The situation in the Amur region of Russia becomes more and more serious. The big water finally came to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Unfortunately they cannot use heavy equipment to eliminate the flooding due to the weather

conditions so they have to go to extremes and work with their hands to stop the water. Look how federal rescue services struggle with the flood in the region on the picture inside the post.

This house is the place where Joseph Stalin rested in summer 1921, so this house is turning 100 years old soon. There, In Nalchik, he was deciding what pieces the Mountain Republic of the USSR

had to be cut into. As a result Kabardino-Balkaria was formed and Kabarda lost its Cherkessk lands and gained Balkar ones. That and other decisions bring many problems even today.
