April 28 holidays and events. Church holiday according to the folk calendar
The International Labor Organization (ILO) has designated 28 April as World Day for Safety and Health at Work to draw global attention to the scale of the problem and how creating and promoting a culture of safety and health at work can help reduce annual workplace deaths. It was first celebrated in 2003.
The idea of World Safety and Health Day at Work originates from Remembrance Day, first observed by American and Canadian workers in 1989 to honor workers killed and injured on the job.
On this day, events are held in more than a hundred countries around the world aimed at attracting public attention to unresolved labor safety issues.
As noted by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, in recent years “these actions have attracted increasing interest and support from managers and employees of industrial enterprises and firms in Russia.”
According to ILO estimates:
Every day in the world, on average, about 5,000 people die as a result of accidents and diseases at work, reaching a total of 2 to 2.3 million cases of work-related mortality per year. Of this number, about 350,000 are fatal accidents and about 1.7-2 million are deaths caused by work-related illnesses.
In addition, workers suffer approximately 270 million work-related accidents each year that result in absences of more than 3 days from work and approximately 160 million non-fatal illnesses.

The last time the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union was awarded: it was awarded to Dmitry Yazov, who a year later participated in the State Emergency Committee
On Mondays it’s close to 12:00, and Gennady Kernes Kharkov takes a sharp swing.
The press service of the Kharkiv City Center reports this.
“The Kharkiv gentleman has removed his head from a fire wound in the back. The infection occurs with medical assistance on the operating table. Doctors are fighting for his life,” the message says.
At night, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler secretly ate chocolate chip cookies and scones and cream, The Daily Mail writes. This statement was made by the Fuhrer's former maid Elisabeth Kalhammer, who worked at the Berghof residence. It is noted that 89-year-old Kalhammer shared her memories of Hitler for the first time in 71 years.
The Nazi leader's closest aides believed that Hitler was on a strict diet. However, according to Kalhammer, at night the Fuhrer “raided” the kitchen. Staff were required to prepare the so-called Führer Pie - apple pie with nuts and raisins - daily and save it for Hitler's nightly "raids", the article says.
Kalhammer got a job at the Berghof residence in 1943 after answering an advertisement in a local newspaper. Initially, she did not know that her employer would be Hitler. The maid worked for the Fuhrer almost until the end of World War II.
They really do, but the “people’s mayor” is big news for them. They didn’t know, they didn’t vote. We found out through the media. It turns out that Ponomarev conducted the election campaign exclusively in a “friendly environment.” And now I decided to legalize the status. Therefore, during the press conference, he proudly demonstrates the statement of the mayor of Slavyansk Nelya Shtepa, written “of his own free will.”
“We made her an offer that she couldn’t refuse,” she reports joyfully.
After the press conference, I persuaded her to take a tour of the building. Ponomarev was extremely kind until we met Shtyopa, escorted by machine gunners—being taken to the toilet.
— I didn’t write a statement. They arrested me! - he screams, breaking free.
“Screaming, breaking out” - I type a text message to the editor. The “people’s mayor” immediately flies up and snatches the phone. Reads SMS.
- Oh, you’re a Maidan creature! - yells in your face. - To arrest!
- Are you joking? — I smile... And then I understand that I’m not joking. The mayor has a glassy look and is almost foaming at the mouth. Perhaps such a transformation is the result of a shell shock. But the most interesting thing is that the “friends” obediently pointed their guns at me. They say: “You are under arrest.”
They are taken out of the building. People are staring everywhere. The machine guns were lowered. One of the Cossacks hugged him. Like, it's just a walk.
- Hands off! — I’m trying to break free.
- So this is it: either I break my arm now - and you lose consciousness from painful shock, or you move on in an amicable way! - hisses in the ear, smiling sweetly at the crowd.
The people on the benches smile back at us and wave.
Further along the course is the tiny Slavic Maidan. It doesn't look like Kiev - it's more like evening gatherings. Mothers with strollers, young people with a guitar. Everyone has tears in their eyes - they are so happy to see us. And I have no way to destroy this damn idyll.
It ended in the city police department.
- Take it! By order of the main headquarters! - they turn to the local convoy.
Mini-stores Metro Cash&Carry and X5 Retail Group, which includes Perekrestok and Metro, will appear in the central underground pedestrian crossings of the city, M24.ru reports with reference to the head of the Department of Trade and Services Alexey Nemeryuk.

