Here is the transcript:Программа «Энергия» — «Буран» стала знаковым проектом в истории советской космонавтики. Это была многоразовая транспортная космическая система (МТКС), созданная как ответ на американскую программу «Спейс шаттл». «Энергия» — «Буран» была одной из двух реализованных в мире систем такого типа.

The "Energia" — "Buran" program was a landmark project in the history of Soviet space exploration. It was a reusable transport space system (RTSS), developed as a response to the American Space Shuttle program. "Energia" — "Buran" was one of only two such systems ever implemented in the world.

Единственный полёт корабля «Буран» состоялся 15 ноября 1988 года. Он прошёл в полностью беспилотном режиме. Программа стартовала в 1974 году, но уже в 1993 году работы по проекту были официально прекращены. Главными конструкторами системы были Юрий Павлович Семенов, ответственный за разработку «Бурана», и Борис Иванович Губанов, руководивший созданием ракеты-носителя «Энергия».

The only flight of the "Buran" spacecraft took place on November 15, 1988, in a fully unmanned mode. The program was launched in 1974, but by 1993, work on the project was officially terminated. The chief designers of the system were Yuri Pavlovich Semenov, responsible for developing the "Buran," and Boris Ivanovich Gubanov, who led the creation of the "Energia" launch vehicle.

Программа обошлась бюджету в 14 миллиардов рублей. Сюда не входят дополнительные расходы на постройку самого «Бурана», ракеты-носителя и запуск. По другим оценкам, общая стоимость программы достигала 16,5 миллиардов рублей.

The program's cost was significant for the state budget—14 billion rubles. This estimate does not include additional expenses for constructing the "Buran" spacecraft, the launch vehicle, and the actual launch. According to other estimates, the total cost of the program reached 16.5 billion rubles.

Transcript:

Екатерина II, также известная как Екатерина Великая, правила Российской империей в 18 веке. Она является одной из самых известных и влиятельных фигур в истории России. Екатерина пришла к власти после свержения своего мужа, Петра III, и вошла в историю как просвещённый монарх, активно содействовавший расширению и модернизации России.

Екатерина провела ряд важных реформ, направленных на укрепление государственной власти и развитие культуры. Её правление ознаменовалось значительными территориальными приобретениями, включая включение Крыма и частей Польши.

Екатерина также активно взаимодействовала со многими выдающимися умами своего времени, включая Вольтера и Дидро, и её вклад в развитие идеалов Просвещения в России был значителен. Екатерина не смогла полностью преодолеть устойчивые феодальные порядки, и крепостное право оставалось неизменным до конца её царствования. Её правление оставило глубокий след в истории России.

Translation:

Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, ruled the Russian Empire in the 18th century. She is one of the most famous and influential figures in Russian history. Catherine came to power after overthrowing her husband, Peter III, and entered history as an enlightened monarch who actively contributed to the expansion and modernization of Russia.

Catherine carried out a number of important reforms aimed at strengthening state power and developing culture. Her reign was marked by significant territorial acquisitions, including the inclusion of Crimea, and parts of Poland.

Catherine also actively interacted with many of the leading minds of her time, including Voltaire and Diderot, and her contribution to the development of Enlightenment ideals in Russia was significant. Catherine was unable to completely overcome the entrenched feudal orders, and serfdom remained unchanged until the end of her reign. Her rule left a deep mark in the history of Russia.

Here is the transcript:

Мультфильм "Король Лев" (1994) рассказывает историю молодого льва по имени Симба, который готовится стать королем африканской саванны. The animated film "The Lion King" (1994) tells the story of a young lion named Simba, who is preparing to become the king of the African savanna.

Сюжет начинается с рождения Симбы, сына короля Муфасы и королевы Сараби. The plot begins with the birth of Simba, the son of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi.

Муфаса учит Симбу о круге жизни и обязанностях короля. Mufasa teaches Simba about the circle of life and the responsibilities of being a king.

Однако, дядя Симбы, Шрам, завидует Муфасе и планирует захватить трон. However, Simba's uncle, Scar, is jealous of Mufasa and plans to seize the throne.

Шрам устраивает ловушку, в результате которой Муфаса погибает, спасая Симбу. Scar sets a trap, resulting in Mufasa's death while saving Simba.

Шрам убеждает Симбу, что он виновен в смерти отца, и Симба убегает из королевства. Scar convinces Simba that he is responsible for his father's death, and Simba flees the kingdom.

Симба встречает Тимона и Пумбу, суриката и бородавочника, которые становятся его друзьями и учат его философии "Хакуна Матата" (беззаботная жизнь). Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog, who become his friends and teach him the philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" (no worries).

Симба вырастает вдали от своих обязанностей, но однажды встречает свою подругу детства Налу, которая убеждает его вернуться и спасти королевство от тирании Шрама. Simba grows up away from his responsibilities, but one day he meets his childhood friend Nala, who convinces him to return and save the kingdom from Scar's tyranny.

Симба возвращается в Прайд-Ленд и сталкивается с Шрамом. Simba returns to the Pride Lands and confronts Scar.

В битве за трон, Симба побеждает Шрама, который в конечном итоге погибает. In the battle for the throne, Simba defeats Scar, who ultimately dies.

Симба становится новым королем и восстанавливает мир и гармонию в королевстве. Simba becomes the new king and restores peace and harmony to the kingdom.

Мультфильм заканчивается тем, что Симба и Нала представляют своего новорожденного львенка животным королевства, продолжая круг жизни. The film ends with Simba and Nala presenting their newborn cub to the animals of the kingdom, continuing the circle of life.

