GITJ Post 310: Back to the Study Clinics, p2

Karina Katasova, APRN, CANS, known around the office as “Karen” (but AKA Agent KLCTVxx0038цч/0FHMA007 or Subj F000025a-KK depending on to whom you’re talking) put on her mask and readied herself to step in and see her first subject of the morning. Bates, Thalia: nineteen years of age, the daughter of an American senator from the US state of Minnesota. Karina had worked with this girl before, at this clinical site once and several times in the Department of Psychosocial Engineering at Evolution Pharmaceuticals. She’d been taking to treatment nicely, and was weaponizing well.

Stupid man is in there by himself already, she spoke to herself, frustrated and exasperated as she adjusted her bra, settling her full bosom in her newly too-tight blouse, alone. What’s worse is that she heard them interacting, through the door, slightly ajar. “I’ve put on another 20 pounds doctor,” Karina heard the girl’s voice speaking, “can you tell me where it’s all going?”

‘Karen’ knocked once, waited a brief moment, then opened the door to the exam room. “Doctor, sorry I’m late b-…” she intoned before trailing off, the sight of her erstwhile “boss's” head being absolutely swallowed, engulfed by their mutual patient’s enormous bosom, taking Karina momentarily by surprise.

I warn him, we all warn him many times - need mask! she immediately thought, protective in her own way of him, one of her assets on this assignment. She stepped hurriedly in towards the supply cabinet over the sink. But he is stupid man. Should follow protocol if he know what good for him.

This girl, Thalia, Product Study #F8-021-TB, was typical of the several teenagers enrolled in this pre-rollout of Product: imprudent, incautious, impetuous. Perhaps because of their active, still-pubescent hormone profiles, girls of this age were taking very strongly to treatment, seeing fast, dramatic results that outpaced others. Pheromone levels were invariably off the charts, which excited the executives and other movement leaders. But these girls also tended to be reckless and soon after starting treatment they all began to follow similar patterns of impulsive behavior. They needed handling, sometimes closely. They were a handful but Karina, and others from the Department of Psychosocial Engineering, found them fascinating. And, most thrilling, they were certainly powerful. In what was already being called the Battle of the Sexes by some (while many remained oblivious to what was happening right in front of their faces) the teens would make great weapons.

Karina knew that Study Subject #F8-021-TB was no exception.

Exasperated again, Karen found that, when she opened the cabinet, all the masks embedded with synthetic Patient 0 pheromones were gone. “These rooms need stocking every morning…” she muttered to herself, shutting the cabinet in new frustration and knowing neither of the other two people in the room with her were listening. The Bates patient had intentionally flooded the room with pheromones and was now too busy blithely embosoming the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground in front of her, and Dr. J was, well, too busy being embosomed. Karen had heard the doctor say, at one point last week, that he had ‘concerns about how young some of these study subjects are,’ but he was not looking very concerned at the moment, buried to the ears. In fact, he looked ready to pass out.

Karina placed her hands on her shapely hips and, with a wry look of disapproval, addressed her young patient. “Thalia…” she began, “you know we’ve talked about this….”

“What..?” the girl answered, looking up from her seat but not releasing her arms from around the poor man’s head. His face was absolutely disappeared between her inflated breasts, the thin tee that this place used as gowns for some of these patients the only thing separating him from skin that was currently releasing pheromones of apocalyptic levels. “He’s just listening to my heartbeat…”

The doctor, who was necessary for the particular governmental requirements of this sham of a study, mostly for his signature, did not move. His arms laid limply at his sides. Karen took the moment to regard him, regard the room - which some of the silly young girls who worked here had taken to decorating like a teenager’s bedroom, complete with hanging plastic vines. She had to admit that seeing a small man like the doctor being overwhelmed and enveloped so effortlessly by a young female was thrilling.

She looked now again at her patient. Thalia had taken to smiling beatifically again, down at her little charge with a delicate smirk. She held him firmly to her breasts, his face caught between twin pillows that were easily larger than his head, and was trying to push him deeper, to completely hide him from sight. It was almost like Thalia wanted to engulf him, to make him disappear completely into her curves. Peklo, I would like to smother man too, Karen thought, momentarily overcome by desires that seemed, recently, to be building in frequency and potency. She understood where they came from, these prion-mediated impulses, but was still sometimes surprised by them.

Thalia, for her part, was looking down at the precious little doctor, held fast to her chest. She marveled at her own size, the way her tits just devoured his head. Karina heard her speaking, softly, almost to herself. “I’m so much bigger than I was when this whole trial started…” Thalia was saying, “Isn’t that right, my little boob-monkey? Bigger, bigger, bigger. Mmmm…boob-monkeys…all of you… gonna love losing yourselves in these…nnnn…”

And the doctor, for his part, seemed completely overcome, not putting forth even a ghost of a struggle despite the frankly life-threatening predicament he was in. Karina was tempted, so very tempted to do nothing, to watch this young, budding queen exercise her control and authority over this little man. But, she couldn’t ignore how purple the tips of his ears were becoming, and if he was actually harmed there would be a lot of paperwork to do. With a sigh, she cleared her throat, perhaps a little too loudly.

