Day of fight for human rights from chemical danger

Every year our country celebrates the Day of Fight for Human Rights from Chemical Hazards. The reason for the creation of the celebration was the tragic events that took place in 1974 at the plant chemical weapons in Novocheboksarka.

It was precisely on April 28 that a fire broke out during the production of a new batch of weapons - an unfinished workshop began to burn at the plant. finished products". On that day, many aerial bombs were destroyed, which contained toxins and were dangerous. So a lot of toxic substances got into the air. And only thanks to a happy accident and the efforts of workers, such a man-made disaster did not become widespread - the accident did not break out of the city.

But the information itself was initially hidden from the public. And only in the 1990s many people were able to learn about it. So ensuring the chemical safety of the country is one of the most important national tasks. Without them, it is impossible to implement any projects that are aimed at improving the quality of life of mankind.

World Day for Safety at Work

The International Labor Organization established World Day for Safety at Work in 2003 with the aim of attracting the attention of the entire world community to how the creation and promotion of safety at work can reduce the annual death rate in the workplace. The observance of World Day for Safety at Work began in connection with the observance by American and Canadian workers in 1989 of the Day of Remembrance for the lost workers who were injured or died in the workplace. Since then, every year on April 28, this holiday is celebrated in all UN countries, events are held that are aimed at drawing public attention to labor protection problems.

Chemical Safety Day (Day of Fight for Human Rights from Chemical Hazard) in Russia

The Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees the right of citizens to live in a safe environment. Every year on April 28, Russia celebrates the Day of Fight for Human Rights from Chemical Hazards or Chemical Safety Day. This day was established after the tragic events that took place at the chemical weapons plant in Novocheboksarsk (Chuvashia) in 1974. On this day in 1974, during the release of a batch of weapons in the unfinished "finished products" shop, a fire broke out - many aerial bombs filled with toxic V-gas burned there, several tons of toxic substances fell into environment. Thanks to the efforts of the workers and by a lucky chance, the accident did not break out of the city and the man-made disaster did not acquire a huge scale. The consequences of this accident could be comparable to the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. Information about this incident, like about many other accidents in the USSR at that time (in Novomoskovsk, Chapaevsk, Stalingrad, Dzerzhinsk), was hidden from the public and became available only at the initiative of environmental organizations and ecologists in the 1990s. Before today the consequences of this accident in terms of medical scientific evaluation are not known.

In the old days, it was on this day that beekeepers tried to inspect their apiaries and omshaniki, to check whether their bees were healthy and whether they survived the winter well. It was believed among the people that if spring came early, and the first flowers appeared by the end of April, then the hives were taken out and exposed to fresh air on that day.
On Pudov day, the buds of viburnum and mountain ash were blooming. In the old days, the peasants prepared healing infusions from them. The people believed that the mountain ash itself had the ability to heal toothache, but for this it was necessary to perform such a ridiculous rite: go to the mountain ash and gnaw it, saying - “Rowan, mountain ash, take my toothache, from now on and forever I will not be with you.” eat "or" Rowan, rowan, cure my teeth, and if you don't cure it - I'll gnaw you all out.
After this rite, the berries from the mountain ash could no longer be consumed so that the pain would not return.

In 1813, having caught a cold ten days earlier during a trip in a droshky in inclement weather, the 67-year-old His Grace Prince Mikhail Illarionovich Golenishchev-Kutuzov passed away.

It is known that Kutuzov, to put it mildly, was not eager to shed the blood of his soldiers for the liberation of Europe, but, of course, he could not disobey the order of Alexander I. He died in a foreign land, in Bunzlau, at the very beginning of the foreign campaign of the Russian army.

On the central square of this German town, where the heart of the great Russian commander is buried, there is a dark gray triangular obelisk. There is an inscription on it, made by order of King Friedrich Wilhelm III: "Until now, Prince Kutuzov-Smolensky brought victorious Russian troops; but here death put an end to his glorious days. He saved his Fatherland and opened the way to the deliverance of Europe. May the hero's memory be blessed."

In 1827, Emperor Nicholas I issued a decree on the establishment of the Gendarme Corps. The idea belonged to Adjutant General Benckendorff, who proposed to establish a high police force under the command of a special minister.

Nicholas included the Corps of Gendarmes in the III Department of the Own Chancellery, and appointed Benckendorff as the head, about whom Herzen wrote: “Maybe Benckendorff did not do all the evil that he could do, being the head of this terrible police, standing outside the law and above the law, who had the right to interfere in everything, I am ready to believe it, especially remembering the beautiful expression of his face ... "

This "punitive organ of the autocracy for the struggle against the revolutionary and social movement"as written in Soviet time, was ridiculous in its numbers: for example, in the security department of Petrograd in front of February Revolution there were no more than 600 people in the state. It must be said that gendarmes were not liked in Russia: even the highest ranks were never accepted in decent houses.

