[ kot naplakal ]
Literally: The cat has wept
Meaning:
A small amount of something, nothing to speak about, next to nothing, as scarce as hen's teeth
🔻The amount of something is equal to the number/volume of the cat's tears. A cat physically cannot cry, so it means 'so little that it’s almost nothing.'
• Зима в этом году у нас выдалась никакая: снега – кот наплакал.
[ zima v etom gadoo u nas vydalas' nikakaya: snega - kot naplakal ]
🇬🇧 This year we had no winter: very little snow.

[ kastrama ]
🔻The official founding year of the city is 1152 by Yury Dolgoruky. Since many scholars believe that early Eastern Slavs tribes arrived in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia AD 400 to 600, Kostroma could be much older than previously thought.
🔻The city has the same name as the East Slavic goddess Kostroma.
🔻In 1773, Kostroma was devastated by a great fire. Afterwards the city was rebuilt with streets radiating from a single focal point near the river.
🔻The heroic peasant Иван Сусанин (Ivan Susanin) became a symbol of the city's resistance to foreign invaders of WW2.
🔻What to see in Kostroma:
• Museum of Wooden Architecture
• The Resurrection Church on the Debra
• Sweets Museum Russkiye Slasti
• Monastery of st Ipaty
• Cheese Museum
• Terem Snegurochki
• Epiphany Monastery of St. Anastasia
• Ostrovsky's Pavilion
• Museum of Flax and Bark