“Do I really need to let him go?” Thalia whined, sounding suddenly younger than her eighteen years.

“Yes, Thalia, for now,” Karen replied, evenly, hands still on hips.

With a petulant little “hmph” Thalia released the doctor, who fell back on his knees, catching himself with one hand to the ground. He was breathing hard, gasping for air, his face rapidly shifting from purple to a deep, embarrassed crimson.

“You okay, doc?” Karen asked, fighting to keep the amusement from her voice as he looked up at her in surprise, shocked to see her in the room with them, “Do you need a minute?”

The doctor muttered something, obviously confused and bewildered.

“Why don’t you step out, go get the cup of the coffee?” Karen suggested, dropping her voice naturally into the deeper, richer timbre she used with her patients, activating her laryngeal implant. She watched his face change, become both entirely focused on her and transfixed on another level. After years of training and some help from her own arcanely supplemented physiology, her suggestions could be nigh impossible to refuse, if she so desired. “In the breakroom? Down the hall?” she purred, “Wouldn’t that be the nice?”

“Y-yeah…just n-need to…er…coffee, breakroom…” he stammered, standing. Karen helped him, steadying him with a sure hand before sending him on his way on wobbly legs. He was compromised, and would be useless for a while.

“Go,” Karen commanded, and he immediately complied. The playful giggle of Thalia’s sing-song laughter chased him from the room.

The two women shared a silent moment, each in their own thoughts. “You’re about to use those Jedi-mind tricks on me, now, aren’t you?” Thalia eventually asked, looking up at Karen with an expectant smile.

Karina Katasova, APRN, smiled herself and pulled over the room’s rolling exam stool. “Yes, is that okay?” she asked.

“Omigod I can’t wait…” the young patient exclaimed, sitting up straight and leaning forward, ready for her treatment…

Spy x Family World Guide from the Official Fanbook: Eyes Only English Translation:

Ostania and Westalis

Two Neighboring Countries:

The differences in national systems and social structures have led to horrific battles between Ostania and Westalis, which caused not only soldiers but also many civilians to die. Although diplomatic relations and cultural exchanges between the two countries have been established to some extent, the roots of the war’s devastation are still gwaning at the hearts and minds of the residents and casting a deep pall of darkness over their lives. With the seeds of war smoldering in the air, both countries are secretly releasing operatives into each other’s countries. Due to the motives of the organization they belong to, the agents are engaged in a struggle that will never come out of the light of day.

Q&A:

Q1: What happens if you get caught by the secret police?

A: Some of them are released after being tortured, but are kept under strict surveillance. Many of them never return. Some of them, in their moment of weakness, even become agents of the secret police.

Q2: Has there an incident where in the Ostania’s assassination organization (GARDEN) been discovered or known to the general public?

A: No one knows their existence. Even in the secret police, there are only a few people who know about them, And of course, WISE has little to none information about them.

Q3: Please tell us the unit of money (Dalc, Pent coin)

A: 100 pent is equal to 1 dalc. 1 dalc is about 320 yen in today’s Japanese yen.

Q4: What’s popular in both Ostania and Westalis now?

A: In Ostania, it’s the drama “Berlint in Love”. I think it’s pretty popular since every first grader knows about it. Entertainment seems to be more developed in Westalis than in Ostania, so it’s likely that there will be various fads.

Q5: What’s the difference in military power and economic power between Ostania and Westalis?

A: Westalis has a richer economic power. I don’t know about military power.

Q6: Are there a lot of emigrants from Ostania to Westalis (or vice versa)?

A: It’s possible for people from Ostania to go to Westalis, but it’s unlikely for people from Westalis to go to Ostania. Going all the way to Ostania is smuggling yourself into the country for a mission or to see your family.

Q7: What’s within the story?

A: The technology is supposed to be from the 1960's~70's, but it’s the era when Apollo (Apollo 11) went to the moon, so it’s surprisingly modern (but of course, it’s somewhat different in real life). However, there is nothing like mobile phones or the likes in their time, and there’s no internet in general society.

Q8: Are there any intelligence organizations in Ostania comparable to WISE?

A: To put it plainly, there are two types of spy organizations: The Intelligence Division (the offensive side) and the Defense Division (the defensive side), WISE is Westalis’ Intelligence Division Organization and the SSS is Ostania’s Defense Division Organization. Of course, there is also a Defense Division Organization in Westalis and an Intelligence Division Organization in Ostania, it’s not necessarily one.

Eden College

A prestigious school for training future elites:

Geniuses from various fields gather at Eden College, which has a 13-grade system and enrolls students from 6 to 19 years of age. The school has approximately 2,500 students, tuition fees are expensive, as are the uniforms, and kidnapping of Eden students are frequent. Only those who can overcome the strict educational curriculum will be able to spread their wings in various fields. In fact, the previous prime minister has also been a student there.

Q&A

Q1: What is the passing rate for the entrance exam?

A: It’s very difficult. Think of it as a considerably high ratio.

Q2: How much is Anya’s yearly tuition?

A: It’s about 5 to 6 million yen per year at the current market price in Japan. It will cost more if she was a dormitory student.

Q3: Who’s the most popular teacher on campus?

