The assessment of the Y.M. Yurovsky's note (the Romanov case):

Here is the assessment of the Y.M. Yurovsky (1878-1938) note by the AI Assistant based on the facts mentioned in the book written by Alexander Avdonin:

'Based on the information provided in the training data [the book by Avdonin], here are more details about the accuracy of Yurovsky's note:

1. Errors and Inaccuracies:

- Yurovsky made several mistakes in the note. For example, he incorrectly named Nicholas II's youngest daughter as Ksenia instead of Anastasia.

- He also mistakenly called the cook Kharitonov by the name Tikhomirov.

- The note states that 12 people were shot, when in fact it was 11.

2. Reasons for Inaccuracies:

- The author suggests that Yurovsky might have forgotten some details, as the note was written about two years after the events.

- The chaotic circumstances of the Bolsheviks' flight from Yekaterinburg at the time may have contributed to the confusion.

- Yurovsky's limited education (incomplete lower education) is mentioned as a factor that made writing the note difficult for him.

3. Intentional vs. Unintentional Errors:

- The book suggests that some facts in the note might have been deliberately confused, while others were carelessly mixed up.

- It's noted that many facts need to be "put in their proper places, determined by history, not by Yakov Yurovsky."

4. Limitations in Detail:

- The note is described as lacking specific details about the location where the remains were hidden. It's stated that it's impossible to find the actual burial site based solely on this document.

5. Historical Context:

- The author emphasizes the need to understand the psychology of "ardent revolutionaries" of that time, for whom the execution of the Tsar's family was just another episode in their revolutionary biography.

6. Editing Process:

- The note was edited and literarily processed by M.N. Pokrovsky, which might have introduced further changes or interpretations.

7. Value Despite Inaccuracies:

- Despite its flaws, the note is still considered a genuine and important historical document, providing insight into the events surrounding the Romanov family's execution.

8. Need for Additional Research:

- The author stresses the importance of seeking additional information to corroborate or correct the details provided in Yurovsky's note.

In summary, while Yurovsky's note is considered a valuable historical document, it contains numerous inaccuracies and should be approached critically. The book suggests that these inaccuracies stem from a combination of factors including the passage of time, the author's limited education, the chaotic circumstances of the time, and possibly some intentional obfuscation. The note should be used in conjunction with other historical sources for a more accurate understanding of the events.'

born and raised in savannah, georgia, henry has always understood the kind of connection to nature that his mother favored. nothing in the world quite made sense like the beach at the witching hour, the still air warning of a storm building off the coast. his bedroom window was almost always open so he could hear the waves rolling against the shoreline and his childhood was nothing short of idyllic. he was doted upon, beloved by all his family, the leader of a little troupe of siblings who followed, and he displayed powerful accidental magic as a child. as he grew up, he grew into the potential in his soul and his magic matched him at every point. when he went to ilvermorny, he met a similar fanfare to his mother: all of the statues called out to him to join their ranks. potential wreathed around him and henry, like his mother seraphina before him, chose the horned serpent to guide him and bring him home. he questioned everything around him — from magical theories to practical applications to the politics that surrounded the wizarding world. all that potential, though, proved to be just a little too much. not many would admit to being exiled, particularly by their own mother, and so he hasn’t. because of that, every time someone asks henry picquery why he is in england, henry gave back a different answer without fail. the truth is simple: he nearly blew the cover of the wizarding world and the international statute of secrecy in a spectacular fashion. all he wanted to prove was that the no majs weren’t nearly as hateful of wizarding kind as they’d been led to believe and he wanted to do so by replicating the empire state building. and then, when it all came tumbling down, no fewer than a hundred no-majs were saved by a well placed shield by russian auror sasha tikhomirov. though no one was injured, it was enough of a scare for both to be ushered out of the country as quietly as possible. henry’s name went unmentioned in the press but his absence is rather noteworthy, given his status as a former president’s son — some have started to put the pieces together and it’s only a matter of time before he’s no longer welcome in the american wizarding world at all and must find a more permanent dwelling than in orion black’s guest room. it’s there that he’s heard about their social club, an interesting calling if only for the chance to get to know other people his own age group. their ideas are peculiar, but perhaps worth entertaining if only because they have a similar goal, in his mind: eliminate the international statute of secrecy. they have different ways of going about it, sure, but if henry picquery has learned how to do anything in his life, it’s hitch his wagon to whoever will get him the farthest and get out of the way before the building comes crashing down.