In 1907, the writer Zoya Voskresenskaya was born. People of the older generation remember her children's textbooks about Lenin, the stories "Mother's Heart", "Hope". But writing activities Zoya Ivanovna took up only after her retirement.

Zoya Voskresenskaya was 26 years old Soviet spy. She worked as a cryptographer in China, a resident in Austria, Germany, Finland.

It was she who, on June 17, 1941, prepared a message about the date of the attack on Soviet Union.
In 1956, Voskresenskaya retired. A year later, her first story was published.

During the Second World War, this German businessman saved more than a thousand Jews by providing them with work in his enterprises. This fact became widely known thanks to Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List.

April 28, 1918 in prison Czech city Terezin died of bone tuberculosis at the age of 25. Gavrilo Princip, a terrorist whose assassination attempt on the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked World War I. Like his comrades in the underground organization Mlada Bosna, this young Bosnian Serb dreamed of liberating his homeland (in 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina).

The 50-year-old Franz Ferdinand himself brought his own death closer: during a fatal visit to Sarajevo, at his request, all security was removed from the streets, with the exception of 150 local policemen. June 28, 1914, on the 525th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, in which the Serbs killed Turkish Sultan, Princip and his comrades launched a real hunt for the Archduke. Franz-Ferdinand was not injured by the bombing, but Princip killed the Archduke and his pregnant wife Sophie with Browning shots. As a minor, the terrorist was sentenced not to death penalty and to 20 years in prison. In Serbia, Gavrilo became national hero, and a memorial with his footprints was erected in Sarajevo.

Born in 1932 National artist RSFSR Yuri Volintsev.

As a child, he dreamed of becoming a conductor. But musical career did not take place. After graduating from Shchukin theater school Volintsev was invited to the Vakhtangov Theatre. On this stage, he played many roles. The most famous - in performances: "Princess Turandot", "Glass of Water", "Ladies and Hussars". Yuri Vitalievich skillfully combined bright theatricality with the psychological authenticity of his characters.

In the movie, the artist starred a little, most famous films with his participation - “Major Whirlwind”, “Carousel” by Mikhail Schweitzer, “Good weather on Deribasovskaya”. Viewers remember him as the resilient Pan Athlete from the program "Zucchini 13 Chairs".

Yuri Volintsev died in 1999.

In 1947, the Norwegian ethnographer and archaeologist Thor Heyerdahl began his historical journey from South America to Polynesia on a papyrus boat under sail with the image of the leader of the ancient Incas, Kon-Tiki.

It was more likely not even a boat, but a raft made according to the ancient Inca model, from balsa logs, according to descriptions in ancient documents of seafarers. The day before, in the Peruvian port of Callao, according to the ancient rite, a ceremony was held to consecrate it with coconut milk.

With his journey, Heyerdahl sought to prove that the ancestors of the natives who settled Polynesia ended up on the islands Pacific Ocean not from South-East Asia, as previously thought, but from South America. Seven people took part in the expedition, the voyage lasted one hundred days and successfully ended at the Polynesian atoll of Raroia. Thor Heyerdahl confirmed the assumption that such trips over many thousands of kilometers on rafts were possible in antiquity, when there were no ships yet.

In 1955, on this day, the first builders of the main rocket range of the USSR, the Baikonur Cosmodrome, arrived at the site.

Here is how one of them recalls this: “We went out, looked around, and it seemed to us that it was unlikely that in the whole world there would be a place more alien to human life than this endless steppe, teeming with snakes, turtles, scorpions and gophers ... "

Meanwhile, the location of the cosmodrome in the Kazakh steppe was not chosen by chance: the distance from major routes, railways, from the border, more than 300 sunny days a year, little rainfall, low humidity, short winter…

They started building from scratch - no manpower, no construction base, no sources of electricity. They lived in tents and dugouts, ate from field kitchens, drank unpurified water, which was brought by water carts from the Syr Darya, suffered from jaundice and dysentery. And although the amount of work was colossal, the landfill was created with incredible speed. This process was led by an experienced military builder, Colonel, and then General Georgy Shubnikov. Under his command there were about 20 thousand construction battalion workers.

In 1945, it was Carmen who directed the filming Nuremberg Trials, on the basis of which he then created the film “The Court of Nations” as a director and screenwriter (in 1947, this tape was awarded Stalin Prize). In subsequent years, Karmen created about three dozen more journalistic films, including the first Soviet panoramic film, My Country is Wide, in 1958.
