I can't imagine being shown a gap, and I really want to climb it. If she had started doing this in the tenth year instead of the zero years, we would have treated her like the Russian Julie Fox. The French really let everyone [music] mess up. Friends, if I am on your screens, it means it's a good day, it's Wednesday, and again, without a prompter, I'm with you. I remind you that we will discuss, well, I will discuss this with you, and you will respond through the screen to various info events of the past weeks that seemed interesting to me. And again, I remind you, not about subscribing, leaving a comment, and liking, but that it's just my opinion. I try to argue it, but that doesn't mean it's the ultimate truth. So if you disagree with something, you can argue and say, No, I believe it's not like that, because that's it. We've covered everything, friends, and we can.

Starting with the first news I want to share with you is related to the Olympics and France. Isn't it a miracle already? As you may remember, on July 26th, some kind of Olympics will begin in Paris. But it's not as important as this wonderful statement by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and the Mayor of Paris, about some of the swimming events, part of the sports related to water, will be held in the Seine River. And you know, my friends, honestly, I started screaming like a seagull at that moment because, I don't know, how many of you have been to Paris and seen the Seine, but let me give you a fact for context. For the last 100 years, swimming in the Seine has been completely prohibited, and it looks in a way that you don't really want to do it. Of course, there are people who are fans of swimming in specific bodies of water, maybe someone enjoys it in the Moscow River, maybe someone is happy to swim in the Hudson. But still, the overwhelming

Many people now avoid such experiences. Imagine you have a triathlon. So, you run, then you cycle, and then you need to swim in a river where sewage has been flowing until now. Is this not a blessing? As the French say, they really let everyone mess up. I don't even have another description of this situation, but they wouldn't be themselves if this situation didn't start gaining momentum because besides Macron saying, Yes, let's swim with the mayor, it's normal, it's safe, it's super, ordinary French people said, Of course, let's swim. We will make it so that you swim, and the Mayor of Paris said, It's okay to dive. By the time our episode airs, she will probably already be picking out a wonderful costume, and the residents of the country whose symbol is the Rooster. I have never thought that I would euphemistically call France. In short, the residents of France are known.

The fact that they know how to protest is basically such a culturological moment. They protest very well because if you remember, the Marseillaise is actually the anthem of France. Let's remember what the Marseillaise is associated with. Yes, and also let's recall the numerous incredible performances that, for example, French farmers organized when they were dissatisfied with something. So, what do French protesters do? Well, many examples can be given. Last year, the whole of Paris was full of garbage because they said, We will not clean anything, enjoy it. It was a beautiful episode when French farmers simply sprayed a government building with manure because they were dissatisfied with something. So, the French have a protestive character, but I want to say that these protests do not bring much benefit because in the past.

In 2018, there was a very indicative incident for me when our dear Macron raised the retirement age. There was a reform, oh my God, who taught them this? That's it, everyone would sit, everyone would stand up, saying no, no, no, how can you raise the pension, implement this reform, raise the retirement age. Do you think these protests led to any changes, did this project get canceled? No, it didn't get canceled, as they would say on Twitter. Oh my God, the French, what a nation of slaves, they protested poorly, I hate it when they write like that, in short. What I'm trying to say is that for them to gather and protest is a very understandable simple action, and they do it with enthusiasm. You know, with passion. And what happened in the context of this wonderful Seine River and swimming in it, the French were like, Let's do a flash mob. And the essence of this flash mob is that on the 23rd of the month, I swim in the Seine. Yes, like the mayor of Paris would want. And I will poop in.

On the 23rd of September, I swear to you, when I first saw this, I thought I had forgotten French. I mean, why, what verb is here, why and for you to understand. This is a civil organization, they made a website that allows you to understand where exactly you need to poop in some reservoir, so that it definitely reaches the Seine, so that when Macron is there, he kind of, well, feels like... I don't know, like a Ninja Turtle, part of the sewer system. Quite amusing. And their motto, these people who organize all this, is like, You pooped on us last year, so now we poop on you. I mean, wow, what kind of action is this, you know, it's nice to watch. But besides the jokes, of course, the situation is sad in some places because over a billion euros were spent to supposedly clean the Seine, and for Macron, this is a very important project because when he was in the 17th year.

