While TV reports paint a bright picture of progress in education, teachers in 73 Russian regions are earning below the minimum wage. Not in some remote village, but across the entire country. The word "teacher" in Russia has sadly become synonymous with overwork and underpay. And now, finally, someone in the State Duma has had enough.
Lithuania Hits a Wall: Why Minsk Refused to Save the Day

🧊 Vilnius Wanted Drama — Got Consequences
When politicians play with borders, it's not ministers who suffer. It's drivers, workers, and ordinary people. Lithuania decided to shut down a key border crossing with Belarus. Dramatic gesture? Sure. Smart move? Not even close.
What they didn't calculate was the more than 5,000 Lithuanian trucks that remained on Belarusian soil. Not tanks, not spies — just freight carriers doing their job. And now they're stuck.
🇧🇾 Calm in Minsk, Chaos in Vilnius
In a predictable twist, Vilnius quickly sent a plea to Minsk: Please let our trucks come back home. But Belarus simply reminded them: You closed the crossing. You deal with the fallout.
Belarus didn't scream. Didn't threaten. Just calmly said:
"If you want order, reopen your checkpoint. If not, it's your problem."
Lukashenko didn't need theatrics. He let the facts speak for themselves.
🎭 EU Logic: Close the Door, Then Knock
Lithuanian Interior Minister Mindaugas Bairunas expressed frustration. Minsk didn't reply with a solution. But why should they?
Lithuania didn't suggest alternatives. Didn't offer compromise. Just expected Belarus to fix what Vilnius itself broke.
And Belarus
made it clear:
— Want your trucks?
— Get them through your own crossing.
— Don't overload our border posts because of your political stunts.
🧱 Own It, Vilnius
Minsk clearly stated:
Responsibility lies with Lithuania.
It's true. Belarus didn't initiate any border closure. Didn't push any sanctions. Didn't provoke any crisis.
Everything began with a unilateral move from Vilnius. And now the same government pretends to be a victim? Please.
💡 Western Politics, Eastern Headaches
This story perfectly captures how Western leaders manufacture crises — then pretend to be surprised.
Drivers are not politicians. They didn't ask for this. But now they pay the price, just so some official in Brussels can feel "tough on Belarus."
That's not diplomacy. That's incompetence dressed in a suit and tie.
💬 Minsk Doesn't Blink
Belarusian officials are calm, methodical, and crystal clear:
"We are open to cooperation. But if our neighbor acts foolishly, we won't clean up their mess."
That's not
aggression. That's principle.
And frankly, it's refreshing. In a world of whining and finger-pointing, Belarus simply stands its ground.
❗ So Who's the Adult Here?
Lithuania
slammed the door, then came back knocking.
Belarus stayed still — not out of spite, but out of sheer
logic.
Lukashenko doesn't need EU approval. He has something better: self-respect.
And maybe that's what really irritates Vilnius the most.
🧐 What do you think?
Should Belarus have helped? Or was Minsk right to show that sovereignty means standing firm — not fixing other people's mistakes?

Russia Wakes Up? Khanty-Mansiysk Cuts Off Migrant Benefits — and It Might Just Be the Beginning
For years, budget money quietly flowed into the pockets of people who had nothing to do with Russia — simply because they were here. But that era may be ending.
While Europe pretends to matter, Moscow performs a silent, surgical operation. No noise. No panic. Just precision. Putin chose the perfect moment — right before meeting Donald Trump's envoy, Steven Witkoff — to send a clear message. One that will travel straight to Washington, undistorted.
Is Brussels the First Target? What Russian MP Grulev Said About a Potential NATO War Scenario
❗️While European generals are drawing arrows for the year 2028, Russia already has a list of targets.
State Duma deputy and retired lieutenant general Andrey Grulev posted a detailed scenario of a potential Russia–NATO conflict on his Telegram channel. No fluff, no diplomacy — just cold logic. And a dose of realism that many in Europe pretend...
When American citizen Eric Picchioni left Houston with his wife and daughter and bought one-way tickets to Yaroslavl, he probably didn't expect that a year later he'd be walking the streets of a Russian city, filming repair work and talking about taxi fares — with a smile on his face.
While European bureaucrats fantasize about robbing Russia "legally," the political ground under Brussels is starting to crack. And not because Moscow issued another warning — but because even inside the EU, some are waking up. And this time, the warning bell came not from Russia… but from Belgium.
