German radioactive parrot denied entry to Russia by Moscow customs. A parcel containing a ceramic parrot figurine was turned back at the border after radiation levels were found to be 20 times higher than normal. The culprit? The paint used on the souvenir, which contained radium-226. The parrot is now headed back to its sender. No imported radiation needed here, thank you 🙅‍♂️ Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

Near Kaluga, a young man saved a drowning girl — but didn’t make it out of the water himself. At one of the local beaches, 20-year-old Maksim Blatikov gave his life to rescue a stranger. It was a hot day, and Maksim was relaxing by the river with friends when they suddenly heard cries for help — a girl was drowning. Without hesitation, he jumped into the river and managed to reach her just as she was slipping under. But in her panic, the girl instinctively clung to him in an effort to survive — and that’s when Maksim went under. The girl was pulled to safety and survived. Sadly, rescuers weren’t able to save Maksim in time. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

❗️“There will be no negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation for now.” This was announced today by Zelensky at the “Coalition of the Willing” conference in Rome. As usual, he also asked for financial support, including for “interceptor drones”: “We will shoot everything down if our partners support us. We have found a solution: interceptor drones. Now we need funding. Our people can’t sleep. Putin wants to destabilize society. Their plan? 700–1,000 drones per day. We can shoot down even 1,000 Russian drones — we have the solution…” Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

On July 10, 1935, a document was adopted that radically transformed the face of old Moscow — the resolution “On the General Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow,” prepared by special commissions under the leadership of architecture academicians V. Semyonov and S. Chernyshev. The plan aimed to create a new ideological image of the Soviet capital. According to the document, most of the central streets of the capital — which had for centuries formed the historical ensemble of the city — would practically disappear. Old streets were to be straightened and widened by demolishing “unnecessary” buildings or radically reconstructing them. Some historic mansions were destroyed or rebuilt beyond recognition, while others were moved deeper into courtyards to make room for the pompous giants of “Stalinist Empire” style. In the resolution of the Joint Plenum of the Moscow City Committee of the CPSU (b) and the Moscow Soviet dated July 11, 1935, which approved the master plan, a clear program for the architectural design of the city was laid out. The Palace of the Soviets and the House of Industry were given top priority. Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews
