There has been a howl on the Internet for several months now. The Moscow authorities want to demolish the “Khrushchev” and unlucky “Stalin” buildings in order to build new houses in their place. Residents of old neighborhoods are worried that they will be settled somewhere far from the center, and they will not be able to go to their favorite park or take their child to school, where three generations of the family have already attended school. The prospect of moving from Vernadsky Avenue somewhere to the terrible Butovo, where, as you know, only drunken rednecks live, is terrifying. In general, there is no limit to the Chekist abomination.

The renovation has many supporters. Indeed, how much joy is there in living in a rundown shack with a leaking roof and a small kitchen? And the authorities promise something more decent, and even with repairs. After all, a five-story panel building is really a hut on chicken legs. There's a lot engineering solutions, excluding the possibility of normal repair. And there were no plans to repair them. We thought that a bright tomorrow would come, we would move people into palaces, and we would take these chicken coops to the famous mother.

Renovation does not concern me, so I will not fit in with either “for” or “against”. But it’s strange to me - why doesn’t anyone ask why the authorities suddenly decided to stir up this project right now? Well, not out of love for your people, right? And why muddy the waters before the presidential elections?

The answer to this question will surprise you a little. And you will be surprised - how did you not think of such a simple thing?

The construction industry is officially 3% of GDP modern Russia. In fact, much more, because it supports transportation, the service sector, advertisers, financiers, importers of construction and finishing materials, designers, repairmen, etc. and so on. I think the total gain will be 7-8 percent. It's a lot. A lot of. When Country's GDP falls by 3%, which doesn’t seem like much to anyone. A drop of 7% is a disaster. Over the nineties, Russia's GDP decreased by 46%, that is, an average of 4.6% per year. Remember what it was like?

Since the early nineties, real estate prices in Russia have been rising. They jumped especially strongly at the beginning of the 2000s. I bought my first apartment in Moscow for a thousand dollars per square meter, and everyone told me – you’re crazy, it’s insanely expensive, don’t rush, it’ll get cheaper soon. What is typical is that when a few years later I bought a second apartment in the same area, where a square meter already cost four thousand, no one talked about the high cost. On the contrary, they were surprised how they managed to find such profitable proposition. In Saratov the growth was in the same proportion.

Naturally, demand generated supply. And in the regions, and, especially, in Moscow. A lot of money was invested in the construction industry. Created production capacity, equipment was purchased, people were hired. Now only in Moscow there are about two dozen factories of reinforced concrete products. You can count it yourself - how many there are in the Moscow region.

The industry has been operating at capacity for two decades. And somewhere in 2014, when the Olympics ended, everything began to end. It began to end back in 2012-2013, but then there were hopes for a revival after Sochi. Hopes were not justified.

And then it suddenly became clear that housing in Russia could not only become more expensive, but also cheaper. And not only in dollar terms, in which prices are simply fucked up, but even in ruble terms. And not somewhere in Penza or Astrakhan, but in Moscow. Right here in the Mother See.

And they began to fall in price because effective demand ended. Well, people don't have that kind of crazy money to spend... square meters. No - and that's it. Everyone who could somehow have already bought it. There will be a few more lucky ones - they will also buy. But the majority of the population is not in danger of buying a house. Sorry for being so blunt. So this nice, smooth price reduction didn’t really bother anyone. Roughly speaking, the price was before the Sun, now it is up to Venus. But people are not even capable of reaching the moon. They don’t take it - that’s all.

The state has been quietly feeding builders for a long time. I travel a lot around Russian cities. There are entire blocks of housing there, built with government guarantees. An amazing sight, especially in the evening. There is a domina with 10 entrances and 20 floors, and it has been standing for a long time, about five years. And two windows in it are on fire. There are hundreds of available apartments, but the prices are such that even a proud resident of the capital would be overwhelmed. Locals won’t buy this at all. Because whoever has money would rather take it in the Moscow region. The prices are the same. And the developer, in general, doesn’t care. A few residents patiently pay for the utilities of the entire house. But the developer himself received the money from the state, and no one really forces him to return it. You can give a couple of apartments to beneficiaries - and everything is fine.

