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!

🤗Товарищи! It's time to make you think in Russiаn!
This is a rebus (the rules are here) for a well-known Russian noun (which is similar to its English equivalent😉).
❓Can you solve it?
Can't wait to see your answers in the comments!
The correct answer:
тат у 'и' ров к (towards) 'a' = татуировка.

• Идеальная татуировка
[i-di-al'-na-ya ta-tu-i-rof-ka]
An ideal tattoo
🔻In Russia you can also hear it's short form:
• Tату
[ta-tu]
or its spoken version:
• Татушка (татушки)
[ta-tush-ka (ta-tush-ki)]
Also:
• Сделать татуировку (perf.)
[sde-lat' ta-tu-i-rof-ku]
=
• Набить тату (colloquial, perf.)
[na-bit' ta-tu-i-rof-ku]
To get a tattoo
🔻'Татуировка' is a bit longer than the simple English "tattoo," isn't it?
🔻The reason for this difference lies in the origin of the word. "Tattoo" comes from the Polynesian word "tatau," while "татуировка" is derived from the French "tatouage," which itself comes from "tatou".

Did you know that Russia has a monument to a firefighter cat named Semyon (Семён)?
🔻For several years, the striped "furball" lived at the 135th fire and rescue unit in the Tyumen region. The cat used to go to the daily morning lineups of the changing fire crews.
🔻The fluffy friend helped to keep the fire station free of rodents and lifted the spirits of the firefighters.
🔻Semyon soon got his own personalized fire uniform and was promoted to the rank of warrant officer. He even had his own account on VK, which is now devoted to all cats-firefighters.
🔻Semyon tragically passed away in the spring of 2023. There is a monument to him as a tribute to all four-legged friends who are on "duty."

Russia is home to a vast number of people from different nationalities and faiths. Despite our differences, we treat each other with respect.
🔵 However, every summer (regardless of the region in our vast and beautiful country, religion, gender, or nationality), a number of Russians traditionally divide themselves into two irreconcilably hostile categories:
Category📝 : те, кому жарко (those who are hot) with the air-conditioning off
and
Category📝 : те, кому дует (those who are drafty) with air-conditioning on.
🔵 These particularly "bloody" battles unfold in air-conditioned offices.
🔵 The struggle to "neutralize the icy air conditioning" against "creating an optimally cool temperature for brain function" continues until autumn, when the warring parties, breathing a sigh of relief, and unite to fight off autumnal depression, lovingly supporting each other with ginger tea and homemade pies.
