It is always interesting for me to watch English-language films in their original language. Such viewings can be made at the 35mm cinema on Pokrovka. This time I watched there "Education of the Senses" directed by Lone Scherfig.
This is a film about love, about sincere feelings, about the "birth" of a woman from a girl, about life, that is, about life. about everything.
At first I thought that the film was about another nymphet and Humbert Humbert (Nabokov's laurels are haunting). But gradually I realized that the film is not about that.
In an American city in the middle of the last century, a sixteen-year-old daughter Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is growing (already grown) in the family of a respectable gentleman. Dad really wants his daughter to go to Oxford. The girl studies well at school, plays the cello in the orchestra, crams Latin, and in the evenings she listens to French music and smokes with her girlfriends in the bistro. Returning from an orchestra rehearsal on a rainy day, he meets an adult man, David (Peter Sarsgaard). The girl is smart, well-read, inquisitive and witty. Cute dialogue leads to regular communication and meetings in clubs. David easily charms his parents, and they calmly trust him with their daughter. The actress is insanely charming, there is so much French in her: grace, grace, style. The actor at times reminded me of Colin Firth (one of my favorite actors), there is a similarity in look and mannerisms. Jenny, with her still girlish fragility, is already quite sexually mature and exciting men. She is so sweet in communicating with an adult friend and his friends, her intellect is so rich, her knowledge and interests are versatile (art, classical music and everything French). So naturally held in their company. With every hour of communication, she discovers something new and learns life. Jenny tried to end her relationship with David after coming face to face with his machinations, but couldn't resist the onslaught of his intelligible arguments. It is interesting to observe how a beautiful woman is “born” from an angular girl: she changes clothes from a school dress, thanks to David’s friend’s girlfriend, into stylish things, changes her hairstyle, starts using makeup. During their joint trip to Paris, David notices the impression Jenny makes on men. The very air of Paris (a holiday that is always with you, I want to see you), the sounds of the accordion, the Seine, the Eiffel Tower bring them even closer. It becomes clear that this is not just flirting and easy passion, but a deep, mutual feeling. It is very interesting to follow the origin and development of a sincere feeling, to observe how it captures the participants of a new love story more and more.
Jenny more and more falls under the charm and influence of David. She is already talking about changing her life goal: Oxford is changing to marriage. Jenny is so charming and sweet that David's friend is infatuated with her, David notices this, lightning fast and passionately proposes to Jenny. She agrees and leaves the school with a challenge.
David invites Jenny and her parents to a restaurant to celebrate their engagement. Leaves future relatives in the car, and he runs out to call. Janie was looking in the glove compartment of his car for cigarettes, and found letters addressed to Mr. David Goldman and Mrs. Goldman ... That ended what had begun so beautifully. Betrayal and dense lies destroyed happiness and broke the soul of a young and innocent creature. Jenny is trying to find out something, it’s not clear what, turning to David’s friends, but when they find out that David is so brazenly and meanly deceiving the girl, they break off relations with him, telling Jenny not only to blame them for everything, but also remembered how she liked to have fun with money acquired by fraudulent means. Jenny goes to David's house, it turns out he lived on the next street, that's why they so "accidentally" met. On the threshold, she sees David's wife and child, she knows about the existence of Jenny, but Jenny no longer needs anything.
That's it, life hit the head of such a fragile, but still strong creature. The girl grows up before our eyes: from a sweet, flirtatious child-woman, she turns into a woman wise by bitter experience. He inhales deeply and goes to bow to the principal of the school to ask for restoration, she "cannot help." Then - to the teacher, who respected and appreciated her student. She understood and helped. Jenny crams Latin and, oh, miracle, goes to Oxford! In Oxford: young boyfriend, plans to go to Paris together. Jenny's voiced thoughts: I'm going to Paris like I've never been there!
That's all. The pain remained for life, but the strength of mind, intelligence and wisdom, so bitterly acquired in such a tragic situation, save this young woman who has matured so early.
The actors are so truthful and sincere in expressing their feelings. By their looks, intonations and smiles, you trace the whole path of their love: from such a sweet and “rainy” beginning to the bitter tears of both at such a terrible separation in their life truth. The man pays for his dirty lies, trying to keep and return Jenny's feelings with some ridiculous promises of a divorce. It hurts because this is the first big lie in her life. Now she will perceive every man who tries to have a relationship with her through the prism of deceit and lies of first love. It is rightly said that first love rarely ends happily.
