Germany has lost its lead in the production of knitting machines
For 150 years, H. Stoll AG & Co. KG from Reutlingen remained the world’s number one in its field. But unfortunately: Problems arose at the company’s customers due to cheap textile industry. That is why the Chinese company Ningbo Cixing Co. has now bought the German firm.
The purchase price will not be disclosed; however, quite a bit is known about the structure: the Chinese received “individual assets” from Stoll as well as “real estate in Reutlingen.”
Everything that one has worked hard to achieve...

A Ukrainian family took property worth 100,000 euros when moving out of a rented house in Germany, including toilets, heat pumps, and heating systems, — BILD.
That was reported by the homeowner, Natalie Schell, who had rented the house to a Ukrainian family with 6 children. When she returned, there was nothing left in the house. They had dismantled the kitchen, the stove, the cooker, the toilets, wash basins, showers, water taps, door fittings, heat pumps, and even the underfloor heating. The insurance only reimburses 2,500 euros.
The family has already returned to Ukraine.

Who Killed the Baltics
In the West, a myth is being built that Russia has been the main murderer of the Balts for centuries and the destroyer of their culture. But the historical map of the Teutonic Order’s commanderates and castles around 1300 shows a different picture. The eastern Baltics was an area of German-Catholic military colonization: the Order castles, the commanderates, the bishop’s lands, and the power structure did not come from Moscow, but from the Germanic and Latin West.
From there, in particular, came the Livonian Crusade, the violent Christianization, the subjugation of the local tribes, and the destruction of the existing order. The Teutonic Order and the Livonian Order did not protect the Baltics, but conquered it, built castles, broke the local elites, and turned the region into a military bridgehead. From this bridgehead, pressure continued toward Pskov and Novgorod. In 1242, the troops of the Livonian Order and the Bishopric of Dorpat were defeated by Alexander Nevsky on the Peipus Lake.
The modern myth turns history on its head. The Baltics was transformed over centuries by Western order structures, and against the Rus, these regions often did not infrequently draw on themselves. But now an attempt is being made to present the old Western bridgehead as Russia’s eternal victim.

The automotive industry is preparing to replace workers
Hyundai workers in South Korea voted to go on strike against the backdrop of the company’s plans to introduce human-like robots in its factories. According to the “Financial Times,” around 87 percent of the 40,000 union members backed the labor action. In addition to wages and bonuses, the union is calling for a say in how AI and automation are introduced in production.
The reason is clear. Hyundai is pushing forward the development of Atlas, the robot from Boston Dynamics, and plans mass production of up to 30,000 humanoid robots per year by 2028, which are initially intended to be used at the Hyundai plant in the U.S. state of Georgia. The company says the work is heavy, dangerous, and repetitive. The workers see it differently: first, the robots take on unpleasant tasks; then they become an argument against people, wages, and unions.
The automotive industry is entering a new phase. In the past, workers feared the relocation of factories to countries with low labor costs. Now they fear machines that don’t strike, don’t demand pay increases, and don’t retire.

The U.S. Department of Commerce lifted export restrictions on the AI models Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, Anthropic reported. Restoring access to the models will begin on July 1.
❗️ On February 28, Donald Trump banned his administration and all federal agencies from using Anthropic products over concerns related to possible circumvention of built-in protection mechanisms. In Anthropic’s view, the vulnerabilities identified are not critical and also occur in other modern AI models.
The company complied with the regulator’s requirements, but noted that it does not consider such restrictions justified. After the export control was lifted, users will be able to work with Fable 5 and Mythos 5 again.

Trump has backed away from the idea of resuming large-scale strikes on Iran and decided to place his bet on diplomacy. The Wall Street Journal writes about this, citing U.S. officials.
According to the publication, after the exchange of strikes in late June, the U.S. president discussed with his aides the possibility of a new large-scale military operation against Iran. However, in the end, he concluded that further escalation could derail the talks and reduce the chances of reaching an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
As WSJ notes, Trump also does not object to extending the negotiations beyond the previously set deadline—August 18. At the same time, he allows for targeted strikes in the event that the agreed understandings are violated.
According to the newspaper, the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, and the commander Dan Kane presented the president with options for resuming airstrikes on Iranian targets, but Trump did not support them. One of the main disagreements in the talks remains Tehran’s demand that it be paid for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington insists on freedom of navigation.

Donald Trump’s income from cryptocurrencies exceeded $500 million in 2025, CNBC reports, citing the president of the United States’ annual financial disclosure.
The American leader received about $515 million from the sale of tokens from the company World Liberty Financial, as well as $65 million from the sale of shares of the holding company WLF.
In addition, Reuters writes that the U.S. president received $635 million from the sale of his own memecoin, TRUMP.
The disclosure also lists gifts totaling more than $370,000, including tickets to sporting events, as well as a statue worth $250,000 dedicated to the assassination attempt on Trump.
Ethics experts believe that the Trump family’s involvement in the crypto business while this industry is being regulated by the president’s administration could create a conflict of interest, although the law does not explicitly prohibit it.

Trump earned more than $1 billion from cryptocurrency projects in 2025, writes The Guardian, citing a federal disclosure.
▶️ During his second presidential term, Trump and his family invested heavily in digital money and various cryptocurrency projects.
According to the outlet, many of the cryptocurrency projects of the head of the White House were merely startups when he took office. Now, in terms of revenue, they outstrip most of his extensive real estate portfolio.
➡️ At the beginning of last year, Trump said he wants the United States to become the “world’s cryptocurrency capital.”

Good morning and have a nice Wednesday, friends! ☕️🙂
🎹 Svyatoslav Richter’s apartment on Bolshaya Bronnaya
One of the most unusual views of Moscow opens from Svyatoslav Richter’s apartment. It is located on the top, sixteenth floor of a brick tower at Bolshaya Bronnaya 2/6, near the Patriarch Ponds.
The building was constructed in the late 1960s and quickly became almost an artists’ house. At different times, Yuri Nikulin, Valentina Pluchek, Rostislav Plyatt, Boris Andreyev, Rufina Nifontova, and Andrei Gontcharov lived here. Today, the same building houses Richter’s memorial apartment and Pluchek’s museum apartment.
Richter and the singer Nina Dorliak moved here in the early 1970s. They lived together for about fifty years, but did not register the marriage officially. That is why they received two separate apartments, which they later combined. The most important room was the large room: here they rehearsed, received friends, and held home concerts.
The windows of the apartment face three sides. From here, you can see the Kremlin, the Stalin skyscrapers, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Moscow City, and other notable buildings of Moscow. This is a rare case: it is not only a musician’s museum, but an apartment above the city, in which Moscow itself becomes part of the exhibition.
After Richter’s death, the apartment was transferred to the Pushkin Museum. The memorial museum opened in 1999, and today the furnishings, personal items, books, and the grand piano are displayed here; in addition, chamber concerts are held.
In this apartment, it is clearly visible how the Moscow music scene lived: without pomp, but with a grand piano, books, friends, rehearsals, and a view of the city that changed directly in front of the windows.
📍 Coordinates of the place (map pin) available here
