Russian version of one of cult scenes from Shrek 2.

Dubbing actors: Alexey Kolgan(Shrek), Zhanna Nikonova(Fiona), Vadim Andreyev(Donkey), Lyubov Germanova(Queen Lillian) and Igor Yasulovich(King Harold).

Exactly 22 years ago(on May 19, 2004), Shrek 2 was released at the cinemas(in the United States of America and Canada. In Russia, for example, Shrek 2 premiered on August 19, 2004).

Shrek 2 is one of non-common examples, where the sequel is better, than its prequel. All great things(animation, soundtrack, characters, humour etc), that had the first Shrek movie, had doubled in Shrek 2.

This movie is also the most financially successful Dreamworks movie ever(even by now, the record of Shrek 2 hadn't been beaten). And also, for 6 years, till Pixar's Toy Story 3 release in 2010, Shrek 2 was the most financially successful animated movie ever.

So, yeah, Shrek 2 is one of the best Dreamworks movies ever!

Dubbing actor(Russian):Alexey Kolgan as Shrek.

Here it is-the first Shrek movie, one of the best 21st century movies ever, turns 25 this day(May 18, 2026).

As someone said-Shrek is love, Shrek is life!

In mid-credits scene of Shrek 2, Donkey, after expressing his happiness over his dronkey babies, said:-"I gotta get a job".

And I wonder-which job he had got? (Of course, if he was able to get a job)

В США фильм Диктатор вышел 16 мая 2012 года(в России днём позднее).

Фильм Диктатор уже не первый фильм с участием Саши Барона Коэна, где он высмеивает представителей той или иной культуры или нации: в фильме "Али Джи в парламенте" 2002 года он сыграл Али Джи, британского рэпера ямайского происхождения. Через 4 года, в фильме Борат, он воплотил образ казахского журналиста Бората Сагдиева. Ещё через 3 года, в фильме Бруно, он сыграл манерного австрийского тележурналиста Бруно Гехарда.

И вот, в 2012-м, Саша Барон Коэн сыграл роль адмирал-генерала Хаффаза Алладина, богатого и эксцентричного диктатора из вымышленной североафриканской страны Вадия. По сюжету, адмирал-гегерал Алладин едет в Нью-Йорк, чтобы выступить в ООН, чтобы его страну не разбомбили США и их союзники. Но перед выступлением в ООН, его дядя Тамир Мафрад сбривает его бороду(чем лишает своего племянника одной из его фишек) и на время захватывает власть, пытаясь управлять Вадией рукой Эфавада, двойника Алладина.

А подлинный Алладин, дабы вернуть власть, вынужден объединиться с физиком-ядерщиком Надалем(которого подлинный Алладин однажды приказал казнить по одной незначительной мелочи, и лишь благодаря палачу, который не стал убивать Надаля, Надаль выжил) и Зои, активисткой борьбы за гражданские права.

Kenji looks very mad. And Bunny is scared.

Нашёл эту уматную штучку в одном магазинчике в своём родном Хабаровске. И хоть на обороте надпись UK only(только для Соединённого Королевства(Великобритания), тем не менее, мне не пришлось ехать в Британию, чтобы купить её.

On May 11, 1891, exactly 130 years ago, during his eastern journey across the Asian countries(including Siam(nowadays Thailand) and Japan), Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich had faced with one ultranationalist Japanese policeman, Tsuda Sanzo, in the city of Otsu. Tsuda Sanzo used his sabre to kill Nicholas Alexandrovich, but in OTL, Nicholas Alexandrovich, despite being wounded, was able to survive thanks to his cousin George, Prince of Greece and Denmark, who knocked down Sanzo with his walking cane. And despite Sanzo's actions were heavily condemned by the vast majority of the Japanese nation(Sanzo's family had become outcasts and the citizens of Otsu even tried to rename their city to not tarnish their city with the accident), Nicholas Alexandrovich had become pretty much racist towards the Japanese people, and, likely, it became one of the reasons of Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.

But what would have happened, if Nicholas Alexandrovich was killed in Japan? So, it's an alternate May 11, 1891. Prince George of Greece and Denmark tries to knock dowm Tsuda Sanzo, but unlike OTL, he fails and Nicholas Alexandrovich, shortly after being severely wounded by Tsuda Sanzo, dies at the age of 22(just few days prior to his 23rd birthday).

What would have happened next? Would Tsuda Sanzo had been sentenced to the death penalty? (Alexander III of Russia, from one hand, wouldn't have had much desire to go on a war with Japan due to his oldest son's death. But from other hand, he definetely would have demanded from the Japanese court to sentence Sanzo to death. In OTL, Sanzo was sentenced to the hard labour for the rest of his life).

Would Georgy Alexandrovich(Nicholas Alexandrovich's younger brother, who would have succeded Alexander III of Russia, if Nicholas Alexandrovich had died prior to late 1894) had been able to be a better emperor, than his older brother in OTL? (Let's suppose, that Georgy Alexandrovich doesn't die in 1899 and thus he keeps ruling Russia in the 20th century as the Emperor George I of Russia)

And how Nicholas Alexandrovich would have been remembered by the nowadays people? (In OTL, he became pretty much despised, as he had failed to save Russian Empire from its collapse)

Впервые в мировой истории компьютер победил человека в шахматах. Тем более, что советский и российский гроссмейстер Гарри Каспаров в то время был действующим мировым чемпионом по шахматам.

On May 10, 2005, US president George W. Bush visited Tbilisi, where he was almost killed by Vladimir Arutyunian, Georgian citizen of Armenian descent. Arutyunian tried to get rid of both George W. Bush and Mikhail Saakashvili by blowing them with the Soviet grenade RGD-5. In OTL, grenade had failed to detonate. But let's imagine, that in this alternate May 10, 2005, RGD-5 grenade detonates and while Saakashvili gets severe injuries(yet he stays alive), Bush Jr dies of the wounds in Tbilisi hospital. It's obvious, that Dick Cheney would have become 44th US president shortly after George W. Bush's death. But I wonder, what would have happened next? Would Vladimir Arutyunian had been charged in the USA, thus being sentenced to the death penalty? (In OTL, he was charged in Georgia, and even now, Arutyunian is still in prison) How Cheney could have handled both domestic and international policy? Would the USA under Cheney had directly interfered to the Russo-Georgian War in August 2008? (In OTL, George W. Bush limited himself with the verbal condemns of Russian actions in Georgia. Cheney was more radical, than Bush Jr).

Would Cheney had win in 2008 elections or he still would have lost? And how George W. Bush would have been remembered, if he would have died on May 10, 2005?

8 мая 1886 года, американский фармацевт Джон Пембертон создал Кока-Колу. Изначально напиток был заменой алкоголю и был лекарственным средством. Через некоторое время, рецепт Кока-Колы выкупил предприниматель Эйза Кэндлер, благодаря которому Кока-Кола превратилась в газировку, которая впоследствии распространилась по всей планете(лишь в некоторых странах её невозможно купить).

Среди наиболее известных любителей Кока-Колы был легендарный советский маршал, Георгий Константинович Жуков. Он впервые попробовал Кока-Колу в 1945 году, благодаря американскому генералу Дуайту Эйзенхауэру, который в 1953 году стал президентом США. Маршал Жуков полюбил Кока-Колу и даже попросил американцев сделать бесцветную версию Кока-Колы, чтобы его не обвиняли в "поклонении символу американского империализма" (В СССР Кока-Кола рассматривалась как один из символов американского империализма). По итогу Жуков получил партию в 50 ящиков бесцветной Кока-Колы, созданной на одном заводе в Австрии.
