This medical centre in Donetsk cares for premature babies. Some weigh as little as 500 grams. Without special equipment they have almost no chance of survival. That is why the first thing the medics do in case of shelling is to take the equipment out. And the women in labour are lowered underground into shelters.
Watch an episode of Alexandra Frank’s documentary series ‘Faces of Donbass’. In it, one of the Donetsk medics, Dmitriy Mironenko, shows the basements where women give birth when Ukraine starts shelling the city.

A few months of torture, almost no food, no water, in conditions of horrible filth and stench. Serb Vinko Lale recalls the Bosnian captivity he endured 30 years ago. He was liberated in late 1992. By then, he weighed only 46 kilograms.
Vinko was captured when the national conflict between Bosnians and Serbs broke out in Sarajevo. The Bosnians declared jihad (holy war). They cut off the heads of their former Serb neighbours, raped women, burned their houses. Vinko did not manage to escape as the roads were already blocked. He was captured and thrown into a former grain silo. About 700 other Serb prisoners were imprisoned there with him. The man's story is in our video and documentary ‘Bosnia: Victims of Jihad’.

🐶 Inflation forces Americans to give pets to shelters
Due to high inflation, many Americans can no longer afford to provide for their pets – they do not have enough money, the Washington Post reports. Owners are forced to part with their animals and give them to shelters.
The situation is the same in Britain as well. With the cost of energy and food soaring, millions of people across Britain have given away their pets. In terms of the cost-of-living crisis, people hardly make ends meet to feed families, not to mention pets.
Watch a humorous video by our colleagues about Christmas in 2023. It blew up the net and triggered lots of emotions among users. Will their predictions come true…?

🪖For war correspondents the front line is a second home, where they see the fighters more often than their own families. They also sleep in trenches, come under bombardment and risk their lives. But journalists as well as soldiers know well what they do it for. ‘Thanks to us… at least in some part of the world, people know how things really are,’ says Evgeny Poddubny, one of the subjects of our documentary. Evgeny has much experience in reporting war zones. He worked in Libya, Syria, South Ossetia and now is performing in Donbass, too.
To learn more about the work of Evgeny and other war correspondents - Pavel Kukushkin, Murad Gazdiev, Georgy Medvedev - see our video and the film War Correspondents.

Nico, a subject of our documentary Men of Salt, considers himself an artist. He makes sculptures out of salt: off-road vehicles, birds, animals. Other locals also have a passion for this kind of work. For example, they build entire houses out of salt. What do you think of such art?

🎁Giving gifts in China is a whole art. For example, a business gift is necessarily presented in a gift box, which will not be opened in front of you. This is done specifically so that the giver doesn't see the recipient's facial expression in the event the latter doesn't like it.
When receiving a gift, there is also a special rule: first you need to refuse the presented gift, and only then accept it, and always with two hands. By the way, do you know what the Chinese will never present each other? The answer is in our video.
Are you interested? Then watch a whole documentary on this cultural curiosity.

🧖♂️Visiting the banya is an integral part of Russians’ New Year holidays. The experience consists of sitting in a closed room with the temperature around 60-90 degrees Celsius, receiving a beating on the back with birch branches and then submerging into icy water, and then starting from the very beginning. It may shock some, but Russians really enjoy the extreme pastime, some even believe that the banya helps them to become cleansed physically and spiritually.
Take a look at a traditional visiting of banya in our video and the film Suffering for soup: The secret of authentic ‘ukha’– an episode of Taste of Russia series.

‘Suddenly I heard they had commenced bombarding of the airport. Of course, I was so frightened! So much! I dropped the hose, I dropped it all! I ran for my life. Didn’t think about anything’.
In 2014, hegumene Michaela (Shevchenko) and a monastery worker Yulia suddenly found themselves in the centre of the battles for Donetsk airport. The militias were engaged in a fight with Ukrainian forces, which had seized control of the facility. Listen to the subjects of the film Portaitissa of Donetsk, who talk about their lives under shelling in our clip.
Though the inhabitants had to live through the worst hardships, they say it was the happiest time of their lives. What do they mean? On World Day of Prayer for Peace, marked by some countries on January 1, watch the documentary and find out.

The daily menu of a six-year-old child looks like this: two kilograms of millet with two mugs of butter, and also liters of fat camel milk. If the child refuses to eat, her legs are clamped between two sticks and twisted. It is considered ideal when a 12-year-old girl begins to weigh 80 kg. She looks much older at the same time.
There is a cult of fat ladies in Mauritania, where there is a saying that a woman occupies exactly as much space in her husband's heart as she weighs. These photos show the beauty standards of this African country. See more in our documentary Fed to Wed (2015).
