Former Spartak player and football expert Yevgeniy Lovchev has revealed which teams will struggle to avoid elimination in the new season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, newly promoted teams and those that fought for survival last season will be the main competitors. Lovchev emphasized this point in an interview with Match TV. Based on last season's results, "Baltika" and "Sochi" joined the Russian Premier League. "Orenburg" managed to stay in the league due to a refereeing controversy with Moscow's "Torpedo." Additionally, despite losing in the play-off matches, "Pari NN" remained in the league due to the suspension of "Khimki." Thus, it is possible to predict which teams will fight for survival in the new season.

Valeriy Filatov, the former head coach of the Lokomotiv team and now a member of the board of directors of the Moscow club, shared his thoughts on the future of the "Railwaymen" striker Sergey Pinyaev. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Filatov, Sergey should only consider offers coming from foreign clubs. He is young and has great opportunities ahead of him. For this reason, he believes that moving to other teams in Russia would be illogical. Sergey Pinyaev has been playing for the Lokomotiv team since 2023. In the last season, he accumulated 19 points in 38 matches across all competitions, which is the sum of goals and assists. Earlier, there were reports that Zenit and CSKA teams were also interested in his services. Filatov believes that the best path for the young player's future is to consider offers from clubs abroad.

Real Madrid is preparing to make a big transfer. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Sport Witness, citing Mundo Deportivo, the club is interested in Manchester City's midfielder Rodrigo. The "Royal Club" aims to strengthen its midfield and is ready to pay 100 million euros for Rodrigo. The Real management considers Rodrigo to be the only midfielder that can be bought for such a large sum. At the same time, the Madrid team acknowledges that it will be difficult to bring the 29-year-old Rodrigo from Manchester City. It has been noted that last year Rodrigo expressed that he might consider an offer from Real. Additionally, it should be remembered that Rodrigo won the "Ballon d'Or" in 2024. These circumstances demonstrate the serious intentions of Real Madrid's transfer policy. The club's management is showing that they are ready to spend significant amounts to strengthen the team.

Football expert Evgeniy Lovchev shared his thoughts about Kaliningrad's Baltika team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, nine new players have joined the team led by his good friend Andrey Talalaev. However, this situation will not immediately yield positive results for the team. Lovchev stated that although Talalaev has acquired high-level players, it will take another year to fully adapt and implement the team. Last season, Baltika won the second-tier league in Russia and was promoted to the top league within a year. During that season, Andrey Talalaev served as the head coach of the team. On July 18, the opening match of the Russian Premier League will take place. In it, Moscow Dynamo and Baltika will compete against each other. The match will be held at the VTB Arena stadium. This game is considered an important start to the new season and is eagerly awaited by fans.

Football functionary Andrey Chervichenko expressed his thoughts on the match between Spartak and Makhachkala Dinamo, which will take place in the first round of the new season of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, currently, the Dinamo Makhachkala team is considered one of the weakest opponents. Of course, they may show unexpected results like last year, but they are not a dangerous opponent for the Spartak team. Especially, the fact that the game will be held at home gives Spartak an additional advantage. Last season, Dinamo finished in 11th place, while the Spartak team concluded the competition in fourth place. This match will start on July 19 at 20:30 Moscow time. According to the expert, Spartak has a high probability of winning at home. This game is generating great interest among Russian football fans. Both teams are striving to show strong performances in the new season. Additionally, Spartak fans have high hopes for their team's success. For the players, this match will be an opportunity to showcase themselves at a professional level. For this reason, preparations for the game are being conducted at a high level. This competition is highly anticipated among fans and experts.

The personality of Hurrem Sultan, the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, has been the subject of much debate in Ottoman history. This was reported by Upl.uz. One of the most significant events that reflects the complexity of her legacy is related to the heir apparent, Prince Mustafa, being unable to marry Aybige Hatun, the niece of the Crimean princess. This event demonstrates the multifaceted nature of political games and had far-reaching consequences beyond personal interests. This planned dynastic alliance was of strategic importance. Mustafa's first favorite, Mahidevran, marrying Aybige Hatun, who came from the lineage of the Crimean khans, would not only strengthen the military-political alliance between the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate but also serve to elevate the status of the prince and his mother in the palace. For Hurrem Sultan, however, this situation posed a serious threat to her own children's chances of claiming the throne. Yet, the situation became even more complicated due to personal relationships. Aybige Hatun was opposed to a politically motivated marriage and her affection was directed towards the famous military commander of the empire, Malkochogʻlu Bali Bey. This very situation led to Hurrem Sultan's actions being influenced. Based on her influence and deep understanding of palace psychology, Hurrem engaged in conversations with Aybige, urging her not to give up her true feelings. During this process, rumors spread about plans for Aybige to elope with Bali Bey. Whether there were indeed plans to elope or if this was a skillfully orchestrated false information, the result was that Mustafa's marriage to Aybige was annulled. This was a serious blow to Mahidevran and Mustafa's supporters. Historians evaluate Hurrem's actions in two different ways. Some see her as a savior of Aybige in an unfortunate situation. According to them, marrying Mustafa would have condemned Aybige to an unhappy life, as the prince had many wives, making it difficult for her to be the primary wife. At the same time, Mustafa's subsequent fate is also significant evidence. Suleiman suspected him of treason and ordered his execution. According to Ottoman laws, when a claimant to the throne was killed, his male descendants were also to be eliminated. Thus, Hurrem's intervention is considered to have saved Aybige's life. On the other hand, many historians regard Hurrem's actions as politically motivated and part of a well-thought-out strategy. She orchestrated this event to weaken Mustafa and his family. This was part of her strategy to eliminate rivals in her quest to place her own children on the throne. From this perspective, this action is assessed not as a rescue but as a skillful political maneuver to weaken a rival. This event illustrates how personal drama in the Ottoman palace can manage political changes and highlights the necessity of evaluating the actions of historical figures from various perspectives. Hurrem Sultan's original name is not known, but according to Polish sources, she was called Aleksandra or Anastasiya Lisovskaya. Suleiman referred to her as "Hurrem," a word that means "cheerful" or "laughing" in Persian, reflecting her vivacity.

