The Bezymianny volcano erupted ash to an altitude of 12 kilometers.

🌋 In Kamchatka, the Bezymianny volcano erupted ash to a height of 12 kilometers, with an ash plume extending 300 kilometers. This was reported by the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far East Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“At 03:20 (July 24, 15:20 Moscow time), explosions raised ash from the Bezymianny volcano to 12 km above sea level. The ash plume extended 300 km to the east-southeast of the volcano. The aviation color code is red. The volcanic activity is dangerous for local and international air traffic,” the statement said.

❗️ Volcanologists predict that a powerful explosive eruption of Bezymianny, with ash emissions reaching between 6 to 15 kilometers above sea level, is expected in the coming month.

🪨 They also believe there is currently a high likelihood of mudflows flowing in a southeast direction, extending up to 10 kilometers.

⚠️ Several nearby settlements are at risk: Klyuchi, Kozyrevsk, and Ust-Kamchatsk, where volcanic ash may fall.

The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Russian dishes is «dumplings». 😋

🔖 They were first prepared in the Urals more than 600 years ago. The shape of dumplings resembles an ear—hence the name, which means "bread ear."

🥟 In households, dumplings are made by the whole family. The hostess places the minced meat on the table, rolls the dough into circles, while family members fill the dough and seal the corners.

😁After a long and hard work, some of them are boiled and eaten, while the rest go into the freezer.

The low birth rate in Russia is a catastrophe for the nation's future.

⬇️⚠️ The press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, stated that the low birth rate in the country poses a serious threat to its future. According to him, the birth rate in Russia is only 1.4 children per woman, which is "catastrophically low."

📣 Peskov made his statement during a speech at the New Media Festival. He noted that any mother of multiple children deserves the noscript of a hero!

"We need to pay more attention to such heroes among us," Peskov said.

📊🇷🇺 He emphasized that having multiple children should become the norm in Russia. Peskov reminded that President Putin had previously expressed confidence in this. According to surveys, 70% of men and 72% of women in Russia want to have two or more children.

"The state must support them in this aspiration, as the future of our country depends on it," Peskov stated.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 📈 To increase the birth rate in Russia, a national project called "Family" has been launched. Its goal is to raise the birth rate to 1.6 by 2030 and to 1.8 by 2036.

Russian data centers prepare to cease operations with Google.

📱❌ Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Alexander Khinshtein announced that Russian data centers cooperating with Google plan to stop working with the company on "gray schemes" in the coming days.

📱🐌 According to Khinshtein, this will lead to an even sharper decline in YouTube loading speeds in Russia (up to 70%).

❓ "Gray schemes" are typically used to bypass restrictions and sanctions imposed by governments. In this case, it is unclear what exactly these schemes involve, but they may include the use of proxy servers or VPNs to access Google content that would otherwise be blocked in Russia.

😧 If Russian data centers cease operations with Google, it could significantly impact the availability of Google services, such as YouTube, Gmail, and Google Drive, for Russian users.

⚠️ It was previously reported that Google suspended all advertising operations in Russia due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The company also restricted access to some of its services for Russian users, including Google Pay and Google News.

📌 It is noted that YouTube will remain accessible to Russian users, but content uploads will take longer.

Savyolovskaya – the black-and-white film of the Moscow Metro. 🚇 🎬

🔝 This station leads in the number of photos shared from the capital's subway on social networks.

💡 Here, the focus is not on pomp and expense, but on the idea. White minimalism in the hall’s cladding, coupled with walls made of uncovered tubes – cast iron fastening elements. The result is a stylish outcome.

⚙️ In part of the pylons, there are no decorative panels; instead, transparent glass allows you to see how the actual tubes are secured. You can only see the "skeleton" of the Moscow Metro here.