A: Mr. Green is popular with the students. Mr. Henderson is trusted by the parents. The tonitrus lady and Mr. Swan are hated by the students.

Q4: Why are they keeping animals like that?

A: It’s because there is an ample education on animal husbandry and agriculture. There are also a variety of other organisms that can be used to study ecosystems.

Q5: How many students live in dormitories like Damian and the others?

A: Dormitory students are much more numerous. There are fewer commuter students like Anya and Becky.

Q6: How big are the school grounds?

A: It’s about the level of a small town. I think it’ll be inconvenient if you don’t have a bicycle or a car to get around. There are various facilities such as small hills, a river for rafting, farms, training grounds, and a small old castle.

Q7: How many imperial scholars are there per year?

A: Just a handful. Students must collect 8 stella stars, so it is rare for students in the lower grade to become one.

Q8: How many students are dropping out of school/expelled every year? What about those students who are not expelled but have transfers to another school?

A: There are quite a few of them. Although it’s not as bad as the tonitrus lady, the school is very strict, so the punishment for the slightest thing can quickly accumulate to a tonitrus bolt. There are a certain number of students who cannot keep up with the high level education and voluntarily transfer to another school.

Q9: Are the uniforms different for each grade? Please also tell us how many classes there are and the name of the dormitories!

A: Students started wearing skirts and long pants once they’re in middle school and above. The dormitory looks like the diagram on the right in the initial draft of the series.

Dormitory Diagram:

Class Dormitory Name

1 Specter / Spectre

2 Klein

3 Cecil

4 Ward

5 Malcolm

6 Hamilton

7 Villiers (?)

8 Rose

Q10: Are the students obligated to wear their badge for both stella stars and tonitrus bolts?

A: Although Anya wore her tonitrus bolt honestly back home, students are not obligated to wear their badge.

which of your ocs actually go to school? and which of them are like, skipping school constantly/never enrolled?

So this ties into my headcanons for what type of schooling exists! As I've described before in a previous headcanon post, anything after middle school is effectively optional. And so most secondary schools basically encompass both high school and college.

Inkopolis Academy (which despite its name also has a Splatsville campus) has two options for students. There's the "Fresh" track which is basically just high school, and there's the "Deep" track, which takes you through college classes. The Deep track requires entrance exams and picking a topic to major in, and usually takes six years. You can tell them apart by uniform: Deep-track students wear the School Uniform, Fresh-track students wear the School Cardigan.

Fun fact: administration knows how important inksports are for the youth, so they let many students go part-time.

Most of my OCs go to Inkopolis Academy. Emily, Kaimana, Laszlo, Manco, Naomi, and Todaro are Deep-track; Callisto, Luna, Otani, Renzo, Taniwha, and Yma are Fresh-track. Ille and Walo have graduated from here. Kira had to drop out temporarily due to Agent/Captain work. Cleo got kicked out for bad behavior.

In contrast, Splatsville High School runs like a more traditional four-year high school. It's significantly more lax; no uniform requirement and they don't care if you cut class. It has a reputation for being filled with delinquents. Antonio, Ian, Milo, Susan, and Wanda are enrolled and they just skip constantly

And there's more than that. Shinji goes to Inkblot Art Academy, studying painting and music. Rube just got a full scholarship to study weapons engineering at the prestigious University of the Splatlands (Sheldon wrote a very strong letter of rec). Austin, Blake, Ika, Oscar, Ripley, and Viola just stopped after middle school - Austin and Ika basically forgot it was an option, Blake is lazy, Oscar and Ripley thinks it's uncool, and Viola opted to study on her own terms.

Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) is a federal law-enforcement agency tasked with detective work in both military and civilian spheres. Since the earliest phases of the armed conflict in the Donbas in 2014, the IC launched a number of programs for assisting children affected by warfare in eastern Ukraine. As the conflict developed into a full-scale war, the federal bureau started recruiting youths from the region to its cadets corps, sending them to several campuses around Russia. Anna Ryzhkova, a journalist writing for the independent outlet Verstka, has located and interviewed a number of Ukrainian teens who are now enrolled as cadets in these academies. (Their names have been changed to protect their privacy.) What she discovered was a tangle of moral ambiguities and outright violations of the rights of a child. With Verstka’s permission, Meduza has translated this reportage on the life of Ukrainian cadets in Russia’s law-enforcement schools.

Early admissions

In July 2022, 14-year-old twins Nikita and Denis were getting ready for kick-boxing practice in their home city of Donetsk, Ukraine. Then the phone rang. The caller, it turned out, was their school principal, who spoke for a long time with their grandmother, who was raising the boys on her own. The twins couldn’t make out what the conversation was about, but when their grandmother finally hung up, she said: “As soon as you’re back, we have to talk.”

That evening, the two teens learned that their principal was encouraging them to apply to the cadet corps of Russia’s Investigative Committee, a federal investigative bureau with several cadets schools around the country. “The three of us sat down together, talked about our plans for the future, and finally decided to agree,” says Nikita. “We picked Moscow, because it’s closer, and life is better there. It’s Moscow after all.”

The next morning, the twins got up at 8:00 a.m. and set out to collect their application documents, together with their grandmother. They had just over a day to get all the required papers, from transcripts to medical records, and the whole family was worried they might not meet the deadline. But they did.

