On behalf of the city's mayor, Vyacheslav Mildzikhov, the birthday girl was congratulated by Madina Khodova, deputy head of the Vladikavkaz City Administration, and Igor Shatalov, head of the administration of the North-Western and Zaterechny districts. They presented Sonya Sochinoevna with a congratulatory address, a basket of fruit, and a bouquet of flowers.

According to Sonya Kazayeva, the secret to longevity is simple. “You have to love life, family, and work,” says the birthday girl.

The first international festival of authentic cinema, Alania, has opened in Vladikavkaz.

The opening ceremony was attended by Madina Khodova, deputy head of Vladikavkaz, and Ruslan Marzoev, head of the city administration's culture department. The Vladikavkaz City Hall is co-organizing the festival.

The main goal of the cultural event is to establish a cinematic dialogue between Russian regions and foreign countries. In the final stage of the festival's competition program, 39 feature films, documentaries, experimental films, and animated films will be screened.

Vladikavkaz Kindergarten No. 107 has received new robots.

The preschool has been operating a children's digital laboratory called “Experimentarium” for several years. Thanks to cooperation with the company Scientific Entertainment, two new robots have appeared in the kindergarten: the voice-controlled Naum complex and the Smart Greenhouse.

As noted by kindergarten director Raisa Batyrova, the institution has joined a program to test modern digital interactive equipment.

The kindergarten has created all the conditions for the successful development of each child. One of the main tasks of the kindergarten's teaching staff is to involve children in a modern interactive educational environment filled with educational and play equipment.
