- Dancers of the Bolshoi ballet following yesterdayβs football match backstage during a performance of Raymonda Photo via Bruna Gaglianone
- As trivial as it is, McDonalds closing down in Russia is very symbolic. When the first restaurant opened in Moscow in 1990, my parents joined a line of 30,000 people to get in. For most Russians it was the first glimpse of what eating out could be like over the Iron Curtain.
- Ilya Yashin sentenced to over 8 years for condemning the Russian army in Bucha Show me a morally sound Russian man who is: a) not in prison/on trial b) hasnβt fled the country c) still alive
00:00 - This is peak irony. The majority of Soviet and Russian kids were raised in 100% female households (single mother / mother + grandmother) due to factors like high divorce rate/alcohol abuse/high male mortality rate. Which thanks to Putinβs war is growing higher and higherIt is all about family. Family is a man and a woman and children.
- Putin is not paranoid at all, he meets regular Russians ALL the time Oh wait
- 25 years after the fall of USSR, I started @sovietvisuals to give people a glimpse behind the Iron Curtain - an isolated country shut out from the rest of the world with one centralized source of news called Pravda (βTruthβ), total censorshipπ§΅
- One of the deceased Russian conscript soldiers. He was born under Putin and he died under Putin in a senseless, unnecessary war.
- It's not an international arrest warrant it's a special disciplinary operation
- You know how girls sometimes tell their parents theyβre going to a friendβs house but instead go to a party.. this one went to SPACEOn the day of her solo space flight in 1963, Soviet cosmonaut and first woman in space Valentina Tereshkova told her mother that she was attending a skydiving competition. Her mother discovered where she actually was from a radio announcement later that day.
- My grandmother spent a long time in the Soviet Union so she uses the red flag emoji to communicate βcelebrationβ πβ€οΈπ₯Ή
- The songs are in Hindi, Uzbek Santa is hanging out with a delirious teletubby and some crystal bears, and everyone is happy. If your party does not look like this party in Samarkand, donβt even bother inviting me
00:00 - May everyone resist evil with the same strength as this little shelf in someoneβs house in Ukraine π’πͺ
- Chess.com is looking for a new CEO and the application form is a work of art