He was elected there immediately, and a few months after his election, they won this tender, and he would like that naturally. Well, we know that presidents love Olympics, so to speak, with their presence on the throne, with their stay in power. This is a common theme. In the end, my favorite thing on Earth is these auditing firms that should say if the river is clean or not. They answer the question if it's clean or not. There are at least two of them. I will now quote what one of the employees who checked said. Can you swim in the river now? So, the quote: I just don't want to wash it, so to speak, he says. In the summer, when there is a lot of sunlight, when the water level in the river is really low, and when there is no rain for several weeks, let's say, at least two or three weeks without precipitation, you can really achieve good water quality. So, it's like that because...

Currently, at least E. coli exceeds the necessary volume required for people to safely enter the water, my friends. I'm thrilled. I'm just thrilled. I think this is absolutely surreal. Well, if I were the athletes, really, I just don't understand. This desire for grandeur and some kind of proof, the river has been closed for 100 years. You still have the old sewage system there. Recently, there were rains, and everything went back into this unfortunate little river. Why stuff the athletes there? Plus, in principle, I want to say that in recent years, the Olympics have regularly faced some corruption scandals. Sponsors leave them. In particular, you can look at the case with Toyota, which hoped that sponsoring the Olympics would be a good boost and something playing into their hands. In the end, they are absolutely disappointed with the result, and they

This event no longer brings money. What used to seem elite and cool now... Well, we are discussing this in the context of the French peeing in the river. What can I say, just another day at the circus, but in any case, of course, I will watch the Olympics, I will cheer. But I hope, I hope that no athlete will have to swim in that river, I wouldn't wish that even on my enemy. And since we are talking about summer and safety, I certainly want to raise the topic of sun protection. Friends, because even if you go to a cosmetologist and use expensive skincare, you still need SPF protection. It is very important for the skin, and in the long run, you will see the difference because you didn't forget to apply the right products to yourself. Like no one else, I understand how annoying sunscreens can be because sometimes they have a strange texture, sometimes they are only for

Person A: Do you think about what else to do with your hair or lips? There are many other problems, terrible odors, in short, friends, there are many factors that stop you, so the very cool Russian brand Art and Fact has created several formats for applying sunscreen. For example, if I have a shooting day and then I go somewhere to walk or to an event, I definitely use this cool emulsion under my makeup. I won't apply it again on top right now, I'll just show you on my hand how it looks. You know, my hands are then maximally protected from the sun. Super cool, no white streaks, super top. But besides the emulsion that I will leave here for you to admire, it looks beautiful, I will show you something else because there is a super cool body cream, and a hair spray. Because when you go to...

Friends, of course, we think that nothing will happen with the hair, but they fade not just like that, you know, a cry for help. So, this is how you open up before going out and do it better than I do. This wonderful beauty will be happening just like this, and now I will show you how body lotion looks on the hand. I'll show you how it's done, it opens up. By the way, it's quite simple, even with a claw prosthesis, I managed it very smoothly. Look how greasy it is. And then you apply all of this so that your hands will be good because you know that the skin on the face, well, you can try to do something with it later at a cosmetologist, but hands, hands. That's what reveals your age. So, if you watched the series recommended by HKS, you already know about this. So, this kind of beauty, look, everything is absorbed, there won't be a snowman or Santa Claus effect when you go to the beach like, Hello, and this is not all there is.

Their latest innovation, their latest invention, I'm really excited about it because my lips are constantly drying out, and of course, excessive sun exposure affects it too. It's such a cool balm with SPF that I consider suitable for daily use. It's very compact and cool to carry around. I put it here for our friends to see. Your melanoma rescue team, take care of yourselves, think about the future, go outside, and enjoy time under the sun together with SPF protection. Friends, an incredible number, June 23, when the swim will take place. When you may be walking the streets of your hometown, I give you a discount with the promo code ducalis, you will receive 30% off all Art and Fact products. You can order it on Amazon, so I advise you to check it out. Besides this line, they have a lot of other cool stuff, and I think you will definitely.