There are also many such houses in the Moscow region. They are building something, but the houses stand empty. The rich regionals have disappeared somewhere, and the locals are not very wealthy either. You know, it’s very sad to live in a house where your apartment is the only living one on three surrounding floors. Yes, and it’s downright dangerous. So, it’s not just that people are buying housing; on the contrary, they are trying to escape.

Of course, you can continue to build boxes with government money. But even our good state began to understand that this was simply burying money in the ground. They built a box, and it was like a cobblestone gurgling into a swamp. There aren't even any circles on the water. It stands empty, the economy is neither hot nor cold from it.

Yes, as property taxes and utility prices rose, investment apartments began to be sold. People want to have fun. And these are hundreds of apartments in Moscow alone. And thousands in the Moscow region.

In this situation, it’s clear that building with such reserves of unsold meters is a little naive.

So what should we do? Don't build? Ask the builders to relax? We have capitalism, right? The invisible hand of the market will come and fix everything in the best possible way.

Not so.

Let’s say some trust stopped building houses. He sent the workers home. The workers are sad. Not everyone will be sad about drinking vodka. Some may choose to do something less socially safe.

The reinforced concrete plant, where the trust bought reinforced concrete structures, will stand up. The workers also go home. Well, or not at home. And they say it is almost impossible to revive a plant of this type that has stopped working after mothballing. It's easier to build a new one.

Friendly transport workers will stand up. Neighbors will stand up. Repair companies will stop. Banks will not lend to the trust and issue mortgage loans. Already issued loans will freeze. And so on. Use your imagination.

That is, roughly speaking, even stopping the work of one developer will indirectly lead to the fact that tens of thousands of people (including families) will suddenly find themselves without a livelihood. This happened before, but due to inhuman hunger, staffing was decided upon in a matter of days. And now everything is a little different.

What if not one developer fails, but five at once? Or ten?

What if we imagine that this has already begun on a national scale?

The renovation program is, in fact, the only option to save the construction industry and everyone who lives off it. The only reasonable one.

The state actually builds new buildings at its own expense. But he doesn’t leave them standing empty, but populates them with people. They will settle in a new place, new businesses will appear, people will make repairs, buy furniture, etc.

Old houses need to be demolished - these are jobs.

In their place, it is necessary to lay new communications - these are jobs.

We need to build new houses - these will create jobs.

Selling housing and premises in old Moscow is much easier than in an open field. This means the same scheme – new businesses, new loans, new movements in the economy.

And this is a long-term story. For 15 years, maybe more. During this time, the construction industry and everyone around it will have something to do. It is important.

And it is quite normal that the state acts as an instigator and sponsor. That’s why it is, in general, a state, to prevent crises. It does not always work. But it looks like it will work out here.

It has been said more than once that this is a pilot project and it can spread to the regions. I'm sure it will spread. Because there is no choice. The shutdown of one reinforced concrete plant in Moscow is a wasp sting. The same plant in Astrakhan stood up - like a crowbar to the head. Nobody needs this. By the way, the situation with Khrushchev-era buildings in the regions is thinner, and they were often built more reliably. My grandmother had an apartment in the Saratov version - there were walls made of brick and a meter thick. It will stand for a hundred years. Therefore, attention will most likely be paid to dilapidated housing and the private sector in city centers.

The economy needs to be revived. And it is enlivened everywhere by precisely such projects. Not as beautiful as the introduction of nanotechnology in robotics. But noticeably more effective.

You may say, but someone is going to make a lot of money out of this whole renovation! Of course it will cook. And you can’t even imagine how good it is. But they will cook in any case, no doubt about it. This is their job. But only here - in a good situation - will the whole country share in the profits.

Well, for a housewarming party.

Sexual gestures - wordless body language
When communicating, people primarily perceive verbal information. However, it only seems so to them. In fact, we perceive much more information not through speech.

