A sudden question

[the-ones-of-ghost]

Kennith, did you broadcast the Ostankino TV tower in August 1991?

Kennith: It was tough getting past security, but it was easy other than that.

In a new post on Instagram, 73-year-old Russian pop star Alla Pugacheva addressed her critics in the wake of her recent anti-war statement.

My God! What a joy it is to be hated by the very same people I’ve never been able to stand. If they were fans of mine, it would mean I've sung and lived in vain. The reason is clear. Let them grind their teeth. THEY WERE SERFS, NOW THEY’RE SLAVES.

The singer didn’t indicate exactly who she was referring to.

In late September, sources told the news outlets Izvestia and Channel Five that Pugacheva, who returned to Russia in August, had left the country again. The Telegram channel Mash claimed Pugacheva returned to Russia in order to put real estate she owns up for sale. Pugacheva’s concert director declined to comment on the report.

In response to the media reports that Pugacheva had left Russia for a second time, a message appeared on the screen on Moscow’s Ostankino Tower that read, “Alla, why the fuck did you come?” Meanwhile, a digital sign on Moscow’s Novy Arbat Avenue showed a picture of Pugacheva alongside fictional dates for concerts in Ukraine’s occupied territories.

On September 18, Alla Pugacheva asked Russia’s Justice Ministry to add her to its “foreign agent” registry after her husband, comedian Maxim Galkin, was named a “foreign agent” the previous day. In the request, she referred to her husband as a “true patriot of Russia” and criticized Russia’s war against Ukraine. Soon after, the post was reported to Russian police.

Glarthir, everyone's favorite wood elf

This elf definitely knows too much, and that's why you will never contact him in public. Everything in Tamriel goes just as he thought. Nothing happens without his attention. Every organization, including the notorious Mythic dawn, wants our little wood elf dead.

So when you meet him Skingrad, please don't leave his serious warnings without proper attention. Talk to him and do what he asks. Follow people he will find suspicious, and you should never doubt their criminal intentions. The results will definitely not disappoint you...

The Glarthir's obsession with crazy conspiracy theories and constant paranoia and fear aren't unfamiliar to me, since I am a citizen of Russia, which went batshit crazy recently. Turn on Russian television and you'll learn that Americans develop biological weapons in Ukraine that only kill slavic people or all Ukrainians are Satanists.

I even think Glarthir may have left Tamriel for good and relocated to the Ostankino TV tower in Moscow. If so, I warmly welcome Glarthir to my motherland, he will be the great asset to our propaganda machine.

‘I would note,’ clearing his throat said Colonel Smirnov to Timur Timurovich, ‘decidedly phallic quality of the fact that the patient seems to always be seeing dicks. You caught that? The antenna, the rocket, the Ostankino tower?’ ‘You, military men, are terribly literal.’ spoke up Timur Timurovich. ‘Things aren't so simple. 'Russia cannot be grasped by logic', as the saying goes - but neither can it be entirely reduced to sexual neurosis. So we shan't rush the conclusions. What’s important, the cathartic effect is quite evident, if somewhat attenuated.’ ‘Yes,’ agreed the colonel, ‘the chair even broke.’

Top 12 Places to Visit in Moscow

Top 12 Places to Visit in Moscow Russia’s 860-year-old capital, Moscow is epic in every sense of the word. This one city alone makes it well worth applying for a Russian tourist visa. Bursting with history and with a culture of its own, even a brief visit to Moscow is an unforgettable experience. Best of all, Russian visa application processes have been significantly streamlined and simplified over recent years. So if you’re setting your sights on an eastern odyssey this year, here are the 12 must-see attractions to check out while exploring Moscow: Top 12 Places to Visit in Moscow 1. Red Square Perhaps the single most iconic open space in the city is positioned right outside the walls of the Kremlin at the very heart of Moscow. Also within a stone’s throw of other major attractions such as Saint Basil’s Cathedral, Kremlin, Gum, State Museum, Alexander garden, and Kazan Cathedral. 2. Saint Basil’s Cathedral Speaking of which, Saint Basil’s Cathedral is one of the most photographed and generally treasured churches in the world. It’s a fantasy gingerbread-house design and construction dating all the way back to 1555. 3. Moscow Kremlin The Kremlin itself is an imposing fortified complex in the city centre, which is of course the HQ of the Russian government. Surprisingly, much of its enormous 27-hectare area is open to tourists for exploration. 4. GUM If you’re in need of a spot for retail therapy, GUM is a contender for the finest shopping mall in Russia. Be prepared to be blown away by the most magnificent interiors and lavish décor imaginable. 5. Cathedral of Christ the Saviour Completed as recently as 1997, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a simply awe-inspiring structure that has to be seen to be believed. 6. Bolshoi Theatre One of the most famous (and largest) opera and ballet theatres in the world, the Bolshoi Theatre is a cultural treasure the whole of Russia is fiercely proud of.  If you have the opportunity to take in a show, don’t pass it up! 7. Ostankino Tower The striking Ostankino Tower is Europe’s largest free-standing structure, topping out at an impressive 540 metres. There’s an observation deck at 340 metres that commands incredible panoramic views. 8. Tretyakov Gallery One of the dozens of incredible museums worth checking out in Moscow, the Tretyakov Gallery is perhaps the most spectacular. 62 rooms house more than 100,000 works of art, dating all the way back to the 10th century. 9. Gorky Park Also referred to more clumsily as the Central Park of Rest and Culture, Gorky Park is a beautiful open space on the banks of the Moscow River and the perfect place to enjoy the best of the weather. 10. Pushkin Museum If you only have time to check out a couple of museums, make sure the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Art is one of them. The only thing more impressive than its collection of 700,000 works of art is the building in which they are housed. 11. Peter the Great Statue The statue of Peter the Great was officially unveiled in 1997 on the 850th anniversary of the city. This impressive monument measures 98 metres in height, making it the tallest monument in Europe and one of the biggest in the world. 12. Planetarium Last but not least, Moscow’s Planetarium is a firm favourite among repeat visitors and for a very good reason. Along with being a fascinating facility in its own right, it’s also right on the doorstep of Moscow Zoo – also worth checking out during your visit. If you need Russian visa support and advice ahead of your visit, organise a consultation at the earliest possible date to avoid complications further down the line. via Blogger https://ift.tt/qYz6GEp March 19, 2023 at 09:05PM

