In a response video, Emelianenko suggested that Mikhail “be more careful,” as he might soon come to visit him at the gym.
The exchange of courtesies continued on the fighters' Instagram accounts, where they made notches on the bench press, stuffed a heavy ball, and fired from a broom.
In the end, everything ended with an agreement to resolve the dispute with the help of fists.

The venue for the fight was chosen "VTB-Arena"(Moscow, Russia) - a multi-purpose sports complex built on the site of the central Dynamo stadium in Petrovsky Park.The fight will take place in the VTB Arena Park ring, a small indoor arena that can accommodate up to 13,000 spectators during mixed martial arts.
According to what rules will the duel between A. Emelianenko and M. Koklyaev take place:
The duel will pass by the rules of boxing.Prediction for the fight Koklyaev vs Emelianenko:
On November 29, 2019, we will receive an answer to the question of what is preferable - strength or speed.Speed. Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko (younger brother of Fedor Emelianenko) has fought over a hundred fights in various martial arts. His manner of fighting is distinguished by courage, speed and entertainment. Now Alexander is in excellent physical shape, which means that in the upcoming fight he will be faster than ever.
Force. Eight-time champion of the Russian Federation in weightlifting, powerlifter Mikhail Koklyaev, "The Strongest Man of Russia" - is a multiple winner of international tournaments in power extreme sports. It is deservedly famous for its strength, courage and sports character. He claims that in order to knock out Emelianenko, he "needs only 1 hit."
If the fight between Koklyaev and Emelianenko is not a freak fight (staged, for the show), then Mikhail does not have much chance. Of course, there is a video where a strongman slaps 320 kilograms, and therefore, theoretically, he can knock out Alexander. However, Emelianenko is an experienced fighter who has been performing in mixed martial arts for a long time, and therefore is the undisputed favorite of the fight.

Story
During the reign of Peter I in Rus', the beginning of the academic year fell on the period from August to October, and in the villages - from December 1, after all the main agricultural work had been completed.
Until the 1930s, the start date of education in the USSR was floating, but in accordance with the decision of the Council of People's Commissars, it was determined that work in schools should begin in the fall and all children aged 8-10 years old are accepted into the first grade.
In 1935, a single date was adopted that determined the start of work for all schools - September 1. The graduation date depended on the class, as follows:
- up to grade 3 - June 1;
- from 4th to 7th grade - June 10;
- from 8 to 10 grade - June 20.
Now the regulations for the duration of training are set by the number of weeks:
- for grade 1 - 33;
- from 2 to 8 and 10 grades - 34-37, but mostly 34;
- for grades 9 and 11 - 34, except for state exams.
Vacation time is also determined by the number of weeks. Summer holidays must last at least 8 weeks, and during the school year must be at least 30 days. For the first class, the average annual vacation is 37 days.
In 1984, September 1 was officially recognized by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR as a nationwide celebration - the Day of Knowledge, which was added to the state holidays. F. F. Bryukhovetsky, Honored Teacher of the USSR, is considered the creator of the holiday.
Traditions
Usually the Day of Knowledge is most solemnly celebrated in schools. Children, depending on the class, line up in the school yard and hold a solemn line. More attention is paid to first-grade students and their first official acquaintance with the school.
By tradition, children and parents present bouquets of flowers to their teachers on September 1, say congratulations and words of gratitude.
After the line, a peace lesson, an introductory class hour and a lesson on labor protection are held. Schoolchildren do not study on this day.
Parents of schoolchildren usually congratulate their children after all the activities by going to a cafe. Middle and higher educational institutions do not hold rulers. For senior students, studies are already starting on September 1, and for first-year students, a meeting dedicated to the initiation into first-year students is held.
On September 1, the head of state and the leadership of the administrative regions come to some educational institutions and make a solemn speech.
