Tajik singer Dilnoza Karimova faced a real tragedy on the eve of the New Year. The five-year-old son of the artist Diyerbek was treated in India, but due to an intensive course of chemotherapy, the child's health began to deteriorate sharply. The boy passed away late on the evening of December 31st. This was announced by the artist herself on the page in the social network.

“My son passed away in India at 20:15. I ask God to give me patience and strength. Take care of your children. Remember that this is the most important thing," the young woman wrote, showing several photos with the boy.

Dierbeck was diagnosed with terminal lymphoma. This became known a few months ago, after which the singer began to raise funds for the treatment of the child. Karimova's son had a chance to recover, but this required expensive medicines and the help of the best doctors in the world.

As a result, many cultural figures of Tajikistan responded to Dilnoza's cry for help. Also, several charity concerts were planned for 2018 in the capital of the country, Dushanbe.

Karimova herself temporarily abandoned career development in order to spend all her time with her child. At first, Diyerbek was treated in Kyrgyzstan, but local doctors could not help the boy. That is why the singer, together with the heir, went to India. In one of the best clinics in the country, the child began to undergo chemotherapy, but because of this, his health began to deteriorate sharply.

Diyerbek's parents hoped for a recovery to the last. His body could not cope with the treatment. Karimova was quick to inform fans that the money raised would be donated to charity. The artist wants these funds to help others, since they could not save her baby.

Fans hurried to support the inconsolable mother and wished her spiritual strength. “The death of a child is always grief. Hold on, God will still give you happiness”, “I have never heard Dilnoza’s songs, but I really sympathize with her. Such a grief on New Year's Eve, now the holiday will always be associated with tragedy”, “Cancer spares no one, but you should not give up. Sooner or later, a cure will be found for this misfortune, ”Karimova’s fans wrote.

Now the artist is increasingly uploading joint pictures with her five-year-old son, and also writes poems dedicated to him. Fans of Dilnoza hope that she will have the strength to cope with the tragedy and return to active creative work.

Roman, Novovoronezh

Is it possible to celebrate the New Year in the house where the wife's father lived and died?

Good afternoon! Can my wife and I celebrate the New Year in the house where her father lived and died? 40 days have already passed.

Roman, good health. Your question touches on several different points at once. The first is death loved one(in your case, the wife's father). Firstly As I see it, many people are afraid of the appearance of the souls of deceased relatives. However, this is not to be feared. From the life of the Holy Great Martyr Anastasia the Destroyer of Patterns, we learn that only the souls of the holy martyrs can come (appear at will) into this world. The rest of the souls cannot come by themselves and of their own accord, but there is a certain fear of the dead in the people's minds.

Secondly, the first 40 days after death, the soul of the deceased goes through ordeals, that is, everything bad, sinful, done by the person himself in earthly life is examined: how did he feel about it, did he love it, did he enjoy it or did he still fight and resist sin, repented at confession and tried to conquer sin in himself; whether he prayed, whether he did alms - in a word, he tried in every possible way to push off from evil and all its manifestations. There is a kind of weighing or highlighting of a person, to what extent he has united with evil within himself. And in this terrible period of a person's life - after all, the Soul is alive and remembers all earthly experience - the help of his close people is needed. For this reason, relatives are kept from all kinds of entertainment - weddings, birthdays and other events. And they not only hold back, but also impose some additional obligations on themselves: fasting, prayer, almsgiving, repentance, reconciliation if possible, if they are at enmity with someone, limit watching TV, begin to read spiritual literature, especially the Holy Scriptures, in some In some places, men do not shave their beards - in a word, they try to live these 40 days as Christianly as possible. This is very briefly about two points related to the deceased.

And the other direction of your question is related to New Year celebration. Now it is coming, and closer to Christmas it becomes more and more strict. Christians should exercise greater diligence and abstain from all pleasures. Naturally, during the celebration of the New Year there can be no question of any kind of abstinence - these are just opposite and mutually exclusive things. The New Year's holiday itself was artificially transferred from December 31 to January 1 by Peter the Great around 1700, before that it was celebrated on September 1. In worship there is even a service to the New Summer - the Indict. And even earlier it was celebrated in March. At the time of its transfer, it still fell after the great feast of the Nativity of Christ, on December 25, according to the old style, that is, they celebrated when there was no longer fasting, but there were Christmas time. And at the beginning of the 20th century, they switched to a new style, and the New Year moved 13 days ago, coinciding with the strictest days of fasting before the feast of the Nativity of Christ. Of the people who are not interested in church history, few people know that on this very day, from December 31 to January 1, the Church celebrates the memory of the holy martyr Vnifantiy, who has grace from God to deliver people from wine drinking. People, not only do not pray to him, but also desecrate his memory with all sorts of sins after plentiful feasts. How many problems and grief there are from wine, I think it makes no sense to say, everyone knows for himself. And who cares, you can see the statistics of offenses on holidays and compare with weekdays. In some parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church, pious Old Believer Christians pray all night to the holy martyr Vnifantii and thereby protect themselves and their children from terrible evil.

