💰 The Striped Thief

🐅 An unusual incident involving a rare predator was recorded in the Primorsky Krai national park "Land of the Leopard". As reported by the park's press service, an Amur tiger turned into a "little thief", stealing one of the camera traps set up by scientists to monitor wildlife.

📸 The irony of the situation is that the big cat's actions didn't go unnoticed. The entire "crime" process was caught on video by another camera trap standing nearby. The incident actually happened last winter.

🧐 But specialists at the national park didn't learn about the striped giant's mischief right away. The identity of the "thief" was only established recently, during a routine review of accumulated footage from the forest cameras.

📚✨ Russian Language Day and Pushkin Day – a celebration of words and genius!

On June 6th, the world celebrates Russian Language Day and the birthday of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin – the great poet who became the foundation of modern Russian literature and language. It was precisely in honor of Pushkin that this date was chosen for Russian Language Day.

Did you know that Pushkin created over 800 works, including poems, long poems, dramas, and prose?

His work laid the foundation for the Russian literary language, and many of his expressions became proverbial phrases that we still use today.

🧐 Here are some interesting facts about Pushkin:

🟣 He was born in Moscow in 1799, but his paternal ancestors belonged to an ancient noble family, while on his mother's side, he had African roots!

🟣 Pushkin was a true innovator: it was he who introduced many words and expressions into the Russian language, making speech lively and expressive.

🟣 His duel with Georges d'Anthès became the tragic end of the poet's life, but even in his final moments, he remained true to his words:

"I loved you: even now, perchance,
My love has not quite died away..."
Alexander Sergeyevich dedicated these lines to his beloved.

🇷🇺 Russian Language Day is an opportunity to remember the beauty and power of our language, its richness and depth. As Pushkin wrote:

"Inspiration is needed in poetry,
But craft too can conquer all."

🇺🇳 The idea of dedicating a separate day to the Russian language arose as part of international initiatives to support and develop multilingualism and cultural diversity. In 2010, the UN General Assembly officially declared June 6th International Russian Language Day, including it in the list of official languages of the United Nations.

Today, Russian Language Day is not only a tribute to the great poet but also an opportunity to draw attention to the importance of preserving and developing the Russian language in the modern world, its influence on science, art, and international communication.

⚡️ Volodin Accuses German Chancellor of Distorting History and Supporting Terrorism

Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Vyacheslav Volodin, sent an official appeal to the President of the German Bundestag and leaders of five parliamentary factions, condemning recent statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Volodin’s appeal responded to Merz’s remarks, in which he claimed that the United States liberated Germany from Nazism without mentioning the USSR. Additionally, Merz publicly supported Ukraine’s actions, asserting that strikes by the Kyiv regime on Russian territory target "exclusively military facilities."

In his address to German lawmakers, Volodin urged the German Chancellor to visit the Bundestag to "fill gaps in his memory":

"The Chancellor of Germany must be invited to the Bundestag so he can fill the gaps in his memory and see the innoscriptions on the walls of the Reichstag firsthand — to witness in which language and by whom they were written.

Politicians may be forgiven for various mistakes, except one: desecrating the memory of those to whom we owe our lives today."

Volodin accused Germany’s ruling elite of creating preconditions for escalating Russia-Germany tensions, which could provoke direct confrontation:

"Whether the German people want this is a question. We do not want it. But if it happens — we are prepared."
