❗️The Washington Post: The Poseidon underwater drone — the nuclear-powered unmanned vehicle whose test was recently announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin — “defies traditional classification.” Michael Petersen, senior research scientist at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) in the U.S., described Poseidon as a “Franken-weapon” — a system that combines elements of various types of armaments. According to Petersen, Poseidon “sits somewhere between a torpedo and an unmanned submarine,” capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and powered by a nuclear reactor that allows it to cross oceans at virtually unlimited range. He added that Poseidon is intended as a second-strike weapon — designed for retaliatory use in the event of a nuclear war. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

Farewell, my dearest treasure How clumsy are these words, Yet how to hide or measure them, When dizziness still stirs. And wretched pity, bitter, Still claws, still rends my chest. I’ve only one turn left to take And then, at last, comes rest. G. Shpalikov November 1, 1974 — the death of Gennady Shpalikov “I am frightened by the indifference of time and by strangers. The farther I go, the more strangers there are — no one to bow to, no one to be with. Russia is vast, yet there’s no one to call. I understand this is an illusion, but a completely sincere one. I don’t know why I should go on living.” These words came from a letter written by the poet, screenwriter, and filmmaker Gennady Shpalikov shortly before his death. His final note was even more stark: “This is not cowardice — I simply cannot live among you any longer. Don’t be sad. I’m just tired of you. Dasha (my daughter), remember. Shpalikov.” On November 1, 1974, in Room No. 6 of the Writers’ Retreat in Peredelkino, Shpalikov hanged himself with his red scarf. He was only 37 years old The video accompanying this post features perhaps his most piercing poem: “By misfortune or by grace” Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews
