This morning, news agencies brought the sad news: Russia's most famous soldier, Chmonya, died heroically in Ukraine. Chmonya (Andrey Ryazantsev) was captured during the first year of the war. The circumstances of Chmonya's capture are unclear, but according to Ukrainians, it occurred in the fall of 2022, during the heroic Russian retreat from Izyum, when tall, brave Russian paratroopers fled in terror before the advancing Ukrainian soldiers, abandoning everything—armored personnel carriers, tanks, weapons, even rifles and body armor. It was at that moment, as the Russians fled in terror, that Chmonya was abandoned
Everyone fled except Chmonya. He is very short—only 150 cm—so, according to him, he didn't even try to escape, but sat calmly and waited for the Ukrainian soldiers.
And so, Russia's most famous warrior, its most famous meme hero, Chmonya, found himself in inglorious captivity.
In fact, he only became a hero after his capture.
According to Ukrainians and the testimony of the most famous Russian occupier, no one treated him badly in captivity; on the contrary, he was well fed, so well that he even gained a little weight. However, he didn't grow at all.
Six months after his capture, he was exchanged and returned home to his native village.
But just a few weeks later, Chmonya, by then already a celebrity, was drafted into the army and sent back to war.
While Ukrainian military websites write extensively about him, Russian sources, by contrast, provide no information about Chmonya's military exploits, not a word about the circumstances of his death—only a brief statement: mobilized in 2022, died heroically in 2026
They nicknamed her Chmonya, inspired by the name of the poor little kitten that became a meme on the internet. Don't confuse her with the famous kitten when searching.

Residents of Odessa have published footage of strikes by Russian Geran-2 kamikaze drones. According to media reports, the strikes targeted Ukrainian port and industrial infrastructure, as well as other city targets. Multiple fires have been reported in Odessa as a result of the Russian drone strikes.

It seems that the financial and economic situation in Russia has taken a turn for the worse. According to Konstantin via a source within Russia, Q1 2026 tax take is 22% below Q1 2025 tax take. This may indicate a combination of a deterioration in company profits / a large number of businesses closing down / a fall in consumer spending.
The fall in tax take would tie in with year on year monthly GDP growth starting to fall into negative territory. The March growth figure may be a misleading distortion of actual GDP during the month due to Russia selling at a high price per barrel the large amount of crude that was being stored in tankers on the high seas. The US lifted sanctions for the sale of that stored crude.
