🇷🇺 Today, Russia celebrates the Day of National Unity!

🗓 This holiday was established in 2005 in honor of an event that took place in 1612, when the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders, bringing an end to the Time of Troubles.

🛡 The Day of National Unity serves as a reminder of an important historical event when various strata of society united to fight against an external threat. This event has become a symbol of the unity and solidarity of the Russian people.

👨‍👩‍👦 The holiday also emphasizes the multinational composition of Russia and the importance of interethnic harmony. It reminds us that the unity of the people is the foundation of the country's stability and prosperity.

🇷🇺 Not a car for everyone: A VAZ is up for sale in Tolyatti for 10 million rubles

🚘 Few can imagine that an old "five" could cost such a round sum. However, this is an unusual car — the VAZ-2105 was supposed to be exported to Lithuania, but due to the default in 1998, it never made it abroad and "parked" in the Samara region.

The car has only ten kilometers on the odometer, it does not have external mirrors or wipers, and even the doors, except for the driver's side, do not open. The car is not registered. So far, this "swallow" has not found its buyer.

Would you buy this unique car?

🇷🇺 Comrade Captain: An Eastern Imperial Eagle has settled on a Sakhalin fishing vessel.

With its powerful wings spread wide, the predator calmly navigates the expanses of the Sea of Okhotsk alongside the fishermen on the fishing boat.

On the vessel, the bird already feels at home, helping the local fishermen catch fish and often tasting the new catch.

🇺🇸 Surprisingly, the last U.S. president to visit Moscow on an official visit was Barack Obama. In 2009, he held talks at the Kremlin with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, resulting in a package of documents concerning missile defense and further reductions in strategic offensive arms.

Obama also laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, delivered a speech to graduates of the Russian Economic School, and held talks with Vladimir Putin over a "Russian-style" breakfast—complete with a samovar and accompanied by a folk music orchestra.

George W. Bush visited Russia three times— in May 2002, he signed the Declaration on New Strategic Relations between the Russian Federation and the United States with President Vladimir Putin; in 2003, he visited St. Petersburg for the 300th anniversary of the city; and in 2005, he attended the Victory Parade in Moscow.

The last two U.S. presidents, Donald Trump and Joseph Biden, have also been to Russia, but not as part of an official presidential visit. Trump visited Moscow in the late 20th century as a businessman, while Joe Biden went relatively recently, in 2011, as Vice President of the United States.

"The results of the elections in the USA do not have any fundamental significance for Russia," said Valentina Matviyenko, Speaker of the Federation Council.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 According to her, regardless of the election results, the US policy towards Russia will remain the same. At least because everything cannot change suddenly and all at once. Moreover, at this moment, there are no grounds to suggest a scenario of a sharp change in Washington's rhetoric.

✔️ Nevertheless, Russia is still set on cooperation with the USA. Therefore, it remains open to dialogue, Matviyenko concluded.

Earlier, reports were made about the results of the elections in the USA. Republican candidate Donald Trump is achieving a confident victory and has already declared himself the 47th President of the United States of America.
