Something that is becoming hard to find are Russian tea glasses with the holders. Not at all available in Kimovsk. In Tula I have found a limited number for sale at one place where they sell samovar and at the military museum.

Here's a video proof by a Ukrainian driver who drove by two gas stations to prove that there are no queues for fuel.

Vorobey and Rus met in the SVO, although they grew up in neighboring districts of Volgograd. Both matured early: they supported their families and raised younger siblings. When their younger siblings grew up, they went to fight in the war of their generation.
Vorobey is a poet whose poems support his fellow soldiers and resonate on social media. Rus is a hero: on his birthday, he shielded a wounded soldier from an enemy drone. At the front, they became combat couriers for the "Ornitologists" (a reconnaissance company of the 57th Motorized Rifle Regiment) – delivering essentials to the front lines, risking their lives on every mission.
After the SVO, the friends dream of simple things – a home and a family. They are not men of war – simply those who care. Watch episode 21 of the "SVOI" project—about those we tend to ...
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy eight years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
