Meteor explodes over Siberian city, turning night into day (VIDEO)

People in the Republic of Khakassia in southwest Siberia witnessed a large fireball exploding in the sky on Tuesday, which briefly made the evening as bright as the day. Some even managed to catch the event on camera.

Tensions are rising between #Russia and the #West – and the #UK must accept its responsibility


Is it any wonder that #Russia is boosting its air defences in Kaliningrad? They see the Western moves as aggressive and theirs as defensive. We see it the other way round.

Tensions are rising between Russia and the West

It is almost a quarter of a century since the Soviet Union’s collapse, yet over the past week or so you could be forgiven for forgetting that this global cataclysm had ever happened. The war of words over Syria at the UN General Assembly last month has escalated into a war of images, and fears are being stoked about Russia’s intentions.

"Russia Did More 'Good' In 30 Days Than The US Did In A Year" - The Only Accredited Western Journalist In Damascus Speaks Up

On behalf of Prensa Latina news agency, Miguel Fernandez was the only journalist from the Western world accredited to work in the Syrian capital of Damascus for nearly a year. After returning home to Havana, Fernandez gave Sputnik News an exclusive interview in which he reflects back on what he experienced in the war torn country... "These elements (Daesh) are savages. They can destroy a monument in the same way that they cut a child's head off... During the first 30 days of bombing the Russians were able to destroy 40 percent of Daesh's infrastructure, which the US and its allies hadn't been able to do for a year."

Newnownext: Russian Artist Posts People's Cute Selfies Alongside Their Horrible Homophobic Threats

An LGBT activist in Russia is using social media to shame homophobes in her native country who have been sending her death threats. In April Lena Klimova launched " Beautiful People and What They Say to Me," an online photo album where she posts public photos of seemingly benign individuals, juxtaposed with the violent threats they've posted on VKontakte, Russia's largest social network.
