Nevertheless, one of them lost his nerves. He tried to undermine the offenders, but in the end he self-destructed.
In the best traditions of the Russian army, the commanders did not want to take dirty linen out of the hut (in order to avoid a scandal from relatives) and attributed it to the soldier's negligent attitude to security measures, because women still give birth to soldiers, and colonels in the unwashed are still important people.
The absence of fingers on the corpse's hand (creepy photos, we do not recommend watching for the faint of heart) confirms the version of conscious self-explosion.

- Russia was not allowed to the largest fair of new technologies
Russian companies will not be represented at the world's largest exhibition of new technologies CES in Las Vegas in January. It is reported by the BBC. Representative of the organizers of the exhibition Gary Shapiro confirmed that this year Russian companies were denied participation due to the political situation.
Shapiro also stated that the decision to refuse potential Russian exhibitors was made not because of US policy, but expressed the position of the exhibition organizers themselves. On the other hand, more than ten Ukrainian technology companies will be represented at the exhibition. He stressed that CES is ready to accept Russian companies that, after the start of the war in Ukraine, relocated to other countries.
The CES Electronic Technology and Innovation Fair in Las Vegas annually attracts more than 3,000 companies from around the world, from tech giants to startups. Last year it was attended by about 40 thousand spectators, which was considered a low number due to the coronavirus pandemic: in pre-pandemic times, the number of visitors was about 200 thousand each year, and in 2023 the organizers hope to return to previous numbers. The exhibition will open for the general public on Thursday, January 5, but it is already open for journalists and professionals.
