2,000 polling stations, including in several medical institutions, at moskovsky and ladazhsky Railway Stations, as well as at pulkovo airport. Our correspondent Dmitry Akimov is working at one of the sites, and he is now in direct contact with the studio. Dmitry, hello, tell us how the voting is going . Yes, yuri, hello, well, indeed, in st. Petersburg , polling stations opened, as throughout the country, at exactly 8 00 in the morning; there are 1,947 permanent polling stations in the city. As well as 47 temporary ones, which are located in medical institutions at the moskovsky Railway Station at pulkovo airport, in addition, 99 polling stations have been formed on ships that will be sailing on voting days, as well as to the st. Petersburg polling station the commission includes all seven polar stations, including the northernmost russian antarctic station belingshausen, but. Almost 2,000 people can leave their votes on ships at polar stations, i dont know how the turnout is today, but in st. Petersburg we are working on one from the central polling stations, today voters are quite active, we even saw queues that formed at the polling stations, people really want to come and vote before they go to work, well, at the same polling station today the chairman of the Federation Council of the country cast her vote. In the president ial elections, every vote is important, because in fact , our electoral system is the most transparent, the most democratic, we have direct president ial elections, that is , the direct will of citizens in determining who will be the head of state , in many. Districts of the city, in addition, the director of the state hermitage Mikhail Borisovich pyatrovsky has already cast his vote, he also talked to journalists after he put his ballot in the ballot box, lets lets hear what. Ill add that in the neighboring region of the leningrad region voting is also now actively underway, in total there are 1012 permanent temporary polling stations, in particular one of them is open in the border town of uvangorod for living voters of russian citizens who now live in the baltic countries. Such news from the northern capital. Colleagues, i give you the floor. Yes, dmitry, thank you, Dmitry Akimov, about how voting is going on in st. Petersburg. All data on the progress of the elections is sent to the central election office. Commission, where there is an information center, my colleague dmitry gorn is there, he is also joining the broadcast, dmitry, hello, in a number of regions the first day of voting has already ended, how do they evaluate the procedure . Yuri, good afternoon, but in general , in those regions where voting has already ended, according to preliminary estimates, everything went as usual, however , we plan to clarify detailed information in the very near future, but for now, lets talk about everything in order, due to opacity and imagine being undemocratic. Or office for Democratic Institutions and human rights the osce was not invited to work in the president ial elections of the russian federation, this was announced at the international conference, electoral sovereignty and international standards, which are taking place in the Central Election Commission at these moments, said chairman ella pomfilova. Nevertheless, as you know, foreign experts from 106 countries are taking part in observing the elections to this company this year; thats 706 people, and all of them have the unconditional right to choose. Absolutely any area on the territory countries, it is obvious that this Years Campaign is taking place under unprecedented pressure, the west literally does not want to see russia strong and is doing everything to interfere and discredit the elections, including putting pressure on these same International Experts who came here to monitor the quality of ensuring democratic rights , despite the colossal pressure. Not far away, as soon as this morning i read these convulsive hysterical spells with threats, and god forbid they wave a finger there, western give a thumbs up to our colleagues abroad, and god forbid you go there somewhere to our new constituent entities of the russian federation, and god forbid even to the crimea of sevastopol, what if you see the truth, what if . Despite all these threats, they have arrived and are ready to go to any subject of the russian federation. And the trouble is that, of course, people ca nt get to work, because they directly hit, a tip, which, based on a tip from the west , basically, of course, they hit the car directly, and some, excuse me, immoral, western official wags his finger at the observer , look at the work of ones own hands, but i must say that the west is probably making every effort. Polling stations provocateurs here colleagues report that in a number of regions history has already repeated itself, when they come to literally fill the ballot boxes with green stuff, well, accordingly , this is damage to the ballot papers, in the cycle they reminded that such a crime may face criminal liability, we are now also waiting. Russia is voting in the president ial elections, and together with him we are following what is happening. Alyon, shopping again, gifting on marketplaces with a vtb debit card, cashback 25 .

