Andrey Andreyevich Markov

Andrey (Andrei) Andreyevich Markov (Russian: Андре́й Андре́евич Ма́рков, in older works also spelled Markoff) (14 June 1856 N.S. – 20 July 1922) was a Russian mathematician. He is best known for his work on stochastic processes. A primary subject of his research later became known as Markov chains and Markov processes.

Markov and his younger brother Vladimir Andreevich Markov (1871–1897) proved Markov brothers' inequality. His son, another Andrei Andreevich Markov (1903–1979), was also a notable mathematician, making contributions to constructive mathematics and recursive function theory.

Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman was born on 13 June 1966 is a Russian mathematician who has made landmark contributions to Riemannian geometry and geometric topology.

In 1994, Perelman proved the soul conjecture. In 2003, he proved Thurston's geometrization conjecture. This consequently solved in the affirmative the Poincaré conjecture, posed in 1904, which before its solution was viewed as one of the most important and difficult open problems in topology.

In August 2006, Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow." Perelman declined to accept the award or to appear at the congress, stating: "I'm not interested in money or fame, I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo." On 22 December 2006, the journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year", the first such recognition in the area of mathematics.

On 18 March 2010, it was announced that he had met the criteria to receive the first Clay Millennium Prize for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. On 1 July 2010, he turned down the prize, saying that he considers his contribution to proving the Poincaré conjecture to be no greater than that of Richard Hamilton, who introduced the theory of Ricci flow with the aim of attacking the geometrization conjecture.

June 12

Russia Day is the national holiday of the Russian Federation, celebrated on June 12. It has been celebrated every year since 1992. The First Congress of People's Deputies of the Russian Federation adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic on June 12, 1990.

Vyacheslav Ivanovich Polunin (born 12 June 1950) is a Russian performance artist and clown. He is the creator of the stage spectacles, “Asisyai-revue”, “Slava's Snowshow” and “Diabolo”. In 1968, Polunin started the semi-professional pantomime theater, Litsedeyi. In 1981, his first very successful television performance took place on the New Year's Eve program “Goluboy Ogonyok”. It was a part of his now famous “Asisyai-revue”. In 1985, during the Moscow World Festival of Youth and Students he organized a master class of pantomime attended by many Western mimes. By 1988, Polunin's theater Licedei had created five highly successful shows: “Dreamers”, “Eccentrics on the attic”, “From the life of insects”, “Asisyai-revue” and “Catastrophe”. In 1989, Polunin organized The Caravan of Peace, in which mimes from different parts of the world were on the road for half a year giving street performances in many European cities. Later, he started the Academy of Fools, the center devoted to the "resurrection of the carnival culture in Russia". The project was started with Polunin's own money, but when the money was spent, the project was frozen. In 1994, Polunin declared that he would make a few commercially successful shows in the West and then return to continue the work of the Academy with the money earned. Among the shows he organized were the highly successful “Slava's Snowshow” and “Diabolo” devoted to "comical meditation on life, death, and the beauty of the universe".

Anna Ivanovna Bogaliy-Titovets (born June 12, 1979) is a retired Russian biathlete. She is 167 cm tall and weighs 58 kg. She has had eleven podium finishes, three in first place, four in second, and has come third four times. At the 2006 Winter Olympics, Bogaliy-Titovets won gold on the 4×6 km Relay. At the World Championships, she won three gold medals in relays, including a recent title in mixed relay in Holmenkollen.

Евге́ний Ю́рьевич До́долев (11 июня 1957, Москва) — советский и российскийжурналист и медиаменеджер. Ведущий программы «Взгляд». Член творческих союзов России (журналистов, литераторов, писателей) и американской организации «Комитет защиты журналистов» (англ. CPJ). В качестве главного редактора руководил газетами «Новый Взгляд» и «Московская комсомолка», деловыми изданиями «Компания» и «Карьера»; в качестве издательского директора — журналами «Профиль», «Русский BusinessWeek», FHM Russia, XXL, «Крестьянка»,«Домовой», Moulin Rouge; как исполнительный директор — Издательским домом Родионова. Колумнист газеты «Московский комсомолец» и журнала «Однако», ведёт блог на сайте радио «Эхо Москвы». Автор ряда книг.

Ещё будучи школьником, сотрудничал с «Комсомольской правдой», где в ту пору работал его отец, военный писатель Юрий Додолев. Юнкор выполнял ответственные задания ведущего рубрики «Алый парус» Юрия Щекочихина, с которым много лет спустя выпустил публицистическую книгу-сборник «Процессы. Гласность и мафия, противостояния» (М., «Молодая гвардия»,1989).

Стартовав в качестве корреспондента «Московского комсомольца» (1985), Евгений перешёл в разряд свободных художников и утверждает, что «начальником» обзавёлся всего один раз — когда вместе с Юлианом Семёновым создал бюллетень «Совершенно секретно» (1989). Над концепцией и пилотным номером работал вместе с журналистом АПНАлександром Плешковым, который позднее был, по всей видимости, отравлен в Париже.

Как и многие журналисты-новаторы, интересовался всем, что сопряжено с масскультом; телекритик Наталья Влащенкоотмечала:

В киноведении и театроведении были всплески (чего только стоит период молодёжной редакции «Театральной жизни» в конце 80-х во главе с Андреем Кучеровым и Евгением Додолевым!)

Журналист принадлежит к разряду перестроечных публицистов, отличавшихся «тонким юмором» и сформировавших, по мнению Дмитрия Быкова, новояз 90-х:

Это молодое поколение — в основном дети тех самых шестидесятников Владимир Яковлев, Артём Боровик,Дмитрий Лиханов, Евгений Додолев, Александр Любимов, — уже берёт свое. Представители недавней «золотой молодёжи», выросшие в огромных квартирах или проведшие отрочество за границей, молодые выпускники международного отделения журфака МГУ, они начинают делать погоду на телевидении и в прессе.

Стал первым и единственным журналистом, по материалам которого (в «Московском комсомольце» о валютных проститутках) принимал решение ЦК КПСС (1986) и вносились изменения в Административный кодекс СССР. Эти первые в России статьи о проституции — «Ночные охотницы» и «Белый танец» — вывели газету на общесоюзный уровень цитирования, подняли тираж на рекордный уровень. В итоге получил от Союза журналистов СССР звание «Лучшего журналиста года» (1986), которое продублировал два года спустя (1988). В 2004 году Игорь Свинаренко напомнил читателям «Медведя» шутливое четверостишье Юлиана Семёнова

Peter the Great, Peter I or Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov (Russian: Пётр Алексе́евич Рома́нов, Пётр I, Pyotr I, or Пётр Вели́кий, Pyotr Velikiy) (9 June [O.S. 30 May] 1672 – 8 February [O.S. 28 January] 1725) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 7 May [O.S. 27 April] 1682 until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his half-brother. In numerous successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. According to historian James Cracraft, he led a cultural revolution that replaced the traditionalist and medieval social and political system with a modern, scientific, Europe-oriented, and rationalist system. Peter the Great had two wives, with whom he had fourteen children; three of them survived to adulthood. His eldest child and heir, Alexei, was suspected of being involved in a plot to overthrow the Emperor. Alexei was tried and confessed under torture during questioning conducted by a secular court. He was convicted and sentenced to be executed. The sentence could be carried out only with Peter's signed authorization, and Alexei died in prison, as Peter hesitated before making the decision. Alexei's death most likely resulted from injuries suffered during his torture.
