For the first time this date was solemnly celebrated in the USSR in 1925, and since 1945 the festival is celebrated annually. * Problem. Mail of Russia and written correspondence. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- According to many DX-listeners, in Russia the delivery of letters and QSL-cards from foreign radio stations has sharply decreased this year. In addition, it is impossible to make a claim. Mail in Russia is not responsible for simple correspondence. Only registered letters can be tracked. Now every letter or QSL card is a holiday. If this trend continues, then the number of radio amateurs in Russia, which, listen to foreign stations will be reduced. But, as they say, hope dies last. (Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, Russia) - Letters, parcels and postcards from abroad will first be sent to Yakutia. As it became known to Kommersant, FSUE Russian Post from January 1, 2017 takes extraordinary measures to regulate the flow of simple small packages - these are often used to deliver purchases from foreign online stores ... The Post of Russia informed postal administrations of the member countries of the Universal Postal Union that from January 1, 2017 incoming written correspondence should be delivered to the International Postal Exchange (MMPO) in Mirny. This is due to the "optimization of the logistics network," said in a letter dated December 5 from Deputy Director General of FSUE Russian Post Sergey Malyshev (a copy is from Kommersant). Under the definition of incoming mail correspondence, which is mentioned in the letter, all letters and postcards from abroad, as well as customized and simple small packages weighing up to 2 kg, were explained to "Kommersant" by an interlocutor familiar with the situation. According to the press service of the Russian Post, "MMPO in Mirny serves as an alternative entry point for unregistered mail from foreign postal administrations that do not wish to act in accordance with the procedures approved by the Post of Russia." The innovations will not affect EMS express parcels, parcel post, and delivery between the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community, specified in FSUE ... This, in particular, will allow "to deal with opaque mail flows coming to Russia from Southeast Asia not directly, But through a number of countries in Europe and the CIS "... What are the tariffs for unregistered small packages after processing in Mirny, on the "Post of Russia" they do not say: it will be discussed with foreign postal administrations ... The postal administration of the sender has a duty to deliver to MMPO, after that, Russian Post's planes will export international mail from Mirny, the source of Kommersant, who is familiar with the activities of Post of Russia, supposes. Hypothetically, postal companies can work through Mirny, but in fact it is a prohibitive action aimed at limiting parcelling traffic from China, he believes. "This is an attempt to raise prices for international incoming correspondence with investments," the source of Kommersant believes ... (Http://avmalgin.livejournal.com/6658650.html) + Photo.

On Monday, May 1, in Perm, on the wave of 98.9 FM, the radio station Serebryany dozhd began to broadcast again. As reported by Kommersant, the broadcast of Serebryany dozhd was resumed due to clearly defined license requirements, which can be withdrawn if the broadcast is interrupted for more than three months. The information and entertainment radio station Serebryany dozhd was first aired in July 1995, and in Perm it was sounded in May 2010. Broadcasting in the regional capital was interrupted on October 31, 2016 due to the arrears owed to the communications operator - through the fault of the regional partner of Serebryany dozhd - Perm LLC, which did not fulfill its obligations. For the last six months, the management of the Serebryany dozhd has been looking for a new regional partner in Perm, but there is no exact agreement with anyone yet. On February 1, the broadcasting of the radio station in the regional capital was resumed, but only for one day - to preserve the license. This time the Moscow radio station returned to Perm air for a longer period. 59i.ru (Http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__65477/) Republic of Crimea. ------------------------- In Sevastopol, there was a "transfer" of the radio station "Sputnik in the Crimea" to a new frequency - 105.6 MHz.

This was reported to the correspondent of vtomske.ru by the chairman of the trade union committee of the University Renat Galin. He clarified that on May 7, a mass ejection of equipment could be seen at 7:30 pm near the hostel of TUSUR radio students at Lytkin. "The place will remain the same, the hostel on Lytkin, 8. We plan to throw out more than one hundred units of equipment that can not be repaired, we will not go to record this year, we just want to arrange a spectacular release," Galin said. The chairman of the trade union committee added that students are still waiting for a response from the Guinness Book Committee on the application they sent last year. "We are still waiting for a response from the Guinness Book Committee of Records. The representative of the committee could not appear for the release last year, nevertheless to come to Tomsk - this is quite expensive. We have sent the entire package of documents that meet the requirements, with media, and now we are waiting. Prior to us, no one tried to deliver a similar record, there is a chance to become the first, "- explained our interlocutor. Recall, May 7 in Russia is celebrated Radio Day. Every year, beginning in 1986, on May 7, TUSUR radio students went out onto the streets of the city with a festive procession. Since 2001, the celebration of Radio Day has been given the status of a city event. In 2016, by the Day of Radio students decided to set a world record for the ejection of equipment from windows. For the record, Tomsk needed at least 500 units of various equipment. However, as a result, this plan was overfulfilled, and about 700 units of old equipment were thrown out of the windows of the TUSUR hostel on Lytkin.

Ekaterinburg. ------------------------------------------------- - Radio Day: UrFU for the first time in 20 years abolished the traditional procession of students of the radio faculty In Ekaterinburg this year, there will be no traditional march of radiofaculty students on Radio Day on May 7. This tradition was born in 1995, but for the first time it will be broken. "The university will not be able to meet the security requirements that have grown in connection with the terrorist threat," Dmitriy Benemansky, UrFU press secretary, told E1.RU. - It is necessary, for example, to block the street with buses, which is very expensive. We understand why the demands have become tougher, in the light of recent events this is quite true, but it is not possible to fulfill them for the sake of one institution. The rest of the holiday program remained unchanged. Students will meet with veterans, hold a rally at the monument to Popov and hold a festive concert. By a long tradition, radio operators will wash the monument to Popov. At 8 am on May 7, students of the Institute of Radio Electronics and Information Technology will gather with buckets and rags at the monument to the inventor of the radio. And this year the Ural students will be joined by colleagues from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm, the press service of the university reports. They will also clean the monuments of Popov in their cities. E1.ru (Http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__65478/) - Procession of the radio faculty UrFU on May 7 will still take place - its participants will not proceed along the roadway of Lenin Avenue, as it was before, but along the sidewalks. Such an action on Radio Day was agreed upon, the Uralinformbureau reported to the Press Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Yekaterinburg. "We will not disperse anybody, of course, police officers will ensure the safety of the convoy," the agency explained. Traditionally, the entire Prospekt Lenina was occupied by students of the Institute of Radioelectronics and Information Technologies of the UrFU, for reasons of economy. According to the security rules, the organizers had to block off the intersected streets by buses, but there was no money for their rent from the university. The remaining components of the holiday remained unchanged: in the square of Alexander Popov a meeting will be held, and students will traditionally wash the monument to Popov.
