📹Belarus was under Nazi occupation for three years. The Nazis killed people of all nationalities through punitive operations, ghettos, and encircling concentration camps. During the Great Patriotic War, one in every three people in Belarus died. But the people of the Soviet Union endured all the horrors of war and never lost faith in victory. The resistance movement in Belarus was one of the largest. Even children and teenagers joined the partisans to fight for their homeland.

The occupation ended in 1944, when the Red Army, together with the partisans, launched Operation Bagration — the largest military operation in history. Thanks to their combined efforts, Belarus was liberated.

Within just a few hours of its premiere, the film "Donbass: I'm Alive!" garnered over two million views.

Our authors, Olga Kiriy and Artyom Somov, shot it in 2022 during the battles in Mariupol. The city was on fire. Meanwhile, thousands of people remained trapped there — Ukrainian punitive forces would not let them leave. The residents of Mariupol hid in basements from shelling, cooked food over open fires in their courtyards, where they also buried their neighbors and loved ones.

The film was seen around the world. Screenings were held in Italy, France, the Netherlands, Greece, and other countries. It has been translated into eight languages. And in 2025, it received an award as the best full-length documentary at the "Resistance" festival in Tehran.

If you haven't seen it yet — save it and watch it. This isn't just cinema. This is history that must not be forgotten.

📹Astrakhan Region is where the Volga River flows into the Caspian Sea.

The mix of fresh and sea water creates a unique ecosystem, perfectly suited to sturgeon. Sean Thomas visits a sturgeon farm to discover how these fish are cultivated. Here, the conditions closely replicate their natural habitat: the fish are fed the same diet as they would find in the wild, and their most prized product – black caviar – is harvested without causing them harm.

Sean learns some of the trade secrets behind this delicacy at a caviar factory. He also discovers what makes caviar uniquely beneficial for health.

But sturgeon have more to offer than just caviar. Even the parts of the fish that are usually thrown away are given a second life here: the scales and bones are used to extract collagen for food supplements, medical products, skincare treatments, and even innovative edible packaging.
