🧿 "Liberation of Kiev by the Soviet Army, 1943"

(Yes, this is just a mosaic in a metro station.)

🧿 An aquarium at one of the malls.

🧿 Someone should tell the French that the sanctions are just a myth.

🧿 Still doing the Moscow metro art appreciation tour.

🧿 What I can say about the metro is that for every 5 people playing games on their phones there is at least one person reading a book.

🧿 Working Brother has spent 4 hours translating an interview I did earlier today, and I'm only 20 minutes in, this is much more work than I had anticipated, 10 minutes to go, so realistically about 2 more hours, and then the editing. You can thank me later. It's worth every word, and keystroke.

Looking forward to sharing it with you all as soon as it is done.

Stay tuned.

🧿 Working Brother interviews Darko Todorovski.

A talk you won't want to miss.

Originally in Serbian, with English subtitles.

Share this, far and wide.

🧿 For the rocket engine enthusiasts. RD - 214 liquid fuel rocket engine.

Some Rules:
1. Keep the conversation narrowly on the subject of the original post 🚨

2. Do not make any calls for violence of any kind. This includes constitutionally protected use of force. Telegram is not the constitution.🚨

3. Refrain from stigmatizing or denigrating any religion, creed, nationality, language, ethnicity, or sexual preference relating to those able to consent.🚨

4. Do not use language that we find abusive, don't harass other commenters. 🚨

5. Generally post in English. If the source is foreign, render a translation for your comment. 🚨

6. Follow these rules🚨

🧿 Fun fact, Russians don't have a ground floor, much like north America, the ground floor is the first floor.

🧿 Wanted to go to "Patriot Park" film some stuff for you all, nobody wanted to go with me, not Russians, not foreigners.

So as a consolation, going to go see Stalin's bunker.

🧿 So, it turns out you need to call in advance to organize a tour, and it is only available for groups, not individuals, so, no bunker today.

🧿 Here is some armour at the entrance though.

🧿 A quick peek at the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil's Cathedral.

🧿 For those of you who are not familiar with the 'evil eye' and mistake it for a 'Turkish symbol' or something like that, here is a video that popped up in my feed.

The symbol is used to ward off evil gazes and malevolent curses, for about 5000 years.

Plus, in telegram where most posts begin with a fire symbol or something red, this provides good contrast.
