Экономика «Истребителя демонов»: как аниме-гигант стал спасителем

Анимационная драма о полчищах плотоядных чудовищ вряд ли звучит как классический кассовый хит, но именно таковым в сентябре стал фильм «Истребитель демонов: Замок бесконечности» (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle). Лента установила новые рекорды для аниме — японских анимационных фильмов и сериалов, — заработав более 70 млн долларов за первый уикенд в США и 720 миллионов по всему миру

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 11

The camp of the PMC “Steppe Wolves” resembled the set of “Mad Max” if it had been filmed in Zhytomyr. The tents were covered with camouflage netting woven from local vines. On the roof of the commander’s Jeep, a Toyota Hilux (with a machine gun in the bed), stood a Starlink dish; socks were drying next to it. In the center of the camp, an antelope leg, shot an hour ago, was roasting over a fire made from ammo crates

Криптовалютный спад сводит на нет финансовые успехи 2025 года и оптимизм, вдохновленный Трампом

По мере приближения конца 2025 года благосклонный подход Дональда Трампа к криптовалютам оказался недостаточным для поддержания роста индустрии, который когда-то служил источником всеобщего рыночного оптимизма и энтузиазма. За последние несколько месяцев года рынок цифровых активов потерял 1 триллион долларов, несмотря на то что 6 октября биткойн достиг рекордно высокой цены в 126 тысяч долларов

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 10

The atmosphere in “The Tank”—as the Joint Chiefs affectionately called this bunker, although in terms of oxygen levels it more closely resembled a tin can—was electrified to the limit. On the enormous screens, a red dot representing the North Korean Taepodong-X missile, or whatever those Koreans named it, was executing loop-de-loops over the Pacific Ocean that would have turned any ballistics instructor gray and made any figure skating coach proud

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 9

Zeynab quickly but intelligibly (using three-story Farsi profanity and a diagram on a napkin) explained the crux of the problem to Kevin. Kevin nodded, put on a serious face, and opened Google Maps. “So, North Korea…” he mumbled, dragging his finger across the screen. “That’s somewhere near Australia, right? Where the kangaroos are?” Zeynab closed her eyes. She realized science was powerless. She needed an “Adult”

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 8

The helicopter shook like an old Paykan on a mountain road. Takeshi-san, the pilot in the Hawaiian shirt with a kamikaze headband, held the cyclic with one hand and tried to open a jar of pickled ginger with an army knife with the other. “Turbulence, Alavi-san!” he yelled over the roar of the rotors and the Japanese pop blaring from the speakers. “The crabs are nervous! The ginger won’t open! Bad feng shui!”

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 7

It was Takeshi-san. A legend of the East Asian shadow world. A man who in the 90s transported used right-hand drive Toyotas to Vladivostok, in the 2000s smuggled Iranian oil past sanctions via Malaysia, and now delivered Japanese porn and crabs to the North Korean elite. Alavi knew him from his days in SAVAK. Takeshi was the only Japanese man who could drink vodka with Russians, haggle with Persians, and lie to Koreans simultaneously, all while quoting Basho haikus

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 6

In the “Atrium”—as the generals lovingly called the main control room with a screen the size of a football field—it smelled of expensive Arabica, furniture polish, and the cheap deodorant of the night shift. Duty Colonel General Ivashov (call sign “Concrete,” earned for his impenetrable facial expression) sat in a leather chair, melancholically chewing a cabbage pirozhok bought at the General Staff buffet

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 5

The Assembly Hall smelled of expensive jasmine tea, lacquered wood, and a quiet, polite, yet deadly panic. A colossal digital map of the world spanned one entire wall. On it, China was vast, bright red, and pulsating; Taiwan was also red (though with light cross-hatching indicating “pending return”); and Russia was shaded in a pleasant beige color, referred to in secret party documents as “Zone of Prospective Resource Development” and colloquially as “Our Northern Warehouse”

Operation “Stray Dog”. Chapter 4

The secure comms room resembled a spaceship built from Soviet tank parts. The walls were padded with soundproofing panels the color of “bureaucratic depression,” and the air conditioner hummed with the strain of a dying elephant. On the desk sat a glass of tea with a lonely lemon floating in it like a sunken island. Amirkhan Mousavi was screaming into the receiver of a red phone so loudly that the bulletproof glass separating him from the operators fogged up
