• Одной левой
[ad-noy le-vay]
SLT: With just one's left hand
🔻This is a Russian idiom that means "easily" or "without any effort."
🔻It's often used to describe someone who is skilled or talented at something, and can do it effortlessly.
🔻The expression is based on the idea that using only your left hand is more difficult than using both hands, so if someone can do something with just their left hand, they must be very skilled.
Example:
• Он справился с ним одной левой!
[on spra-vil-sya s nim ad-noy le-vay]
🇬🇧 He coped with (beat) him with just his left hand!

In 1903, the Imperial family hosted a masquerade ball that invited 390 guests.
🔻All attendees were to arrive in costumes from the era of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ("pre-Petrine times"). Court ladies were to wear sarafan dresses and kokoshniks, while gentlemen should wear the clothes of boyars (noblemen) and streltsy (archers).
🔻The nobility of the Russian Empire gathered in the Winter Palace to celebrate the 290th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty's reign.
🔻Masquerade participants adorned themselves in national costumes, lavishly embellished with gemstones, pearls, and diamonds.
🔻These outfits were meticulously crafted beforehand, following designs by the artist Sergei Solomko under the guidance of historical consultants.
🔻The luxurious costumes, richly ornamented with rare furs and precious stones, cost their owners a fortune.
🔻 A few of these outfits have survived and are now housed in the Hermitage Museum collections.

I bet you haven't heard of this fascinating game, played exclusively by all Russians whose parents/grandparents/neighbours have dachas.
🔵 The rules:
• Games are held in autumn.
• Two teams of athletes participate.
• Team1⃣ needs to pass the main attribute of the game to the players of the other team as quickly as possible.
• Team2⃣ , using their ingenuity, wit and natural talent of persuasion, must either refuse to receive it or manage to quickly pass it on to third parties.
• The main attribute of the game is a zucchini, carefully grown in a dacha under the warm Russian sun without chemicals and pesticides.
🔵 You might ask, why grow a vegetable that Russians want to get rid of with all their might?
Since I play on team2⃣ , I don't know the answer to that question. But I can assume that the zucchini is a symbol of Russian care for one another.
❓Which team would you like to play on? Please vote!👇

🔻During the famous Swiss campaign, when A. V. Suvorov (1730 - 1800) was the commander-in-chief of the combined Russian-Austrian forces, the allies did everything possible to avoid fulfilling their obligations, and the main burden of the war march fell on our soldiers.
🔻After the brilliant completion of this most difficult campaign in the history of wars, the Austrians, wanting to show that they, supposedly, "also did a lot", decided to issue a commemorative medal in honor of the heroic campaign.
🔻Having learnt about this, Suvorov only said:
— On one side of this medal, the Russian coat of arms should be minted with the motto 'С нами Бог!' (Literally: God is with us!), and on the other, the Austrian coat of arms with the motto 'Бог с ними!' (Literally: God is with them!)
❓What's the difference?
• С нами Бог! is a classical battle motto showing faith in victory.
• Бог с ними! means 'Let it be so'. This is the expression of agreement, forgiveness, concession.
