Above the Black Sea, it became the 73rd liner of this family lost as a result of aviation accidents. The total number of those killed in such incidents over 44 years reached 3 thousand. 263 people. The Yuga.ru portal looked down in the history of the aircraft operation and remembered the largest catastrophes with his participation.

Tu-154 is a passenger aircraft developed in the 1960s in the USSR in the Design Bureau of Tupolev. It was intended for the needs of medium length airlines and for a long time was the most massive Soviet reactive passenger aircraft.

The first flight carried out on October 3, 1968. Tu-154 serially was produced from 1970 to 1998. From 1998 to 2013, in the Samara Plant "Aviakor" carried out small-sector production of modification of Tu-154m. A total of 1026 cars were manufactured. Until the late 2000s was one of the most common aircraft on medium-range routes in Russia.

The aircraft with the onboard number RA-85572, who failed a catastrophe on December 25, 2016 over the Black Sea, was made in 1983 and belonged to the modification of Tu-154B-2. This modification was produced from 1978 to 1986: an economy-class salon, designed for 180 passengers, improved automatic on-board control system. In 1983, the RA-85572 board was transferred to the USSR Air Force.

According to some Tu-154 pilots, the aircraft is unnecessary for the mass passenger liner and requires high qualifications of both flight and terrestrial personnel.

At the end of the 20th century, the plane designed in the 1960s is morally outdated, and the airline began to replace it with modern analogues - Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

In 2002, the EU countries due to inconsistencies in the level of permissible noise banned Tu-154 flights that are not equipped with special noise-absorbing panels. And since 2006, all flights of Tu-154 (except for the modification of Tu-154m) in the EU were finally prohibited. Airplanes of this type at the time were operated mainly in the CIS countries.

In the mid-2000s, the plane began to gradually derived from operation. The main reason is the low fuel efficiency of the engines. Since the aircraft was designed in the 1960s, the issue of engine efficiency before developers was not stood. The economic crisis of 2008 also contributed to the acceleration of the process of withdrawal of the aircraft from exploitation. In 2008, the entire Park Tu-154 was derived by the company S7, next year they did "Russia" and "Aeroflot". In 2011, the operation of Tu-154 ceased "Ural Airlines". In 2013, the liners of this type were brought from the air park by Utair, the largest Tu-154 operator.

In October 2016, the last demonstration flight took board the Belarusian airline Belavia. The only commercial operator of Tu-154 aircraft in Russia in 2016 was the airline "Alrosa", which has two Tu-154m aircraft in its fleet. According to unconfirmed data, two Tu-154 aircraft, including the oldest model of this family, released back in 1976, owns the North Korean airline AIR KORYO.

In February 2013, mass production of liners was discontinued. The last plane of the family, published at the Aviakor Samara Plant, was transferred to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The largest catastrophes of domestic Tu-154

02/19/1973, Prague, 66 dead

The Tu-154 aircraft performed a regular passenger flight from Moscow to Prague, when, having landed, suddenly passed into a rapid decline, not a one of 470 m to the runway, crashed into the ground and collapsed. 66 people were killed out of 100 on board. This is the first incident in the history of the Tu-154 aircraft. The Czechoslovak Commission could not establish the causes of the incident, only suggesting that when entering the landing, the airliner unexpectedly fell into the turbulence zone, which led to the loss of sustainability. The Soviet Commission came to the opinion that the cause of the catastrophe was the error of the aircraft commander, which, if approaching landing, accidentally, due to the imperfection of the control system, changed the angle of inclination of the stabilizer.

07/08/1980, Alma-Ata, 166 dead, 9 wounded on earth

The plane, which, on the route Almaty - Rostov-on-Don - Simferopol, fell almost immediately after takeoff. The aircraft demolished two residential barracks and four residential buildings, as a result of which nine people were injured on Earth. According to the official version, the catastrophe occurred due to the suddenly appeared atmospheric perturbation, which caused a powerful downward air flow (up to 14 m / s) and a strong backway wind (up to 20 m / s) during takeoff, at the time of cleaning mechanization, with high weighting weight, In the conditions of a high-mountain airfield and high air temperature. The combination of these factors at a low flight altitude and with a suddenly occurred lateral roll, the correction of which briefly distracted the crew, predetermined the fatal outcome of the flight.

