Valentina's Song (Tomorrow Will Be Better Than Today).
I miss my local newspaper vendor Valentina and her kiosk. I miss her positivity and warm-heartedness. Valentina left Moscow a couple of years ago and has been undergoing cancer treatment in Kursk.
To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme I'd written into a song. in their centenary year the legendary BBC Singers have recorded it for her. A huge thank you to them.

Looking for clues in today’s Russian papers to how Moscow might react to Ukraine striking Russia with ATACMS missiles.

One Russian paper today comments on Donald Trump’s pick for defence secretary Pete Hegseth: “Some of his views…make your hair stand on end. It’s unlikely this war dog will do much good for American power. And that’s a good thing.” Plus, calls for a Stalin statue in Moscow. Please subscribe to my channel ruclips.net/user/SteveRosenberg

In terms of administrative skills, one Russian paper today calls Trump “a big baby who doesn’t know how to work in a team.

    I worked as an engineer for Graphic Design in the John Aston/Brian Tregidden era in the Scenery Block just when GD was doing more of the broadcast graphics electronically. We eventually got absorbed by the huge Post Production dept which led onto big organisational changes…..

    Where is the Love ? Russians and Ukrainians shared the border like England and Scotland. They were even closer than that. Many families were split between Russia and Ukraine. Putin manufactured a hat_red within the russian people for their Ukrainian cousins. So many Ukrainian "Valentina's" have been bombed out of their kiosks. Why do the russian people allow this disgusting war to continue ? Where is the Love ? :-(

    I suspect that the railway 'investment' being cut is in fact maintenance. Same with Western built airliners which are being mothballed due to lack of spares and engineers.
