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. 🇺🇸🇷🇺

Geopolitics, аccording to an Аmur tiger.

🔻A Chinese drivers in Jilin province had a rather unexpected encounter: with our very own Amur tiger. This striped diplomat apparently decided to take a visa-free stroll into China.

🔻Are things so bad in Russia that even the tigers are defecting? Well, as Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin said:

Границы России нигде не заканчиваются.
Russia's borders don't end anywhere.
Russia has no borders.

🔻But amidst all these human interpretations, the Amur tiger himself, looking into the wide eyes of the Chinese motorists and perhaps licking his chops, probably just wanted to clarify the quickest route back home and grab a quick bite for the journey.

🔻So, next time you see a wild animal crossing a border, perhaps it's not a geopolitical statement, but simply a hungry traveller looking for directions.
