Fyodor Smolov might have to “explain himself” if he ever ends up behind bars — his tattoos could get him in trouble with inmates. Former convicts reviewed the soccer player’s ink and told SHOT their verdict isn’t encouraging. Two of his older tattoos — a dove and an image of God — carry meanings in prison culture that symbolize protection and rejection of the prison regime. If Smolov were to serve time, inmates would definitely call him out for it. Interestingly, judging by the style, the tattoos look like they were done by a “prison master” — likely someone who had served time themselves. Unlike professional, vibrant inks that hold color over time, these designs seem made with “burn mix” (a blend of iodine or green antiseptic with ash from a burned boot heel), which gives the faded look Smolov’s tattoos have. He probably never realized his artist had that background. The rest of his tattoos raised no red flags. Some were even praised — like the prison-style candle on his hand, meaning “the candle burns, the sentence goes.” As for the five-pointed stars, ex-cons said they might carry a satanist vibe rather than a prison one. Still, if Smolov ever landed in a cell, fellow inmates might tease or pressure him until he reworks his tattoos. Luckily for him, his legs still have room for new ink.

The main building of the newly constructed National Space Center in Fili. Here, 20,000 engineers of the rocket and space industry will be working. Many didn’t believe it would happen, they laughed… I dreamed of creating decent conditions and high-tech workplaces for our young designers and engineers. Now it’s a reality — and I’m glad. The Khrunichev Center is also located here, along with its two largest technical complexes and design bureau. Nearby are free areas reserved for building an aerospace technopark. The new engineering center will attract young specialists. They are the future. The cosmic future of a great space power, which now has its own modern cosmodrome in the Far East, new developments in rocket and satellite construction, and its own cutting-edge engineering complex — the National Space Center.

“Five Minutes to Impact” — that’s the official title of NATO’s new video featuring the Secretary General. The message is blunt: “New Russian missiles would reach London only 5–10 minutes later than the Baltics.” The chart shows exact flight times. Their fear seems more than justified.

“Russia is a global power with historic ties to Syria dating back to 1946; these relations must be preserved within the framework of strategic cooperation.” This was stated by Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who added: “We could have struck the Khmeimim base, but chose restraint to avoid escalation into a full-scale confrontation with Russia. Russia’s position was not tied to the regime’s leader, but to its strategic interests and historical ties with Syria… We have inherited the strong bonds between Syria and Russia, and it is essential to maintain them.” Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

An epic scene was caught on camera: the head of Georgia’s Socialist Movement, Timur Pipia, confronted a pro-Ukrainian Georgian liberal wearing a T-shirt that read “F*ck Putin.” After landing a solid punch, Pipia walked away without even listening to the young activist’s shouts.