By August, the admissions decision came: Nikita and Denis had been matriculated. In late summer, the brothers joined other eighth- and ninth-graders from the Donetsk region who had all been admitted to Russian military academies. All of them had the required entrance exams waived. When the bus packed with kids reached Russia’s Rostov region, the group was split in two: some of them were put on another bus headed to Volgograd; others flew to Moscow aboard a military plane.

Several months later, Denis posted a photo of himself receiving a Russian passport from the Investigative Committee’s head Alexander Bastrykin. His brother Nikita posted a similar status, declaring his new allegiance: “Russia is now my life,” he wrote.

Always with you

“The children of Donbas” (a painful phrase, since 2014, that quickly became a cliché of Russian pro-war propaganda) drew the interest of Russia’s Investigative Committee (IC) from the very start of the armed conflict in the region. The federal agency promptly started recruiting students from the conflict zone for one of its boarding schools, based in the urban development of Khimki, just outside of Moscow. The IC’s recruiters focused on the socially disadvantaged youths. At the same time, the agency boasted about sending children wounded in the conflict to Moscow, for treatment at Dr. Leonid Roshal’s well-known emergency children’s clinic.

With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, federal agents started visiting displaced Ukrainian children in Russian orphanages, bringing them gifts and “humanitarian aid.” These visits occurred in at least 10 different Russian regions, as calculated by Verstka together with the open-source project Kidmapping, which tracks the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia on an interactive map.

In the Kursk region, for example, the Investigative Committee sponsored a back-to-school drive for orphans from the Donetsk region. In Nizhny Novgorod, federal agents gave balls, jump-ropes, and table-tennis sets to “evacuated” children from Ukraine. Wounded children at Roshal clinic were visited by the agency’s chairman Alexander Bastrykin, who brought stuffed toys to give as gifts. When meeting with school-aged children, IC staff would mention their cadet corps and encourage them to apply.

The motto repeatedly invoked during these charitable visits, “no child is a stranger,” had been coined by Russia’s Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova, also famous for saying that “every child is our child.” It was also Lvova-Belova who thanked the IC and the federal agents for their help in “evacuating” Ukrainian children to Russia. This included Filipp, the teenage boy Lvova-Belova herself adopted upon meeting him in Russia. (According to Lvova-Belova, Filipp has since decided to apply to a law college, to work in the Russian justice system in the future.)

According to an internal report published by the Investigative Committee in its print journal, the agency had moved 323 children from Ukraine’s Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions across the Russian border. Only 181 of them were orphans. Upon entering Russia, 78 minors (28 of them orphaned) were enrolled in Russian schools, including military academies.

To mark International Children’s Day on June 1, 2022, the IC’s Bastrykin spoke before an audience of at-risk children, gathered for the occasion at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Some of them had recently arrived from the Donbas. Speaking to the whole group, Bastrykin told the youngsters that Russia’s future, its “power,” and the state’s “future victories” were all in their hands. As if to assuage their anxiety, he added: “But the Investigative Committee is always with you. We’ll always lend you a hand.”

‘I learned the anthem in no time’

In September 2022, the Investigative Committee reported that 43 children from the Donbas had joined its cadet corps that school year. By watching the public exercises performed by IC cadets in Moscow, Volgograd, and St. Petersburg, Verstka identified 12 of the teenagers who had come to the cadet corps from the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories.

A teen who grew up in Makiivka and is now enrolled in the IC’s Moscow cadet corps, starts every morning by watching the Russian state flag being raised to the sound the national anthem. “At 7:00 a.m. every Monday, the whole corps has to sing the anthem,” he says. “To be honest, at first I didn’t even know the words. But I learned them in no time.” After losing both parents, this boy was raised by his grandfather in Makiivka, where his life revolved around soccer. The Russian cadet corps seemed like the best option for his future. He gave up soccer, and now attends classes six days a week, leaning Chinese and the fundamentals of jurisprudence.

A ninth-grader from Donetsk joined a military academy in Volgograd under pressure from his mother. Because of all the shelling in their home city, she recalls, her son (the eldest of a large family) went to school remotely for a while. This made her anxious about the quality of the education he was getting. The boy wanted to become a pastry chef and resisted joining the cadet corps till the bitter end, she recalls. “He dug in his heels, but finally caved in under pressure. It’s the chance of a lifetime — you’ve got to try it, so that you don’t regret it for the rest of your life,” the woman told Verstka.

A 14-year-old from Shakhtarsk (also in the Donetsk region) was admitted mid-year. He says he still doesn’t understand why his classmates have to line up at the beginning of every class, “instead of just sitting down at their desks when the bell rings, like normal kids.”

Nikita, one of the twins from Donetsk sent to the cadet corps by their grandmother, was at first intimidated by people “in epaulettes” all around him. “Everyone wearing insignia, and you don’t even know the rules yet.” He worried he might do something wrong and get in trouble. Until he enrolled at the academy, Nikita didn’t realize that most of the cadets there are expected to become detectives: “The FSB, the Prosecutor’s Office, and places like that. You can even become a judge, if I’m not mistaken,” he says.

