Hello everyone, this is Yaroslava and this is a channel for those who study the Russian language.
And on this channel, of course, we talk about the Russian language in the Russian language and read the news
to understand what and how the speakers speak and to speak better and easier and more effectively and more freely in Russian.
Today I want to talk about an event that happened more than 10 years ago.
Perhaps you have already seen this video and understand what is happening here, and if not, then you will now find out.
Eleven years ago, on February 15, 2013, a meteorite fell in Chelyabinsk.
Chelyabinsk is a city in Russia.
And now I will show you where it is.
So, this is Buenos Aires.
And Chelyabinsk is here.
So, this is Chelyabinsk, the 8th largest city in the Russian Federation.
That is, it is a big city.
It is located near Yekaterinburg.
Perhaps you have heard.
Here is Kazan.
So, this is Izhevsk.
Chelyabinsk.
So, where is Moscow?
God, how big you are.
So, here is Moscow, here is Chelyabinsk.
Not close at all.
It was here that this event happened.
A meteorite fell here.
And we are now going to read this article.
I specifically chose this article, because there are a lot of cool and interesting words here.
To remember all these words, to repeat all these words,
download the free PDF file, the link is in the description.
And the last one.
I invite you to my Telegram channel.
There I talk not only about the news that I make videos about, but also about other news.
And not only about the news, but in general, we started to talk actively there, so I invite you there.
By tradition, I will read this article, then we will analyze it from start to finish.
And then I will read it a second time.
And you will be surprised how much better you understand the context, how much better you understand the text.
Well, let's get started.
Yes, the article is not small.
But on this channel, we have all the videos for a long time.
On this channel, we probably don't have short videos.
To be honest, because I myself don't like short videos.
The usual videos that I watch on YouTube are from half an hour, I just listen to them in the background.
Therefore, if you are busy with something, you can just turn it on as a podcast.
I also want to add that there are a lot of numerals in this article.
Therefore, if you want to practice repeating numerals, this article is for you.
Let's get started.
The Chelyabinsk meteorite celebrates its first anniversary.
The Chelyabinsk meteorite turned 10 years old.
According to the correspondent of RIA Noviy Den,
on the morning of February 15, 2013,
at about 9 hours 20 minutes local time, a meteorite exploded in the sky in Chelyabinsk.
Many people saw its entrance into the atmosphere.
A mass of residents of the western and northern parts of the Chelyabinsk region
reported that they saw with their own eyes
how a glowing ball flew from the north-west to the south-east in the direction of Chelyabinsk.
Scientists, as well as residents of the eastern and southern regions,
areas adjacent to them, other regions,
swear that the meteorite flew from the south-east to the north-west.
In other words, if you believe the eyewitnesses,
the meteorite flew simultaneously from two directly opposite ends of the world
towards itself.
Scientists tried to explain this with visual distortions
and insisted on the south-east version.
And residents of the northern and western parts of the region,
seeing that a fireball flew to Chelyabinsk, but not from it,
came to the conclusion that two celestial bodies collided.
But their version of the official confirmation did not work.
Ten areas of the southern Urals were affected by the Chelyabinsk bolide.
Three of them, Korkinsky, Krasnoarmeysky and Uvelsky,
were in an emergency mode.
The number of victims by the end of the day reached 985 people.
More than 200 of them were children.
Forty-three people were hospitalized.
Two were in critical condition.
154 buildings of 93 medical institutions were damaged.
In total, about 170,000 square meters of glass were knocked out in the area.
In Chelyabinsk, 2,962 buildings were damaged in one way or another.
Windows and doors were mostly knocked out.
Ventilation systems were damaged.
34 medical institutions and 361 kindergartens and schools were destroyed in the area.
Later, scientists recognized the Chelyabinsk meteorite
as the largest meteorite to fall to Earth in the last 100 years.
And reported that its diameter was only 15-17 meters.
It weighed 100,000 tons, and its explosion was estimated at 500 kilotons.
This is more than 20 times more powerful than the bomb in Hiroshima.
Only 10% of the celestial alien fell to Earth.
Everything else, dust and gas, dissolved and melted.
The largest shrapnel was lifted in the fall of 2013.
