Is it true that Russians have bears as pets?
🔻Oh, the age-old question! And ... sometimes, yes, they do! But let's be real: bears are last century. The real trendsetters? Big cats!
🔻Meet Ekaterina, for instance. This incredible woman didn't just get a cat; she welcomed a lynx into her home! Hannah, the magnificent lynx, is all grown up and, get this, she's expecting kittens! A growing family needs room to roam, especially when you're a wild cat about to give birth and raise a litter of active little furballs. So, what did they do? They built Hannah her very own, spacious enclosure! Now, Ekaterina doesn't just visit her majestic friend; she can even stay the night!
🔻But wait, there's more to this animal kingdom than just Hannah! This incredibly warm family also shares their lives with an entire menagerie: lynxes, cougars, raccoons, beavers, dune cats, Maine Coons, elegant Singapura cats, loyal dogs, mini-piggies!

Kalashnikov Concern-steps towards perfection.
🔻"In January, Kalashnikov Concern JSC shipped the first batch of improved AK-12 assault rifles of the 2023 model under government contracts for 2025 to the customer.
🔻Currently, AK-12 are being supplied to the Russian army, upgraded based on the experience of its military.
🔻The model differs from the base version, 2018, by an integrated non-removable slit flame suppressor compensator and a trigger mechanism with a two-way safety translator, which provides the ability to switch firing modes and operate the safety lock without removing the hand from the control handle.
🔻The new dioptric sight has become universal and weatherproof: it has a folding rear sight with holes of various diameters, which makes it easier to shoot in conditions of limited visibility.
🔻At the end of January, Kalashnikov announced the development of two modifications of the AK-12: shortened AK-12K, small-sized AK-12SK.

• (Не) Выспаться (perf.)
[ni vys-pa-tsa]
(Not) to get enough sleep
🔻The verb выспаться comes from the verb спать (to sleep).
🔻The prefix ВЫ- here signifies completeness, the conclusion of an action, and a sufficient degree/extent.
🔻The perfective aspect verb выспаться doesn't have the Present Tense forms, so, you can use its imperfective equivalent:
• Высыпаться (imperf.)
[vy-sy-pa-tsa]
❗️Don't confuse высыпаться (to have enough sleep, imperf.) and высыпаться (to pour out, spill out, be scattered, perf.).
The Past tense:
• Я не выспался (masc.,singular)
[ya ni vys-pal-sya]
=
• Я не выспалась (femin.,singular)
[ya ni vys-pa-las']
=
• Мы не выспались (plural)
[my ni vys-pa-lis']
I / we haven't had enough sleep
❓️А вы выспались сегодня?

That merciless Russian cursive handwriting!
• Шиш
[shysh]
🔻This interjection (or sometimes exclamatory noun) is used to denote a strong, emphatic refusal, denial, or the idea of nothing or you won't get anything.
⚠️It's generally rude or dismissive!
🔻Шиш is a very close synonym of фиг. Both words are used in similar contexts to express negation, refusal, or to refer to the fig sign gesture.
🔻While фиг might be slightly more common and versatile in some everyday expressions, шиш carries a similar dismissive and negative connotation.

Rosatom has a run of good luck: Uzbekistan wants more…
🔻S.A.E.C. Rosatom and Uzbekistan are changing the NPP construction project in the country.
🔻A decision has been made, we are implementing a project of two (there were 6) small nuclear power plants (SNPP) based on RITM200 reactors and are working on two large 1000MW class nuclear power units at the same site," said Alexey Likhachev, head of Rosatom.
🔻This will make it possible to optimize costs for construction, and therefore increase the competitiveness of electricity. In this design, we will have a base generation of, say, 2000 MW, if we put it for the thousandth, and greater maneuverability at the level of another 200/55 MW (SNPP). The revenue that will come from, a SNPP will significantly reduce investment and capital costs during the construction phase of large power units.
🔻The construction of a SNPP in Uzbekistan is the first such export project of Rosatom

🔻The fields are located in the Duvan District of Bashkortostan — between the villages of Mitrofanovka and Uulkundy. The distance from Ufa is less than 300 kilometers.
🔻As a reminder, karst is the formation of underground voids/cavities due to water washing away the rock.
