My geography teacher is from Bratsk. It's a city located on the Angara river that flows from Baikal lake. The Angara river then flows into Yenisei river. If my teacher saw that you mapped the Angara and the Yenisei as Lena, he'd find you. P. S. Angara is the only river flowing from Baikal.

Perelman won the Fields Medal in 2006, due to his achievement for proving the Poincaré conjecture, the only solved Millennium Prize Problem. But he's also famous for rejecting most of the award and prize he won.

4:30 yes but USA didnt pay full price for Alaska, and according to the contract, if they dont pay this debt before a certain date (which has already passed, of course), interest will be accrued on this debt every month, so now America owes Russia a certain percentage of the debt. But we, the treacherous Russians, are not in a hurry to remind about this yet so that the debt becomes greater. Keep it on mind ;)

Let's not forget that the entity that made this deal (the Russian Empire) no longer exists, while the USA does exist.
