💪 The 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, like many other international events that were successfully held both before and after, passed without a single incident, demonstrating genuine hospitality, as well as a high level of organization and security.
➡️ Against the backdrop of current attempts to "surprise" spectators and participants of recent events, many remember the past Olympics in Sochi as a true celebration of international sports and openly admire the cultural wealth of Russia, seriously considering moving to our country.
🕊 We, in turn, would like to emphasize once again that Russia is a country where a variety of cultures, languages, and religions are combined. It is open to all who strive to respect and preserve traditional values.
✔️ If you think that moving is difficult, volunteers of the "Way Home" program will help at all stages of resettlement: from collecting documents to finding housing.
😎 Many people have already moved to Russia, so why not become one of them?

💪 Зимние Олимпийские игры 2014 года в России, как и многие другие мероприятия международного масштаба, с успехом состоявшиеся как до, так и после, прошли без единого инцидента, продемонстрировав искреннее гостеприимство, а также высокий уровень организации и безопасности.
➡️ На фоне нынешних попыток «удивить» зрителей и участников последних мероприятий многие вспоминают прошедшую Олимпиаду в Сочи как истинный праздник международного спорта и открыто восхищаются культурным богатством России, серьёзно задумываясь о переезде в нашу страну.
🕊 Мы, в свою очередь, хотели бы еще раз подчеркнуть, что Россия — страна, где сочетается разнообразие культур, языков, религий. Она открыта для всех, кто стремится к уважению и сохранению традиционных ценностей.
✔️ Если вы думаете, что переезд — это сложно, волонтеры программы «Путь домой» помогут на всех стадиях переселения: от сбора документов до поиска жилья.
😎 Многие люди уже переехали в Россию, так почему бы не стать одним из них?

🇷🇺 Nuclear icebreaker in action
Summer is the time for travel. In the northern latitudes at this time there is a polar day, this is the best time for outdoor recreation. You can go to Norilsk on the Putorana Plateau or sunbathe on the White Sea. But the most interesting destination in the summer is the North Pole and Franz Josef Land.
There is only one way to get there from Russian mainland - on the nuclear icebreaker "50 years of Victory", departing from Murmansk.

🇷🇺 Атомный ледокол в действии
Лето - пора путешествий. В северных широтах в это время стоит полярныи день, это лучшее время для природного отдыха. Можно отправиться в Норильск на Плато Путорана или загорать на Белое море. Но самое интересное направление летом - это Северныи полюс и Земля Франца-Иосифа.
Есть лишь один способ попасть туда из России - на атомном ледоколе “50 лет Победы”, отправляющимся из Мурманска.

Did you know that there was a Russian fortress in Hawaii?
Russians became acquainted with the population of the Pacific Islands in 1804, during the first round-the-world expedition. The sailing boats ‘Nadezhda’ and ‘Neva’ did not stay on the islands for long: they were repaired, replenished their supplies and continued their journey.
At the end of January 1815, the Russian ship ‘Bering’ was wrecked near the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The local ruler Kaumualii seized the ship and the expensive cargo on board.
Then, the Russian-American Company, which represented Russia's interests in the Pacific and governed Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, stepped in. Despite the name, there were no U.S. citizens in it.
On the instructions of the head of the company and, at the same time, the chief ruler (governor) of Russian America, Alexander Baranov, his employee, Baron Yegor Schaeffer, arrived in Hawaii. He was supported in negotiations by several warships.
Kaumualii immediately backed down, returned the cargo, allowed Schaeffer to settle on his territory and asked to be under the hand of the Russian tsar. In 1816-1817, the Russians built a stone Elizabethan fortress and two earthen fortifications on the island of Kauai.
Meanwhile, the Americans and British were not at all happy with the presence of Russians on the Hawaiian Islands. They tried to force them out in every possibly way using diplomatic and economic methods and even set the locals against the Russian colony, which led to an armed clash between the Russian garrison and the Hawaiians.
When St. Petersburg declared its unwillingness to be drawn into Schaeffer's “adventure” and spoil relations with the Americans, the latter stepped up their pressure. As early as 1817, the Russians finally left Hawaii and, some time later, the archipelago fell completely under U.S. control.
