🕰️ 112 years ago today, on June 28, 1914, the shots that changed the world rang out in Sarajevo.
🔫 Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian student and supporter of Bosnia’s liberation from Austro-Hungarian rule.
🥪 Ferdinand’s car came to a stop in front of a shop where Princip was buying a sandwich. Seizing the unexpected opportunity, he drew his pistol and fired two shots. The first bullet struck Duchess Sophie in the abdomen, while the second hit Franz Ferdinand in the neck. Both died within minutes.
⚖️ Princip was arrested immediately. At 19 years old, he could not be sentenced to death under Austro-Hungarian law, as he was still legally considered a minor.
⛓️ He received the maximum possible sentence — 20 years in prison — but died on April 28, 1918, before completing it.
🌍 Princip almost certainly learned that his actions had ignited World War I. But he never lived to see its end in November 1918, after it had claimed millions of lives.

⛵ The main symbol of the Scarlet Sails celebration has taken to the Neva. The brig Rossiya sailed past this year’s graduates beneath spectacular fireworks.
🎆 The highlight of the celebration saw the legendary brig Rossiya, with its scarlet sails unfurled, glide along the Neva River. Its journey was accompanied by a dazzling light and pyrotechnic show, culminating in a festive fireworks display over the river.
🔥 A new centerpiece of this year’s water show was a giant Firebird, inspired by Russian folk tales. Appearing on the water, it added a touch of real magic to the night skyline of St. Petersburg.
🎤 After the brig’s passage, graduates returned to the concert on Palace Square, featuring performances by Yolka, Tatyana Kurtukova, Lyusya Chebotina, and other artists.
