In fact, Russia is a stone's throw from America, the country is only a few miles away. But there is a complication. traveler Dmitry Shparo talks about her, whose ski crossing through the Bering Strait was listed in the & nbsp; Guinness Book of Records.
“ The width of the Bering Strait separating the United States and & nbsp; Russia, & nbsp; & ndash; 86 km. But in the strait, close to each other, there are two small islands, one of which belongs to the Russian Federation (O. Ratmanova), and the other & nbsp; & ndash; United States (approx. & Nbsp; Krusenstern). These islands (also called Diomedes Islands) reduce the distance between the Russian Federation and the & nbsp; United States of & nbsp; 20 & nbsp; times & nbsp; & ndash; to & nbsp; 3.8 & nbsp; km. When the strait is covered with solid and uniform ice, this distance can be covered in an hour, and & nbsp; same & nbsp; less. However, based on the calendar time, it will take a whole day to travel these kilometers.
The important point is & nbsp; the fact that the Russian-American border crossing between the islands is also & nbsp; time zone and & nbsp; date line. According to & shy; this on & nbsp; different islands times: 21 & nbsp; jet lag in winter and & nbsp; 20 & nbsp; hours in summer. Crossing the date line of & nbsp; is at & nbsp; west add the calendar number by & nbsp; 1 & nbsp; day, and when we move around & nbsp; in the opposite direction, it decreases, on the contrary. When Monday is already on & nbsp; Russian island, for & nbsp; for example, then & nbsp; on & nbsp; American land & nbsp; & ndash; only Sunday morning. In & nbsp; Russia & nbsp; & ndash; today, in & nbsp; Alaska & nbsp; & ndash; yesterday. Due to this characteristic, the islands have informal names & ndash; Yesterday and & nbsp; Tomorrow. If there is no fog on the & nbsp; sea and & nbsp; o. & Nbsp; Ratmanov is clearly visible from & nbsp; o. Kruzenshtern, its inhabitants can watch not only in & nbsp; Russia, but also & nbsp; tomorrow. If desired, any resident of the island of & nbsp; Ratmanova can celebrate her birthday at home, and & nbsp; the next day sail to & nbsp; island & nbsp; Kruzen & shy; stern and & nbsp; celebrate this date again & raquo ;.

On the reddit portal you can find a map of European capitals. It is clear where Russia & nbsp; & ndash; there ushanka.
And & nbsp; because this headdress of & nbsp; sometimes they want to 'fly' we & nbsp; & ndash; they say, he is not of Russian origin, but & nbsp; borrowed. There is an opinion that this form of hat dates back to the time of the Mongol conquest. Batu's warriors actually wore something similar. About & nbsp; it seems to be said and & nbsp; one of the & nbsp; variants of its Russian name & nbsp; & ndash; malachai, that is to say & nbsp; e. distorted Mongolian word 'Malgai' & nbsp; & ndash; on your mind.

However, judging by & nbsp; everything, the Russians invented their earbuds independently of the & nbsp; Mongols. These hats were called Malakhai by the Urals and Siberians. In & nbsp; Central Russia and & nbsp; in its periphery it bore the name of three hands, auricles, auricles, buzzards, and & nbsp; even a slap in the face & nbsp; & ndash; in the & nbsp; last case, the name was explained by long ears that braided the neck and & nbsp; did not allow the hat to fall by & nbsp; Strong wind. It was therefore called by the Pomors, the descendants of the Novgorodians, who did not really cross the & nbsp; Mongols.
But the ear cups have become a real symbol of the country already in & nbsp; XX & nbsp; century. In & nbsp; 1934 & nbsp; g. it was introduced in the & nbsp; marine, and & nbsp; in & nbsp; 1940 & nbsp; g. in & nbsp; the atria have already dressed everyone & nbsp; & ndash; and & nbsp; army, and & nbsp; police, and & nbsp; railway workers.

Mavrin thinks the situation in Poland is different. By joining the EU, this country could share in favor of the union a certain part of its sovereignty.

According to the Institute for Statistical Research and the Knowledge Economy of the Graduate School of Economics, the number of scientists in Russia over the past 10 years has decreased by & nbsp; 28.2 & nbsp; thousand. people.
The exit of staff from the & nbsp; science is not compensated by the arrival of new employees. Thus, in & nbsp; 2020 & nbsp; city & nbsp; in & nbsp; research organizations were accepted 85.5 & nbsp; thousand. people, in & nbsp; then & nbsp; while for & nbsp; that & nbsp; the same period of the sector of & nbsp; dropped out 91.1 & nbsp; thousand. anybody.
Robert Nigmatulin , scientific director of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences :
& mdash; This trend is causing serious concern in the scientific community. I can judge by & nbsp; my students & nbsp; & mdash; very many dispersed towards & nbsp; different countries. Especially a lot of them are relatively young & nbsp; & mdash; to & nbsp; less than & nbsp; 40 & nbsp; years.
At the same time, we cannot say that young people do not go to science. Go & nbsp; & mdash; the number of graduate students in & nbsp; in recent years, if & nbsp; decreased, so & nbsp; is insignificant. Corn! Very often come to graduate all and nbsp; end. And & nbsp; promising theses are not written. The youth of & nbsp; graduate studies are not engaged in the & nbsp; science, but the arrangement of their life, and & nbsp; the blame hard & mdash; try to live on & nbsp; 6 & ndash; 7 & nbsp; thousand. RUB & nbsp; in & nbsp; month ! Yes, the grant system has developed recently. But & nbsp; they should be a bonus, an appendix, and & nbsp; not & nbsp; the main source of income. And & nbsp; the average scholarship for a graduate student should be 30 & nbsp; thousand. to rub. It is only then that one can hope for & nbsp; that the graduate student will be immersed in scientific work.

Unfortunately, today officials have effectively excluded scientists from participating in the administration of science. They are obsessed with the idea that only them & nbsp; by & nbsp; force to bring a real order in & nbsp; this domain. Say, here's a little more & nbsp; & mdash; and & nbsp; everything will work … No, it will not work & nbsp; Science cannot be developed by administrative measures alone. Science thrives where there is a scientific atmosphere, and & nbsp; create it and the & nbsp; maintain it & nbsp; can only be a scientist. And & nbsp; in & nbsp; the director of a university or scientific institute must be a scientist of the corresponding profile. And & nbsp; now on & nbsp; this post is often put a manager. Unfortunately & nbsp; management reality and & nbsp; the leadership role of the bureaucracy are observed in & nbsp; all over the world, and & nbsp; this has already led & nbsp; to a decrease in the level of decision-making. & nbsp;
The country's top leaders should pay attention to & nbsp; this problem, understand the scale of the disaster, and & nbsp; then turn to & nbsp; us scientists. We are not enemies of our Homeland, we can really count on ourselves. It is necessary to have more confidence in scientists, to involve them in solving the most important state, socio-economic and technological problems. To & nbsp; ultimately, to & nbsp; critical moments, only them and & nbsp; can help. Watch how quickly our scientists, including members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, created a vaccine! Managers must therefore be assistants to scientists, and & nbsp; not the & nbsp; the bosses.
