Sustainable fashion, that is, the one that is concerned with issues of ethics and ecology, is gaining momentum - including in Russia. One of the projects focused on a responsible approach to the sale of clothing is PLACE (ddmm): the market for local brands, a lecture center and a charitable undertaking united under this name. On March 17, the third PLACE will be held in Moscow: we asked Ksenia Shabalin, who invented him, about her path in the fashion world and how to make a large-scale project almost alone.

Svetlana Bakhmina, ex-lawyer of YUKOS and a defendant in a lawsuit against an oil company, ended up in Mordovia colony No. 14 in 2004 and spent there five years. After her release, she returned to legal practice and established the “Extend a Hand” Foundation for Women Prisoners. Specially for Wonderzine, Svetlana spoke about life in women's colonies, the relationship between women prisoners and the specifics of their rehabilitation after release.

The difficult life of stylists has been known for a long time, but so far, instead of suitcases and huge bags of clothes, discount cards in all dry cleaners of the hometown and lots of "guarantees" in which hundreds of thousands of rubles are written on you, many see only an endless party. Someone from the stylists takes for fashion magazines, someone advises private clients and goes shopping with them, and someone works with celebrities and helps them choose clothes for shooting video and instagram, concerts and various events.

My name is Ira, I am 27 years old, and I decided to try 50 kinds of sports in a little over four months. But in order to tell what led me to this, I will go back a step. For a year and a half, I wore sneakers every morning, stuck headphones in my ears, pressed the "Run" button in my application, and ran out of the doorway.

Since childhood, we all learned from the cinema that every American student has a locker for personal belongings, American football or baseball takes up no less time in his schedule than mathematics, and there is no replacement shoe at all. What else is an ordinary school in the United States different from Russia, as the director participates in her life, and what happens in parent meetings, we were told by Maria Baker, a Spanish teacher at Eagle Valley High School.

No matter how much we talk about body positivism, it’s not possible for everyone to adopt their own body, which is different from the conventional ideals of beauty. That is why it is especially interesting how life of those who consciously chose the appearance of the crowd, whether it is a tattooed face or a significant muscle mass, passes.

A photograph of a naked body on a girl’s personal page looks like a provocation to many. For example, after news of the murder and rape of Tanya Insurance, forum visitors and commentators on Facebook and VKontakte interpreted nude pictures in the profile of the victim as an excuse for rape and murder. Or they presented what they did as a punishment for the fact that the girl was "not so innocent" - some publications operated on this phrase.

Olga Romanova, founder of the Rus Sitting Charitable Foundation, publishes a book of the same name, which contains stories about the life of Russian prisoners and their families. On the eve of the book’s release, illustrated by Oleg Navalny’s drawings, we talked to its author about the female colonies and the female face of the Russian penitentiary system, how the lives of mothers and children separated by the zone are made, and what it is like to devote ten years to studying the terrible a world about which most compatriots still do not know almost nothing, but which, nevertheless, is always near.

The complex construction of “Rokitansky-Kuestner-Meier-Hauser syndrome" (MRKH) refers to a situation in which a woman is born with absent or insufficiently developed sex organs. Variants of the disease can be different: often with MRKH there is no uterus, and the vagina is shortened, although the vulva looks as usual; it happens that the syndrome affects the kidneys.

Although Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is common, its causes are still poorly understood, diagnosis is difficult, and treatment is always carried out comprehensively. With this disease, the processes of maturation of follicles in the ovaries are disrupted, ovulation does not occur and multiple cysts appear (hence the "polycystic" in the name), filled with fluid.

The problem of harassment in schools is acute, including because adults - teachers and parents (both aggressors and victims of bullying) - still prefer to close their eyes to it. But this does not mean that vicious practice does not need to be fought or that this struggle cannot be successful. Natalia Tsymbalenko, a Moscow government employee, tells how she managed to stop the persecution at the school where her son is studying.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease in which the normal functioning of the mucous membranes is disrupted, primarily affecting the processes of respiration and digestion. A person with this disease needs constant inhalation of drugs, drugs for digesting food, antibiotics for preventing infections; frequent exacerbations and hospitalizations make it difficult to learn and work.

This year, the focus of the fashion industry has shifted even more to "non-standard" models, in particular - age models. Women who are over fifty and even sixty years old become the heroines of advertising campaigns, are removed for the covers of magazines and open shows, as it was at the autumn show Vetements. It seems that the world is slowly but surely moving towards accepting a variety of beauty.

A drinking husband is a classic image: scary, sad, but quite ordinary. The drinking woman is still perceived as nonsense. In my best times, my mother was beautiful. She was incredibly vital - and vulnerable. Very open to everything - sometimes this openness became painful, turned into attempts to force other people to open too, even if they didn’t want it.

We have repeatedly talked about mass anti-scientific movements - homeopathy, anti-vaccination movement and HIV-dissidence. It seems that a modern person would not think of abandoning treatment with proven effectiveness that can save lives - and yet the news every now and again reports the death of children whose parents did not consciously treat them.

There are more and more inclusive programs, and in the coming year in the cinemas there will even appear equipment for supplying films with subtitles and typed comments. But the attitude towards people with disabilities does not look optimistic. On the one hand, people with visual peculiarities are told that they do not try to limit life to their full value, hinting that in a world where visual information is occupied by the visual information, they cannot cope.

Talking about relations of this kind, it is difficult not to slip into accusations and not to hit the pathos. I'm not sure that I will succeed. It is also hard to talk about this because this story concerns my loved one. Nevertheless, I am convinced that my experience should be recorded. If only because of a dozen articles I have read on the topic, only one was devoted to the description of the victim.

On December 11 last year, Dmitry Grachev took his wife Margarita to the forest near the town of Serpukhov. The man tortured the girl for an hour and a half, cut off her hands, and then took her to the hospital. The girl managed to restore one hand, and the second one replaced the prosthesis. In late September, Dmitry Grachev was deprived of parental rights, the verdict on other cases has not yet been rendered.

Working in zones of military conflicts seems to be a lot of “non-female” work - even despite the traditional image of a bold nurse helping the military on the battlefield. We talked with Catherine, who collaborates with the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, about the missions she visited, the difficulties and what helps her to recover during a peaceful life.
