Today in Russia there are more than 581 thousand veterans who served in the internal troops and internal affairs bodies, who are members of 4,500 veteran organizations of the department.
14 years ago (2005) a referendum was held to unite the Krasnoyarsk Territory with the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenetsky) and Evenk Autonomous Okrugs.
In 2004, the authorities of the region and both autonomous regions addressed the President of the Russian Federation with the initiative to unite the three regions.
On April 17, 2005, the question was submitted to the plebiscite: “Do you agree that the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenetsky) and Evenk Autonomous Okrugs united into a new subject of the Federation - the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which includes the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenetsky) and Evenk Autonomous districts will be administrative-territorial units with a special status determined by the Charter of the region in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation?

A new subject of the Russian Federation - the united Krasnoyarsk Territory - appeared on the map of our country on January 1, 2007.
32 years ago (1986) the resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU "On the main directions of accelerating the solution of the housing problem in the country" was adopted.
According to the document, each Soviet family was to have a separate apartment or house by the year 2000.
According to the calculations of the Gosstroy of the USSR, in order to fulfill these plans, it was necessary to build 22.5 square meters for each person. m. of housing. For comparison, in 1986, one Soviet citizen accounted for 14.6 square meters. meters. To fill the existing gap, it was necessary to build more than 2 billion square meters in 15 years. meters of housing.
From 1986 to 1990, 650 million square meters were built in the USSR. meters. The average provision of housing increased to 16.5 square meters. meters per person. However, with the collapse of the USSR, the pace of construction dropped sharply.
50 years ago (1968) the TV program "In the Animal World" first aired.
106 years ago (1912) tragic events took place at the Lena gold mines (“the Lena execution”).
The workers who worked at the mines of the Lena gold mining partnership "Lenzoloto", located in the area of the city of Bodaibo, Irkutsk province, called their life "free hard labor". Their working day lasted 10-12 hours, and they often had to work knee-deep in icy water. Part of the salary was given out in the form of coupons that could be sold in the company's shops where low-quality goods were sold. The immediate reason for the strike was the distribution of rotten meat (according to another version, horse meat was sold under the guise of beef).
The strike began at one of the Lenzolota mines at the end of February 1912, and other mines joined in March. The protesters demanded a reduction in the working day, an increase in wages, the abolition of fines and the replacement of coupons when paying for money. Lenzoloto's management refused to comply with these demands, but promised not to fire anyone if the strike was interrupted.
On April 16, 1912, the main leaders of the strikers were arrested. The next day, more than three thousand workers moved to the Nadezhdinsky mine in order to submit “conscious notes” to the prosecutor, as well as to secure the release of those arrested and take the calculation. The procession was peaceful, but government troops opened fire on the protesters.
There is no official data on the number of victims of the Lena massacre. Various sources indicate that 83 to 270 people died and 100 to 250 were injured.
194 years ago (1824) in St. Petersburg, the first Russian-American treaty was signed - "The Convention concluded in St. Petersburg between the All-Russian Emperor and the government of the United States of America on the unshakable preservation of the friendly ties between them."
By the beginning of the 19th century, there were a number of Russian settlements in North America - in Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, the Alexander Archipelago and on the Pacific coast. In 1799, for the development of Russian lands in America and on the adjacent islands, the Russian-American Company was formed by decree of Emperor Paul I. In 1809 official diplomatic relations were established between Russia and the United States.
The first Russian-American treaty was signed by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Count Karl Nesselrode, and US envoy Henry Middleton. The document established the border between Russia and the United States, which ran along the parallel of 54 ° 40 "northern latitude. The Russians pledged not to settle south, and the Americans - north of this line. And fishing and swimming along the coast of Alaska were declared open to both powers within 10 years.
143 years ago (1875) the billiard game "snooker" appeared.
It is believed that this complicated version of the game of billiards was invented by the colonel of the British colonial troops in Jabalpur (India) Neville Chamberlain. Victory in snooker is brought not so much by the skill of holding a cue, but by the strategy and tactics of manipulating multi-colored and, accordingly, "different-pointed" balls.
The new game quickly gained popularity among "Indian Britons". Ten years later, she reached Britain. At the beginning of the 20th century, regular British championships began to be held. And in 1927 the first world championship among professionals was held.
In 971, the Byzantine emperor John Tzimiskes attacked the city of Dorostol (now Silistra) on the Danube. The Russian prince Svyatoslav, who conquered Eastern Bulgaria and intended to move his capital here from Kyiv, was based in Dorostol. The Byzantines themselves called the Russians to help them defend themselves from the Bulgarians and Hungarians.
But Svyatoslav liked the fertile southern lands, he saw fellow Slavs in the Bulgarians and did not show hostility towards them; the Bulgarians also had nothing against the fact that a great commander, close to them by blood, became their sovereign. Then Svyatoslav decided to leave Kyiv to his sons and establish himself on the Danube. To some extent, the appearance of Svyatoslav in Bulgaria can be likened to Rurik's calling to Novgorod. At the head of the Russian-Bulgarian army, Svyatoslav began to attack the original Greek regions and came closer and closer to the capital of the Byzantine Empire - Constantinople. Then the Byzantines decided to oust the Russians from Bulgaria.
The fighting at Dorostol continued until 27 July. Almost all Russian soldiers (about 15 thousand people) died defending Dorostol, but Emperor John Tzimiskes was the first to ask for peace. The reason was not military, but political - a conspiracy was ripening against him in the palace, it was necessary to urgently return to Constantinople. The peace was signed on honorable terms for the Russians. With the remnants of the army and rich booty, Svyatoslav went to Kyiv.
