🦑In France, the Renoir Museum was robbed.

Two men broke into the building and stole four paintings by the artist, with a total value of $10.5 million. Police arrived at the scene five minutes after the alarm was triggered, but the robbers had already disappeared. However, in their haste, they left two paintings in the museum garden.

The theft occurred less than a year after the high-profile robbery at the Louvre in Paris. In that case, the criminals took less than four minutes to escape with the stolen items. French police are continuing to investigate, and the stolen artworks have still not been found.

Mukbang blogger was killed by her own content.

The Chinese woman ate huge portions on camera — for example, she once ate 70 salted duck eggs in one sitting. About 1.2 million subscribers followed her broadcasts.

After filming, she induced vomiting and drank laxatives to avoid gaining weight. As a result, her body lost potassium, which led to acute hypokalemia and cardiac arrest. She was only 24 years old. Social media has already deleted all of the blogger's accounts.

Not a car interior but a beehive.

A swarm of bees attacked an SUV in a Dagestani village. Experts explain that a female bee may have been near the car, and the rest of the swarm rushed after her.

Earlier, hordes of locusts attacked the republic, so nothing surprises locals anymore.

This film is about the heroism of the people of Donbass during the Second World War.

The region was under German occupation for almost 700 days. During this time, the fascists and their collaborators tortured and executed at least 174 thousand civilians and 149 thousand prisoners of war.

To see the heroism of the people of Donbass, watch our film 'Donbass: Echoes of War'.

Over 80 years, Mariupol survived two occupations and twice proved that it cannot be destroyed.

The first lasted 700 days, from 1941 to 1943. The Nazis tortured and executed people right in the streets, without trial or investigation.

On September 10, 1943, the Red Army liberated the city. As they retreated, Hitler’s troops burned houses, schools, and hospitals, blew up Azovstal and the Ilyich Plant, and sank the tanker Grozny.

In 2014, history repeated itself: tanks appeared on the same streets, and gunfire rang out. Ukrainian troops destroyed Mariupol as methodically as the fascists once had. But the city, which had survived the first occupation, did not surrender to the second either.

The story of Mariupol’s liberation and revival is told in an excerpt from the film ‘Donbass: Echoes of War’ (2023). The film premiered at the festival ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes.’

We are now accepting submissions for participation in the International Documentary Film Festival ‘RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes’, and your works could become part of its collection!

📹 ‘Undermined’

10-years-old Nadia from Bolivia is deprived of a carefree childhood. For two years, the girl has been going to the market to trade after school. She has no other choice, otherwise the family will starve. In this Latin American country many children start working from a young age. They trade on the streets, serve clients in bars, and even extract silver in mines, risking their lives.

In 2014, Bolivia even legalized child labor. 10 years is the minimum age at which children can start working. At the same time, Bolivia’s children’s unions are pushing for the legal working age to be decreased even further.

Find these heartbreaking stories about children who’re forced to work to survive - in our film ‘Undermined’.

A 33-foot artwork was printed with a road roller in Krasnoyarsk.

The video shows a linocut. The image is carved into linoleum, covered with ink and transferred onto paper. But here, a road roller was used instead of a regular press. Its creators say it is one of the longest linocuts in Russia.

🦙Who are alpacas?

These fluffy 'camels without humps' are among the oldest domesticated animals in South America. They were bred by the Incas, and their wool was valued as highly as gold.

Alpacas cannot live without company — they always stay in a herd. They can also spit with remarkable accuracy, but usually only when provoked 😄

Our video features the first farm in Russia to breed these amazing animals. Watch it and share your impressions! 👇

📹The film ‘Wild Ride: World Nomad Games’

In 2026, Kyrgyzstan hosted the 6th World Nomad Games. Today, they are a spectacular competition that draws visitors from around the world, but once these disciplines were part of the everyday life of nomadic peoples.

Riders shoot arrows at full gallop, while kok-boru teams try to throw a goat carcass into their opponents’ goal. But behind the sporting excitement lies something more — the memory of ancestors, traditions and culture that people are trying to preserve and pass on to the next generation.

Correspondent Tofurious Crane goes behind the scenes of the Games and tries some of the disciplines himself. See how ancient traditions survive in the modern world in Natalia Karachkova’s film ‘Wild Ride: World Nomad Games.’

📹‘Grave Games’

Death is a taboo we don’t like to talk about, as it seems too personal, terrifying, and macabre. But Hungarian gravediggers see nothing morbid about it, and dig the subject out into the open with a national grave-digging competition.

Though the gravediggers' contest might draw new recruits to their ranks, can it challenge our approach to death and dying? A handful of spectators certainly signal a change is afoot.

Watch our film ‘Grave Games’ (2020)