Almost from the very beginning, the meteorite has become a commercial product.
All shopping malls immediately flooded with ads for the sale of shrapnel.
The largest, weighing 3.4 kilograms, was tried to sell for more than 2 million rubles.
On foreign sites, a fragment weighing 27.1 grams was sold for $ 1,097.5.
But by the first anniversary of the fall of the meteorite, the prices for its remains have fallen five times.
There are still a lot of similar offers on the Internet.
The price depends on the greed of the seller.
For example, there may be ads for the sale of a fragment weighing 60 grams for 55,000
rubles and a fragment weighing 150 grams for 1,000 rubles.
As a result, the Chelyabinsk meteorite was immortalized in scientific literature, poems and drawings.
It also got into the cinema.
Footage of the Chelyabinsk meteorite fall was used by Hollywood directors in the films
War of the Worlds and The Edge of the Future.
In the South Ural, in the meantime, an alarm clock was made with the sound of a falling car,
car perfume was released with the smell of a meteorite with notes of metal, stone and ozone.
Well, did you hear about this Chelyabinsk meteorite at all?
Or did you hear about the city of Chelyabinsk at all or not?
Write it in the comments, and we will begin to analyze.
So, the Chelyabinsk meteorite marks.
There are several good synonyms here.
Firstly, the word to mark is monotonous, that is, it is the same root with the word to notice.
Perhaps you have heard this word to notice.
For example, when I saw something by accident and paid attention to it.
You go to your home and you notice something strange.
For example, the door is open, you noticed something strange, that is, you paid attention to it.
To mark is very close in meaning.
And the second meaning of the word to mark is to celebrate.
For example, to celebrate a birthday.
Tomorrow we will celebrate a birthday.
Tomorrow we will celebrate a wedding.
And here it marks the first anniversary.
Anniversary, in other words, is a round date.
10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and so on.
Here is such a round date.
The Chelyabinsk meteorite marks its first anniversary, that is, 10 years.
This article is last year, that is, this article is not of this year.
And here it is written that the Chelyabinsk meteorite is 10 years old.
To be fulfilled is just about age.
For example, in a month I will be 32 years old.
In general, the meaning of the word to be fulfilled is to become real, to become real, to come true.
For example, about a desire.
For example, my dream, my desire has come true.
I wanted it and it came true.
And about age, it also became a reality.
As the correspondent RIA Noviy Den,
well, RIA is probably a regional information agency, I think,
on the morning of February 15, 2013,
about 9 hours and 20 minutes local time.
Oh, that's great.
Local time.
I think you already understand what it is.
You can say at 13 o'clock in Moscow, in Moscow time,
or in London time, in London.
But if we speak in local time,
it means that in the time that was at that moment in this place.
In local time.
This expression, for example, can be found in air tickets.
Because on air tickets they write the time of departure, the time of arrival,
and always the time is written in local time.
In the sky over Chelyabinsk, a meteorite exploded.
Boom.
Many have seen its entrance into the atmosphere.
That is, how it entered the atmosphere.
The mass of inhabitants.
A large number. Mass.
Inhabitants of the western and northern parts.
So, let's.
This is what the compass looks like.
And what are we talking about?
We have North, South, North-South, West and East.
If we are talking about such intermediate parts of the world,
then it turns out North-East, South-East, South-West and North-West.
And here the mass of inhabitants of the western and northern parts of the Chelyabinsk region.
Here are the people who lived here.
She said.
That is, they told everyone that with their own eyes.
With their own eyes.
You can just say that I saw.
If you add with your own eyes, then with my own eyes.
I saw it myself.
This expression can be used in any context.
Especially if you are talking about something that is hard to believe.
By the way, why did she say here and why did she see here?
Where is she? Who is she?
This is the mass.
The mass said.
The mass saw.
Like a glowing ball.
That is, a ball that glows bright.
Flew from North-West to South-East.
Towards Chelyabinsk.
Scientists, as well as residents of the eastern and southern areas of the region.
That is, already on the other side.
And adjacent.
That is, those who lie next to them.
The prefix Pri means close.
One of the meanings of the prefix Pri is close.
To come.
Primary school.
