In Brazil, a program called “Remission for Reading” allows prisoners to reduce their sentences by 4 days for each book they read and review, up to a maximum of 12 books per year, totaling 48 days off annually.

“For Ukrainians, Europe is the values we defend every day: freedom, democracy, human dignity, the rule of law, and solidarity between nations. While defending our own independence, Ukraine is also contributing to the security and resilience of Europe as a whole.” ~ @ukraine.ua 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇪🇺

#Repost @ukraine.ua with @use.repost_ . . . Today, Ukraine celebrates Europe Day together with the countries of the European Union.

Ukraine has always been a part of Europe – geographically, historically, culturally, and through the choices of its people. Today, amid Russia’s full-scale war, this connection is growing even stronger – through reforms, unity, and our shared responsibility for the future of the continent.

For Ukrainians, Europe is the values we defend every day: freedom, democracy, human dignity, the rule of law, and solidarity between nations.

While defending our own independence, Ukraine is also contributing to the security and resilience of Europe as a whole. Millions of Ukrainians are already helping build a stronger European future – on the frontline, in communities, through innovation, reconstruction, culture, and everyday life.

Europe is not only something we belong to. It is something we build together. Happy Europe Day 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Twenty shepherds, arriving from Silesia, were sent to Kazan to shear the sheep and teach the Russians there how to make wool so that it would no longer be necessary to buy English wool to clothe the army.

Peter the Great: His Life and World (Robert K. Massie)

WTF?!

They didn't know how to process wool?!

In so far as it is an institution intended to achieve, for the benefit of the greatest number, the social reforms to which landed suffrage is opposed, universal suffrage is powerless; especially if it pretends to legislate or govern directly. For, until the social reforms are accomplished, the greatest number is of necessity the least enlightened, and consequently the least capable of understanding and effecting reforms.
