Как заявил на минувшей пресс-конференции Владимир Путин, спокойная и размеренная жизнь скучна и оттого россиянам хочется движухи. Впрочем, движуха движухе рознь, замечает художник Вячеслав Шилов. Иная движуха такова, что лучше бы её и не было. Правда, говорить о таких вещах вслух нынче небезопасно.

Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war.

These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time.
