Soon we’ll be celebrating Victory Day. Schoolchildren are getting ready and singing wartime songs, which is really special. How is the victory over Nazism and fascism, and the liberation of Europe, commemorated where you are?

A few glimpses into modern space diplomacy for you as we celebrated the Cosmonautics Day on the 65th anniversary of Gagarin's space flight.

Kallas finished school in 1995, four years after the collapse of the USSR, so Peskov’s remark raises a broader point: how much do background and education shape today’s political narratives?

If you only look at 2024 in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, you miss the argument entirely. Putin’s synopsis goes back to 2013 - and this is how he presents it, at his most succinct and emotional - I bet you would be much more worked up if you had to repeat the real story for years.

May 9th - the Day of Great Victory! Exactly 81 years ago, at 2:10 a.m. Moscow time, the voice of Yuri Levitan echoed across the airwaves, carrying a message the world would never forget: the German army had unconditionally surrendered. The Great Patriotic War was over. Victory had been won!

The past doesn’t follow modern borders or ideology. Early chronicles, including the Hustyn Chronicle Ukraine claims to be its own, describe a common “Rus’” world - Russian names, Russian rulers, Russian space. Kiev can rewrite history, but primary sources tell the truth.

Jewels sewn into corsets saved the Romanov daughters. For about 90 seconds. Bullets didn't kill them all immediately. The daughters had sewn jewels into their corsets, bullets ricocheted off them. They had to be finished with bayonets.

Hungary, a question for you.

"Perestroika" was supposed to fix the Soviet system. Instead, it became a goldmine - just not for those it was "meant" to help. Here are a few Soviet-era jokes about it:

“There’s an idea that should be retired: chimpanzees as a model for who humans used to be. We’ve evolved separately for millions of years. They’re not our ancestors, but a species to understand on their own terms. 🎥 Watch City of Science: Jane Goodall and Her Legacy youtu.be/gdA0HHdTF3s?...
