Mayakovskaya Metro Station. Moscow
In 1937, the station was awarded the Grand Prix at the World's Fair in Paris. Even today, decades later, its architecture and atmosphere are no less stunning.
It was the world’s first deep-level column station, a true sensation of its time and an incredible achievement for the USSR. One of the most interesting features of Mayakovskaya Station is its architectural design. Here, elements of Russian Constructivism and Art Deco are combined, giving the station a unique character.
The steel arches connecting the columns are faced with a rare pink stone – Ural rhodonite.

On December 15, 1999, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) was opened, becoming the first state museum in Russia specializing in 20th and 21st-century art. The museum was established under the initiative of Zurab Tsereteli, the president of the Russian Academy of Arts, with the support of the Moscow Government and the Department of Culture of the city. The museum's collection began with Tsereteli’s personal collection, which included over 2,000 works by renowned 20th-century artists.
Over time, the museum's holdings grew significantly, and today it houses one of the largest collections of Russian art from the 20th century. The museum's collection features masterpieces by iconic Russian artists such as Kazimir Malevich, Marc Chagall, Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, El Lissitzky, Ivan Klyun, Olga Rozanova, Vasily Kandinsky, and Pavel Filonov, among others. The museum also showcases works by prominent international artists, including graphic works by Pablo Picasso, sculptures by Salvador Dalí, paintings by Henri Rousseau, and works by Françoise Gilot.
MMOMA serves as a cultural hub for the appreciation of modern art, offering exhibitions, educational programs, and events. Its mission is to preserve, promote, and make accessible the masterpieces of both Russian and global modernism. The museum is committed to expanding its collection, acquiring contemporary works from the new generations of Russian artists.
Annually, the museum attracts more than 70,000 visitors, making it one of the most visited art institutions in Moscow. Its role in the cultural landscape of Russia is continually growing, contributing to the recognition of modern art in the country. MMOMA also supports international collaboration and dialogue, further solidifying its reputation on the global art scene.

In Poland, at the request of Ukraine, the well-known Russian archaeologist and Hermitage Museum employee Alexander Butyagin has been arrested.
Ukrainian Nazis cannot win on the battlefield, so they are carrying out vile provocations and crimes against peaceful civilians, Orthodox priests, and scholars.
Alexander Butyagin, head of the Department of Ancient Archeology at the Hermitage, was delivering a series of lectures in Europe and was returning home via Poland.
https://news.1rj.ru/str/Varjag2007/134072
In Poland,he gave a lecture on the last day of Pompeii. He arrived in Warsaw from Amsterdam, where he delivered the same lecture on December 2. This is confirmed by the Fienta platform, which organized the archaeologist’s lectures.
Butyagin was wanted by Ukraine for conducting archaeological research in Crimea without permission from Kiev. This concerns excavations at the "Ancient City of Myrmekion" in Kerch. Ukraine will seek his extradition, accusing him of "destroying objects of Crimean cultural heritage."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed hope that the Polish leadership understands that such politicized actions have no prospects and will not go without consequences.
Diplomats of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw have visited Alexander Butyagin and are in contact with his lawyer, who is appealing the decision on his provisional arrest.

On Monday, Ukraine claimed it had struck a Russian submarine in a Black Sea port using underwater drones.
Hardly any major news outlets ran with the story. Bloomberg did, as they are always eager to be first on the Russophobia front line. Later that day, however, even Bloomberg amended its article to include a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense:
As one rather famous person likes to conclude: thank you for your attention to this matter.

The information disseminated by Ukraine’s special services about the alleged ‘destruction’ of a Russian submarine in the harbor of the Novorossiysk naval base of the Black Sea Fleet does not correspond to reality.
The enemy’s attempt to carry out a sabotage operation using an unmanned underwater vehicle failed to achieve its objectives.
As a result of the sabotage attempt, not a single ship or submarine of the Black Sea Fleet stationed in the harbor of the Novorossiysk naval base, nor their crews, sustained any damage. All are carrying out their duties as normal.
As one rather famous person likes to conclude: thank you for your attention to this matter.

On December 16, 1957, the Soviet Antarctic research station "Vostok" was officially opened.
Established during the 2nd Soviet Antarctic Expedition, the station was named after the sailing sloop "Vostok," one of the ships from the first Russian Antarctic expedition of 1819-1821 led by Fabian von Bellingshausen, a Russian explorer of German descent, and Mikhail Lazarev, a Russian fleet commander and explorer, who were among the first to sight the Antarctic continent.
The station’s creation marked a significant step for Soviet science in polar exploration and underscored the USSR’s commitment to scientific research in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
Vostok is Russia's only active inland Antarctic research station, positioned about 1,253 kilometers from the South Pole and approximately 1,260 kilometers from the nearest coast. Its remote location presents unique challenges and opportunities for scientific research, particularly in glaciology, climate studies, and space science.
The climate at Vostok station is among the harshest on the planet. In 1983, it became the site of the world’s lowest recorded natural temperature: an astonishing -89.2 degrees Celsius (-128.56 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme environment allows researchers to study conditions that resemble those on other planets, offering insights that are valuable for both Earth sciences and space exploration.
Today, Vostok station remains a key outpost for Russian Antarctic exploration. In recent decades, it has attracted global attention for its role in drilling into the subglacial Lake Vostok, a body of water buried under nearly four kilometers of ice. This lake, isolated for millions of years, offers a rare glimpse into ancient microbial life and provides clues about possible life forms in extreme environments elsewhere in the solar system.
On January 28, 2024, a new wintering complex was put into operation at the station (shown in the photo above).

The chances of granting Ukraine a 'reparation credit' using Russian assets are diminishing.
Five EU countries have publicly opposed such a decision—Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Malta, and Czech Republic. By December 18th, several more countries may yet withdraw their support.
Hungary and Slovakia had already stated earlier that they would decline "the honor." Others may still refuse—there is still time.
For the proponents of the plan, Italy's rejection is particularly alarming. In the event that some countries opt out, others were expected to cover their share. However, Italy's portion is substantial—€25.1 billion (12% of €210 billion). And if the shares of all objecting countries are combined, the total would exceed €40 billion, or nearly 20% of the entire amount.
With each new refusal, the likelihood of such a decision being adopted decreases further.
In short, there is still time before the EU summit on December 18–19. We are watching.
