Published a photo of Omicron The State Scientific Center of Virology and Biotechnology “Vector” showed photos of the omicron strain of coronavirus. The Center infected the cell culture with omicron in the laboratory in order to conduct a study of its morphological characteristics. Meanwhile, a new strain of the coronavirus “omicron” has already been detected in 110 countries around the world. It spreads faster than the delta strain, but the course of the disease may be less severe. Due to the “march” of a new strain and uncertainty with possible future restrictions, the Davos Forum was postponed. It was supposed to take place from January 17 to January 21.

“The epidemic has not receded yet. Unfortunately, the number of daily infections and losses is too high. Therefore, I ask you to continue to keep issues of health care support, the whole range of anti-epidemic measures under special control, and pay increased attention to them during the holidays,” Putin said on the Rossiya 24 TV channel. According to the operational headquarters on December 24, for the last day in In Russia, coronavirus was detected in 24,703 people.

People’s Artist of the RSFSR Vladimir Tatosov died at the 96th year of his life. This is reported by the radio station “Moscow Speaks” with reference to the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture Elena Drapeko. The deputy noted that the actor had an oncological disease, which worsened against the background of the coronavirus. “In real life, he was an absolutely wonderful storyteller, very cheerful, very cheerful. A few days before his death, he called me that he had been admitted to the hospital. We transferred him to another hospital, where he had a profile disease, but he was infected with CoViD-19. He died as a result of the combination of these two strange diseases,” the parliamentarian said. Drapeko stressed that this is a very big loss for her, since they had a long-term friendship with the actor. The parliamentarian noted that Tatosov was a wonderful

The annual press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin was held in Moscow on December 23. Journalist Vladimir Solovyov told the Daily Storm that his media “Solovyov LIVE” wanted to get to the event, but he was denied accreditation to meet with the head of state. Some of the “journalists” who came to the meeting seemed strange to the TV presenter: Shnurov attended a press conference “out of boredom,” and Sobchak came there with a personal cameraman because she was “an important person.” “Solovyov LIVE” submitted [an application for accreditation], but they said, “Guys, sorry, not this time.” Well, I can understand, because there were a lot of us in one form or another,” Solovyov said. Solovyov admitted that the refusal of accreditation did not offend him, because journalists from VGTRK, of which he is also a person, managed to get to the event: “Pavel Zarubin worked there, but I

If we assume that somewhere in space there is an intelligent civilization similar to a human one, then, most likely, it is also trying to detect life outside its planet. It is likely that it sends laser signals to the universe, but until recently scientists could not detect such messages due to the lack of the necessary tools. However, the situation has finally changed. According to the University of Hawaii, two fundamentally new devices detecting laser signals were recently installed on the top of the Haleakala volcano. They will work together with similar instruments installed at the Robert Ferguson California Observatory in Sonoma. Together, these scanners will explore the sky in the hope of detecting powerful laser pulses sent by an extraterrestrial civilization. Unlike the previous SETI project, which searches for strange radio signals, this optical network is ready to detect artificially created light signals. It is quite logical that “advanced
