chipping program

The federal program, which involved studying the possibility of controlling external devices using microcomputers implanted in the brain, was closed last year, as the Russian government came to the conclusion that it was “inappropriate,” the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science reported.

Kommersant wrote about this program earlier today, citing sources in the Ministry of Education and Science and documents on it. The program "Brain, health, intelligence, innovation" was designed until 2030, and it was supposed to allocate 54 billion rubles for it. Its developers were Moscow State University and the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Russians began to ask to change vouchers from Russian resorts to Turkish ones

The Russians began to change vouchers to domestic resorts in favor of holidays in Turkey, said Maya Lomidze, executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR). Holidays in Turkey have recently risen in price by at least 20%, but still remain cheaper than in Russian resorts.

On Friday, June 18, when it became known about the resumption of flights to Turkey from June 22, a ten-day tour for two to a 5-star hotel with a flight from Moscow cost 75-80 thousand rubles. This price is comparable to the prices of early August 2020, when Russia resumed international communication interrupted due to the pandemic. But by Monday, similar tours have risen in price by 50-80%.
