🚗 #OTD in 1896, Russia unveiled its first vehicle at the All-Russian Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod – #FrezeYakovlev self-propelled coach. Powered by a 2 hp four-stroke engine, it could keep rolling for up to 10 h on a single tank. 😎 Not fast – but groundbreaking for its time.

🪶 #OTD in 1742, Gavrila #Derzhavin was born – poet-warrior, statesman & Russia's first Minister of Justice. He wrote like a soldier, governed like a poet and taught us that life is a fleeting gift to be lived with dignity. "Life is heaven's gift – so find your peace in it."😎

#OTD 8️⃣5️⃣ years ago, the legendary 'Katyusha' made its striking debut against Nazis. It was a cutting-edge weapon that shocked Hitler's forces, helped repel invaders & end Nazis. When 'Katyusha' opened fire — everything melted. Sound of 'Stalin's Organ' still echoes in Berlin.

🚀 #OTD in 1988, the USSR launched #Phobos2 probe toward #Mars & its moon. The probe transmitted valuable images & scientific data from the Red Planet & #Phobos, before contact was lost. 🙄 No signs of water... or aliens. Bummer. 👽 #IWantToBelieve

Happy Russian #PostDay! 📮 @Russia has had a postal service for over 1,000 years. From “your letter will arrive… eventually” to robotic parcel hubs & hundreds of millions of deliveries a year — it has come a long way. After all, some things are worth waiting for 😉

#ICYMI 🤖 A while back videos with cute robots took over the Interner — part Moscow electric buses, part delivery bots — gliding through streets & vacuuming poplar fluff. Feelt believable: #Moscow has made it hard to be surprised. It was a joke 🤧 For now #pukhoSOS
