The Frightening Economics of the Tesla Semi
Tesla is working on developing an electric semi tractor for relatively short hauls of three to five hundred miles. But critics are skeptical.

Tesla hasn't released the expected weigh of its truck but there are clues that allowed Oliver to estimate the economic impact of Teslsa's truck.

Why Russia's Agents Are in Europe
Unit 29155 belongs to the Russian Intelligence Service, the GRU. Based on the actions of their agents, Unit 29155 is responsible for assassinations. Curiously, their attempts to assassinate Dmitry Peskov and Emilian Gebrev were not just failures but so sloppy that the identities, itineraries and personal histories of the assassins are now publicly known. Is this really sloppy trade craft or were the assassination attempts deliberately, though subtly, revealed.

Why You Absolutely Can't Claim This Unclaimed Land
A number of countries have claimed regions of Antartica. Fortunately they agreed to a treaty that has so far prevented hostilities. But one region, Marie Byrd Land, cannot be claimed according to the treaty.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