Education and indoctrination

Sasha, a 14-year-old cadet from Horlivka, was admitted to the cadet corps together with his twin brother, just like the twins form Donetsk and another pair of siblings from Shakhtarsk. Sasha and his brother now live in Volgograd. Their school newspaper, Kadetsky Vestnik, has described them as survivors of “the aggression of the Kyiv regime.” When they still lived at home, a projectile exploded next to their home. The paper celebrated the fact that they were now studying “the basics of military service.”

In conversation with Verstka, Sasha said that he’s learned to take apart a machine gun and to put it back together. In May 2023, the twins were promoted to senior cadets for their achievements. This was the high point of their school year.

The values outlined in the IC cadet corps’s charter include “allegiance to the Russian Federation” and “respect for public service.” The schools’ curricula also describe the kind of person that every cadet should aspire to be: children are not only expected to be moral and creative, but also to “embrace the fate of their fatherland as their own.” This fatherland is presumed to be Russia, since the students are also expected to root themselves “in the spiritual and cultural traditions of the Russian people.” Ukrainians in the cadet corps are treated and expected to behave as Russians, without any special distinctions.

Extracurriculars at the boarding schools also revolve around Russia’s various wars throughout history. Since 2022, talks about the “special military operation” (Russia’s official euphemism for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine) have been added to the standard repertoire of lectures about World War II (called, incidentally, the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and the more recent Chechen and Afghan wars.

In February 2023, the cadets took part in a conference on the antifascist youth movement. According to the conference report, the participants learned the importance of “resisting attempts to falsify history.” The following month, cadets in Volgograd collected toiletries, food, and clothes for the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine. They also wrote letters to the front.

For the international law attorney Olga Gnezdilova, these extracurriculars amount to the indoctrination of the cadets in violation of the international Convention on the Rights of the Child, with which Russia is still obliged to comply. “Article 29 of the convention,” Gnezdilova says,

makes clear that the education of a child should be about instilling respect for his or her parents, cultural identity, language, and home country. No matter how the [Russian] state might wish to help Donbas’s children adapt to new realities, it has a duty to respect their country of origin. Activities in support of people engaged in combat against Ukraine are clearly a violation of this principle. Children removed from the Donbas still have a connection to Ukraine, at least through their relatives and childhood memories. What we see here is clearly an attempt to re-educate them.

Another principle violated by educating Ukrainian cadets in Russia is what the Convention on the Rights of the Child describes as “the preparation of the child for responsible life in a free society, in the spirit of understanding, peace, tolerance, equality of sexes, and friendship among all peoples, ethnic, national and religious groups, and persons of indigenous origin.” Gnezdilova thinks that this rule is also undermined at the military schools where Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine is routinely glorified, both in classes and during extracurriculars.

The parents’ and guardians’ consent, the Russian lawyer explains, doesn’t make the situation any less illegal or unethical:

Both Russian and international law work in the interests of the child. Is it in the child’s interest, then, to be embroiled in intensive ideological conflict? But he is inevitably exposed to this conflict when someone tells him that it’s fine to be fighting against the people in his country of origin. In his dependent position away from home, away from his parents, in a foreign country, he has to agree with whatever the cadet corps imposes on him. Indoctrination through the education system is a powerful instrument, and it really does work. The younger the child, the easier it is to maker her or him absorb ideological principles. The state is clearly taking advantage of this.

Without grandma

All the cadets who spoke to Verstka about their experience of leaving the Donbas to study in Russia mentioned that the hardest part of getting used to things was homesickness. Although some students in the cadet corps are orphaned, it’s still the norm for students to spend their weekly leave at home with family.

Cadets from the Donetsk region at the Moscow military academy said their school makes an effort to entertain them on weekends. Excursions and museum trips are sometimes organized by the staff. Students from the Donbas are also permitted to use smartphones, while the other cadets can only use push-button phones. “This is because they can see their families while on leave, but we only have video calls,” says a student from Shakhtarsk.

A student from Makiivka said that the cadets only get 15 minutes for daily phone-calls during the week. “The first month was especially tough. I’d feel homesick but had no time to call. Every night at bedtime, you’d think how much you just want to go home already,” he recalls.

Many of the students could only see their families during the school breaks, when chaperones took the cadets from the Donbas back to their home region. Some families came to visit their children in Moscow. The student from Makiivka who gave up soccer to become a cadet says that his grandfather came to visit him last May, at the end of the 2022–2023 school year. The two of them stayed in a rented apartment not far from the school. They took walks and went to soccer games together.

The twins Nikita and Denis also expected to spend the winter break with their grandmother. She decided to come and see them in December 2022, and to stay through the holidays. Although the twins missed her a lot, Nikita says, both he and his brother knew that she was immensely proud of them and boasted about them whenever anyone back in Donetsk asked about the boys.

The day before their grandmother’s arrival, a classmate’s mother helped the twins rent her an apartment. It was on the 31st floor of a high-rise, and getting there required multiple transfers on the Moscow subway. But somehow the family found there way there and spent an evening together. They were extremely happy, Nikita recalls.

Then the boys’ grandmother went to sleep — never to wake up again. “Grandma died on the very first day of vacation. I guess she didn’t survive the long journey. She hadn’t been used to traveling that far,” Nikita says.

