At 14:35 this Sunday, a fire station in the small German town of Auerbach received a call - an animal was stuck in the city center, he urgently needs help. The fire company does receive such calls from time to time - most often we are talking about cats stuck high in the trees. However, here we were talking about a complete, but let's be honest - frankly fat rat.
Heart-rending squeals of a rat were heard by two little girls who passed by. They were afraid to come close to the animal, but they could not ignore it either. When the fire brigade arrived at the scene - with its entire staff - they decided that help is help, the poor animal must be freed.
Of course, helping a wild rat may not look as romantic as helping a fluffy cat, but, on the one hand, the situation still needs to be somehow solved, and on the other hand, the rat is worse than a squirrel or a wild goose in trouble. So the guys together lifted the hatch, holding the stuck animal on one side and gently pushing it on the other.
I must say that the rat clearly did not starve in the past winter - it took the firefighters five whole minutes to pull the rodent out of the hatch. After their release, they decided to let the poor man go home - down the drain.
The girls who spotted the rat watched the entire rescue operation, and when the rat was finally freed, the little ones approached the firefighters and presented them with a drawing on which the older girl drew a rat. It was very touching, so one of the firefighters even took a picture with the kids.
"All animals are the same, we ourselves treat them differently," one woman commented on the page of the fire brigade, who published a brief account of the incident. "The year starts with great news!" - wrote another person. “Thank you so much for saving the furry ass,” writes Helen from Wales. - I have 8 rats near my house. "I am from New Zealand, specially came here to thank you for your kindness." “Actually, I hate rats, but this poor thing here, my God. I am very glad that everything ended well. " “I just do not have enough hat, because I would like to take it off and bow to you. I am very glad to see that you are saving everyone, not just farm animals or pets."
Suddenly, the rescue of the fat rat resonated in the hearts of people around the world, and people began to specially come to the fire brigade's page to say thank you for this simple act of human kindness.
And if for Europe the salvation of the rat may seem like a rather dubious achievement, then in India there is a whole temple where about 250,000 rats live, and all of them are considered sacred. We talked about this amazing place in our article. "Why People Aspire to Sri Karni Mata Temple".

Rogvolodovich, not Rurikovich: Why Prince Yaroslav the Wise did not love the Slavs and did not spare his brothers
In the official historiography, Yaroslav the Wise for a long time appeared to be an almost sinless ruler, the creator of legality in the Russian lands. In our time, he is already accused of sending several of his brothers to the next world in order to occupy the Kiev throne. But was it only the desire for power that drove Prince Yaroslav? If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity

She did not promote the Germans, did not ruin Russia, did not leave the course of Peter: what is Anna Ioannovna accused of in vain?
Anna Ioannovna, niece of Peter the Great, went down in history with a terrible image. For what they just did not reproach the second ruling queen of Russia: for tyranny and ignorance, craving for luxury, indifference to state affairs and for the fact that the dominance of the Germans was in power. Anna Ioannovna had a lot of bad character, but the myth about her as an unsuccessful ruler who gave Russia to be torn apart by foreigners is very far from the real historical picture
