Russian movie director Andrey Tarkovsky (1932-1986) was an influential figure who has left an indelible mark on world culture through his profound and visually poetic films.
Born in 1932 in the Soviet Union, Tarkovsky's unique cinematic vision has influenced countless filmmakers and continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. His approach to filmmaking transcended traditional narrative structures, favoring a more contemplative and metaphysical style that explores the human condition, spirituality, and the passage of time.
Tarkovsky's major works, including "Ivan's Childhood" (1962), "Andrei Rublev" (1966), "Solaris" (1972), "Mirror" (1975), "Stalker" (1979), and "Nostalgia" (1983), are celebrated for their hauntingly beautiful imagery and deep philosophical underpinnings. His films often feature long takes, minimal dialogue, and a deliberate pacing that encourages viewers to reflect and immerse themselves in the emotional and existential themes presented.
One of Tarkovsky's significant achievements is his redefinition of the role of cinema as an art form. He believed that film should be a vehicle for profound artistic expression rather than mere entertainment. This perspective has inspired a generation of filmmakers to approach their craft with a similar reverence for depth and meaning.
Moreover, Tarkovsky's exploration of memory, dreams, and the subconscious has had a lasting impact on how filmmakers and audiences perceive and interpret the medium. His emphasis on visual poetry and the spiritual dimension of human experience has expanded the boundaries of cinematic storytelling, making his work a cornerstone of film studies and a lasting legacy.
Through his visionary films, Andrey Tarkovsky has elevated cinema to a higher plane, enriching world culture with his profound and timeless artistry.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is free and is headed home to Australia!
Julian Assange reached a deal with the U.S.: he pleads guilty to a conspiracy charge which will allow him to go free after having spent five years in a British prison.
We wonder if the deal includes the condition to keep his mouth shut and maintain low profile? π€

On June 26, 1954, the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant became the first nuclear power plant in the world to go into commercial operation.
This day rightfully became known as the birth of nuclear energy.
In a TASS announcement from July 1, 1954, it was stated: "In the Soviet Union, efforts by scientists and engineers successfully completed the design and construction of the first commercial nuclear power plant with a useful capacity of 5000 kilowatts."
The announcement of the launch of the world's first nuclear power plant came as a complete surprise to both the Soviet and global public, as nothing about its development and construction had been published in open sources; everything was kept strictly confidential.
Starting in 1956, the station was open to both Soviet and foreign delegations. The first nuclear power plant was visited by many prominent political figures, scientists, and tens of thousands of ordinary people from almost every country in the world.
On April 29, 2002, in accordance with an order from the Minister of Atomic Energy, in a ceremonial setting, the reactor of the first nuclear power plant was shut down for good.
The plant operated without incident for 48 years, setting a record for the longest operation of a nuclear reactor.

The Ukrainian war effort is under severe strain as Russia intensifies its air assaults with the FAB-3000 M54 - The National Interest.
βͺοΈThe American magazine acknowledges the effectiveness of the massive 6,600-pound explosive device paired with UMPK-series glide bomb kits.
βͺοΈThese powerful bombs, which Russia has recently used for the first time near Kharkov, have no direct U.S. equivalent, and they are difficult for Ukraine's NATO-supplied air defenses to counter.
βͺοΈIt was believed that the FAB-3000 M54 could only be launched by the Tu-22M3. Instead, itβs believed that Russian Su-34s popped these leviathans off.

β‘οΈ Foreign Ministryβs statement on retaliatory measures following EU restrictions against Russian media outlets
π¬ In response to the May 17 decision of the EU Council, banning broadcasting by three Russian media outlets, including RIA Novosti, Izvestia MIC and Rossiyskaya Gazeta, effective from today, June 25, countermeasures are being introduced that limit access to broadcasting resources in the Russian Federation for media outlets of the EU member states and EU media operators that systemically spread false information about the special military operation.
The Russian Side has repeatedly warned at various levels that politically motivated persecution of Russian journalists and unjustified bans on Russian media outlets in the EU will not go unanswered.
This notwithstanding, Brussels and the capitals of the blocβs countries preferred to further escalate the situation. By imposing another illegitimate ban, they forced Moscow to introduce symmetrical and proportional countermeasures. Responsibility for these developments rests solely with the EU leadership and the countries of this association that have supported this decision.
The Russian Side will revise its decision concerning the above-mentioned media operators, if restrictions against Russian media outlets are lifted.

