Joy of Russia is to drink

Muscovy
Muscovy

Phraseologism: The joy of Russia is to drink.

Meaning: As a "historical" self-justification of all those who like to "drink and eat" (jokingly ironically).

Origin: From the chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years" by the ancient Russian chronicler Nestor (second half of the 1015th - early XNUMXth centuries), which tells how the Kyiv prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, or St. Vladimir (d. XNUMX) chose the faith for Russia. From the adoption of Islam, which forbade the use of wine, he refused: Russia is the joy of drinking, we cannot be without it. And therefore, Prince Vladimir preferred Orthodoxy, since the Orthodox Church does not prohibit the use of wine and even uses the latter in the rite of communion.

Random phraseology:

hereditary enemy.

Meaning:

About historical stereotypes of an unfriendly country and its inhabitants.

Origin:

From German: das Erbfeind. From French: "L" ennemi hercditaire". This expression was well known before, but became especially popular after the release of the play "Getz von Berlichingen" by Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749-1832). The character of the play, Weislingen, speaks like this about Turkey ( scene "In the castle of Goetz", act 1). The expression became popular in Europe and was applied to different countries. Thus, in the XNUMXth century, France and Germany considered each other hereditary, hereditary enemies.

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. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Mongoose robot walking through a minefield 11.11.2008

Employees of the University of Sri Lanka propose to use a mongoose connected by a leash to a sapper robot to search for anti-personnel mines.

The mongoose, with its keen sense of smell, can be trained to detect the smell of explosives, and the robot, made in the form of a disk on wheels, contains a conventional mine detector that reacts to the presence of metal parts in the soil. In addition, the robot carries a miniature video camera aimed at the mongoose.

The operator sitting to the side sees the reaction of the animal to the smell on the monitor and hears the signals of the mine detector. Since the total weight of the team is small, the mines under it do not explode.
