🐶 A dog-scooterist was spotted in St. Petersburg - the furry one took away a kid's ride. The only scooter rider we approve of!

🔥Some linguistic stuff you can skip:

• Отжать (perf.)
[at-zhat']
1) To wring smth dry
2) To take away / to steal / to jack

🔻Originally, отжать meant to squeeze out (like juice from a fruit). In 1990s slang, it took on the meaning of to squeeze something out of someone - hence, to take or steal.

🔻This is not the same as украсть (to steal quietly). Отжать has an edge of open, cheeky, or semi-forceful taking. Often used for comedic effect.

Example:

• Хвостатый отжал у ребёнка средство передвижения.
The furry one took the kid's ride.

No guilt. Just fur and determination.

Саммит Большой восьмёрки обкашливает вопросики.
The G8 summit is hashing out little questions.

• Обкашлять вопросик (perf.)
[ap-kash-lyit' vap-ro-sik]
SLT: To cough over a little question

Meaning:
This slang phrase means to discuss something thoroughly. To talk it through. To figure things out calmly and carefully.

🔻It comes from Russian verb кашлять (to cough)

🔻The prefix ОБ- means thoroughly.

🔻In English, you'd say: to hash things out / to talk it over / to chew it over

I bet you've never heard this before, or have you?

Pushkin’s "The Tale of the Priest and His Workman Balda" hides old Russian words that puzzle modern readers.

🍞 "Tolokonny forehead"
A folk insult for a dumb person. Tolokno is flour made by pounding oats with a wooden pestle. So a “tolokonny forehead” means a head as thick as a wooden club.

🍚 Boiled spelt
Why did Balda ask for it? Spelt is an ancient wheat (farro). It’s easy to digest, low in gluten, rich in protein, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. Very filling — almost replaces meat.

In the 19th century, spelt was food for the poor: it grew on poor soil and resisted cold. But it’s hard to thresh, so modern wheat pushed it out.

Today spelt is a trendy superfood, even used in desserts with honey and thyme.

🚚 Rostec and BELAZ have launched a joint venture to deploy hydrogen-powered and unmanned dump trucks.

🔻The new company, Roblex, will bring two types of mining equipment to the Russian market:

🔻Unmanned BELAZ-7513R (130‑ton capacity) with machine vision, lidars, and centralized dispatch control. It enables 24/7 hauling without a driver, reducing downtime and tire wear.

🔻Hydrogen truck based on BELAZ-7530 (220‑ton capacity). A hybrid powertrain with hydrogen fuel cells and lithium‑ion batteries cuts fuel costs by 30‑50% compared to diesel, with zero CO₂ emissions.

Roblex has exclusive rights to sell BELAZ hydrogen and unmanned vehicles at Russian quarries. This fills the gap between the Belarusian manufacturer and Russian customers, creating a unified platform for AI, telemetry, and hydrogen energy. Pilot operation at active quarries begins this year,” said Dmitry Lelikov, Deputy CEO of Rostec.

Pilot operation starts in 2026.