August 29th. The bill proposes to assign to local governments the right to postpone the start date of the academic year in educational institutions to October 1. Traditionally, the Knowledge Day holiday will continue to be held on September 1, however, municipalities will be given the opportunity to postpone it depending on objective conditions. “The establishment of September 1 as a single date for the start of the academic year is dictated by a long tradition of unity of command and leveling uniformity, reinforced by the establishment of the Day of Knowledge on this date,” the deputies are sure.
They also believe that the vast geography of Russia, the diversity of its climatic, national and social characteristics make us think about a different approach to determining the start date of the academic year. “The adoption of the bill will allow for a more flexible approach to resolving the issue of the beginning and end of the school year in educational institutions, as well as more efficient use of the warm season for children to have a good rest,” the explanatory note of the bill says. Earlier, the head of the faction explained this initiative by the fact that the transfer of the academic year would prolong the summer due to the warm September. In addition, many parents go on vacation during the velvet season and often take with them children who are still absent from classes for a good part of September.
In the event of a postponement of the start of classes, the State Duma noted, the academic year of classes should end "in accordance with the curriculum of the relevant general education program."
Does this mean that the academic year will end a month later, or whether the curriculum will have to be completed in an accelerated mode, the document does not specify.
Director of the Moscow Lyceum No. 1535 Tatyana Vorobyeva is sure that the bill will not be accepted in the State Duma. “For Moscow, this is an irrelevant issue: all the more so, all metropolitan schools are subordinate to the Department of Education and the Moscow government. This is not the level of the municipality. Do not forget about the final state certification. We cannot shorten the school year by four and a half weeks: this is unrealistic. We already have one of the biggest vacations in the world: I see no reason to extend them in order to more effectively use the warm season for recreation. The State Duma will not be able to make such a decision. Then the law on the Unified State Examination will have to be changed,” the director is sure.
The director of the Institute for the Development of Education, told Gazeta.Ru that individual educational organizations can postpone holidays even without new bills. “This requires coordination with the governing council, as well as an agreement with the municipality. However
the proposal to give all schools a whole month to reschedule seems to me devastating. This will mean the postponement of summer holidays, vacations for teachers.
This is not the first time this risky idea has been discussed: at one time, they wanted to postpone the start of the school year to September 15, ”she said.
The expert also noted that the teaching staff is always thoroughly preparing for the celebration of the beginning of the academic year. “I think blurring key annual launches is very risky. This will not only make school programs change, but will also complicate the life of working people who will have to devote all their time to the child for another month, ”Abankina shared.
It should be noted that this year the transfer of the Day of Knowledge has become especially relevant due to the fact that the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha falls on September 1. So, because of this, in the Moscow school No. 2107, located next to the Cathedral Mosque, a solemn line will be held on September 4.
The Mufti of the capital told reporters that the capital's Muslims consider it reasonable to postpone the solemn assembly on September 1 at a school near the Cathedral Mosque because of Eid al-Adha. The Mufti noted that tens or even hundreds of thousands of believers gather inside and around the mosque, so the transfer of school rulers was adopted “based on the same security considerations, where everyone could spend their holiday without embarrassing each other and without creating uncomfortable conditions For others". Alyautdinov stressed that such a decision takes into account the interests of all "equal residents of the capital." At the same time, the first deputy, in turn, proposed to shift the school holidays by an hour or an hour and a half, since the celebration at the mosque will begin at seven in the morning and last for 45 minutes: after that, the believers will disperse.
Because of Eid al-Adha, the school year will start a day later in schools in Ingushetia. In Karachay-Cherkessia, September 1 is declared a day off, but schools will hold festive lines. In the city of Beslan, located in North Ossetia, the holiday of the beginning of the school year was postponed in connection with the Days of Remembrance for the victims of the terrorist attack on September 1-3, 2004. The academic year at Beslan School No. 1 will begin on September 4th. In other schools of the republic, the lines will begin with the announcement of a minute of silence in memory of the victims.
