Dates August 28

Montenegro celebrates - Day of Declaration of Montenegro as a Kingdom

According to the popular calendar, this is the Assumption

On this day:

in 1749 Johann Goethe was born, who told about Doctor Faust and Mephistopheles

Charles Coulomb, who explained most of the laws of electrostatics, died in 1806

in 1883, the most powerful eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in recent centuries occurred

Manolete died in 1947, unable to withstand competition with a bull in the arena

in 1948 Natalya Gundareva was born, who happily provided hostel accommodation for single people

David Fincher was born in 1962, revealing the secrets of The Social Network and Fight Club

Shania Twain, performer of the song with the strange name Ka-Ching, was born in 1965

in 1979, Konstantin Simonov died, who spoke about the destinies of the living and the dead

Events of August 28

At this time, the Civil War was still ongoing, and military operations were taking place in some areas. Cities and large settlements were the first to conduct a complete census in 1923; all industrial and commercial enterprises were also censused. It was only in October 1926 that a complete population census was carried out in the country; at that time there were 147 thousand inhabitants.

After the 1937 census, repressions of the Stalinist regime began - the country’s leadership considered that the statistics had deliberately underestimated the population for sabotage purposes. Two years later, a new census satisfied the leaders more.

The population in 1957 was 208.8 million. According to 1970 data, there were 241.7 million people in the country, although only 25% of savings were surveyed. The last population census in Russia will be completed in 2013.

The German population of the Autonomous Volga region was accused of aiding fascism, so the NKVD evicted all Germans from the Volga region to Siberia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Representatives of the German nation were left without property - it was completely confiscated. You could take with you only what fit in your hands.

In a new place, having unloaded people from the trains into the bare steppe, the trains went back. Many children and old people died in the first year. The rights of Germans were restored only in 1964. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Germany signed a protocol on the gradual restoration of the German Volga Republic.

Peter 1 introduced compulsory passports for peasants, but only for those who left their place of residence. At the end of the 19th century, the passport was made in the form of a booklet, which indicated the class, origin, and religion of the owner. With the advent of Soviet power, the passport system was completely eliminated - and identity could be verified by any officially issued document.

The passport system was restored in cities only in 1932. Disabled people, village residents and military personnel did not have passports. The last changes to the passport system took place in 1997, when a law was adopted to issue passports to Russian citizens from the age of 14.

The Assumption Fast was coming to an end - the Meat-Eating began, and with it came the time for weddings. The boys also tried to have time to woo the girls they liked before August 28, since this was the last opportunity this year to ask for their hand in marriage.

We noticed that autumn was gradually coming into its own by August 28, because swallows were flying to warmer climes. It was customary to do homemade preparations on this day and, in particular, pickle cucumbers. They tried to sow winter crops either three days after the Assumption, or three days after the holiday. Also on August 28, they began to harvest potatoes from the fields.

In the Orthodox and Catholic churches, the Feast of the Assumption is equally dedicated to the Mother of God - her death. The New Testament says that Christ, having already been crucified on Calvary, instructed the Apostle John to take care of his mother. And after the resurrection and then the ascension of Christ into heaven, Mary actually lived for a long time in the house of John in Jerusalem, often going to Calvary to pray.

One day an angel appeared to her and said that she would die in 3 days. On the day of Mary's death, the apostles came. They put her in a tomb and walled the cave with stone.

Only the Apostle Thomas, who asked the other apostles to open the tomb, did not have time to say goodbye to Mary. And when they did this, they saw that Mary was no longer inside - only funeral clothes lay in the coffin. On the same day, the Mother of God herself appeared to the apostles along with the angels, and the disciples realized that she had ascended to heaven.

The Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on August 28 began to be celebrated during the period of early Christianity. In the 6th century it was already celebrated everywhere. Officially, the first date is considered to be 5 8 2. The Orthodox Church classifies the Dormition as one of the Twelve Feasts - the 12 most important holidays after Easter. The Assumption is preceded by a fairly strict Assumption Fast lasting 2 weeks.

The Slavs associated the Mother of God with Mother Earth, and therefore many corresponding rituals were performed on this day. It was forbidden to walk on the ground barefoot or stick sharp objects into the soil on this day. Therefore, they usually did not work for the Assumption.

