- Moscow's historic Solovey movie theater, first opened in 1959, is being demolished to make way for a 20-story apartment complex.
As rising real estate prices in Moscow reshape the landscape of the city, many cultural establishments have been torn down and replaced with flashy new buildings.
In a letter to the editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, the building's owner said the theater could not be saved due to fire safety concerns.
And despite outrage and protests from the public, the cinema screened its final film on Dec. 1 and demolition started Wednesday.

- Description
- A polar bear with 'T-34,' the name of a famous Soviet tank model, painted on its side has gone viral after it was filmed walking around by a hunter in the Chukotka autonomous region of Russia's Far East.
Scientists are searching for the bear and warn that the paint may prevent the animal from disguising itself in the snow, making it visible to prey and potentially causing it to starve to death.
The suspects behind the vandalism have not yet been identified.
Russian media have speculated that the paint was linked to local anger toward the increase in polar bears entering communities in Russia's Arctic.
As ice in the region becomes more scarce, the bears are forced to move further south in search of food, often foraging in human settlements.

- While tuberculosis is seen in many countries as an illness from a long-gone era, it remains an acute problem in Russia. According to World Health Organization statistics, 79,000 people in Russia contracted tuberculosis, or TB, in 2018.
Paulina Siniatkina, a visual artist in Moscow, is a survivor of TB. She contracted it when she was 25 years old and saw several of her friends die of TB while she was hospitalized for six months.
Outraged by the situation, Paulina took her brushes to denounce the stigmas surrounding people with TB, and who she says are responsible for the disease’s continued existence in Russia.
After a first exhibition dedicated to the subject in 2016, she is preparing a new exhibition entitled “You don’t want to know this” to show people what living with TB is truly like.

- Yegor Zhukov, a student at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics, was detained on Aug. 2 on suspicion of “mass unrest,” a crime punishable with up to eight years in prison, after he took part in Moscow’s mass opposition protest on July 27.
Zhukov’s classmates say he has been targeted for openly showing his opinion on the current situation in Russia on his political YouTube channel, which has more than 100,000 subscribers.
Zhukov has seen a wave of support from his university and fellow students alike. HSE students have picketed and fundraised more than 1 million rubles ($15,000) for his legal fees. Three of his schoolmates were detained on Aug. 5 in Moscow for holding pickets in his support.

You can cook on the woodstove, draw water from a well or even cross the garden to go to the toilet… But the dacha is also a safe haven for Russians who live in cities — they rush here after work every Friday for some peace and relaxation.
Spend one evening with three generations of women at a traditional Russian dacha north of Moscow. Their main occupation? Doing nothing!