The boy struggled to describe the rest of the vacation. He recalls their commander coming to see them on his own day off and telling them to “be strong.” The boys themselves had to pay for their grandmother’s cremation, and took the money out of their stipends. Then their classmate’s mother, the same woman who had helped them find an apartment, took their grandmother’s ashes back to Donetsk.

“It was really sad to be at the cadet corps over the New Year’s break. The place was empty. It felt like we were completely alone there. But our classmate and his family helped us. They took us to Red Square for the first time. We also went to a skating rink. Only without grandma,” Nikita says.

Last spring, the brothers went back to Donetsk, where the first thing they did was visit their grandmother’s grave. Their uncle has stepped in as their new legal guardian.

Influential friends

Nikita, who lost his grandmother during his first year as a cadet, shares the story of a “friendship” that started between him and his chaperone during his first trip from Donetsk to Moscow. It began somewhat awkwardly for Nikita when he counted up the stars on his chaperone’s epaulettes and guessed he must be a sergeant. The officer laughed at his mistake: “Can’t you see I’m a colonel,” he said good-humoredly.

The officer, whom Nikita calls “Dmitry Borisovich,” is now regularly in touch with him and his brother. Although the officer doesn’t work at the cadet corps, he’s taken the twins under his wing. Once, he scheduled the brothers for a physical at the Russian Children’s Clinical Hospital, without any warning to the boys. It turned out that Nikita had a deformed septum, while his brother was partially deaf in one ear. “Dmitry Borisovich just noticed that I was using nose drops a lot,” Nikita says, “and that my brother was always turning his good ear to hear better.”

When asked if he doesn’t think it strange to be friends with such a high-ranking officer, Nikita assures Verstka: “You’re wrong to think anything. This is definitely friendship, real friendship.” At the time of the interview, Nikita was looking forward to a vacation in the Crimea, also promised by Dmitry Borisovich. Several photos showing the cadet with his arm around an adult man have since appeared on Nikita’s VK page. Verstka studied them closely and identified the adult in the photos as Colonel Dmitry Gorbunkov, presently the head of the IC’s foreign relations department.

When contacted by Verstka, Gorbunkov declined to comment on his role in the youths’ lives. “But thank you for your interest in the life of our cadets,” he said.

A year into their acquaintance, Nikita insists that he and Gorbunkov talk to each other as openly as any next-of-kin. At the same time, he cannot answer any questions about Gorbunkov’s personal life. He doesn’t even know whether his “friend” has a family.

Another cadet, who originally came from Shakhtarsk, says that he finally felt “at home” in Russia when he stayed at the camp called “The Day After Tomorrow” (established by the Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova to help traumatized children from the Donbas). Cadets from the same region were sent there during a regular camp session, mingling with the “civilian” children. Because “there was no schedule and everything was really comfortable,” the cadet recalls, he was finally able to relax.

Recalling the same trip, another adolescent mentions a visit from the Investigative Committee’s chairman, General Alexander Bastrykin. Several cadets confirm that Bastrykin spent the whole day at the camp, drinking tea with the cadets, chatting, and posing for group photos by the press wall. When one of the boys asked for an autograph, the general scrawled: “Wishing you success in our shared country — Russia.” Bastrykin also swam in the pool and went to the sauna with the cadets. “It was unforgettable,” says one of them, adding that Bastrykin made a formidable impression on him.

Nikita, who got sick and didn’t go to the camp, regrets having missed out. “Swimming pool and sauna — to me, it’s sheer luxury, and such prestige! I’ve never been to a pool or a sauna, except once, when visiting Dmitry Borisovich. He has his own sauna. It was so pleasant, I can’t even describe the feeling.”

‘Rough around the edges and completely guileless’

When meeting with the cadets, one of the teens recalls, Bastrykin told them not to worry too much about their grades. “You can make mistakes,” the general said, “you can be less smart that someone else, but what matters is how steadfastly you go after your goal.”

The Investigative Committee also appears to be pursuing a goal: namely, to increase the percentage of cadets who enroll, upon leaving the cadet corps, at the IC Academy, the agency’s own college that trains the IC’s federal detectives. In 2017, only six former cadets matriculated at the academy, but by 2022 that number had increased to 94. One of the incentives to enroll is that cadets get extra points on the academy’s entrance exams, which vastly improves their admission chances. In 2022, Bastrykin said that 100 percent of that year’s graduating class accepted jobs as IC detectives as soon as they left the academy.

In 2020, the IC reached a formal partnership agreement with the Russian-backed government of the self-proclaimed Donetsk “republic.” That year, 10 teenagers from the region enrolled in the agency’s cadet corps. One of them was a tenth-grade student named Margarita. In order to get in, she had to take entrance exams in history, social science, physical education, and basic military training. When, after graduating from the cadet corps, she applied the the IC Academy, the selection process was tough once again. The faculty at the cadet corps, however, urged the cadets to stay within the IC system, instead of “slipping into” the Interior Ministry or FSB structures.

Margarita says that she and her classmates from Donetsk “wondered for a long time” why the IC was so heavily invested in recruiting them and turning them into full-fledged detectives. She still doesn’t have a clear answer to this question. “Maybe, they just got an order from the top to help our children,” she guesses.

