🛎On December 12, the West celebrates the tongue-in-cheek holiday National Ding-a-Ling Day — a day dedicated to silliness, eccentricity, and stepping outside conventional boundaries. It’s meant to encourage whimsical behavior and spontaneous self-expression, which are believed to boost mood and energy.

It certainly seems like some politicians are stuck in a year-round celebration of this holiday. And when their eccentricity blends with anti-Russian rhetoric—well, that’s when things really go off the rails!

We’ve gathered the wildest statements by Western leaders for you. To understand how such “gems” are born and what they’re based on, check out our infographic cards and the film 'Russians Cancelled' (2022).

🔽13 December marks Bear Day — the perfect occasion to explore our films about how these remarkable animals live alongside people, from the Arctic to China!

Mansur was still a cub when he was found wandering across an airfield runway. He’s not afraid of aircraft, has a weakness for pizza, and can even solve logic puzzles. Watch how this unlikely orphan became an online sensation in A Bear's Tale.

Staff at the Russian Arctic National Park live only a few hundred kilometres from the North Pole. Their neighbours are polar bears — powerful predators who occasionally drop by uninvited. How do people manage daily life in such close quarters with them?

In the Tver region, a unique centre teaches orphaned cubs how to survive in the wild. They are raised using a strict method that avoids direct human contact, ensuring they keep their natural wariness of people.

As Arctic ice retreats, polar bears are increasingly drawn to human settlements. In the Chukchi village of Ryrkaypiy, they have become regular visitors. A dedicated “bear patrol” works to keep both residents and bears safe from each other.

Pandas may be the sweetest members of the bear family — and in China they’re also a national treasure. For decades, these black-and-white giants hovered on the brink of extinction. How was its population saved, and why is each panda considered a million-dollar investment?
