• У страха глаза велики
[u stra-kha gla-za vi-li-ki]
SLT: Fear has big eyes.
Fear magnifies danger.
Meaning:
This proverb means that when we are afraid, our perception of danger is exaggerated. We imagine things to be much worse than they actually are.
English version:
Cowards die many times before their death.
Origin:
The proverb's origin is unclear, but it most likely comes from the fact that fear can make people feel as though their eyes are wide open and looking out for danger.
Example:
• Ты победил в этом соревновании! А всё отказывался участвовать, боялся. Как говорится, у страха глаза велики!
[ty pa-bi-dil v e-tam sa-riv-na-va-ni-i! a fsyo at-ka-zy-val-sya u-cha-stva-vat', ba-yal-sya. kak ga-va-ri-tsa, u stra-kha gla-za vi-li-ki]

Он сам никогда не осознавал насколько был талантлив и насколько большой вклад внёс в нашу победу. На обоих фронтах.
"A letter from a Donetsk resident" Oleg wrote at the very beginning of the SMO. Then still being a fighter of the information front. In about six months he will be at the front not with a keyboard, but with a machine gun in his hands. And then, even to his own surprise, he will deftly master UAVs... He himself never realized how talented he was and how much of a contribution he made to our victory. On both fronts.

Glass beach
🔻This beach is a hidden gem near Vladivostok.
🔻The Glass Beach, located in a secluded bay near Vladivostok, Russia, is a unique and mesmerizing place. It's not a typical sandy beach, but a stunning mosaic of colourful glass fragments, created by nature's artistry.
🔻For decades, the bay was used as a dumping ground for glass bottles and other debris. Over time, the relentless waves and sand transformed the trash into a kaleidoscope of colors.
🔻The beach boasts an astounding array of colours, from deep blues and greens to fiery reds and oranges.
🔻The sun's rays refract through the fragments, creating a dazzling spectacle of light and colour.
🔻Recognizing its unique value, the Glass Beach is now a protected area. Visitors are encouraged to observe and appreciate the beauty of the beach without removing any glass fragments.

Karin Kneissl is an international researcher, orientalist, career diplomat, and served as Austria's Foreign Minister from 2017 to 2019. In 2022-2023, Kneissl lived in Lebanon, and in the summer of 2023, she began settling in Russia.
Currently, Kneissl heads the analytical center Geopolitical Observatory for Russia’s Key Issues (G.O.R.K.I.) at St. Petersburg State University.
"Russia is a free space where the big and the small harmoniously coexist," said Karin to a question from 5-tv.ru about what she associates with our country.
"I like the Russian language for its diminutive forms: 'секундочка,' 'минуточка' - the way you 'reduce' names. And this amazing combination of the big and the small - that's what I associate with Russia now: a vast expanse and the importance of small things.
And Russia for me - I realized this in recent months - is a love for life. It's saying 'yes' to life. I understood this when I saw how a doctor treated my sick dog, I see it in many other things. Russian people say 'yes' to life. That's what I associate Russia with," the politician shared during a conversation with journalists at the presentation of her book "Requiem for Europe" at RGGU.

1. Медовуха
[mi-da-vu-kha]
🔻In Rus', a low-alcohol beverage made from honey, water, and yeast called "медовуха" was widely known. Today, this drink can still be found on Russian shelves.
2. Кротовуха
[kra-ta-vu-kha]
🔻In 2022, a video went viral online featuring a man tasting 'кротовуха' - an "alcohol drink made with a dead mole." (No, don't try that at home.)
🔻With the Russian economy allegedly its last legs under the weight of sanctions, the idea that Russians were "eating the last hedgehog and washing it down with mole-vodka" was quickly picked up by the Russians as a funny joke.
🔻However, 'кротовуха' wasn't enough for Russians!
3. Медвежжуха
[mid-vi-zhu-kha]
🔻You can guess what animal the 'starving' Russians have moved on to, just by looking at the name and label.
🔻Reviews say it's a pleasant, low-alcohol drink with a pear honey flavour.
🔻If you're ever in Russia, be sure to give it a try!
