Why bombing Moscow is crutially important? Because there is two russias - the one inside MKAD (Moscow) and outside MKAD - everything else. No one inside MKAD cares what happens outside MKAD if it has no effect on Moscow's life quality. Let's talk MKAD It's where Russia ends and also-Russia begins. Muscovites have a word for everyone who lives outside it: замкадыши — "those beyond the MKAD." They use it the way you'd say "provincial." Gently condescending at best. Openly contemptuous at worst. This goes back to Stalin. Moscow was built to impress — foreign delegations, propaganda films, the face of the Soviet dream. So it got the food, the clinics, the culture, the careers. The rest of the country got to watch. Fast forward to 2022. Look at who's coming home in zinc coffins from Ukraine. It's not the Arbat kids. It's Buryatia. Tuva. Dagestan. Places so far outside the MKAD they might as well be a different country — because functionally, they are. The empire always worked like this. Moscow consumes. The regions provide. Sons, grain, votes, silence. Nothing about this is new. What's new is that it's happening in real time, with names and faces, and everyone can see it. The ring road is 109 km long. The gap it marks has been growing for a hundred years.
🚨 Une brésilienne a refusé de céder le siège côté hublot, qu'elle avait payé, à un enfant en pleurs. Filmée, devenue virale et critiquée, elle poursuit désormais la compagnie aérienne et la passagère pour atteinte à la vie privée. Ce qui n’était qu’un simple désaccord dans un avion s’est transformé en polémique mondiale après la diffusion de la scène sur les réseaux sociaux. Aujourd’hui, la passagère contre-attaque en justice, relançant le débat : avait-elle tort… ou le vrai problème est-il d’avoir été filmée et exposée publiquement ? ✈️ (via Daily Mail)