Primorsky.
That is, everything that is nearby.
Those adjacent to them in other regions.
Swear that the meteorite flew from South-East to North-West.
Swear.
This means that you are making some kind of promise.
You promise someone something.
And do it as solemnly as possible.
My first association with Harry Potter.
If you watched, if you read.
There is a map of marauders.
And it says solemnly.
Or should I say?
I do not remember.
In general, there is a phrase.
I solemnly swear that I am only making a joke.
And only a joke.
Swear.
This is very serious.
Swear that the meteorite flew from South-East to North-West.
That is, quite the opposite.
In other words.
That is, by others.
Another is another.
In other words.
If you believe the eyewitnesses.
I think you already remember this word.
Because we saw it several times.
Eyewitnesses are those people who saw it with their own eyes.
If you believe the eyewitnesses.
The meteorite flew at the same time.
By the way, with the word at the same time.
There are two variants of stress.
Simultaneously and simultaneously.
You can say and so and so.
Simultaneously and simultaneously.
We will also have another such interesting word.
By the way, about the bolide.
I thought that the bolide is the name of a racing car.
For example, in Formula 1.
But it turned out that the bolide means a meteorite.
A bright, large meteorite that flies.
And the car was named in honor of these bolides.
In honor of these bright meteorites.
Live a century, learn a century.
The bolide flew at the same time from two directly opposite ends of the world.
Opposite.
Which are on the opposite.
North and south.
These are two opposites.
What else can be opposites?
The sun and the moon.
Day and night.
Water and fire.
Heat and cold.
And so on.
Opposites. Antonyms.
Opposites of the ends of the world towards themselves.
Scientists tried to explain this with visual distortions.
Distortion.
Probably one of the most popular uses of this word.
This is a cognitive distortion.
Psychologists say so.
Cognitive distortion.
When your brain distorts you.
Changes your picture of the world and how you think.
And it's hard for you to assess reality.
For example, there are optical distortions.
When it seems to you that you see something.
But in fact it is distorted.
This is the wrong figure.
For example, look at this picture.
Here we see optical distortion.
Different cameras have different lenses.
Different focal lengths.
I think so.
And the face is distorted.
That is, it does not look like reality.
That is, a different degree of distortion.
These are visual distortions.
Scientists tried to explain them.
Scientists tried to explain this with visual distortions.
That is, they tried to say.
Maybe you saw something wrong.
And insisted.
That is, they tried to convince them.
On the south-eastern version.
And the inhabitants of the northern and western parts of the region.
Seeing that the fireball.
Fireball.
Flew to Chelyabinsk.
They came to the conclusion from it.
That they collided.
Two celestial bodies collided.
But their version of the official confirmation did not work out.
The word confirmation.
Confirm.
If you downloaded the PDF.
If you watched my past videos.
Where we read the news.
Then you 100% heard this word.
And already remembered it.
From the Chelyabinsk fireball.
10 areas of the southern Ural were damaged.
In three of them.
In Korkinsky, Krasnoarmeysky and Uvelsky.
An emergency mode was introduced.
An emergency situation.
Some unpredictable situation.
It can be fires.
It can be floods.
And any other situations.
Dangerous situations.
By the way, look again.
Krasnoarmeyskaya.
Red Army.
And this word combination.
Red Army.
Combined into one adjective.
And it turned out to be Krasnoarmeysky.
The number of victims.
That is, people who were injured.
Here 10 areas were damaged.
And the number of people who were injured.
By the end of the day.
Reached 985 people.
More than 200 of them.
Children.
That is, there were 985 people in total.
200 children.
And 785 not children.
43 people.
Hospitalized.
That is, they were taken to the hospital.
Two were in a critical condition.
Damaged.
That is, damaged.
154 buildings.
93 medical institutions.
That is, there were 93 medical institutions.
Hospitals.
Maternity hospitals.
What else can there be?
Polyclinics.
And so on.
And they had 154 buildings.
In general.
In total.
About 170,000 square meters of glass were knocked out in the area.
Knocked out.
We already had the word to beat.
In Chelyabinsk, in one way or another.
Look, we already had the word.
In other words.
And here.
In one way or another.
