Moscow, July 24: Archeologists have uncovered a unique funerary monument of the first millennium AD on the territory of Opolye, Suzdal, in Russia.

The discovery of this Finno-Ugric burial ground is a real event for archeologists.

In the excavation around 300 square meters large, there have been unearthed 11 tombs that make it possible to reveal the earlier unknown facts of ancient history.

The monument, dating back to the 3rd-4th centuries, has kept Finnish jewelry and is evidence of a rich militarized society, where cattle breeding played an important role.

All entombments are located in a row. Judging by their size at least four of them are children burials.

Moscow - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called Monday for an end to the problems that have seen a drastic cut in the delivery of oil to the Czech Republic.

The Czech government has criticized a sudden reduction in the flow at the beginning of the month. Prague officials have raised the possibility of a link to the signing of a deal with the United States on a missile defence system.

"I call on you to ensure that disruptions do not occur," Putin told Russian oil officials and oil suppliers, according to a report by the Interfax news agency.

Beijing - China and Russia signed a final agreement on disputed border areas on Monday, with Russia reportedly conceding 174 square kilometres, including two small islands in a border river.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, signed the agreement after talks in Beijing.

"We just signed a protocol on the eastern part of the Sina-Russian border," Yang told reporters at a joint press conference.

"It means that 4,300 kilometres of border between us has been demarcated," he said.

New Delhi, July 21: Ending more than 40 years of negotiations, Russia will soon return 174 sq km of territory on the northeast border to China.

The two countries will sign an agreement to this effect during Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s two-day visit to Beijing that starts today.

According to the agreement to be signed, Russia will return Yinlong Island (Tarabarov Island) and half of Heixiazi Island (Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island).

The islands are at the confluence of the Heilongjiang and the Wusulijiang rivers that serve as the natural border between the two countries, the China Daily reported.

New York - US real-estate mogul and casino operator Donald Trump has sold his villa in Palm Beach, Florida, for 95 million dollars to fellow billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev of Russia, a newspaper reported.

The price was believed to be the highest ever paid for a single-family home in the United States and bucked the trend of falling home prices in the wake of its US subprime mortgage crisis.

"I love breaking records, and this is a record," Trump, who is also known for starring in the reality-television show The Apprentice, told the Palm Beach Post.

Trump's asking price for the 2-and-a-half-hectare, beachfront property had been 125 million dollars, and he told the newspaper that Rybolovlev had made a great deal.
