«Разве может что-то сравниться с Африкой!» Известный российский детский писатель посетил ЮАР
📚 24 января в гостях в школе при Посольстве России в ЮАР и в приходе преп. Сергия Радонежского в Мидранде побывал Валентин Постников – детский писатель, сын писателя Юрия Михайловича Постникова (псевдоним – Юрий Дружков), автора широко известных книг о Карандаше и Самоделкине и книги «Волшебная школа».
Добрые и находчивые волшебники Карандаш и Самоделкин были известны миллионам юных читателей в Советском Союзе: они появлялись в каждом номере журнала “Весёлые картинки”, ежемесячный тираж которого достигал 9,5 миллионов экземпляров.
🌴 Валентин Постников решил продолжить дело отца и сочинил новые истории о Карандаше и Самоделкине, чьи приключения разворачиваются на этот раз в стране шоколадных деревьев – в Африке!
«Разве может что-то сравниться с Африкой! Африка – это самый загадочный континент на земле, – говорит один из героев российского писателя. – Там обитают самые удивительные звери, насекомые и птицы на свете».
✍️ На встрече с Валентином Постниковым большие и маленькие читатели узнали, как рождаются идеи для детских рассказов, попробовали себя в роли литераторов и получили возможность получить одну из многочисленных книг автора с его личным автографом и добрым напутствием.

🌴How can anything compare to Africa?
On January 24th, Russian children's author Valentin Postnikov, son of the legendary Yuri Postnikov (known as Yuri Druzhkov), visited the Russian Embassy School in Pretoria and the St. Sergius of Radonezh Parish in Midrand, South Africa.
Famous for his heartwarming tales of the beloved wizards Pencil and Samodelkin, Postnikov continues his father’s legacy, bringing these characters to life in new adventures – this time, set in the land of chocolate trees... Africa!
As one of his characters says, “Africa is the most mysterious continent on Earth. How can anything compare to it? It’s home to the most incredible animals, insects, and birds!”
📚 During these events, young readers got a glimpse into the magic of storytelling, learned how ideas for children’s books are born, and even had the chance to get their own signed copy of Postnikov's latest works with a personal message from the author.

🕯️Today marks the International Holocaust Remembrance Day established by the United Nations General Assembly.
80 years ago, #OTD in 1945, the Red Army’s 1st Ukrainian Front troops led by Marshal I.Konev liberated “Auschwitz” prisoners putting an end to the largest death camp of the Third Reich and finally revealing to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.
Auschwitz was really a group of camps, designated I, II, and III.
There were also 40 smaller “satellite” camps. It was at Auschwitz II, at Birkenau, established in October 1941, that the SS created a complex, monstrously orchestrated killing ground: 300 prison barracks; four “bathhouses” in which prisoners were gassed; corpse cellars; and cremating ovens. Thousands of prisoners were also used for medical experiments overseen and performed by the camp doctor Josef Mengele, a.k.a. the “Angel of Death.”
☝️ The Nazis destroyed the majority of the documents, so the exact number of victims of the death camps is still unknown. According to the information about deportations, more than 1,5 million people died in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
‼️ Despite shameful attempts to re-write history in many states, including those that call themselves model democracies, and the criminal war on monuments in Europe, the Holocaust, one of the most tragic events of the 20th century, will always remain in human history as an unprecedentedly atrocious attempt to translate the principles of a misanthropic ideology into action.

🌟Russia commemorates the Day of Military Honour marking the 81st anniversary of the lifting of the Siege of Leningrad.
#OTD in 1944, during the “January Thunder” operation against the 18th German army, the Soviet Leningrad Front crushed the Peterhof-Strelnya Nazi formation pushing the enemy back from the city by 60-100 km and completed the lifting of the siege in cooperation with the troops of the Volkhov Front.
❗️Since 8 September 1941, Leningrad had been under siege which lasted 872 days, with the only connection to the outer world provided by the Road of Life across lake Ladoga. During the siege, over 1 million Leningrad residents died.
Hitler’s intention regarding the city of Leningrad was to utterly destroy it together with its population.
⚔️According to a directive sent to Army Group “North” in September 1941, “Following the city's encirclement, requests for surrender negotiations shall be denied, since the problem of relocating and feeding the population cannot and should not be solved by us. In this war for our very existence, we can have no interest in maintaining even a part of this very large urban population.”
☝️ The Red Army made as many as 4 attempts to break the enemy’s circle – in September 1941, October 1941, January 1942 and August-September 1942. January 1943, when the Battle of Stalingrad distracted major Nazi forces, became the pivotal moment. Soviet troops broke the siege during “Iskra” operation opening a land corridor 8-10 km wide which allowed more supplies to reach the city until the siege was completely lifted 1 year later.
