Research Institute-4 or military unit 25840 is located 25 km from the Moscow Kremlin in Yubileiny, the Moscow region. Once here was a flight control centre from where they were watching the flights of the first Earth satellites and the flight of Yuri Gagarin. The flight control centre was moved not far, to Korolev, and in the 1960s the instituted started performing other tasks: mainly at requests of strategic rocket forces. In fact all the

city Yubileiny was built to provide the employees of this institute. In the 1990s it lost its status of "a close military city" and military men started to occupy empty laboratory buildings of the institute. Let's see how officers' families live. Journalists, bloggers, press office of RF Ministry of Defense do not come here and do not show how live those who work for the Russian space-rocket field.

"Sevastopol's City Hospital №1 named after Nikolay Pirogov is one of the most powerful medical institutions created in Ukraine. It includes a hospital with 792 beds, 4 outpatient clinics and the department of family medicine" - these words can be read on the official site of the hospital on the Internet. This summer, the hospital was visited by the Prime Minister of Ukraine. He was quite horrified by that what he saw. He said: "Most of

the buildings of the hospital were built in the 19th century, after the war. Wards are in a terrible condition! It seems that since the battle of Sevastopol nothing has changed here!"

Even the ancient Greeks believed that substance consists of tiny particles called atoms. The word "atom" means "indivisible" in Greek. However, with the development of science, it became clear that neither an atom, nor a proton and neutron are truly elementary particles. They consist of the

smaller ones - quarks. Then neutrinos and antiprotons were discovered and now science knows about 400 different particles. To study their qualities and structures the mankind invented a very smart device - a collider. Let's look at some of them and learn how they function.

It's difficult to imagine a more inaccessible place for photographers. And there really is something to marvel at - a magnificent building, covert rituals, a beautiful atrium, secret electronic

Since early childhood everyone knows that substance can exist in three states: solid, liquid and gas. A perfect example of it is ordinary water. We can observe it in all the three states in our daily life (especially in a kitchen). However, there exists another state

which is called plasma... The Novosibirsk Institute of Nuclear Physics is one of the world's leaders in studying plasma. They have some very interesting setups, so-called "plasma traps". Let's see how they work and what they are needed for.
