Drops of last week October 19 – October 25, 2026. Part II

We are surprised by something every day. We are happy or sad about something. Something makes us angry or something makes us laugh.

It's life. And she is who she is.

And here's last week

... IN THE REPUBLIC

Yakut sports will be taught to Karelians. Let's do this together...

The droplets have always known that sports people live in our blessed Karelia. We can both Thai boxing and a marathon, if anything, run at a high level.

Artistic gymnastics and swamp football - we also know the secret of victories.

And the old Karelian game of kyukkya is all ours.

But it's not enough! We want more.

We want faster, higher and stronger!

And here, on this cheerful note, last week, ambassadors from the Churapchinsk State Institute of Physical Education and Sports appear in our region.

IA "Republic" told about this epochal visit.

If you do not know where this university is, then the “drops” will enlighten you, friends.

And it is located in the village of Churapcha Churapchinsky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The only, by the way, in Russia sports higher education institution located in the village. Or in the village? How right?

Last week, envoys from Churapchi came not alone to Karelia, but together with the guys from the All-Russian Mas-Wrestling Federation.

Mas-wrestling is a Yakut national sport that really wants to become an Olympic sport. It was once called the Mas-Tardys. Well, that was when it was very old.

That's the point.

Two batyrs sit opposite each other, rest their feet on the board and take one stick in their hands.

When they sit down, the judge gives the command "Belham" (get ready), and then - "Che" (start). Victory in the bout counts if one of the athletes was able to pull the opponent or if the opponent released a stick.

It's simple, fast, hard.

And so the mas-wrestling gurus came to us to develop this highly intellectual sport.

And even signed an agreement with Petrozavodsk State University.

But the agreement was not limited. The paratrooper of the Institute from the village of Churapcha "in the framework of the project "Sport - the norm of life". He conducted advanced training courses and professional retraining under the “Sports Coach” program for 16 students from Karelia. A master class in mas-wrestling was also held for students.”.

Now mas-wrestling, as the “Drips” understand it, along with kyukkya has also become “our everything”?

As the old Nanai fighters instructed their students, instilling in them the secrets of the struggle of the Nanai boys, “victory does not wind in the air, but struggle gets.”.

To Karelian chefs - respect and respect! And also letters and kind words.

What a sin to hide: admitted “drops”, that they love to eat delicious.

And always the chefs are praised, who please us with their art and leave us hungry.

By the way, friends, but few of you know that last week we had International Cook's Day. It is celebrated on October 20th.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Kapelkam said that it had thought of this significant date.

And it decided to reward our best workers of noise, scoop, scoop and pans with its Certificates of Honor.

And rewarded!

From Petrozavodsk restaurant "Bolshoi" three culinary maestros were noted: chefs Igor Buneev, Maxim Britkin and Evgeny Buneev.

This year, this trio entered the top ten best chefs of the country at the championship “Chef a la Russe-2026”.

In addition, the authors of the ethnocultural project “VKarelia Is” chef Ivan Balin and Kirill Petrov received diplomas.

Wonderful project, wonderful people, wonderful dishes!

Excellent professionalism!

The day in the Ministry of Industry and Trade did not end after the presentation of the awards.

According to officials, “after the award, they discussed with the masters the development of the national cuisine of Karelia, as well as the use of local products, including algae, in the preparation of Karelian dishes.”.

As, smiling, Suvorov's miracle riches said at stops, "a good cook and in a battle of algae will cook porridge.".

IN CITY P

Klushi at Petrozavodskmash

The website of Rosatom and IA "Respublika" "Kapelkam" about birds and an engineer told an interesting story last week.

It turned out that on the territory of our famous literally for the whole world plant "Petrozavodskmash" live pichuks listed in the Red Book.

Moreover, the design engineer from Petrozavodskmash, whose name is Andrey Anderson, not only counted them all, but even photographed and created a whole Atlas of birds.

In general, as it turned out, more than ninety species of birds and more than forty of them are Red Book.

The engineer-designer-ornithologist told about this at a special meeting with employees of the Vodlozersky National Park, students of Petrozavodsk State University and eco-bloggers of Petrozavodsk.

So, who did Andrey Andersen use his photo lens?

According to the website of Rosatom, “on the roofs of the factory buildings nest backyards with their chicks, and at the factory pier, where multi-ton equipment for nuclear power plants is shipped, black cossacks live... In the vicinity of the plant there are rare nightingales and hawks-grouse”.

And so on.

And all this bird wealth "Petrozavodskmash" tries to keep intact and safe for descendants.

Which in itself is commendable, consider “drops”.

Ancient shamans-ornithologists from the Saami tribe taught children by the fire: “Red bird feather, and man – skill”.

Petrozavodsk is criminal. Beauty and cosmetics

Beautiful women are those women who have everything natural: eyes, lips, soul, clothes, and thoughts. And a minimum of makeup.

But there are women in the city of P who think differently. They think that the more cosmetics it touches, the more beautiful it will become.

Moreover, for the sake of these greases, representatives of the fairer sex are ready to commit a crime.

Last week there was a theft in one of the Petrozavodsk stores. The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Karelia whispered about it in secret.

That was it.

34-year-old potential beauty from the heart packed face masks, deodorants and sprays.

In total, she gained all sorts of girlish joys for more than thirty with half a thousand rubles.

And I tried to quietly - without paying - take it past the cash register and security.

But she was caught, captured and handed over along with the police.

All the misappropriated woman, crying, returned. But this will not save her from punishment - a criminal case under the article "attempted theft" has been initiated.

That's how in pursuit of ghostly beauty and mind lose.

But the judges of beauty contests that took place in the Pskov and Novgorod lands in the Middle Ages said: “Beauty is crazy that a purse without money.”.

A DROP FROM ME...

Korean dogs saved!

The droplets have been eating dog meat for quite some time in Singapore.

“Drips” will honestly say: neither gastronomic nor any other pleasure this tasting gave them.

And in general, “Dripples” cannot accept the fact that “friends of man” can be eaten and even bred “for meat”.

However, in Korea they were eaten before our era. And not just in Korea.

It is clear that Korea is mainly mountains and many cows, bulls and other large and medium-sized horned here can not grow as much as necessary for food.

Well... However, in other mountainous regions, it somehow worked out. In Georgia, for example...

But the ancient Koreans decided instead of traditional meat animals to breed unpretentious, well-breeding, disciplined and friendly dogs for food.

Okay, their business.

But years go by. Traditions and gastronomic preferences are changing even in Southeast Asia. And dogs are getting more and more defenders.

After all, South Korea recently passed a total ban on breeding, raising, slaughtering, distributing and selling dogs for food. The ban will come into force on February 7 next year.

Last week, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea reported that 1,339 out of 1,537 farms engaged in breeding dogs for meat have already closed in the country.

“What happened to the dogs?” you ask.

“Drips” will answer – the dogs will not be left to their fate.

According to TASS, the authorities are planning to create a system of protection and maintenance of dogs, which will be abandoned by owners of closing farms.

And for some reason, it seems to “Drop” that saved from the terrible fate of being eaten, dogs will find true human friends.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “If you do not love dogs, you do not love loyalty; you do not love those who are loyal to you, therefore you cannot be faithful.”.