11/16/1981, Norilsk, 99 dead

The liner completed the passenger flight from Krasnoyarsk and went to the landing when he lost height and landed on the field, not about 500 m to the strip, after which she crashed into a mound of the radio beacon and collapsed. 99 people from 167 were killed on board. According to the Commission, the cause of the catastrophe was the loss of the longitudinal control of the aircraft at the final stage of the landing approach due to the design features of the aircraft. In addition, the crew understood too late that the situation threatens an accident, and the decision to leave the second round was made non-advocate.

12/23/1984, Krasnoyarsk, 110 dead

The liner was supposed to perform a passenger flight to Irkutsk, when the engine fails when the height occurred. The crew made the decision to return, but when entering the landing, there was a fire that destroyed the control system. The car collapsed on Earth 3 km to the runway No. 29 and collapsed. The root cause of the catastrophe was the destruction of the disk of the first stage of one of the engines, which occurred due to the presence of fatigue cracks. Cracks were caused by a production defect.

07/10/1985, Uchkuduk, 200 dead

This catastrophe has become the largest number of those who died in the history of Soviet aviation and Tu-154 aircraft. The airliner who carried out a regular flight on the Karshi - Ufa route - Leningrad, 46 minutes after departure at an altitude of 11 thousand 600 m lost speed, fell into a flat corkscrew and collapsed to the ground.

According to an official conclusion, it happened when the high non-standard outdoor air temperature is influenced, the small reserve at the corner of the attack and thrust of the engines. The crew made a number of deviations from the requirements, lost speed - and did not cope with the piloting of the aircraft. The unofficial version is widespread: before departure, the crew recreation was disturbed, with the result that the total time of the wake of the pilots was almost 24 hours. And shortly after the start of the flight, the crew fell asleep.

12/07/1995, Khabarovsk Territory, 98 dead

The airliner Tu-154B-1 Khabarovsk United Airlines, which made the flight on the route Khabarovsk - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - Khabarovsk - Ulan-Ude - Novosibirsk, crashed into Mount Bo-Jaus 274 km from Khabarovsk. The cause of the catastrophe is supposedly asymmetric fuel pumping from the tanks. The ship commander mistakenly increased the resulting right roll, and the flight became uncontrollable.

07/04/2001, Irkutsk, 145 dead

When entering the landing at the airport of Irkutsk, the airliner suddenly fell into a flat corkscrew and collapsed to the ground. In the process of landing, the crew made a drop in the aircraft speed below the permissible 10-15 km / h. The autopilot included in the height maintenance mode, with a drop of speed increased the pitch angle, which led to even greater loss of speed. Having found a dangerous situation, the crew added the mode of engines, rejected the helvelery left and on myself, which led to a rapid growth of vertical speed and increasing the roll to the left. Having lost the spatial orientation, the pilot tried to bring the plane from the roll, but with his actions only increased it. The State Commission called the cause of the catastrophe erroneous acts of the crew.

10/4/2001, Black Sea, 78 dead

The airliner Tu-154M Airlines Siberia performed the flight along the route Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk, but 1 hour 45 minutes after the take-off collapsed into the Black Sea. According to the conclusion of the Interstate Aviation Committee, the aircraft was unintended to be shot down by the Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile C-200, launched during the Ukrainian military exercises held at the Crimean Peninsula. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexander Kuzmuk brought apologized for what happened. President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma admitted the responsibility of Ukraine for the incident and dismissed the Minister of Defense.

08/24/2004, Kamensk, 46 dead

The plane flew out of Moscow and took the course to Sochi. During the flight over the Rostov region, a strong explosion occurred in the tail part of the liner. The plane lost control and began to fall. The crew was trying to keep the plane in the air with all their might, but the unmanaged liner collapsed to the ground in the area of \u200b\u200bthe village of the Deep Kamensky district of the Rostov region and completely collapsed. An explosion on the plane arranged a suicide terrorist. Immediately after the terrorist attacks (on the same day, the Tu-134 aircraft exploded, which carried out the flight Moscow - Volgograd) the responsibility for them was assumed to themselves the terrorist organization "Brigade of Islambuli". But later Shamil Basayev said that the attacks prepared.

