Lyubomir Korba – The Direct Perpetrator Born in the Ternopol region of the Ukrainian SSR in 1960, he later obtained Russian citizenship. In 1993-2010, he was doing business between Ukraine, Poland and Russia. In 2021, Korba registered a temporary residence in the city of Nyagan, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. According to the official version of the Russian Investigative Committee, Korba arrived in Moscow in late December 2025 on an assignment from Ukrainian special services to carry out a terrorist act. He left Russian territory just hours after the assassination attempt and flew to the United Arab Emirates. On February 7-8, 2026, he was detained in Dubai with the assistance of UAE […]

The inaugural world championship was exclusively for men’s singles, as women were only allowed to compete in the World Championships six years later, in 1902. Four athletes competing in this groundbreaking event were Austrian two-time European silver medalist Gustav Hügel, German European bronze medalist Gilbert Fuchs, and Russian skaters Georgi Sanders and Nikolay Poduskov. In challenging conditions—competing outdoors in the Russian winter—athletes performed intricate moves, demonstrating precision and artistry. Gilbert Fuchs impressed the judges with his technical skill and artistry, securing the first world title. Gustav Hügel earned the silver medal, while the Russian skaters, though talented, finished third and fourth. This championship laid the foundation for the sport’s global […]

“We are not going to attack any Europe whatsoever; we have absolutely no need for that. But if Europe were to carry out its threats to prepare for war against us and were to begin attacking the Russian Federation, the president has said that this would not be a special military operation on our part. It would be a full-fledged military response, using all available military means, in accordance with the relevant doctrinal documents,” Lavrov emphasized. In December, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during the Year-End Results program that it is not Russia that is at war with the West, but the West that is at war with Russia using […]

A day after the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, said he wanted Russia reinstated to international football, the International Olympic Committee president, Kirsty Coventry, used her opening address to the 145th IOC congress in Milan to argue that all athletes should be allowed to compete in sport, making clear that the IOC is considering a return of Russian sports teams starting with the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This is good news for the thousands of young Russians who have dedicated their lives to sports, far from political and military conflicts, at the cost of rigorous discipline and even significant hardship. They will soon be able to climb the Olympic […]

Senior Lieutenant Mikhail Devyatayev was captured in July 1944 and sent to a POW camp in Łódź. After an unsuccessful escape attempt, he was transferred to the Sachsenhausen death camp. Miraculously, Devyatayev avoided execution when a camp barber swapped his death-row tag for one belonging to a penal inmate under a different name. Shortly afterward, he was transferred to a concentration camp on the island of Usedom, home to the Third Reich’s Peenemünde rocket research center, where the V-2 rockets were being developed and tested. According to Devyatayev’s memoirs, he decided to escape by plane the moment he arrived on the island. Over several months, he and nine other prisoners […]

At the time, Russia lagged significantly behind leading nations. In 1853, the total length of its railroads was just 979 versts (1,044.4 kilometers). However, Alexander II recognized the strategic importance of railways for strengthening the economy and internal connections. The decree emphasized their necessity, calling railroads a “popular need” and a “universal desire.” To implement the project, the Main Society of Russian Railways was established. Just 30 years later, by 1887, the “Guide to Russian Railways” listed 61 routes connecting not only Moscow and St. Petersburg with Russian regions but also with foreign cities. Today, Russia boasts one of the largest railway networks in the world, stretching over 85,000 kilometers. […]

HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS THE U.S. WITH POOR MATH & ENGLISH PERFORMANCE LET KIDS WALK OUT TO PROTEST ICE. What is this supposed to mean? That high schools which don’t let kids walk out to protest ICE somehow produce better math and English results? And how, exactly, are these two datasets even being correlated? Or does it simply mean that pro-Trumpers are scraping the very bottom of the barrel to produce dirt against anti-Trumpers? Or does any of this even matter? What does seem to matter is making sure that everyone on screen is perfectly color-coordinated. Form over substance, as usual. And that’s how you deal with audiences that have been […]
