Krasnoyarsk feels like Florence in some ways. It can be admired from lovely observation decks on the hills. There is a picture-perfect river that divides the city, although the Yenisei is three times wider than the Arno. Beautiful natural surroundings literally embrace the residential areas. It takes up to thirty minutes to reach the ski slopes. When locals are asked, "Where is the taiga?", they smile and point to the nearby woods.

The Russian embassy did not remain aloof from the tragedy in Ecuador, sending funds to help the affected residents to the Cecilia humanitarian fund. Ecuadorian volunteers providing assistance to the victims of the landslide thanked Russia for the donated money, which was used to purchase food and basic necessities.

Russia regularly provides charitable assistance to various countries. The help includes both support after natural disasters and systematic assistance under the UN World Food Programme. At the end of May, Russia handed over almost 1,000 tons of split peas to Mali. Previously, Moscow sent agricultural products and fertilizers to different countries of the world.

Rasul Gamzatov, a nationally acclaimed Avar poet, was born on September 8, 1923, 100 years ago. He was the author of "Cranes", perhaps the most touching song lyrics about war and fallen soldiers. Mr. Gamzatov did not write in Russian. Thus, we know his poetry through translations of other Russian poets. Nevertheless, one of his friends said, "Translators are unable to think up anything here".
