Children and teenagers daily chat with friends and classmates on instant messaging apps, maintain social media accounts, engage in discussions on industry forums, and leave comments on videos and posts by their favorite bloggers and artists. They also make new acquaintances and friends in the digital environment and gain knowledge. However, the availability of personal data and user anonymity pose hidden threats: children and teenagers can face online bullying, ridicule, and attacks from strangers because of their opinions, interests, or appearance.

Every first Thursday in November is dedicated to the International Day Against Bullying, including Cyberbullying. On this day, experts from the capital's Department of Information Technology (DIT) reminded parents about the rules of environmentally friendly communication and digital safety and gave advice to parents on how to protect children from cyberbullying or minimize its consequences.

What is cyberbullying?

Bullying, or harassment, is systematic aggression against one person by another or a group of people, while cyberbullying, or digital bullying, is attacks and psychological violence on the internet, for example, on social networks, instant messengers, groups, online game chats, and on thematic forums.

The bully ridicules the other person's opinions and words, tries to publicly devalue them, provoke them into losing their composure, and sends threats. Bullies may also conspire to exclude the victim from a public chat or community. Sometimes, this even leads to so-called framing—hijacking the victim's account and publishing deliberately false or negative information in their name.

"Unfortunately, just like in real life, no one is immune to conflicts, aggression, and bullying in the digital environment. Arguments and conversations occur without direct physical contact, and the victim often doesn't personally know the bully. Children and teenagers are more vulnerable and can't always cope with attacks from strangers on their own, and the psychological trauma and consequences of such bullying are no less dangerous than in real life. Thanks to the cybersecurity section on the mos.ru portal and a recording of the online project "Call Back Yourself," you can learn more about how to respond to offensive comments and insults online, as well as simple rules of digital hygiene and eco-friendly online communication that will be useful for children and parents," said Valentina Shilina, project manager.

Call me back yourself capital Department of Information Technology.

Why do children share personal information online?

Schoolchildren find friends online who share their interests—some are into anime, build model airplanes, collect action figures, and love computer games. They post a lot of personal information on sensitive topics to find like-minded people: their age, school number, personal information, their creative work, photos, and videos.

Children and teenagers don't yet have fully developed critical thinking skills. They may not understand that a new online friend's questions are sometimes motivated not by genuine interest in the child's personality, but by an attempt to discover more sensitive information and vulnerabilities. Aggressive users may use this information to start bullying.

The dangers of online bullying

The danger of online bullying is that it can have long-term consequences. If hurtful words and aggression towards the victim continue daily, they severely undermine a child's psychological health and self-confidence. Children may feel trapped, unaccepted by the world, and without a place where they can feel protected and safe.

Psychologists advise paying attention to the child's behavior and emotional background.

Signs that your son or daughter may be being bullied online:

– frequent depression, isolation, irritability;

– refusal to engage in hobbies;

– excessive passion for gadgets;

— the child hides with whom and on what resources he communicates.

In situations like these, it's important to create an atmosphere of acceptance and safety: have confidential conversations and don't judge your child for what they tell you.

How to Prevent Online Bullying

The most effective way to prevent cyberbullying is to instill healthy communication skills and digital safety in your child from an early age. And before they create a personal account on social media or other relevant resources, discuss content—what information can and cannot be published—and discuss rules for protecting profile privacy and sharing personal data with third parties.

Explain to your child that they shouldn't send photos or share personal stories with strangers or other community members. Behind the scenes, new friends may be hiding so-called internet trolls who don't share your interests but want to use the information against them. They deliberately provoke conflicts, write offensive comments, and humiliate others. Their main goal is to provoke a strong emotional reaction, anger, or tears in their victims. After receiving a response, the troll feels victorious and only escalates their attacks. Therefore, only add users your child trusts or knows personally as friends.

Experts offered some more tips on how to prevent bullying. Here they are:

— Teach your child the rules of digital behavior and respectful communication. Talk to them about respecting both personal and interlocutor boundaries, teach them to be sensitive to the interests and opinions of others, and to make balanced comments so as not to offend others;

— Establish a trusting relationship. Children shouldn't be afraid to admit they're being bullied or harassed. This will help reduce the psychological damage in the early stages of bullying and teach them how to deal with similar issues in the future;

Don't micromanage their every move. This may trigger resistance from your child in an attempt to assert their boundaries. Show genuine interest in their digital life: ask what games they play, why they like them, what communities they belong to, and who they interact with online.

