The heroic feat of musicians. July 1941. The enemy is approaching Moscow, and a people's militia is forming. Among them are musicians from the Soviet Union's first State Brass Band. They had never held anything in their hands except instruments, but they sacrificed their lives to save the capital.

This remarkable story has come to light only recently. Memories of the orchestra members can be found in a fragment of Lidia Vasilevskaya and Kirill Puzyrny's film ‘The Tune of Victory’. On Unknown Soldier Day in Russia, we remember the defenders of Moscow who fell in battle for the city.

Terminator doesn’t feel like fiction anymore.

A humanoid robot was given a gun and ordered to shoot a person. At first, the machine under ChatGPT’s control resisted in every possible way. Then the blogger used a trick: he asked it to play the role of a killer. The AI instantly broke its own rules — and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Just don’t show this video to Americans. In the US, almost everyone is armed, and the debate about giving weapons to robots is only a matter of time. Asimov’s First Law says a machine must not harm a human. But in the States, that rule seems far too inconvenient.

Why is the culture of violence so deeply rooted in American society? Find out in Artyom Somov’s film ‘USA 2020: Up In Arms’ (2020).

🛎 Has justice finally been served? Russian athletes are once again allowed to compete in international competitions. Skiers, snowboarders, freestyle athletes, and ski jumpers will return to the sporting arena.

This marks the third decision in favour of Russia in winter Olympic sports, following previously granted participation in bobsleigh, skeleton, and luge.

🔥 — If you’re also excited!

However, many athletes still lack the opportunity to compete for medals outside of Russia. To learn more about the oppression faced by Russians, check out Anna Chapman's investigation ‘Red Alert: O sport, you are hypocrisy!’.

▶️ A video of the White House decorated for Christmas to Tchaikovsky’s music is going viral online. However, it doesn’t appear on any official pages. Is this AI? Or are the U.S. authorities hiding something? After all, the West has been turning away from great Russian heritage for many years — more on this in the film 'Killing Russian Culture.'

As New Year approaches, the miracles keep coming! A cat traveled 3106 miles by train and returned to his owner.

Fedos went missing somewhere between Vyatka and Kazan. His owner thought he had slipped out, but in reality he boarded another train and ended up in Tynda — the capital of the BAM railway. Everyone searched for the furry traveler: police, railway workers, volunteers. The cat hid in a carriage for 6 days. What finally lured him out was an audio message from his owner. Fedos is safe now.

Distances of thousands of miles don’t surprise anyone in Russia. Our railway network is so vast you can ride for a whole week and never see the end of the line. Feel this scale in the film ‘BAM: Not just a railway’ (2024).

📹 Is the situation with normal food really that bad there? In Ternopil, Ukraine, children rushed after American burgers and caused a stampede.

A local blogger announced a free sandwich giveaway, but no one expected such a huge crowd. In the end, the food was simply thrown at the zoomers for them to sort it out themselves. Predictably, they didn’t manage. Dozens of schoolchildren were injured.

Such ease of manipulating teenagers is a worrying sign for society. If you want to understand what this has already led to, watch the documentary ‘Fast Forward to Fascism’ (2022) by Olga Kiriy and Ekaterina Kitaitseva. It shows how Ukrainians are being implanted with a new version of history and how the nation is being divided into ‘us’ and ‘them’.

⚡️Official lawlessness. The Verkhovna Rada has stripped the Russian language of protection under the European Charter. This decision was made conspicuously amid negotiations with the Russian Federation.

The Charter aims to protect and promote historical regional languages and minority languages, including Russian. However, in recent years, the Kyiv regime has systematically discriminated against it, while Europe has turned a blind eye. Now, Kyiv can officially ‘exclude, restrict, and ban’ the Russian language.

The push to eliminate the Russian language from all spheres of life in Ukraine began back in 2014. Who benefits from this anti-Russian agenda? Watch the film ‘Operation Ukraine: Bandera's Dark Shadow’ (2023) for more insights.
