The Dolch Sight Words list is the most commonly used set of sight words. Educator Dr. Edward William Dolch developed the list in the 1930s-40s by studying the most frequently occurring words in children’s books of that era. The list contains 220 “service words” plus 95 high-frequency nouns. These words comprise 80% of the words you would find in a typical children’s book and 50% of the words found in writing for adults. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier, because the child can then focus his or her attention on the remaining words.

The Dolch words are commonly divided into groups by grade level, ranging from pre-kindergarten to third grade, with a separate list of nouns. There are a total of 315 Dolch Sight Words.

What the West should have heard was about START: Moscow would no longer comply with this treaty and would prepare new nuclear tests. What does it mean? And why did this upset Washington so much?

The leadership of Ukraine has dramatically changed its rhetoric. Back in early February, President Volodymyr Zelensky categorically stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would not leave Bakhmut (that is, Russian Artemivsk). Now he said that this town is small and it is not planned to hold it to the last. It is clear that this is preparation for the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - the city has already been taken by Russian forces into a semicircle. But it's not only that.

VZGLYAD / Putin remembered Stolypin's words about Russia :: News of the day

Putin: Any success of affairs within the country is a victory

Putin gave parting words to business

During his address to the Federal Assembly, President Vladimir Putin recalled the statement of one of the political figures of the early 20th century, Pyotr Stolypin.

During his message, the head of state quoted the words of the politician: “In the matter of defending Russia, we must all unite, coordinate our efforts, our duties and our rights in order to maintain one historical supreme right - the right of Russia to be strong.”

More than 10 years ago, in 2011, the president noted that the experience of the reforms carried out by Stolypin is still relevant, including for Russia.

Putin suspended Russia's participation in START

Russia suspends participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), but does not withdraw from it, said President Vladimir Putin in a message to the Federal Assembly.

“I have to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty. I repeat, it does not withdraw from the agreement, no, it suspends its participation,” TASS reports him.

Putin also said that NATO's statement in early February calling on Russia to return to the implementation of the START Treaty, including the admission of inspections at nuclear defense facilities, is nonsense. But at the same time, Russia will approve if NATO wants to become a member of START, since many countries have nuclear forces.

Putin called the US demand for inspections of Russian defense facilities absurd

Putin called the NATO statement demanding Russia to return to the START Treaty absurd

NATO's early February statement calling on Russia to return to implementing START, including allowing inspections of nuclear defense facilities, is a theater of absurdity, President Vladimir Putin said in his address to the Federal Assembly.

He noted that it is known about the involvement of the West in the attempts of the Kyiv regime to strike at Russian strategic aviation bases. “The drones used for this were equipped and modernized with the assistance of NATO specialists, and now they also want to inspect our defense facilities,” Putin said, stressing that this sounds like some kind of nonsense in modern conditions.

“At the same time, we are not allowed to conduct full-fledged inspections within the framework of this agreement (…) and we cannot really check anything,” he said.

He added that the goal of the US and NATO is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, and at the same time they want to drive around Russian defense facilities, TASS reports.

The President noted that he had signed a week ago a decree on putting new ground-based strategic systems on combat duty. “Are they going to stick their nose in there too? Do they think that we will let them in so easily?” he asked.

By making this statement, NATO, in fact, declared its desire to become a member of the START Treaty. “We agree with this, it is long overdue,” he said, recalling that not only the United States, but also other NATO countries have nuclear forces, and they are also directed against Russia.

I propose to establish a vacation of 14 days every six months for all military personnel, without taking into account the road, so that each soldier has the opportunity to visit their families, President Vladimir Putin said in a message to the Federal Assembly.

Putin: No one took pity on those who lost their capital in Western banks

Russian citizens had no sympathy for those who kept their funds abroad and lost them at the beginning of 2022, President Vladimir Putin said during a message to the Federal Assembly.

“Recent events have convincingly shown that the image of the West as a “safe haven” and a haven for capital turned out to be a ghost, a fake. And those who did not understand this in time, who considered Russia only as a source of income, and planned to live mainly abroad, lost a lot,” the president said.