Find something for yourself, I'll repeat. This is my killer, I highly recommend it. This is a very cool, my favorite product from this line. Let's see if you will share my love for [music]. These and the following segments are like, you know, philosophers' rap. Vike brought you to share, so here I came across news that in the USA a woman climbed into some cave, fell, got injured, and I was like, well, I want to dig, not in a cave. And in this situation, you know, I once again delved into this rabbit hole of the internet and found a story from 2009 that occasionally resurfaces about a guy who also climbed into a cave, got stuck there for 28 hours, and died. Getting him out of this crevice was really, practically impossible, it was a crevice that professionals call a birth canal, and it wasn't possible. So, even though 137 people literally tried to get him out from there.

To extract and somehow help, the most reasonable solution in the end was to brick up this cave, pour concrete inside, and outside they placed a commemorative plaque in my honor. I really like this guy. I have huge questions. So, there are professional speleologists, scientists who study caves, well, it's questionable, but okay. Everyone has their own interests. I am a sociologist, we study anything that happens in the world, so it's not for me to stick my nose here. Besides speleologists who obviously, at least in terms of safety techniques, understand that it's not necessary to climb anywhere alone, there are also diggers, guys who, I can't even remember the correct name for them, it's like cavers, divers who descend into dark caves and enjoy being there, and then there are those cavers who just climb into some incomprehensible narrow openings, and.

Sometimes it is also called speleotourism out of respect for people who may be watching this video and enjoy climbing into some incomprehensible crevice alone. I want to say that these people are closer to the category, because I absolutely cannot imagine a situation in which you would want to climb somewhere unknown without knowing what awaits you there, besides death. I swear, there is a wonderful, very illustrative film The Descent about how they climbed like that, and various monsters were found there. This seems to me to be the least that can happen to you. While I was sitting and reading stories about these people, I discovered a variant of death where a man got stuck, started to realize that he probably wouldn't get out, and instead of a painful death, he just took a knife and stabbed himself. Another man swam to the bottom of the sea to retrieve another guy who had died there 10 years ago, found him and brought him back.

He wanted to pull this corpse out and as a result, he died together with it because he panicked, and here is such a wonderful story. I have a huge question, I swear, this segment is called I don't understand. There is Freud who tells us about the death drive. Maybe there are psychologists who talk about how for some people, it's an opportunity to deal with stress from the outside world and real life. And in this way, work through it. But I really don't want to forbid these people anything. Let them. But I absolutely can't understand it. I mean, even with my level of empathy, I can't put myself in their place enough to feel like, Wow, that's great, I want to get in there.

Damn, these stalactites, this mud, this feeling that you can't move, and you literally have to crawl like a caterpillar, it's called the caterpillar method, crawling through and thinking whether you'll die or not. This, in general, seems to me... I mean, I even understand people jumping with a parachute, I understand people who are like, I'll go to Everest, I can understand everyone in some way or another. It doesn't mean I will do it, but I can somehow explain to myself why it's happening. But these dudes, they are a mystery to me, I swear. And probably the scariest thing in all these situations is that they do it alone. This seems to me like some kind of natural selection because when at least it's done in groups, I'm like, Okay, if something happens, maybe they can somehow watch out for each other, but when you climb alone, in my opinion, it's a very sophisticated way to get rid of your life. That's what I'll say so that YouTube doesn't ban us.

So to speak, I won't block anywhere. In general, I don't understand. I hope that if there are people among you who do this non-stop, and they sing tourists, they will somehow explain to me now what exactly motivates you to do this. I want to say that this is my worst nightmare, and I don't wish anyone to end up in such a situation, again, neither you nor any of your close ones or acquaintances. And if you still decide to get into some kind of earth hole, literally, I don't even know how to call it otherwise, at least inform all your close ones in advance. Otherwise, it will be like the movie 127 Hours when he forgot to tell someone. And this, let's say, added a burden to all the people involved in his life. In general, friends, I suggest you engage in sublimation, so to speak, and look for risks in safer situations. For example, try to step out of your comfort zone by trying to change your style, make some unusual clothing combinations, at the very least.

