What’s the top story today on Irkutsk TV? Not the death of a Russian plague researcher. Nothing at all in any Ruzzki media, apparently.... youtu.be/oU48YovMLKU

In an article published in peer-reviewed journal Digital Medievalist, Colin Layfield and Lisa Fagin Davis argue that the manuscript’s folded sheets may have originally been piled on top of each other as “singulions” – like a stack of Christmas cards. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

A medieval manuscript has confounded scholars for centuries. Have they been reading it wrong all this time?
Researchers argue incorrect binding of Voynich manuscript radically changes ideas about its drawings and indecipherable text

Reported in Russian media: - Representatives of the Taliban arrived in Kazan to participate in the "Russia - Islamic World" forum. - We can only imagine how thrilled veterans of the Afghan war are by this news. - In reality, Russia is part of the Islamic world.

One Russian paper claims “Russia’s military has been given a political blank cheque to carry out full demilitarisation & deindustrialisation of Ukraine.” But there's nothing in the papers from Irkutsk, where there have been reports of a potentially “dangerous infection.” youtu.be/8-keGWmmiE0

On foreign policy, the message is clear: whoever governs Latvia, NATO commitments, EU membership and support for Ukraine are not up for debate. No party in parliament will challenge that, but it also points to early signs of a more populist governing style that bears watching. youtu.be/l71cFXhNCrw
