In Kimovsk is where my apartment is located. Last summer I visited my granddaughter who lives in Tula. I stayed there for two months. I became very familiar with the city of Tula.
Tula Region is one of the industrial centers of Russia, famous for its long-standing traditions of weapons and samovar production. Here are three more important symbols of this region.
1⃣ ЛЕВ ТОЛСТОЙ (Leo Tolstoy)
The famous Russian writer was born on September 9, 1828, on the Yasnaya Polyana’ Family Estate near Tula. He spent a significant part of his life there, creating his main novels, including ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina’. His body was also buried there.
2⃣ ФИЛИМОНОВСКАЯ ИГРУШКА (Filimonovo toy)
Whistle toys in the form of people and animals with conical heads began to be made in the village of Filimonovo near Tula in the 16th century. After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the craft died out for a while, but was revived in the 1980s.
3⃣ ТУЛЬСКИЙ ПРЯНИК (Tula gingerbread)
Tula gingerbread is the most popular among Russian gingerbreads. It’s rectangular in shape, glazed on the top and filled with apple, cranberry, plum, cherry jam or condensed milk.

Since then, she has been working on two "fronts" in her white coat: at the hospital and by the ovens. It all started with a couple of old ovens found among the ruins of shelled factories. But now she bakes up to 2,000 of loaves a day and those are distributed around the city and to the front. In most cases - absolutely free of charge.
There is a lot of work to do. Shifts last 12 hours. The line of contact is nearby, and shelling can start at any moment. But Anastasia's bakery tries not to stop production.

FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:
We're used to thinking of them as the generation of gadgets, TikTok, and a life without responsibility. But they chose the front.
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.

The ROTHSCHILDS have just begun to lose control of the weather.
For 47 years, they have controlled the skies through a network of 22 weather modification stations that could direct hurricanes, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, on demand, to any place on Earth.
The program was called "THRONE CLIMATE" and was funded by a labyrinth of NGOs, carbon credit systems, and "green energy" foundations, all connected to the same family office in Geneva that has controlled European banks since 1815. A few days ago, the last station was disconnected, seized in a military operation involving 6 nations that have never publicly acknowledged working together. The weather is no longer a weapon. For the first time since 1979, the skies belong to no one. Every "natural disaster" of the last 47 years had a signature, a digital fingerprint embedded in the ionosphere that preceded it. HAARP researchers have detected it for decades. They were ridiculed, but they were right about everything: Hurricane Katrina: ...