Before you think about what to do meanness. Think not only about the one who believes and loves you, but also about yourself, because you will pay so bitterly and terribly for your lies. You won't find happiness in life anyway. She, the one you offended, will forever remain in your heart, and all subsequent ones will be flawed, in all subsequent ones you will look for her features, but you will never find her. Pay.
Airborne troops are one of the strongest components of the army of the Russian Federation. In recent years, due to the tense international situation, the importance of the Airborne Forces has been growing. The size of the territory of the Russian Federation, its landscape diversity, as well as the borders with almost all conflict states, indicate that it is necessary to have a large supply of special groupings of troops that can provide the necessary protection in all directions, which is the air force.
In contact with
As air force structure extensive, the question often arises of the Airborne Forces and the DSB are the same troops? The article analyzes the differences between them, the history, goals and military training of both organizations, the composition.
Differences between troops
The differences lie in the names themselves. The DShB is an air assault brigade organized and specializing in attacks on the enemy's close rear in the event of large-scale military operations. Air assault brigades subordinate to the Airborne Forces - airborne troops, as one of their divisions and specialize only in assault seizures.
Airborne Forces are landing troops, whose tasks are the capture of the enemy, as well as the capture and destruction of enemy weapons and other air operations. The functionality of the Airborne Forces is much wider - reconnaissance, sabotage, assault. For a better understanding of the differences, consider the history of the creation of the Airborne Forces and the Airborne Forces separately.
History of the Airborne Forces
The Airborne Forces began its history in 1930, when an operation was carried out near the city of Voronezh on August 2, where 12 people parachuted from the air as part of a special unit. This operation then opened the eyes of the leadership to new opportunities for paratroopers. The following year, based Leningrad Military District, a detachment is being formed, which received a long name - airborne and consisted of about 150 people.
The effectiveness of the paratroopers was obvious and the Revolutionary Military Council decides to expand it by creating airborne troops. The order saw the light at the end of 1932. In parallel, in Leningrad, instructors were trained, and later they were distributed to the districts by special-purpose aviation battalions.
In 1935, the military district of Kyiv demonstrated to foreign delegations the full power of the Airborne Forces, arranging an impressive landing of 1200 paratroopers, who quickly captured the airfield. Later, similar exercises were held in Belarus, as a result of which the German delegation, impressed by the landing of 1,800 people, decided to organize their own airborne detachment, and then a regiment. Thus, The Soviet Union is rightfully the birthplace of the Airborne Forces.
In 1939, our landing troops there is an opportunity to show themselves in practice. In Japan, the 212th brigade was landed on the Khalkin Gol River, and a year later the 201st, 204th and 214th brigades will be involved in the war with Finland. Knowing that the Second World War would no longer pass us by, 5 air corps of 10 thousand people each were formed and the Airborne Forces acquired a new status - guards troops.
The year 1942 was marked by the largest airborne operation during the war years, which took place near Moscow, where about 10 thousand paratroopers were dropped into the German rear. After the war, it was decided to attach the Airborne Forces to the Supreme High Command and appoint the commander of the Airborne Forces of the USSR SV, this honor falls to Colonel General V.V. Glagolev.
Big innovations in airborne troops came with "Uncle Vasya". In 1954 V.V. Glagolev is replaced by V.F. Margelov and holds the post of commander of the Airborne Forces until 1979. Under Margelov, the Airborne Forces are supplied with new military equipment, including artillery mounts, combat vehicles, and special attention is paid to work under the conditions of a surprise attack by nuclear weapons.
Airborne units took part in all the most significant conflicts - the events of Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh, North and South Ossetia. Several of our battalions carried out UN peacekeeping missions in Yugoslavia.
In our time, the ranks of the Airborne Forces include about 40 thousand fighters, when conducting special operations - paratroopers form its basis, since the Airborne Forces are a highly qualified component of our army.
The history of the formation of the DShB
Air assault brigades began their history after it was decided to rework the tactics of the Airborne Forces in the context of the unleashing of large-scale hostilities. The purpose of such air defenses was to disorganize opponents by mass landings close to the enemy, such operations were most often carried out from helicopters in small groups.
