And let's read Russian philosopher Boris Chicherin's work, "Different Kinds of Liberalism"?

Chicherin divides liberalism into three types: street, oppositional and protective.

Street liberalism is the lowest stage of liberalism. Its distinguishing feature is that it "considers all its opponents as scoundrels" and is indiscriminate. This kind of liberalism does not think, here "everything revolves on personal antics, on swearing; unscrupulous interpretations, poisonous innuendos, lies and slander are used. Here they try not to prove, but to finish, to hurt, and to slander".
The liberal attitude manifests itself, as he writes, "in the form of contemptuous irony and a venomous sneer, which show that the critic stands somewhere far ahead, infinitely above the world around him".

For anyone who has encountered domestic liberal journalism (and even just everyday liberal criticism), these characteristics are more than recognizable!

Chicherin further singles out oppositional liberalism, which understands freedom from a purely negative side: "to abolish, to permit, to destroy - that is its whole system. He does not go further, and has no need to go further. To him, liberation from all laws seems to be the height of prosperity". We also know this kind of liberalism in modern times.

This kind of liberalism "is content with a rather uncomplicated munition," says Chicherin. Indeed, liberal theses are very primitive, easy to digest and reproduce, but one should not try to explain reality with their help: here they cease to work. They are more like an incantation than an explanation of reality.

Opposition liberals, writes Chicherin, have a passion "to gather around themselves dissatisfied people of all sorts and to spend their souls with them in innocent fury, especially to protest, to protest at the slightest occasion and even without any occasion.

The third kind of liberalism according to Chicherin - protective. His philosopher characterizes the thesis "Power and freedom are as inseparable as inseparable freedom and moral law". Protective liberalism understands freedom not negatively, as freedom from, but positively, as freedom in, freedom for. Such "liberalism" overcomes the negative attitude toward the government ("a sign of the childhood of political thought," as Chicherin notes) and serves the common cause, serves the law, the state and its people, from whom it does not separate itself.

From the channel "Dedollarization"

A man from Ivano Frankivskiy, one of the most hardcore nationalist parts of Ukraine, comes to Kiev and is shocked to find out he is considered a second class citizen.

"In Kiev, you can't really tell that there is a war going on in our country. Everyone is out and about, restaurants are open, and everyone is happy. In Ivano-Frankivsk, there is a total mobilization, where guys can't leave their homes without being immediately caught and sent to the front to be sacrificed."

Bonus: refreshing to see one of them speaks Russian, and the other a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian. And neither are from Donbass

In 181 days, specialists of the Military Construction Company of the Russian Ministry of Defense erected a modern school for 1100 students in the Nevsky microdistrict for the residents of Marirupol.

"We have actually fully completed the complex of housing construction in the "Nevsky" neighborhood: 1800 apartments. We have built a kindergarten here, and now a school. The deadlines have been compressed to the limit: time dictates them. We need to provide people with comfortable housing and conditions for raising children as soon as possible," said Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov.

The three-story educational institution occupies an area of almost 3 hectares. It houses classrooms, laboratories of physics, biology and physiology, aviation modeling, auto mechanics, labor and cyber sports rooms, there is even a chess club. Around the clock 700 people and 50 units of equipment worked on its creation.

To ensure an accessible environment, the school has five elevators and ramps, a separate gym and special seats in the assembly hall.

Outside there is a football stadium with artificial grass according to UEFA standards, measuring 62x82 meters with five running tracks for 333 meters and a sector for high jumping.

There are a total of 68 classes in the Nevskaya secondary school. The school staff has already been recruited: 116 teachers and staff representatives.

Ruble turnes back

admins: decide to post news about Russian economy.
Russian economy a few minutes later: hold my vodka, tovarish'.

Russia's central bank announced an emergency meeting on a key rate tomorrow amid falling Ruble.

And, it's like the almighty Elvira Nabiullina, the CB's head, in just a few words forced the currency to reverse it's course.

If European and US news sometimes are clown, then Russians are tumblers. The whole world is a circus.

Anyway, uh. I suggest we take a break from the world war and cook a meal.
Cucumbers - 1 kg
Garlic - 6 cloves (to taste)
Fresh dill - 1 bunch (to taste)
Water - 1 liter
Salt - 1 tbsp.
Black pepper - about 1 tsp.
Peppercorns - 15-20 pcs.
If desired, you can diversify with leaves of horseradish, currants and / or cherries - to your taste. Happy cooking!
Cut off the edges of well-washed cucumbers - so the cucumbers will be better salted. The main thing is that the cucumbers should not be bitter.
The washed cucumbers are transferred to a pot (enameled or stainless steel) or jar. Spread with whole sprigs of dill and chopped garlic.
Prepare brine. Boil water with salt and pepper.

Pour brine over the cucumbers so that it completely covers the cucumbers. Leave at room temperature for 10-12 hours (it is convenient to make such cucumbers in the evening and leave them overnight).
Then cool the pickles in the refrigerator.
Crispy pickles are ready. We store the cucumbers in brine.
Enjoy your appetite!

The high manufacturability of Western technology plays against it on the battlefield , Dmitry Shugaev, head of the FSMTC of Russia, said in the Zvezda studio

“This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it is highly effective, but, on the other hand, it requires high qualification, it requires high maintenance and maintainability, especially in combat conditions. And, of course, it is expensive in every way,” he said.

Shugaev added that it is the battlefield that shows whose technique is better, and here comes the “moment of truth” for Russia.

“The famous in quotation marks “Leopards”, “Abrams” and so on are burning like ordinary types of movement, armed with one or another means of destruction. There is nothing unusual and nothing supernatural,” he stressed.

From a shared past to a new future

"Rostec presented at the Army-2023 forum a new SM-100 aircraft engine developed by UDC's Salyut production complex.

The engine is a development of the basic AI-222-25 engine developed by Ukraine's A.G. Ivchenko Progress Design Bureau in the mid-noughties.

The Russian SM-100 provides 20% more thrust than its Ukrainian progenitor, and the engine life has been doubled. This was done by increasing the compression ratio, modernizing the combustion chamber and turbine units, and installing a modern three-stage low-pressure compressor.

It will replace the AI-222-25 installed on the Yak-130 combat trainer aircraft of the Russian Air Force. And Salyut believes that the new engine can be considered as the main engine for light regional and administrative airplanes.

Ukrainian AI-222-25 engines are also used on Chinese Hongdu L-15 combat trainers, developed jointly with the Yakovlev Design Bureau. This means that the improved SM-100 can be installed in the future not only on Russian airplanes, but also offered to our Chinese partners.