Also, talk to your children and explain that not everyone is intentionally trying to hurt each other. Sometimes harsh comments or mean jokes may indicate that the author hasn't considered how the user will perceive them. Digitalization makes people anonymous—even profile photos don't give a complete picture of a person, so people often don't realize that the account or profile name is actually a teenager or younger child.

What to do if your child is being bullied online

If a child is being cyberbullied, the first step is to stop communicating with the bullies. The less emotion the bully sees, the less interested they are in continuing this cruel game.

Experts also recommend not engaging in open dialogue with offenders or trying to explain anything to them, but rather acting rationally:

— Complain to the digital resource's administration about an offensive or disrespectful message, and also report bullying—this will protect both your child and other users from aggressive behavior;

– block the offender so that they cannot leave comments or see content published by the victim;

— restrict public access to the child's account so that only friends and family can see basic information about them, and hide it from outside users.

Useful resources for children and parents

Experts from the "Call Me Back" project shared useful resources that will allow you to learn more real-life examples and hear other recommendations from experts and psychologists on how to protect yourself from cyberbullying and minimize its consequences:

— a recording of the webinar of the “Call Back Yourself” project, dedicated to internet bullyingHere you can get more advice from psychologists and cybersecurity experts;

— useful reminderIt contains key points and recommendations from experts, common mistakes teenagers make online, signs that a child has become a victim of cyberbullying, and advice on how to cope and where to turn;

— special project on the mos.ru portal Internet SafetyIt offers simple and useful tips on how to create secure passwords, protect your accounts from hacking, and avoid online scams.

The online information project "Call Back Yourself" was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government in collaboration with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the City of Moscow. It helps Muscovites protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. The project's website provides information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as expert tips and recommendations, recordings of past webinars, and other useful materials. In 2023, "Call Back Yourself" won the "Best Social Project Website" award at the Golden Site awards. It also received the Runet Prize in the "Information Security" category.

The creation and support of information security tools, as well as countering cyber fraud, are consistent with the objectives of the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State."

Moscow Academic Satire Theatre presented a major premiere – a musical Krechinsky's Wedding Based on the play of the same name by Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin. Directed by the theater's artistic director, People's Artist of Russia Evgeny Gerasimov, and second director Vladimir Gerasimov.

A Comedy Written in Prison

"How I could write comedies while facing murderous charges and a demand for a bribe of 50,000 rubles, I don't know, but I do know that I wrote 'Krechinsky' in prison," recalled Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin. The writer was charged with the murder of his common-law wife. While under investigation, he began work on 'Krechinsky's Wedding' and completed it in prison. Sukhovo-Kobylin was acquitted by the Senate, but society continued to consider him a murderer. After his release, the author wrote two more plays: 'The Case' and 'The Death of Tarelkin,' which continued the plot of 'Krechinsky's Wedding.' All three works were included in the trilogy 'Pictures of the Past.'

The comedy's plot originated from a Moscow joke about a card sharper who cheated a moneylender. Landowner Mikhail Krechinsky, to cover his debts, decides to marry his wealthy fiancée, Lidochka. Krechinsky pawns a fake diamond with the moneylender, deceiving both him and Lidochka.

Classics in the rhythm of a musical

Evgeny Gerasimov chooses an unusual genre for staging a classic play: a musical.

"There's no other production like this in Moscow, one that's unified by a single goal and executed flawlessly. It's the music, the ideas, and the meaning. The Satire Theatre has always had many musical productions back then, but it's a fleeting one—we're interested in a diverse audience, including today's. The music was written specifically for this production, the costumes were tailored specifically, the set was created specifically, the movement was orchestrated specifically—and all of this coexists precisely and in sync," he explains.

The musical breathes new life into the well-known work. Songs in a variety of styles reveal the characters' inner worlds, their experiences, feelings, and doubts, and the choreography perfectly matches the moment, whether it's a gentle lyrical waltz or a vibrant dance.

"This isn't a musical performance, it's a musical," the director continues. "It needs to be judged within the genre it's in. The Satire Theatre's performers are excellent singers and dancers, and we've also invited a fantastic ballet company. And we've brought it all together."