Will you stay alive? Well, at most, someone might die of envy of the beauty that turned out. Recently, I had a sort of discovery. I was scrolling through L moda and found a cool brand there called. Their slogan sounds like reflect yourself. I'm like, well, beautifully, let's find our reflection. Because, as I've already told you, there are many personalities inside, and each one needs some support in style. I love to combine different, let's say, things from different operas, and I managed to do it only with nude items, which is super cool. Firstly, look, today I got ready for our shooting with a lot of layers, and in this way, I adjusted the level of transparency, and I have this cool shirt, like a lumberjack. But look, it met Justin Timberlake in his denim era. And I also played with complete looks made entirely from the brand's clothes. I'll show them to you, and I'll also publish them on Telegram. We'll discuss everything there, and again.

It's so cool that there are places where there are stylists, and depending on the mood, I can vary how I will go out today. It's great that everything is really in one place. So you can put together a basic but not boring wardrobe, buy branded clothes on Lamoda. Being a generous and stylish soul, I give you a 15% discount code. You can find it right here below in the description. There will also be a link to the brand's store and the terms of using this code. So, friends, let's experiment without harming our health and without risking your health, subscribers. I'm taking a risk. Let's go. And again, it's a late night, not a specific reason, but a topic that concerns me, so to speak, a reflection, like we had about inheritance. I can't understand why at the age of thirty, Anastasia Volochkova is experiencing such hate. I will explain now why I'm even talking about this.

I remembered everything because I stumbled upon some fresh video where she is giving what seems like an interview to a girl cosplaying as Naga of some sort. I'll call it that. She is there acting all silly, like a jester. My grandma would probably say clownery because she already knows the word but doesn't know what it means. So, there's a lot of hate as if she did or said something, but in fact, there's nothing like that. She didn't say or do anything. And overall, I started thinking, what do I know about Anastasia Volochkova and why everything I know about her is usually involuntarily painted in the maximum negative light and deservedly so. I just can't even understand. In my value system, not just bullying, but contemptuously negative attitude is worthy of a person who is very vile or who, I don't know, caused incredible moral, physical, financial damage to a huge number of families. But I don't really understand what she did, and in general, I

I naturally went to see what I was doing, naturally, I went to the archive. So, I went to see, firstly, her career professional path. Actually, guys, she was a really good ballerina. She performed in big theaters, danced the main part in Carmen Suite in London, and they say she was invited to Plisetskaya. We will leave all the sources. I'll say right away that I'm not claiming any super knowledge here. Maybe in the comments, people will come and say, Anastasia beat my cat, kicked me out of my house, and cursed my family for twelve generations. I will listen to you. I just didn't get the impression that she was such a bad person that we all should mock. No matter what she did, people say, Oh, she's silly. And I have one more thesis.

An interesting point of view. I will tell you about it later. So, she performed in many places. I really like the story that at her ballet school, they not only didn't want to accept her, but also criticized her physical abilities, and she graduated with honors. So, she is really not quite a petite ballet dancer. We are used to seeing that. But even so, I read various reviews of her performances back then, and people noted her incredible charisma, how she attracts attention. If you look at her young photos, she is indeed a very beautiful girl. I can easily believe that the whole Moscow was running after her, maybe even more. Because, again, I was looking at some lists of her admirers, and suddenly Jim Carrey was discovered there. And this is confirmed by people close to Anastasia and from his side.

I think that Jim Carrey, you know, as a PR, let's skip this rumor. I mean, you understand that the person really had a great future, he had prospects, and I just can't understand why it seems like they are demonizing him because, guys, for you to understand the level, I have already watched some kind of project Confession where they tell these various heroes strange stories about themselves and so on, and I still don't understand. And you know what I realized, it seems to me that she, in a way, sounded a bit ahead of her time because if such a character who was successful in some industry there and then started to be too scandalous, yes, because a lot of criticism is associated with the fact that she dresses in a certain way, she wore some sequins, feathers. She constantly somehow overly exposed herself. She really wanted.