In the West, Russian entrepreneurs were “simply robbed”, even legally earned money was taken away. Putin recalled that he had previously warned Russian business with the phrase: “You are tormented by swallowing dust, running around the courts and offices of Western officials, saving your money. ” He noted that everything turned out just like that.

The head of state noted that none of ordinary Russians felt sorry for those who lost their capital in foreign banks. “I did not regret those who lost their yachts, palaces abroad, and so on and so forth. And in conversations “in the kitchen”, people probably remembered privatization 1990s, when enterprises created by the whole country went for nothing, and the ostentatious, demonstrative luxury of the so-called new elites, ”Putin said.

“Even though the trait of a bald man can be used, as long as they fulfill their (the West's) will: they serve as a weapon against Russia,” the president said.

He noted that the "anti-Russia" project is part of a revanchist policy towards our country, to create hotbeds of instability and conflicts near Russia's borders.

Earlier, Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Putin's message would be studied all over the world. The President's message is broadcast on screens installed on the streets of major Russian cities.

“All the time when the Donbass was on fire, when blood was shed, when Russia sincerely – I want to emphasize this – was sincerely striving for a peaceful solution, they [the West] played on people’s lives, and played, in fact, as they say in famous circles, marked cards,” the head of state said.

He emphasized that this is a "disgusting method of deception" that has been tried many times before. “They also behaved shamelessly and duplicitously, destroying Iraq, Libya, Syria, they will never wash off this shame. The concept of honor, trust, decency is not for them. Over the long centuries of dictatorship and colonialism, they have become accustomed to being allowed to do everything, accustomed to spit on the whole world,” Putin said.

According to him, these states treat their own citizens in the same way, "disdainfully, in a masterly way." They deceived them with assurances of adherence to peace and UN Security Council resolutions on Donbass.

"Western elites have become a symbol of total and unprincipled lies," the Russian president said.

The world should not be divided into "civilized" countries and backward, and noted that Russia was open to a constructive dialogue with the West, and for many years offered to work on a joint security system.

Putin: The West has unleashed a war, and we will use force to stop it

The goal of the West is unlimited power, and Russia is defending its home, it was they who unleashed the war, and we will use force to stop it, Vladimir Putin said in a message to the Federal Assembly.

“No other country in the world has as many military bases on the territories of other countries as the United States does, the whole world is studded. The threat was growing, by February 2022 everything was ready for another punitive action in the Donbass. Everyone pretended that nothing was happening,” Putin said.

“They started the war, and we use force to stop it. The goal of the West is unlimited power, and Russia is defending its home, ”TASS quotes Putin.

According to him, the West has already spent more than $150 billion to aid Kyiv and supply it with weapons.

“For comparison: according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the countries of the G7 allocated about $60 billion in 2020-2021 to help the world's poorest states. Understandable, right? For the war - 150, and for the poorest countries, which supposedly are constantly taken care of - 60, and even under the well-known demands of obedience from the countries - recipients of this money. And where is all the talk about the fight against poverty, about sustainable development, about the environment? Where does it all go? Where did everything go? At the same time, the flow of money for the war does not decrease. They also spare no expense to encourage unrest and upheavals in other countries, and again all over the world," the president said.

Earlier, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the head of state, said that Putin's message would be studied all over the world. The President's message was broadcast on screens installed on the streets of major Russian cities.

Putin: More than 900,000 people died in the 21st century due to US-led wars More than 900,000 people have died in the 21st century due to wars started by the United States, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said in a message to the Federal Assembly.

Putin added that no one in the world has forgotten that the West has released the “genie from the bottle”, plunging entire regions into chaos, RIA Novosti reports.

“One gets the impression that accusations against Russia are made so that everyone forgets what the West has done,” the head of state said.

Putin noted, according to US experts, because of the wars unleashed by the United States since 2001, almost 900 thousand people died, more than 38 million became refugees.

“They are now simply trying to erase all this from the memory of mankind, they pretend that nothing happened, but no one in the world has forgotten and will not forget,” the president concluded.