According to Basayev, the terrorists sent to them did not explode aircraft, but only captured them. Basayev argued that the aircraft were shot down by rockets of the Russian air defense, as Russia's leadership feared that aircraft would be aimed at any facilities in Moscow or St. Petersburg.

08/22/2006, Donetsk, 170 dead

The Russian airliner performed the planned passenger flight from Anapa to St. Petersburg, but over the Donetsk region collided with a strong thunderstorm. The crew requested the dispatcher at a higher flight echelon, but then the airliner lost her height, and after three minutes, the village of dry beam in Konstantinovsky district of the Donetsk region crashed.

"The lack of control over the flight rate and non-fulfillment of indication of the RLE (flight operating guidelines) to prevent the aircraft to fall into the dumping regime during unsatisfactory interaction in the crew did not allow to prevent the transition of a situation into catastrophic"- it was said in the final conclusion of the Interstate Aviation Commission.

04/10/2010, Smolensk, 96 dead

The Presidential Airliner Tu-154m of the Poland Air Force performed the flight along the route Warsaw - Smolensk, but when entering the airfield at the Smolensk-Northern airfield, the liner ran into the trees, tipped over, collapsed to the ground and completely collapsed. All 96 people who were on board were killed, among them the President of Poland Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria Kaczynskaya, as well as famous Polish politicians, almost all the highest military command and public and religious figures. They were heading to Russia with a private visit as a Polish delegation to mourning events on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Katyn execution. Investigation of the Interstate Aviation Committee it was established that all aircraft systems before a collision with the Earth worked normally; Because of the fog, visibility at the airfield was lower than permissible for the landing, which the crew was notified. The causes of the catastrophe were called incorrect actions of the crew of the aircraft and the psychological pressure on it.

"The terrorist attack is not only an explosion"

The Government Commission of the Russian Federation voiced the first conclusions about the Tu-154 crash

The site of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation

The terrorist attack is still considered, albeit not among the main, but as possible causes of the Catastrophe of the Tu-154 of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation over the Black Sea near Sochi, members of the Government Commission for Investigating the Circumstances of the Liner crashing headed by the Minister of Transport of Russia Maxim Sokolov reported today . At the same time, the speech about the withdrawal of the Tu-154 military after the Sochi catastrophe does not go: the aircraft of this type have proven themselves well.

The entire flight of the plane of the Ministry of Defense before the catastrophe in the morning of December 25 lasted about 70 seconds. The height with which the liner fell into the Black Sea was about 250 meters, and the aircraft speed at the highest flight point was within 360-370 kilometers per hour, reported on a briefing to a member of the Commission for the Investigation of the Sochi Catastrophe, Head of the Security Service of Aviation Sun Sergey Baynetov.

According to him, it is difficult to judge the accuracy of the information about the "handle nose" of the aircraft, which the media distributed earlier with reference to the words of eyewitnesses. "We are approaching identified, everything is checked and analyzed with the objective information that is. To talk about what an angle was when a collision with a water surface, prematurely, "said the member of the Commission.

In the same way, according to him, it is difficult to draw conclusions based on a short radio exchange, the content of which has become affordable after deciphering the speech recorder found at the site of the catastrophe.

"Radio exchange was extremely brief. The special situation was within 10 seconds. I can't tell you about the flaps and other things we heard, "said Baynetov, answering questions from journalists. - Everything was quite ordinary, but there was one phrase, which speaks of the development of a special situation. She doesn't say anything else. "

According to him, the version of the terrorist attack is still considered, although not as the main one. Fire tracks or explosion on the wreckage of the aircraft and the bodies of passengers. "The explosion on board was not exactly not, but the terrorist attack is not only an explosion," said the head of the aircraft safety service of aircraft. In general, he said, the original circle of more than 15 versions of the catastrophe was halved - to seven - after receiving data from both "black boxes" caught by divers. Sergey Baynetov at the same time noted that the recorders on board the Tu-154 were only two.

He also told that embarrassing many landing in the SOCHE Adler Airport really was for a regular refueling. This is provided for by the flight plan in Syria. Usually for these purposes uses the airport in Mozdok, but on the day of the catastrophe it was closed on meteorological conditions, explained by Baynetov.

