In September, the first Russian vaccine against infection caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), cegardex, entered the market. This virus has more than a hundred types, but there are especially dangerous ones - those that over time can lead to the development of precancerous changes and cancer. In particular, highly oncogenic HPV types cause more than 95% of cervical cancer (cervical cancer) cases. It is the second most common type of cancer among young women. Moreover, the two most common – the 16th and 18th types of HPV – account for about 70% of all cases of RSM associated with the virus, the chief freelance epidemiologist of the Ministry of Health Roman Polibin reported.

The debate about artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has changed markedly in recent years. When, for the first time, a few years ago, a student defended a diploma prepared using a neural network, the main question was: is it permissible to use this tool in an academic environment at all? The emergence of such technologies seemed to call into question the very principles of knowledge assessment and academic integrity.

Russian women in search of work experimented with platforms for employment and found that more invitations to interviews come if the gender in the questionnaire is indicated male. Eichars, expectedly, criticized creativity and complained about “thousands of resumes” that prevent you from selecting vacancies manually. This is not a mistake or an accident, but an attempt to automate practices that used to lay on the conscience of a living eichar.

Over the past 20 years, Russia has not become a prominent economic player in Southeast Asia. Trade remains sluggish, mutual investments are few, joint ventures are few, and economic success stories can be counted on fingers. With the exception of certain raw materials and high-tech niches, primarily military-industrial complex, nuclear energy and space products, Russia is not yet competitive in the region, and we are only beginning to integrate into these processes.

The draft federal budget submitted to the State Duma gives reason to hope that 2027 will be possible without another significant increase in spending and deficit. The government seems to be counting on containing spending so that the Bank of Russia has additional grounds for softening the PrEP, and the economy has the opportunity to restore investment activity. A year of fiscal austerity could save us from much more painful spending cuts and tax hikes in the future.

American artist Kanye West, whose concert did not take place in St. Petersburg this summer, unexpectedly unites Russia and the West. It sounds paradoxical, but it is a fact: the refusal to give permission to hold this event in one of the two capitals proves the preservation of a common cultural and historical context for citizens of Russia and European countries, where anti-Semitic statements and flirting with the ideology of Nazism are unacceptable.

The Russian school still has enough teachers. Still, the system is able to adapt: free hours are distributed among working teachers, the load is growing, part-time and other forms of employment are used. For this reason, the number of vacancies in itself is increasingly worse describing the state of the teaching corps. In the HSE analytical report, the share of free rates in 2016-2024 was estimated at 2.8-3.4%. If we consider the need for staff without teachers working part-time and civil law contracts, the figure increases to 7.4%. The first figure shows the ability of the school to provide the learning process, the second - the cost of such sustainability.

Imagine a country that has lost much of its independence. Key decisions are made with an eye to a stronger power that can influence the country’s leadership, its economic course, and play a role in the management of local strategic resources. At the same time, investments come to the subordinate state, its incomes grow, crime decreases, and the quality of public administration improves. The question is, is the loss of sovereignty always harmful?

On the eve of the next anniversary of the beginning of the space age, the number of publications related to the launch of the first artificial satellites of the Earth is growing in the media. In most of them, the authors will not bother themselves, crucifying themselves in beautiful names, but will write “First Satellite” or even shorter, “Sputnik-1”.

Director Peter Shereshevsky opened the 30th, anniversary season of the theater agency "Art Partner" with an ambitious premiere - a performance based on the most popular Russian novel of the XX century. Being the author of the staging (Shereshevsky writes under the pseudonym Semyon Sakseev), he combined the storylines with documentary ones. Bulgakov turned into a character, Margarita split, and Volanda’s retinue was greatly reduced. Four great artists – Igor Vernik, Andrei Maximov, Victoria Verberg, Tatiana Ishmatova – play out the old new story, their close-ups are displayed on the screen in the “here and now” mode. “The Master and Margarita” by Shereshevsky resembles a movie, but a movie shot in a mystical dimension.

Vrubel without demons is the main formula of the new exhibition at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Art, dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the artist’s birth. The exhibition reveals this formula in two ways. Among the almost 400 works, the visitor will not find Vrubel’s textbook paintings: the three of his famous “Demons” remained hanging in the halls of the Tretyakovka and the Russian Museum. But instead of Vrubel-melancholic, with his head immersed in his gloomy dreams, the viewer will see an active artist-experimenter who could from time to time pacify his own inner demons.

Before the denouement of the adventures of don Rumata there are two episodes (the last episode of “Hard to be God” will be released on Wink on October 15), and Okko and Kion have already started “Noon” from the film company “Mediaslovo” – an adaptation of another story of the Strugatsky brothers, “Beetle in an anthill”. The same universe, but the action takes place on the Earth of the future, where all conflicts have been eliminated, borders have disappeared, and the whole world seems ready for a photo shoot in Vogue magazine.
