Meaning: It serves to express annoyance, sadness at the sight of someone else's joy, fun, "beautiful life", etc. (jokingly ironic).

Origin: From the novel (ch. 36) "The Twelve Chairs" (1927) by Soviet writers Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) and Evgeny Petrov (1903-1942). The words of Ostap Bender, who, together with Ippolit Vorobyaninov, ended up in Pyatigorsk in search of diamonds. "There was a lot of music in the Flower Garden, a lot of cheerful people and very few flowers. A symphony orchestra performed the Dance of Mosquitoes in a white shell. Narzan was sold in the Lermontov Gallery. Narzan was sold at kiosks and peddled. Nobody cared about two dirty diamond seekers "Oh, Kisa," said Ostap, "we are strangers at this celebration of life."

And Shepilov, who joined them.

Meaning:

About a person who accidentally got into someone's company and suffered from this (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

From the resolution of the June 1957 Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU. Original: Condemn [...] the factional activities of the anti-party group of Malenkov, Kaganovich, Molotov and Shepilov, who joined them. This refers to the secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Dmitry Trofimovich Shepilov (1905-1995), who at this Plenum (June 22-29, 1957) supported Molotov, Malenkov, Kaganovich, Pervukhin and Saburov, who openly opposed party leader Nikita Khrushchev, accusing him of adventurism ("to overtake and overtake America", the establishment of economic councils, criticism of Stalin, etc.).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin.

Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
