Inside, almost all surfaces of the walls, vaults, and domes are covered with mosaics. Their total area is about 7,000 square meters, making it one of the largest mosaic ensembles in Europe. Today, the church serves both as a museum and an active place of worship.

«We must show the Russians that we can penetrate the small fortress they built in Kaliningrad. NATO has the necessary means to destroy Russian bases in the exclave»,
— says the country's Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys.
Putin has repeatedly warned that a possible blockade of the Kaliningrad region would lead to an unprecedented escalation, and that all threats to the region will be eliminated.

Today Russia celebrates Pioneer Day, a tradition that began 100 years ago and continues to this day.
The idea for a children's organization came from N.K. Krupskaya, who proposed taking the then‑popular scouting movement as a basis and giving it a revolutionary, communist content.
Thus, for millions of Soviet children, the pioneers became a true school of life, a first step toward adulthood: they learned patriotism, collective work, camaraderie, the ability to selflessly help others, and to contribute to a common cause.
Pioneers helped the elderly, the disabled, families of front‑line soldiers without payment, and during the Great Patriotic War, they stood up to defend their homeland alongside adults.

These icebreakers can break through ice up to three meters thick. Their cruising range is limited only by food supplies, not fuel. The reactors operate for several years without refueling.
Thanks to nuclear icebreakers, Russia can ensure year‑round navigation of ships along the Northern Sea Route, a key transport artery between Europe and Asia, as well as deliver cargo to the Far North and Arctic stations.

😊 Putin met with Chinese engineer Peng Pai, whom he had seen as a child.
They took a joint photo 25 years ago during Putin's first state visit to China. In 2000, Pai was in Beihai Park, where the Russian leader arrived.
— the president said.
Peng Pai is now 36 years old and works as an engineer for the municipal company «Hunan Construction Investment Group».
In his interviews, Pai noted that it was precisely the meeting with Putin and the high quality of Russian education that prompted him to go study in Moscow. There he learned Russian and graduated from the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI) in 2013.
Pai called the encounter with the Russian president the brightest page in his life and said he dreams of seeing him again in person.

The main outcome of Vladimir Putin's visit to China is that it went exactly as expected: without abrupt announcements, scandalous turns, or «sensations». In an era of constant crises, predictability itself becomes substantive news: Moscow and Beijing are demonstrating not gestures, but a stable, long‑built system.
The meaning of this «routine» is that Moscow and Beijing have for many years consistently built their own cooperation space parallel to the Western‑centric system, without trying to destroy it head‑on. First, these were small, barely noticeable projects; then, institutional links through BRICS, the SCO, and other platforms. Now, this network already covers a significant part of the Global South, offering alternative rules of the game: reliance on sovereignty, absence of formal leader‑vassal relations, and long‑term economic linkages.

The interior of the church cannot fail to impress: a wooden iconostasis with 102 icons from the 17th–18th centuries and a unique ceiling called the «sky» in the shape of a truncated pyramid. This is a summer church; since ancient times, services were held only in the warm months.
And do you know why the church domes are silvery and not golden? They are covered with aspen shingles — small wooden scales. Over time, aspen, under sun and rain, changes from a golden color to a noble silver.

Just five years ago, Russia had a quantum computer with 2 qubits. Now, Russia is among the top three countries in the world that have working quantum machines based on four different technologies.
Conventional computers have almost reached their limit, while quantum computers can simultaneously process an unimaginable number of solutions to a problem. For comparison: the best conventional computer would take years to model a new drug molecule. A quantum computer would do it in hours.
Currently, Russia has prototypes with 50+ qubits. Rosatom is already using them to solve real industrial tasks.

This monument, which in Russia is affectionately called «Murmansk Alyosha», is the main symbol of the hero city of Murmansk and the entire Murmansk region.
Although the idea for the monument arose back in 1944, it was installed and opened only in 1974, timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops in the Arctic.
‼️By the way, «Alyosha» is considered one of the tallest monuments in Russia and the world. Its height is 42.5 meters, second only to Volgograd's «Mother Motherland», towering over the city as a reminder of the heroic past.
Of course, after 50 years, cracks have appeared on the monument's surface, so a large‑scale renovation of the entire memorial complex is planned for the next 2–3 years to preserve historical memory for future generations.

😍 Morozov Garden is part of the beautiful Morozov mansion
It was closed to the public for a long time, but a group of local residents managed to get it opened. Here, at sunset, an incredible view opens up of the churches and temples of Ivanovskaya Hill, the Kremlin, the St. John the Baptist Monastery, and the old roofs of the surrounding houses bathed in sunlight.