Here is the transcript:

Программа космических полётов России имеет долгую и богатую историю и уходит корнями ещё во времена СССР. Главные советские достижения – это, конечно, запуск первого спутника и отправка в космос первого человека, Юрия Гагарина. Программа также сыграла важную роль в космической гонке холодной войны с Соединёнными Штатами.

В последние годы российская космическая программа продолжает работать и достигать успехов. Она запускала множество спутников и космических аппаратов, включая космический корабль "Союз". Россия также управляет своей собственной космической станцией "Мир" и имеет планы для будущих пилотируемых миссий на Луну.

Вот несколько российских рекордов:

• Самый длительный полёт был осуществлён Валерием Поляковым на станции "Мир", который длился 437 суток, 17 часов, 58 минут и 17 секунд.
• Рекорд по общему времени, проведённому в орбите, принадлежит Геннадию Падалке, составляющий 878 суток, 11 часов, 29 минут и 36 секунд; он был зарегистрирован Международной аэронавтической федерацией (ФАИ) в сентябре 2015 года.
• Космонавт Анатолий Соловьёв совершил 16 выходов в открытый космос, проведя в общей сложности 78 часов и 48 минут в открытом космосе.

Translation:

The Russian space program has a long and rich history dating back to the times of the USSR. The main Soviet achievements include, of course, launching the first satellite and sending the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space. The program also played a significant role in the Cold War space race with the United States.

In recent years, the Russian space program has continued to operate and achieve successes. It has launched numerous satellites and spacecraft, including the Soyuz spacecraft. Russia also operates its own space station, "Mir," and has plans for future manned missions to the Moon.

Here are some Russian records:

• The longest spaceflight was conducted by Valery Polyakov on the "Mir" station, which lasted 437 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes, and 17 seconds.
• The record for the total time spent in orbit belongs to Gennady Padalka, totaling 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes, and 36 seconds; it was registered by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI) in September 2015.
• Cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev conducted 16 spacewalks, spending a total of 78 hours and 48 minutes in open space. ***

Here is the transcript:

КГБ существовал с 1954 по 1991 год и служил основным органом безопасности СССР. Он занимался внутренней и внешней безопасностью, разведкой и контрразведкой.

На протяжении Холодной войны КГБ занимался шпионажем, пропагандой и поддержкой коммунистических движений по всему миру. 

Он был распущен в 1991 году вместе с распадом Советского Союза. Преемником стала Федеральная служба безопасности (ФСБ), которая продолжает свою роль в российской безопасности и разведке. 

Translation:

The KGB, active from 1954 to 1991, served as the primary security agency of the Soviet Union, handling internal and external security, intelligence, and counterintelligence.

Throughout the Cold War, the KGB engaged in espionage, propaganda, and support for communist movements globally. 

Dissolved in 1991 with the Soviet Union, it was succeeded by the Federal Security Service (FSB), which continues its role in Russian security and intelligence.

Печкин: Ничего себе! Вашу маму и там, и тут передают. До чего техника дошла! 

Мама: Я же говорила, что не могу жить без вашего Простоквашино.

Кабы не было зимы В гоpодах и сёлах, Hикогда б не знали мы Этих дней весёлых.

Hе кружила б малышня Возле снежной бабы, Hе петляла бы лыжня, Кабы, кабы, кабы… Hе петляла бы лыжня, Кабы, кабы, кабы…

Кабы не было зимы, А всё время лето, Мы б не знали кутерьмы Hовогодней этой, Hе спешил бы Дед Мороз К нам через ухабы, Лёд на речке б не замёрз Кабы, кабы, кабы… Лёд на речке б не замёрз Кабы, кабы, кабы…

Translation:

Pechkin: Wow! They broadcast your mother both here and there. What technology has come to!

Mom: I told you that I can’t live without your Prostokvashino.

If there had been no winter,  in the cities and villages, we would never have known these happy days. The little ones wouldn’t be circling  around the snow woman, The ski track wouldn’t be winding, If only, if only, if only... 

If only it weren’t winter, And all the time it’s summer, We wouldn’t know this New Year’s chaos, Santa Claus wouldn’t rush to us through the potholes, The ice on the river wouldn’t freeze If only, if only, if only...

Here is the transcript:

Холодная война была периодом политической и военной напряженности между западными державами во главе с США и восточными державами во главе с Советским Союзом. Это продолжалось с конца Второй мировой войны до начала 90-х годов. Советский Союз играл центральную роль в формировании политической и военной картины того времени.

Во время Холодной войны СССР и США вели гонку ядерных вооружений, а также конкурировали за влияние в различных странах мира. Эта конкуренция часто принимала форму прокси-войн. Например, Корейская война, Вьетнамская война и Советско-афганская война.

Оглядываясь назад, можно сказать, что холодная война оказала глубокое влияние на мир, сформировав глобальную политику и международную систему так, как это ощущается и сегодня. Окончание «холодной войны» ознаменовало конец биполярного мира и наступление новой эры международных отношений.

Translation:

The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the Western powers, led by the United States, and the Eastern powers, led by the Soviet Union. It lasted from the end of World War II to the early 1990s. The Soviet Union played a central role in shaping the political and military landscape of the time.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States engaged in a nuclear arms race, as well as a competition for influence in various countries around the world. This competition often took the form of proxy wars. For example, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War.

In retrospect, the Cold War had a profound impact on the world, shaping global politics and shaping the international system in ways that are still felt today. The end of the Cold War marked the end of the bipolar world and the emergence of a new era of international relations.