Toward the end of the 60s in the Far East, it was decided to form the 11th and 13th brigades with helicopter regiments. These regiments were involved mainly in hard-to-reach areas, the first attempts at landings took place in the northern cities of Magdachi and Zavitinsk. Therefore, in order to become a paratrooper of this brigade, strength and special endurance were needed, since the weather conditions were almost unpredictable, for example, in winter the temperature reached -40 degrees, and in summer there was abnormal heat.
The location of the first DShB not just because the Far East was chosen. It was a time of difficult relations with China, which became even more aggravated after the clash of interests on the island of Damascus. The brigades were ordered to prepare to repel an attack from China, which could attack at any time.
The high level and significance of the DSB was demonstrated during exercises in the late 80s on the island of Iturup, where 2 battalions and artillery landed on MI-6 and MI-8 helicopters. The garrison, due to weather conditions, was not warned about the exercises, as a result of which they opened fire on the landers, but thanks to the highly qualified training of the paratroopers, none of the participants in the operation was injured.
In the same years, the DSB consisted of 2 regiments, 14 brigades, about 20 battalions. One brigade attached to one military district, but only to those who had access to the border by land. Kyiv also had its own brigade, 2 more brigades were given to our units located abroad. Each brigade had an artillery battalion, rear and combat units.
After the USSR ceased to exist, the country's budget did not allow the mass maintenance of the army, so there was nothing left to do but to disband some parts of the DSHB and the Airborne Forces. The beginning of the 90s was marked by the withdrawal of the DSB from the subordination of the Far East and the transfer to full subordination to Moscow. Air assault brigades are being transformed into separate airborne brigades - 13 OVDbr. In the mid-90s, the plan to reduce the Airborne Forces disbanded the composition of the 13th Airborne Brigade.
Thus, from the foregoing, it can be seen that the DSB was created as one of the structural divisions of the Airborne Forces.
Composition of the Airborne Forces
The composition of the Airborne Forces includes the following units:
- airborne;
- air assault;
- mountain (which operate exclusively on mountain hills).
These are the three main components of the Airborne Forces. In addition, they consist of a division (76.98, 7, 106 Guards Air Assault), brigades and regiments (45, 56, 31, 11, 83, 38 Guards Airborne). In Voronezh, a brigade was created in 2013, which received the number 345.
Personnel of the Airborne Forces prepared in educational institutions of the military reserve of Ryazan, Novosibirsk, Kamenetz-Podolsk, in Kolomenskoye. The training was conducted in the areas of paratrooper (airborne assault) platoon, commanders of reconnaissance platoons.
The school produced about three hundred graduates annually - this was not enough to satisfy the personnel requirements of the airborne troops. Consequently, it was possible to get into the military personnel of the Airborne Forces by graduating from the landing faculties in special areas of such schools as combined arms and military departments.
Training
The commanders of the DShB were most often selected from the Airborne Forces, and the battalion commanders, deputy battalion commanders, company commanders from the nearest military districts. In the 70s, due to the fact that the leadership decided to repeat their experience - to create and staff the DShB, the planned enrollment in educational institutions is expanding who trained future officers of the Airborne Forces. The mid-80s were marked by the fact that officers were issued for service in the Airborne Troops, having been trained according to the educational program for the Airborne Forces. Also in these years, a complete rearrangement of officers was underway, it was decided to replace almost all of them in the DShV. At the same time, excellent students went to serve mainly in the Airborne Forces.
To get into the service in the Airborne Forces, as in the DSB, you must meet specific criteria:
- height 173 and above;
- average physical development;
- secondary education;
- without medical restrictions.
If everything matches, then the future fighter begins training.
Particular attention is paid, of course, to the physical training of airborne paratroopers, which is carried out constantly, begins with a daily rise at 6 in the morning, hand-to-hand combat (a special training program) and ends with long forced marches of 30–50 km. Therefore, each fighter has a huge endurance and endurance, besides, guys who were engaged in any kind of sport that develops that very endurance are selected into their ranks. To check it, they pass an endurance test - in 12 minutes a fighter must run 2.4-2.8 km, otherwise there is no point in the Airborne Forces service.
