🌏🇷🇺❄️🌺 Ice flowers "bloomed" in Yakutia, Siberia

🤩 This is a very rare phenomenon, which occurs due to the temperature difference between air and water. There should be no wind at all. If you look at it from a physical point of view, an oversaturated layer of moisture is simply formed on the surface, which comes into contact with cold air, cools sharply and condenses.

🤍 Actually, there are very few "passive" Cinderella-like heroines in Russian folk tales. At the same time, the Russian passive heroine although she does not wield a sword has a different kind of strength not measured by her actions, but by her essence. Her power lies in her innate goodness, patience and connection to the natural and magical world. She does not fight her destiny; she endures it and magical forces willingly come to her aid. Her passivity is a virtue, not a weakness.💛

What are the main "rules" for passive heroines in Russian folk tales?

1️⃣ The Rule of Kindness. Her most important action is a small, selfless act of kindness—often toward an animal or a seemingly helpless old person (who is usually a magical being in disguise). This single act is to be rewarded later.
2️⃣ The Rule of Patience: She must endure suffering without complaint. Whether she is mocked, enslaved or threatened, she never rebels openly. This patience proves her moral purity.
3️⃣ The Rule of Obedience: She follows instructions perfectly. When a magical helper (like a doll or a cow) gives her a task, she does it exactly as told. This obedience aligns her with the "correct" path of fate.
4️⃣ The Rule of Passive Victory: She doesn't slay the dragon or outwit the witch herself. Instead, her inherent goodness attracts helpers who do the hard work for her. Her victory is achieved through her, not by her.🤍

She speaks in tones of falling dew,
A gentle heart, a spirit true.
Her footsteps make no sound at all,
A quiet answer to a call.
A sparrow in a world so loud,
A humble head, not meekly cowed.
But like a rosebud, closed and deep,
Her tender promises she'll keep.
