We are all well aware of the United Nations, which has lost much of its relevance; NATO, teetering on the brink of collapse; and the CIS, effectively frozen. The great institutions of high-level politics are stalling as the world cracks at the seams. But while some structures fade, others are born. Have you ever heard of the Assembly of the Peoples of the World?

From Eurasia to the Planet

Lima. The Pacific Ocean. Tropical sun that almost never shines through the famous grey mist. Somewhere in Miraflores, the upscale district of the Peruvian capital, a Russian woman is cooking borscht while a Spanish-speaking metropolis hums outside her window.

In a land where the majestic Andes meet the Caribbean Sea, where Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, plunges from the sky onto the lost world of the tepuis, lies a country of striking contrasts: Venezuela.

In terms of population, Brazil ranks sixth in the world. The nation was formed on the basis of alliances of representatives of the Caucasian, Mongoloid and Negroid races.

There are many myths and legends about schools in America, which, in many respects, are the product of the Hollywood "dream factory" and news reports. What are the schools in America really like?

 The main difference between US schools and European schools is the development of a number of psychological approaches that received general approval in the second half of the 20th century.

 The Colony (Colonia /Dignidad/) movie contains many shocking and brutal scenes that are not meant for nervous spectators and children. The story of Lena and Daniel is contrived, but it is based on real events that took place in Chile. The story keeps the viewer in full attention until the very last second, and the film itself is an example of a good European thriller.

Occupying a narrow strip of land of the South American continent between the Andean range and the Pacific Ocean, the Republic of Chile has a number of climatic features and a variety of geographical landscapes that significantly influence the development of the state. Depending on the climatic zone and the terrain, the country is divided into three regions:

• the northern region with the Andes plateau and the arid areas of the Atacama Desert;

• middle belt with Mediterranean climate and lush vegetation of valleys;

 In South America, 450 kilometers from the Peruvian capital, the city of Lima, the plateau of the Nazca desert is located, which became widely known about eighty years ago.

 It is quite a deserted place, dominated by strong winds, which direction depends on the season. Plateau is considered to be one of the most arid places in the world. Rains fall two to three times a year. People have always avoided building dwellings in this area. However, this was true until the forties of the twentieth century.
