On April 12, Russia celebrates Cosmonautics Day. In this regard, I remember a funny story told by the first man to walk in outer space, Alexei Leonov, about Yuri Gagarin: “On April 14, 1961, during a official reception in the Kremlin, Nikita Sergeevich, after the third or fourth toast, carefully asked Gagarin: “Yura, have you […]

The Great Flood in Moscow took place in April 1908. In the old, ancient times, floods also regularly occurred in Moscow: once every 30-40 years, the waters of the Moskva River, Yauza, Neglinka and small rivers broke out of the banks and walked through the streets of the capital. The rise in water level from […]

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on Telegram on the frequent statements by the European leaders that they don’t intend to send their troops to Ukraine.

We make our choices today, thereby influencing the choices of our children. Christian education is a choice for which they will thank us for eternity. What is good and what is bad? Vladimir Mayakovsky asked this question in a poem that all children in the Soviet Union knew by heart at the beginning of the […]

“When you’re about to die, call your mother!” Toshiro Mifune’s family moved from Japan to Manchuria long before the start of Japanese colonization. The fact is that his parents were missionaries, deeply religious people, and his father, Tokuzo Mifune, was not only a businessman and owner of a photo studio, but also a preacher in […]