Traditionally, the New Year holidays in Russia become not only a source of unbridled joy and fun, but also a period of large-scale filling of the chronicle of incidents with sad events caused by the fact that joy and fun got out of control.

The current New Year and Christmas non-stop was no exception. AiF.ru chose the brightest, crazy and tragic of the last ten days of emergency.

"Hot New Year": the main Christmas tree was burned on Sakhalin on New Year's Eve

New, 2018, in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk was met with a twinkle in the literal sense of the word. Right on New Year's Eve on the central square of the city, where thousands of people gathered, the main festive tree blazed. In a matter of minutes, the 25-meter beauty burned to the ground. The cause of the incident was called carelessly launched fireworks.

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt. Residents of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk not only did not panic, but watched with interest the unplanned part of the entertainment program. According to the Sakhalin.info website, hundreds of people filmed what was happening on camera, and it seems that they competed in the speed of sending the received content to the editorial offices of local media. Photos and videos came with the notes “Hot New Year”, “Fir-tree, burn”, “Hot holiday”, “Have a good walk”, “Shrovetide”, “Sakhalin is burning”, etc.

The authorities of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk reacted promptly to the incident, promising to install a new Christmas tree on the site. The very next day, the New Year tree was transferred to the central square, which had previously stood at the Cosmos stadium of the Gagarin city park of culture and recreation.

"Short circuit": in Vladivostok, because of the air clapper, they celebrated the holiday by candlelight

In Vladivostok, on New Year's Eve, the festive trees were not affected, but some of the local residents met the holiday without light. According to TASS with reference to the press service of the company "Primorskie Electric Networks", the reason was the launch of a pneumocracker under the power line.

“On New Year's Eve, due to a pneumococcus that a group of young people launched under a 35 kV [power transmission] line, some consumers in Vladivostok were left without electricity. The short circuit caused the shutdown of three substations at once, which provide electricity to consumers in the Avangard and Lugovaya districts.

The emergency brigade quickly eliminated the consequences of the emergency, but, nevertheless, fans of pneumocrackers spoiled the impression of the holiday for their fellow countrymen.

According to the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, the incident occurred in the village of Renovated Trud, Istra District.

See Bruges and die: a Russian woman died at a skating rink in Belgium

Misfortunes during the New Year holidays haunted Russians far beyond the borders of their homeland. According to the Belgian publication Nieuwsblad, a tourist from Russia died as a result of a fall on a skating rink in Bruges. According to Belgian journalists, the perpetrators of the state of emergency were the foreign guests themselves, who on New Year's Eve entered the indoor ice rink of the Christmas fair.

According to the prosecutor's office in Bruges, the doctors who arrived at the call offered the victim hospitalization, which she refused.

“Returning from the Christmas tree”: in Orenburg, a schoolboy beat a man to death

Some of the incidents that happened at the beginning of the holiday marathon became known only now. On January 9, information about the crime committed on December 29 appeared on the website of the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Orenburg Region.

“At about 21:00 on December 29, 2017, the body of a 34-year-old local resident with signs of violent death was found at the Gidropress stop along Bratev Korostelev Avenue in the city of Orenburg.

Destination: riding on the "cheesecake" in Kogalym ended fatally

The sad point of the New Year's marathon-2018 can be considered the tragedy that occurred on the evening of January 8 in Kogalym.

According to the press service of the UGIBDD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, on January 8, at about 17:50 Moscow time in Kogalym, a girl born in 1995, driving a Daewoo Nexia, transported a snow scooter and an inflatable sled "cheesecake" on a flexible hitch, which rolled out into the oncoming lane, where there was a collision with a Hyundai Sonata car driven by a man born in 1991.