The holiday was also called Dozhin, since by this time they managed to squeeze all the bread. Mostly women took part in the harvest, and therefore the time after the Dormition in the old days was called Indian Summer - this time lasted until Ivan Lent (September 11).

Major General Igor Konashenkov denied the authenticity of the list of formations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allegedly “pulled into combat areas” in Ukraine.

“We drew attention to this information “duck” and are forced to disappoint its overseas authors and their few apologists in Russia, who presented a “united front” with revelations against the Russian Ministry of Defense,” he said.

Konashenkov explained that the formations of the Southern Military District, airborne troops and other individual units indicated on the list are indeed combat-ready based on the results of exercises, surprise inspections and training, and are capable of successfully carrying out tasks of armed defense of the integrity and inviolability of the country’s territory. Currently, most of the units on the list are engaged in military exercises.

“This is normal planned work of any army,” emphasized the official representative of the law enforcement agency.

In addition, the Ministry of Defense tracked the place and time of publication of the original source of the “duck,” and Konashenkov advised the authors next time to approach more carefully the “elementary requirements of conspiracy and camouflage.”

— The originals of such “ducks” should not be published for further reposting on a site “registered” at the end of one’s working day in San Francisco (about 4 a.m. Moscow time). And it is even more cynical to prescribe in it instructions for the further use of the material “for relatives who are worried about the fate of their relatives serving in the army,” the major general concluded.

A Dozhd correspondent met in Pskov with the wife of a paratrooper who disappeared “in the south.” She told her story on condition of anonymity.

Before the conversation began, the acquaintance spent a long time convincing her that we were not from the FSB and that we could be trusted. She did not dare to give her last name or even her husband’s name.

“They didn’t even let me go home. He called and asked only to collect the necessary things, and I brought them to his unit,” says the woman. Then she saw her husband for the last time. She cannot contact the paratrooper who passed through Ossetia, received a medal “for the reunification of Crimea” and is now sent to the south again.

He himself called only once on August 25 from a Ukrainian number. “My husband told me to delete it and not call this phone. We only managed to talk for a couple of minutes,” she recalls. He described everything that was happening “there” with the word “kick-ass.” “We’ve been bombed for a week, tomorrow we’ll go on the offensive,” the woman retells her husband’s words.

“If something happens, squeeze everything you can out of them - an apartment, payments. So that it wouldn’t all be in vain,” the paratrooper, who, like almost everyone else, had a military mortgage, told her. If he had broken the contract, she explains, it would not have been possible to obtain housing ownership.

“Since then, no word, no word.” The woman did not go to the unit for an explanation: “Yes, I know what they will say there. Mothers walked. A psychologist sits there and says in a monotonous voice that the phone is dead, that’s why he can’t call, but he’s on training.”

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, became an honorary professor at the Russian Islamic University named after Kunta-Hadji in the city of Grozny for “outstanding services in the revival of traditional Islam in Russia.”

The decision to award the title was made by the academic council of the university. Kadyrov himself emphasizes that he had previously repeatedly refused offers from “dozens of universities for honorary titles,” but in this case he gladly accepted the diploma and the robe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's approval rating has dropped significantly for the first time since the beginning of 2014. This is evidenced by the results of a survey by Levada Center.
According to the study, for the period from June to August 22–25, the rating of the head of Russia was approximately 85.5%. At the same time, from August 1–4, 87% of Russians approved of the president’s performance, which exceeded the record figures for 2014 for the fourth time. However, the following results from the end of August showed a decrease of 3 percentage points.

In turn, confidence in the activities of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev decreased by 4 percent. The previous figure as of August 1–4 was a one-year high of 71%.

The head of the government of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Zakharchenko, admitted that active Russian military personnel are fighting on his side, but noted that they are doing this on a voluntary basis, and not on instructions from their command. The Prime Minister of the DPR made this statement in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

According to Zakharchenko, there are many Russians among the militia, including both former career military personnel and current Russian military personnel, who “preferred to spend their vacation not on the beach, but among the brothers who are fighting for their freedom.”

The prime minister of the self-proclaimed republic added that there were losses among Russian volunteers, but did not specify their size. In total, according to him, about three to four thousand Russians came to the DPR. Some of them went home, but the majority, according to Zakharchenko, continue to fight.

