Guess what Trump did right after shaking hands with Zelensky?

🔻He made the corna sign! It’s a superstitious hand gesture used to protect yourself from bad luck or the evil eye when dealing with someone you think is cursed.

🔻It seems that Donald Trump believes in проклятие [pra-klya-ti-ye] Зеленского (Zelensky's curse) and hopes to avoid it. As if that’s going to do anything!

What about your country? What are some local ways to ward off the evil eye or curses 🧿?

Russian superstitions: protecting yourself from the evil eye 🧿

🔻In Russia, many people still believe in сглаз [zglaz)] - the evil eye, a curse brought on by someone's jealous or malicious gaze.

• сглазить (perf.)
[zgla-zit']
To jinx someone, to cast the evil eye

🔻How Russians protect themselves:

✔️Плюнуть три раза через левое плечо [plyu-noot' tree ra-za che-ris le-va-ye plee-cho] spit three times over the left shoulder: тьфу-тьфу-тьфу!

✔️Носить красную нитку [na-sit' kras-noo-yoo nit-koo] wear a red thread on the wrist, or булавку [boo-laf-koo] a pin on the inside of your clothes.

✔️Постучать по дереву [pa-stoo-chat' pa de-ri-voo] knock on wood to keep good luck safe.

✔️Показать кукиш [pa-ka-zat' koo-kish] show a fig in your pocket.

😉 So next time you want to say something nice in Russian, add тьфу-тьфу-тьфу and knock on wood - just in case!

🛳 Russia invites foreign investors to build Arctic vessels for the Northern Sea Route.

🧊Growing cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) demands more ice-class ships capable of safe operations in polar conditions. Russia’s Ministry of Transport has called on foreign shipowners and investors to participate in building a fleet suitable for NSR navigation.

🧊At the same time, Russia is ready to train international crews for Arctic voyages. Agreements have already been signed with China and India, with training to be conducted at Russian maritime institutions equipped with modern simulators. This is especially vital for seafarers from countries lacking experience in ice navigation.

🧊Expanding NSR cargo flows requires not only new vessels but also skilled personnel. Joint projects in shipbuilding and crew training offer broad opportunities for international cooperation in the Arctic.

Full story is here🚢

Получи, фашист, гранату от советского солдата!
Take that, you fascist, a grenade from a Soviet soldier.

🔻Putin on Russia's retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian port infrastructure. The President pointed out that it was the Ukrainian Armed Forces that initiated strikes against Russian vessels, targeting civilian ones in particular.

🔻This phrase originated from the 1944 Soviet film Ivan Nikulin - Russian Sailor (Иван Никулин — русский матрос). The film was one of the first colour Soviet films about the Great Patriotic War (WW2). In the film, the main character, a Soviet sailor, throws a grenade at German soldiers while shouting this line.

💢 In contemporary Russian, the phrase is used humorously sarcastically to express a taste of your own medicine reaction. It means someone is receiving exactly what they gave to others - especially when the other side complains about it.
