Meaning:
to go on a spree, to carouse, to paint the town red

is unclear, however, the modern dialect meaning of 'кружить', 'крутить' (circling, twisting (about the wind)) and the all-Russian 'пьянствовать' (to get drunk) are closely related.

▪️Сего́дня я бу́ду кути́ть!

Окро́шка
[ akróshka ]

🔻Okroshka is a cold soup of Russian origin, which probably originated in the Volga region.

🔻The classic soup is a mix of mostly raw vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes and spring onions), boiled potatoes, eggs, cooked meat such as beef, veal, sausages or ham and kvass, which is a low-alcoholic (1.5% or less).

🔻Okroshka is usually garnished with sour cream (smetana).

🔻Later versions that first appeared in Soviet times use light or diluted kefir, whey, ayran, or mineral water instead of kvass.

Have you ever tried or even cooked okroshka❓

One of the main events of Perestroika was the first beauty contest in the USSR, “Moscow Beauty 1988”.
🔻For the first time, an award was given not to a leading worker in industry, not to an excellent student, not to an activist, but simply to a beautiful girl.
🔻An ordinary Moscow schoolgirl named Masha was the winner of that contest, who lives in the USA nowadays.
🔻In the last photo there is the winner of "Miss Russia 2023": Margarita Golubeva, a student of two Russian universities. She's a real beauty! Красавица!

PS This post is for Andrew and others who appreciate the beauty of Russian women!
