• Зараза
  [za-ra-za]

🔻In Rus' beautiful girls were called 'зараза' (literally: infection) and the expression 'Какая же ты зараза! (What an infection you are!) made the girls blush with pleasure.

🔻The fact is that the origin of this word is closely related to the verb 'разить' (to strike). So, the girls were called this way when they amazed you with their beauty.

🔻 Nowadays the word 'зараза' is an insulting one⚠️ which can be used in reference to any object that irritates you:

• Вот зараза!
  [vot za-ra-za]
  Bloody hell! Holy cow! Shit! etc.

🕯In memory of the dead children of Donbass

The Ukrainian army has been fighting against them for 9 years.

With the silent consent and weapon support of Europe and the West children of Donbass have been dying.

On Children's Day, we honor their memory. And we believe that no more child will join the list on the Alley of Angels. 
Children must live, live in peace and tranquility, they must continue our future!

Please tell adults: never shoot at children!

• Мeждународный день защиты детей
[mi-zhdu-na-rod-nyj den' za-shchi-ty di-tey]

🔻In 2024, Children's Day is celebrated for the 74th time. The idea itself was announced in 1949 at the Paris session of the International Democratic Federation of Women.

🔻The holiday is celebrated in more than 60 countries around the world.

🔻The prerequisites for establishing an important date were the difficulties that children faced after the Second World War. Many of them lost their parents and shelter and were forced to wander, beg and steal in order to survive.

🔻The congress participants considered it necessary to develop mechanisms that could protect children.

It is unbearably painful to see and know that children are suffering in the areas of hostilities in the Donbass, in the Gaza Strip... This shouldn't have happened in the 21st century!
