Myths about Stalin: Who actually said the famous phrase?

📖 It is often said that Stalin liked to repeat that every mistake has a name and a surname It is said that Stalin's cruel logic was that if there was a failure, there was a specific culprit.

📖 This is a beautiful legend, but it is just a myth. In reality, the phrase was first uttered by someone else, and the circumstances were much more prosaic.

📖 In 1940, Lazar Kaganovich, People's Commissar of Railways, reported to the leader about the success: accidents on the railways have sharply decreased.

🚂 Stalin asked: what is the secret? And Kaganovich gave out a clearly bureaucratic, but accurate formula of success:

У каждой ошибки есть имя, фамилия и должность.
Behind every mistake there is a name, a surname and a position.

📖 In other words, it was not a sentence, but the principle of personal responsibility, which worked for the benefit of transportation safety.

🚀Nuclear Provocation in Ukraine.

⚡️ SVR Data: London and Paris are preparing a nuclear provocation. According to intelligence information, England and France are planning to transfer nuclear munitions to Kiev (the French TN75 warhead for M51.1 missiles is under consideration) in order to present them as a Ukrainian development.

🚀Dmitry Medvedev has already responded harshly: this would constitute a direct transfer of nuclear weapons to a nation at war. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council stated that in such a case, Russia would have to use nuclear weapons (including non-strategic ones) against targets in Ukraine. Moreover, strikes could also be carried out against the supplier nations, who would become complicit in a nuclear conflict.

🚀The Kremlin has labeled these plans a "flagrant violation" of international obligations.

Как русские встречают весну.
How Russians meet spring.

• Сосулька (сосульки) (femin.)
[sa-sul'-ka (sa-sul'-ki)]
Icicle(s)

🔻This noun comes from сосу‌ля [sa-su-lya] (something you can suck—originally a pacifier, then candy) → from соса‌ть (to suck). The name transferred from suckable thing to icicle because of the shape and, let's be honest, because children love to suck on them!

❤️‍🔥 Congrats on the first day of spring, my dears!

• Пришёл марток - надевай семеро порток.
[pri-shyol mar-tok - na-di-vay se-mi-ra par-tok]
When March comes, put on seven pairs of pants/trousers.

🔻This Russian proverb warns that early spring weather is deceptive. The sun may shine, but the cold hasn't truly gone—so keep dressing warmly!

🔻Breaking it down:

• Марток [mar-tok] is a folksy, affectionate name for март (March). The suffix -ок makes it sound more colloquial.

• Семеро [se-mi-ro] = семь (seven) (in a collective form). Used here for humorous exaggeration—not literally seven, but lots.

• Порток [par-tok] (Plural, Genitive from портки [part-ki]) This is an old word for pants (AmE) /trousers (BrE). Modern Russian uses штаны [shta-ny], but портки still sounds rustic and humorous.

🖼 See the picture of old Russian портки in the comments!

So, take care, comrades! Don't trust March and put on seven (pairs of) pants (AmE) if you happen to be in Russia! 🙃❄️

Аптекарский огород
Apothecary's Garden

🌷This is a garden where medicinal plants are grown.

🌷Historically, these were pharmacy gardens established by Peter the Great in the early 1700s to grow herbs for medicines.

🌷Today, it refers to Moscow's oldest botanical garden (founded 1706), now a branch of Moscow State University and a popular park where you can see beautiful flowers, exotic plants, and even a 300-year-old larch tree!
