Among all the heroes of Slavic mythology, Кот Баюн (the Cat Bayun) can be considered the most enigmatic.

🔻We can find mention of this animal with steel claws and fangs not only in folklore, but also in Pushkin's poem (he walks on a chain in Lukomorye).

🔻The Cat Bayun lived in the forests, far from people and not very fond of guests. The beast sat on an iron pillar and when he saw a traveller, he would begin to purr and talk to him. Having lulled the person's vigilance, the cat would pounce on him, kill and eat him.

🔻Because of the mythical creature's ability to speak, he was called Bayun, from the word "баить" to talk. It is from here that the well-known word "убаюкивать" to lull, to deprive of vigilance originates.

🔻He could cure diseases and even grant eternal life with his purring.

🔻In some fairy tales, the Cat Bayun is mentioned as a faithful assistant to Baba Yaga.

On September, 23, 1980, in Severodvinsk, Russia, the world's largest submarine 'Акула' ('Shark') was launched.

🔻On this day, the world’s largest submarine – as tall as a nine-story building and almost two football fields long, touched water for the first time.

🔻The new submarine was a worthy response to the American project of “Ohio” class submarines.

🔻The designers faced a difficult technical challenge – to accommodate 24 missiles weighing almost 100 tons each on board.

🔻After many design revisions, it was decided to place the missiles between two strong hulls.

🔻As a result, the first “Akula” submarine was built in a record short time – in 5 years.

🔻The crew of 160 people could serve in comfortable conditions: the submarine had a gym, swimming pool, solarium, sauna, lounge, and a pet corner.

👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

Походка 🆚️ Поступь

• Походка (femin.noun)
[pa-khot-ka]
Gait

• Поступь (femin.noun)
[po-stup']
Step

🔻In Russian, both nouns describe how someone walks, but there's a subtle difference:

1⃣"Походка" refers to the overall style and manner of walking, like a graceful or confident gait:
• Грациозная / уверенная походка
[gra-tsy-oz-na-ya / u-ve-ren-na-ya ...]

2⃣"Поступь" focuses on the individual movement of the foot, like a heavy or stately step (the latter is archaic):
• Тяжёлая / величавая поступь
[ti-zho-la-ya / vi-li-chа-va-ya ...]

❓А у котика на видео какая походка?

• Напихать полную панамку
[na-pi-khat' pol-nu-yu pa-nam-ku]
SLT: to stuff a full panama hat

'Панамка' is a diminutive form from the femin.noun 'панама'

Meaning: 
This slang expression has nothing to do with hats:
1) In terms of the internet communication it means to give someone a mouthful, to pour a pre-prepared set of counter-arguments and biting/abusing remarks/critisism on an opponent (usually on the internet forums)

2) It's also a way of saying to beat someone up or to give someone a good thrashing.

3) In a work context, this expression can be used to describe a large volume of work or information that needs to be done.

Example:
• За его оскорбительные слова о России ему напихали полную панамку в комментах.
[za yi-vo as-kar-bi-tel'-ny-ye sla-va a Rus-si-i yi-mu na-pi-kha-li pol-nu-yu pa-nam-ku]
🇬🇧 He was given a mouthful in the comments for his offensive remarks about Russia.

🎧🗣👇 Love Russia, be polite😉
