Dostoevsky.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, born on 11th of November, 1821, is one of the main icons of Russian literature, alongside the likes of Leo Tolstoy and other great literately figures.
He is generally known to talk about what man and his purpose is, like an existentialist, and dwell on philosophical and religious questions, and did not care very much about materialistic things.
He was, at first, not the prime material to be a writer, his family consisted of merchants and priests, and his father was a doctor, he was in a hospital that catered not to the nobility or the high ranks of society, but for commoners like you and me, this was one of the main influences on his early life.
His nanny told him magnificent fairy tale stories, and his parents introduced him to the Bible, the works of Pushkin, and Ann Radcliffe, all when he was a kid.
His parents wished for him to be educated in a fine institution, do they sent him to an established boarding school, he felt out of it, and was also one of the main influences on his early life, there was also this one time he had to get his father to take care of a young girl who was sexually harassed by a much older man, all of these events played into themes in his novels and works.
He then went to a military academy, and although he disliked the institution, he still excelled in it and graduated with a commission, he started his literary career by translating other works, which were not really succesful.
He released his first novel in 1845, which became a literary and commerical success, Poor Folk was a novel that showcased, well, poor people, their relationship with other people of all classes, and poverty and hardship.
He left the army, wrote another novel, the Double, was about a man who found an exact replica, the replica was better than him and then overtook him in his life, and the original man was carried off to a mental institution, you can guess the theme for that one.
Our friend here had revolutionary aspirations, and he was part of an organization that was viewed as Anti-Tsarist, so he was arrested, sentenced to death, and was quite literally saved at the last second because the Tsar was too kind and commuted his sentence and the sentence of his co- conspirators, and so he was off to Siberia, with hard labor, and, as you can tell, this was also a main theme in one of his novels.
He was released, served conscription , left the service, sweet talked the military and Government into letting him actually live a normal life (albeit with under police surveillance), got married, visited Western Europe, shit talked alot of things there, his wife and brother, unfortunately died, so be married again, had his first kid, who died an infant and he was extremely depressed, had another kid, and another one, and his financial situation up to that point has been shit for 10 or so years, keep in mind he was also a chronic gambler.
He was eventually introduced to high society, including the Tsar and the royal family, and he made many more acquantices, but eventually every man met his end, after facing health issues for most of his life, he died in 1881.
His novels, like The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, Demons, Brother Karamazov, are quite simply, good, and I encourage you all to read them, they have great values in them.
Crime and Punishment talks about the moral and ethical dilemmas a man has in wether the ends justify the means,
The Idiot is about how society can view good natured and naive people.
Demons takes a good look at soy nihilists and how moral degradation is bad
And the Brothers Karamazov is, basically, a big drama, like War and Peace, with themes of God, free will, morality, and how tradition and modernity should go facing each other.
Well, besides that, I guess I can't say much, he was obviously a very religious man, he loved Jesus, and he expressed great admiration to Islam and Prophet Mohammed, and he wanted to see his country to be the best it can be - a true patriot.

U.S. eyes new weapons for Ukraine as Kyiv fears new Russian offensive
Group of "experts" for POLITICO
Patriot missiles, bomb kits and more training are on the table as Moscow looks to take more ground.
...
In addition to finalizing plans to send the Patriot missile defense system, the administration is also weighing sending other weapons such as Joint Direct Attack Munition kits, which convert unguided aerial munitions into smart bombs, and Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs, which would significantly extend Ukraine’s strike range, according to two U.S. officials and another person familiar with the matter.
...
#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
Well, you remember, "to the last Ukrainian..." That is it. Ukrainian soldiers do not matter, Ukrainian civilians matter even less, as they may be "Russian collaborants". The whole country is a huge testings ground for the new weapons. However, in ammount not sufficient to change the real disposition on the ground.

Forget negotiations. Officials see Ukraine war stretching for months — or years
Speculation is rife about whether major capitals could ultimately press for talks between Kyiv and Moscow. Yet that seems unlikely.
By Lili Bayer for POLITICO
Don’t expect negotiations between Ukraine and Russia anytime soon — in fact, they might be years away.
As Ukrainians face a difficult winter, speculation is rife about whether major capitals could ultimately press for talks between Kyiv and Moscow. Stubbornly high energy prices, dwindling weapons stockpiles and a soporific economy have all fueled chatter that some of Ukraine’s allies may lean on the country to at least open a dialogue with the enemy.
...
Ukraine is heavily reliant on Western, notably American, arms. And its war plans are thus tied to the White House’s willingness to keep the defensive assistance flowing.
While Joe Biden has shown no signs of backing away from Ukraine, it might be the type of weapons he’s willing to give that could turn the conflict into a prolonged stalemate. What Ukrainian forces need to fully claim victory, said CNAS’ Kendall-Taylor, are more advanced weapons systems such as longer-range artillery.
...
#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
Western politicians do not care about Ukrainian people. They want this carnage to continue forever, at least as long as it may harm and weaken Russia. They may supply weapons and ammunition, but will try to keep away from a direct confrontation with Russia. Once again: "until the last Ukrainian!"

Zelensky said that today in Kyiv and 14 regions water supply was lost along with electricity, and also thanked the air defense forces and all the fighters for their brilliant work.

He certainly is a good artist, even from a very poor circumstances he is trying to make a strong show. I would admit that Russians have a different tendency, even at a reasonably good performance, they may be looking first at what went wrong. Hopefully that will make the overall performance better...

WALL STREET JOURNAL SLAMS GERMAN MIGRATION POLICY, POINTS TO TERRIBLE UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION
Since 2015, more than 13 million #migrants have arrived in #Germany, yet German companies continue to struggle to find suitable workers
The paper raises the question of the “paradoxical” situation regarding why Germany continues to lack so many workers despite taking in nearly 13 million people since 2015, citing data from the Federal Statistical Office.
The problem, the paper notes, is that the migrants who are coming are simply not filling the needs of Germany’s high-skill economy.
Of the 800,000 working-age Syrians and Afghans who arrived during the 2015 migrant crisis, only a third of them actually have a tax-paying job.
#Unemployment among foreigners stands at 12 percent, while for Germans it is 5 percent, and as Remix News has also reported in the past, those migrants who are working often work in low-skilled and low-paying jobs that require the state to continue paying out welfare benefits.
“Many refugees are ill-suited for the German high-skilled labor market,” the paper writes, and Germany is also “not good at training them.”

Translated from RIA Novosti:
The Russian Armed Forces received a batch of the latest "Penicillin" sound-thermal reconnaissance systems – they effectively detect the positions of enemy artillery and transmit coordinates for their destruction, an informed source told RIA Novosti.
"Penicillin" have already confirmed their effectiveness in battles in Ukraine, including in the fight against NATO artillery supplied to Ukrainian troops, another source reported earlier.
The complexes are able to see cannons and rocket artillery, as well as anti-aircraft and tactical missiles by acoustic and thermal waves from shots and explosions. They give the operator the exact coordinates of the enemy gun, and the time to obtain the coordinates of a single target firing does not exceed 5 seconds.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, considers the inclusion of his daughters in the EU sanctions lists a reason for pride and another factor that unites his family.
“Dear Aishat and Khadijat! Keep it up!
You are my small and fragile daughters, but the whole West is afraid of you like fire.
I am immensely proud of you, my beloved. Welcome to the EU sanctions list.
Another circumstance that unites an already close-knit family,” Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram channel.