Also a good expression.
In one way or another.
Were damaged.
Again this word.
Damaged.
2,962 buildings.
Basically.
Broken windows.
Doors.
Damaged ventilation systems.
In the area of destruction.
The area where the damage was.
Where was this destruction.
There were 34 medical institutions.
And 361 kindergarten and school.
Later, scientists admitted.
That is, they said.
Agreed.
That Chelyabinsk meteorite.
He was recognized as the largest meteorite.
Fallen.
Which hit the ground for the last 100 years.
And reported.
By the way, the word message.
In messengers.
Or SMS.
This is all a message.
Reported that in diameter.
Here the letter A was forgotten.
In diameter.
He was only 15-17 meters.
In diameter.
Weighed 10,000 tons.
And his explosion was estimated at 500 kilotons.
I don't know.
15-17 meters.
And 10,000 tons.
Is it a lot or not?
Tell me.
But I think it's a lot.
And his explosion was estimated at 500 kilotons.
This is more than 20 times.
More powerful than a bomb in Hiroshima.
But the meteorite exploded in the sky.
And only 10% of the heavenly alien fell to the ground.
Who are aliens?
What is an alien?
Hint.
This is a noun.
From the word came.
Obviously.
That is, the one who came.
From other planets, for example.
From space.
For example, this is how aliens are called.
By the way, look.
Alien.
Different planet.
As we already had in one way or another.
And here is a different planet.
Alien.
All of us are earthlings.
We are earthlings.
Aliens are aliens.
That is, those who come from space.
From other planets.
And here only 10% of the heavenly alien
Everything else, dust and gas,
scattered and melted.
The largest fragment
was raised in the fall of 2013.
In this case,
we also have options.
Raised and raised.
This is how it looks.
And now in the museum.
In Chelyabinsk, I think.
Probably in the Chelyabinsk museum.
Almost from the very beginning.
The meteorite became a commercial product.
All shopping malls.
Shopping malls are
all shopping malls
immediately flooded.
That is, there were a lot of them.
A lot.
They flooded the announcement
of the sale of fragments.
The largest, weighing 3.4 kg,
was tried to sell
for more than 2 million rubles.
I think you can imagine.
This is a lot of money.
And on foreign sites.
That is, not Russian.
And from other countries,
those that are abroad.
On foreign sites,
a fragment weighing 27 grams
was sold for $ 1,097.
So.
And how much was a dollar
10 years ago?
I don't know.
And 2 million 10 years ago.
How much was it in dollars?
Probably about 50.
I think about 50.
So 2 million rubles.
Let's divide it by 50.
How much will it be?
Well, a lot, probably.
40.
40 thousand.
Well.
And here 27 grams were sold for $ 1,100.
But already by the first anniversary of the fall.
That is, a year later,
the prices for its remains fell 5 times.
On the Internet,
there are still a lot of
such offers.
The price depends on the price.
A greedy person.
The one who does not want to spend money.
What is the example of a greedy person?
Well, greedy people do not give gifts.
Because they do not want to spend money on other people.
And here the price
depends on the greed of the seller.
For example, next to it
there may be ads
about the sale of a fragment weighing 60 grams
for $ 1,097
and a fragment weighing 150 grams for $ 1,000.
That is, either 60 grams for $ 1,097
or 150 grams for $ 1,000.
As a result, the Chelyabinsk meteorite
was immortalized.
The century is 100 years.
To immortalize means
to do so that it is remembered later.
To have a memory
about something for centuries.
For many, many, many years.
In scientific literature, poems and drawings
he also got into the cinema.
The frames of the Chelyabinsk meteorite
were used by Hollywood directors
in the films War of the Worlds
Here I added them.
This is War of the Worlds
with Brad Pitt.
And The Edge of the Future
with Tom Cruise
and Emily Blunt.
I watched both of these films.
But I did not pay attention.
Maybe it was used there.
I did not notice.
I did not note it for myself.
Here is how the words that were taught
In the South Ural,
they made an alarm clock
with the sound of a falling car.
Can you imagine waking up
to the sound of the Chelyabinsk meteorite?
It seems to me that this is a nightmare.
