В Национальном институте языкового образования и подготовки Шри-Ланки состоялось торжественное открытие курса русского языка 🇷🇺🇱🇰
В Коломбо в онлайн-формате состоялось открытие курса русского языка уровня А1 для слушателей Национального института языкового образования и подготовки Шри-Ланки (NILET) — одного из ведущих государственных институтов страны, специализирующихся на преподавании иностранных языков.
Запуск курса стал следующим этапом сотрудничества после подписания в мае этого года соглашения между Русским домом и NILET. За прошедшие три месяца был успешно сформирован первый поток слушателей, и сегодня к изучению русского языка приступили 12 студентов разных возрастов и профессий. Среди них — жители Шри-Ланки, заинтересованные в изучении русского языка, а также студенты российских вузов, которые будут проходить обучение в онлайн-формате.
Шестимесячную программу будут вести ведущие преподаватели Русского дома — куратор Лиги русистов Шри-Ланки Феликс Фернандо и преподаватель русского языка Ватсала Мадуванти, обладающая многолетним опытом преподавания в Университете Шри-Джаяварденепуры и присоединившаяся к команде Русского дома в этом году.
Представляя специально разработанную программу, Ватсала Мадуванти рассказала, что курс полностью соответствует уровню А1 и охватывает все ключевые элементы изучения языка: русский алфавит, фонетику, систему произношения, чтение, письмо, лексику и основы грамматики. Особое внимание будет уделено развитию разговорной речи. Обучение строится на коммуникативном подходе с использованием современных интерактивных и смешанных методов преподавания, позволяющих студентам не только изучать язык, но и уверенно применять его в реальном общении. Занятия будут проходить один раз в неделю по четыре академических часа в течение шести месяцев. По завершении обучения слушатели получат сертификаты Русского дома, подтверждающие владение русским языком на уровне А1.
С приветственным словом к участникам церемонии обратилась руководитель Русского дома Мария Попова. Она подчеркнула, что открытие курса русского языка в NILET является одним из важнейших шагов в развитии преподавания русского языка на острове. Сегодня институт реализует программы более чем по десяти иностранным языкам, и включение русского языка в этот перечень открывает новые возможности для образовательного и гуманитарного сотрудничества между Россией и Шри-Ланкой.
На церемонии также выступила директор NILET Чандра Викрамасенхе, отметив, что запуск курса станет настоящим мостом между знаниями, культурами и народами двух стран, а также важным вкладом в укрепление российско-ланкийских гуманитарных связей. Она выразила уверенность, что сотрудничество с Русским домом откроет для студентов новые образовательные и профессиональные перспективы.
В завершение встречи своими историями поделились несколько студентов нового набора, рассказав, почему они решили изучать именно русский язык и какие возможности связывают с его знанием.
Желаем всем участникам программы вдохновения, настойчивости и больших успехов в изучении одного из самых красивых, богатых и удивительных языков мира!

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
On the anniversary of the atomic bombing, the Mayor of Hiroshima once again failed to tell the world who was responsible for his city’s suffering.
He made no mention of the United States – the country that dropped an atomic bomb on civilians.
🤷♀️ Instead, he criticised Russia and its actions in Ukraine.
The distorting mirror of Western narratives not only warps reality but also reshapes the minds of those who gaze into it. Year after year, the Mayor of Hiroshima repeats the same false mantra, subjecting the Japanese public to a steady stream of Russophobic rhetoric.
This is despite the fact that the Russian people, having endured Japanese aggression in the Far East, have always remembered the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and cited their tragedy as an example of unacceptable brutality.

⚔️ August 6 – the heroic defense of the Osowiec Fortress – a memorable date in Russia's military history.
#OTD, 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ years ago, Russian soldiers carried out one of the most extraordinary counterattacks of World War I.
At around 4 am on August 6, 1915, German forces, which had been laying siege to Osowiec Fortress for months, launched a massive poison-gas attack against its Russian garrison.
The defenders had no effective protection, and the gas devastated the garrison and turned the battlefield into a poisoned wasteland.
Believing the fortress silenced, thousands of German troops advanced. Instead, they were met by several dozen surviving Russian soldiers of the 13th Company, led by Second Lieutenant Vladimir Kotlinsky.
Their faces covered with blood-soaked cloth, the poisoned defenders emerged from the trenches and charged with fixed bayonets.
🏳️ The sight broke the German advance. The attackers panicked, fled and became entangled in their own barbed wire as the surviving Russian artillery opened fire. The lost positions were retaken.
This counterattack entered history as the Attack of the Dead Men – an enduring symbol of the Russian soldier’s courage, devotion to duty and indomitable spirit.

