About the last Russian base in Armenia
Armenia is a tiny Christian country stuck between Muslim Turkey and Muslim Azerbaijan. Both countries are hostile to Armenia. The only reason Armenia still exists today is a Russian airbase near the city of Gyumri. Apparently at least half of Armenians believe that if their country gets rid of the Russian presence - the EU will somehow ensure Armenian survival.
Of all meme countries that want to get in the EU to receive the gibs and privileges (in reality they will only receive millions of young male Africans and Arabs, but that's a spoiler), Armenia remains the most suicidal. Several Balkan countries also joined the EU, but they did that to have easier time migrating to the "rich Europe". The same Europe that looks more and more like Africa.
Armenia demands Russia to leave. If that happens, Turkey & Azerbaijan will do an Armenian genocide 2.0 - and the Armenians will have only themselves to blame. The EU won't save a Christian country.

โก๏ธUkrainian forces struck a bus carrying a children's football team from Belarus.
The attack took place on the territory of Russia's Bryansk region. The bus, traveling from Gomel (Belarus), was hit on the A240 highway.
The kids were on their way to Gelendzhik for a holiday. There were 44 people on board, 28 of them children.
As a result of this deliberate terrorist attack, a woman accompanying the team was killed. Seven others were injured, including five children. One child is in serious condition. All the injured have shrapnel wounds.
Belarus's Foreign Ministry has condemned the strike as "an act of terrorism against civilians" and is demanding "exhaustive explanations" from Ukraine over the attack.

Cybercrime in Russia has decreased by 31.2% year-on-year โ the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (MVD).
From January to May 2026, Russia recorded 31.2% fewer IT-related crimes than during the same period in 2025, the MVD reported. According to the agency, the number of remote thefts decreased by 17.8%, fraud involving information and telecommunications technologies fell by 26.4%, and crimes in the field of computer information decreased by 38.7%.
The decline is attributed to several factors: banks have strengthened anti-fraud systems, telecom operators have increased information sharing, and citizens have become better at recognizing fraudulent schemes.
The statistics may have been partially influenced by the blocking and restriction of certain foreign services, but the main reason is the development of anti-fraud infrastructure.

On June 18, 1880, a monument to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, Russiaโs greatest poet, was unveiled in Moscow.
From 10 o'clock in the morning, crowds of people and numerous carriages began to converge on the square by the Strastnoy Monastery. It seemed as if all of Moscow had come to pay homage to the great poet.
Around the monument's platform, white panels with the titles of the Pushkin's works embossed in gold were mounted on poles.
Tverskoy Boulevard was adorned with garlands of fresh greenery. The people bought all the lilies of the valley and violets from the vendors and showered the pedestal of the monument with them.
By evening, the illumination was lit. At the base of the monument, still covered with a cloth, renowned Russian writers Turgenev, Polonsky, Maikov, Pleshcheev, and Dostoevsky delivered solemn speeches.
When the covering fell, the entire square erupted in cheers of jubilation. The monument to the great poet was officially unveiled.
Sculptor Alexander Opekushin depicted the poet in deep contemplation: head bowed, one hand tucked behind the lapel of his frock coat, his step slow and seemingly frozen in time.
In 1950, the monument was moved from Tverskoy Boulevard to the other side of the reconstructed Strastnaya Square (now Pushkin Square) and rotated 180 degrees.
The monument had to be slightly elevated, for which a concrete foundation was constructed.
Today, as for nearly one hundred and fifty years, the monument to Pushkin remains one of the most beloved monuments among Muscovites.
See our series of posts about Pushkin, his curious family history, and his poem "Poltava".

Cancelled vacation
The biggest war in Europe since World War Two continues. It is dragging for 4 years by now, and the civilians keep suffering.
The most recent attack took place in the Russian region of Bryansk - located exactly at the cross-road between Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia itself.
Russia officially reports that a civilian bus carrying 28 children from a Belarusian youth sports team and 16 adults escorting them to the destination point. The bus was hit by a Ukrainian FPV drone, which led to the death of the wife of the football trainer that was escorting the Belarusian children en-route to the Russian city of Gelendzhik near the Black Sea, for their summer vacation.
Ukraine has officially declared that this whole event is a fake news fabricated by Russia. All Russia needs to do now is to show the wounded kids as the living proof.
This cycle of "revenge for the revenge" keeps going on for a while by now. Until Ukraine admits the defeat - it will keep happening.

