Itʼs good to be the president. Meduza spoke to contractors who helped build Vladimir Putinʼs alleged seaside palace. Also, new blueprints reveal a subterranean fortress, multiple «aqua-discos,» and more.

Earlier this month, Alexey Navalny and his team of anti-corruption researchers published an investigative report about a lavish seaside palace supposedly built as a private retreat for Vladimir Putin. Despite expressing «zero interest» in Navalnyʼs allegations, the Kremlin has spent much of the past two weeks repeatedly and energetically trying to refute the «palace» story. Navalnyʼs two-hour documentary film (which has now been viewed more than 101 million times on YouTube) features drone footage of a grandiose residence on Cape Idokopas — a private construction project known formally on paperwork as «the Praskoveyevka Pensionat.» According to Navalnyʼs calculations, more than 100 billion rubles ($1.3 billion) has been spent to build the retreat. The money supposedly came from the presidentʼs friends and various affiliated firms. To learn more about Vladimir Putinʼs supposed sanctuary, Meduza tracked down multiple people who spent years working at the construction site in Praskoveyevka, and we studied documents related to the project.

His Benz Patent Motorwagen was patented on 29 January 1886 as DRP-37435: “automobile fueled by gas.

1886 – Karl Benz patents the first successful gasoline-driven automobile

It featured wire wheels (unlike carriages’ wooden ones) with a four-stroke engine of his own design between the rear wheels, with a very advanced coil ignition and evaporative cooling rather than a radiator.

Václav Havel on Post-Totalitarianism | aleksey godin

Between the aims of the post-totalitarian system and the aims of life there is a yawning abyss: while life, in its essence, moves toward plurality, diversity, independent self-constitution, and self-organization, in short, toward the fulfillment of its own freedom, the post-totalitarian system demands conformity, uniformity, and discipline. While life ever strives to create new and improbable structures, the post-totalitarian system contrives to force life into its most probable states. The aims of the system reveal its most essential characteristic to be introversion, a movement toward being ever more completely and unreservedly itself, which means that the radius of its influence is continually widening as well. This system serves people only to the extent necessary to ensure that people will serve it. Anything beyond this, that is to say, anything which leads people to overstep their predetermined roles is regarded by the system as an attack upon itself.

Finding The Rhyme

yaskhan

I send my words into the sky
Watch them rhyme and then fly.

I close my eyes and feel the air
Forgotten words lost without care.

I take the letters in my hand
And put them on a poetic stand.

I scribe the words on a starlit scroll
Watch words take shape as night unfolds.

My dreams drift from a soul that bleeds
In the blue of ink, fractured lines freed.

I run my hands over my words
My fingers feel the emotions stirred.

With tender ease, the poetry glides
From my page to your eyes.

HOW I WISH…..

Unlocking The Hidden Me

#poetry #reminiscence #repost

How I wish…

Oh how I wish to turn back my life’s pages

And be a child

Sitting in my mother’s arm

Feeling every bit of coziness and calm

To do big blunders and go off easily

To cry as much and not be judged

Oh how I wish..

To fall off a dozen time

But always be on cloud nine

To eat like a horse

And not caring of course

To have that cute laughing Buddha belly

And still be called a strawberry jelly

Oh how I wish..

To hold my father’s hand

And go with him buying chocolates

To be yelled upon

But not giving it a damn

To not caring about penny

And be an albatross around the neck of your nanny

Oh how I wish..

To quarrel with my brothers

And get them scolded by my father

To befool my sister

And…

Your Journey, Not Theirs

“Comparison is the thief of joy”- Teddy Roosevelt

I have discoveredthat there is an infinite number of things and people upon which we can potentially compare ourselves to. And with how flooded we are by social media nowadays, it’s easier than ever to habitually find someone who seems to be living a “better” life than us, which only serves to make us feel miserable about ourselves. You have probably, at some point, felt the animosity boil in your blood, and your fists clenching by the envy surging up your brain. But the truth is, we have all been there! Unfortunately, once we drive down the road of jealousy, there is never an end.

Jealousy definitely plays a deadly role of stealing the joy from our lives, since we are continually tapering off our self-confidence in thinking that someone is better than us. But some times, we compare ourselves against inaccurate…

Recipe for Despair

normabobb

We are all at the core simple human beings but there are opportunistic people who because we are inexperienced prey on our need to belong, to be loved and to be wanted. The next time someone whispers sweet nothings in your ears, or they appeal to you through mega phones, ask of them “what do you want from me?” Regardless of how honest their answer seem to be remember wolves are always on parade as human beings. If you don’t watch your back, no one else would.
