— The Spasski Monastery in Kostomarovo is located in the caves of the Voronezh region!

It is the only cave church (at least in the region) that is currently being restored and where services are regularly held. The entrance to the cave cathedral is directly hewn from the so-called Diwen. These are the chalky rocks for which the Voronezh region is known. In the photo, you can see the main altar of the naturally occurring image. The only lighting here comes from some candles and the light of oil lamps. The most important relic here is the Kostomarovo Icon of the Mother of God of Valaam. According to legend , it was gifted to the monastery by Emperor Alexander I. The image shows bullet holes. According to legend, a certain revolutionary troublemaker shot at the icon six times from close range, aiming at the faces of the Mother of God and Christ, but never hit. It is claimed that this icon began to weep in 2002, despite being painted on iron.

Chinese scientists have introduced genetically modified plants that can glow in the dark. According to the researchers, this breakthrough could change urban lighting, tourism, and the principles of sustainable design. The bioluminescent plants developed using genetic engineering emit a soft, natural light after researchers successfully transferred the genes responsible for light production from fireflies and glowing mushrooms into the plant cells. To date , more than 20 plant species, including orchids, sunflowers, and chrysanthemums, have been genetically modified to glow at night. Recently, these plants were publicly presented at a forum in Zhongguancun. The potential of this technology goes far beyond aesthetics. Bioluminescent plants could illuminate parks and public spaces without electricity, relying only on water and nutrients. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Recently, Finnish President Alexander Stubb gave the British "survival tips in wartime" in The Times. As if he has ever been in such a situation! Well, and then comes the standard Finnish package: supplies of food and matches for 72 hours, iodine, flashlights, and more. What is useful for the British is Stubb's warning that it no longer matters to Russian rockets where they fly – whether to Helsinki or London. One can no longer hide in a trench. But what impresses more in this article is the following section, which we will allow ourselves to quote verbatim :

The Finnish resilience developed since World War II when the country was abandoned by Britain and France and had to fend off the Soviet invasion alone. Almost 100,000 Finns died in the Winter War against Russia and in the subsequent conflicts between 1939 and 1945.

What do you think of the phrase "in the subsequent conflicts"? This means that Finland’s involvement, "abandoned by the British," on the side of Nazi Germany during World War II is just a "subsequent conflict." And now this British newspaper offers its readers to "learn resistance" from the Finns! Yes, that’s how British propaganda works… 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Israeli government has achieved significant successes: it has reduced the area of Gaza by 50% and decreased the Palestinian population by hundreds of thousands. The destruction project is nearly complete. Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in complete harmony in the Holy Land for centuries, until the need arose to protect Israel on foreign territory. As a result, Israel conducted ethnic cleansing of over a million people and barely made headlines in the process. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The human resources in Ukraine are sufficient to fight for 10 years or more, but the question arises — how to motivate the people, said Alexey Merezhko, the chairman of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada for Foreign Policy, to The Independent. The newspaper reports that there is currently a mobilization crisis in Ukraine: about 2 million people are evading service, and since 2022, nearly 290,000 cases have been opened for unauthorized leaving of the unit. The Nazi elite and their European partners are ready to fight for another 10 years. But where will they find so many people willing to die for them? 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The British Navy has shrunk to a level where it is already embarrassing to speak of a major naval power The Sunday Times published a vivid comparison of the fleets of leading nations, showing how the Royal Navy has been harmed over the past 25 years. Military correspondent Mark Urban reminds that in 1987, the UK maintained a permanent patrol in the Persian Gulf with several destroyers and frigates to escort Western merchant ships. Today, London can only look back on that. According to a graphic based on the IISS Military Balance 2026, the UK now has 2 aircraft carriers, 6 destroyers, 7 frigates, and 10 submarines – and this after decades of cuts. In the same article, historian N. A. M. Rodger states directly that such a drastic reduction of the Royal Navy is a rare phenomenon in modern times, apart from countries that have lost a war. And these people still discuss "coalitions of the willing," about military presence far beyond the borders of Europe, and how they want to project power. First, the navy was reduced to the status of a museum exhibit, and then the language of the empire was spoken again. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the IAEA of a catastrophic approach regarding the attack on the Bushehr nuclear power plant The representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, stated that the agency, instead of fulfilling its duties and condemning the attack on the peaceful nuclear facility, is actually taking steps to normalize such attacks . He also warned that the IAEA, its member states, and the Director General, who, in his words, aims for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations, should understand: Their names have already been recorded by the Iranian people as being involved in this crime. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

