With diplomatic relations between Moscow and Washington at their lowest point since the Cold War, turning on Russian television can be an alarming experience. For the past month, Russian media outlets have been punctuated with reports asking people whether they are ready for nuclear war. "If it should one day happen, every one of you should know where the nearest bomb shelter is. It’s best to find out now," according to one particularly fevered report on the Russian state-owned channel, NTV. Russia’s main current affairs show, hosted by a presenter known by critics as the country’s propagandist-in-chief, recently spent two hours warning that Russia would defend itself with nuclear arms. "We’ve had it with American abuse over Syria," the show’s host, Evgeny Kiselyov, told his audience. "Impudent behavior," from the U.S. towards Russia, he said, can now take on "nuclear dimensions."

Last Sunday was the most unusual and jolly day in my life. My mother, father and I went to the circus show. There we saw a lot of clever animals, brave circus artists and funny clowns. We don't often go to the circus, so I enjoyed that evening very much. I laughed a lot because small dogs did a lot of funny tricks and the clowns also told a lot of funny jokes. During the second part of the show we saw tigers. They perfomed nice tricks and jumped through the fire. After the show we discussed it on the way home.
