Good evening,

This is the daily newsletter of "Medusa" about the main events of the day. Today we start with a riddle. More precisely, literally from the "riddles of the hole", as in "inside Lapenko." This hole was found by one Reddit user on the site of the island in the Pacific Ocean. Other users, of course, began to guess what it was. The versions were very different: from the secret military base to the entrance to the Half of the Earth. And the clue was quite simple .
