkast "What happened"

What happens in the colony, where Navalny is sitting?

The Pokrovskaya colony is considered “red” - that is, all the orders in it are controlled by the administration, and not the prisoners themselves. The politician himself compared the conditions of detention with anti-utopia-due to meticulous strict following routine. And also-called the "friendly concentration camp" due to the ban on the mat. The guest of today's issue is Ksenia Runova from the Institute of Law Problems. She talks about the colony in Pokrov and her differences from other zones.