Здесь должен был быть пост про церемонию открытия, но что-то пошло не так, стоило мне оказаться на кухне... На фоне шло некое шоу детских талантов, и мое внимание привлекло вступительное интервью. Мать конкурсанта эмоционально рассказывала, как она переживает за своего сына, когда тот выступает или тренируется. И я решила посмотреть, что же там тако��о захватывающего. НИЧЕГО. На сцене стоял гибрид из мужских параллельных брусьев и перекладины. Я уже загорелась в предвкушении трюков, но самым захватывающим из весьма короткого представления была музыка. Это, конечно, хорошо, что мальчик болтается на брусьях, а не на улице, другого слова я не могу подобрать. Но давайте откровенно, это наглая подмена понятий. Найдите в сети записи выступлений или хотя бы тренировок наших мальчишек из спортивной гимнастики. Только когда будете смотреть, не ешьте в этот момент и, вообще, лучше сядьте и отложите все дела. Вот где драйв, харизма и ШОУ, хотя это программы из стандартных упражнений. Вот где герои... И это лишь маленький пример того, как подменяют понятия, героев и ценности. Подумайте на досуге.

Metro last light benchmark not responding

METRO LAST LIGHT BENCHMARK NOT RESPONDING PORTABLE

The gauge has 2 lines on it, one white, and one red. There is a pressure gauge on the backside indicating how much gas is left to use to light the fuel aflame, and a crank on the right side of the weapon to refill the gauge, and thus the flamethrower must be pumped like the Tihar and the Helsing to remain effective. Like its Last Light counterpart, and air powered weapons like the Tihar and Helsing, the flamethrower has both ammo and air (propane or another flammable gas in this case) that need to be watched for maximum effectiveness. This is the only time you can pick it up, as there are no longer any shops to visit at this point in the game, and there are not any dropped in D6 or at Ostankino Tower. It is first picked up automatically during Dark Star, replacing the mounted version.

METRO LAST LIGHT BENCHMARK NOT RESPONDING PORTABLE

The portable flamethrower makes a comeback in the Metro 2033 Redux version, and is quite like its Last Light counterpart. Like with the gatling, flamethrower users prefer the portable version in this game. The stationary Metro 2033 version is no longer seen in Last Light, and later replaced by the portable version in Metro 2033 Redux. It's also used in the Spider Lair mission, which is highly effective against spiderbugs and other mutants encountered. However, a hand-held flamethrower is found in the Developer Pack - this version must be hand cranked to fire. Although it was hinted that it was going to be usable in game, the flamethrower does not appear in the main campaign. After Pavel drags Artyom into the airlock, two soldiers armed with flamethrowers rush in front of them and kill the remaining watchers. The portable and mounted variant both reappeared in Redux version.Ī portable version of the flamethrower appears at the end of the chapter " Echoes". In Metro: Last Light, portable versions are seen but not useable until DLC missions. The mounted variant of the flamethrower is only usable in Metro 2033. Like DShK machine gun, the flamethrower will overheat after sustained use, but doesn't run out of the fuel. On the way to D6, during the " Dark Star" level, Artyom can use a flamethrower mounted on the Ranger's railcar against waves of nosalises forced into the tunnel by an approaching Anomaly. It's used by the Riga militia to burn a horde of nosalises chasing the caravan. The very first flamethrower is seen by Artyom on the way to Riga station. Its ruggedness renders it incapable of sustaining a continuous stream of fire for a long time and although its fuel is virtually unlimited, overheating problems often arise. The narrow nature of the Metro tunnels makes it frighteningly effective against human and mutant opponents alike. Flamethrowers are highly revered weapons known for a multitude of capabilities including raw offensive and defensive power, and a reputation as tools of psychological warfare.