Time will pass, and for a long time I will dream about the Kiev Maidan in the form of nightmares consisting of funeral wreaths, dried-out New Year trees, the smell of burning, barricades of withered carnations and students walking between canvas tents in costumes of stuffed animals, who brought their own madness into the atmosphere ridiculous note...
Having returned to Moscow and wondering who to run to first - to a psychologist or straight to a psychiatrist - I unexpectedly came across the text “Philosophy of the Maidan”, which was composed by the writer, philosopher and blogger Dmitry Galkovsky. And I realized that, in fact, there was no need to run anywhere else...
The prosecutor's office will check an Omsk company for placing images of WWII veterans on beer cans. RIA Novosti reports this.

The editors have obtained an audio recording of a telephone conversation between Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, in which she discusses the idea of a new PR campaign.
Tolokonnikova, who last winter founded the “Zone of Law” movement to protect the rights of prisoners, gives instructions to her interlocutor about a new action. The Pussy Riot singer dismisses the idea of an interview and insists there must be “action.”
- I don’t know, it’s incredibly boring, doing an interview on the couch... It’s f..... boring! Even if it’s Madonna... few people are interested in it. We need action,” explains Tolokonnikova.
“Yeah, that’s it, I understand,” her interlocutor answers Tolokonnikova.
- People are greedy, you know. I absolutely don’t care what’s going on in the colonies! They need to be shown some kind of hell, thrown right in their eyes...

The lead singer of the Lyapis Trubetskoy group, Sergei Mikhalok, did not insult the audience and did not make any Russophobic statements at the concert in Izhevsk on April 16. The team's press attache, Alexander Berger, told Slon about this.
In this way, he commented on the appeal to the prosecutor’s office by State Duma deputy from the LDPR Roman Khudyakov, who demanded that Mikhalko’s statements be checked and a ban on the performances of “Lyapis Trubetskoy” in Russia. The Izvestia newspaper wrote about Khudyakov’s appeal on the morning of April 28.
“Anyone who starts to look into it will become obvious that this case is a whitewash, and there is no subject for investigation. The prosecutor’s office can watch the recording of the performance in Izhevsk and make sure that Mikhalok did not say anything provocative from the stage,” Berger said.
A representative of “Lyapis Trubetskoy” also called “ridiculous” the fact that the reproach for using profanity against Mikhalok comes from a LDPR deputy, whose leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky has repeatedly used obscene language in public, and “there are enough similar recordings on YouTube.”
A forty-year-old man died on the morning of April 28 at the Vokzalnaya metro station from an injection with a syringe, the press service of the metro police told Vesti on Monday, April 28.
Passengers took him out onto the platform. “And then they saw that a syringe was inserted into his back. They are establishing who this person is. Now an investigative team is working on the spot,” said metro police press officer Natalya Kernetskaya.
The press service of the Kiev Metro Communist Party adds that someone stuck a syringe in the back of a passenger at the entrance to the Vokzalnaya metro station. The passenger lost consciousness and an ambulance was called, which went to the scene and pronounced the victim dead.
The police press service reported that the man is from Kiev. No obvious signs of violent death were found. But the syringe in the victim’s back raised many questions among law enforcement officers.