🗓 On August 8, the Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (#ASEAN) celebrate #ASEANDay.
🌏 #ASEAN was established in Bangkok on August 8, 1967, by Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, which signed the Bangkok Declaration.
The Association was subsequently joined by Brunei (1984), Vietnam (1995), Laos and Myanmar (1997), Cambodia (1999), while in October 2025 Timor-Leste became its 11th full member.
#ASEAN is one of the key pillars of the regional architecture in the Asia-Pacific. A whole system of multilateral mechanisms involving Russia and other leading global powers has developed around the Association – the East Asia Summit (#EAS), the ASEAN Regional Forum (#ARF), the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (#ADMMPlus) and other formats. Russia actively participates in these mechanisms.
🤝 Developing cooperation with ASEAN is among the priorities of Russia’s foreign policy in Asia. Russia became a full Dialogue Partner of the Association in 1996. In 2017, Russia’s Permanent Mission to ASEAN began operating in Jakarta, and in 2018 Russia-ASEAN relations were elevated to a strategic partnership.
***
On June 17-18, 2026, Kazan hosted the anniversary Summit marking 35 years of #RussiaASEAN relations.
During the meeting, the Leaders conducted a comprehensive review of the Russia-ASEAN strategic partnership, outlined new areas of cooperation in the political, economic and humanitarian spheres, and exchanged views on current international and regional issues.

On August 9, 1945, the Soviet Union, in accordance with its commitments to the Allies, entered the war against militarist Japan.
🌟 The Manchurian strategic offensive operation of the Soviet forces in the Far East commenced. Its objective was to defeat the enemy’s Kwantung Army and to drive the Japanese occupants from northeastern China and Korea.
***
After the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany and its accomplices, Japan remained the only 'axis' power still at war with the Allies. It possessed significant military capabilities to wage war, including offensive operations.In the summer of 1945, the Japanese kept near the Soviet borders an almost one million-strong Kwantung Army — a formidable force ready to treacherously invade our country at any moment. Japan still occupied huge territories in East and Southeast Asia — the Korean Peninsula, Indochina, Indonesia, Malaya, and a portion of China, as well as Burma, and the Philippine Islands.
❗️ Thus, Japan posed a huge threat not only to our country’s security, but also to the emerging post-war world order, which was taking shape after the defeat of Nazi Germany and was based on the decisions and agreements of the Leaders of the victorious Allied powers.
Japan rejected the demand made by China, the United States, and UK on July 26, 1945 (paragraph 13 of the Potsdam Declaration) for the unconditional surrender of its troops. Following that, the Allied powers officially appealed to the Soviet government to repel Japanese aggression.
***
In early August 1945, the Supreme High Command of the Soviet Union approved a plan for military operations in the Far East. It was entrusted to the specially created Main Command of the Far Eastern Forces headed by Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky.
On August 9, the Red Army launched the offensive in Manchuria. The Soviet units, supported by aviation and the navy, advanced rapidly. Strikes were delivered on targets on land, at sea, and from the air. Combat operations unfolded along the front line that was over (!) 5'000 kilometres wide.
Within a month, the Soviet forces liberated Harbin, the territories of Northeastern China and Korea, liberated South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The breakthrough of the Red Army deep into Manchuria deprived the Japanese command of the opportunity to use bacteriological weapons against our country — Tokyo had been nurturing that plan during #WWII.
By August 20, Japan’s ability to offer resistance to the Red Army was shattered. Almost everywhere, along the entire front line, the enemy soldiers were surrendering.
The million-strong Kwantung Army was finally defeated.
***
By September 1, 1945, the Soviet army had completed the assigned objectives. In just 23 days of combat, they crushed the Japanese militarist machine, thus making a decisive contribution to ending WWII in the Far East. Our country regained South Sakhalin, which had been seized by Japan from the Russian Empire in 1905, liberated the Kuril Islands, and restored lease rights to the Kwantung Peninsula with Port Arthur and Dalian.
On September 2, 1945, the Act of Unconditional Surrender of Japan was signed aboard the USS 'Missouri' in Tokyo Bay. On behalf of the Soviet Union, the Act was signed by General Kuzma Derevyanko.
#WW2 finally ended.

