The grandfather of Soviet submachine guns.

🔻The creation of a 7.62mm submachine gun (SG) of the Degtyarev system (PPD-34, PPD 34/38, PPD-40) in 1934 It begins with official works in 1925.

🔻In 1926, the Artillery Committee approved a draft design for the creation of submachine guns. They chose a 7.63×25 mm Mauser cartridge to unify the production of pistol barrels, submachine guns, and Mosin rifles.

🔻Designer V. A. Degtyarev presented his SG in 1929. Over the course of several years, he improved it until the military was satisfied with the option.

🔻In 1934 The SG was presented to the MMAD commission, along with other developments. According to the test results, the PPD was noted as promising, but sent for revision. In January 1935, an experimental batch of SG was produced, and in July it was adopted by the Red Army.

🔻During the years 1935-1940 The SG was upgraded to PPD-40 based on combat experience.

The threat of extinction for the Amur tiger in Russia has been eliminated!

• Aмурский тигр (тигры) (mas .noun)
[a-mur-skiy tigr (tig-ry)]

🔻Konstantin Chuychenko, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Amur Tiger Center, emphasized that the goal of preserving the population has been achieved: in 2013, it was around 430 individuals, and now it stands at 750.

Did you know that ...

🔻95% of the Amur tiger population lives in Russia, specifically in Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krais, Amur Oblast, and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.

🔻Among the six existing tiger subspecies, the Amur tiger is the largest and strongest.

🔻By winter, the Amur tiger develops a 5-6 cm layer of fat on its belly and possesses very thick fur.

🔻On average, an Amur tiger controls a territory of 100 km².

🔻The average lifespan of a tiger in the wild is about 15-18 years.

🔻In past centuries, the Udege and Nanai peoples had a ritual for tiger funerals. If a deceased animal was found in the forest, the same ceremony was performed as in the case of a noble tribal member's passing.

In Primorye (Far East of Russia), a worker encountered a rare Far Eastern leopard and scared it off with one question:

• Чё, оборзел?
[cho a-bar-zel]

🔻The bewildered big cat decided not to mess with the guy.

🔻Чё, оборзел? (->Ты что, оборзел? = literally: What, have you become too imprudent?) is a highly informal, confrontational Russian phrase:

• Чё is a slang contraction of что (What).
• Оборзеть means to become impudent, brazen, or shameless.

🔻The phrase expresses strong indignation or a challenge towards someone acting extremely audacious or disrespectfully. It roughly translates to Are you completely brazen/shameless?! or Who do you think you are?!

This is the best foster mom in the world!

🔻Lynx Alyona lives in the Irkutsk Zoo, and she has a very strong maternal instinct.

🔻Over several years, she has already raised orphaned kittens, bear cubs, five puppies, and two Amur tiger cubs.

🔻Alyona makes sure the babies are well-fed, clean, and well-behaved.

🔻As soon as she hears the pitiful meows of abandoned babies, she understands: "Oh, these are mine!"

Если бы ChatGPT делал операцию...
- А почему у меня шрам слева, если аппендикс справа?
- Ты абсолютно прав, и молодец, что заметил. Сейчас я переделаю операцию с правильной стороны.
If ChatGPT were performing surgery...
- But why is my scar on the left, if appendicitis is on the right?
- You are absolutely correct, and excellent observation! I will now re-perform the operation on the correct side.

🔻These adverbs of place refer to a static position or location on the right/left side:

• Справа
[spra-va]
On the right

• Слева
[sle-va]
On the left

Flashback to October 1863: Russian sailors of the Varyag corvette in New York, captured in this historic photo by Matthew Brady.

🔻It seems almost unbelievable today, but there was a time when Russia and the United States shared a bond of mutual respect. Russian sailors visiting America were greeted with applause, and the St. Andrew's flag proudly flew on the shores of the Potomac.

🔻The Varyag corvette itself was dispatched by Emperor Alexander II during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Its mission? To assist President Lincoln's government and protect New York from potential attacks by Southern forces and an Anglo-French squadron.

🔻A powerful historical snapshot, reminding us of different times and enduring diplomatic ideals. 🇺🇸🇷🇺
