• Снятие блокады Ленинграда
[snya-ti-ye bla-ka-dy le-nin-gra-da]
The lifting of the siege of Leningrad
 

🔻On January 27, 1944, as a result of the Leningrad-Novgorod strategic offensive operation, Nazi troops near Leningrad were defeated and the 872-day siege of the city was finally lifted.

🔻The siege of Leningrad lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944 = more than 2 years!

🔻According to the Leningrad City Commission on the deliberate extermination of civilians of Leningrad by fascists and the damage caused to the economy and cultural and historical buildings, 107,158 high-explosive and incendiary bombs and over 150 thousand heavy artillery shells were dropped on the city.

🔻According to the sources, during the years of the siege, from 632,253 to 1.093 million people died.

⭐ Despite the monstrous hunger, Leningrad didn't bend the knee to the nazis. We'll never forget about its heroism, the cause and results of WW2.

• Чушпан
  [chush-pan]

🔻Russian modern cinema has suddenly revived a word from the criminal world of the 80s.

🔻It appeared in a 2023 Russian crime drama television series "Слово пацана. Кровь на асфальте" (The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt)

🔻Moreover, 'чушпан' was used back in the 30-50s in relation to those who first ended up in a labor prison.

🔻Later, ordinary people who were not involved in the criminal world and who lived outside gangs began to be disparagingly called this word.