It is worth noting that it is not for nothing that they are called universal fighters. These people can operate on various terrains in any weather conditions absolutely silently, can disguise themselves, own all types of weapons of both their own and the enemy, manage any type of transport, means of communication. In addition to excellent physical fitness, psychological training is also required, since the fighters have to overcome not only long distances, but also “work with their heads” to get ahead of the enemy throughout the entire operation.
Intellectual fitness is determined using tests compiled by experts. It is mandatory to take into account psychological compatibility in the team, the guys are included in a certain detachment for 2-3 days, after which the old-timers evaluate their behavior.
Psychophysical training is being carried out, which implies tasks with increased risk, where there is both physical and mental stress. Such tasks are aimed at overcoming fear. At the same time, if it turns out that the future paratrooper does not experience, in general, a feeling of fear, then he is not accepted for further training, since this feeling is quite naturally taught to control him, and not completely eradicated. The training of the Airborne Forces gives our country a huge advantage in the face of fighters over any enemy. Most of the VDVeshnikov lead an already familiar lifestyle even after retirement.
Armament of the Airborne Forces
As for the technical equipment, combined arms equipment and specially designed for the nature of this type of troops are involved in the Airborne Forces. Some of the samples were created during the USSR, but the bulk was developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The machines of the Soviet period include:
- landing combat vehicle - 1 (the number reaches - 100 units);
- BMD-2M (about 1 thousand units), they are used both in ground and in parachute landing methods.
These techniques were tested over many years and took part in multiple armed conflicts that took place on the territory of our country and abroad. In our time, in conditions of rapid progress, these models are outdated both morally and physically. A little later, the BMD-3 model came out, and today the number of such equipment is only 10 units, since production has been discontinued, they plan to gradually replace it with the BMD-4.
The Airborne Forces are also armed with armored personnel carriers BTR-82A, BTR-82AM and BTR-80 and the most numerous tracked armored personnel carrier - 700 units, and it is also the most outdated (mid-70s), it is gradually being replaced by an armored personnel carrier - MDM "Rakushka". There are also anti-tank guns 2S25 "Sprut-SD", an armored personnel carrier - RD "Robot", and anti-tank systems: "Competition", "Metis", "Fagot", and "Cornet". air defense represented by missile systems, but a special place is given to the novelty, which not so long ago appeared in service with the Airborne Forces - the Verba MANPADS.
Not so long ago, new models of technology appeared:
- armored car "Tiger";
- Snowmobile A-1;
- truck KAMAZ - 43501.
As for communication systems, they are represented by locally developed electronic warfare complexes "Leer-2 and 3", Infauna, system control is represented by air defense "Barnaul", "Andromeda" and "Flight-K" - automation of command and control.
Weapon represented by samples, for example, the Yarygin pistol, the PMM and the PSS silent pistol. The Soviet Ak-74 assault rifle is still the personal weapon of the paratroopers, but is gradually being replaced by the latest AK-74M, and the silent Val assault rifle is also used in special operations. There are both Soviet and post-Soviet parachute systems that can parachute large batches of soldiers and all the military equipment described above. Heavier equipment includes automatic grenade launchers AGS-17 "Flame" and AGS-30, SPG-9.
Armament DShB
DShB had transport and helicopter regiments which included:
- about twenty mi-24s, forty mi-8s and forty mi-6s;
- the anti-tank battery was armed with a mounted anti-tank grenade launcher 9 MD;
- the mortar battery included eight 82mm BM-37s;
- in the anti-aircraft missile platoon, there were nine Strela-2M MANPADS;
- also included several BMD-1s, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers for each airborne assault battalion.
The armament of the brigade-artillery group consisted of GD-30 howitzers, PM-38 mortars, GP 2A2 cannons, the Malyutka anti-tank missile system, SPG-9MD, and the ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun.
Heavier equipment includes automatic grenade launchers AGS-17 "Flame" and AGS-30, SPG-9 "Spear". Aerial reconnaissance is carried out using the domestic Orlan-10 drone.