According to Gazeta.Ru, State Duma deputy Dmitry Gudkov prepared a request addressed to the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu. According to him, he compiled the questions based on a column by journalist Oleg Kashin.

The deputy is waiting for clarification from the minister whether fighters of the 76th Airborne Division are really participating in operations on the other side of the Russian-Ukrainian border. In addition, he is interested in how many fighters of the division, current and former, are listed as dead in the Rostov region. He further wonders whether among those whom the Ukrainian media call dead Russian soldiers are members of the division and those who recently retired from it. Finally, Gudkov asks to check whether the relatives of the dead soldiers received financial assistance in exchange for silence.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is concerned about the disappearance of MIA Rossiya Segodnya photojournalist Andrei Stenin in Ukraine and hopes that he will return home, RIA Novosti reports. “Unfortunately, the fate of those whose newsreels and photographs bring to life for us the past era and what is happening in our days can be very dramatic. Today we are all worried about Andrei Stenin, a photojournalist for the Rossiya Segodnya agency, who disappeared in Ukraine, and we hope that he will return home,” Medvedev said at the opening of the “Look into the Eyes of War” exhibition in Moscow.

Today in Dnepropetrovsk an emergency meeting of the Regional Defense Council is being held with the participation of the regional leadership and law enforcement agencies. It is conducted by the head of the region, Igor Kolomoisky. Leaders of the Zaporozhye region of Ukraine were also invited to the meeting.

“The issue of introducing Plan B in the region will be considered,” Kolomoisky told the Ukrainian publication Obozrevatel.

Russian oil and gas company Gazprom may become the new owner of the Serbian club Red Star.

According to the Serbian publication Blic, Gazprom will pay 100 million euros for 100 percent of the team's shares - the Serbian state will receive 40 million as compensation, 20 million will go to the Belgrade municipality, and another 40 million will be used to pay off the club's debts.

Yesterday Dmitry Monakhov wrote on Twitter that he is a Russian, not a redneck, not a murderer and not an occupier: “I am ashamed that Putin is my president. At 9.00 I go to the arena against the war.” And today he came. One. Without any posters, without any propaganda, he simply came and began to express his position in front of passers-by.

“Shut your mouth, motherfucker,” one of the passers-by shouted. “If you don’t like it, get out of here, this is our homeland and we will live here,” someone else shouted.

A member of the gang of lawyer Fedorovich, a 27-year-old knife fighting master from St. Petersburg, for information about whom the police promised 1 million rubles in May, recently appeared in Ukraine. And, apparently, there he is fighting among the militias.

One of the readers of Znak.com gave them a link to the page of a resident of St. Petersburg, Veselina Cherdantseva, who spent a long time with arms in her hands in the south-east of Ukraine among supporters of Donbass independence. So, among this girl’s messages there is one dated July 8th, where she writes the following (spelling and punctuation preserved - editor’s note):

“Who I didn’t expect to meet here was my old St. Petersburg friend Henry! But it was joy)))))"

This line is the caption to the photo in which Veselina herself and the same Sergei Ermolinsky, known under the nickname henri_spb, who is wanted by the police.

It is known that Sergei Ermolinsky had a hand (as well as a knife) in the murder of 23-year-old student of the Ural Mining University Yegor Polyansky, who was suspected of trafficking in synthetic drugs. And he came to Yekaterinburg to take part in knife fighting competitions. Actually, after the tournament, Fedorovich and Ermolinsky tested their skills on a living person, taking his life.

The Investigative Committee for the Sverdlovsk Region reported that they knew the information about Ermolinsky that appeared on VKontakte, but refrained from further comments.

Readers of Fontanka are informed about the movement of ambulances around the city, accompanied by military traffic police crews. The first message was received by the editor at 18.27 on Wednesday, August 27.

“Seven military ambulances with flashing lights and VAI escort are driving along Kamennoostrovsky,” wrote St. Petersburg resident Pavel.

In a telephone conversation, he clarified that the motorcade was moving from the north of St. Petersburg, where, we recall, a military airfield is located.

Another letter arrived a few hours later and was supplemented with photographs of the column.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he canceled his planned visit to Turkey and urgently convened a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) due to the situation in the Donetsk region. Ukraine will initiate urgent meetings of the UN Security Council and the EU Council, the presidential press service said in a statement.

