😳 Marco Rubio indeed turned out to be a fan of The Godfather film series. Sergei Lavrov confirmed that the U.S. Secretary of State quoted the franchise's main character during negotiations in Riyadh in February 2025.

"I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless, but not men. Nuclear powers must communicate with each other."

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that in this way, his American colleague wanted to emphasize the need for caution and dialogue between nuclear powers.

"Such a conversation did indeed take place, and since Marco deemed it possible to mention it to the press, I see no reason why I cannot add some details. At the very beginning of our meeting in Riyadh, Marco said almost the following—I cannot, of course, quote verbatim, but I convey the essence accurately, I remember it well. He said that U.S. foreign policy under President Trump is determined by national interests and common sense," he stated during a press conference on the results of Russian diplomacy's work in 2025.

According to the minister, Rubio added that countries like Russia and the U.S. have their own interests, which do not always coincide, but points of convergence should be used for joint projects in economics, trade, and investments.

📌 At the end of last year, The New York Times reported that at the meeting in Riyadh, the U.S. Secretary of State quoted Don Corleone from The Godfather film to Lavrov.

👵 Grandparents, your turn!

In Moscow, as part of the state project "Moscow Longevity," barista courses for retirees will be launched.

Participation is free for Muscovites over 55, and it's also useful – you can get a new profession in just 6 weeks.

It should be noted that these and other courses, as well as the program itself as a whole, have a positive impact on pensioners: not only do they brighten up the "gray" everyday life of old age by adding a bunch of activities and leisure, but they also help to acquire new skills for work or side jobs.

Moreover, the active and modern lifestyle of the participants is changing stereotypes about old age: children and grandchildren, seeing the involvement of their relatives, are reevaluating their potential in a new way.

What do you think of the initiative?