She paid attention to herself and behaved like a Diva. I swear to you. It seems to me that if she had started doing this in the tenth years instead of the zero years, we would have treated her like the Russian Julie. I think about it for the umpteenth day because I look at these photos from the Maldives with some shells and so on, and doing the splits, I think, Well, this is camp, the embodiment of absurdity. It's as if it's intentional, I swear to you. Just think about it. Maybe she just needed to be a little... She can't influence this, but just hypothetically, I think if she... How should I put it? Went off the rails, as we call it, in another period, everyone would have taken it, and I think now we can even observe this micro tilt in her Resurrection. I'm starting this tilt, please. Just darn it, I'm looking, I was looking for some problematic situations with her. Sorry, but when.

From a fly to an elephant, they are making a big deal out of it, oh my neighbors from Volochkovo, they filmed that she pees under the Christmas tree in her yard. I think, well, in this situation, it's clearly the neighbors because, well, for me, it's quite understandable. So she went under the Christmas tree in her yard. Well, okay, it's her private property, we are all people. Then there are some videos where she's somewhere drinking, saying something. Why do you film a drunk person? I mean, you understand, it's just like a vicious circle where they don't let her do anything at all, and everything turns into some kind of absurdity. Although, as if nothing human is alien to anyone. Let me speak in parables. Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone. And who hasn't gotten drunk and hasn't talked nonsense with friends? I mean, you know, there really weren't people around her who could support her when she...

I started to say, well, to stray from the clear path, and there were only people who wanted, I don't know, some clickbait. By the way, I really liked the quote by Tsiskaridze. I am actually a fan of Tsiskaridze, let's be honest, he really pleases my eyes and ears, and he seems to be the only person, probably, maybe someone from his former circle reacted somehow. Well, in a human way, I will read the article, and everything related to Nastya - it's a very big tragedy. She started as one of the best outstanding ballerinas, very complex circumstances, complex human actions, not only hers but also those of the people around her, led to a quite complex result. Sometimes it happens when you get stuck in the swamp and can't get out of it. I really love her, the way she used to be, I met her, I treat her very tenderly. I swear, I want to subscribe to her, I mean, maybe I did, maybe I really found out.

I justify some very bad person, but here's my impression. I could be wrong. I'm just a person, it's as if a real person stumbled, and instead of helping him up, society is just rolling downhill amazingly. Let's put a GoPro on his heel and see how far the fall will go. Well, it's a strange story in general. I am in favor of taking a step back, but it doesn't always work out, you see. How many years has it existed in my information space too, I never really thought about it. And then at some point, I sat down and thought, why did we put a clown hat on her? Maybe she has a chance for some kind of self-reinvention. People somehow reinvent themselves. Sorry for the repetition. In general, I don't know, friends. Write your opinion. I repeat, if anyone has insights, please share, but I really want everything to be good for her, maybe it's a refusal of asceticism.

Alcoholic substances will help with this, but I think she has the potential to become a star again, how she feels about herself, but only in someone's public eye. So friends, I remind you that you need to write comments not only to share your opinion but also to ask me a question to which I will answer in the next episode. So it's time for the question. Ksenia, do you like writing reviews? Thank you for repeating the questions I give you as examples. I'm just amazed, maybe you all aced the state exams. I love writing reviews. I believe that not that I wake up in the morning and dream of doing it, but I believe that reviews are a very, very important tool for building, if not a civil, then a healthy society because firstly, I always read them myself when I try to choose something, whether it's a restaurant or a product, and I want to believe that my reviews also help someone, just like what I have learned.

