Nina Kurbatkina, a retiree from Novosibirsk, has become an internet sensation due to her videos filmed at the zoo. Born in Rostov-on-Don, she moved to Novosibirsk in 1983 after graduating from a construction university. She worked as a cost estimator for 30 years, including on the South Sakhalin Zoo project.

A bill has been introduced to the State Duma to create a presidential ombudsman for the protection of the rights of the disabled in Russia, along with corresponding regional structures. However, the government believes this is unnecessary, stating that the protection of the rights of the disabled is already carried out by state bodies, coordination and advisory bodies, as well as civil society institutions and officials. The article also tells the story of Ekaterina Aronova from Novosibirsk, a mother of triplets with cerebral palsy, who has been navigating life's challenges since her husband Boris Aronov's death, ensuring her children lead a fulfilling life with the help of governors funded by her late husband's business partners.

Siberian engineers have completed the colossal task of restoring a legendary MiG-3 fighter jet, which took to the skies in Novosibirsk. The aircraft, similar to the one flown by Lieutenant Pashkov during the winter of 1941 to combat German bombers near Moscow, was reconstructed from wreckage that lay in a swamp near Tver for over half a century. The restoration process involved meticulous work, including studying old blueprints and photographs. The Federation of Aviation Restorers of Russia, led by President Boris Osetinsky, sees this as a connection between generations and a prelude to a larger project to create a national collection of flying aircraft to potentially participate in the Victory Parade over Red Square.

A unique expedition in the Irkutsk taiga, covered by the First Channel and involving the newspaper 'Komsomolskaya Pravda', investigates the 'Patomsky crater', a mysterious natural object that has puzzled scientists for over half a century. The crater, known as the 'Nest of the Fire Eagle' by the Yakuts for over a century, shows unusually low levels of radioactivity, contradicting theories of uranium deposits or nuclear testing in the region. The main hypothesis considers the impact of a cosmic body. The expedition faces challenges such as harsh weather, difficult terrain, and a history of sudden deaths among locals, including the leader of the first expedition to the crater, Evgeny Vorobyov. Technical equipment also malfunctioned during the expedition. The investigation raises more questions than answers about the secrets of the 'Nest of the Fire Eagle'.
