Викладацьке щастя - це коли зі студенткою 2 заняття вчили і практикували Past tense contrast і потім на наступному занятті вона розказує про події минулих вихідних і правильно вживає past perfect 😻
Дуже приємно отримувати такі відгуки від батьків моїх учнів🤗
Надихаюче.
У мого учня річна оцінка 11. І ми продовжуємо навчання влітку, бо є бажання, інтерес і результат ☺️
Маю вже багаторічний досвід викладання англійської. Працюю і з дітьми, і з підлітками, і з дорослими. Хоч це і не за сучасними трендами працювати з різними віковими групами, та мені так подобається 😉
His name was Hordiy Udovychenko.
He was killed on the night of March 7 alongside his mother Olena.
He was murdered by the russians for being Ukrainian, just as the Nazis murdered Jewish children for being Jews.
And because we, in the West, did not want to take action.
Unbearable.
Today in Budapest, Hungarian authorities took seven Ukrainian citizens hostage. The reasons are still unknown, as well as their current well-being, or the possibility of contacting them.
These seven Ukrainians are employees of state-owned Oschadbank, who were operating two bank cars transiting between Austria and Ukraine and carrying cash as part of regular services between state banks.
In fact, we are talking about Hungary taking hostages and stealing money. If this is the “force” announced earlier today by Mr Orban, then this is a force of a criminal gang. This is state terrorism and racketeering.
We have already sent an official note demanding an immediate release of our citizens.
We will also address the European Union with the request to provide a clear qualification of Hungary’s unlawful actions, hostage-taking, and robbery.

I really don't think @Olympics understand the visceral feeling anyone in Ukraine has when they see that blood soaked flag being waved.
Every time it's shown anywhere it brings huge anger, disgust and discomfort.
That flag means death, rape and burnt kids bodies, it's not ok.
WATCH IT.
Today russians hit a passenger train. They killed three people. Just like that. Because the world allows this evil.
In this video, a Ukrainian soldier saves a baby.
I have no words.
I hate russians.
May they and everyone who helps Russia burn in hell!
It seems the world is gradually getting hooked on "Russian-slop" in cinema. We suspect the Russians paid handsomely for this, but as they say, we can’t prove it.
From every crack and crevice in the new year, "aesthetic fast food" has begun to crawl out, with screenwriters and directors using "Russianness" as a cheap spice.
You look for something to watch, and the plots and settings are once again filled with Moscow, spies, "mysterious Russians," and Tolstoy-evsky.
It reaches the point of absolute absurdity: the actors from Heated Rivalry (a romantic story about a Canadian and a Russian hockey player) are now becoming the real faces of the Olympic show and will carry the Olympic flame to Milano Cortina 2026. A fictional Russian from fanfics has hit the mainstream so hard that he is literally being made a symbol of the Olympics (even though he’s played by a Texan). While real Russian athletes are doing their best to support the Russian army, a completely fictional, more polished, and "safe" Russian created for the screen receives the official stamp of a "cultural phenomenon" and promotes Russian culture.
Following Heated Rivalry comes Ponies, a spy thriller where the creators are practically squealing over the 1970s Moscow aesthetic. Two American secretaries become CIA operatives because they are supposedly "invisible." Once again, the old trick of portraying the USSR as only Russia, and Russia as a dangerous yet somewhat sexualized backdrop. Western screenwriters diligently search for the "mysterious Russian soul" through fur hats, cigarette smoke, and profanity (a scene of which even became the trailer).
You can understand how far the screenwriters are from the reality of the Union by two details. First: they somehow believe that secretaries at the US Embassy—who were also the wives of two CIA agents already killed by the KGB—are "persons of no interest" (hence the title's abbreviation). The KGB was a terrifying organization, but not an idiotic one; they were interested in absolutely everyone in foreign embassies, even those who just walked past suspiciously. Second: their embassy secretaries go to buy eggs at the market from local grandmothers, rather than the special stores used by diplomatic service representatives. We joked that there is a third detail—the series doesn't highlight snokhachestvo—but Netflix won't film that because it’s hard to sell as "elegant drama."
Joining these two creations is Idiotka, an indie comedy about a girl from a "Russian" neighborhood in West Hollywood who, in February 2026, will be trading her trauma on a reality show for money. Again, the Russian vibe as a commercial design choice. Honestly, if Russians weren't so desperately thirsty for coverage in at least some kind of "good" light right now, they would be outraged by this flow of stereotypes themselves (as they were in the 2000s).
But now, the Russian Federation benefits from anything that portrays them the way the West saw them in the eighties and nineties: dangerous, a bit wild, but mysterious, and not posing a mass threat to the Western viewer’s daily life. No mention of the total approval of the genocide of neighboring states, war crimes, and daily murders.
And the worst part is seeing this bear fruit. They are being given the microphone on the world's main stages.
Mstyslav Chernov’s film 2000 Meters to Avdiivka was on the Oscar shortlists, but in the end, it wasn't allowed into the final Best Documentary Feature nomination. Instead, there is Mr. Nobody Against Putin. Another film about them. The world is once again focusing on the "suffering of the Russian opposition," shifting the center of attention from our real war to another reflection of the aggressor. Russia is once again the protagonist and a complex intrigue, while somewhere in the background, our people—who should have been writers, directors, and actors—are fighting for the very right to live with weapons in their hands.