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:
EU ready to do anything to prevent Russia’s return to international sport
The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, Europe’s so-called elites are deeply alarmed by the International Olympic Committee’s decision to lift sanctions against the Russian Olympic Committee and Russian athletes.
In Brussels and EU capitals, there is much lamenting that the IOC’s move effectively nullifies years of Western efforts to “isolate” our country from international sport. What has caused particular alarm among Eurobureaucrats, bordering on panic, is the prospect of Russian athletes participating in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles under their national flag and anthem.
In the totalitarian and fascist manner typical of Euro-liberals, they now intend to “punish” the International Olympic Committee itself. The plan is to “hit them in the wallet” by restricting funding for the IOC and other sports organisations that agree to allow Russians to compete.
❗️A fresh push is underway to undermine Russia’s standing as a major sporting power.
Europe’s “undertakers” of the Olympic Movement intend to step up anti-Russian propaganda among countries and sports federations that take a constructive approach towards Moscow, seeking to persuade them to sabotage the IOC’s “apolitical” decision.
The EU has already included Russian sports officials, including Russian Sports Minister and President of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev, in its 21st sanctions package. It is also considering visa bans and additional targeted restrictions against an even broader range of Russian athletes and representatives of Russian sports organisations.
Another effective way of “taking the Russians out of the game”, according to the EU, is to stage provocations against members of Russian teams ahead of competitions. This approach was tested in Munich in early July, when police detained members of the Russian team competing at the European Junior Artistic Swimming Championships on suspicion of “espionage”.
The intimidation, however, did not prevent the Russians from confidently topping the tournament’s overall medal table.
👉 It seems Russophobia has so clouded Eurobureaucrats’ judgment that they are ready to sacrifice the Olympic Movement itself. Yet the IOC’s latest decision shows that the global sporting community will not follow the lead of those seeking to bury Pierre de Coubertin’s great legacy.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on the death of foreign nationals in the terrorist attack by Ukrainian militants on Nizhnekamsk (August 10, 2026)
💬 The terrorist attack by the Kiev regime against civilian sites in Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, on August 10 resulted in at least 13 fatalities, most of them foreign nationals.
According to preliminary reports, the victims included eight citizens of Uzbekistan and one citizen of Tajikistan. Approximately 20 foreign nationals were wounded.
The Kiev neo-Nazis deliberately targeted facilities where people from our friendly countries live and work, aiming to drive a wedge between our nations and undermine our brotherly relations.
The terrorist attacks perpetrated by Ukrainian militant have claimed the lives of not only Russian civilians, but also foreign nationals.
▪️ We express our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish speedy recovery to the wounded.
The Russian Foreign Ministry calls on all members of the international community to condemn the barbaric crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis.

🎙 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin's interview with TASS News Agency (August 11, 2026)
Key points:
• Zelensky has no interest in peace. For him and his clique, prolonging the conflict is the only way to stay in power and evade responsibility for the crimes they have committed.
• We are not closing the door to negotiations. At the same time, we are left with no choice but to continue pursuing, by military means, the objectives of demilitarising and denazifying Ukraine and eliminating the threats emanating from its territory.
• Our principles and approaches to a lasting and just settlement remain unchanged. They were set out by President Vladimir Putin in his address at the Russian Foreign Ministry on June 14, 2024.
• There have been no official contacts with Germany on the Ukraine settlement, nor are any likely given the German political leadership’s extremely aggressive anti-Russian rhetoric and actions. Informal meetings between representatives of Russian and German public organisations, however, have taken place and continue.
• Any attempt to destabilise the situation or stage provocations against Belarus, our ally, will be regarded as an attack on the Union State as a whole. We hope our Western partners have enough common sense to restrain the Zelensky regime from provocations that could have irreparable consequences for the European continent.
• The Moldovan leadership and the Kiev regime must understand that any armed aggression against Transnistria, home to more than 220,000 Russian citizens, would have catastrophic consequences for the aggressors themselves.
• The referendum in Armenia is intended to establish what the country’s people actually think about the EU and the EAEU. The issue is not an abstract one – whether they would like to join the EU – but a very practical one: are they prepared to give up EAEU membership for the far from certain prospect of joining the EU in the future?
• We thank the leadership of Kazakhstan for its attention to the situation around Ukraine. However, as President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated, there can be no “freeze” without addressing the root causes of the crisis.
• We remain open to further expanding pragmatic ties with Tbilisi. It is clear that Georgia’s successful development lies not in confrontation, but in cooperation with Russia.

☢️ Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP):
On August 11, three people were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack in Energodar’s industrial area. Two of them are employees of the electrical grid workshop at the Zaporozhskaya NPP (part of Rosatom).
The employees were en route to restore power to facilities in the industrial area damaged in previous AFU attacks.
ZNPP electrical grid personnel work every day to restore power to Energodar and industrial facilities following Ukrainian strikes. Often working under the threat of renewed attacks, they make every effort to promptly restore electricity to damaged areas.
It was these very people – on their way to restore power supplies – who were targeted.
All those injured were taken to Medical Unit No. 145, where they are receiving all necessary medical care. Unfortunately, one of them is in serious condition.
❗️ The AFU deliberately put Zaporozhskaya NPP personnel at risk as they carry out work vital to the city. They repair damaged infrastructure and maintain power supplies to social and industrial facilities – doing so every day despite the constant threat of attack.
The plant’s personnel continue to perform their professional duties, ensuring the safety and uninterrupted functioning of Energodar.

❗️ The AFU deliberately put Zaporozhskaya NPP personnel at risk as they carry out work vital to the city. They repair damaged infrastructure and maintain power supplies to social and industrial facilities – doing so every day despite the constant threat of attack.
The plant’s personnel continue to perform their professional duties, ensuring the safety and uninterrupted functioning of Energodar.
