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.

The Daddy (Папаша) of USSR submachine guns (SG), the bestseller PPSh-41.

🔻PPD-40 were popular in the military, due to their reliability and large stock of cartridges. But they were laborious and difficult to produce.

🔻Designer G.S. Shpagin: 08.26.1940 submitted a prototype of his SG to the A.С. of MMAD. In the design, he summarized the experience of the war with Finland and simplified manufacturing as much as possible.

🔻After numerous tests of prototypes, in 10.1940 comparative firing of new weapons took place: 25 PPSh-41, against 15 SG B. G. Shpitalny and several PPD-40 models.

🔻Shpitalny's weapon showed lower dispersion and greater muzzle velocity, while Shpagin's weapon bribed with simple handling, weight of 3.5 kg a technological advantage. Probably, the latter was crucial, since the production time of the PPSh-41 was 5.5 hours less than that of the PPD. In total 5 mln PPSh-41 units were produced during the GPW.

⚓️ Today marks the anniversary of one of the most epic naval battles of the sailing era: the Battle of Chesma (1770). It was a victory forged against impossible odds!

🔻Imagine sailing 4,500 nautical miles – from the Baltic Sea, around ALL of Europe, through treacherous straits and a hostile Mediterranean swarming with enemy ships, just to reach a battle. The Ottomans literally thought it couldn't be done!

🔻But the Russian fleet, defying every expectation, did it!

🔻The outcome was catastrophic for the Ottomans:
Near total annihilation: Out of their 15 battleships, only ONE survived!
Up to 11,000 Ottoman sailors perished in the inferno.

🔻After the Battle of Chesma, the Russian fleet managed to severely disrupt Turkish communications in the Aegean Sea and establish a blockade of the Dardanelles. All of this played an important role in the conclusion of the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.

• День Семьи, Любви и Верности
The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity

🤍 This bright holiday, celebrated on July 8th, is a symbol of the eternal values upon which Russian society is built: love, devotion, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

💙 Its history is rooted in ancient times and is inextricably linked with the lives of the Orthodox saints - the Holy Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia of Murom.

❤ It was their marital life, full of trials, mutual respect, and deep fidelity, that became a model of an ideal marriage. Peter and Fevronia, who lived in the 13th century, exemplified through their lives a sincere and self-sacrificing love that was able to overcome any obstacles. They are considered the patrons of marriage and family in Russia.