Secret body language and gestures
There is a so-called body language, which not everyone can read, but which can tell more about a person than the smartest and most cunning phrases. Words convey only information
relationships create nonverbal communication opportunities. The secret of body language is that a person “speaks” it subconsciously. If you can think through any phrases, change the acute moments in them and always be diplomatic when necessary, then our gestures ingeniously reveal all our true intentions. Few of us know how to read sign language. And sometimes it can be very, very useful.

The secret meaning of body language
It has been proven that people pay much more attention to gestures than to facial expressions and even words. With their help, we perceive about 55% of the information we need. For comparison, words account for only 7%! Reading and interpreting sign language occurs unconsciously and often the source of the information that has reached understanding remains a mystery. The fact is that the body does not know how to lie. Gestures show our interlocutor our true mood, state and attitude towards others. Body language is a strong psychological weapon, charged with personal energy. They are able to penetrate any armor and help you achieve success. In our country, body language is not taught either at school or at universities, except in special courses for specialized specialists. In the West, studying habits in the field of gestures is mandatory for almost all specialists working with people, starting with middle managers

An authoritative view of the essence of the phenomenon
Freud argued that people are controlled by secret desires. Many of them have to be suppressed due to the boundaries of decency or the peculiarities of the social situation. However, echoes of hidden feelings find their way out. These are our facial expressions, gestures, postures and habits. Beginning scientific research non-verbal channels of communication between people were initiated by Charles Darwin's work “The Expression of Emotions in Men and Animals”. It is characteristic that the title of the work absolutely accurately indicates the nature of the appearance and manifestation of body language. He is akin to animal instincts, which is why he is so honest.

The role of sign language
Gestures can play roles that are diametrically opposed in meaning. They can reinforce what we say or contradict what we say. Understanding body language makes it possible to prevent others from reading more information from us than we feel it necessary to share with them. On the other hand, it helps us to be more critical of those who try to mislead us. With all this, the main thing that needs to be understood is that it is impossible to learn all the gestures and their meanings. However, theoretically, this may be real. However, this is not what gives the key to understanding others. The most important thing is to be able to notice gestures and changes in their nature during communication. It is precisely such changes that indicate a change in the intentions and moods of our interlocutors.

Body language: main types of gestures and poses
Exists general classification gestures, the understanding of which provides the key to unraveling many mysteries of human nature. Here are some of them.
Gestures of openness, which include open palms and uncrossed arms and legs, indicate the friendliness of the interlocutor and his disposition to communicate with you.
Defense Gestures ( clenched fists, arms crossed on the chest) indicate that a person feels insecure in this situation and with gestures sends a message about the barriers that exist between him and his environment. In such a situation, it is better not to try to have confidential conversations, but to try to win over your counterpart first (if, of course, you need this).
Gestures of secrecy (covering your mouth with your hand, looking to the side) indicate that the person is trying to stop communicating because he is uncomfortable with you.
Gestures of dominance (when shaking hands, the hand is placed on top of yours, hands casually thrust into pockets when talking) indicate that you are clearly underestimated.
Gestures of authoritarianism (hands behind your back, chin raised) indicate that the interlocutor is trying to suppress you. Try to physically take a place so that you are higher than him - this will equalize your chances of winning the argument.
Gestures of self-control (hands clenched behind the back or clutching the armrest of a chair) reveal that a person is nervous and is trying to hide it.

Men's body language
The paradox of men's body language is that, despite its reserve and even rudeness, it produces a very strong impression on women. Much more powerful than what women's body language can produce on men. Famous seducers used this. Men who know how to play with body language woo women much faster. This trick can be compared to the mating games of animals dancing in front of the females. Despite the exaggeration of such a comparison, it perfectly reflects the essence of the phenomenon. A typical Don Juan, at the sight of a woman he likes, dilates his pupils, turns his entire body towards the “possible prey”, he can smooth his hair or put his hands on his hips. The last gesture leaves no doubt about his intentions.

