Yekaterinburg, the capital of the Urals, marks its 300th anniversary
The city was founded on November 18, 1723, by decree of Emperor Peter the Great, but its ‘City Day’ is officially celebrated on the third Saturday of August (August 19 in 2023). The name of the city was given in honor of Empress Catherine I, wife of Peter the Great.
The history of Yekaterinburg began with an ironworks in the center of the city, which operated until 1808. And up until the end of the 19th century, among other things, most of the coins of the Russian Empire were minted in the city. A historical square with several museums now occupies the site of the old workshops.
In Soviet times, Yekaterinburg (which, from 1924-1991, was named Sverdlovsk, after the revolutionary Yakov Sverdlov) became a major industrial center. During the Great Patriotic War, the legendary T-34 tank was produced there and after the war, - quarry excavators and steam-hydraulic presses. Because of this, Yekaterinburg has also become a heavy engineering industry leader.
The architectural appearance of the city is mainly formed by buildings in the style of Soviet constructivism. And, in 1991, the only subway in the Urals was opened there. It connects the ‘Uralmash’ factory district with the historical center and the outskirts.

📃 Russian FM Sergey Lavrov’s article for South Africa’s Ubuntu Magazine (August 21, 2023)
BRICS: Towards a Just World Order
Key points:
💬 Tectonic shifts are taking place in the world today. <...> We are witnessing the emergence of a more just multipolar world order. New centers of economic growth & of global decision-making on important political issues in Eurasia, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa & Latin America are guided primarily by their own interests & assign paramount importance to national sovereignty.
🇷🇺 Russia continues to work towards further democratization of international life, building an architecture of inter-State relations that would be based on the values of equal & indivisible security, and cultural & civilisational diversity, and would provide equal opportunities for development for all members of the international community with no one left behind.
• Russia has consistently stood for strengthening the position of the African continent in a multipolar world order. We will further support our African friends in their aspirations to play an increasingly significant role in resolving the key problems of our time.
• #BRICS is a symbol of true multipolarity and an example of honest inter-State communication. Within its framework, States with different political systems, distinctive value platforms & independent foreign policies effectively cooperate in various spheres.
📈 The population of the BRICS countries is over 40 percent & the area of their territories exceeds a quarter of the world's land. According to experts' forecasts, in 2023 the five countries will account for about 31.5 percent of global GDP (at purchasing power parity), while the share of the G7 has fallen to 30 percent in this indicator.
• It is natural that our grouping has many like-minded countries around the world. BRICS is seen as a positive force that can strengthen the solidarity of the Global South & Global East & become one of the pillars of a new, more just polycentric world order.

एक बार फिर दिखा रूसी पत्रकारों के प्रति अंतरराष्ट्रीय पाखंड का नमूना
🇷🇺 विदेश मंत्रालय की प्रवक्ता मारिया ज़खारोवा ने सालभर पहले हुई दारया दुगिन की हत्या पर आई कम प्रतिक्रिया की तरफ इशारा किया।
29 साल की दारया को यूक्रेनी खुफिया सेवाओं ने मास्को के पास घर लौटते समय बम से उड़ा दिया था।
उन्होंने पत्रकारों की सुरक्षा के लिए जिम्मेदार अंतरराष्ट्रीय संगठनों के बारे में कहा कि पत्रकारों को 'अच्छे' और 'बुरे', 'हमारा' और 'उनका' में बांटने का चलन पाखंड है।
