Mike Tyson — about those who should not be messed with.
🥊The journalists asked Mike Tyson, a boxing legend, a man who knows what a real fight is, for his opinion on a "hot" geopolitical issue.
His response was typically Tysonian—without diplomacy, on the edge, but impossibly honest:
"Do you want to fight the Russians? Good luck in hell! Seriously? Have you ever seen these people? They've been through things that we can't even imagine.
Stalingrad. Chechnya. Winters when they survive at -40.
These are not people who can be scared. I've been there, I've seen Russians. They are ready to do anything for their land.
What are you ready for? Don't make me laugh."
🥊This is not politics. This is a view from a world where the price of victory and defeat is measured not in ratings, but in blood and fortitude. When Iron Mike speaks, who knows everything about confrontation, it's worth listening.

Well done, professional drifters cry...
🔻The wife is a professional driver with nerves of steel, every man's dream.
🔻Am I the only one who has the feeling that she deliberately took an advantageous position with the help of drift, and then she will fire a couple of AK47 shots at a white SUV?)
🔻The husband of the Russian Mrs. Smith did not guess who she was for a long time...

A quiet winter evening in Russia
🔻A young guy returns home after work, the winter sun is setting. It turned out to be a good day with no incidents, no unexpectedly falling meteorites, no mutant bears, no tank columns suddenly crossing the road.
🔻Silence, the engine sounds soothing, he is discussing something with a friend on the phone. There is slow traffic on the winter road, polite and careful drivers...
🔻Nothing can distract a Russian driver from talking to a friend...
❤️May your Friday be just as serene!

Еven fear itself was afraid of this girl…
🔻Well, back in the 19th century, the Russian poet Nekrasov in his poem Мороз, красный нос (Frost, Red Nose) (1863) wrote about Russian women:
• Коня на скаку остановит, в горящую избу войдёт...
She will stop a galloping horse and enter a burning hut…
⚠️Do not attempt! Dangerous!

Russians don't smile without reason
🔻83% of Russians, according to the All-Russia Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM), consider themselves happy. However, there haven't been more smiles on the streets, and foreigners continue to perceive us as a gloomy and unfriendly nation. But we perfectly remember the proverb: Смех без причины - признак дурачины. (Laughter without reason is a sign of a fool).
🔻For a European person smiling upon meeting someone is a demonstration of politeness and goodwill towards the interlocutor. For Russians, however, "дежурная улыбка" ("a perfunctory smile") is not a desirable quality and is rather alarming. Russians rarely smile at strangers and are not always ready to reciprocate a smile.
🔻The uniqueness of the Russian smile lies in the fact that it must be sincere, have a valid reason understandable to those around, and be appropriate. Smiling for no reason is not accepted.
🔻Russians have their own smile, which in its mysteriousness is not inferior to the Mona Lisa's smile. Not strained, sincere, from the depths of our soul!

-73 degrees Celsius (С)? Not the limit for the Russian Vityaz!
❄️As Fyodor Biganov, an engineer-tester at the MK-Vityaz enterprise (part of Rostec's UVZ concern), recalls, during a winter expedition in Antarctica, the "outboard" temperature dropped to -73 degrees C:
The equipment held up. They added diesel fuel to the lubricant to prevent it from thickening too much in extreme cold. The main danger was that the rubber bands on the tracks would crack like glass. We had to warm up for a long time and move very carefully. We managed to deliver the cargo and return safely.
❄️The Vityaz two-link tractors were designed for such extreme conditions. They can navigate through swampy, snowy, and even sea environments. These all-terrain vehicles can withstand waves up to three points. They can even be used to unload ships.
