Tomsk news June, 2023

Due to wildfires in Canada, New York was covered in smog.

It's cloudy here, but it only seems so. In fact, there is also a slight smog and a faint smell of smoke in the air.

Tomsk is also an apocalypse: 90°F. And this is in early June! And even after the Bird-cherry blossoms. You probably don't know, but there are several superstitions related to the weather. They probably vary depending on the locality/region. But after the Bird- cherry blossoms in Tomsk it gets colder. The cherry blossoms have faded, but instead of cold , the region got a heat wave. Probably, because of global warming, national signs no longer work.

The fires did not bypass Tomsk.

The press service of the city administration reports that the number of forest fires in the Tomsk region has increased to 41. 525 people and 66 pieces of equipment are involved in extinguishing.

An AN-26 "Cyclone" sounding plane arrived from Irkutsk to create artificial precipitation. Rain is caused by silver iodide. When the pilot reaches the required height, he fires the substance to condense moisture.

The press service reports that it was possible to cause 9 artificial rains.

Not only the forest is burning.

On June 9, in Ufa (Bashkiria), fuel and lubricants caught on fire in one of the warehouse buildings (fuel and lubricants warehouse) on the tracks adjacent to the Ufa railway station. The Administration of Russian Railways reports that the fire did not affect the movement of trains.

…Well, even if it would have affected.

Moscow's Ria Novosti reports on the development of an additional air corridor for civilian aircraft, which will reduce the flight time to the south.

The southern direction means such cities as Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Makhachkala, Sochi, Stavropol. While airports in the cities of Anapa, Lipetsk, Simferopol, Gelendzhik, Voronezh, Elista, Rostov-on-Don, Kursk, Krasnodar, Belgorod and Bryansk closed “temporarily” - from February 24, 2022.

The state takes care of its citizens so that they can spend their vacations efficiently.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, joked in her Telegram channel about a bear walking through the streets of Washington DC. She called this bear a Russian spy who “tried to interfere in the elections"

And in what place to laugh?

Four days and Three nights of Vacation in Vermont

I love going on vacation, but I love coming back even more. I'll tell you about the most remarkable activities for me. I will try briefly… We spent one night out of 3 in a tent. (We actually planned to have 2 nights in a tent, but the weather decided for us). We visited Sugarbush Farm and Billings Farm & Museum, stopped at a store selling sheds and cottages, looked at the cider production process (Woods cider Mill), met with a representative of the company that will drill a well on our site, and asked questions to city officials. And, of course, we admired the beauty of the season. It’s a pity that we couldn’t stop on the highway for photography. At this time of the year, tourists travel to Vermont and New Hampshire specifically to admire the foliage. Daniel heard about the town of Woodstock even before the vacation. Therefore, we began to look for sights that can be seen there. As the first attraction, Google gave us The Sugarbush Farm. Google says: “ Rural...

Old New Year

Do you know what day is today (Jan 13)? Russians celebrate the Old New Year on the night of January 13-14. How did it happen that Russians celebrate the New Year twice? Simply by adopting a different calendar. Of course, it was not really simple, but after the October Revolution (1917), the Bolsheviks switched from the Julian calendar to Gregorian one. Because of this, all the dates moved 13 days ahead. The year 1919 began on January 1st but in accordance with the new Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar was 2 weeks behind the Gregorian one, as a result of which the celebration of the new year was postponed from January 14th to January 1st. The Old New year isn't an official holiday. There are definitely no people who would remember the old calendar. Russians, by definition, like to celebrate holidays. The more reasons to celebrate, the better. The Old New Year is usually less festive. There may be no more gifts under the tree. Many Russians will wait until t...

The 36-hour Day

October 20, 2013. I was flying to America towards my unknown future. The unknown future did not frighten me absolutely. On the contrary, it was incredibly intriguing: how will my life turn out, where will I work, with whom will I make friends? I didn’t have questions like “Will I be able to get accustomed?”. The question was: “When?”. Like many Russian women I’m hardy, determined, and purposeful. The main thing was not to get lost on the way. The trip was long and inconvenient. I wasn’t worried about geography, I just picked the cheapest tickets. I flew from Tomsk to Moscow, then to Los Angeles and then to Boston. I have never in my life traveled abroad. I was very nervous about the long trip. I was not afraid to fly. But all these security, take your belt and shoes off, cell phone out of pockets, endless lines, navigating in big airports. Leaving Tomsk was easy from that point of view. I will not touch emotions though. Moscow At the Moscow ai...
