• Обломать (perf.)
[ab-la-mat']

[ab-la-ma-tsa]
1⃣ The literal meaning of "обломать" is to break something, usually by bending or snapping it.
• Я обломал ветку дерева.
I broke a branch off the tree.
2⃣ "Обломать" can also mean to ruin someone's plans or to spoil their mood:
• Извини, но я обломал тебе все планы своей болезнью.
Sorry, but I ruined all your plans with my sickness.
3⃣ This is where things get a bit more nuanced. "Обломаться" in this context means to feel disappointed or let down, often because something didn't go as expected:

Earlier this fall, Putin’s propaganda machine managed to distract Russians with the topic of quadrobers—people identifying as four-legged creatures. But now, with the first snow on the ground and temperatures dipping below freezing, the quadrobers are off the streets. And the populace is once again demanding London be bombed to pieces.

Yekaterinburg (see the video) has started selling half-meter shawarma, which is "easily enough to feed a group of friends".
• Шаурма [sha-ur-ma]
• Шаверма [sha-ver-ma] (in St Petersburg)
• Шавуха [sha-vu-kha] (colloquial)
• Шава [sha-va] (colloquial)
🔻Шаурма is a popular street food in Russia, but did you know it actually originated in the Middle East? It was brought to Russia by immigrants in the 1990s and quickly gained popularity.
🔻In Russia, a popular variation of shawarma uses:
Lavash: A thin, flatbread
Marinated spicy carrot: This adds a kick of flavor and sweetness
Fried chicken: Usually marinated and seasoned
Cucumber: Adds a refreshing crunch
Ketchup and mayonnaise: Classic condiments that add richness and tang
French Fries: to make even more nutritious
🔻Doctors consider shawarma to be a healthy meal: the combination of a large amount of vegetables, meat, and a small amount of bread contains ingredients for a healthy diet.
❓Do you have a similar snack in your country?

Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay, a great Russian traveler, supported by the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, set off to the islands of the Pacific Ocean and opened the world to New Guinea.
🔻Nikolai, being in his student years, helped in the hospital. He nursed a girl there who became his first love.
But he was unable to save the beautiful woman.
🔻She bequeathed her skull to her beloved, from which he later made a nice lamp with a green shade and carried it with him on all his travels, in memory of his first love.

The Lena Pillars: A Natural Wonder in Siberia
🔻The Lena Pillars are a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Sakha Republic in eastern Siberia, Russia.
🔻This natural wonder consists of towering rock formations that rise dramatically from the banks of the Lena River, forming a breathtaking and awe-inspiring landscape.
🔻The pillars are made of Cambrian limestone, which was formed over 540 million years ago. Erosion from the Lena River over millions of years has carved these majestic formations, creating a variety of shapes and sizes.
🔻Some pillars are as tall as 100 meters, with intricate patterns and textures that seem to defy gravity.
🔻The Lena Pillars are accessible by boat from the town of Yakutsk, the capital of Sakha Republic. There are also hiking trails that offer spectacular views of the pillars. Visitors can explore the surrounding area and learn about the history and culture of the Yakut people.
📍Geoposition: the Sakha Republic, Yakutia, Russia.
