This status was awarded to the city by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs following the results of the "Time for the Young" award.

Maybe we should do a thorough analysis of what's happening, maybe there are other processes going on that need to be corrected with the participation of law enforcement agencies or others. Well, it's impossible: the financial hole in the Post Office is growing and It's growing and no one is reacting," the politician said. According to her, it is necessary to develop a "correct financial model of existence." At the same time, the government should take measures "without delay," otherwise "the financial hole will turn into a huge pit where everything will fall," Matvienko added. Rambler reports this.

And again about AM radio broadcasting (MW band). --------------------------------------------- During the "cultural" reforms in the former post-Soviet space, literally almost all major radio centers of the former USSR were destroyed and sawed up. Motive? - Very expensive maintenance and, as usual - "We don't need this..." They say, now the world of digital technologies, everything is on the Internet, and there is also a local VHF FM band... with a coverage of at most 70 km. They said that this is enough, plus 2-3 TV channels of federal television. There were smart people who were in favor of the "quality" of broadcasting, they say, the FM range is a better sound. Others echo that the population no longer has any AM radios left, only FM. And in general, this is yesterday, they say there is no need to stir up the "killed mammoth". From the 90s to the early 2000s, I believe a crime was committed! The powerful AM broadcasting network, which was inherited from the USSR, was destroyed. Everything was ready, there was no need to build anything, just preserve it, and somewhere to update something and nothing more.

STORY. ======================== * Russia and USSR ----------------------- - Portable all-wave AM/FM radio receivers "Russia-306" and "Dombay-306" have been produced since 1980 and 1982, respectively, by the Chelyabinsk PA "Polyot" and the Cherkessian radio plant "Polyot". The Rossiya-306 radio receiver differs from those produced earlier by the presence of a VHF-FM range and a modern element base using integrated circuits. The radio receiver is designed for reception in the LW, MW, SW-1 and SW-2 and VHF bands. In the VHF range there is an AFC. The radio receiver is distinguished by increased output power and the ability, in addition to standard batteries (6 elements of type 373), to be powered from an alternating current network, with a voltage of 127 or 220 V through a built-in power supply Details in Russian + photo: http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/index1/radiopriem/rp_pp/rp_pp1/dombay306.html (http://www.rw6ase.narod.ru/) - The portable transistor radio receiver "Dorozhny" was experimentally produced by the Moscow plant "Red October" from the fourth quarter of 1956. The "Dorozhny" radio receiver was developed at the Irpa in 1955. It is assembled using a superheterodyne circuit with eight transistors and operates in the range of long (LW) - 750...2000 meters and medium (SW) -185...550 meters. Reception of radio stations in stationary conditions is carried out on an external antenna, in portable mode on a small section (1.5...2.5 m) of wire.

July 2023. https://vk.com/public158109176?w=wall-158109176_3397 (https://vk.com/public158109176) - The issue of shutting down Russian TV channels is being discussed in Armenia, MP from the Civil Contract faction Lusine Badalyan said in an interview with Factor.am. At the same time, turning off TV channels, according to her, "will not be a big salvation," since "there is also the Internet." The deputy from the ruling party believes that "some steps will be taken." Badalyan recalled that the issue of turning off Russian TV channels has been discussed for a long time. And if the decision is made, the relevant departments will make corresponding statements. Now in Armenia, "Channel One", "RTR Planeta", "Russia. Culture", as well as the interstate TV channel "Mir" are broadcast through a public multiplex.

It seems that the Belarusian state television and radio company was concerned about giving its response to the Polish state television channel Belsat TV and began promoting its broadcasting in Polish, addressed to citizens of the neighboring state. So, from September 6th, a new channel appeared on Telegram called Międzynarodowe radio Białoruś, which is published in Polish. In parallel, accounts with the same name appeared on YouTube and TikTok. At the beginning of September, the Belarus 24 TV channel disseminated the following information: The whole truth about Belarus, which the Polish authorities hide from their citizens, is now in the native language of our neighbors The telegram channel Międzynarodowe radio Białoruś (https://t.me/radiobialorus) talks about how Belarus and Belarusians actually live. Only here is up-to-date and timely information about the domestic and foreign policies of our country, socio-economic and cultural development, achievements in science and sports. This will never be talked about in the Polish media, which are strenuously creating the image of an enemy from Belarus. Share this link (https://t.me/radiobialorus) with your Polish friends and acquaintances! It is important that as many Poles as possible know: Belarus is a peace-loving and hospitable neighbor who has always strived for kind and mutually respectful relations. The Międzynarodowe radio Białoruś channel on YouTube reports that the radio station is broadcasting on the borders with Poland in the cities of Grodno (95.7 FM), Svisloch (104.4 FM) and Brest (106.2 FM).

The theme music from the "Mission Impossible" franchise was used as background music. At a time when there was no Internet at home, writing down quickly readable schedules was sometimes truly a "mission impossible"... Then DX MIX was truly a treasure trove of information. In recent years, the show has concluded with a Stars on 45 medley. https://bnr.bg/ru/search?q=DX+MIX (AM / Radio reception - Telegram) * History of Radio Liberty* - "Jammers". ------------------------ Video in Russian - 4:22 https://vk.com/radioreceiver?w=wall-163779953_78691 https://vk.com/radioreceiver?z=video-163779953_456244917%2F964ff4e0432a34712d%2Fpl_wall_-163779953 (https://vk.com/radioreceiver) - Radio Liberty* = included in the register of foreign agents of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. * Latvia. ----------- The Latvian Seimas by a majority vote supported the National Security Concept, which implies a ban on public media broadcasting in Russian. This was reported on the parliament website. According to the document, Latvian Television and Latvian Radio are prohibited from broadcasting in Russian from January 1, 2026. The concept was supported by the factions "New Unity", "Joint List", "Progressive", "Union of Greens and Peasants", "National Association", as well as non-factional deputies Oleg Burov and Igor Raev - a total of 68 votes. 10 parliamentarians spoke out against it, all from the Stability party. Non-factional Gloria Grevtsova and 7 Latvia First deputies did not vote. Let us recall that the day before the Council for Public Electronic Media (SEPLP) called on the Seimas to abandon the plan to ban the work of public media in the Russian language in the republic from January 1, 2026. rubaltic.ru (https://tele-satinfo.ru/index.php?id=17701) * Finland "punished" Xiaomi for refusing to leave Russia. -------------------------------------- Three Finnish telecom operators have stopped selling Xiaomi smartphones. The boycott turned out to be a kind of "punishment" of the Chinese vendor for the fact that it did not leave Russia, but continued to actively sell millions of smartphones on the Russian market. Now Xiaomi is the leader in the Russian Federation, controlling almost a third of the market. According to TelecomDaily, this is the first known case of a boycott of any technology company for non-participation in the "Isolation of Russia" game. Experts consider this a "game" for the reason that any kind of gadgets are still imported into the country through parallel imports. Even the launch of sales of the iPhone 15 in the Russian Federation took place a day earlier than throughout the world - unheard of insolence and public humiliation for Apple as a symbol of the entire Western world. Xiaomi will most likely not pay any attention to the behavior of Finnish operators. The fact is that they do not control the entire Finnish market - and independent retailers have not boycotted anyone. And even if they boycotted, Xiaomi's share in the Finnish smartphone market is 8.35%, and the market size itself is about 2 million units. Thus, Xiaomi sells only 167 thousand smartphones per year in Finland.