He stressed that only the employees of the border service rose on board in Sochi.

For a detailed study of these work of the aircraft and analyzing its work, it is necessary for at least 10 days, and to reduce all the data and draw conclusions - at least 30 days, said Baynetov. Technical issues, according to him, the best specialists are engaged. "We were able to gather a large group of professionals and experts, with the help of which in the near future we hope to find out the cause of the incident," he stressed.

The final conclusions about the causes of what happened will be only after the final decoding of onboard recorders and the total analysis of the occurrence, the Minister Maxim Sokolov stressed. According to him, deciphering the data of two side recorders is scheduled to be completed in the near future, possibly on January 30th. Specialists evaluate the condition of both black boxes as good.

Now, the minister noted, the main phase of the search operation is completed, but this does not mean that the searches are completed. At the moment, 18 ships and plaques are left in the catastrophe area. Sokolov stressed that work comes out for the identification of bodies, in which a large role will be behind genetic examinations. The necessary samples of genetic material from relatives of the victims have already been collected, the head of the Ministry of Transport reported.

He clarified that at the moment 19 bodies were raised and all the most important elements of the aircraft were raised. The layout of the liner fragments on the shore for the investigative experiment began.

Stattto Secretary - Deputy Minister of Defense Nikolai Pankov said that insurance fees on the company SOGAZ will be paid to the families of the dead soldiers. The amount of payments will be 5.8 million rubles. According to Pankov, 11 families of military personnel have already received these payments. At the Federal Military Memorial Cemetery in the Moscow region on December 28, the first dead was buried, also informed Pankov. The funeral of the rest of the dead can be held only at the end of genetic examinations.

Recent data on the investigation of the causes of the crash reported experts. Installed: Flight lasted 70 seconds, the plane fell from a height of 250 meters. Commission representatives also told what assistance to the families of passengers and crew members.

Everything that is associated with the crash of the aircraft is, that is, all the parts they needed to analyze the incident and the part of the aircraft are already raised to the surface. And, as the representatives of the Government Commission said, the main phase of the search operation was already completed by this time.

What exactly happened in flight - to speak prematurely. Representatives of the Ministry of Defense noted: the weather on the night of the departure was good. Actually, the darkest day is the only factor complicating the work of the pilots. The Tu-154 crew had sufficient qualifications to perform this flight. The commander of the aircraft was bloated for about four thousand hours, with more than one and a half thousand hours on aircraft of this type.

Now representatives of the investigation work on the analysis of speech and parametric recorders. Their state is satisfactory. Already now we can say that the flight lasted a little more than a minute. The maximum height on which the plane rose, 250 meters. At the same time, its speed was about 360 kilometers per hour. Under these conditions, the crew recorded the occurrence of a certain critical situation. Judging by the negotiations in the cockpit, everything happened very quickly.

"Radio exchange was extremely brief. You can imagine that the special situation has developed within 10 seconds. Everything was fairly ordinary, but one phrase of the commander, analyzing this phase, talks about the beginning of a special situation, about the beginning of the development of a special situation. She no longer tells us anything, "said Sergey Baynetov, head of the security flight service of the flight security flight services.

On the collection and decoding of data from the investigation will leave a week and a half. The final conclusions about the causes of the catastrophe Commission promises to submit within 30 days. Approximately the same time will take genetic examination.

"The aircraft at the blow of the water surface and in the subsequent Black Sea bottom almost completely collapsed, which, of course, has complicated the search operation. The disaster area is fully examined. During the search events, 19 tel is found and raised from the surface of the water. The main identity will occur through the mandatory genetic examination of the remains of the tel. To do this, with the assistance of the Ministry of Defense, our doctors have already been taken from all relatives of the victims of the necessary biological materials, "the Minister of Transport said Maxim Sokolov.

In parallel, work began on organizing comprehensive assistance to relatives. Commission representatives are negotiating with a number of banks on the support of victims. It is already known that four banks - Sberbank, Alfa-Bank, VTB24 and the discovery - decided to write off all the debts of those who died in a plane crash over the Black Sea. As for the proposed compensation, these payments have already begun.

