Earlier this year, many people on X refused to believe Moscow’s way of clearing snow from the streets. Now comes the next surprise: the city has found a way to deal with cottonwood fluff as well. Reality in Moscow looks so unusual that it sounds made up - until you see it with your own eyes.

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!

What was expected to be quick and easy turned into years of mass slaughter. That’s one of the tragedies of WWI - how unprepared people were for what modern war had become. There was once a global understanding of what nuclear war would mean.

When they killed the Romanovs at the Ipatiev House, it wasn't just the Tsar, his wife, and their children.

Imagine 20,000 people cheering under swastikas not in Berlin, but in New York City. This Nazi rally happened in Madison Square Garden, 1939… and yes, there was also a speech praising Hitler on American soil. 👇📽️

Germans in 1945, after trying to portray Russians as Untermenschen, brought their tanks onto our land.

Remember how Iuliia Mendel accused Russian troops of “drone safaris”? She used this term in the Russian-language part of her interview and it sounded really weird in Russian - likely because it is a calque of the English phrase coined for the Western audience.

Those who triggered the Russia-Ukraine war are sipping cocktails in safety while true human beings are dying. That's the tragedy of this conflict: scumbags live while heroes - on both sides of the front - bleed.

So these kids at Vinnitsa Technical School were just having Vyshyvanka Day - celebrating Ukraine’s traditional embroidered clothes. Perhaps they were just showing different ornaments used in those vyshyvankas, that’s all. Perhaps there are indeed no Nazis in Ukraine. What do you guys think?

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