⚡️Russian trampolinists won two gold medals at the World Cup in Italy.

Kirill Panteleev and Dmitry Nartov won the men’s synchronized trampoline event. The second gold medal was claimed by Angela Bladtseva and Danil Kasimov in the mixed synchronized event. Notably, the two are a couple not only on the trampoline, but also in real life.

The Russians competed under neutral status. Restrictions still remain in many sports. To learn who opposes Russia in the international sports arena and why, watch Anna Chapman’s documentary ‘O sport, you are hypocrisy!’ (2024) by the ‘Red Alert’ project.

The film 'Lebanon. The Yellow Line'.

In southern Lebanon, life is measured not in days but in the pauses between strikes. Every morning, construction worker Ali checks the news: will his crew go to work today, or will they have to evacuate under shelling? The war has separated him from his wife and children.

Ali lives and works in Nabatieh, near the 'Yellow Line' — the boundary of the area controlled by the Israeli army. Before the war, his crew built houses. Now they clear away ruins.

One of his clients decides to resume a construction project that was put on hold. He wants his neighbours to see that even near the 'Yellow Line', it is possible to build and return to normal life. More and more work goes into the building each day, even though no one knows whether it will survive the next strike.

Watch Alexander Kharchenko’s film about life in southern Lebanon during the ceasefire.

A new episode of the ’Inland visions.’

Twenty-two silvery domes — every one of them made of wood! On the Karelian island of Kizhi, Peter Scott discovers the secrets of craftsmen who turned timber into churches straight out of a fairy tale. The crowning glory is the Church of the Transfiguration: its log structure was assembled without a single nail, and its domes are clad in thousands of wooden ’scales’.

Visitors can try their hand at traditional crafts, too. Peter picks up a hammer to forge a nail in the smithy, then has a go at making kalitki — traditional Karelian pastries. Which will prove trickier: working red-hot iron or shaping the dough just right? Watch this episode.

💚 A true treasure of Turkmenistan. In these frames are Akhal-Teke horses. The breed is renowned for its incredible endurance and grace, and this animal even has its own holiday. Find out more in the video.

For Turkmens, a horse is a family member. Many start riding from an early age, and if an animal takes part in races, it receives meticulous care — it is taken to a special solarium and treated with healing ointments.

🟢It always listens, never judges, and remembers everything you said. Such a person is hard to find. But you can buy a robot.

In Asia, they are made to order. Humanoids collect data for months and build a personality tailored to the client. In 2025, about 13,000 humanoid robots were sold worldwide, with more than 80% of them in China.

Manufacturers do not hide it: men without a wife or girlfriend are becoming the main admirers. Many are building relationships with humanoids. To see how far this can go, watch the new RT.Doc film 'I'm Your Robot'.

Scammers and fake coaches are swindling millions of rubles out of Russians. Recently, a pensioner from St. Petersburg handed over 182 million rubles to fraudsters. The woman was persuaded to ‘declare her savings.’ She lost her money, investment coins, and
gold coins. There are a great many such scammers in the country today. Some of them present themselves as business mentors.

Olga from Khimki is a seasoned entrepreneur. For many years, she ran businesses in Moscow. But she knew nothing about online technologies. ‘Mentors’ promised to teach her quickly. She did not sign a single contract, yet a loan was taken out in her name. Its amount grew from 199,000 to 430,000 rubles.

Why do people still believe info-scammers, and how can you protect yourself? Watch our video and the film ‘To Coach or not to Coach? That is the question!’.

📹Millions of people have fallen victim to a so-called ‘infobusiness’. Those behind it, often referred to as info-scammers, are typically pseudo-trainers and coaches who promise fabulous wealth and instant success but, in reality, sell little more than empty words. Their audience is wide-ranging: from young mothers on maternity leave to experienced entrepreneurs chasing quick profits. One of those drawn in by the promise of easy success was trader Sergey Zhugan. He hoped to make millions but lost a significant amount of cash instead. In this film, Sergey agrees to take part in an experiment to see how image-makers construct the ‘financial guru’ persona.

The experience proved to be a sobering lesson for Sergey. He no longer looks for dubious shortcuts to wealth and has returned to running an honest business. But while some learn from their mistakes, others continue to believe in miracles. Despite high-profile criminal cases involving notorious figures such as Elena Blinovskaya and Ayaz Shabutdinov, the number of victims continues to grow. What keeps this cynical industry alive? And why are such fraudsters so difficult to expose?