One interesting fact took place in the history of the Airborne Forces, for quite a long time, thanks to erroneous information from the media, special forces soldiers (SpN) were not rightfully called paratroopers. The fact, what is in the Air Force of our country in the Soviet Union, as well as in the post-Soviet Union, there were no special forces troops, but there are units and units of the Special Forces of the GRU of the General Staff, which arose in the 50s. Until the 1980s, the command was forced to completely deny their existence in our country. Therefore, those who were appointed to these troops learned about them only after they were accepted into service. For the media, they were disguised as motorized rifle battalions.
Airborne Forces Day
Paratroopers celebrate the birthday of the Airborne Forces, like the DSB since August 2, 2006. This kind of gratitude for the effectiveness of the air units, the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation was signed in May of the same year. Despite the fact that the holiday was declared by our government, the birthday is celebrated not only in our country, but also in Belarus, Ukraine and most of the CIS countries.
Every year, veterans of the Airborne Forces and active soldiers meet in the so-called "meeting place", in each city it has its own, for example, in Astrakhan "Brotherly Garden", in Kazan "Victory Square", in Kyiv "Hydropark", in Moscow "Poklonnaya Gora", Novosibirsk Central Park. Demonstrations, concerts and fairs are organized in large cities.
Thanks to cinema and television, most Russians know about the existence of special forces units that are subordinate to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Special Forces GRU). However, these special units are by no means the only ones in the Russian armed forces, their “colleagues” are simply less well-known and not so “promoted”. At the same time, with their professionalism and combat experience, they are hardly inferior to the glorified GRU special forces. First of all, we are talking about special forces of the Airborne Troops of the Russian Federation or special forces of the Airborne Forces.
Special units of the Airborne Forces appeared quite a long time ago, even during the Great Patriotic War. In February 1994, a special forces regiment of the Airborne Forces was formed on the basis of two separate special-purpose battalions. Closer to our time, this unit took an active part in both campaigns in the North Caucasus, and was later involved in the war with Georgia in 2008. His place of permanent deployment is Kubinka near Moscow. At the end of 2014, the airborne regiment was deployed into a brigade.
Despite the fact that the tasks that the GRU special forces and the airborne special forces perform are largely similar, there are still differences between these units. However, before talking about the special forces of the Airborne Forces, a few words should be said about the history of the special forces in general.
Special forces history
Parts for special operations were created in the USSR almost immediately after the Bolsheviks came to power. The units were engaged in reconnaissance and subversive work in unfriendly territory. In neighboring countries, pro-Soviet partisan detachments were created, the work of which was supervised by military intelligence from Moscow. In 1921, a special department was created in the Red Army, which was engaged in the collection of intelligence information for the leadership of the Red Army.
Having gone through several reorganizations, the intelligence department of the Red Army in 1940 was finally transferred to the subordination of the General Staff. The GRU special forces were created in 1950.
Special units of the Airborne Forces appeared in the 30s, immediately after the appearance of this type of troops in the USSR. The first part of the Airborne Forces was formed in 1930 near Voronezh. Almost immediately, there was an obvious need to create their own airborne intelligence.
The fact is that the Airborne Forces are designed to perform specific functions - operations behind enemy lines, destroying especially important enemy targets, disrupting its communications, seizing bridgeheads and other operations of a predominantly offensive nature.
For a successful landing operation, preliminary reconnaissance of the landing site is necessary. Otherwise, the operation is threatened with failure - this happened more than once during the Great Patriotic War, when poorly prepared landing operations cost the lives of thousands of paratroopers.
In 1994, on the basis of two separate special forces battalions of the Airborne Forces, 901st and 218th, the 45th separate regiment of special forces of the Airborne Forces was formed. A few words should be said about the units that became part of the regiment.
The 218th battalion was formed in 1992, and before joining the special forces regiment of the Airborne Forces, he managed to take part in several peacekeeping missions: in Abkhazia, Ossetia and Transnistria.
The history of the 901st battalion is much longer and richer. It was formed in 1979 in the Transcaucasian Military District as a separate air assault battalion, then was transferred to Europe, to the site of the proposed theater of operations. In the late 80s, the Baltic States became the location of the unit. In 1992, the 901st battalion was renamed into a separate airborne assault battalion and transferred to the command of the Airborne Forces headquarters.
In 1993, during the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict, the 901st battalion was on the territory of Abkhazia, after which it was transferred to the Moscow region. In 1994, the unit became a separate special forces battalion and became part of the 45th Special Forces Regiment.
