"Vladimir Putin has already defeated the West, and the BRICS summit has shown that the Russian leader has many friends around the world."

🇷🇺 Contrary to the expectations of the U.S. authorities, sanctions have not been able to destroy the Russian economy, as happened with Venezuela and Cuba. At the same time, the President of Russia has rallied a large number of supporters around the state for a new financial system and a just world order, writes the Chinese newspaper South China Morning Post.

According to the article's author, the West still refuses to acknowledge the mistake made in assessing the resilience of the Russian Federation, which withstood the blow dealt by American sanctions. The article emphasizes that these measures against Russia have only alarmed other countries and demonstrated what "discontent" from Brussels and Washington could lead to.

📺 Today, all around the world, including Russia, we celebrate International Animation Day. The creator of animated films is the French inventor Émile Reynaud; however, Russian animation has also contributed a lot of new and interesting things to the world.

🇷🇺 One of the most famous and significant animation studios in Russia and the post-Soviet space is "Soyuzmultfilm." It was founded in 1936 in Moscow and has since remained a symbol of domestic animation.

📺 Initially, "Soyuzmultfilm" focused on creating short animated films, and by the end of the 1950s, the studio began to actively develop animated films based on classic fairy tales and literary works. This period became a golden era for the studio. Many animated films created during this time have become cult classics and continue to be popular among audiences of different generations. You might know these cartoons: "Well, Just You Wait!", "Prostokvashino", "Winnie-the-Pooh", "Crocodile Gena and His Friends", and others.

By the way, this studio still exists today and continues to delight viewers with new animations!

⚡️ "Catch Me If You Can"

😳 Straight from Komi. For the second day, they are trying to catch a runaway Australian ostrich. The old bird has been found, but he is not easy to catch.

The escape from the farm happened yesterday. According to the owner, the bird is very frightened, though it's unclear why. Today, the runner was spotted in the forest, but he skillfully evades capture. Even tranquilizer darts didn’t help — the feathers are too dense.

🇷🇺🇹🇿 Russia and Tanzania are working to increase mutual tourist flow

🤝 The head of the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov, and the Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism of the United Republic of Tanzania, Pindi Chana, held a meeting during the official visit of the Russian delegation to Tanzania.

🏝 Tanzania has all the potential to become a more popular destination for Russian tourists. Currently, the tourism industry and tourists associate it only with the island of Zanzibar, which is just 1% of the country's territory. Russians may also be interested in other tourist routes in Tanzania: the highest peak in Africa – Mount Kilimanjaro, national parks and reserves, and the culture and art of the Maasai tribes.

“Tanzania has set a record for the number of foreign tourists. In 2024, the country welcomed more than 1.5 million guests. Zanzibar, the most well-known among Russian tourists, was essentially the only beach destination without COVID restrictions, which is why more than 80,000 tourists from Russia visited the island in 2021,” noted Pindi Chana.

📈 The Russian side, in turn, offered assistance in promoting Tanzanian tourism products in the Russian market, organizing business meetings with Russian tour operators, and presenting tourism potential at tourism forums in Russia.
