On June 24, 1945, the Victory Parade took place on Red Square, Moscow.

🔻The parade commenced at 10:00 AM with Marshal Georgy Zhukov's entrance on a white horse. Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky commanded the parade, and they both inspected the troops.

🔻Finding a white horse which was supposed to symbolize the Victory, for Marshal Zhukov was no easy task, but one was found in the NKVD troops. Its name was Кумир (Idol).

🔻The preparations for the parade lasted a month. During this time, Zhukov got used to the horse, and the horse was trained not to be afraid of loud noises. To achieve this, an orchestra was present at the riding practices.

🔻The parade featured combined regiments from ten fronts, the Navy, military academies, and the Moscow garrison, including war heroes and distinguished soldiers.

🔻Key moments included the carrying of 36 battle flags of distinguished units and the symbolic disposal of 200 captured Nazi banners at the foot of Lenin's Mausoleum.

🔻Later, at a reception in the Kremlin, Stalin gave a toast, saying:

Our government has made not a few mistakes... Another nation might have said to the government: You have not justified our expectations, go away... But the Russian people did not do that...Thank you, the Soviet people, for the trust...

The Griboyedov Canal is one of the oldest in Saint Petersburg!

🔻Originally, the canal was called the Catherine Canal, after Empress Catherine II, during whose reign it was constructed.

🔻In 1923, the canal was renamed Griboyedov Canal, after the writer Alexander Griboyedov, and later simply the Griboyedov Canal.

🔻The renaming was part of a general Soviet-era policy aimed at replacing names associated with the Tsarist family with those of figures from Russian culture.

🔻Alexander Sergeyevich Griboyedov did indeed live in one of the houses along the canal's embankment, which likely served as the main reason for choosing his name for the renaming.

You Don't Mess Around With Comrade Stalin

🔻During the GPW, the troops under the command of Bagramyan were the first to reach the Baltic Sea. To present this event with more pomp, the general personally filled a bottle with water from the Baltic Sea and ordered his aide to fly to Moscow with this bottle.

🔻However, while he was flying, the Germans counterattacked and pushed Bagramyan away from the Baltic coast. By the time the aide arrived in Moscow, they had already been aware of this.
And so, the proud aide entered Stalin's office and grandly proclaimed:

"Comrade Stalin, General Bagramyan sends you water from the Baltic!"

🔻Stalin took the bottle, turned it over in his hands for a few seconds, then gave it back to the aide and said:

"Give it back to Bagramyan, tell him to pour it back where he took it from."

🔻General Baghramyan carried out the order only two months later and poured the water into the same place.

A challenge for the leaders, General Electric and Rolls-Royce to make room?

🔻Perm is testing a promising Russian PD-35 powerplant, the largest aircraft engine ever built in the country.

🔻Viktor Chuiko, head of the Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics, noted that unlike previous models, the PD-35 uses composite materials to create fan blades. This reduced the weight of one engine by more than 600 kg. Structurally, the engine is designed for a lifting weight of up to 35 tons, and in terms of manufacturability it goes beyond the 5th generation, approaching the requirements of the 6th generation.

🔻The PD-35 is currently undergoing a comprehensive test at the stand, where more than 20 new technological solutions are being developed.

🔻The PD-35's entry into the market will give Russia the opportunity to produce its own engines for L.R.W.B.C.A, without relying on foreign suppliers such as General Electric or Rolls-Royce.

How do the Hermitage cats live?
I wrote about them▶️here. Now you can see everything with your own eyes!

🔻Let's go down into the basements of the Winter Palace. These basements are over 200 years old. And the cats have lived here since the time of Catherine the Great.

🔻But why are they here? It's simple: the Hermitage cats protect the museum from rats and mice. Consider them to be in the palace's service. You won't find them in the museum itself, though – they have plenty of space: the basements stretch for tens of kilometers!

🔻However, each cat has its own bed and bowl, and three people care for them every day. There's a washing machine, clean bedding, and a sink – everything like home.

🔻The cats also have special doors through which they can go out for a stroll in the Hermitage courtyard.

🔻But where do all these kittens come from? Some are from Hermitage staff, but most are from buildings being redeveloped in the city center.

🔻There are 50 cats here permanently. The oldest one is currently 20 years old.

🔻Incidentally, you can also take an Hermitage cat home. To do this, you can register to view a fluffy friend on the official Hermitage website.

🔻You can also visit the basement once a year on Hermitage Cat Day, held on the last Saturday of May. Entry is free, so be prepared for a long queue. It's usually open from 12:00 to 17:00.

❓️Would you like to take an Hermitage cat home?
