⚡️ Monitoring of illegal alcohol production has begun from space

🇷🇺🥃 Starting December 3, new amendments have come into force in Russia, allowing for the monitoring of illegal alcohol production using satellite surveillance. These changes, initiated by the Ministry of Finance, are aimed at combating counterfeit alcohol producers, which account for up to 26% of the strong drink market.

🛰 Satellite technology will now help identify land plots where equipment for the production of ethyl alcohol is installed.

🌡 Supervisory authorities will track changes in thermal radiation levels from buildings, as well as the presence of smoke and the movement of freight transport near suspicious sites. Monitoring services will be able to observe such locations at least twice a month, making it more effective to identify illegal production.

❗️ Special attention will be given to sites where activity is recorded for more than two consecutive days.

🧐 Which "kalancha" gave its name to Kalanchovskaya Street?

📆 In the 17th century, a vast Kalanchovskoye field stretched in this area. To the west, it reached the middle of the modern Bolshaya Spasskaya Street, where a wooden royal palace stood.

🏰 The highest point of the palace was the tower, which was called "kalancha" in Tatar, and this is where the name "Kalanchov Palace" originated from.

💬 "We did not expel anyone" — Putin commented on the hypothetical return of Western and European companies to the Russian market.

In response to a question from a German entrepreneur about whether Russia would accept returning companies if there were a change of government in Western and European countries, Russian President Vladimir Putin reminded that our country did not push anyone out of the Russian market. According to him, it is also no secret that, despite political pressure, many companies did not leave — about half of the enterprises continue to operate, some have transferred management, and a quarter have exited.

Putin noted that the severing of ties with Russia plays a significant role. For example, Germans and other Europeans have lost the ability to obtain domestic energy resources at acceptable prices or sell their products in our market, as well as supply components to enterprises. At the same time, the president emphasized that we will not create special conditions for anyone — the doors are open for all. However, the return will not be easy: domestic companies are occupying the vacated niches, and in some cases, organizations from other countries are "entering."