Alexander Kovtun, Vladimir Ilyutikov and Alexey Nikitin received life sentences. Roman Savchenko - 25 years old, Maxim Kirillov - 22 years old, Vadim Kovtun - 8 years and two months (this is the only point where the judge deviated from the term requested by the prosecutor - he asked to give V. Kovtun 15 years).
In the center, with a beard, is A. Kovtun, recognized (together with the deceased Andrei Sukhorada) as the founder of the gang.
- We found something to scare! - he answered reporters when asked how he took the news about the wad.
Europe excludes the possibility of introducing trade and economic sanctions against Russia in the current conditions. Only if Russian troops appear on the territory of eastern Ukraine or after receiving irrefutable information about this, will Europe think about economic restrictions. This was announced by a representative of the diplomatic mission of one of the leading Western European states. He noted that so far the accusations against Russia are groundless, ITAR-TASS reports.
The creator and until recently the general director of the most popular Russian social network VKontakte, after his high-profile dismissal, announced that he was abroad and did not intend to return to Russia. The founder of the social network keeps his future fate and place of residence secret, while at the same time conducting a survey on the pages of the main competitor of his creation, Facebook, about which country he should choose for his future life and work. If the former general director has not yet decided on his place of residence, then, as Izvestia found out, he has already acquired a convenient citizenship that allows him to travel around the world almost unhindered. Durov donated $250 thousand to one of the enterprises in St. Kitts and Nevis.
According to the legislation of the island state, a donation in this amount gives the right to automatic citizenship.
While filming for men's magazine Hustler, 33-year-old American millionaire Dan Bilzerain jokingly threw naked 19-year-old porn star Janice Griffith off a roof. The girl fell into the pool located on the territory of the mansion of a successful poker player and broke her leg, reports NY Daily News.
During filming for a popular men's magazine, which took place on his estate, a famous businessman approached a 19-year-old porn actress walking around the set, took her in his arms, and then...threw the girl off the roof. Judging by the footage published below, all this was initially perceived as a joke.
Janice Griffith obviously did not expect the owner of the villa to treat her so cruelly. Shocking footage shows how a millionaire throws a model into the pool from a decent height, and she screams in fear.
Member of the Federation Council Maxim Kavdzharadze proposes to create an intra-Russian communication network, closed from access from the EU countries and the USA. Such a system, he said, could be called “Cheburashka” and financed at the expense of the regions.
“We need to think about creating our own domestic Russian information system to get away from the US, otherwise information leaks will continue,” he said at a meeting of his constitutional law committee during a discussion of the law on the status of bloggers on Monday.
According to Kavjaradze, Russia could create such a network with the CSTO countries (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) or with the states of the Asia-Pacific region.
“We have the Prime Minister on Facebook and Twitter, and everyone has now started sitting on social networks and telling where they have been and where they are going. But someone is storing this information on servers,” the senator said.
According to Kavjaradze, the creation of such an autonomous network is a matter of information security for “the whole country, which is subject to information attacks, cyber attacks, as well as attempts to split society.” Funds for creating such a system, according to the senator, can be found in regional budgets.
“It doesn’t matter what we call this information system, “Crocodile Gena” or “Cheburashka”, the latter is even preferable, since no one has “Cheburashka”,” he said.
The updated “black list” of the US Treasury included, among others, Rosneft President Igor Sechin, First Deputy of the Russian Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Volodin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak, Head of the Rostec state corporation Sergei Chemezov and FSO Director Evgeny Murov. The list is published on the department's website.
Among the organizations included in the sanctions list are the Volga Group holding, which unites the assets of Gennady Timchenko, as well as Sobinbank, a subsidiary of Yuri Kovalchuk’s Rossiya Bank.
“I want to warn you right away that it was not our people who shot at Kernes!” So that later we won’t be accused of something,” Ponomarev said. – As for blocking the city, it has not yet been completed one hundred percent. The road to the east is still open. It is true that enemy forces are now concentrating there.
The people's mayor also spoke about the situation with detained NATO military personnel, one of whom was recently released due to a serious illness.
“We are not against exchanging them, the main thing is that the junta agrees.” We asked the OSCE members who are here to negotiate with the leadership and help us release, first of all, our comrades - Pavel Gubarev, my assistant captured by the security forces and other activists who were criminally kidnapped and held in the SBU detention center - Ponomarev said.
According to the people's mayor, detained OSCE members are kept in good conditions and are not considered prisoners at all.
- First of all, these are officers. I had a conversation with them, since I myself am a former military man. We agreed that we could be united by the code of honor of an officer,” said Vyacheslav Ponomarev. “I told them that I don’t consider them prisoners of war, they are my guests.” They also trust me completely. They have no problems with food and accommodation.
The situation with the detained Alpha officers, according to Ponomarev, is different. Counterintelligence officers work with them.
Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the regions of the Russian Federation should develop industrial-scale production of the best samples of national cuisine and that such products can compete with food from McDonald’s. “The question is how to establish industrial production that is better in quality than possible competitors, including McDonald’s, but cheaper in price,” Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Council of Legislators. As ITAR-TASS reports, in this way the president responded to the statement of the head of the parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Alexei Machnev, that “Ossetian pies are a strong competitor to McDonald’s products and Italian pizza.”
The Russian President said that he has tried Ossetian pies more than once. “And not only Ossetian pies: we have delicious, varied cuisine in the North Caucasus, in the Volga region, and “chak-chak” is yes, delicious. And not only: Tatar belyashi are delicious, you never know what’s good in Russian cuisine, and here are the “wickets” in Karelia,” the president said. “That’s not the question. The question is how to establish industrial production - better in quality than possible competitors, including McDonald's, but cheaper in price. Externally - homemade, but made on the principles of industrial production - this is what needs to be achieved. And today we can definitely do this,” said Vladimir Putin.