A source with knowledge of Russia’s law-enforcement system says that the IC chairman Bastrykin has several “bees in his bonnet,” one of them being juvenile justice and crimes against children. The speaker says that Bastrykin’s interests usually spring directly from his personal experiences. In the same way, he says, his interest in juvenile justice became apparent after his second marriage, when Bastrykin and his wife Olga Alexandrova (now dean of the Russian Law Academy) started having children.

Trying to understand the cadets’ own motives for trying to become detectives in the Russian justice system, Verstka wrote to one of the faculty members at the IC cadet corps, asking him to describe cadets from the Donbas. “To make it short,” he wrote back, “they’re kids like other kids. Some perform better than others, some get Bs and others Cs. Their main goal is to get into the IC Academy. Not all of them achieve this, but the motivation is there.”

Another faculty member described the same group of students as “good kids, a bit rough around the edges, and completely guileless.” Both faculty members declined to say more without approval from the school’s leadership.

The cadets themselves speak about their future as detectives in vague and general terms. The international law attorney Olga Gnezdilova thinks that neither the students nor their families may know much about the way this profession has changed over the past 20 years. Families who send their children to study in Russia from a region like the Donbas may know even less about what it’s like to work for the Russian law-enforcement system.

“In the early aughts,” she says,

a detective’s education was supposed to turn him into a kind of Sherlock Holmes, but today solving crimes isn’t much of an interesting or subtle art. We see the IC ignoring the really complex cases, while elderly retired people get prosecuted for writing what they think about the war on their social media.

Gnezdilova believes that the IC’s cadets who came from the Donbas are being trained in order to be sent back to the region later, since they already know it so well. By the time they go back, she says, “they will have developed a loyalty [to Russia] and corresponding political views.”

Starting this fall, the IC is planning to open cadet classes in two schools located on occupied Ukrainian territories, in Luhansk and Skadovsk (a city in the Kherson region). The principals of the two schools each signed an agreement with the IC’s director for education and pedagogy, Sergey Petrov.

How to Get a Real Estate License in Dubai?

Introduction

Dubai's real estate sector is renowned for its dynamic and lucrative opportunities. Whether you aspire to be a real estate agent, broker, or property manager, acquiring a real estate license is crucial to establishing yourself as a professional in the industry.

What is a Real Estate License?

A real estate license is an official authorization granted by the Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) that allows individuals to legally operate in the real estate market. It serves as proof of your competence and knowledge in the field, ensuring that you adhere to the industry's regulations and ethical standards.

Importance of a Real Estate License

Obtaining a real estate license in Dubai offers numerous advantages. It not only enhances your credibility and professionalism but also provides you with access to exclusive opportunities and resources. With a license, you can legally represent clients, broker property transactions, and benefit from the industry's vast networking and support systems.

Types of Real Estate Licenses

In Dubai, there are three primary types of real estate licenses:

Real Estate Agent License: This license allows you to work as a sales agent representing buyers or sellers in real estate transactions.

Real Estate Broker License: With this license, you can establish and manage your own real estate brokerage firm.

Real Estate Developer License: This license is required for individuals or companies involved in developing real estate projects.

Requirements for a Real Estate License

To qualify for a real estate license in Dubai, you must meet certain criteria. The specific requirements may vary depending on the type of license you are seeking. However, some common prerequisites include:

Being at least 21 years old

Having a high school diploma or equivalent

Step 4: Pass the Licensing Exam

Once your application is reviewed and approved, you will be eligible to appear for the real estate licensing exam. This exam evaluates your understanding of the real estate industry, local regulations, and best practices. Study diligently and prepare yourself for the exam by referring to the recommended study materials and resources. Acing the licensing exam is a significant milestone in your journey towards obtaining a real estate license.

Step 5: Obtain Sponsorship

In Dubai, it is mandatory to have a sponsorship arrangement with a licensed real estate company or brokerage to operate as a real estate professional. Seek out reputable firms that align with your career goals and approach them to secure sponsorship. Having a sponsor not only fulfills a legal requirement but also offers mentorship and support as you embark on your real estate journey.

Step 6: Apply for the Real Estate License

Once you have secured sponsorship, it's time to apply for the real estate license. Collaborate with your sponsoring company to prepare the necessary documentation and submit the application to RERA. The application should include details such as your sponsorship agreement, proof of passing the licensing exam, and any additional documents required by RERA.

Step 7: Background Check and Approval

Upon receiving your application, RERA will conduct a thorough background check to ensure your compliance with the regulatory standards. This includes verifying your educational qualifications, checking your criminal record, and reviewing your financial stability. Cooperate fully with the authorities and provide any requested documents during this process. Once your background check is cleared, you will be one step closer to obtaining your real estate license.

Step 8: Obtain the License

After successfully completing the previous steps, you will finally receive your real estate license from RERA. This license serves as official proof of your competence and eligibility to operate in the real estate market. It is essential to keep your license updated and comply with the regulations set forth by RERA throughout your career to maintain your professional standing in the industry.

What is an enrolled agent, and what are their responsibilities?