We pay every hundredth alfabank is the best bank for business this is a proxinoscope, a device that in the 19th century made it possible to make static images moving from this predecessor cinema to todays Box Office Films has a long way to go, like modern russian cinema, which, despite the difficult nineties, managed to transform into a successful business, a good take, lets take it, chief editor, producer, director of photography, director, there is such a tradition in cinema break the plate after. The First Successful shot, so, there is a solution, issue 33, lets go, we have very talented guys, screenwriters, we have talented directors, the potential has not yet been revealed even by 10 . National cinema of russia without American Cinema does an excellent job of existing, both the numbers and the audience speak about this. 50 national films, and if in 2002 the attendance of such films was only 2. 5 million people, then in 2022 they were watched by more than 46 million viewers, the total of last year was more than 91 million people. The scheme works the state lends a helping hand at the start, and at the finish , a successful project not only pays off, but earns money. The natural site is old. Moscow at massfilm, more than 150 films have already been shot here in the open air, and these the scenery saw a period of transformation from a time when film revenues were lower than production costs to the appearance of Box Office Films with Box Office Receipts that now amount to billions of rubles. We wanted to record you in one of the pavilions, but it turned out that everyone is busy, you need to stand in line 23 months in advance, we are going to record an interview in tonatelje. Here, too, we are lucky that everything is free, i think in tomelya it is also busy, someone is filming there too. Eduard ilayan, cofounder and general producer of the studio which already has seven socalled billionaires. Serf was the first to collect more than 3 billion rubles. But the real miracle is the peoples favorite cheburashka, more than 7 billion in russia and the cis. We were lucky, we recorded the interview in the studio where cheburashka was voiced. We sat here as a team, we sat here until the last moment. They wore some adjustments, edits in the first teaser the chebrashka was more puny, small, then here we looked, he was already a little better, yes, yes, at the premiere he was even better, cool, plump, what is it, you can further in what moment without state support, without state support there are a lot of films, in different projects, it varies, sometimes 10 , sometimes 20 , i dont know films that. 70 are even financed by the cinema fund, but what does the cinema fund give , the opportunity to take risks and make big films, because big films move the industry, followed by three or four other medium, small ones, and so on, if you collected a billion, these together collected two more, so it turned out that they collected three what happened 10 years ago, what is now the industry is now challenging itself to work reported with cinemas, with distributors, with distributors, children say well, how did you watch russian cinema, there was no russian cinema, here you see the National Cinema simply would not have survived the october cinema, you know that in my childhood, just trees grew out of it, the film and the sverdlovsk film studio were in a very difficult state, in fact, cinema left the studios, what has changed, that is, how much they used to give to film producers and how much they now earn since 2015 for support. The cinema industry, for film production, for cinema chains, was allocated a little more than 40 billion rubles, and what we see now, now our cinemas earn a little more than 40 billion rubles a year. They often say, well, if there are competitions, well, this is for our own people, well , where will i go, who really are these people, when there were 250 projects, now we are talking about the fact that there are 500 projects at the same time, we are endlessly searching, but. Screenwriters, we are thinking of making a competition like this, in general, when we will not have a specialized education starting from, we will start from the idea that everyone can participate, send and become a screenwriter for the film fund to work for a year. In just one year, Box Office Receipts at russian cinemas increased by 65 , to 40 billion rubles. More spectators means we need more venues; if we compare between 21 and 23 , about 100 new cinemas and more than 80 cinema halls were opened. In which they make money not only from rentals; if you look at the top 10 films on the market, more than half will be domestically produced; since 2017, every year a russian film has become the leader distribution, but what has changed for those who show films . Alexey, good afternoon, in other words, you dont actually earn money from film screenings, from popcorn, for us its every 100 rubles, if you add it all up and divide it, it will be somewhere around that. Behind the counter, the head of one of the largest cinema chains in the country, Alexey Vasyasin did not stand up for filming, he says that knowledge of the audience helps make targeted decisions, in some places they go to see domestic films, and for example, next to ruden they add more bollywood to the repertoire, but real gold lived today in a fairytale universe, several tickets per family. How often russian cinema is shown on this screen, now its probably 80 to 