Adoor, Zacharia praise VR show promoting nature conservation
The programme – organised by the Russian Honorary Society and the Russian Geographical Society – was inaugurated by filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan. The function was also attended by writer Paul Zacharia and UAE consulate general representative Muhammed Alshamsi.
Putting on the VR gear, Adoor and Zacharia lauded the initiative as they explored the scenic geography of Russia. 'At some point, I felt as if I was inside the woods,' said Adoor after watching the VR show. Zacharia pointed out that the high quality visuals provided a unique experience.
Aimed at increasing awareness about nature conservation and popularising the beauty of Russian landscapes, the programme will see VR Touring Talkies screening films in selected schools in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, and Ernakulam. The films, developed by the Russian Geographical Society, depict the nature and culture of Russia, said an official working with the Russian House.

Russia And India: How The Strong Friendship Of The Two Countries Across The Three Seas Is Felt In Moscow
PNN Moscow [Russia], August 18: The friendship between Russia and India has been painstakingly built over the course of many years. Officially, diplomatic relations between the two countries are 75 years old, but in reality, they are much older. Back in the 15th century, Russian people read the travel notes of the Tver merchant, Afanasy Nikitin, "Walking across the Three Seas", about a trip to the Bahmani Sultanate in southern India. Since those times, the people of Russia and Bharat have learnt more about each other's existence, and friendship and strong partnerships have since been established. Today, there is a convenient direct flight service between Moscow and Delhi, and tourists from both countries can easily apply for electronic travel visas. In Moscow tourism ranking, India ranks second in terms of the volume of tourist influx: in the first quarter of 2025 alone, 18,000 guests from India came to Moscow. Many Indian travellers, while exploring Moscow, are surprised to discover the 'spirit of India' in the Russian capital -- Indian culture has penetrated so deeply into Moscow life. Let's walk through the places in the city where this spirit is felt especially clearly. India Days, yoga in Moscow parks and meditation festivals Moscow residents and visitors alike demonstrate a strong and sustained interest in Indian culture. This vibrant cultural exchange is consistently nurtured through a variety of events held throughout the city. A prime example is the "Days of Indian Culture" festival, which took place in July 2025 on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow. Another highly popular event is the annual Yoga Day, which draws thousands of people passionate about Indian practices and their modern interpretations. This deep engagement is further evidenced by approximately 400 yoga studios across Moscow, with many corporations even offering classes for their employees. Yoga is also integrated into the capital's "Sports Weekend" project and frequently taught in city parks and at various public events. Adding to this rich tapestry of events, 2024 saw the inaugural International Meditation Day held in one of Moscow's city parks, highlighting the evolving interest in different facets of Indian spiritual practices. A Centre for Indian Culture has also been opened in Moscow. It operates with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of India in Russia, and in co-operation with representatives of the national Indian community. Here, every resident of Moscow can taste traditional Indian cuisine, practice yoga and Indian dancing, get advice from a Vedic astrologer, participate in ritual celebrations and attend an open lecture on Indian philosophy. Monuments to the great people of India on Moscow streets In Moscow, monuments to important Indian historical figures commemorate the deep ties between the two countries. As in India, they are known and respected in Russia, too. Several sculptures are dedicated to the Indian politician and public figure, Mahatma Gandhi. One of them is a replica of an Indian monument, based on a real photograph of Gandhi. It shows him during his symbolic march to the ocean shore: with a staff, wearing familiar glasses and simple clothes. This monument can be seen at the intersection of Michurinsky and Lomonosovsky Avenues in Southwest Moscow. Another sculpture, recently returned to the Museon Art Park after restoration, is a copy of the image that is kept in the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Museum in Delhi. But these are not all the monuments dedicated to the Indian Bapu. Another Moscow monument with the quote "My life is my message" was created specifically for the Indian Embassy in Moscow and is located on its territory. Monuments to the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, have also been erected in Moscow (under him, relations between Russia (in his time, the USSR) and India noticeably improved), the politician, Indira Gandhi (in the USSR, she was respectfully called the Great Daughter of a great nation), as well as the poet, Rabindranath Tagore. Mahatma Gandhi and Leo Tolstoy -- a meeting of two great souls There is another place in Moscow that is not directly connected with India, but preserves the spirit of a deep connection between the values, ideas and thoughts of our two peoples. This is the estate of Leo Tolstoy in Khamovniki. Mahatma Gandhi and writer Leo Tolstoy are known to have corresponded and exchanged their views, which turned out to be extremely close and eminently understandable to each other. Tolstoy was indeed interested in India and its people -- he was just living through his own spiritual upheaval, plus a reassessment of values, and preached the ideas of a simple life, proximity to the earth, vegetarianism, and renunciation of property. He agreed with Gandhi, both in these senses and in the ideas of non-violent struggle. Mohandas admitted that correspondence with the Russian writer significantly influenced his life position and fortified him in the struggle for independence. Their intense, heartfelt correspondence ended only with Tolstoy's death. The last letter of the Russian writer and philosopher came to Gandhi after the death of its author. The politician published this letter in the Indian Opinion magazine, where it sounded like Leo Tolstoy's testament to the entire Indian people to continue the struggle and be steadfast in their beliefs. You can touch the life of a Russian writer and see 'up close and personal' the details of a great life at Tolstoy's estate in Khamovniki. He lived here with his family for 19 winters and wrote about a hundred works, including the novel Resurrection, the novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich, The Kreutzer Sonata, and Father Sergius. Living at this manor, Leo Tolstoy embodied the principles of 'forgiveness' that Gandhi wrote about. He chopped firewood, carried water from the well, shined shoes, made boots and worked hard. The Tolstoy Museum in Khamovniki participates in the city summer festival 'Estates of Moscow'. This is a large-scale Moscow project with not only classic tours of numerous urban manors, but also immersive performances, augmented reality quests and master classes. The new excursion format engrosses participants in the atmosphere of Moscow manor life, in which Leo Tolstoy also lived. Red Square, the Conservatory, and the Polytechnic Museum -- places of fame of Indian celebrities The heart of Moscow and arguably all of Russia, Red Square, is sure to be included in the tourist route, but for visitors from India, it is a particularly precious place. The first Indian astronaut, Rakesh Sharma, took a memorable photo here in 1982. Thanks to the cooperation of India and the USSR in the field of Space, he went into Space as part of the Soviet crew. Indian jewellery is also kept in the treasury of the Russian monarchs, the Kremlin Diamond Fund, on Red Square. Among them is the precious Orlov diamond, which, according to legend, decorated the eye of the statue of the Indian deity Brahma, and after a long time fell into the imperial sceptre of Catherine II. Another diamond named "Shah" was found in the Golconda mines in South India in the 15th century. Most of the life of the Indian musician and mystic, Hazrat Inayat Khan, was connected with pre-revolutionary Moscow. He was a member of the Moscow musical circle, was friends with teachers of the Imperial Conservatory, singers, composers and poets of that time. Inayat Khan performed at the Moscow Conservatory and the Polytechnic Museum, the most important centre of Moscow's cultural life. India's vibrant presence is felt in Moscow not only in historical sites, but also in many restaurants and cafes of traditional Indian and vegetarian cuisine. There are dozens of them in the capital, from luxury restaurants of authentic cuisine to Indian outlets in large food markets, located throughout the city. Convenient travel logistics, ease of visa processing, direct flights, native cuisine, a rich common history and a deep friendship between Russia and India will undoubtedly create a feeling of warmth and hospitality during a trip to Moscow.