And they released an auto perfume
with the smell of a meteorite.
What does it smell like?
The smell of metal, stone and ozone.
There is something interesting here.
When we talk about perfume,
when we talk about scents,
we use
a musical lexicon.
For example, scents
are heard,
although you smell it.
But many people say
that scents need to be listened to.
Although to listen is like this.
To listen is with the ears,
and to smell is with the nose.
But scents are heard.
Scents, perfumes, perfumeries
have notes, have chords.
Probably there is something else
so musical.
But I don't remember now.
Just an interesting observation.
Here is such an interesting article.
Here are such interesting events
that happened to us.
If you have watched to this point,
then please like it
and subscribe to the channel.
I will be very pleased.
And now we will read it again.
I will read a little faster.
But I think you will understand everything.
The Chelyabinsk meteorite
celebrates its first anniversary.
The Chelyabinsk meteorite
turned 10 years old.
According to a correspondent
of the RIA Novyi Den,
on the morning of February 15, 2013,
at about 9 hours 20 minutes
local time,
a meteorite exploded in the sky
in Chelyabinsk.
Many people saw its entrance
into the atmosphere.
A mass of residents of the western
and northern parts of the Chelyabinsk region
said that with their own eyes
they saw how a glowing ball
flew from northwest to southeast
in the direction of Chelyabinsk.
Scientists, as well as residents
of the eastern and southern regions
of the region,
adjacent to them in other regions,
swear that the meteorite
flew from southeast to northwest.
In other words,
if you believe the eyewitnesses,
the meteorite flew at the same time
from two directly opposite ends of the world
towards itself.
Scientists tried to explain
this with visual distortions
and insisted on the southeast version.
And residents of the northern
and western parts of the region,
seeing that a glowing ball
flew to Chelyabinsk,
they came to the conclusion
that two celestial bodies collided.
But their version of the official
confirmation did not work.
Ten areas of the South Ural
Of the three,
Korkinsky, Krasnoarmeysky
and Uvelsky,
the emergency regime was introduced.
The number of injured
by the end of the day
reached 985 people.
More than 200 of them were children,
43 people were hospitalized,
two were in critical condition.
154 buildings of 93 medical institutions
In general,
about 170,000 square meters
of glass were knocked out
In Chelyabinsk,
in one way or another,
2,962 buildings were damaged.
Basically, windows, doors,
ventilation systems were damaged.
34 medical institutions
and 361 kindergartens
and schools were destroyed in the area.
Later, scientists recognized
the Chelyabinsk meteorite
as the largest meteorite
that had fallen to Earth
in the last 100 years
and reported that it was only
15-17 meters in diameter,
weighed 10,000 tons,
and its explosion was estimated
at 500 kilotons.
This is more than 20 times
more powerful than the bomb in Hiroshima.
Only 10% of the celestial alien
Everything else, dust and gas,
dissipated and melted.
The largest shrapnel was raised
in the fall of 2013.
Almost from the very beginning,
the meteorite became a commercial product.
All shopping malls
immediately flooded with ads
for the sale of shrapnel.
The largest, weighing 3.4 kg,
was tried to sell
for more than 2 million rubles.
On foreign sites,
a 27.1-gram fragment
was sold
for $ 1,097.5.
But by the first anniversary
of the fall of the meteorite,
the prices for its remains
fell five times.
There are still many similar offers
The price depends on the seller's greed.
For example, there may be an ad
for the sale of a fragment weighing 60 grams
for 55,000 rubles
and a fragment weighing 150 grams
for 1,000 rubles.
As a result, the Chelyabinsk meteorite
was immortalized in scientific literature,
poems and drawings,
pop-allons in the cinema.
The footage of the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite
was used by Hollywood directors
in the films War of the Worlds
and The Edge of the Future.
In the South Ural,
an alarm clock with the sound of a falling car
and a car perfume
with the smell of a meteorite
with notes of metal, stone and ozone
was made.
I don't know what a car perfume is,
but it's probably not that interesting.
Thank you for watching this video.
Thank you for watching it to the end.
I'm waiting for you in my Telegram channel
and in this channel.
Don't forget to download the PDF.
Thank you all very much
and bye-bye!