Women's body language
Women feel more relaxed in the area of gesturing. They are not shy about unnecessary movements and often use them deliberately in order to make the right impression on others, and in particular men. However, you should not have any illusions about the fact that men are able to perceive these gestures correctly. Usually they interpret these to the extent that they are aware of their meaning, and do not perceive them subconsciously at all. That is, they correctly interpret the gestures of the so-called “preening”, swaying their hips and other “tricks” from the arsenal of seduction. Gestures, which are evidence of more subtle intentions and sensations, remain completely incomprehensible to men.
Now you have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with some features relating to the sexual behavior of women and men. This knowledge will help you in all situations where you need to communicate with the opposite sex - from the office to a romantic party.

Don't be surprised if you recognize yourself in what you read. Perhaps you will see how you yourself misunderstood the actions of the opposite sex, caused yourself to suffer mentally and upset others. It is no secret that an incorrect understanding of male and female behavior leads to emotional conflicts and mental devastation. Now you can do something about it.

There are gender characteristics in the sexual gestures of women and men. If a man, as a rule, wants to please one specific woman, then a woman often wants to please all the men present. There are a lot of sexual gestures. Most of them have their analogues in the animal world and were inherited from our monkey ancestors.

The following sexual gestures are typical for a woman:

Feeling a man's gaze, he makes a movement with his hand to straighten his clothes,
hairstyle, smooth your hair or just touch it.
A sudden movement of the head to throw hair from the face or shoulders to the back. Even women with short hair instinctively use this gesture.
Periodically raising the head, and then slightly tilting it to the side.
While walking, your back is straight, your chest is forward, and your hips sway rhythmically.
In a sitting position, slowly cross and straighten your legs.
Stroking the calf, knee, thigh with your hand.
Legs slightly spread, regardless of the woman’s position (standing or sitting).
Crossed ankles.
Slowly crossing your legs and slowly returning.
In a sitting position, one leg is bent under you - this pose seems to say to the man: “I feel comfortable in your presence.”
The swinging of the shoes on the tips of the toes also indicates that the woman is comfortable around this man.
With these movements, the toe of the shoe or the tip of the knee is directed towards the person in whom she is showing interest.
Showing wrist - woman interested in potential sexual partner, will periodically show him the smooth delicate skin of her wrists.
An intimate look, as well as a slightly sideways look combined with a smile.
Smiles slightly, then lowers his eyelids and looks to the side (“coquette look”).
Slightly open mouth, wet lips.
Quiet low voice.
Stroking an object cylindrical(cigarettes, glass stems).
If a woman really likes a man, she, as if by chance, tries to sit closer to him than to the others.
When talking to him, he leans forward more than a man.
Interest is indicated by eye contact when a woman sits in front of a man and looks him straight in the eyes. (can sometimes also be interpreted as hostile and aggressive behavior).

Looking at herself in the mirror in the presence of a man: turning or looking at herself from the side, constantly spinning in front of the mirror, even if she is talking on the phone.
Demonstrative use of lipstick in the presence of men (instinctive imitation of the reddened labia of a sexually excited woman).