“I decided to cancel my working visit to the Republic of Turkey due to the sharp aggravation of the situation in the Donetsk region, in particular in Amvrosievka and Starobeshevo, since the introduction of Russian troops into Ukraine took place,” Poroshenko said.

This morning the imagination of Fontanka readers was struck by a man in a carnival costume (presumably a hare), who went out onto the balcony of the top floor of house No. 38 on Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt. One of the eyewitnesses even called the police.

Law enforcement agencies in St. Petersburg confirmed information about the incident - they received a message about this from a colleague from the traffic police passing by. The latter called for help. But by the time the police arrived, the man in the carnival costume was no longer visible on the balcony - he went back into the apartment. Now law enforcement agencies, through the district police officer, are trying to find out whether it was signs of mental illness, or whether there is some logical explanation for this.

The authorities are “merging” the volunteer battalions, they are afraid of their march on Kyiv. A fighter from the Shakhtersk battalion announced this today in Kyiv, speaking during a picket of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reports an OstroV correspondent.

“These people have been sitting there for 5 days already (in Ilovaisk - OstroV). The last time I had contact with them was today at 7 o’clock in the morning. It's hard for them there. There was no help for them there. Yesterday, the ATO speaker spoke on TV and I had a desire to break him up, because I really knew what the situation was there. They have no help,” he said.

He also believes that all volunteer battalions are being “drained” because they are afraid that they will go to Kyiv.

The fighter believes that it is necessary to change all the heads of the Ministry of Defense and generals. He also does not understand why aviation does not destroy tanks and other equipment of terrorists.

“Otherwise things won’t work. There is no truth,” he concluded.

The annual meeting of the board of the Department of Education of the Odessa Regional State Administration was dedicated to preparations for the new school year. The instruction for teachers to come in embroidered shirts was not of an official nature and was a “recommendatory request.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s schedule does not yet include a repeat meeting with the Ukrainian leader, press secretary of the Russian head of state Dmitry Peskov told the Russian News Service.

Answering a question about the president’s schedule, Peskov noted that Putin’s schedule includes a visit to the All-Russian youth forum “Seliger”, held in the Tver region. The press secretary did not specify on what day the head of state will arrive at the forum.

Volunteers from Kalmykia take part in hostilities in southeastern Ukraine. Former paratroopers and participants in armed conflicts in the North Caucasus from the Steppe Republic have been fighting near Lugansk and Donetsk for more than two months. The plans of the Kalmyk combatants include the formation of the Dzungarian regiment as part of the National Cossack Guard defending the Lugansk People's Republic.

Another batch of volunteers from Kalmykia crossed the Russian-Ukrainian border from the Rostov region on the night of August 24-25 this year, when the armed formations of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics launched a counter-offensive against Ukrainian troops. Volunteers from the Steppe Republic almost immediately went to the front and today take part in combat operations in the Lugansk region. “The Kalmyks are fighting as part of the National Cossack Guard of the All-Great Don Army, commanded by Ataman Nikolai Kozitsyn,” a source well familiar with the situation told NG.

The Investigative Committee has completed its investigation into the case of the criminal group Vilor Struganov, known in criminal circles as Pasha-Tsvetomusika, official representative of the department Vladimir Markin told Interfax on Thursday.

“The investigative authorities of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Krasnoyarsk Territory have completed the investigation of the criminal case against 52-year-old Struganov, as well as persons from his inner circle - Vladimir Osharov and Igor Elovsky,” Markin noted.

The inventory of all protective structures of civil defense (DS GO) located on the territory of Russia must be completed before September 1, reports the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation appealed to the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations with a request to check all bomb shelters in the country and bring them into working order.

Shelters protect people from the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion (shock wave, radioactive and light radiation), toxic substances, bacteriological agents, and from exposure to high temperatures during fires. The capacity of shelters ranges from several tens to several thousand people. Anti-radiation shelters provide protection mainly from radioactive and light radiation; basements, cellars, undergrounds, mines, and also mine workings are used for them.

“Orders have been issued to carry out an inventory of civil defense equipment, inventory commissions have been formed, the work of which must be completed by August 31, 2014,” says the document of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.

