🏞 Leningrad Maldives - Lake Dontso

Hidden deep within the Leningrad region, on the border of the Volosovsky and Gatchinsky districts, Lake Dontso earned the nickname "Leningrad Maldives" thanks to its vibrant turquoise water color and picturesque shores.

🌊 The lake formed on the site of the old Kyurlevsky quarry, where gaize – a special limestone rock – was once mined. Over time, the quarry filled with spring water, creating a unique natural landscape.

🛡 Since 1996, this area has been recognized as a regionally significant natural monument.

🗼 A lighthouse without water — Russia has that too!

The Four Hillock Lighthouse (Chetyryokhbugorny Mayak) is located in the village of Vyshka, Astrakhan Oblast.

🌊 It’s unique because it stands far from water — now a full 30 km from the Caspian Sea.

Back in the 18th century, water lapped here, but the level of the Caspian Sea has been gradually dropping.

📉 It’s now 27 meters below global sea level and continues to drop by 7 cm per year.

By the way, the lighthouse is open to visitors and is unguarded 😉

‼️ There is nothing resembling Kyiv's denoscription in the results of the drone attack on Russian military airfields. This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

According to him, "it is necessary to follow the data and information disseminated through the channels of the Ministry of Defence."

Responding to a question about the possible impact of Kyiv's attack on Russia's strategic balance, the diplomat stated that "the equipment in question, as also stated by representatives of the Ministry of Defence, was not destroyed, but damaged. It will be restored."

📌 Earlier, the Russian Defence Ministry stated that Kyiv carried out an attack using unmanned aerial vehicles on June 1st against airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions. While the attacks in the Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions were repelled, several aircraft units caught fire as a result of the terrorist attacks in the Murmansk and Irkutsk regions, but were quickly extinguished. The Defence Ministry added that there were no casualties among military personnel or civilian staff.

Ryabkov also noted that before the conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening, Moscow had raised the issue with the American side about the lack of reaction to the incident.
