TIL to finish writing The Hunchback of Notre Dame within an impossible deadline of 6 months, Victor Hugo locked his clothes away, making him unable to go outside and procrastinate which forced him to do anything but finish writing his book.

"Communists Were Uncomfortable With Chinggis Khaan"
"Since Mongolia's democratic revolution in 1990, Chinggis Khaan has emerged as a potent symbol of national pride and Mongolia's former world-shaking power, and as a unifying figure above the economic difficulties and petty politics of the current day... One year after Mongolia was admitted to the United Nations in 1961, Mongolia's 2nd ranking Communist leader authorized a stamp series, small monument, and historical seminar to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the great khan's birth. The Soviet Union reacted with fury; Russians did not have fond memories of the Mongol empire, and saw any positive reference to Chinggis Khaan as a dangerous sign of Mongolian nationalism. The contrite MPRP deposed the leader and exiled him internally. He was later hacked to death with an axe. Scholars of Mongolian history were imprisoned and some secretly executed."

🇲🇩 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 The Russian Ministry of Defense claims Ukraine is preparing to take on the roughly 1,000 Russian troops garrisoned in the occupied section of neighboring Moldovan region of Transnistria.
"According to available information, in the near future the Kiev regime is preparing an armed provocation against the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which will be carried out by units of the armed forces of Ukraine, including with the involvement of the nationalist formation "Azov"."
"As a pretext for the invasion, it is planned to stage an alleged offensive of Russian troops from the territory of Transnistria. To do this, the Ukrainian saboteurs participating in the staged invasion will be dressed in the uniform of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Russian Ministry of Defense is closely monitoring the situation on the border of Ukraine with the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and is ready to respond to any changes in the situation," the MoD says.