‘You sold out America': Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger lambasts Donald Trump's 'embarrassing' presser with Putin
Actor and former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger lambasted US President Donald Trump, calling his joint press conference with Russian President Vladmir Putin "embarrassing". In a video on YouTube, Schwarzenegger said Trump "stood there like a little wet noodle, like a little fanboy." "I mean, I was asking myself, when you gonna ask him for an autograph or for a selfie or something like that?," Schwarzenegger said. He went on with his scathing attack on Trump, saying, "You've literally sold out at this press conference, our intelligence community, our justice system, and worst of all, our country." "You're the president of the United States. You shouldn't do that. And what's the matter with you?," he asked. "I mean, whatever happened to the strong words or to the strength of Ronald Reagan when he stood there at the Berlin Wall and he said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. What happened? All that?," Arnold Schwarzenegger said as he ended his video message with a sigh. Schwarzenegger's criticism came after Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin held a joint press conference in Alaska on Friday at their high-stakes summit, but took no questions from journalists. The press conference followed some three hours of talks between the two leaders and senior aides on the brutal war in Ukraine, which Moscow invaded in 2022. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday made no apparent breakthrough on Ukraine in a high-stakes summit, pointing to areas of agreement and rekindling a friendship but offering no news on a ceasefire. "We had an extremely productive meeting, and many points were agreed to," Trump said. "There are just a very few that are left, some are not that significant, one is probably the most significant," Trump said without elaborating. "But we have a very good chance of getting there. We didn't get there, but we have a very good chance of getting there." Putin also spoke in general terms of cooperation in a joint press appearance that lasted just 12 minutes. "We hope that the understanding we have reached will... pave the way for peace in Ukraine," Putin said. Putin told Trump he agreed with him that the Ukraine war, which Putin ordered, would not have happened if Trump were president instead of Joe Biden.

Kseniya Alexandrova Death News: Popular Russian model Kseniya Alexandrova dies in tragic car accident
The news of Kseniya Alexandrova's passing has left a heavy silence in the world of fashion and beyond. At just 30 years old, the Russian model and Miss Universe 2017 contestant lost her life on August 12, following injuries from a tragic car accident. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Her death feels almost unreal, not only because of her young age but also because she had only recently stepped into married life, a new chapter filled with promise. On July 5, Kseniya and her husband were driving home when their car struck an elk that suddenly crossed the road. She was sitting beside him, and the impact was devastating. For weeks she fought for her life in hospital, but her body could not recover. Her husband's words describing that day are filled with grief no one should have to bear. "From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn't have time to do anything. The elk flew into the car. The blow hit Ksyusha in the head. She was unconscious, her head was broken, everything was covered in blood,' her husband told popular Russian outlet Rossiyskaya Gazeta, in a statement. But Kseniya should not be remembered only for the accident that took her. She was a woman whose presence lit up every space she entered. Many first came to know her when she became the first runner-up at Miss Russia 2017, later representing her country at Miss Universe. With her poised walk, radiant smile and quiet confidence, she stood out not only as a beauty queen but as someone with depth. Kseniya was also a qualified psychologist, proof that her ambitions extended far beyond the runway. Her modelling agency, Modus Vivendis, called her a symbol of 'beauty, kindness and inner strength.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Those who worked alongside her remember not just her elegance, but the way she treated people with warmth, with encouragement, with genuine care. Her Instagram, filled with glimpses of her wedding earlier this year, showed a young woman in love, stepping into a hopeful future. To think that life was so suddenly taken away feels deeply cruel. At 30, Kseniya Alexandrova leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured only by crowns or campaigns. She will be remembered for her light, her grace, and the humanity she brought into an industry often obsessed with perfection. For those who knew her personally and those who admired her from afar, Kseniya will remain unforgettable.
