Russian drink producer Ochakovo has unveiled a new range of soft drinks to replace the iconic brands that have left the Russian market in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.

Say hello to...CoolCola, Fancy and Street. Image
Established in the Soviet Union in 1978, Ochakovo primarily produces traditional Russian beverages such as fermented grain-based kvass and low-alcohol honey drink medovukha.

In April, a beverages company based in Russia’s Far East, the Slavda Group, launched Grink Cola as well. Image
Things are not going great for Russia's drink producers, with customers complaining that neither drink was “sweet and sparkling.” #realitybites

Thread. McDonald's in Russia (in photos).

McDonald's has said it will permanently leave Russia after more than 30 years and has started to sell its restaurants.
McDonald's said it made the decision because of the "humanitarian crisis" and "unpredictable operating environment" caused by the Ukraine war.

The opening of McDonald's first restaurant in Moscow in 1990 came to symbolise a thaw in Cold War tensions.
On 31 January 1990, thousands of Muscovites flocked to the new burger joint, forming lines several kilometers long in the centre of Moscow on Pushkinskaya Square.

Thread. Francesco Gioia is a rising London-based photographer, whose absorbing, candid images poetically capture the theatre of everyday life.
Born in Florence in 1991, Gioia’s creativity was encouraged by his parents from an early age, and he first became interested in photography aged 20 when he took a job with a friend of his father’s at a local photojournalism agency.
He was placed in charge of a priceless historical archive of over 3 million images (captured between 1944 and the early 90s by the founder Giulio Torrini) including, in Gioia’s own words “some of the most amazing photographs of Florence from the 50s and 60s”.

A lot of people are talking about safe places if World War III starts.

Even the safest locations would suffer from a nuclear winter.

Most cities would be powerless against being reduced to ruins.
Even those in the most remote corners of the Earth could be impacted by nuclear warfare.

The capitals and major cities of the major nuclear-armed states would be the first to go.
Nuclear war means the smoke from burning cities could rise into the upper atmosphere, darken the sun, and create a nuclear winter that could interfere with agriculture globally.