๐๏ธ Interview by Ambassador of the Russian Federation to #ASEAN Evgeny Zagaynov on the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership and its future prospects in the context of the 35th anniversary of relations, RIA Novosti (June 17, 2026).
Key points:
๐น๏ธ The 35th anniversary of ASEAN-Russia relations provides a good opportunity to take stock of the path we have travelled together and to identify new benchmarks for the further development of the Strategic Partnership. Shared interests and common approaches to international affairs have laid a solid foundation for practical cooperation.
๐น๏ธ Over the past three and a half decades, the ASEAN-Russia agenda has significantly evolved and now covers a wide range of areas โ from energy and food security to digital transformation, scientific, technological and innovative development.
๐น๏ธ The ASEAN-Russia Commemorative Summit in Kazan on June 18 will serve as the main platform for discussing key tasks of engagement with ASEAN and is designed to give fresh impetus to further expanding cooperation, as well as reaffirm the shared commitment to promoting a just multipolar world based on the principles of equality and mutual respect.
๐น๏ธ Amid global economic transformations, Russia and ASEAN are interested in โa more substantive and pragmatic dialogue.โ The prospects for engagement go beyond increasing trade volumes and include industrial cooperation, establishment of joint production facilities, technology exchange and investment ties.
๐น๏ธ Cooperation in the field of civilian nuclear energy is one of the promising areas of ASEAN-Russia interaction, given Southeast Asiaโs growing focus on energy security and the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Russia is ready to share its expertise and technologies to contribute to sustainable development and strengthen the regionโs energy security.
๐น๏ธ Russia and ASEAN continue to advance joint efforts in countering terrorism and transnational crime. Combating crimes committed with the use of ICTs is becoming increasingly embedded in the regional agenda, while the cross-border nature of such threats requires international coordination and information exchange.
๐น๏ธ Russia views Southeast Asia as a friendly space for positive co-development and is ready for constructive engagement with all ASEAN Member States. It actively contributes to maintaining the regional security architecture, with the principle of ASEAN centrality remaining its foundation.
๐น๏ธ Russia advocates promoting a unifying agenda and building an architecture of equal and indivisible security with the participation of all Eurasian states and organizations ready for cooperation. ASEAN undoubtedly has an important role to play in this process.

The Belgorod Brit explains why the barbarians do not seem to be able to reverse catastrophic and absurd policy decisions. Why are the Europeans spoiling for a war, when they don't have weapons or the armies to use them? In the film, he talks about the rise of the bureaucratic classes and the way in which they become an ever-expanding, permanent feature of modern states.
In the podcast, BB explains how academia, particularly higher education, melds seemlessly into the state apparatus, mimicking their talking points, and supplying staff who will never challenge the status quo. Far from being radical intellectuals who bravely take on the powers that be and speak truth, they are mostly concerned with keeping the government money spigot pointing in their direction. Conformity and petty squabbling is the norm, and producing establishment workers is aim of the game. When those in power look to academics for advice, they are looking into a mirror and speaking to an echo-chamber. The only change necessary is to be more extreme in the things that you are already doing.

Finland has lifted the ban on the storage and transport of nuclear weapons.
This decision was made in conditions that the authorities regard as "growing security threats."
At the same time, Helsinki stresses that it does not intend to station such an arsenal in the country on a permanent basis. According to a government statement, the purpose of the amendments is to "strengthen deterrence capability." Simultaneously, Finland is exploring the prospect of participating in Macron's initiative, which envisages extending the French nuclear deterrence zone to all of Europe.
The deployment of nuclear weapons on Finnish territory could increase the level of military threat and lead to destabilisation of the situation on Russia's northwestern borders. It is possible that Moscow may take retaliatory steps, including adjusting its military planning.