Fatherly love

The author, Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin, appears in the story, played by Evgeny Gerasimov. He appears at the beginning and end, introducing and concluding the action.

Along with the rich musical component, the dramatic foundation is also meticulously crafted. "My character and my storyline, along with the aunt and daughter—we are responsible for the plot, for ensuring the audience understands the story we want to tell. And all the others are accompanying musical numbers; we are responsible for the dramatic component," explains People's Artist of Russia Mikhail Khomyakov, who plays Lidochka's father. It is their relationships, dialogue, and actions that create the satirical and social core of Sukhovo-Kobylin's original play.

According to the actor, his portrayal of Pyotr Muromsky is the epitome of a noble family man. He possesses boundless love for his children, and his primary goal is to ensure his daughter's happiness by marrying her off well. The main drama lies in the cynical exploitation of this genuine paternal concern by the squandered card sharper Mikhail Krechinsky (Honored Artist of Russia Igor Lagutin). The father senses this and does everything in his power to protect his daughter. "This is a character relatable to most of the audience—those who have children," he concludes.

Karina Musa plays the role of Lidochka. Her character is a tender, touching girl whose soul desperately longs for true, bright love. She lives in anticipation of the beautiful fairy tale that marriage promises, and she believes in it with all her heart. Evgeny Gerasimov notes that the production "exposes the choice that determines the fate and tragedy of our young Lidochka, whose sincerity falls victim to the cynical hero."

Musical dramaturgy

In this comedic and spectacular production, the actors manage to create psychologically complex and contradictory characters. One such example is Vladimir Nelkin, played by Anton Buglak. He explains of his character: "On the one hand, he truly loves the main character and tries to be sincerely helpful to her father. But on the other, his desire to spy, eavesdrop, pry, and expose doesn't make any of the play's characters happy. And that's where I encountered a challenge in preparing and performing this role. Nelkin shouldn't alienate the audience with his desire for big revelations. He should be very charming, not come across as a proper bore, and not evoke hostility in the audience."

In "Krechinsky's Wedding," even comical situations are born from quite serious and recognizable life contradictions. "There's humor, an entertaining comedy of manners, social relevance, and a lot of contemporary elements," notes Anton Buglak.

Hope for the best

The play's creators also introduce other unexpected twists to the classic plot. For example, Lidochka's aunt, Anna Atueva (Lyubov Koziy), is much younger than the one the playwright imagined. Lyubov Koziy says of her character: "She's simply an older aunt. She's forty, tops—her prime. She really wants to make her own fortune, to be part of society, high society. Through her niece, Lidochka, Anna wants a good life not only for her but for herself as well. She's very playful, affectionate, and seems to sparkle with feminine energy."

The ending also changes. In the play, destinies are ruined, while in the Satire Theatre production, the characters are given a chance. "As the author of this work," explains Evgeny Gerasimov, "I present the ending differently, because people want love, to come to the theater and experience joy, happiness, to see a light in the window. At that time, it couldn't exist, but as the creator of this work, I, together with the company, provide this light—he, our Krechinsky, can become it."

"Let love win!"

"Krechinsky's Wedding" at the Satire Theater is a lighthearted, celebratory performance that brings the most pleasant emotions and hope for happiness not only to its characters but also to the audience. This story is born of surprising contradictions: created in prison, it brings joy, and, most importantly, even in a world of deception, cynical card games, and selfish motives, love can be found by winning the best match.

"I think this is an entertaining performance, like any musical," emphasizes Lyubov Koziy. "It doesn't have anything heavy in it, it's not overly loaded. I'd like the audience to remember the tunes of the songs. It's like a litmus test: if you watch the performance and then find yourself humming some of our songs, that's right and great. That means everything has worked out."

On November 5, members of the volunteer organization "Under Protection" delivered another shipment of supplies to service members in the Special Military Operations (SMO) zone. Since the organization's inception in the fall of 2022, its members have been providing assistance to soldiers. The total weight of supplies delivered to the front lines has already exceeded 319 tons.

The next batch included camouflage nets, drags, medicines for hospitals, dressings, bed linen, trench candles and other necessary items.