The servicemen of the regiment took part in both Chechen campaigns, in the operation to force Georgia to peace in 2008. In 2005, the 45th Special Forces Regiment received the honorary title "Guards", the unit was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky. In 2009, he was awarded the St. George banner.
In 2014, on the basis of the 45th separate regiment, a special forces brigade of the Airborne Forces was formed.
More than 40 military personnel from the unit were killed in various conflicts. Many soldiers and officers of the regiment were awarded orders and medals.
Why do we need special forces of the Airborne Forces
The functions of the special forces of the Airborne Forces are very similar to those performed by their counterparts from the units of the Main Intelligence Directorate. However, there are still differences. And they are associated with specific tasks that the Airborne Forces must solve.
Of course, the special forces of the Airborne Forces can conduct sabotage and reconnaissance operations behind enemy lines, but first of all, they must prepare the possibility of landing for the main units of the Airborne Forces. The concept of "prepare" in this case is interpreted very broadly. First of all, we are talking about reconnaissance of the landing area: the leadership must have maximum information about where the paratroopers will land and what awaits them there.
In addition, scouts, if necessary, prepare a platform for landing. This may be the capture of an enemy airfield or a small foothold. If necessary, sabotage is carried out in the area, infrastructure facilities are destroyed, communications are disrupted, chaos and panic are created. The special forces of the Airborne Forces can also carry out operations to capture and short-term hold important objects behind enemy lines. Most often, such work is carried out during offensive operations.
It should be noted one more difference between the special forces of the GRU and the Airborne Forces. The units of the Main Intelligence Directorate can operate anywhere in the world (it's not for nothing that they have a globe on their emblem). The special forces of the Airborne Forces usually operate closer, within the range of the airborne transport aircraft, usually no further than two thousand kilometers.
The special forces of the Airborne Forces are rightfully considered the elite of the Russian army. Therefore, the requirements for the training and equipment of fighters are very strict. Not everyone is able to pass the selection and become a fighter of this unit. A special forces fighter of the Airborne Forces must be distinguished by stress resistance, endurance, and be proficient in all types of weapons. Special forces have to operate deep behind enemy lines, without any support "from the mainland", carrying tens of kilograms of weapons, ammunition and equipment.
The fighters of the unit are equipped with the best types of weapons, ammunition, equipment of Russian and foreign production. They do not spare money for special forces. It should be noted that any special forces (Russian or American) are a very expensive "pleasure". The Vintorez sniper rifle, Kalashnikov assault rifles of the 100th series, domestic-made large-caliber rifles - this is far from a complete list of small arms used by scouts.

DEEP INTELLIGENCE (REVOCATIONAL AND amphibious companies)
Back in the mid-70s, reconnaissance and airborne companies were created in separate reconnaissance battalions of motorized rifle and tank divisions, which in the first years of their existence were called "deep reconnaissance companies." Since they were usually third in line in the battalions, they were unofficially called simply “third companies”, and those who were aware knew what they were talking about. The servicemen of these reconnaissance and airborne companies wore the uniform of their divisions, but they were given a jump uniform for jumping. Often in these companies, fighters and commanders wore blue berets. These companies did not have their own numbers, since they were not separate units.
Being abandoned behind enemy lines in the offensive zone of their division, these companies, as part of their activities in the front line, in fact, performed tasks similar to those assigned to special intelligence. On their own, the reconnaissance groups of the "third companies" behind enemy lines could organize the destruction of almost any rear object that they encountered on the way, and in any case they had to destroy the enemy's nuclear weapons.
The training of personnel for these companies was mainly carried out by the 597th separate reconnaissance battalion, located in the n. Sandy, in the Leningrad Military District. There were also several more training battalions scattered throughout the vast country.
I will try to list these reconnaissance and airborne companies as of the mid-80s, when Soviet military power was at its peak.

It is clear that this list is completely incomplete (and requires clarification), but even the listed companies are an impressive force. The vast majority of these companies existed in a cropped or collapsed state, but those in which there were personnel underwent full airborne training.
Usually, scouts went to the airborne troops or GRU special forces to jump. Most of the "live" reconnaissance and landing companies in the second half of the 80s wore the uniform and symbols of the Airborne Forces.
