Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meets Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono amid increasing tensions around the disputed Kuril islands.

GONZO heads up the California coastline towards Silicon Valley, witnessing much of the economic activity along the way that makes up the fifth largest economy in the world. When it is 5 o’clock, Max and Stacy stop in for a rest at a winery in Paso Robles to ask about the issues around agriculture and whether or not Trump’s trade war has impacted business. Before crossing into San Francisco, they stop in at Monterey to talk to economist Constantin Gurdgiev, who explains that modern America is eerily similar to the Soviet Union where dissent is suppressed, opinions are de-platformed and not all voices are allowed to be heard. The disconnect between reality and rhetoric gets wider and wider as a result of refusing to hear alternative ideas. GONZO then heads to San Francisco for the next leg of their journey.

Helicopter footage captured a bird’s eye view of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, displaying the spaceport’s surroundings including the retractable rocket tower, testing facilities and the launch pad.
The cosmodrome was originally built by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s as the base of operations for the Soviet space program. Russia now rents it under a lease valid until 2050. The cosmodrome spans over 7,000 square kilometres (2,700 square miles).
The next manned expedition from Baikonur to the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for December 3.

A religious icon and a flag fragment: Olga Khoroshilova’s family managed to preserve these two relics of the First World War despite the stigma and even the risks incurred by those who owned objects from the tsarist era during the turmoil of the Russian revolution and the time of the Soviet Union.
Istvan Petnehazy, 86, was born and has lived his life in the same house in the same village (Mezokaszony in Hungarian, Kosino in Ukrainian), less than a kilometre into Ukraine from the Hungarian border. Although born in 1932, over a decade after the end of World War 1, he keeps mementos of the Austro-Hungarian Empire era including military photographs of his grandmother’s brothers who as teenage schoolboys were conscripted into the imperial army. Since the end of World War 1 and the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Kosino changed countries – and Petnehazy his nationality – four times: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the Soviet Union, and finally Ukraine.
