Kremlj i Crveni trg, Ruska Federacija – Kremlin and Red Square, Russian Federation
Nakon raspada Sovjetskog Saveza, početkom devedesetih godina XX vijeka, predsjednik Ruske Federacije Boris Jeljcin otpočeo je sprovođenje smjelog plana kojim je Velikom kremljanskom dvorcu trebalo vratiti nekadašnji sjaj. Veliki dvorac izgrađen je između 1838. i 1849. godine u okviru Kremlja (čiji naziv potiče od riječi kreml, što znači tvrđava), po projektu koji je arhitekta Konstantin Ton uradio za Nikolu I. Koštao je čitavih dvanaest miliona rubalja i bio je dvor careva i ruskih kneževa sve do Oktobarske revolucije 1917. godine. Želeći da izbriše to svjedočanstvo o slavi carske Rusije, Staljin je između 1932. i 1934. godine uništio neke od najreprezentativnijih prostorija u Kremlju, uključujući sobe svetog Andreja i svetog Aleksandra. Vrhovni sovjet i predstavnici Ruske Federacije zauzeli su prostor od 80 x 20 metara u koji je moglo da stane 3.000 stolica. Zahvaljujući fotografijama prvobitnog izgleda, koje su pronađene u kraljevskoj arhivi zamka Vindzor u Velikoj Britaniji, uloženim sredstvima…

Heterologous versus homologous COVID-19 booster vaccination in previous recipients of two doses of CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine in Brazil (RHH-001): a phase 4, non-inferiority, single blind, randomised study – ScienceDirect
Antibody concentrations were low at 6 months after previous immunisation with two doses of CoronaVac. However, all four vaccines administered as a third dose induced a significant increase in binding and neutralising antibodies, which could improve protection against infection. Heterologous boosting resulted in more robust immune responses than homologous boosting and might enhance protection.

UK police to investigate Downing Street lockdown parties | News | DW | 25.01.2022
The London Metropolitan Police force on Tuesday said it would investigate a series of events held at Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Downing Street offices during strict coronavirus lockdowns.
The criminal probe follows allegations surrounding Downing Street parties that the police force had previously declined investigating.
Why are the police investigating now?
Cressida Dick, the head of the Metropolitan Police, revealed the decision had been taken partly as a result of information passed to police from a Cabinet Office inquiry being carried out by the UK Civil Service. The investigation had also been launched because of officers’ own assessments, Dick said.
“I can confirm that the Met is now investigating a number of events that took place at Downing Street and Whitehall in the last two years in relation to potential breaches of COVID-19 regulations,” Dick told a Greater London Assembly meeting.
