5 facts about the Great Imperial Crown, the Romanovs’ most prized (and costly) possession (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before the creation of the Imperial Crown, Russian tsars would use a one-time crown for coronations. Things changed when Catherine the Great ascended to the throne in 1762. For her coronation, she commissioned Swiss jeweler George Eckart and Swiss diamond cutter Jeremiah Pozier. Besides having to look stunning, there was only one instruction. To make the four-hour coronation ceremony more bearable, the crown had to weigh no more than 2 kg. As rivals, the two men could not tolerate each other. Du
The elusive wife of UFC champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In September 2019, following Khabib Nurmagomedov’s victory over American Dustin Poirier, the 31-year-old UFC mixed martial arts champion became the most popular person on Instagram in Russia.

People’s real life was carefully guarded from the eyes of foreign visitors, who were shown around the most presentable places, put into the best hotels, where ordinary Soviet people were not allowed, and, of course, closely and secretly watched all the time. Some never managed to peer behind this carefully erected screen of socialist propaganda, while those who did could not forget what they saw. Here is what these famous people
Prostitutes, bullying, and other ‘discreditable’ facts about Dostoevsky (opens the original)
Read excerpt
His protagonists are murderers, masochists, prostitutes, misfits, holy fools, and social outcasts. He was a great Russian writer whom people in Russia begin to read in secondary school, but most of the time we don’t finish reading his novels. But is it possible to describe life at the bottom of society so vividly without being part of it? It seems not. "I am so debauched I can no longer live a normal life. I am afraid of typhus and fever, and my nerves are weak. The Minushkas, Klarushkas, Marian