As a result, two young people who were on a snow scooter and a sleigh were injured. The 23-year-old passenger of the cheesecake sleigh died at the scene from his injuries. A criminal case has been initiated against the girl driver for violating the rules of the road, which negligently caused the death of a person.

In early January, the death rate always rises and then declines. This is what happens year after year. Employees of funeral organizations say that they have an unspoken installation - before the New Year, to massively purchase funeral accessories, warehouses are directly clogged with them. They work all month, and in February they have a rest. It is difficult to say what this is connected with and why the peak of mortality falls precisely in the first half of January.

The number of both unnatural deaths and quite logical deaths is increasing - for example, when a person struggled with a serious illness for a long time. The connection between the last and the New Year period cannot be identified - at least, I do not know that this data was collected and analyzed.

new year's death

One of the reasons for the increase in the rate of accidental deaths is that we often abuse alcohol. Especially on holidays. Hence - a lot of deaths associated with poisoning or exacerbation of diseases on the background of drinking. Ideally, don't drink at all. If this is not possible, choose quality drinks: most cases of intoxication are associated with surrogates. Food poisoning is also common, but usually not fatal. Although this happens.

During the New Year holidays, the percentage of accidents also increases. But this, again, is associated with alcohol: intoxication often provokes accidents with victims. Pyrotechnics is another risk factor. Firstly, it may be of poor quality (but this is not so common). Secondly, its use while intoxicated often leads to non-compliance with elementary safety standards and - death. In general, all entertainment events accompanying the celebration - for taking alcohol, drugs and other things - are aggravated at this time and affect the mortality rate.

Another "interesting" death is associated with the inaction of medical structures. They usually try not to talk about it. It is trite, if a critical situation occurs in the midst of a holiday, it is not always possible to get through to the ambulance. Because employees, even those who are on duty, are simply not able to work - again due to alcohol intoxication. It is clear that it is impossible to speak without exception, but such cases were in my practice.

Last way

In our country, the funeral market is a combination of private business and government institutions that have something to do with death: hospitals, morgues, cemeteries. This often results in conflict.

For funeral organizations, there are no such concepts as holidays, weekends, normal working hours. After all, death does not choose the time, it can occur at midnight from December 31 to January 1. With state structures, everything is not so clear. There are on-duty brigades who, like ambulances, leave at any time to provide first aid in organizing a funeral - transporting the dead to the morgue. There, too, there are doctors on duty who receive bodies. That is, the starting stage is normal, but then slippage begins.

The fact is that morgues are subject to a common production calendar. This means that in the first few days the dead accumulate there: no one opens them and does not give them out to relatives. The main problem is that our morgues are not designed for such a number of bodies: their safety is not ensured, since there are not enough cold rooms. As a result, the dead are laid out in the corridors, piled on top of each other in mountains. This is a rather sad sight.

Because of this "preservation" the process of decomposition of bodies begins. It is impossible to say unequivocally how quickly it will happen, since it depends on many factors: what kind of person, how old is he, what disease did he have, in what condition was he brought. If, for example, they bring a homeless person who had previously lain under the snow for a long time and the worms began to eat him, leave him in a warm corridor and put three more fresh corpses on top - the worms immediately climb onto new bodies. And when on the fourth or fifth day of the holidays the deceased is allowed to be taken away, a completely terrible picture arises.

The second problem is cemeteries. It's the same story here: they have days off, so there are no burials.

Corruption and queues

The current situation breeds corruption: sometimes there are employees in morgues who are ready to work on holidays, but for a fairly large amount from relatives. Prices can rise to insane levels. And you will have to pay for everything: to get permission to issue the body from the morgue, so that they still give it out, so that they accept it at the cemetery.

In general, our morgues are free. But in fact, services are often imposed there - for example, makeup and embalming. They cost from 5 to 25 thousand rubles, depending on the region. If the issuance of the body takes place outside working hours, then, as a rule, you have to pay from 1000 rubles to double the price for all services rendered. The story of two fools: one pays, the other asks.

It is more difficult with a cemetery, because there is usually no direct contact with an employee who could arrange everything and bury the deceased on holidays. And, again, it all depends on the region - I know cities where it is generally impossible to find such people on a weekend, they simply do not exist.

As for crematoria, everything is fine with them in the regions (mostly private crematoria operate there), but not in Moscow. I remember that a few years ago, just on New Year's holidays, a scandal broke out because of this: on the first working day of the crematoria, a huge column of hearses lined up. People waited in line for six hours. And of course, there were also those who decided to make money by selling their place.
