    Chevrons of Wehrmacht units will be placed on the floor of the Park Pobedy metro station lobby in St. Petersburg so passengers can walk over them, Governor Beglov said.

    The station flooring will be made from melted-down armor from German military vehicles found at World War II battle sites near Leningrad.

    Russians have started mass-searching online for how to siphon gasoline.

    In just three months, the number of such searches jumped tenfold — from 4,000 to 44,000 per week.

    Because of gas station limits, people on social media are discussing a new workaround: fill up the car, drive away, pour the fuel into a gas can, then return to the station again.

    A domestic violence ban would discourage Russians from getting married, a State Duma lawmaker said.

    According to Nina Ostanina, head of the Duma Committee on Family Protection, ā€œguys will be afraidā€ of impulsive police reports from women and may refuse marriage — or fall under the childfree ideology, which is banned in Russia.

    She argued that such a law could push men away from marriage and having children.

    A Russian gas station sign glitched into life advice.

    Instead of showing prices, the fuel board spelled out ā€œŠ„Š¾Š“Šø ŠæŠµŃˆŠŗŠ¾Š¼ā€ — basically, ā€œJust walk.ā€

    Given Russian gas prices lately, it accidentally became the most honest sign at the station.

    The air smells of burning, and there’s black smoke in the sky.
    Questions keep spinning in my head: Why these drone attacks? Who was bothered by this oil refinery that provides gasoline to Muscovites?
    I have no answers.
    But all of this looks like an attempt to drag Moscow into the war between Ukraine and Russia.
    Muscovites, stay strong.