Im Berliner "Tatort" geht es gewohnt grausig zu: kopflose Leichen, Handschuhe aus Menschenhaut, brutale russische Mafiosi. Ganz und gar nicht gewohnt ist dafür das Setting, denn die Kommissare Karow und Rubin steuern auf das Ende ihrer Ermittlerbeziehung zu. Was passiert? Kommissarin Rubin (Meret Becker) und ihr Kollege Karow (Mark Waschke) ziehen eine buchstäblich bis zur Unkenntlichkeit verstümmelte Leiche aus der Spree: Dem Mann wurde nicht nur der Kopf abgetrennt, sondern auch teilweise die Haut abgezogen, um gestochene Tattoos zu entfernen. Ein Mord, der nach Mafia aussieht, und tatsächlich bahnt sich gerade ein Bandenkrieg zwischen zwei einflussreichen russischen Gangsterfamilien an. Julie Bolschakow (Bella Dayne, r.) vertraut sich Kommissarin Rubin an. (Foto: rbb/Aki Pfeiffer) Während Karow alle Register zieht, um die Identität des Toten zu ermitteln und sich dafür sogar Handschuhe aus der Haut des Toten anfertigen lässt, wird Rubin die Lösung auf dem Silbertablett präsentiert: Julie Bolschakow (Bella Dayne), die Ehefrau des brutalen Chefs der gleichnamigen Mafia-Familie, will im Tausch gegen die Aufnahme ins Zeugenschutzprogramm auspacken und vertraut sich der Kommissarin an. Weil die Bolschakows offenbar auch korrupte Polizisten auf der Gehaltsliste haben, muss Rubin allerdings auf eigene Faust ermitteln - und die Sache sogar vor Karow geheim halten. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt, denn Julie kann erst außer Landes geschafft werden, wenn sie auch Beweise aus dem Hause Bolschakow liefert - und ihr Mann Yasha (Oleg Tikhomirov) hat längst Verdacht geschöpft. Worum geht es wirklich? Um Meret Beckers Abschied vom Berliner "Tatort": Nach 15 Folgen in sieben Jahren ist "Das Mädchen, das allein nach Haus' geht" Kommissarin Rubins letzter Fall. Und der hat es in sich. Wegzapp-Moment? Für zart besaitete Gemüter könnten die Szenen aus der Pathologie mit Sicherheit ein Grund sein, die Fernbedienung aus der Hand zu legen. Besser aber: Kurz die Augen zu, das Weiterschauen lohnt in jedem Fall. Wow-Faktor? Mehr zum Thema Wie Regisseur Ngo The Chau das Labyrinth unter dem Hauptstadtflughafen in Szene setzt, ist enorm eindrucksvoll. Und ganz allgemein die düstere Ästhetik, die sich Chau, der eigentlich gelernter Kameramann ist und hier zum ersten Mal in einem Krimi beide Rollen in Personalunion ausfüllt, für den Film ausgedacht hat. Wie ist es? 9 von 10 Punkten. "Das Mädchen, das allein nach Haus' geht" ist ein krachend inszenierter Thriller und ein furioses Finale für Meret Becker. Regisseur Chau: "Mir war vor allem wichtig, nach dem über die vielen Jahre hinweg teilweise sehr schroffen Umgang der Hauptfiguren miteinander, einen Showdown zu kreieren, der unmissverständlich klar macht, dass sie einander hatten und liebten, ohne füreinander bestimmt gewesen zu sein." Das hat er geschafft.

Never Abandon A Family Member

If You Can’t Make A Life Commitment

Don’t Get A Pet..

I Am Waiting Here

My owner told me to wait for him here and he would come back.

It's a very nice place right here, I can see the cows in the farm, there're many trees around here and there are also the butterflies.

I stay here everyday so that if my owner comes, he would find me.

One of the cows told me one day that I should wait no more.

But, I'm sure he would come to take me back home.

Don't look at me with those pitiful sights, my friendly cows.

He will come back, I'm so sure.

Do you all see my collar? I have a collar...

Don't let me wait so long, come pick me home.

Well, I start to believe you, chubby cow.

I come here everyday and I always cry.

But, in my mind, I always see my owner and he told me he would come here again.

I'm still waiting here.