On the night of August 28 at the Kaliningrad Zoo, a hippopotamus escaped from its enclosure. At about 1 a.m., Milya broke down part of the metal fence and went for a walk around the zoo, the institution’s press service reported.

The guards almost immediately noticed the departed hippopotamus and called the zoo management. After 15 minutes, specialists managed to drive the fugitive, who managed to move 100 meters away, back to her place. In the enclosure, veterinarians examined 14-year-old Milia and did not find any negative consequences of a night walk.

As the zoo's press service clarified for the Kaliningrad portal Klops.Ru, hippos now only go out into a large outdoor enclosure with a high-strength fence. However, the “hippopotamus” is an emergency facility, and has long been at the top of the list for reconstruction. The new enclosure, as planned by the zoo management, will be glass with a wide beach and a moat.

In the fall, construction of a Buddhist temple on Poklonnaya Hill will begin. The temple will be dedicated to Buddhist soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War. The temple will be built with donations; the cost of its construction is not yet known.

The chairman of the Moscow Buddhist community, Dulma Shagdarova, said that the temple building could be two-story. On the second floor of the temple it is logical to create an exhibition dedicated to the heroes of the Second World War. The architectural design of the building has not yet been approved. In September, construction of another Buddhist temple will begin in Moscow - in the Otradnoe district. The temple will also be built with donations; about 250 million rubles are needed for its construction. Today, about 20 thousand Buddhists live in Moscow; there is not a single Buddhist temple in the city.

Those who are soon to change their passports risk encountering an unexpected problem. Due to the fact that Russia has switched to international standards for writing the names and surnames of its citizens, the rules for transliterating your full name may change, reports Komsomolskaya Pravda.

For example, in your new passport you will see ANDREI instead of ANDREY or IANA instead of YANA.

There shouldn’t seem to be any particular problems when one letter diverges, but experience suggests: it’s still better that they don’t exist.

A NATO spokesman said that there are more than a thousand Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory. Reuters reports this.

“They support the separatists. They are fighting alongside them,” said an officer of the North Atlantic Alliance forces.

“It takes months to train such crews. It is very unlikely that these vehicles were driven by separatists,” the NATO representative stated.

At the same time, the officer noted that the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine is in the nature of “incursions” and not a full-scale invasion. According to him, Moscow's efforts are aimed at preventing the defeat of the separatists and maintaining control over the territory.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin canceled the documents for the reconstruction of the apartment building of the Proshin brothers, writes M24.ru. Now the contractor cannot carry out any construction work on the property.

The document that the contracting company received in 2013 allowed the building to be reconstructed as a hotel, provided that its façade was completely preserved. Despite this, the building of the historical building was demolished on August 21.

Today, August 28, it became known that the company responsible for the demolition of the building paid a fine of 1.5 million rubles for “violations of agreed production conditions.” According to representatives of the company, the building had to be demolished due to the threat of collapse.

19-year-old St. Petersburg resident Vladimir Podrezov was arrested by the Tagansky Court in Moscow on charges of painting the spire and star of a high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. This is the fifth person involved in the case. He faces up to seven years in prison.

As ITAR-TASS reports, Podrezov is charged with hooliganism and vandalism. In total, he could face up to seven years in prison.

Previously, four more suspects of high-rise hooliganism were sent under house arrest. These are Alexander Pogrebnov, Anna Lepeshkina, Evgeny Korotkov and Alexey Shirokozhukhov. They all deny their guilt and claim that the spire was painted by unknown people, and by coincidence they ended up there to make parachute jumps from a high-rise building.

The authorities of the Dnepropetrovsk region activate Plan B in connection with the Russian invasion and assume responsibility for the Zaporozhye region, Mariupol and surrounding areas.

Deputy Chairman of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration Gennady Korban told Ukrainskaya Pravda about this, speaking about a meeting of the regional defense council.

“Plan B will be introduced at the meeting.” I can’t reveal the details - this is classified information,” he noted.

“We invited the leadership of the Zaporozhye region and are including them in Plan B.” We have technically taken upon ourselves to provide security for this region, because it is weaker, and we see that the invasion could be, first of all, through the Zaporozhye region,” he said.

“Therefore, we take upon ourselves the supervision of this region and surrounding areas - in particular Mariupol and everything beyond it,” Korban emphasized.