The President's speech is broadcast by Channel One.

Putin gave parting words to business

President Vladimir Putin, in his address to the Federal Assembly, called on entrepreneurs to be with their Motherland.

“Now you should not cling to the past and try to sue something, beg for something, you need to restructure your life and work. Especially since you are strong people, I am addressing the representatives of our business, I know many people personally and for many years. Strong people who went through a difficult life school. Launch new projects, earn money, invest in Russia, invest in businesses and jobs, help schools and universities,” Putin said, TASS reports.

He also offered to invest in culture, science, healthcare, sports.

“This is how you increase your capital, and earn recognition, gratitude of people for a generation to come, and the state and society will certainly support you,” the president said.

“Someone wants to live out his life in an arrested mansion with blocked accounts, try to find a place in a seemingly attractive western capital or resort, another cushy place abroad. This is the right of any person, we do not encroach on it. But it's time to understand that for the West, such people have been and will remain second-class strangers with whom you can do whatever you want. And money, and connections, and purchased titles of earls, peers and mayors will not help here at all. They must understand that they are second class there,” Putin said.

“Somehow jokingly, addressing representatives of Russian business, I said: “You are tormented by swallowing dust, running around the courts and offices of Western officials, saving your money.” This is exactly how it all turned out,” the Russian leader said.

According to him, there is another choice: to be with your Motherland, to work for compatriots.

“Not only to open new businesses, but also to change the life around you: in cities, towns, in your own country. And we have many such entrepreneurs, such real fighters in business. They are the future of domestic business. Everyone must understand that both the sources of well-being and the future should be only here, in their native country, in Russia. And then we will really create a solid, self-sufficient economy that does not shut itself off from the world, but uses all its competitive advantages. Russian capital, the money that is received here, should work for the country, for its national development,” Putin said.

“In this regard, I consider it right to return to the revision of a number of norms of criminal law in terms of the so-called economic offenses. Of course, the state should control what is happening in this area. It is impossible to allow permissiveness here, but there is no need to go too far either. It is necessary to move more actively towards this decriminalization, which I spoke about. I hope that the government, together with the parliament, law enforcement agencies, business associations, will consistently and thoroughly carry out this work,” TASS reports the words of the head of state.

He also asked the government and parliament to propose additional measures that would speed up the process of deoffshorization of the economy. According to Putin, businesses in key sectors of the economy should operate within Russian jurisdiction.

“Business, primarily in key sectors, must operate in Russian jurisdiction. This is a basic principle,” the President stressed.

Putin announced the large-scale work on logistics and the extension of the Moscow-Kazan highway to Yekaterinburg

The Moscow-Kazan expressway will be extended to Yekaterinburg, such a decision has already been made, President Vladimir Putin said during his address to the Federal Assembly.

“In what areas should the partnership work of the state, regions, domestic business be focused? First. We will expand promising foreign economic relations and new logistics corridors. Decisions have already been made to extend the Moscow-Kazan expressway to Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and Tyumen. And in the future - to Irkutsk and Vladivostok with access to Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China. Which, among other things, will significantly expand our economic ties with the markets of Southeast Asia,” the president said.

Particular attention is paid to the international North-South corridor, Putin explained. Already in 2023, vessels with a draft of at least 4.5 m will be able to pass through the Volga-Caspian Canal, which opens up new routes for business cooperation with India, Iran, Pakistan, and the countries of the Middle East.

“Our plans include the accelerated modernization of the eastern direction of the railways, the Trans-Siberian Railway and the BAM, and the expansion of the capabilities of the Northern Sea Route. This is not only additional cargo traffic, but also the basis for solving national problems for the development of Siberia, the Arctic and the Far East,” the head of state said.

The President also said that such actions would give a "powerful impetus" to the development of infrastructure in the regions, including communications, telecommunications and the road network.

“Already in the next 2024, at least 85% of the roads in the largest agglomerations of the country, as well as more than half of the roads of regional and intermunicipal significance, will be brought to a standard state.
