Праздники на Кавказе отмечают независимо от религиозной принадлежности

Несмотря на то, что Рождество - это, по сути, христианский праздник, отмечаемый в большинстве стран мира 25 декабря, на Кавказе этот день стали празднуют независимо от их религиозной принадлежности. Христиане на Кавказе, в основном в Армении и Грузии, следуют православным традициям и отмечают Рождество в районе 6 января. Но активизация связей с западом, которые мы наблюдаем в последние три десятилетия привели к росту тенденции празднования Рождества 25 декабря.

Новый же год празднуют все. Во время коммунистов это был официальный праздник и очень важный. Коммунистов давно уже нет, но традиция празднования сохранилась, и в Азербайджане, также как и на Северном Кавказе новогодние торжества становятся все более изощренными из года в год. Те, кому не хватило этих праздников имеют повод продолжить до 14 января - Старый Новый год, что по юлианскому календарю (по старому стилю) Новый год.

Поэтому для многих, независимо от их веры или идеологии, это время празднований. И кому как ни детям они несут больше всего удовольствия, как мы это видим на фотографии, сделанной в канун нового года в Грозном.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
