Did you know that in St.Petersburg near Lakhta centre (Gasprom) there are three giant flagpoles each 175 meters high?

☆The first flag is the flag of the Russian Federation

☆The second one is the flag of the Soviet Union

☆The third one is the flag of the Russian Empire (Tsarist Russia).

🔻The introduction of three flags in 2023 coincided with significant historical anniversaries tied to their creation:
- the 165th anniversary of the Russian Empire's flag,
- the 100th anniversary of the Red Banner,
- the 330th anniversary of Peter the Great's tricolor.

🔻The building of the Lakhta Center (Gazprom Center) is visible in the background. The tallest skyscraper in Europe is 462 meters.

Добрый день. С вами Диана Гулян. Многие считают, что моя визитная карточка - это мои глаза. Но я считаю, что моя визитная карточка, это мой язык. Чтобы убедиться в этом, послушайте одну историю: ...
Good afternoon. This is Diana Gulyan. Many people believe my calling card is my eyes. But I believe my calling card (best feature) is my language. To prove this, listen to a story: ...😱

😅The only word which springs to my mind today is:

▶️Жесть!

❓️Can you hear any familiar words in her 'story'?

👋Добрый вечер, товарищи!
Let's have a quick look at expressing possession.

🔻Компьютер (Whose? кого?) takes a(n) adjective + noun in Genitive case:

A masculine noun:
• Компьютер моего русского друга
My Russian friend's computer

A feminine noun:
• Компьютер моей русской жены
My Russian wife's computer

A noun in plural:
• Компьютер моих русских друзей
My Russian friends' computer

BTW 'windows' is often called винда [vin-da] in Russian. Have you been impressed with the Russian one😉?

👋Приветствую, товарищи!

• Зализывать раны (после + Genintive) (imperf.)
[za-li-zy-vat' ra-ny (pos-le)]
=
• Зализать раны (perf.)
[za-li-zat' ra-ny]
SLT: To lick one's wounds (after..)

🔻Despite its literal translation, this Russian idiom doesn't refer to physical injuries. Instead, it describes the process of recovering from a defeat, setback, offense, or other negative event. It's about emotional and mental healing, taking time to recover strength and composure after a difficult experience.

🔻The prefix за- in the verb зализывать implies the completion of an action, bringing it to an end or a result. In this case, it signifies complete recovery.

Example (resemblance to actual political events is purely coincidental!!):

• После схватки кот и собака зализывали раны, понимая, что хрупкий мир может рухнуть в любой момент.
After their scuffle, the cat and dog licked their wounds, aware that their fragile peace could collapse at any moment.

During the reign of Emperor Alexander III, a soldier named Oreshkin got drunk in a royal tavern and became disorderly.

🔻When they tried to reason with him, pointing to a portrait of the Emperor, Oreshkin retorted, "I don't give a damn about your Emperor!" He was arrested and charged with insulting the Emperor.

🔻After reviewing the case, the Emperor, finding it trivial, wrote the following resolution:
"Dismiss the case, release Oreshkin, and henceforth forbid hanging my portraits in taverns. Inform Oreshkin that I also don't give a damn about him."
