Statue of an Angel found in a Mine in Russia

It boggles the mind. Is it some type of hoax? I cannot find a translation to English. Apparently, the statue is on its knees, so it is very tall.

Question: Why is Twitter worth 44 Billion-It's a forum like DU?

Twitter is a forum like Democratic Underground, just a different format. I know advertising has a lot to do with it, but 44 billion dollars!
Many of these forums have come and gone over the years. Why is Twitter worth so much?

No Sign of Top Russian General Valery Gerasimov at Victory Day Parade
"There was seemingly a notable absence from Russia's 'Victory Day' parade in Moscow on Monday—Valery Gerasimov, chief of general staff of the Russian military, was nowhere to be seen."

"However, the BBC reported and several military experts on Twitter noted that Gerasimov was not present during the parade in Moscow. In an event like this, a senior military figure Gerasimov would usually be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin."

Heard that he had been injured in Ukraine, but not able to find any updates on his condition.

Fresher Breath while wearing a mask

Brush your gums as well as your teeth with toothpaste, mouthwash and baking soda vigorously. Use dental floss. Gargle with mouth wash for several seconds. Some people may not be able to use baking soda. This is not medical advice, just a home remedy.
Any other suggestions are welcomed.

A human being deliberately chokes the life out of another human

while he is shackled. It is so depraved, it is beyond belief. Yet, he expects God to forgive him or he feels justified taking someone's life. It is as if he did nothing wrong. He took a life, he will have to answer for it.