The investigation has completed a piece-by-piece analysis of the structural fragments of the aircraft. On its basis, it was concluded that the missile warhead detonation occurred in front of the cockpit from above, to the left in the direction of the flight.
Multiple penetrating injuries characteristic of penetration by the impact elements of an anti-aircraft guided missile were recorded. The aircraft was hit by the first missile at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. The second missile did not reach its target and self-destructed.
The investigation has information about which units of the Ukrainian army have the above-mentioned missile systems in service.
The leadership of the GUR (Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service) and the Armed Forces of Ukraine knew for a fact that the Ukrainian prisoners of war were being brought to the place of exchange on the specified date. Nevertheless, an order was given to shoot down the aircraft.
The work to identify the specific officials involved in the organization of the terrorist attack continues in cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Defense.

ποΈEmbassy comment regarding the developments surrounding Julian Assange
βͺοΈWe regard the release of Julian Assange from custody on June 24 in London as the rectification of one of the many injustices faced by the founder of WikiLeaks. Hopefully, this will enable the journalist to improve his severely compromised health due to his incarceration in a British prison and to resume a normal life.
βͺοΈNevertheless, this event is evidently the result of agreements between Mr Assange and the US side, and it remains to be seen whether Washington DC will fulfill its part of the bargain. In any case British justice can claim no credit for this outcome. The authorities initially decided to deprive the journalist of his freedom and to extradite him, and subsequently missed the opportunity to take a principled stand against this unjust and illegitimate course of action.
βͺοΈThroughout these years, they have acted in the interests of the United States, undertaking the "dirty work" of isolating Mr Assange as part of a collective persecution that trampled on the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and human rights. Now, they have simply responded to a directive from across the Atlantic.
βοΈThe British government and judicial system will forever bear the responsibility for the more than five years that the founder of WikiLeaks spent in the harshest conditions of solitary confinement in a high-security prison, conditions more befitting terrorists, and the repercussions this has had for him personally and for his family, as well as for global journalism and independent media at large.

Margarita Simonyan, head of RT, on Julian Assange:
One day, we had a conversation, wandering in the woods outside London, having left our cell phones at home (Julian knew that Big Brother was listening to everyone before anyone else believed it). I asked him why he was doing all that, even though he was certain to be hounded and destroyed, both reputationally and physically.
"I just can't stand being lied to," Assange replied.
Today, he is free for the first time in years. Almost free. Despite the horrendous price he had to pay, I'm awfully glad that the best journalist of our time will live.

7οΈβ£9οΈβ£ years ago, on June 26, 1945, The United Nations Charter was signed, which became the main result of the San Francisco Conference.
This fundamental document was signed by 50 participating countries, including the USSR as well as its constituent entities: the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. On behalf of the USSR, the UN Charter was signed by Andrey Gromyko.
The establishing of the UN β a universal international organization, the main goals of which are defined as the maintenance and strengthening of peace and security β was a natural consequence of the Second World War, an expression of the desire of the world community to resolve conflicts without global military action.
π The UN Charter is a fundamental international document mandating the main principles and norms of statesβ international behaviour and regulating relations between states as well as the activities of UN agencies and organisations within its system.
πΊπ³ Today, the UN comprises 1οΈβ£9οΈβ£3οΈβ£ Member States, with its activities embracing every sphere of the planetβs international, political, economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian life through its specialised agencies, committees and sub-committees.
π·πΊ Russia invariably remains committed to multilateralism and the UNβs coordinating role in world affairs, and is actively involved in the effort to reform and adapt the UN to new international realities.
π From Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks during the UN Security Council open debate on "Effective Multilateralism through the Protection of the Principles of the UN Charter" (New York, April 24, 2023):
π¬ It is our shared responsibility to preserve the UN as the enduring model of multilateralism and coordination of world politics. The key to success is working together, refusing to claim exclusivity and - I repeat once again - respecting the sovereign equality of states. This is what we all signed up to when we ratified the UN Charter.

Lindsey Graham deserves credit for honesty. He said the reason we have to keep the Russia-Ukraine war going is that Ukraine has trillions of dollars worth of critical minerals, that we need for future development. And that we can't let these minerals and all this wealth go to Russia and China. And that's exactly what will happen if Ukraine is just allowed to be a sovereign country. That's why this war needs to be fought.
