Завтра исполнится 135 лет со дня рождения выдающегося французского пре-модерниста Мишеля Дюфе, состоявшегося как художник, архитектор, сценограф, декоратор, промышленный дизайнер и даже куратор дома-музея Эмиля Антуана Бурделя, на дочери которого Дюфе был женат.

Автор множества интерьеров, в том числе нескольких кают лайнера «Нормандия», и предметов мебели, еще не лишенных декора, но явно демонстрирующих движение в сторону функционализма и массового производства, Дюфе в 1929 г. представил ультрасовременную «машину для письма», стол, целиком изготовленный из цинка по заказу Астурийской металлургической компании, которая желала показать общественности возможности применения цинка. А в следующем году из ребра этого письменного стола Дюфе создал аналогичную «машину для дамского туалета», смягчив строгость цинка добавлением кожи и карельской березы.

Tomorrow marks 135 years since the birth of Michel Dufet, a very influential but lesser-known French pre-modernist who made a name for himself as an artist, architect, stage designer, decorator, product designer, and, being married to Rhodia Bourdelle, director of the Bourdelle Museum.

In 1929, Dufet was already a renowned designer of interiors (including for the SS Normandie) and furnishings that exemplified the aesthetics of Art Deco and, yet, showcased Dufet’s affinity for stark functionality and mass-production, when he came up with a “machine for writing on”, a writing desk made entirely of polished zinc, in response to a commission from Asturian Mining Company that wished to promote the potential of zinc. The following year saw Dufet create, after the likeness of the writing desk, a futuristic “machine for dressing at”, a vanity table made of zinc whose sternness was softened by the addition of Karelian birch and parchment.

Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." Founder Pavel Durov says tech is meant to set you free "We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said.
