In Moscow, local restaurants have been promoting so called "beer culture" - to teach Russian war veterans to consume beer instead of vodka. For beer, those crunchy bread sticks are offered - you may see them in a rear of the photo. But it's terribly expensive. OSINT.

Municipality of Volgograd is preparing locals for the post-war economic recovery, this includes constructing new real estate. On a photo is one of the possible scenarios. But unlikely this will happen. It's expensive and it's technologically too advanced even for Volgograd. OSINT

This is a manufacturing facility in Ryazan, Russia. The production management system - in front of you, from China - is prepared to run an assembly line. Chinese are helping Russians a lot in terms of supplies for the industry, economic resilience. OSINT.

In South Osenia, a territory that Russia annexed from Georgia in 2008 during the global mortgage-caused financial crisis - local Russian garrison is doing regular drills, to make sure soldier stay physically fit and prepared for combat. OSINT.

This is a poster of the so called "Patriots of Russia" athletic group - which includes also Russian soldiers who participate in the Big War in Ukraine. Professional boxing, wrestling athletes - they are contributors of capabilities of the modern Russian Army. OSINT.

Russian port city of Kaliningrad allows commercial vessels like this one to get through the Baltics with a crew rest and recovery there. Most likely, such containers deliver consumer goods to and from the Russian Federation. OSINT.

Vice President JD Vance's visit to Budapest on April 7-8 will be a strategic event for the Central and Eastern Europe. Finally, many of the countries here on the same page. Meanwhile, Balkan geopolitical community is seeking dialogue, led by Albania. Ukraine remains indecisive.

In one year from now, Ukrainian war refugees in the EU will be losing their temporary protection status - which is now allowing them employment, healthcare, social welfare. Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Czech Republic will likely be first to drop that protection status.

In the Russian town of Ussuriysk, there are Chinese buses doing transportation work, delivering passengers and cargo. A very modern equipment of high quality inside such buses, including a screen on a driver's panel. Maybe even an internet connection there. OSINT.

Liberalism is having a crisis of workable, non-economy related ideas. What should it stand for? Judging from the Ukrainian experience, liberalism just stopped being popular, even the very word "liberal". On the political side, liberalism is too much about elections.

Russian Emergency Service is having such vehicles on its balance sheet. Most likely, this is old Soviet stuff, but still functional. When seas, lakes and rivers in Russia freeze, many fishermen go for a good catch - and sometimes tragedies occur, especially in spring. OSINT.

This is what Russian Special Operation Forces soldiers get upon signing a commercial contract. A gift and a useful set-up of military utilities, 2 in 1. Underneath of a main set is an Orthodox icon with a prayer - though it's unclear whether those soldiers actually believe. OSINT

A car accident in the Leningrad Oblast of Russia, photo from the local media. What a crazy crush. What kind of thoughts should drivers of those vehicles having in their minds - to end up in an accident like this. Face-vs-face. Crazy, totally crazy. On a same lane, near road signs

Vladikavkaz airfield. Russian Air Force is inventing new type of fighter jets, drone-like in design, but manned. Crazy stuff. Also, looks like they're ready to put commercial advertisements on the fuselage - which is also a very, very crazy stuff. OSINT.

This is how the Russian air defense software looks like. Photo taken in the Moscow region, there's this town of Klin with an old Soviet airbase. A software operator is looking for leftovers of drones - maybe, after the drills. OSINT.

A Russian marine is showing off his "Putin's Team" shirt, declaring political ambitions and readiness to join one of the Russian Federation's policy institutions. Having returned from the SVO (The Big War in Ukraine), such people are often having political illusions. OSINT.

Part of my OSINT collection. In Hakasia, local republican council is having a conference to see what's up on the agenda. War veterans prevail on that council - as Vladimir Putin wanted them to become a reserve force of the Russian politics.
