Well-trained Pets, Songs about Coronavirus, and Putin on Line One

This week we look at traffic accident trends, a very good boy, and an argument for the statement that music is the best medicine.

• A Kaliningrad husky achieved internet fame this week by waiting for his owner near her place of work (Awwww!). If only our pets were so well trained.
• Russia's Administration for Traffic Safety released a report pinpointing the time of the week when the most accidents happen: Saturday mornings and evenings. We'll let you draw your own conclusions.
• Kids in Russia can now look forward to field trips and summer activities at a controversial recreated WWII internment camp in Karelia.
• Putin, apparently, has opted out of modern gadgets. According to him, when you're the president, you can just pick up any phone and ask to be connected to whomever you want. Nice.
• When police in Yakutia arrived at the scene of a reported stolen horse (in Russian, конь), they found that the victim actually wished to report a stolen bottle of cognac (коньяк). A difficult language, Russian is.
• Got the sniffles? Perhaps a Russian TV host's song about coronavirus will make you feel better.