However, the Byzantines contacted the Pechenegs, who lived on the Lower Dnieper, and informed them in detail about the time of Svyatoslav's passage along the Dnieper, they also told that he was carrying great wealth, which he received as compensation from Dorostol. The Pechenegs organized an ambush in advance and killed Svyatoslav. Thus, through the hands of savages, the insidious Byzantines got rid of a dangerous rival to their dominion in the Black Sea region.
In 1446, the Kazan Tatars attacked the city of Ustyug. The assault failed. But they were paid off with money and "junk" (that is, furs). After that, the Tatar detachment, having described the arc, returned to Kazan; True, out of 700 people, only 40 survived - many drowned in the Volga during the flood.
This raid is remarkable in that it was a clear reaction to events within the Russian state. Grand Duke Vasily II of Moscow was deposed by his rival relative Dmitry Shemyaka and blinded; hence the nickname Vasily the Dark (that is, not seeing the light). Vasily tried not to aggravate relations with his eastern neighbors, who had their own problems (the year before, the Kazan Khanate had separated from the Horde and became independent). Vasily gave inheritances to the Tatar princes within his country.
The Grand Duke wisely strove for mutual infiltration, but his political opponent and enemy Dmitry Shemyaka blamed Vasily for this, demagogically accusing him of his intention to "give Russia to the Tatars." In addition, according to the concepts of that era in Russia, the sovereign who had a label from the Horde to reign was considered legitimate. With the Ustyug raid, the Kazanians made it clear which side they were on in the Moscow struggle for power.
In 1736, the 53-year-old Count Pavel Yaguzhinsky, the cabinet minister and one of the most prominent associates of Peter I, died. Moscow.
At the age of 18, Yaguzhinsky joined the guards and, thanks to his intelligence and abilities, he soon entered the inner circle of Peter I. He successfully completed the diplomatic missions of the tsar at the Åland Congress and at the Vienna court, for which in 1722 he received the post of Prosecutor General of the Senate - from now on he obeyed only emperor.
The prosecutor general kept order in the country and was called the "eye of the sovereign." Yaguzhinsky meticulously delved into the most diverse cases and found abuses and slovenliness everywhere. Fearing revelations, Menshikov sent him an expensive overseas wonder - oranges - as a gift. But Yaguzhinsky still did not like Menshikov. After the death of Peter the Great, Pavel Ivanovich was able to stay close to the throne, but lost his position as a prosecutor. In April 1725, he made a public scandal in the Peter and Paul Cathedral: in a strong drunkenness, he complained to Peter's coffin about his oppressor Menshikov.
Invited to the Russian throne, Anna Ioannovna Yaguzhinsky secretly warned that the higher nobility wanted to limit autocratic power, and advised her not to accept these conditions. The grateful empress later made him ambassador to Prussia and then cabinet minister.
After fifty, Yaguzhinsky looked like a deep old man: even against the backdrop of rampant Peter's mores, his addiction to alcohol was excessive, which led Pavel Ivanovich to an early death.
In 1925, Mikhail Prishvin made the following entry in his diary: “Many Russian people feel disgust at the very word“ state ”and this is only because they have not learned to look at it coldly, like a machine that is absolutely necessary for life.”
And here is another entry - also dated April 17, but only already in 1940. On this day, the Russian philosopher Georgy Fedotov wrote an article in exile called “Latecomers”: “... The nationalism of Stalin’s Russia,” it said, “through the heads of three generations of intelligentsia, directly returns to the official ideology of Nicholas I. New Kukolnikov, Zagoskins, Pogodins and Shevyrevs educate people's soul. Gogol and Lermontov have no place here. I would like to have my own conservative Pushkin, but the earth will not give birth to a poet, the bowels of which are depleted by cultural vulgarity.
In 1939, the Soviet Union sent France (and the next day England) a proposal to conclude a treaty between the three powers on mutual assistance against aggression.
The USSR proposed to include military assistance among the forms of assistance. The British and French, who had recently signed the Munich Treaty with Hitler's Germany, adopted the tactic of delaying negotiations with the USSR and emasculating specific Soviet proposals. Years later, the assessment given to this tactic by US President Frank Roosevelt became known. He said that the British acted as if it were not about a major international treaty, but about buying an oriental carpet in the market: they find fault with every little thing and add a penny in half an hour.
Very slowly, responses to Soviet proposals came to Moscow; the Anglo-French delegation that arrived in the Soviet capital consisted of minor officials and had no authority. In the end, at the end of August, the USSR broke off negotiations with this decorative delegation and concluded a non-aggression pact with Germany.
In 1940, Valery Rubinchik, a film director, was born in Minsk, who is characterized by a careful and at the same time modern reading of the classics.
In 1959-1961, Rubinchik studied at the Belarusian Theater and Art Institute, and in 1967 he graduated from the directing department of VGIK. His graduation work was the film "Sixth Summer". Since 1969, Valery Davidovich worked at the film studio "Belarusfilm", where in 1971 he staged the film "The Grave of a Lion" based on the works of Yanka Kupala. Then the director screened the literary works of Anatoly Rybakov - "The Last Summer of Childhood", Ivan Turgenev - "Hamlet of the Shchigrovsky District", Vladimir Korotkevich - "King Stakh's Wild Hunt". His films The Comic Lover, or Sir John Falstaff's Amorous Ideas, The Comedy of Lysistratus, and Loveless also enjoyed spectator interest.