"Far Eastern hectare" for Kaliningrad schools
The tradition of celebrating the Day of Knowledge annually began to take hold in Russia during the time of Peter the Great. However, even then, not all schools began the school year on September 1: in some educational institutions, it began at the end of August, mid-September or October.
Until the mid-30s of the 20th century, there was no exact date for the start of the school year in the USSR. In August 1930, the Council of People's Commissars decreed: "All children aged 8-10 were to be admitted to school in the fall."
They came to a single date only on September 3, 1935, when the Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks established in all schools of the USSR the beginning of classes from September 1 and their end - June 1 (for the first three classes), June 10 (for 4-7th grades). classes) and June 20 (for high school students).
The Day of Knowledge holiday itself was officially fixed in October 1980, when the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR “On holidays and memorable days” was issued.
On September 1, ceremonial lines, class hours, safety and courage lessons are traditionally held in educational institutions. Recently, on August 24, 2017, it became known that all Russian schools were required to hold a lesson on state security on Knowledge Day. The department said in a statement that the lesson will be called "Russia Aiming for the Future." All schoolchildren from grades 1 to 11 will learn about “important directions in the development of the country, promising areas for applying their own talent in three, five or ten years, as well as opportunities for their own development in Russia.” Teachers will be required to focus on conservation, science and technology, and politics. In addition, children will be told about the innovative economy and the Far Eastern Hectare program.
“Schoolchildren need to be aware of their place in modern Russia and its development, to clearly imagine the possibilities of building a career, creating a family, in conditions of economic and social security guaranteed by the state,” the Ministry of Education believes.
Singapore: business - time, vacation - a month
The authors of the bill note that in many countries there is no fixed date for the start of the school year. “Schools independently set the dates for the beginning and end of the academic year, the duration of the holidays. For example, the federal states of Germany independently determine the period of the school year and holidays. Spain has a floating start date for the school year, but no later than October 1st. There is also no exact date for the start of the school year in the United States, Austria and other states, ”the document says.
In most European countries, the academic year also starts on September 1st. However, schoolchildren in Finland, Denmark, Germany and Scotland were not lucky: they start their studies in August. Moreover, if in Finland and Denmark classes begin in the second half of August, then in Germany everything depends on the school: German children can go to school both in the last week of August and in early September. In Italy, it all depends on the region. So, this year, for the vast majority of Italians, the school will open its doors on September 14, and those who live in the Alto Adige region will begin the school year on September 7.
In the countries of the Southern Hemisphere, where winter begins when summer starts in Russia, and autumn comes in March, a different school schedule. For example, in Argentina, Costa Rica and Brazil, schools open on the first week of February, in Chile on March 1, and in Uruguay on the first Monday of March.
Chinese schools open their doors on the second Wednesday of September. Nevertheless
in many Asian countries, the school year also starts in the spring. For example, in South Korea, school starts on March 3, and in India - in mid-March - early April.
The academic year in Japan begins in April and is divided into three terms. The first one lasts until July 20: after it, the children go on a big summer vacation. The Japanese return to their desks on September 1: then the second trimester begins, which goes until the winter holidays on December 26. The final, third trimester lasts from January 7 to March 25. It is followed by a small spring break, during which schoolchildren move from class to class.
Due to the tropical climate of Thailand, the school year there begins in May and lasts until April of the following year, while they have two breaks from study: one month in October and the second - almost two months - in March-April. Singapore stood out: there the beginning of classes falls either in the first days of January or at the end of November, it all depends on the school. At the same time, the school year in Singapore lasts 40 weeks, and school holidays last a little more than a month.
In Australia, the school year starts after the celebration of the main national holiday of the country - Australia Day, which is celebrated annually on January 26. New Zealanders begin their studies on January 27, however, at the request of parents whose children study in private schools, the start of the school year can be moved to early February.