An enrolled agent (EA) is a tax professional authorized by the US government to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in matters related to tax issues, such as audits, collections, and appeals. EAs are licensed by the IRS after passing a rigorous exam covering individual and business tax returns, and ethical standards. They also need to complete 72 hours of continuing education within a three-year period to keep their license valid.

Enrolled agents provide a range of tax services, including tax planning, preparing and filing tax returns, responding to IRS inquiries, and negotiating payment plans with the IRS. They can work independently, as part of a tax firm or as an employee in a company's accounting or finance department. EAs are knowledgeable about tax laws and regulations, and they can help taxpayers navigate the complexities of the tax code to minimize tax liability and maximize refunds.

How To Evaluate Tax Preparers For Small Businesses?

Selecting the best tax preparer for small business in Mayfield Heights OH is a crucial decision for small businesses. A skilled and knowledgeable tax preparer can help small businesses navigate complex tax laws, maximize deductions, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. However, with so many options available, evaluating tax preparers can be challenging. Let's discuss key factors to consider when evaluating tax preparers for small businesses to make an informed decision that aligns with your business needs and goals.

1. Qualifications and Credentials

When evaluating tax preparers for small businesses, start by checking their qualifications and credentials. Look for tax preparers who hold relevant certifications and memberships in professional organizations, such as Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Enrolled Agent (EA), or Accredited Tax Advisor (ATA). These credentials indicate that the tax preparer has undergone rigorous training, passed exams demonstrating proficiency in tax preparation, and adheres to ethical standards established by professional organizations.

2. Experience and Expertise

Experience matters when it comes to selecting a tax preparer for your small business. Seek tax preparers with a proven track record of working with small businesses in your industry or niche. Ask about the tax preparer's experience, client base, and areas of expertise to ensure they have the knowledge and skills necessary to meet your tax-related needs.

3. Reputation and References

Reputation is an essential factor to consider when evaluating tax preparers for small businesses. Seek recommendations from trusted sources, such as fellow business owners, industry associations, or professional networks. Additionally, ask potential tax preparers for references from past clients and contact them to inquire about their experiences working with the tax preparer. Positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied clients are indicators of a tax preparer's professionalism, accuracy, and reliability.

4. Accessibility and Communication

Effective communication is essential when working with a tax preparer for your small business. Evaluate the accessibility and communication style of potential tax preparers to ensure they can meet your needs and expectations. Choose a tax preparer who is accessible, responsive, and communicative throughout the tax preparation process, as clear and open communication fosters collaboration and ensures that your tax preparer understands your business needs and goals.

5. Tailored Services

Select a tax preparer who offers tailored services to meet the specific needs of your small business. Avoid one-size-fits-all solutions and look for tax preparers who take the time to understand your business structure, industry, and unique tax circumstances. Whether you require basic tax preparation, strategic tax planning, or specialized advice on complex tax issues, choose a tax preparer who can customize their services to address your specific requirements.

6. Fee Structure and Transparency

Understand the fee structure and pricing model of potential tax preparers to avoid surprises and ensure transparency. Inquire about hourly rates, flat fees, or percentage-based pricing, and request a detailed breakdown of services included in the pricing. Beware of tax preparers who offer unrealistically low fees or promise inflated refunds, as these may be red flags indicating potential risks or unethical practices.

7. Compliance and Ethics

Choose a tax preparer who maintains high standards of professionalism, ethics, and compliance. Verify that the tax preparer holds relevant licenses and certifications and follows ethical guidelines established by professional organizations. Additionally, ensure that the tax preparer maintains compliance with regulatory requirements and adheres to best practices in tax preparation. Avoid tax preparers who engage in unethical or fraudulent practices, as these can expose your business to legal and financial risks.

Conclusion

Selecting the right tax preparer is a critical decision for small businesses seeking to navigate the complexities of taxation, maximize deductions, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. When evaluating tax preparers for small businesses, consider factors such as qualifications and credentials, experience and expertise, reputation and references, accessibility and communication, tailored services, fee structure and transparency, and compliance and ethics.

Impact on the business: Black Belts are essential to achieving operational excellence, cutting expenses, raising customer happiness, and improving quality, all of which contribute to the success of the business.

How to Acquire a Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma:

Obtain Green Belt Certification: People usually obtain Green Belt certification and obtain practical experience leading improvement projects before going after Black Belt certification.

Acquire Experience: To reach the Black Belt level, one must have hands-on experience managing and executing Lean Six Sigma projects.

Advanced Training: To prepare for the certification exam, enroll in approved Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training programs. These programs offer in-depth knowledge, case studies, and practical exercises.

Pass Certification test: Pass the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification test. This exam evaluates your knowledge of Lean Six Sigma tools, techniques, and principles.

Continuous Learning: The Lean Six Sigma methodology is based on continuous improvement. Black Belts should engage in continual learning and professional development activities to stay abreast of new developments in tools, trends, and best practices.

In summary,

obtaining the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification is the ultimate goal for process optimization and organizational excellence. Black Belts are equipped with the abilities, know-how, and leadership acumen necessary to effect lasting change and produce measurable outcomes. Becoming a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is a strategic investment with far-reaching advantages, regardless of your goals: career advancement or improved organizational performance.