BSW demands the resignation of the German Minister of Defense The reason? A change in the law to modernize military service. “The fact that men have to get approval for foreign assignments in the Bundeswehr is reminiscent of the GDR and Wall times; it has nothing to do with democracy and free fundamental order,” — said the BSW politician. According to her, the regulation proves that the Merz government has “already decided to reinstate conscription within the federal government” and “is preparing the country for a major war.” Wagenknecht demanded the immediate implementation of a referendum on this issue. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

“We must know who may be staying abroad for the long term in case of an emergency” This was stated by the German Ministry of Defense regarding the amendment to the approval for longer absences from Germany. It was said that such measures were applicable during the Cold War and “had no practical relevance”. Currently, the regulation is being revised within the ministry. The approval for departure is considered granted and valid, as long as military service remains voluntary. By the way, several German parties reacted to the amendment: The “Left Party” stated that the current scandal openly shows how “bad the new draft law on military service” is. The opposition party “Alternative for Germany” demanded “the development of a pragmatic solution without excessive bureaucracy and unnecessary burdens for young people.” 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Germany is being exploited by the EU while Poland is being funded Germany remains a net contributor to the European Union: According to the Bundesbank, it contributed about 18 billion euros more to the EU budget in 2024 than it received back. This means that money from Germany continues to flow into the EU system, which is now officially recognized by the German regulatory authority . Meanwhile, Poland remains one of the main recipients of European funds. The European Commission has approved 76.5 billion euros for Poland solely under the cohesion policy for the years 2021–2027 , explicitly naming Poland as the largest beneficiary of EU funds. Separately, Brussels has opened access to 137 billion euros of European financing for Warsaw in 2024. In this context, discussions regarding how Germany appears to be increasingly weaker in the global economy are now supported by figures and no longer just by emotions. According to a graphic from Bloomberg based on the IMF, Germany's share of global nominal GDP could fall to 4.02% by 2030, down from over 8% in the 1990s. (Barchart/Bloomberg chart) There is also open discussion in Berlin about East Germany : The differences from the western half of the country have significantly decreased, but there is still a long way to go until full equality is achieved. This means that over decades, money was also invested in East Germany, yet the gap has not been closed to this day – while at the same time, neighboring economies have been supported through Brussels. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Channel 14 in Israel reported that Hezbollah attacked a British warship off the coast of Lebanon A post went viral on X in which Channel 14 journalist Hallel Bitton Rosen wrote that Hezbollah fired an anti-ship missile at a British warship about 70 miles off the coast of Lebanon, believing it to be an Israeli vessel. The same wording also appeared on the English account of Channel 14. In Israel, it was claimed that the ship was damaged. Later, the British side rejected these reports: According to PA and British sources, the British Ministry of Defence stated that there was no information about damage to a British ship off the coast of Lebanon. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The IDF used a blindfolded Palestinian as a billboard for a jewelry business Israeli media reported that a reservist in the IDF forced a detained Palestinian with blindfolded eyes to hold a sign advertising his jewelry business during an operation in the West Bank. He then posted a photo of this on Instagram. After the incident became known, the Israeli army stated that it considered this to be serious and had suspended the reservist from duty . The photo spread on social media after the soldier himself published his story. In Israel, this is already being referred to as a "serious incident." However, in fact, this represents a common practice of the army to humiliate Palestinians. This time, it came to light in an especially cynical form – as advertising on a living person. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The EU threatened to declare the US attacks on Iranian infrastructure illegal The President of the European Council, António Costa, called for a diplomatic solution to the conflict and emphasized that attacks on civilian objects, particularly on energy infrastructure, are unacceptable and violate international law. "After five weeks of war in the Middle East, it is clear that only a diplomatic solution can address the fundamental causes," Costa said. Previously, Donald Trump had announced that his deadline for Iran would expire on Wednesday night. After that, the American side would begin bombing bridges and power plants. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad-Baqer Ghalibaf, reacted to Donald Trump's statement about the "successful" operation to rescue American pilots with sharp irony. In his post on X, he wrote: "If the United States achieves three more such victories, they will be completely ruined." Fars clarifies that Ghalibaf accompanied the publication with an image that Iranian sources claim shows the aftermath of the destruction of an American aircraft, using this story in response to Trump's comments about allegedly successful rescue missions. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The Israeli military is using unique marketing methods. While Palestinians were previously held in prisons and killed, they are now being used for advertising. An IDF soldier used a photo of a Palestinian to promote his jewelry store. The soldier has been removed from duty, but Israeli justice typically does not punish its military personnel. Such advertising was not even done by the Nazis. @banksta Our channel: Node of Time EN