Israeli schoolchildren usually take up their textbooks on September 1, but sometimes Knowledge Day is postponed to the end of August. The changes occur due to the fact that autumn Jewish holidays fall in September, and after them - the next holidays and breaks in study.
First day of September in Russia, if not one of the most beloved, then certainly one of the most important holidays is celebrated - Knowledge Day. In addition to Russia, this holiday is celebrated in most countries in the post-Soviet space, where the academic year in schools and universities begins September 1. Alas, Ukraine seems to have dropped out of this company, which decided that the Day of Knowledge is a “Soviet relic”, and, therefore, falls under the famous Ukrainian law on decommunization.
When did the Knowledge Day holiday on September 1 appear
Knowledge Day September 1 became a public holiday since 1984, first in the USSR, and then in the Russian Federation. The holiday was introduced by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of June 15, 1984 "On the announcement of September 1 as a national holiday - the Day of Knowledge." One of the initiators of the appearance of this holiday was the honored teacher of the RSFSR Fyodor Bryukhovetsky.
The date was not chosen by chance - September 1 is the beginning of a new academic year for the vast majority of formerly Soviet, and now Russian schoolchildren, students, teachers and university professors.
Knowledge Day traditions
Traditionally, September 1 in schools begins with solemn rulers, to which children, especially elementary grades, come with bouquets of flowers for teachers. In recent years, a tradition has emerged that is called "Children instead of flowers" - money intended for the purchase of expensive bouquets goes to charity, and teachers are given one bouquet per class.
On the first of September, leaders of the country, subjects of the federation, cities, regions, leading enterprises of the region, etc. also perform at the solemn assembly in schools. On Knowledge Day, regular lessons are usually not held in schools, and special events await children: class hours, lessons in peace and courage, trips to museums, cinemas, amusement parks, etc.
Particular attention on this day is traditionally given to first-graders, so Knowledge Day is sometimes called in their honor - Feast of the first call.
history of the holiday
In fact, in different countries the academic year starts at different times, in many countries this date is floating. In Russia, for example, under Peter I, classes in schools and gymnasiums began at different times - from late August to mid-October, and rural schools traditionally began to study from December 1, when all field work was completed.
Even in the USSR, until the mid-30s, there was no single day for the beginning of the school year, it was only stipulated that children begin to study in the fall. And only on September 3, 1935, a resolution was adopted on the introduction of a single day for the start of classes in all schools of the USSR from September 1.
Knowledge Day in Ukraine
This year, the Ukrainian authorities actually canceled the Day of Knowledge, deciding that its official holding contradicts the earlier law on decommunization, according to which all reminders of Ukraine's Soviet past should be removed from the life of the country. Therefore, on September 1, school principals, in particular, in Kyiv, are allowed to independently decide on the format of the holiday, it was only proposed to make it as less as possible like a “Soviet relic”.

Church holiday according to the folk calendar - Thekla Svekolnitsa
Many Orthodox Christians know what a church holiday is today. On September 1, they honor the memory of the three martyrs of Gaz - Timothy, Agapius and Thekla, who suffered for their faith in 304-306.
It is known among the people that Timothy had the gift of eloquence and studied the Holy Scriptures from his very youth, therefore he became a famous preacher of Christianity.
During the reign of the emperors Diocletian and Maximilian, there were strong persecutions of Christians. Once Timothy was brought to court, accusing him of crimes against pagan deities. The martyr, despite cruel tortures, did not renounce his faith, he delivered a sermon about love for all the people of Jesus Christ. For which he was sentenced to be burned.
Agapios and Thekla at the same time in Gaza also suffered for their faith. The pagans gave them to be torn to pieces by wild beasts.
Beets have been used in Rus' since ancient times. On this day, the harvesting of this vegetable began. The people said: "On Fekla, the birthday girl is beets."
The peasants paid attention to Thekla - what kind of wind was blowing. It was believed that if the wind blows from the south, then next year there will be a large harvest of oats.
