• Москва слезам не верит.
[ maskva slizam ne verit ]
Moscow doesn't believe in tears.
🔻This expression is actually Russian; it arose during the rise of the Moscow principality, when large tribute was collected from other cities and principalities. Cities sent petitioners to Moscow with complaints of injustice. Such petitioners were often punished extremely cruelly in order to intimidate the dissatisfied.
🔻In 1980 a film with this tittle was short by Mosfilm. It became one of the most popular films of the time!
⏺ You can watch it either with Russian or English subtitles. 👇

The teacher goes back to the class, grabbing a visual aid.

There was a surprised silence.
— What is a globe?
— A good question! This is where we will start our lesson!
