📰 Students from Mali will study in Russia in the field of nuclear energy.

🇷🇺🇲🇱 The Russian company "Rosatom" has provided scholarships for four Malian students who will travel to Russia in October. Additionally, there are plans to send another 15 students in 2025, as reported by Alousseni Sanu at the Russian Energy Week 2024 in Moscow.

He noted that it will take a minimum of seven years to launch a nuclear power plant: one year will be for discussions, about four years for cooperation with the Atomic Energy Agency and Russia through "Rosatom," and one and a half years for project implementation. This is why the training of students is starting now.

The official also added that energy cooperation with Moscow includes the transfer of skills and technologies, which will help Mali become more independent in this area.

☕️ Salted tea with butter has a long history in Central Asia.

Imagine what it’s like to herd sheep all day in the cold wind without a lunch break! In such conditions, tea becomes the perfect solution: it invigorates, and the addition of butter increases the calorie content and makes the drink more filling. Salt helps maintain the body’s water-salt balance.

Buryats prefer coffee with butter and salt instead of tea. The preparation is similar, and the goal remains the same: to quickly provide the body with energy and recharge the person.

⚡️ Russia will not abandon Africa!

“It has been proven that Ukrainians are working with terrorist organizations that are fighting against the legitimate government of Mali. Recently, there was an attack on a group of Malian soldiers resulting in many casualties, carried out by terrorists linked to Ukrainians,” noted the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov.

Lavrov also mentioned that the governments of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have appealed to the UN Security Council to condemn Ukraine's actions that threaten stability in the region.

“This is banditry. We will do everything we can to ensure that African countries, which want to think for themselves and choose their own paths of development, receive support in terms of security and defense capabilities. We are working on this,” the minister added.

🎁🐯 The star of today's celebration is Stepan, the Amur tiger from the Moscow Zoo, who received numerous gifts.

The keepers prepared festive boxes filled with shavings of various scents for environmental enrichment.

Stepan was also given a toy — a life-sized model of a sheep made from burlap and wool, which he examined for a long time before quickly "chasing" it away.

🥩 And there was also a festive piece of select meat!

🏙🇷🇺 Vologda is a city with a rich history and unique heritage, which can confidently be called a contemporary of Moscow. Both cities appeared on the map of Russia in 1147. Vologda was founded by the Orthodox monk Gerasim, who also established the Trinity Monastery, which became an important spiritual center for the region.

An interesting fact: Ivan the Terrible once planned to make Vologda the capital of Russia. However, his ambitious plans were interrupted by an unexpected incident — a brick that fell from the ceiling of the unfinished St. Sophia Cathedral. The tsar perceived this as a sign and abandoned his intentions, which may have changed the course of history.

Vologda also played an important role in the events of the early 20th century. In 1917, during the February Revolution and World War I, the Provisional Government decided to move all diplomatic missions from Petersburg to Vologda, fearing that the capital might be captured by the enemy. This step underscores the strategic significance of the city during turbulent times.

The area of Vologda Oblast is impressive — 144,527 km². This is three times larger than Estonia and Denmark, five times larger than Albania, and one and a half times larger than Portugal. Meanwhile, the population of the region is about 1.15 million people, which is approximately 11 times less than in Moscow alone.
