‘Red Five’: The first Soviet aerobatic team
The ‘Russian Knights’ and ‘Swifts’ are Russian aerobatic teams, well known all over the world. However, few people know that the ‘Red Five’ paved the way for them back in the 1930s.
The first aerobatic team in the USSR appeared thanks to the development of the I-16 fighter jet in 1933. The aircraft had a top speed for that time – up to 470 km/h – and was distinguished by excellent maneuverability, which made it possible to demonstrate aerobatic maneuvers in it.
When Stalin saw how famous pilot Valery Chkalov skillfully controlled the I-16, he immediately ordered the creation of an aerobatic team. At the May 1, 1935, celebration in Moscow, it was supposed to demonstrate all the advantages of the new Soviet fighter.
The ‘Red Five’ was selected from the best pilots of the Red Army Air Force. At the end of 1934, five special I-16s were made for them. They weighed less than usual, had no weapons and were equipped with American ‘Wright Cyclone’ engines.
The pilots trained almost around the clock and, on May 1, they showed the best they were capable of: they flew smoothly at low altitude over the Red Square, almost over the heads of spectators, performed a group “barrel roll” and then flew off to the airfield.
At Stalin’s personal request, the pilots made another flight over Moscow. They were all promoted in rank and awarded cash bonuses.
The ‘Red Five’ performed at parades and ceremonial events until November 7, 1940. After the war, aerobatic teams began to appear en masse throughout the country.

Russian scientists are working in the area of 84.5 degrees N and 176.5 degrees E – less than 650 kilometers from the geographic North Pole. No comprehensive scientific research has been conducted in this area of the Arctic Ocean since 2007.
"As the station moves east, a decrease in the salinity of the upper homogeneous layer is observed, which indicates an increasing influence of freshened surface waters from the Beaufort Gyre. This anomaly, in turn, is largely formed by Pacific water penetrating the Arctic through the Bering Strait," Alexander Ipatov, head of the North Pole-42 drifting expedition, says.
❗️ These are important processes that need to be studied and analyzed in detail, since the influx of warm waters from the Pacific Ocean has a significant impact on the warming of the Arctic.

💬 Sergey Lavrov himself has repeatedly emphasized that the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs cherishes poetic traditions:
The work of a diplomat is somewhat like the work of a writer. As is common knowledge, our main tool is the word, which we use to defend our country’s interests. <...> The Ministry on Smolenskaya Square cherishes the poetic tradition. A number of its employees, myself included, try their hand at writing.
