In Penza, there is an amazing art object — a traffic light tree 😁

💡The idea of creating the traffic light tree belongs to the mayor of Penza, Roman Chernov. He was inspired by a similar object in London and decided to bring something like it to his city.

📍Thus, in 2011, the traffic light tree appeared at Suvorova Street, Penza, Penza Region, Russia.

🚦This remarkable creation consists of 36 decommissioned but functioning traffic lights.

Eight Cabriolet — VAZ-2108 «Targa»

🚗 The European trend for convertible cars slowly but surely reached Soviet citizens: «eights» and «nines» were converted into cabriolets by enthusiasts in their garages.

🏭 The topic didn't go unnoticed at the factory either. However, they decided to be original and not compromise on safety — they chose a «targa» body style.

🟡 The roof was rigid but removable, the rear window was preserved, and a safety bar was added, connecting the middle pillars.

🔖 Perhaps the most viable concept among all similar ones, but after its presentation in 1988, it was abandoned, and in 1992 it was scrapped for metal.

Russian border guards have left Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan after 32 years of service!

☄️📰 Today, an official ceremony took place at Zvartnots International Airport, located in the west of Yerevan, marking the end of service for Russian border guards. The military departed the airport under the march "Farewell of Slavianka" and the sounds of the Russian national anthem performed by a brass band.

🇷🇺📆 Russian border guards began their service at Zvartnots in 1992. In the early 2000s, training courses for local controllers were organized at the airport, and since then, Russian and Armenian border guards have worked side by side.

❌ In March, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the termination of Russian border guards' service at the airport, and they were to leave by August 1.

⚠️ The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament had also called for this earlier. In response to these events, the Russian Foreign Ministry characterized the actions of the Armenian authorities as another example of unfriendly behavior.
