• Самовар (самовары)
[sa-ma-var (sa-ma-va-ry)]
🔻This masculine noun literally means 'self-brewer' from само (self) + варить (to boil).
🔻Having become one of the symbols of the Russian world, samovar was not originally invented in Russia. For the first time containers for boiling water appeared in China, but they did not have a tap for pouring water.
🔻The first samovars appeared in Russia in the late 1730s in the city Tula which became the Russian 'samovar capital'.
🔻This is where the Russian proverb comes from:
• Со своим самоваром в Тулу не ездят.
[sa sva-im sa-ma-va-ram f tu-lu ni yez'-dyat]
🇬🇧 You don't bring sand to the beach.
🔻There are also samovars for one glass - they are also called 'egoist'.
🔻For the children of Emperor Nicholas II, in 1909, Tula craftsmen made 5 small (1 glass) samovars.
🔻During Easter week, egg-shaped samovars were placed on the table.

• Женщина
[zhen-shchi-na]
A woman
🔻The word 'женщина' was formed from the Old Russian 'жена' (wife) and came into use only in the 16th century.
🔻In the Old Russian language there was only a collective concept - 'женьство' (female gender).
🔻As for the word 'жена', it comes from the Proto-Slavic “žena,” which, in turn, was borrowed from the ancient Indian, where “zna” is 'богиня' (goddess).
Just some fuel for thought :)

Константин Васильев (художник-славянист)
Konstantin Vasiliev (Slavist artist)
🔻Since childhood, Vasiliev loved fairy tales and folk epics and visited the Tretyakov Gallery as often as it was possible.
🔻In 1969, Konstantin Vasiliev painted the painting “Northern Eagle” (pic 1). A friend told Konstantin that he had seen a large eagle in the forest and described its piercing gaze. When Vasiliev removed the coverlet from the canvas, silence reigned in the room. The friends expected to see any bird, but ... they didn’t expect to see a man with an ax. The viewers were literally pierced by an eagle gaze of a courageous man, the ruler of the taiga, inspired by nature...
🔻His paintings depict Russian and Scandinavian gods and heroes of legends and sagas. Although there are many of his paintings that depict ordinary Russian people. Severe, strong, taciturn, discreet and unshakable.

German philosopher Walter Schubart in his book 'Europa und die Seele des Ostens' (1938) about the Russians:
🔻“Western European man views life as a slave whose neck he has stepped on... He does not look with devotion at the sky, but, full of lust for power, looks down at the earth with evil, hostile eyes.
🔻Russian people are obsessed not with the will to power, but with a feeling of reconciliation and love.
🔻An Englishman wants to see the world as a factory, a Frenchman as a salon, a German as a barracks, a Russian as a church.
🔻The West is driven by unbelief, fear and selfishness; The Russian soul is driven by faith, peace and brotherhood.
🔻Russians were Christians before they were converted to Christianity. Therefore, Christianity spread in Russia not by the sword but by itself, easily and quickly.
🔻This is where the Russian national idea comes from: the salvation of humanity will come from Russia."

This is a video clip of the Rybachev family, the finalists of 'Это у нас семейное' the “It’s a family thing” competition.
🔻The video for the song “Lucky” starred mom, dad, their five children, as well as grandparents.
🔻When the Rybachevs told the president about this hit, he asked to send him the song so that it would be shown in the media and “played” on the radio.
Chorus:
🇷🇺
Я — счастливчик,
Потому что у меня большая семья,
Я — счастливчик,
Оттого, что Россия — родина моя.
Я — счастливчик
И за это небеса благодарю,
Я — счастливчик,
Как огонь от радости искрю.

🔻Tetris is one of the best-selling games of all time. It has been played by billions of people worldwide.

День Дачника!
[den' dach-ni-ka]
Dacha Owner's Day!
🔻Дача [da-cha] (dacha) is a Russian suburban country house with a small garden where city dwellers have their leisure time and do gardening. It's not just a 'house in the village'! It's much closer to the family estate in miniature.
🔻The word 'дача' comes from the word 'давать' (to give). This name stuck in the 18th century, when Peter I decided that it was convenient to keep officials near the new capital, and began to give them nearby land plots near St. Petersburg.
🔻The usual meaning of a country house, adapted for living in the summer, appeared later, in the 19th century.
😉 Don't forget to congratulate your Russian friends on this day!
