    My new favorite video is this Belarusian forest ranger answering a call in the woods while a giant grouse sits on his back performing a mating ritual. "Yes, I am just a bit busy at work... Yes yes, I am listening..."

    This is just great - a roofer plays around with concept of "square meter" and the Russian obsession with acquired living space

    It's honestly beyond me, this release could have been an opportunity for great, politically easy publicity for Russia, why execute it in a way that discredits the whole idea knowing how many people around the world watching? (rhetorical question)

    More from orca researchers who were not invited to observe the release today: the animals weren't fed or rested after 7 day journey. The pair may be old enough to hunt but some remaining orcas are not. That's why all should have been freed together.

    Bittersweet release of 8 Russian orcas and belugas: the whole world waited so long for this, then it was done in just about the worst way and with no independent oversight.

    "I’m convinced that Yalta is the Santa Barbara (or maybe La Jolla) of Russia. From certain vantage points, it hints of the Hollywood Hills." 🙄

    Conference with Kremlin spokesman today: Journalists: a poll just came out according to which 1 in 10 Russians have been tortured in police custody, could you comment? Kremlin spokesman: We have about 30 people on the call today, so how many of you have been tortured?

    Great look back at the "Anti-Alcohol" exhibit in the Tretyakov gallery in 1929. Some fairly innocent paintings with slogans like "Radio instead of vodka!" and "Alcohol ruins precise movements" not to mention shooting aim.

    Another one for the collection of odd Russian town emblems, the town of Epifan has three cannabis plants on black earth - apparently was quite a producer back in the day.

    Photo taken at Tula's lovely new Machine Tool museum. Also recommend the bike tours offered at Yasnaya Polyana museum.

    Leo Tolstoy learned to ride a bike at 67 after buying an English-made Rover bicycle. Back then you needed a license to operate one in Moscow and he passed the test even though he kept knocking women off their bikes while practicing.

    Orca researcher Tatiana Ivkovich confirms no marine mammal experts are involved with this sudden release, only fishing firms that illegally captured them. Nobody knows which two orcas were shipped out. Worrying.

    That this was clearly timed for Putin's marathon q/a is also concerning. In the past, several rare animals used for Putin's publicity purposes were harmed, according to scientists. I wrote about this several years ago:

    Russian fisheries agency, which illegally allowed to catch 11 orcas last summer, says it is letting two of them go. Seemingly a secret operation, and unclear why only two, as scientists advised freeing all as a group that can form a pod

    Journalist from Sochi Nikolai Yarst tells his own story about how police planted drugs in his car. His case was closed but most of the officers kept their jobs. He has since left Russia - who can blame him?

    I only watched the first two of the six bits of this documentary, but really enjoyed it, worth watching for everyone interested in Russia and full of nostalgia for the old Runetchiki.