Former football player Aleksandr Bubnov expressed his opinion about the chances of the "Lokomotiv" team to compete for leadership in the upcoming Premier League season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. He noted that under the current circumstances, the "Lokomotiv" team can maximally secure the fourth place. At the very least, the team is not unlikely to remain in seventh place. In the meantime, their position may change, Bubnov said on the "Comment.Show" program. According to the expert, the upcoming match against "Sochi" is very important for the "railway workers" under the management of Mikhail Galaktionov. If "Lokomotiv" loses points, difficulties may arise for the team. According to the results of the last season, "Lokomotiv" finished the Premier League in sixth place. The next match in the first round of the Russian championship will take place at "Lokomotiv"'s home ground. They will host the "Sochi" team. The game will start at 18:00 Moscow time.

He was part of the "Atalanta" squad until 2023, but is now returning to a familiar team after being loaned out several times. In the last Italian Serie A championship, "Atalanta" finished in third place in the league table. In the summer, the club's head coach changed, as Gian Piero Gasperini, who had managed the team for many years, left his position. The team is preparing for the new season under the guidance of a new coach. Marco Sportiello's return will further strengthen the team's goalkeeper line. "Atalanta" aims to achieve high results with its strong squad.

Former football player Vladislav Radimov commented on the rumors regarding midfielder Dmitriy Barinov's potential departure from "Lokomotiv" and assessed the "Railwaymen's" chances in the new RPL season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Radimov, Barinov has been loaned to another team before, but he is staying with the team. There are also young players in the team, and "Loko" will not compete for gold medals, whether Barinov stays or not. Earlier, reports emerged that Barinov was being pursued by the Turkish championship team "Istanbul Bashakshehir." Additionally, it was mentioned that the French club "Metz" also wants to add the midfielder to their ranks. Barinov's current contract with "Lokomotiv" is set to last until 2026. Therefore, no definitive decision has been made regarding the player's future yet. The team's results in the new season will depend on the growth of the young players and the overall team performance.

The club continues to proudly express its history and region.

Former player of the "Spartak" team, Yevgeniy Lovchev, does not understand the team's decision to invite Anton Zabolotniy to the attack line. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. At the beginning of the summer, the 34-year-old forward signed a one-season contract with the "red-white" team. In an interview with "Match TV," Lovchev emphasized that the transition from players like Cherenkov, Gavrilov, Titov, and Alenichev to Zabolotniy is incomprehensible to him. At the same time, he expressed confidence in the team's head coach, Deyan Stankovich. According to the former player, it was the right decision for the "red-white" team to extend the contract with the Serbian coach. Lovchev called on the Spartak leaders to bring in truly strong new players for Stankovich and said, "Bring in good players, not players like Zabolotniy, and give the coach a chance to work peacefully." The first game of the 2025/2026 season will be held on July 19, Saturday. The "Spartak" team, led by Deyan Stankovich, will host the "Dinamo" team from Makhachkala.

Hans Virts, the father of Florian Virts, explained his son's choice. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. This summer, forward midfielder Florian moved from the "Bayer" club to "Liverpool," not to "Bavaria." He said as a father: "The rumors about an agreement with 'Bavaria' are not true. I couldn't promise anything, as the decision is made by Florian. At that time, all options were open. Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge made a great effort. I have a lot of respect for Hoeness. When Florian suffered a serious injury in 2022, he quickly assisted with the surgery in Innsbruck. We will never forget this. Therefore, my last conversation with Hoeness was very difficult for me. Of course, he couldn't hide that he was disappointed. He worked hard for the transfer. In his company, Florian also had good ideas about how to adapt to the "Bavaria" game. Everything was decided in the details: the difference in the sports situation and Florian's role. Financially, there was no significant difference between the clubs' offers. Florian saw moving abroad as a new challenge both personally and in sports. That’s why he chose "Liverpool," said Hans Virts to Der Spiegel.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