"Payments, of course, will continue in the coming days of New Year's Day. In coordination with the leadership of our largest banks, a number of departments in Moscow will work to ensure payments and in New Year's holidays. Therefore, the work will not stop even after January 1, "said Maxim Sokolov.

In addition to compensation, the Commission is ready to consider the needs of each family and to provide targeted assistance.

"A proposal was formed to talk to each family. To see, maybe measures will be taken on additional employment for family members, assistance with the device in kindergartens, training with training and other social assistance, "the head of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment Vsevolod Vukolov.

Works in the Black Sea water area will continue in the same mode - without breaks, even on New Year's Eve. Divers are still looking for the dead. These dives will be kept until the latter.

After fully deciphering the black boxes of a breakdown in late December 2016, in the water area of \u200b\u200bSochi Tu-154 - parametric and speech - Experts of the Ministry of Defense actually can already immediately call the causes of the aircraft crash. According to experts, the aircraft with passengers joined the totality of several factors: boardwent on the last flight overloaded, and the second pilot Alexander Rovnskyon takeoffinterpreted chassis control levers and flaps. When the crew noticed a mistake, it was already too late: severe Tu-154 simply did not have enough height for the saving maneuver, so hehit about the water by the tail of the fuselage and collapsed.

Heavy and unmanageable

A source familiar with the course of investigating the causes of the catastrophe said that the notorious human factor was recognized as a priority version of the Tu-154 crash.

Experts of the Research Center of Operation and Repair of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy, the speech and parametries (fixing the work of all units of the aircraft) of the recorder say that in the third minute of flight, when the liner was at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, the sensors of the course stability system were worked out, - told the source. - The car began to dramatically lose height due to problems with flaps.

According to experts, this happened after the second pilot, 33-year-old captain Alexander Rovnsky, instead of removing the chassis, removed the flap.

From this, the plane passed into an expulsory angle of attack, the crew tried to deploy the car to reach the earth, but did not have time to do this, "the source added.

As it turned out, the situation aggravated the overload Tu-154. In the luggage compartment, everything was filled under the urban. The tail of the aircraft pulled down. It was impossible to save the car: lacked speeds and heights.The tail part of the first touched the water, and then Tu-154at high speedi hit the sea with the right wing and collapsed.

According to the source, the emergency situation became a complete surprise for the crew: in the first seconds, the aircraft commander 35-year-old Major Roman Wolves and the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky were confused, but they quickly took themselves in their hands and until the last seconds they tried to save the aircraft until recently.

From the phrases of the second pilot and the ship commander it becomes clear that something happened to the flaps, after which the alarm sounded due to the limit angle of the Tu-154 attack.

Decoding:

Speed \u200b\u200b300 ... (Illegible.)

- (Illegible.)

He took the racks, commander.

- (Illegible.)

Wow, e-mine!

(Sound signal sounds.)

Floor, bitch, what is x ** nya!

High rise meter!

Us... (Illegible.)

(Signal sounds about dangerous rapprochement from Earth.)

- (Illegible.)

Commander, we fall!

So experts realized that the aircraft had problems with closeds precisely by the fault of the crew.

Pilots flying on Tu-154 confirm the findings of the experts of the Ministry of Defense that the cause of the catastrophe could be the error of pilots.

Tupolev, the handles of cleaning the chassis and closes are made on the visor of the cockpit of pilots, between them, above the windshield. You can confuse them, especially if the second pilot sitting on the right, whose duties include the management of flaps and chassis during the takeoff, was tired, "said Honored pilot of the Russian Federation Viktor Sazhenin, who himself flew to Tu-154. "From this, the plane moved to the shipyard angle of attack, hit the water, and he fell off the tail part.

This version considers the permissible and pilot test of the hero of Russia Magomed Tolbeev.

On the control panel Tu-154, flaps and chassis tumblers are located above the windshield. Flare - left, chassis - right. The second pilot is responsible for them, which sits in the chair on the right. It is possible that the pilot could confuse the levers or distracting to something, so the plane took off with the chassis released and the closed places, "Tolbea said.

According to Tolbaeva, it is impossible to exclude such a version that after the takeoff crew exceeded the speed and the closure mechanism collapsed, because of which the liner fell to the right, lost speed and collapsed into the water.

