The largest hot air balloon in Europe, made in the form of one of the life-size towers of the Moscow Kremlin, actually took off at the opening of the hot air balloon festival in Sergiev Posad. The sacks, spread out on the ground, right in front of the admiring public's eyes, turned into the Tsar Bell, the Kremlin tower, a can of beer, a cup of coffee or the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. The current festival was timed to coincide with the great patronal holiday - the Day of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

Last Sunday, Moscow was shaken by yet another massacre. Several dozen distraught people, led by two Dagestanis, staged a showdown at the Novogireevsky market. This time, firearms were also used. As a result of the fight, Azerbaijani Sahib Agayev was killed on the spot. Six of his compatriots were taken to city hospitals. A few hours after the Novogireevsk “meat grinder,” Busat Masimov died on the operating table.
