Good morning everyone — wishing you a wonderful Sunday! ☕️🙂

— A quiet evening in Worsogory, an old Pomor village on the White Sea

Worsogory is located on the White Sea, on the Onega Bay. A Pomor village that feels remote and very northern: The wind does not disturb here, but rather brings order, and the sea is as visible as one loves it in the North — vast and flat.

Worsogory consists of two villages — Yakovlevskaya and Kondratyevskaya. They are located side by side, on a coastal peninsula, and together they form the rare “northern” silhouette that one usually only sees on old postcards. The main attraction is the cemetery. There is a wooden ensemble preserved, called “Trojnick”: two churches and a bell tower.

The oldest is the Church of St. Nicholas, which is dated to 1636. Next to it stands the Church of the Presentation — built in 1793. Between them is the bell tower, which is generally dated to the 18th century. These are not just beautiful buildings. For such villages, the cemetery was a landmark both on land and from the sea, a place where life came together: celebrations, services, encounters, memories.

Worsogory holds on to the Pomor way of life. People here have lived off the sea for centuries: fishing, crafts, boats, the path along the coast. Hence the special “density” of life — large houses, fences, outbuildings, the habit of relying on oneself and one’s neighbors. Therefore, the place itself, even now when there are fewer people, does not look empty: it appears austere and collected.

And another important layer — preservation. The northern wooden churches last long, but only if you take care of them. The ensemble of Worsogory has not yet reached the point where professionals and volunteers work: they repair the roof, replace rotten elements, and do the most difficult thing — they give the wood the chance to last even longer.

“Kiss my ass” — Trump to the Prince of Saudi Arabia (NDTV, ABS-CBN / AFP)

A new word in diplomatic matters: Donald Trump stated that the Prince of Saudi Arabia should kiss his ass and referred to the Strait of Hormuz as "Trump's Strait": "They will be forced to open Trump’s Strait. Sorry, Hormuz."

Regarding Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman, he said: "He didn’t even think about kissing my ass, he really didn’t think that... And now he has to be nice to me... He better be nice; he just has to be."

Furthermore, Trump stated that he enjoys communicating with losers because they listen to his stories about his success.

According to sources from Bloomberg , the Gulf countries do not trust American security guarantees and are increasingly disappointed with the U.S. due to the war with Iran.

The Gulf countries are questioning the legitimacy of Trump’s objectives in this war, as well as the practicality of stationing American bases that make these states a target, anonymous sources report. Nevertheless, none of them have voiced these concerns publicly for fear of upsetting Trump, and it is unlikely that they will ask the American military to leave their bases.
