- As Russia's regional governments have been given the freedom to apply their own approach to coronavirus quarantine, the methods they employ have raised widespread concern.
In the Saratov region, long, dense lines of people waited for special work passes, while in Kaliningrad a horde of people gathered in front of an immigration office.
This ignores Russia's consumer health watchdog's guideline to stay at a minimum of 1.5-2 meters apart from one another in order to minimize the risk of contracting Covid-19.

- Description
- During the Soviet era, it wasn't uncommon for people in big cities to share a single apartment with up to 20 other people — often sharing just one bathroom and kitchen.
Half a century later, with rents in central Moscow and St. Petersburg soaring, some people still live in these kommunalka apartments out of necessity.
We took a look at everyday life inside one of these dwellings.

- Ding Ding, a giant panda at the Moscow Zoo, took a tumble last week when she tried to climb a fir tree to no avail.
Ding Ding and her companion, Ru Vi, were loaned to the Moscow Zoo from China as part of a research project.
The Moscow Zoo first requested the transfer of the pandas in 2016 as part of an "international program for the conservation, protection and research of pandas."
You can also watch the pandas daily shenanigans on a live-stream video on the zoo's website through the eight cameras installed in the animals' enclosure.

- In the past few years, tourism to Murmansk, a remote Russian city north of the Arctic Circle, has increased dramatically.
According to official estimates, 450,000 tourists visited the region in 2019 — and 40% of these were Chinese.
In Chinese tradition, conceiving a baby under the Northern Lights is believed to bring good luck to the baby. We went north to Murmansk to see if this belief is true and see how much the growing tourism industry has transformed the city.

- New Archival Footage Shows Putin Dancing With George W. Bush | The Moscow Times

- Description
- The Kremlin has released archival videos and photos of the president to mark President Vladimir Putin's 20 years in power as both president and prime minister of Russia.
In this published video from 2008, Putin can be seen dancing to a folk song with then-U.S. President George W. Bush.
Bush was visiting Putin in Sochi after the U.S. president had pushed for Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO at the Western military bloc’s 2008 summit.
When the leaders met for the first time in 2001, Bush said that he was able to “get a sense of [Putin’s] soul.”
Putin would later visit Bush at his ranch in Texas and at the Bush family compound in Maine.
Sochi was the last time the two leaders met as presidents, as Putin stepped down and became prime minister a month later.

- Russian Poachers Are Going After Musk, the “Gold of Siberia” | The Moscow Times

- Description
- The musk deer — a small species of deer native to the republic of Altai in Russia — is an unassuming source of what locals call “Siberian gold.”
But his musk, which is believed to have healing properties in Chinese medicine, can sell for as much as $200 per gram. Although the musk deer is listed as an endangered species, poachers have run rampant since the fall of the U.S.S.R., trafficking this precious substance as a way of life.
This cute and small animal equipped with two fangs on the end of this muzzle is more and more the prey of poachers since the end of the USSR.
We took a journey into the Siberian forest with a nature reserve inspector who is hunting these poachers and fighting to save this species.

- Dozens of emaciated polar bears surrounded the village of Ryrkapiy in Chukotka, Siberia over the past few days.
Experts say the polar bears were forced to seek out food near the village due to warming temperatures in the region.
Although villagers are used to seeing polar bears, this amount was bewildering even to them.
In order to prevent run-ins between the locals and bears, all public events have been cancelled, and rangers patrol the village.
Events like these have been occurring with increasing frequency as the bears move inland to find food, scientists say.
