🇷🇺 Nuclear icebreaker in action
Summer is the time for travel. In the northern latitudes at this time there is a polar day, this is the best time for outdoor recreation. You can go to Norilsk on the Putorana Plateau or sunbathe on the White Sea. But the most interesting destination in the summer is the North Pole and Franz Josef Land.
There is only one way to get there from Russian mainland - on the nuclear icebreaker "50 years of Victory", departing from Murmansk.

Did you know that there was a Russian fortress in Hawaii?
Russians became acquainted with the population of the Pacific Islands in 1804, during the first round-the-world expedition. The sailing boats ‘Nadezhda’ and ‘Neva’ did not stay on the islands for long: they were repaired, replenished their supplies and continued their journey.
At the end of January 1815, the Russian ship ‘Bering’ was wrecked near the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The local ruler Kaumualii seized the ship and the expensive cargo on board.
Then, the Russian-American Company, which represented Russia's interests in the Pacific and governed Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, stepped in. Despite the name, there were no U.S. citizens in it.
On the instructions of the head of the company and, at the same time, the chief ruler (governor) of Russian America, Alexander Baranov, his employee, Baron Yegor Schaeffer, arrived in Hawaii. He was supported in negotiations by several warships.
Kaumualii immediately backed down, returned the cargo, allowed Schaeffer to settle on his territory and asked to be under the hand of the Russian tsar. In 1816-1817, the Russians built a stone Elizabethan fortress and two earthen fortifications on the island of Kauai.
Meanwhile, the Americans and British were not at all happy with the presence of Russians on the Hawaiian Islands. They tried to force them out in every possibly way using diplomatic and economic methods and even set the locals against the Russian colony, which led to an armed clash between the Russian garrison and the Hawaiians.
When St. Petersburg declared its unwillingness to be drawn into Schaeffer's “adventure” and spoil relations with the Americans, the latter stepped up their pressure. As early as 1817, the Russians finally left Hawaii and, some time later, the archipelago fell completely under U.S. control.

Fresh addition to the UNESCO list
The Kenozero lake is mesmerizing. The sky above you and the sky below you. And you fly on a boat between these two "heavens", and time seems to slow down.