Thanks to Sanctions, Russia Is Cushioned From Coronavirus' Economic Shocks

MOSCOW — Six years ago, the United States and the European Union slammed the door on Western bank loans for Russian companies, starving the country’s oil and banking industries of financing. The harsh measures were intended to punish Russia for military interventions in Ukraine and Syria and for meddling in the 2016 American election to help Donald J. Trump.Paradoxically, however, those sanctions and the policies Russia enacted in response prepared the Kremlin for what came this month: a universal dislocation of the global economy from the coronavirus pandemic and an oil price war that led to a collapse in oil prices and the revenues that Russia relies upon to support social spending.Far from being a basket case, Russia enters the crisis with bulging financial reserves, its big companies nearly free of debt and all but self-sufficient in agriculture. After Russia was hit with the sanctions, President Vladimir V. Putin’s government and companies adapted to isolation and were virtually forced to prepare for economic shocks like the one hammering the global economy today.“Russia will be a bit better off than other countries because of its experience, because of sanctions and because of reserves,” said Vladimir V. Tikhomirov, chief economist for BCS Global Markets, referring to the roughly $600 billion in gold and hard currency reserves the country has amassed.To be sure, Russia has taken a hard hit from the collapse of oil prices, with the national currency, the ruble, losing about 20 percent of its value in recent weeks. Oil and natural gas account for about 60 percent of Russia’s exports.It is still too early to predict how outbreaks of the virus will spread and how various governments will respond. Given the state of Russia’s ramshackle and underfunded health care system, the coronavirus outbreak could be catastrophic. With the state’s tight grip on the news media, many Russians suspect that the Kremlin could be hiding the scale of the problem or the extent of preparedness, hampering an effective response.Still, some countries, Russia among them, seem better positioned than others. For Russia, that is linked to the Western sanctions.Take, for example, a 2014 sanction limiting loans from Western financial institutions to a maximum of three months. Russian companies responded by paying down their debt so that total government and corporate foreign debt in Russia fell to $455 billion at the start of this year from $713 billion in 2014. By contrast, Western companies have taken advantage of low interest rates to run up trillions of dollars in debt in the past decade.“Russia over the past six years has been living with a hostile foreign environment because of sanctions,” said Mr. Tikhomirov. When the virus threat passes, he said, “it’s possible things will come back to life faster in Russia than in other countries because there won’t be the negative drag of debt.”The Russian government on Thursday published its plan to contain the virus and maintain economic activity. It said that all pneumonia patients would now be tested and that the country was making 100,000 test kits a day.The plan revised rules for paid sick leave so that companies must pay an advance when an employee goes on leave. It will dip into the National Welfare Fund, the main sovereign wealth fund, to pay bonuses to medical workers.Russia has 55,000 hospital beds available to treat coronavirus patients and 40,000 ventilators, which are critical in treating the sickest patients, the statement said. By Friday, Russia had reported 199 cases of Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.For now, Russia is relying on quarantines of individuals and contact tracking without major lockdowns. But measures to halt the virus’s spread will most likely bring Russia’s economy to a halt, as they have elsewhere, as companies send employees home. At that point, Russia’s treasure chest of hard currency will be of little help.The reserves will come into play during a recovery, though, as Russia will not be competing for financing from capital markets to stimulate the economy.For years, economists criticized Russian economic policy as overly conservative, emphasizing saving over spending. It seemed to reflect a deep-seated Russian belief: No matter how bad things are today, they can always get worse. Now, that policy looks justified, particularly in view of the country’s reliance on natural resource extraction for most of its hard currency earnings.“Russia is more ready than ever before in its history,” said Vladimir Osakovsky, the chief Russia economist at the Bank of America, referring to the economic fallout from the virus’s spread.Russia built those reserves throughout the sanctions period by writing into its budget an artificially low estimate for the global price of oil. All tax on profits above that level went into the national piggy bank. The policy starved the economy of investment — the gross domestic product grew at 1.3 percent last year — but put Russia in a solid position entering the coronavirus crisis.Russia’s agricultural sector is also benefiting from changes introduced after sanctions on food imports. Before European agricultural products fell victim to the sanctions war, for example, Koza Nostra, a small company making gourmet cheese, was a barely viable family enterprise. But after sanctions cut off French cheese imports, the company doubled and then tripled its output in ensuing years.“It was the right approach,” the general director, Aleksandr Asatryan, said of the Kremlin’s move to prop up Russian agriculture in response to sanctions, useful today as insulation against trade disruptions.Since 2014, the share of imported food on the Russian market has fallen to about 10 percent today from about 25 percent. Russia is self-sufficient for most staples other than fresh fruits and vegetables. More than guaranteeing nutrition, the shift allows the government to reserve its hard currency for a recovery rather than expend it propping up the ruble to keep imported food affordable.“Even in a bad scenario, Russia can survive this shock better than many other economies,” said Sofya Donets, an economist at Renaissance, a Moscow investment bank, who returned to work last week after a mandatory quarantine.