from other people's micro-compositions because sometimes some place super-schedule there is generally not very good you think oh my god am I the only one who fell for this no then you go post-factum to some yelp and like wow this is it Therefore, I believe that reviews should be written not only when something is bad this is by the way very important because purely psychologically Of course, it takes more effort when you don't like something you're like they will trash this product like crazy you need to write and when it's good Thanks to everyone who leaves reviews on lemonade river zone I appreciate it as if we even give points for it Oh, so icy so leave good ones too leave them on Everything even there I don't know at the clinic because there are people who Well, focus on this and I've read so much and written that I've even learned to understand where the paid reviews are And where the real ones are and this is a separate

The world is such that in short, yes, I write, love, appreciate everyone who is involved in the same thing. Friends, in my opinion, it was a wonderful episode where I, from a state of semi-dead worm, turned into a dynamic butterfly at the end, thanks to you. I hope that today you will listen to me, read a little bit about the storming of the Bastille, explore sites on the most interesting way to pollute the Seine, and in general, have a good rest of your day. And with you was Ksyushenka Dukalis, it was a show without a prompter, and we will see you next Wednesday.

БЕЗ СУФЛЕРА: заплыв в Париже под угрозой? Зачем залезать в пещеры? Волочкова — русская Джулия Фокс?

Привет, незнакомец!  В Дукалити Индастриз ценится образовательный контент и нестандартные подходы. Здесь есть над чем посмеяться и над чем подумать. Так что добро пожаловать на борт, и помни — «мир, вероятно, спасти уже не удастся, но отдельного человека всегда можно».

Дукалити

The President of France and the Mayor of Paris announced that swimming events for the upcoming Olympics will take place in the Seine River, despite it being prohibited for the last 100 years.

This decision has sparked a wave of support from ordinary French people, despite the river's history of sewage and pollution.

The announcement reflects the French tendency to embrace unconventional and sometimes controversial ideas, as well as their strong tradition of protest.

The Seine River Flash Mob: A Unique Form of Protest

The French protests against the retirement age reform did not lead to its cancellation.

In response, a civil organization has organized a unique flash mob, encouraging people to swim in the Seine River and, symbolically, poop in it as a form of protest.

The poor water quality of the Seine, including high levels of E.

coli, raises concerns, especially with the upcoming Olympics events being held in the river.

Art and Fact Sun Protection Products: A Review

" The products are available on Amazon and offer a solution to the challenges of sun protection with their unique and effective formulas.

The Fascination with Dangerous Cave Exploration

Dangerous cave exploration has led to tragic deaths, with one man getting stuck for 28 hours and another resorting to stabbing himself.

Despite the risks, there is a community of people who enjoy this type of extreme speleology, known as speleotourism.

The psychology behind this fascination is unclear, with some suggesting it as a way to deal with stress, but the speaker personally cannot understand the attraction to such perilous activities.

The Unfathomable Attraction to Extreme Solo Caving

The speaker struggles to comprehend the motivation behind solo caving, considering it a sophisticated way to risk one's life.

They express a strong aversion to the activity and a fear of the potential consequences, referencing a movie where a similar situation led to a difficult outcome.

The speaker encourages taking fashion risks instead of endangering one's life, and promotes a clothing brand, offering a discount code to the audience.

The Misunderstood Career of Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova

Anastasia Volochkova was a successful and charismatic ballerina, known for her outstanding performances in big theaters and her ability to attract attention.

Despite her talent, she has been unfairly demonized and mocked in the media without any clear reason or wrongdoing.

Volochkova's unique style and behavior made her a controversial figure, often criticized for being too scandalous and dressing provocatively, which may have contributed to the negative perception of her character.

The Public's Treatment of a Troubled Star

A public figure is being harshly judged for their behavior, with the speaker feeling empathy towards them.

The speaker believes that the star is not receiving the support they need for rehabilitation and is hoping for a positive change in the star's life.

Ksenia emphasizes the importance of writing reviews as a tool for building a healthy society and helping others make choices.

She believes that reviews should not only focus on the negative but also highlight the positive, and she appreciates everyone who takes part in the process.

Ksenia has learned to distinguish between paid and genuine reviews, and she values the contribution of all those involved in writing reviews.
