There was a brand of ice cream that came in a small block and it was wrapped in foil. The package was colored blue and silver and possibly white. What brand is it? It's some of the best icecream I have ever had. I can't find it on the internet.
Was it cylindrical? Cylinder and foil are a special type of ice cream "Lakomka". Most likely you ate ice cream of this class. Many manufacturers produce this.
Nope, just a brick of icecream with a foil wrapping.
Square? Rectangle?
Because back in the day the ONLY ice-cream that was sold plain like that, in foil wrapping was the "Plombir."
Loved by many Russians, but not by me.

I remember Plombir, it was good stuff and the one I'm thinking of is most likely a Belarussian product. I'm sure it's the same company that makes the sweetened condensed milk that explodes all over the kitchen when you walk away from it on the stove.
Ukraine's church is being granted autocephaly, which is independence from the Moscow Church. This means they don't answer to the Moscow patriarch but rather to no humans above their own church. This is similar to what happened to the church in the 20's when the USSR took over. Should be no big deal , as nearly all other ex Soviet countries have the same arrangement. But we all know how Russia feels about an independent Ukraine and now even in the religious sphere Russia is threatening a schism.
Numbers are important too, because now without Ukraine, the Moscow church rules over less than half the world's orthodox. I guess Moscow can not recognize it, but this doesn't matter to anyone else. Ukraine's churches will simply "defect" to the newly recognized church. Not all of them will or need to, but a majority already have.
At the root of the problem Russia cannot agree that Ukrainians even want to be independent of them. It flies against their main propaganda that Ukrainians have been hijacked by western forces. No doubt they are claiming that some secret group is bribing people behind this because, again, Russia refuses to recognize that Russian speaking Ukrainians want to be independent.
"According to the Internet-newspaper, firstly, the US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch has met with the head of the UGCC Sviatoslav Shevchuk, who earlier opposed the creation of a Single Local Church, but now has changed his position.
Thirdly, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Payette, visited Athos, and after the meeting announced that he had discussed "important questions of Orthodoxy around the world" with the priests of Athos monasteries."

So now I see, Americans are not only getting involved into assassination of Russians ( Zakharchenko comes to mind,) but they are dictating ( uh, sorry - *consulting*) the religious affairs too.
I think the guy upstairs is watching and rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
It's not going to end up well.
I happen to agree with Pat Buchanan here, and what he writes on a subject;
"Are the American people aware of the costs and risks inherent in such a policy? What are the prospects of Russia yielding always to U.S. demands? And are we not today stretched awfully thin?
Our share of the global economy is much shrunken from Reagan's time. Our deficit is approaching $1 trillion. Our debt is surging toward 100 percent of GDP. Entitlements are consuming our national wealth.
We are committed to containing the two other greatest powers, Russia and China. We are tied down militarily in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, with the War Party beating the drums for another and larger war — with Iran. And we are sanctioning adversaries and allies for not following our leadership of the West and the world.
In looking at America's global commitments, greatly expanded since our Cold War victory, one word come to mind: unsustainable."
The results of the crash of IL-20:
1. S-300 will arrive in the Syrian army.
2. S-300 will be integrated into the Russian control system.
3. EW systems will be used over the territory of Syria.
This will be used in case of a threat to Russian military.
I do not understand, the sky is closed for flights or not.