Men have their own sexual gestures:
The legs are spread wide apart, regardless of whether the man is standing or sitting. It is clearly visible on the subway, where men, especially young ones, often sit opposite women with their legs spread wide apart (showing the female the genital area is a biological instinct in many primates).
The gaze does not stop at the face, but glides over the woman’s entire body, “undressing” it (intimate gaze).
Palms lie on hips.
The thumbs are tucked into a belt (waistband) or sticking out of the pockets of a jacket, trousers, or jacket.
He straightens his hair, tie, shirt collar, jacket lapels with his hand, and touches his throat.
When a woman appears, she straightens her shoulders, plays with her muscles, and stretches.
The chin moves up and down.
Stirs drinks with his whole hand from the shoulder - as if he is kneading clay
Walks back and forth.
In a sitting position, the legs are extended.
Sexual gestures common to men and women are:
Putting your thumbs in your belt or purse, or in your pockets.
One or both hands on your hips.
The legs are spread wider than usual.
An extended intimate glance or a sideways glance.
If a person's pupils dilate when looking at you, it means he likes you; if they narrow, you have no chance.
The first eye-to-eye glance lasts no more than 4-5 seconds, after which the gaze drops lower.
Women mainly look at the shoulders and arms, and if possible, then at the legs and buttocks. Men first evaluate the entire figure, the style of clothing and, finally, their gaze falls on the chest, then on the waist and hips.
Increased eye contact (more than two-thirds of communication time).
General revitalization, increased muscle tone, straightening of the body when an object of interest appears.
When an object of interest invades an intimate area, the body does not move away.
When future lovers feel comfortable together, they turn towards each other in such a way that the lines of their shoulders are parallel.
Copying gestures of an object of interest. He crosses his legs and so does she; She leans to the left - so does he; he smoothes his hair - she repeats his gesture. At the same time, they move in a common rhythm and look into each other’s eyes. The listed sexual gestures can be demonstrated to several potential partners at the same time, then their response signals are recorded. Often, from among possible partners, the one who makes the most reciprocal sexual gestures is chosen. The choice occurs unconsciously: you simply begin to like the more “responsive” partner more than others.
Not all men and not all women behave this way. This list- this is general information. This is what the so-called reflects. average statistical norm: a pattern of behavior typical of most men and most women. At the same time, the behavior of a particular individual may deviate significantly from the standard model.

As Echo notes, this list is certainly incomplete and will be updated.

Let us remind you that the total death toll in southwest Thailand is growing. By latest information Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, it reached 1 thousand 543 people, about 9 thousand people were injured and injured.

Former Novosibirsk police officer Sergeant Evgeny Chuplinsky was convicted of murdering 19 women, mostly prostitutes. Most of them remained unidentified and, most likely, the serial killer has many more victims. Chuplinsky himself admitted that he killed 29 women, but investigators believe that in reality there were more murders. Details bloody history correspondent Igor Nadezhdin found out about a Siberian murderer who committed crimes in his free time from duty.

At the very least

On March 6 at 12:28, judge of the Novosibirsk Regional Court Lyudmila Bilyukova announced a short, only two-page verdict: “Based on the decision of the jury, which on February 28 unanimously found 52-year-old pensioner Evgeny Chuplinsky guilty and not deserving of leniency, the accused was sentenced to life imprisonment imprisonment."

The investigation was able to prove that between 1998 and 2004 the man killed and dismembered 19 women. 12 of his victims remained unidentified; the rest are reliably known to have made a living from prostitution.

Local journalists call Chuplinsky the “Novosibirsk Jack the Ripper”, drawing an analogy with the one who acted in late XIX century in London by a maniac who remained unknown. But the comparison is not entirely correct: the London “Leather Apron” (another little-known nickname for the killer in Russia) cut the throats of his victims and then opened them abdominal cavity, studying the insides. Chuplinsky strangled his victims, and then dismembered them and scattered fragments of their bodies in different areas of Novosibirsk and its environs.

Only eight names appear in the indictment: the rest of the unfortunates remained nameless: ... Neither the killer himself nor the relatives of the missing women identified the bodies.

The remains of Chuplinsky's first victim were discovered on November 19, 1998. For the first two years after this, the investigation of all criminal cases initiated after the discovery of dismembered corpses was conducted separately and was often suspended by district prosecutors. And if no vital organs were found, for example, only a leg or an arm were found, then local prosecutors sometimes simply refused to initiate a criminal case. But by 2000 it became clear: the city was operating Serial killer. Then the local criminal investigation department created a permanent active group to study these crimes. But this was clearly a half-measure: criminal cases were still in the prosecutor's offices of different districts, and were often suspended. The reason is simple: none of the leadership of the region’s law enforcement agencies wanted to admit that they had a maniac at work.
