Fazil Iskander We will appreciate the opportunities! – 25 years is that almost ideal age when there are still many opportunities, but you already appreciate them. This is the age for the transition from youthful love to serious and adult love, from poetry to prose, from unsteadiness to consistency. I remember this age well, too well. I wish you one thing - not to completely fall out of childhood: sooner or later everyone will have to fall back into it.

Akhmirova Rimma Two explosions in one day - in Pyatigorsk and Vladikavkaz - terrorists, like Stakhanovites, set records Nalbandyan Liana Another triumph of our medicine - due to red tape in medical institutions, the patient herself cut out a breast tumor Simonov Artyom Recently I watched another episode of the TV movie "The Godfather" about Lukashenko

Vyacheslav Fetisov So that luck does not turn away! Congratulations to everyone's favorite newspaper on its anniversary! Remain the best conversationalist for your readers. I wish you all good luck and victories! The last two words are not just a tribute to the tradition of congratulations. Athletes, probably more than anyone else, know their value. And they know that sometimes you can do everything to win, but... luck will turn away, and - an insulting defeat to the point of tears.

The other day, information appeared in the Moscow press that the VID television company was on the verge of collapse. And for the same reason, television patriarch Leonid Yakubovich, presenter of “Field of Miracles,” remains unemployed. Journalists did not consider the news an April Fool's joke, since information appeared in the media a few days earlier. We decided to clarify how exaggerated these rumors are and turned to Channel One for comments.

The crisis is forcing Russians to save on electricity. “Interlocutor” decided to figure out how not to get burned by buying into “energy-saving” advertising, and how you can really gain extra kilowatts. Sorry, Ilyich! Last week, the European Commission approved a plan to withdraw conventional incandescent lamps from sale.

Yuri Stepanov Don't give in to the public! – 25 years – nothing, that’s a long time! I don't know what a newspaper is for me. And newspapers in general. I don't read newspapers. But it seems to me that this is news. This is knowledge. This is not cheating. Which means it’s true. How appropriate it is is the context, the specific situation, but I would like to wish journalists not to succumb to the public, as good actors and good directors succumb to it.

Jokes The mother caught her son with a cigarette and scolded him: “If you smoke, you won’t live to see old age!” – Grandfather over there smokes, and he is already 60 years old. – And if I didn’t smoke, it would be 80! - Petrov, you would make an excellent criminal. - Chief, what are you talking about? “You’ve been working for me for ten years, Petrov, and no traces of your activity are visible.” – Do you know what real bad luck is? - What?

Maxim Shevchenko You are preventing stagnation. You are inconvenient. – How do I feel about “Interlocutor”? Your call found me on the slope of Elbrus, at a sharp turn. And this is not a coincidence: when I read the best materials from Sobesednik, this is exactly how I feel. For the newspaper and society, stagnation is the most hostile: let’s say, both Nicholas I and Arakcheev were very decent people, but it was very difficult to live and develop under them. So: you interfere with stagnation.

Fedor Bondarchuk We have an independent press. I heartily congratulate Sobesednik on this important date! Thank you for your professionalism, quality materials and talented journalists. Special words of gratitude to Dmitry Bykov, the person who was not afraid to support me at a time when many spoke impartially about my then-unreleased project “Inhabited Island”. This turned out to be possible only thanks to the existence of an independent press - such as Sobesednik!

Leonid Yarmolnik Diversity is always better than gray monotony - “Interlocutor” definitely has its originality. Probably, the dissimilarity annoys someone. There is no need to be afraid of this. Unfortunately, often people cannot reach an agreement precisely because they are not ready to understand and accept the position of the other.

Alexander Peskov, parodist: Protect your son from well-wishers – Dear Tatyana, your situation, unfortunately, is common. It’s great that you found a person who became a good father for your child. Believe me, not everyone is so lucky. The kind of truth you want to tell your son can be traumatic at any age. I had a friend who, at the age of 40, found out that his father was not actually his own - it was such a shock for him that he lay facing the wall for a week in terrible depression.

April 7 marks the 70th birthday of the great director Francis Ford Coppola. The man who made Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather a worldwide hit So, in honor of Coppola, we are preparing the most mafia Italian dish - spaghetti alla devila, that is, the devil's way! Let's prepare the gas station... Let's start by taking a large yellow bell pepper, removing all the excess and chopping it into small thin strips.

You won't find it in kiosks or on supermarket shelves. It will only be on your tablet. He will be only yours.

Until now, in many apartments and offices, next to the monitors you can find our green, prickly friends - cacti, which are usually placed to the left or right of the screen, and in very advanced cases - right in front of the screen. When asked what this ruffly plant is doing here, and even in front of the monitor, users answer in all honesty that the cactus is saving them from computer radiation. He, like a cactus, feeds on this radiation.
