“Masha asks: ‘Mom, why in Russia have I never seen the principal at school? But here, he walks around the halls as if he has no other business?'”

By the way, here every morning the principal greets the children at the entrance. And then he visits them too. // 23.02

Today, Masha’s class teacher came to school wearing a hockey mask with ‘Ovechkin’ written on the back. During the break, she asked Masha, ‘Do you know who Ovechkin is? He lives nearby. He even visited our school.’ // 18.02

Check our blog for what’s inside them.

Today, after all those snows and storms, a scent of spring has appeared – plus 62 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 17 degrees Celsius. And sun!

Context: Speaking on February 16 at the US — ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit in California, Obama stated that Russia is one of the strongest military powers, and “a bunch [of Syrian] rebels, obviously, are not capable of competing with their weaponry against the world’s second most powerful army.”

Rogozin tweets: “Well, maybe not the first yet, but definitely not the second, Mr. President!)”

But he didn’t lie, right.
