Western tik-tok tore up a video about Russian men.
🔻European women are shocked that Russian men consider it their responsibility to pay for a woman. Now many of them dream of a Russian man.
🔻Russian families usually have a common budget, or if the man earns much more, the woman spends her salary on herself, and the man provides for the family. A woman provides comfort at home, cleaning and home-cooked food.
🔻Anyway, in the “candy-bouquet” period, when a man is courting a woman, the cost of entertainment (cinema, theater, travel) is usually on the man.
🔻However, every rule has its exceptions and the situations can differ.
• Платить за ... (+accus.) (imperf. )
[pla-tit' za ..]
To pay for ...
📎 Just to continue the discussion (in our chat group) 'Russian is not for sissy men!' (C) 😉

• Увидеть Париж и умереть.
[u-vi-dit' pa-rish i u-mi-ret']
To see Paris and die.
Meaning:
To see Paris is the ultimate dream. If you see it, you don’t need anything else in this life.
🔻Actually, this phrase is a distorted version of the Italian proverb 'See Naples and die'. Its author is the Russian writer Ilya Ehrenburg, who used it in his book 'Мой Париж' (My Paris) (1931).
🔻In fact, this phrase existed long before Ehrenburg, and its roots go back to Ancient Rome. Back then, it sounded like 'Videre Napoli et Mori,' where 'Mori' is the name of a town near Naples, not the verb 'умереть' (to die).
🔻Over time, the meaning of the phrase changed, and instead of "See Naples and Mori," the familiar 'Увидеть Неаполь и умереть' (To see Naples and die) appeared.
🔻So, the 'Parisian' version is an adaptation of the Italian proverb.
📎 There is NO HINT about the literal meaning of this phrase in terms of the 2024 Olympics in France.

🇷🇺 Склоняюсь к тому, что во фразеологизме 'Уверенность в завтрашнем дне' упоминается 'дно', а не 'день'.
🇬🇧 I am inclined to believe that in the phraseological unit “Confidence in the future дне” it is “bottom” (дно) that is mentioned not “day” (день).
🗝
The prepositional case for both nouns 'день' (day) and 'дно' (bottom) has the same form: 'дне'. So, it depends on the optimistic or pessimistic context to decide which word was used.

On April 30, 1961, Dr. Leonid Rogozov, a member of the 6th Soviet Antarctic Expedition, operated on his own appendix, saving himself in the middle of an icy wilderness.
🔻Imagine: you're at Novolazarevskaya Station in Antarctica, winter, the nearest civilization is 3,000 km away. And then - appendicitis!
🔻Rogozov had to make a choice: risk it and wait for evacuation, which could take several weeks, or take a scalpel in hand and operate on himself.
🔻He decided to take a chance.
With the help of his colleagues, using makeshift tools, Leonid performed a complex surgery, without losing consciousness.
🔻A few weeks later, he returned to work, and the story of his courage became a legend.
🔻What's even more remarkable is that his "assistants" during the surgery had no medical background, making this feat all the more incredible.
