Assembly of a new wintering complex for the Vostok station began in Antarctica

In Antarctica, the assembly of a new wintering complex for the Vostok station has begun. According to the press service of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, the base platform is currently being assembled.

The new station will be located on a specially prepared foundation made of compacted snow. The foundation was being prepared for three seasons using a specially developed technology. The result was a slab 200 long, 120 wide and 3 meters thick. On this pillow, the builders have already installed 36 special supports 3 meters high, on which the station will be located. Currently, the installation of the base of the wintering complex is underway, the work has been completed by a third. It is planned to complete the installation of the base platform by the end of this season.

The new wintering complex was delivered to Antarctica in December last year. 133 modules, as well as fuel and equipment, were delivered to Antarctica by the ships Cape Dezhnev, Yaroslav Mudry, Kapitan Khlebnikov and Andrey Osipov. The cargo was placed in the area of ​​the Russian station "Progress", from where it is delivered by sledge-caterpillar trains to the area of ​​the station "Vostok", the cargo covers a distance of 1460 km. To date, 5 trips have been completed, two more trains are currently on the way and two are planned. At the 550 km and 1100 km marks, additional bases with fuel for tractors were made. Four years are allotted for the movement of the entire complex and assembly, since work can be carried out during the favorable season, and this is December-February in Antarctica, and it is impossible to carry out work the rest of the time.

After assembly, the complex will replace the outdated 1957 assembly and allow scientists to conduct research in comfortable conditions. The station will stand on 36 pylons 3 meters high, which will allow it to remain uncovered for many years. All systems have double or triple redundancy, a two-year supply of fuel and products is provided.

The new Vostok station complex will provide comfortable work for scientists in Antarctica for 15 people for the winter and 35 people for the season.

Yes Yes. And judging by the beggars on the streets, everyone is starving and dying. That's just 99% of beggars are very serious business on the kindness of people. And I have a suspicion that the "advertising" you mention is from the same series. Because they would have been cured three times already for the cost of advertising airtime.
But in any case, this does not detract from the feat of those people who work in Antarctica

That is, this is all an insidious deception, there are no sick kids?!

I apologize in advance to my colleagues for digressing from the topic ...
Let's get a look :
Firstly, strange as it may seem, there is a shortage of advertising time on TV, that is, demand exceeds supply. Surprisingly with the spread of the Internet....
Over the past two years, advertising has risen in price from 36 to 120%, depending on the region(s) of placement.
Taking into account the fact that most people ask for treatment from 1 million rubles. up to 11 million rubles
in 2019 it was like this (cost for distribution to the Moscow Region)
Channel 1: 91 videos of 10 seconds from 6,5 million rubles
Russia 1: 182 videos of 10 sec. from 7 million rubles
NTV: harder, they offer package deals from 3.4 million rubles.
Multiply the rise in price by the amounts yourself and estimate how much money the "relatives of the patients" throw in or how much money (in the case of free accommodation) the channels lose, you can certainly carry out more than one operation and save not by units, but by hospital departments.
And so I have a VERY strong suspicion that this is just a swindle of people for money. My friend, with real health problems, having thrown a cry on Instagram and VKontakte, in four months raised money not only for a prosthesis, but also for a one-room apartment in a regional city, although she insisted on returning money to people (according to her) ...
PS I want to say, I do not urge NOT to help people. Let's just say I, for myself, decided to help more purposefully, directly in my city and meeting with a person. So, it seems to me, it will be more honest for them, but for me it’s calmer

There it is like ... but we thought ... but it is like that. And how do you like the fact that money for the treatment of children is collected in all countries?

[Yarhann]

collecting dough through TV and radio advertising, through SMS, etc. is still big business, and you just can’t get into it. this is a symbiosis of ordinary street beggars (their beneficiaries) and their modern heirs with the involvement of the media, the Internet, etc. Yes, sometimes there are projects (start-ups) that really take helping a sick child as the basis of their business (they take mostly children because they are more pitiful) and organize an advertising campaign around him, Internet, TV, radio, the press - after which the painstaking work of collecting the dough begins . It goes without saying that most of the dough goes into the pocket of the organizers of this startup, but sometimes they give a little to that same child. But as a rule, all this is a common scam for grandmas.
The media and the Internet make it possible to simply collect loot from a much larger audience, that's all. It's just a business, charity there is 0.0%.

[Ponchik78]

This is not an assumption, everything is completely official there, a certain percentage goes to the income of the fund for its maintenance. With the one I came across, he was regional, it was 30% of the cost of treatment

Wow how are you running...

Putin, by the way, offered to send money from the "luxury tax" for the treatment of children

This fund is up and running. And 20% listed for private funds spent "for themselves" is also a fact.
I'm wondering, this problem has always been, even in Soviet times. How much did you personally transfer to the Gorbachev Foundation (a purely private foundation)? For the same kids? And where are those yours listed.

It really is. How many times has this happened to me. They call and offer to help children, low-income families, etc. by transferring amounts to their funds. I agree and offer to give the address, phone number, etc. of a particular family, child, to provide targeted assistance to those in direct need. This is followed by persuasion that through their fund it will be better, but with my persistence, interest in me is lost.

[Ponchik78]

The activities of charitable foundations have nothing to do with the Ministry of Health.

There are many questions about these collections. Especially in terms of treatment abroad and the amounts required for this. The late Anton Nosik once wrote about this.

And there are funds for Tajik children.
Russia has allocated an additional $2 million for lunches for half a million Tajik schoolchildren.

Caring for the younger generation of friendly Tajikistan is one of our priorities: Russia has already allocated more than $82 million for the School Feeding Program in the republic in the spirit of alliance and strategic partnership

Earlier it was reported that Russia will spend 150 million dollars
for the construction of 5 schools in Tajikistan.

Advertising for sick children, and even through central channels, is a big and cynical business. Ask if there are entire schools teaching how to do this. There, the child receives 1 percent from television collections, the rest goes to foundations and other intermediaries.

Another big question is what the money is collected for, because 2/3 of the required operations are quietly done with us and much cheaper. What do foreigners actually use.

It is clear that "recycle", money just does not pay.
Judging by the photo, outwardly the design remained German. The interiors may have been redrawn and painted with a different paint. This is an engineering design, not an architectural one, the main engineers in the project, not interior designers.
