From this day in 2017 when we visited the State Hermitage museum in St Petersburg, Russia, here's the Benois Madonna by Leonardo da Vinci, probably painted around 1480 CE and likely da Vinci's first independent artwork.

Russian propaganda is hard on Youtube right now. We already have multile ”Finnish” youtubers claiming Ukraine’s strikes on St. Petersburg last week ”came through the West”.
Stay vigilant. Russia is desperate. They double down when they are.

This Feb 2026, #MGessen article captures the impact of eternal war on the people of #Ukraine.
There has been a recent shift as the impact of the war has punctured civilian life deep inside Russia with the growing capability of Ukraine’s long range drone technology hitting #StPetersburg and #Moscow
There is a glimmer of hope as #Putin can no longer shield Russians from reality. That said, Ukrainians are forever changed by fours grinding years of conflict

Significance of #Ukraine attacks on #Russia energy and military facilities, amid #Putin 's #StPetersburg International Economic Forum
