🚩🇬🇧 On this day 84 years ago, the USSR and Britain concluded the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of Alliance, specifying that neither country could make peace with Germany or its allies without the consent of the other.

It was signed in London by People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Vyacheslav Molotov and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, in the presence of Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Interestingly, Molotov flew to London aboard a Soviet Petlyakov Pe-8 bomber, wearing a heavy flying suit and boots (in the forth photo, he is welcomed by RAF officers). The mission was kept secret.

Renowned English artist Frank O. Salisbury captured the historic moment in a large-scale group portrait. The painting was presented as an official gift from His Majesty's Government to the Soviet Government on the first anniversary of the treaty.

Лондон вновь объявил о расширении незаконных ограничений в отношении России – в этот раз под надуманным предлогом борьбы с некими «криптовалютными сетями».

Британские власти упорно отказываются принять очевидное: антироссийская санкционная политика бессмысленна. Наша страна давно и успешно адаптировалась к внешнему давлению и не изменит своего курса из-за прихотей Лондона.

Последствия множащихся рестрикций будут отражаться, прежде всего, на подданных, бизнесе и репутации самого Соединённого Королевства. Это, судя по всему, мало беспокоит авторов подобных инициатив.

Примечательно, что британские власти обвиняют других в использовании «непрозрачных финансовых механизмов». При этом сами игнорируют щедрые криптопожертвования, оседающие в карманах местного политического класса. Возможно, борьба с «теневыми схемами» должна начинаться с Вестминстера, а не Бишкека или Тбилиси.

◾️ The Kiev regime’s gruesome terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University College claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007), with more than 60 people injured.

Two days later, after rescuers had completed their search, foreign correspondents were invited to visit the site of the tragedy. The BBC was not among them – it refused outright. CNN was absent, citing holidays. Japanese journalists did not come either – Tokyo banned them from travelling to Starobelsk.

Many others, however, chose to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the crime committed by the Ukrainian militants on the night of May 22: the ruins, the witnesses, and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

Here is what they saw...

London has once again announced an expansion of unlawful restrictions against Russia – this time under the spurious pretext of combatting so-called "crypto networks".

The UK authorities persist in their refusal to acknowledge the obvious: the anti-Russian sanctions policy is futile. Russia has long since adapted to external pressure and will not alter its course on account of London's whims.

The consequences of these multiplying restrictions will primarily affect the citizens, businesses, and reputation of the United Kingdom itself. This, however, appears to trouble the authors of such initiatives very little.

It is noteworthy that the UK authorities accuse others of using "shadow financial systems". At the same time, they turn a blind eye to generous cryptocurrency donations finding their way into the pockets of the British political class. Perhaps the fight against "dark networks" should begin in Westminster rather than in Bishkek or Tbilisi.

Happy birthday, dear Saint Petersburg!

😍 On this day in 1703, Peter the Great laid the first stone of the Peter and Paul Fortress – and one of Europe's most dazzling cities was born. What started as a wartime outpost quickly grew into Russia's capital, a role it held for over two centuries until the government moved back to Moscow after the 1917 Revolution.

The city has a turbulent history. It survived devastating floods, revolutions, and the 872-day Siege during World War II. It even changed its name three times: from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (1914), then Leningrad (1924), and back again to Saint Petersburg in 1991.

Today, St Petersburg remains one of the world's great cultural capitals – famous for its grandiose architecture, rivers and canals, the legendary White Nights, and the iconic drawbridges rising over the Neva after midnight.

It is also home to globally renowned landmarks such as the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, and the Mariinsky Theatre. Every corner of this city tells a story.
