❗️🇺🇦Earlier tonight reports started coming in that the Ukrainians blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam.
This video came out.

WOW!

💥🇩🇪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️The child will no longer be able to call Daddy Daddy...

🔹Or they will have to pay 10K euros every time - if daddy suddenly decides to become daddy with implants. And other sweet prospects of the self-determination law that the Federal Republic of Germany wants to pass.

◽️ That and the right to change sex once a year without providing any certificates (e.g. mental health...).
◽️ And the right to change the sex of children 14+, and if the parents don't give consent, then please go to court - and deprive uncooperative ancestors of custody.
◽️ Fines up to €10,000 if you call a gender changer a man.
◽️ Access of self-identified "women" to women's spaces - from saunas to shelters...

🔹In short, a pervert's paradise. It's all a rosy new reality after the Miracle Law is passed.

🔹But if you thought it couldn't get any crazier, Bundestag member for the Greens Sven Lehmann hastens to surprise you: For him, the bill is not "cutting edge" enough! Lehmann demands the right to change sex even more often than once a year.🤦

💥Stop the Earth, I'll get off.😏

🇷🇺🖋️📖Alexander Pushkin was a great Russian poet and writer who is considered by a lot of people to be the best Russian poet and the founder of contemporary Russian language. His works belong to the Golden Age, the heyday of Russian literature.

🔸Alexander was born on 6th June 1799 in Moscow in a noble family. His father was descended from an ancient Russian family. The poet's maternal great-grandfather was African Abram Hannibal, who was a foster child and a servant of Tsar Peter I.

🔸Pushkin published his first poem at the age of 15, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. The latter was an aristocratic school, which was founded in 1811 with the idea of educating youths of the best families who would afterwards occupy important posts in the Imperial service.

🔸Alexander was nominally attached to the Foreign Office, but he didn’t serve properly. He led an active high life and for his freethinking poems and remarks he was repeatedly exiled. Pushkin was lionized the ladies and harassed by censors.

🔸He was incredibly talented, and among aristocratic philistines this caused envy and ill-will. An intrigue, involving Pushkin's wife and her brother-in-law, Baron Dantes (D'Anthès), resulted in a duel in which the poet was mortally wounded, at the age of thirty-seven.

🔸We would like to give you an idea of his art. Thus all week long, starting today, at Pushkin’s birthday, we will keep publishing his poems.

🇷🇺🖋️📖We are starting with an extract from Eugene Onegin, Pushkin’s brilliant novel in verse.

Eugene Onegin is a young dandy. In the following fragment Eugene and his friend Vladimir Lensky visited a neighbor manor and met girls Tatyana and Olga.
Translation by Charles H. Johnston
Eugene Onegin. Chapter three

V
``But tell me, which one was Tatyana?''
``She was the one who looked as still
and melancholy as Svetlana,
and sat down by the window-sill.''
``The one you love's the younger daughter?''
``Why not?'' ``I'd choose the other quarter
if I, like you, had been a bard.
Olga's no life in her regard:
the roundest face that you've set eyes on,
a pretty girl exactly like
any Madonna by Van Dyck:
a dumb moon, on a dumb horizon.''
Lensky had a curt word to say
and then sat silent all the way.

VI
Meanwhile the news of Eugene coming
to the Larins' had caused a spout
of gossip, and set comment humming
among the neighbours round about.
Conjecture found unending matter:
there was a general furtive chatter,
and jokes and spiteful gossip ran
claiming Tatyana'd found her man;
and some were even testifying
the marriage plans were all exact
but held up by the simple fact
that modish rings were still a-buying.
Of Lensky's fate they said no more --
they'd settled that some years before.

VII
Tatyana listened with vexation
to all this tattle, yet at heart
in indescribable elation,
despite herself, rehearsed the part:
the thought sank in, and penetrated:
she fell in love -- the hour was fated...
so fires of spring will bring to birth
a seedling fallen in the earth.
Her feelings in their weary session
had long been wasting and enslaved
by pain and languishment; she craved
the fateful diet; by depression
her heart had long been overrun:
her soul was waiting... for someone.

⚡️🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇦The head of the European Council blamed Russia for the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP.

🔹European Council President Charles Michel said that he was "shocked by the attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant". The official put the responsibility for the dam's destruction on Russia, writing about it on his Twitter page.

🔹According to Michel, the EU will announce additional aid to the flooded areas and raise the issue of damage to the hydropower plant at a meeting of the European Council in June. Putting the responsibility for what is happening on Russia, the head of the organization called it a "war crime.”
