🇷🇺💬 The UNESCO Secretariat remains silent, playing along with Kyiv and the West while facilitating the undermining of cultural heritage. This was stated by Sergey Lavrov.

‼️ The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry called the organization's secretariat's silence "shameful" as monuments of Russian historical and cultural heritage were being systematically destroyed in Ukraine and the Baltic states, including those protected by UNESCO as cultural treasures.

📌 According to Lavrov, the members of the secretariat "did not notice" the dismantling of the monument to Catherine the Great and Potemkin in the historical part of Odessa, as well as the monument to Pushkin. The actions of the Latvian authorities, who removed the monument to Barclay de Tolly, the memorial plaque to Pushkin, and the bust of Anna Kern, were also ignored.

🇷🇺✍️ On January 29, we celebrate the 165th anniversary of the birth of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, a renowned Russian writer and playwright.

🌏 Chekhov's works have been translated into over 100 languages. Despite the fact that the path of the Russian writer to foreign readers was long and arduous, he has now firmly established himself in world literature, earning a reputation as a classic both in his homeland and abroad.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Chekhov's name first appeared in English literature in 1889; however, translations of his works were published quite rarely.

The situation was changed by R.E. K. Long, who compiled and translated the first collections of Chekhov's short stories, published in 1903 and 1908. After that, interest from the English-speaking audience in Chekhov significantly increased.
