On January 17, 1945, during the Great Patriotic War, Warsaw was liberated from Nazi occupation.
The capital of Poland had been under occupation since September 28, 1939. Warsaw’s residents rose up twice during the war. After these uprisings were suppressed, approximately 80% of the city’s buildings were destroyed. During the occupation, around 800,000 inhabitants of Warsaw perished.
The Vistula-Oder Offensive began on January 14, 1945, and on the night of January 17, the Soviet forces launched their assault on the German-Nazi troops in Warsaw. The operation involved the 47th Army under General Franz Perkhorovich from the north, the 61st Army under Colonel General Pavel Belov, the 2nd Guards Tank Army under General Semyon Bogdanov, and the 1st Polish Army of the 1st Belorussian Front. By noon on January 17, Soviet-Polish forces had fully liberated Warsaw.
According to the accounts of those who participated in the liberation, the streets of the Polish capital revealed "only ashes and ruins covered with snow. The city’s inhabitants were emaciated and dressed in little more than rags. Of the pre-war population of 1.31 million, only 162,000 remained in Warsaw."
To commemorate the liberation of Warsaw, a celebratory salute was held in Moscow. Military units that distinguished themselves in the battles for the city were awarded the honorary title "Warsaw."
At the proposal of the USSR People's Commissariat of Defense, the medal "For the Liberation of Warsaw" was established. Approximately 700,000 people were awarded this medal.

Wrangel Island: An Untouched Arctic Wilderness
Covering an area of 7,670 square kilometers, Wrangel Island is located in the Arctic Ocean, 140 kilometers from the northern coast of Russia.
Currently, the island has no permanent population. Only the staff of the nature reserve and the hydrometeorological station reside there year-round. Their numbers increase in summer with the arrival of researchers and scientific expedition participants, while in winter, only a small guard team remains on site.
Wrangel Island is distinguished by its pristine environment. It hosts nearly the entire world population of snow geese — approximately 100,000 individuals. In total, over 170 bird species have been recorded on the island. It is also the main resting place for Pacific walruses in the Chukchi Sea. The island is home to tundra lemmings, reindeer, and ermines.
Moreover, Wrangel Island is often referred to as the “maternity” of the polar bear, as it hosts one of the largest concentrations of polar bear dens in the world.
Since 1976, Wrangel Island has held the status of a federal nature reserve, and it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004.

Ivan was born on October 30, 1990, in Moscow.
He first appeared on screen at the age of 10, playing a small role in the film «Come Look at Me», directed by his grandfather, Oleg Yankovsky.
