HOW AN ENGLISHMAN SAVED RUSSIAN WATCHES ⌚️ RAKETA 🚀

Bold, beautiful, and brave. That’s how I would describe the Russian Raketa watch. A watch worn by those who aren’t afraid to stand out, the daring souls that conquer the space, sea, and polar regions. But the history of the Raketa watch factory goes back 300 years, to the time of Peter the Great. Since then, it has produced the Kremlin Stars, the first watch to go to space, Raketa, and then…it almost collapsed with the fall of the Soviet Union. That’s until an Englishman came into the picture and made it his mission to keep the wheels turning. Meet David Henderson-Stewart, the CEO of Raketa and the man behind its revival.

Thanks to David, Raketa has taken flight not only in Russia but onto the global stage as well. 🌍 I sat down with him in his Moscow creative studio to discuss why making a watch is almost as difficult as sending a rocket into space. 🚀 I also had the opportunity to tour the Raketa factory in ...

World Gone Mad? Locals Exclusive with Alex Christoforou

Dear fellow Duranians.
As a result of these last few days I wanted to get Alex´s opinion and thoughts on what he thinks is happening.
Postulating and spit- balling a few thoughts, I try to make sense out of all of this my self.
With the help and insight of many guests and friends, maybe we can form a larger and more objective picture of how we perceive this all.

Enjoy an hour of Alex´s great calmness and sober insight :)

🇷🇺 Russian Health Minister Saves Life Mid-flight

On a Moscow–Hanoi flight, a 50-year-old passenger suffered a hypertensive crisis. The crew called for help, and by chance, Russia’s Health Minister Mikhail Murashko was onboard.

Murashko treated the man, stabilized him within an hour, and the passenger safely completed the flight.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
