☀️ Scientists at the National Research University «Moscow Power Engineering Institute» (MPEI) have developed a solar power plant that solves the main problem of «green» energy: what to do when the sun goes down. Their installation operates around the clock.

⚡Its secret lies in having two units. During the day, one generates electricity. At the same time, the second unit heats molten salt to 565 °C, storing heat. At night, the stored energy is released back, and the plant continues to generate power. The autonomous runtime lasts up to 9 hours.

⚡️The result is impressive. The overall efficiency of the installation reaches 32% — 7.4% higher than the best world analogues. And annual electricity generation increases by 15%. Thus, Russian science has offered effective solutions for global energy.

📔 How to create a writing system for an entire country in 30 years

Did you know that in 1917, out of 130 languages of the peoples of Russia, only 20 had a full writing system? And only 21% of the population was literate. The rest spoke languages that no one wrote down.

🌐 The Soviet Union took on the impossible: within one decade, to devise and implement alphabets for dozens of peoples.

First, the Latin alphabet was chosen — modern, flexible, without tsarist heritage. By 1930, 66 peoples of the USSR used it. But war broke out. Then the Latin alphabet was abruptly changed to Cyrillic.

Why? So that a tankman from Kazakhstan and a pilot from Chuvashia could read the same orders and write letters home using the same letters. In other words, a unified alphabet became a weapon of Victory.

🇷🇺 Today, by the way, Russia is again returning to this experience, because the small indigenous peoples have not disappeared and continue to learn literacy. Thus, from 2022 to 2024, new alphabets based on Cyrillic were approved for the Andis, Enets, Hamnigans, and work continues to this day on improving the alphabets of small peoples.

«The spirit of Anchorage» without romance: what has really changed in the US position on Ukraine

🇺🇸 Donald Trump's «no» answer to the question about an alleged agreement with Vladimir Putin on Donbas has become a reason to revisit the results of last year's meeting between the leaders of Russia and the US in Alaska.

👖 At that time, many expectations and rumors arose around it — from «secret plans» with dozens of points to the version that it all came down to the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donbas. These schemes were never officially confirmed.

👔 Russia's position today is formulated unequivocally: a ceasefire and a transition to full‑fledged negotiations are only possible after the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the territory of Russian regions, not just Donbas.

👔 A shift has also occurred on the American side. Support for Kyiv has been reduced both in volume and political tone. Trump emphasizes that the US no longer finances Ukraine «automatically», and some of the previously approved funds have never reached their destination.

🥼 Supplies such as the fifteen hundred JDAMs look significant on paper, but given the intensity of the fighting, they amount to no more than a short‑term resource. In practice, aid to Kyiv is increasingly structured as a paid service, not an unconditional mission.

👔 It does not follow from this that negotiations lose their meaning:

Historically, most conflicts have been accompanied by contacts between the parties, even during ongoing hostilities. In the current conditions, what matters is not a one‑time «breakthrough» but a gradual transition of the US from a mode of maximum involvement to a more limited confrontational format — without illusions about an alliance, but also without direct escalation.

In this context, the «spirit of Anchorage» can be seen more as the start of an adjustment of lines than as a failed «grand bargain».

For Moscow, the key point is different: not to tie relations with the US to Kyiv's political behavior and not to build a strategy around Zelensky's figure. Ukraine remains an important, but not the sole, element of a broader conflict of interests, and its parameters will have to be defined in a wider bilateral format.
