Vladimir Menshov, surprise Russian Oscar winner, dies at 81
Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, a soapy, melodramatic crowd-pleaser, attracted some 90 million moviegoers in the Soviet Union even after it had been broadcast on television, not long after it was released theatrically in 1980.

Fentanyl is taking over as the main drug pollutant in America’s waterways. 20 years ago people in America spent more money on illegal drugs than on new cars, just barely. Now they do by a factor of two or three. Shows you how apathetic the country has got. When all those tens of trillions in free Covid welfare checks runs out, maybe things will improve, but highly unlikely.
Rand Corp. estimates about 150 billion a year is spent on illegal drugs in the USA, with 30 billion at least going to Meth. However, their figures are way off, it’s likely many times that number. Rand needs to stick to building DUMBS for reptilians with the annual trillion dollar Black Budget rather than quoting drug statistics in America. They don’t have reliable data on Meth and Fentanyl. Their data is about as reliable as asking ICE how many people cross the border per year or asking the DOD official figures on Afghan war casualties. In all cases they lie out their teeth.