20, as it was before. The longer a film works , the more commercially successful it is from a business point of view, when you have a product that grosses a billion, you begin to believe in yourself, believe in the industry, we need to learn how to shoot in 3d format, make more uniform parokad, but you can collect money not only on january holidays, collect money even in the summer, so there is such a complex work here that. All Industries Need to do it, joining hands there. Another solution that supports not only spectators, but also cinemas the pushkin card. Young people from 14 to 22 years old can apply for it. There are 5,000 rubles on the balance. You can spend two on movie tickets. In total , more than 10 million cards have already been issued. How to get such a free pass to a movie show . Download the state Services Culture app. Go through authorization using your Government Services account and issue a card. When young people get the opportunity to spend two out of 500 rubles of a pushkin card in a cinema, well , this brought 4 billion rubles to our industry, this is reinvestment money, it also went to production, on the other hand , we got this nuclear audience, very important for us, and this is a very strict viewer , he immediately reads all the reviews , he will decide for himself whether he will go or not, and now he will make a decision about himself, until we have built 1,500 cinema halls as part of the National Project culture, where he will go himself if he lives in municipality with a population of up to 50,000 people, when the nearest cinema is three hours away by train. And if there are only 200 people in the village, for such cases the yakutians have developed their own solution, a projector for showing films, which can be installed, for example, in cultural centers. For 20 years of existence of this. Business invented by the lumiere brothers, in our country, during tsarist times, about one and a half thousand cinemas were created, but what was shown there . They were there, of course, showing some kind of interests, how good actually lives in europe. Lenin knew very well the forces of cinema and nationalized it; i would call this the day our cinema sovereignty began. The whole history of cinema in one scale, the author of the yakut project. In the first year, we founded a state film studio, and this was precisely the period when cinemas began to close throughout the country. We did this for 30 years, which is why we had such success. On the screen is a 3d cartoon from a local studio, just about the yakut winter, a bull of cold. The team has already released two short films and is preparing a third, they are working at the dimensional level. They entered the top three best startups from kolkovo, and are now negotiating with foreign ones. Partners, and also in other languages, when i watched, well, as a child i still remember, some soviet cartoons, i didnt quite understand some details, winter in curdled milk, yes, and i came here myself on skis i came in the winter, but on new years day, and here in the winter on new years day its 50, and the fact that they have such light hats, that is, you went to your parents and asked, mom, why are they dressed like that, mom, i dont want to wear this hat, here they are they wear sports caps, our cartoon came out last year, and it really made a splash, one might say it definitely opened a new page in yagoda animation. Peter and anna are neighbors, their projects are being developed on the same floor in the yakut cluster labor quarter. 75 residents from the Creative Industry already work here. Peter plans to create facilities for assembling his projectors, and annas team found a Recording Studio here, and all participants receive preferences and benefits from a Priority Development territory. These are tax benefits, for example, these are Insurance Benefits contributions are reduced from 30 to 7. 6 , exemption from property tax for a period of 5 years, this gives a tremendous start for the development of small businesses, already in such a mediumsized normal business, highranking guests often come to us, we always present these companies , they receive orders , its interesting to imagine what movie posters would look like if the presenter of the program had a decision to star in the leading role in an adventure film, we change the script, we already have a historical film, although no, now Fairytale Films are very popular among viewers universe, so we change the poster again. In the first 2 months of this year, russian film producers earned approximately half of the record grosses of 2023. But it s not just about money, cinema is one of the most important arts, it gives sadness and joy, develops and entertains viewers, while itself is constantly transforming, a huge world that. We will come back in one of the future releases of the program there is a solution. Crimea and sevastopol return to their native harbor. The residents of sevastopol have decided who they are. Kiev really wanted to show the rebellious peninsula of this crimea. Everywhere they tried to put up barriers for us, everywhere they tried to block crimea from all sides, without exception. In the fifth year of the water blockade of crimea, the handsome uchansos completely dried up, and the water balance of the entire peninsula changed. Its always nice to look at water, especially when its not just water, its your resource for providing the city. Absolutely controlled
