Moscow is beautiful any time of year. But, it is especially nice in late May-early June. As well as all summer, if you are not afraid of the heat, but like to sit in the sun on a veranda with a cocktail! We also recommend the end of September, when the city gets its fall colors. And, of course, from the beginning of December to the end of January, when the whole of Moscow is covered in snow and decorated with New Year's illuminations (But, take note, the first week of January can be quite crowded as Russians are on their New Year's holidays).
If you are traveling to the Russian capital for the first time, here’s a few life hacks that will make your visit more comfortable and enjoyable.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions, (Minsk, May 24, 2024)
❓ Question: How would you comment on Mike Johnson’s statement about the use of US-supplied weapons to strike Russia?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: They said for a long time that they were not supporting it. They also said they did not allow it and advised [Ukraine] against using it. But in fact, they are waging war against us. American weapons have already been used to strike various targets outside the conflict zone.
Washington is trying to make reassuring statements for the local public or for NATO members, to pretend the decision has not yet been made. It is a trick. We are certain that American and other Western-supplied weapons are being used to strike targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure and residential areas. They are responsible for what these weapons have done.
❓ Question: What is your assessment of the current state of relations between Russia and Belarus within the Union State?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The Union State is the most advanced form of integration in the post-Soviet countries as well as in other regions.

Did Sartre turn down the Nobel Prize because of Sholokhov?
May 24 is the birthday of Mikhail Sholokhov, so we decided to share a curious fact about the author of ‘And Quiet Flows the Don’.
In 1964, French writer and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre refused the Nobel Prize for Literature. It was a rare and bold move and stirred a lot of interest in the press.
Explaining his rejection, Sartre gave several reasons. In particular, he condemned the jury of the prize for bias. He expressed regret that the previous prize was awarded not to Sholokhov, but to Boris Pasternak. The Frenchman complained that “the only Soviet work to receive the prize was a book published abroad and banned in its native country” (referring to ‘Dr. Zhivago’, for which Pasternak won the 1958 Nobel Prize).
It is believed that this statement influenced the Nobel Committee and, the following year, in 1965, the prize was awarded to Sholokhov with the wording: “For the artistic strength and integrity of the epic about the Don Cossacks at a crucial time for Russia.”

On May 24, the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture is celebrated annually in all Slavic countries. The origins of this holiday are inextricably linked with the honoring of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius - the enlighteners of the Slavs, the creators of the Slavic alphabet.

There are more than a million Buddhists in Russia and, in the Republic of Tuva, about 60% of the population practices this ancient religion.
Before the early 20th century, this territory was part of Mongolia, but then, it voluntarily joined Russia and then, the USSR. During the Soviet era, Tuvan Buddhists were persecuted, but, in the 1990s, the community was revived.
In 2023, the first Buddhist monastery since Soviet times was built in Tuva and it became the largest in Russia. Such a sacred relic as some of Buddha's ashes are kept there.
