🇷🇺🇺🇸A girl from the USA, Luna Fenner, returned to Russia to undergo a new surgery. Four years ago, Russian doctors were able to remove a big birthmark from her face: a complex procedure they refused to carry out in the States. Now St. Petersburg specialists will remove the scars due to which the girl’s eyes do not close completely. She will have her first surgery on April 19, her mother announced on social media. In 2021, a doctor from Krasnodar, Pavel Popov, removed a birthmark that could have caused cancer. Dr. Popov himself, in a conversation with RT, said that the oncologists had already completed their work, now the mother wants to “take care of the beauty” of Luna. Via @rt_russian 🔴@DDGeopolitics

🚩 The design of the USSR flag was adopted 100 years ago today, on April 18th, 1924. Having undergone several design changes, on April 8, 1924, a detailed description of the flag of the Soviet Union was approved: the length to width ratio and the width of all symbols. Also, there was a golden stripe framing the canton containing the hammer and sickle symbol in the top left corner of the flag. (inscription on the picture above) The Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, after eliminating the golden stripe framing the canton, on April 18, 1924, approved the flag design “based on Art. 71 of the Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics decree the following detailed description of the state flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The flag is red (or scarlet), rectangular, with a length to width ratio of 2:1. In the upper left corner there is a golden sickle and hammer with a radius of 1/6 the width of the flag; above the hammer and sickle there is a red five-pointed star surrounded by a golden border; the diameter of the star is 1/10 the width of the flag.” This flag, with minor changes, existed until the breakup of the Soviet Union. 🚩 Source: https://t.me/PravdaShuravi/16742

https://www.workers.org/2012/world/playa_giron_0426/ On the dawn of April 17, the mercenary invasion took place, named by its organizers, “Operation Pluto.” The invader contingent was coordinated by Brigade 2506, with more than 1,500 men and five ships of war of the United States and escorted by other naval units, also North American. They disembarked at two points on the Bay of Pigs (Girón Beach and Long Beach), with the purpose of establishing a beachhead and constituting a provisional counter-revolutionary government. They chose the place well, but they didn’t keep in mind two factors: the indissoluble unity between the people and their Revolution, and the strategic capacity and tactics of Fidel Castro and of the leaders of the Revolution. During the invasion, the mercenaries exhorted the Cubans to surrender, but these men responded vigorously: “We don’t surrender! We are for Homeland or Death!”

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation for April 16, 2024 Last night, Ukrainian forces once again targeted the Crimean Peninsula, launching 12 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles. The airfield in Dzhankoy was hit, resulting in damage to equipment and a building. Additionally, several drones of the AFU were downed over Mordovia and Tatarstan. Russian troops also engaged enemy targets in multiple regions of Ukraine. In Chernigov, the Profsoyuznaya hotel, housing personnel of the 5th separate communications regiment of the AFU, was struck. In the Seversky region, Russian forces conducted air strikes and utilized FPV drones against enemy positions, personnel, and equipment near Vyemka, as well as in Sporny and Verkhnekamensky. Heading towards Chasov Yar, Russian Armed Forces units in the Bakhmut area stormed enemy positions near school No. 77 on the eastern outskirts. The AFU resorted to chaotic mining of exits from the Kanal microdistrict towards the city. In the Avdeevsky direction, Russian units advanced along the Umanskoye - Yasnobrodovka line. North of Avdeevka, Russian servicemen progressed towards Novobakhmutovka and Ocheretino. Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye region consolidated in the eastern part of Robotyne, which was previously cleared of Ukrainian formations. The enemy attempted several counterattacks but failed to establish a foothold and retreated to the northern outskirts. 🔻 A comprehensive analytical report on developments in the Special Military Operation zone is accessible on our private channel @rybar_plus_bot.