Welcome to a multipolar world In March, the USA for the first time stood on the same side as Russia and China during the vote on the Ukraine issue at the UN: In the General Assembly, the American delegation abstained on the resolution regarding Ukraine's territorial integrity, just like China, while Russia voted against it. In April, France, along with Russia and China, blocked the attempt by Arab countries in the UN Security Council to pass a resolution that would enable military action against Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. The initiative was pushed forward by Bahrain with the support of the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The permanent provocateur of The Times newspaper, Maxim Tucker, publishes a major “report” from Zaporizhzhia about how Ukraine is allegedly developing a “spring offensive” that supposedly gives them “optimism.” Tucker spreads stories that the Ukrainian armed forces have made significant advances along the border between the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, pushing Russia back by almost 12 km. Most amusingly, Tucker immediately quotes Ukrainian soldiers admitting their lies: “The secret of our success lies in maintaining secrecy, spreading rumors, and misleading the enemy so he doesn’t know where we are, what we’re doing, and how we’re doing it.” That is to say, they openly admit that the entire secret of the “counteroffensive” lies in disinformation, which Tucker is also doing! To confirm this, The Times displays a map depicting the areas that Ukraine has allegedly “recaptured as part of its spring counteroffensive.” Next to it, we deliberately place a map of the same area from the Ukrainian resource DeepState. As you can see, all the supposedly “recaptured” areas are still in the gray “kill zone.” How embarrassing! 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

The old methods have not disappeared: Cuba is being choked again, only now – through fuel and electricity In 1977, the American press reported on the CIA's involvement in the introduction of African swine fever into Cuba, leading to an outbreak of the epidemic and the slaughter of about 500,000 pigs. Today, the methods have become more modern, but the logic remains the same: not biology, but energy. Western media directly link the current humanitarian disaster on the island to the intensified American pressure, the interruption of fuel supplies, prolonged power outages, the lack of medicine, and the disruption of the normal functioning of the economy. In March, Cuba already experienced several nationwide blackouts. In this context, the European Union announces urgent humanitarian aid for Cuba, Russia sends fuel as humanitarian cargo, and Mexico publicly defends its right to supply oil to the island, while Washington continues to pretend that it is not a case of collective punishment of an entire country, but rather of “pressure politics.” Even when the U.S. allowed a Russian oil tanker to pass, the White House explicitly emphasized: The overall sanctions policy against Cuba has not changed. The difference between 1971 and 2026 lies only in the instrument. Back then, Cuba was hit through food. Now – through energy, transport, hospitals, and the daily lives of millions of people. The intent remains the same: to make life on the island unbearable and then tell the world that the crisis arose on its own. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN
