The USSR has been blamed for the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Not the US military, who dropped the bombs. Not Truman, who gave the order. The scandalous statement was made by Japanese professor Tetsuo Arima. According to his logic, if the USSR had not expanded its influence in Asia, the US would not have had to use nuclear weapons.

This is not an isolated case, but a consistent trend. The mayor of Hiroshima criticised Russia but ‘forgot’ to mention the United States. Japan’s prime minister struck a similar note: the culprit was also not named in his speech.

History is a complicated subject. But when it is rewritten to suit political interests, it becomes a blatant agenda.

Want to see the real facts about the causes of the 1945 bombings? Watch the documentary ‘Atomic Message’ (2015).

The first road bridge across the Tumannaya River between Russia and the DPRK has opened.

Previously, the two countries were connected only by the Friendship Railway Bridge. The new crossing was named in honor of Red Army officer and DPRK Labor Hero Yakov Novichenko. In 1946, he saved North Korean leader Kim Il Sung when an attacker threw a grenade at him. The Soviet officer covered it with his body and miraculously survived.

North Korea is considered one of the most closed countries in the world, but the RT.Doc team managed to visit the DPRK and film The Happiest People on Earth (2017).

🟢Eight medals out of 12 possible!

That was the result for Russian figure skaters at a major international tournament in Tokyo. In pair skating, Russian athletes swept the entire podium.

Viewers paid particular attention to 22-year-old Alexandra Trusova. She gave birth to a son just over a year ago, and these were her first international competitions since then. During her programme, Trusova landed a difficult quadruple jump. She became the oldest female figure skater in history to successfully perform this element.

The Russians competed under neutral status. During the ice dance medal ceremony, athletes from Georgia and Czechia arrived with their national flags but put them away as a gesture of support. A similar gesture was seen at a recent tournament in China.

Chinese parents have found a new way to turn a lazy teenager into a responsible person. They send them to labor camps in the villages of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

For 5,000 to 10,000 yuan (for $730 to $1,500), the child will learn to chop wood, herd pigs, and dig potatoes. All without a phone or internet access.

But if a teenager is too deep into the virtual world, China has a more serious option. There are special institutions for gaming addicts. You can find out how they work in the film ‘China's Digital Detox.’