"In the fall of 2022, there were three of us activists. We started by collecting humanitarian aid for the soldiers. Our following grew, and we began weaving camouflage nets for military equipment and soldiers. At first, we did the weaving by hand, but then the father of one of the volunteers built a special machine. This sped up the process," said Alla Brutskaya, coordinator of the organization "Under Protection."

Made by hand

Today, the volunteer team consists of over 60 people. The Andrei Rublev Church in Ramenki has provided them with space. Father Andrei, the church's rector, explained that the soldiers need support, so parishioners actively assist the volunteers. He personally delivered humanitarian aid to the SVO zone by car three times.

Volunteers are making several types of camouflage nets, from standard three-by-five-meter sizes to the largest, six-by-ten-meter ones. According to Alla Brutskaya, the total number of camouflage nets produced is so large that they could cover approximately 50 football fields.

In addition, volunteers sew and sterilize dressing packs, make chlorhexidine-impregnated wipes and trench suppositories, produce mobilization splints and sleds for the wounded, and make helmets, camouflage capes, and pillows for hospitals. Volunteers perform some of their work from home. They receive information about the specific items needed through feedback from soldiers.

"For example, we often receive requests from the front lines for anti-drone curtains, which not only conceal and camouflage military equipment but also serve as reliable decoys for UAVs. Some guys from the front sent us a short video of a drone getting entangled in these curtains, which resemble a large net. The artillerymen themselves also found shelter beneath them, and all of them survived," said Natalya Seraya, a volunteer.

Members of the "Under Protection" organization also work in hospitals, where they help care for the wounded and organize the collection of necessary items for the soldiers.

How to join

To join the volunteer team, you can come to the Andrei Rublev Church in Ramenki during its opening hours—from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Anyone is welcome to participate in the humanitarian aid collection. The donations include thermal underwear, antiseptics and bandages, medications, and energy bars. Preparations have already begun for New Year's gifts for military personnel, including food, letters, and cards from children.

Donations are accepted at 2 Ramenki Street, Andrei Rublev Church. For more information on volunteering and fundraising, please call 7 499 739-30-53.

The exhibition "Life of the NRA" has opened in the lecture hall of the Slovo Museum of Slavic Literature in Pavilion No. 58 at VDNKh. It explores Russian avant-garde artists' experiments in the graphic representation of text, their bold visual solutions in working with letters, words, and books.

The avant-garde brought many innovative ideas to the world of art—artists and poets, breaking with old conventions, strove to create new expressive forms. The exhibition "Life of the NRA" will explore how and why avant-garde artists incorporated letters and words into the world they depicted.

The central part of the exhibition features a section dedicated to the Futurist book. This multimedia exhibition, assembled from digital copies of books, explores the Futurists' work with letters and text. They didn't simply experiment with letter design and cover aesthetics; they created graphic images of texts that appeared as art objects on the page. Visitors will be able to browse these books on an interactive screen and view the originals in display cases.

The exhibition's graphic installations explore the main movements of the avant-garde, its renowned figures, and their experiments. For example, they explore how Velimir Khlebnikov created a "star language" based on word forms and understood by all peoples of the Earth, like the language of painting. Visitors can also learn how Alexey Kruchenykh devised a new transmental language, dubbed "zaum," which would serve as the basis for poetic works based on the principles of shiftology. Furthermore, visitors will learn how Vasily Kamensky conducted one of the most striking futurist experiments, filling a framework of geometric shapes with poetic texts in his "Reinforced Concrete Poems."

El Lissitzky's book "A Suprematist Tale of Two Squares in Six Buildings" was featured at the exhibition as material for a game, as well as a construction kit for children, which they can assemble to create their own book—an artistic object.

The exhibition will run until May 11, 2026. Admission is by ticket to the Slovo Museum.

Museum of Slavic Literature "Slovo" VDNKh is a museum and educational complex for children and adults, unique in Russia, a magnet for lovers of the Russian language and connoisseurs of architecture, culture, and history. Here you can learn about the development of writing in Russia and around the world, the role it plays in the lives of different peoples, and how it has intersected with spoken language over many centuries.

Holding events for VDNKh guests is in line with the objectives of the national project Tourism and Hospitality and is a key part of the VDNKh development strategy until 2030. More information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.
