Former Russian striker Dmitriy Bulykin expresses confidence that the RPL matches will be strong and interesting until the end of the new season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. In his opinion, there are no clearly weak teams left in the current championship, and many teams will compete for the title. As Bulykin noted, no one will be able to easily claim the championship like "Zenit" did in previous seasons. In the last two seasons, the championship prize was decided until the last moment. Last season, "Zenit" won the championship for the sixth consecutive time, while in the previous season, for the first time in history, the "Krasnodar" team became the champion of Russia. In the new season, the "Krasnodar" team suffered defeats at home against CSKA and "Lokomotiv" teams from Moscow. These situations indicate how intense the competition will be in the new season. Thus, every match of the championship will be of great importance, and teams must fully utilize their opportunities. The new season is expected to bring great interest and excitement for RPL fans.

He expressed confidence that his team will play much stronger in the upcoming season.

Dmitriy Bulykin commented on the recent transfer of the capital's "Lokomotiv" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The club has strengthened its squad with defender Cristian Ramirez, who played for "Krasnodar" and "Ferencváros". According to Bulykin, Ramirez's transfer does not quite align with "Lokomotiv's" development strategy in recent years. Although he is 30 years old, there was a vacancy in this position in the team, and it was necessary to fill it. He also noted that "Lokomotiv" has won in the first two rounds of the Russian Premier League. The team defeated "Sochi" 3:0 at home in the first round. In the second round, they won 2:1 away against "Krasnodar". With this result, "Lokomotiv" achieved a unique indicator in the league table. Bulykin believes that Ramirez can bring the experience and quality that the team needs. The team is currently striving to strengthen its strong positions, and new players are being brought in for this purpose. Thus, Ramirez's transfer is considered an important step for "Lokomotiv's" future successes.

On February 6, 2023, a powerful earthquake occurred in southeastern Turkey. This was reported by Zamin.uz. As a result of this natural disaster, more than 55,000 people lost their lives, and over 100,000 were injured. Most of the victims were unable to receive warnings as they were asleep. This event raised important questions about trust in technology. During the earthquake, Google’s Android Earthquake Alerts system was operational, but its triggering algorithms failed to fully detect the strong tremors. As a result, out of approximately 10 million users, only 469 received a "Take Action Quickly" level alert. Nearly half a million people only received a "Be Aware" notification regarding light tremors. Google later acknowledged this error and announced that it had updated the system algorithms. The updates were said to ensure that the necessary level of alerts would be sent to 10 million people through simulation. However, these changes were announced two years after the tragedy occurred. Google emphasized that its system would not completely replace national warning systems but would serve as an additional mechanism to complement them. At the same time, some experts express concern that certain countries are overly reliant on such technologies and are paying insufficient attention to their independent seismic infrastructure. This situation highlights the need to strengthen preparedness for natural disasters.

Since the law banning marriages between relatives came into effect in Azerbaijan in July 2025, the number of weddings has significantly decreased. This was reported by Zamin.uz. For example, while more than 5,000 marriages were registered in June, this figure dropped to 2,694 in July. Experts associate these changes closely with the enforcement of the law prohibiting marriages between close relatives. According to the law, marriage is completely prohibited between children of brothers and sisters who share a common grandfather or grandmother, as well as between biological cousins. The main goal of this law is to reduce the number of children born with genetic defects and to ensure a healthy generation. Medical specialists emphasize that marriages between relatives often lead to hereditary diseases, which negatively affect the health of future generations. According to data from the Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan, from January to July 2025, 12,146 divorce cases were recorded in the country, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. The divorce rate per 1,000 people dropped from 2.1 to 2.0. In accordance with the new law, individuals applying for marriage registration are required to submit their birth certificates and their parents' documents to determine the degree of kinship. If a violation of the law is detected, administrative or criminal liability will be imposed for such cases. These regulations serve to build a healthy and stable society.