Tragic experience

Another factor of the Tu-154 catastrophe in Sochi could be the absence of sufficient knowledge commander and the second pilot, how to act in an extreme situation.

Most likely, nor the commander of the aircraft Roman Volkov, nor the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky, who ended with military schools at the beginning of zero years, did not undergo special training, says the source in the Catastrophe Investigation Commission in Sochi.

According to him, if the pilots had passed a special training of piloting in extreme situations in the Lipetsk Air Center for Retraining Military pilots or in Lii Name, then, perhaps, the catastrophe could be avoided.

In military schools, which finished pilots, they are unlikely to have been taught, as if the closures fails at low altitudes, put them on the reverse issue in order to bring a liner from the proceedable angle of attack, "the expert explained.

In addition, the engineers of the Research Center of Operation and Repair of Aviation Acquaintances of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy do not exclude that when the crew tried to expand the car to reach the earth, he had a good chance to save if not overload.

Overloading shows the fact that when the plane began to lose the height, the first water hit the tail part, which fell off, and then the car hooked the water and collapsed into the sea, "says the source in the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

According to him, it is impossible to exclude that the luggage compartment simply overloaded.

After all, it was almost the last departure of a civilian side in Syria, and relatives and colleagues who were on a business trip of the military could simplify the leadership of the airfield and the crew to take on board the extra, "said the expert. - And during the flight and after landing in Sochi, the cargo could terminate. During the takeoff from Sochi, the cargo moved into the tail part of the liner, and the car with a freelancer with the flaps pulled down.

A catastrophe with Tu-154 B-2 with the onboard number RA-85572 The Ministry of Defense occurred on December 25, 2016. It was at 5:40 am Moscow time 1.7 kilometers from the coast of Sochi. The board of the Ministry of Defense flew into the Syrian Hmeimim from the airfield Chkalovsky, and in Sochi he only refuel. On board the liner was 92 people. A few minutes after the cut from the strip, the plane disappeared from radar screens.

A broken liner was based on the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow and was part of the FGBU "State Airlines" 223rd Ferry Council "of the Ministry of Defense, which carries out the transport of military personnel.

The modification of Tu-154 B-2 is designed to transport 180 passengers of the economic class and produced from 1978 to 1986. A total of 382 aircraft were built. Since 2012, Russian civil air carriers are not exploited by Tu-154 B-2.

The network appeared the results of the investigation of the Tu-154 wreck over the Black Sea. According to the published information, the cause of the tragedy was the crew fatigue.

"The cause of the Tu-154-B-2 disaster was a violation of the spatial orientation (situational awareness) of the aircraft commander, which led to its erroneous actions with the aircraft control bodies, as a result of which the aircraft at the stage of a set of height moved to a decrease and ran into a water surface" , "Said in the report published in the Telegram channel" Captain Lunners ". The document is noted "the absence of an adequate reaction of the aircraft captain" on the reports of crew members, as well as sound and light signals.

A violation of spatial orientation was facilitated by several factors: excessive mental stress, emotional and physiological fatigue and deficit of the skills of the distribution of attention from the captain. The tragedy also led the lack of compulsory control over the flight execution by the military command.

"Military transport aviation was not ready for large-scale challenges that in front of it set the task of organizing a continuous air bridge to Syria. Problem in a complex, a lack of prepared crews, an outdated system of preparation and control, the density relationship of the command to the regime of labor and recreation crews", - noted by the author of the Telegram channel.

The report provides a list of violations made on the military base when preparing the departure of Tu-154. For example, the crew was equipped with different squadrons, there was no radio operator in its composition - on-board translator. For pilots, there were no classes and training, and they passed the medical examination earlier than two hours before departure.

Experts added that during refueling Tu-154, the landing and disembarkation of passengers was not produced, the additional cargo on board was not posted. The problems arose at the seventh second flight, since the captain "experienced difficulties in determining its location on the territory of the airfield related to his submission of the take-off course."

Recall that the collapse of the Tu-154 of the Ministry of Defense occurred on December 25, 2016 not far from Sochi. The plane collapsed into the Black Sea. All those who were on board 92 people were killed, including journalists of federal channels, head of the Fundamental Help Foundation Elizabeth Glinka, as well as the head and artists of the Aleksandrov ensemble.
