After the match between the Russians and the Swedes (3:4), Match TV talked with the best players in our team - Kirill Kaprizov and Vadim Shipachev. All our goals ended up being theirs.

We wanted to get off to a great start, but we were overwhelmed by emotions,” said Vadim Shipachev after the match. - And this played a cruel joke on us. We made a mistake and started to get nervous... At first we didn’t control the game. Then they seized the initiative, but were unable to catch up with their opponent.

You were recognized as the best player among the Russians. Did your eyes sparkle today because you haven’t played for the national team for a long time?

For me, any game, even for the national team, even for the club, is my favorite job. And I want to always do it well. Today our entire unit acted great. All the guys helped, we managed to score some good goals. But since there weren’t enough of them to win, it turns out that we all didn’t play very well. We tried really hard in the end. But the Swedes' goalkeeper did a great job. The result is generally negative. Nobody will praise us for it. The next match needs to start much better.

There were moments.

- But in the second half of the match it was pleasant to watch the national team. And you personally did a double.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's habit of being late for official events has turned against the head of the Kremlin, writes the Swiss newspaper Le Temps.

Last weekend, Putin was the last world leader to attend a ceremony in Paris marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. As the newspaper notes, he did this “to emphasize his status.”

Arriving at the event, which took place near the Arc de Triomphe, the Russian president shook hands with American leader Donald Trump. At the same time, Trump, who took the stage along with other heads of state, was forced to bend over to shake his hand.

In photographs taken by Western journalists, Putin looks like a dwarf compared to other presidents. The photographs provoked the anger of Putin's supporters and ironic remarks from his opponents, notes the author of the article, Emmanuel Grynszpan.

“The TASS state agency, which initially used this photograph in a message, was forced to hastily correct itself and remove it from its website,” the publication quotes.

"For Russian media loyal to the authorities, there is an unspoken Golden Rule: The president should never look short compared to the people around him. Not an easy prescription, since Vladimir Putin is 1.7 meters tall, meaning he is 20 centimeters shorter than Donald Trump.

The heads of Turkey, China and Belarus, with whom Putin meets very often, are clearly taller than him. Official photographers must necessarily get out of the position, shooting it at such an angle that the head Russian President turned out to be at the same level as the heads of others present, in any situation,” the article says.

Social media users erupted in a veritable wave of memes and sarcastic comments, discussing the difference in height between the leaders of the United States and Russia. Commentators also mocked the official news agency's gaffe, predicting that "heads will roll" now.

From childhood we are taught not to return evil for evil. We are told to respond with good to evil.

We are taught that kindness is the best way to resolve conflict, because good should always win.

However, according to psychologist Clifford Lazarus, this style of behavior only tells your offender that by continuing to show aggression towards you, he can achieve what he wants.

There is a logical explanation for this - the so-called Law of Effect .

It comes down to the fact that people strive to repeat the type of behavior that allows them to satisfy their needs, and, conversely, avoid actions that do not lead to what they want.

That is, if you treat a person who is constantly being rude with exceptional kindness, you will show him that his unacceptable behavior creates... your love for him.

In other words, consistently showing kindness in response tocoarsenessor aggression, you seem to encourage the person to continue behaving rudely.

Of course, this doesn't mean you have to lose your temper every time you encounter someone who behaves inappropriately.

However, very It's important to remember that sometimes you can be too kind.

If you are not happy with something, it is very important to say so in a timely manner.

It often turns out that a person who is always kind to everyone is simply trying with all his might to avoid conflict. But you shouldn't do this.

This is not about behaving like a pig in response to rudeness. But if the need arises, you need to fight back. You need to be able to stand up for yourself, even if a conflict arises that you so want to avoid.

Remember this: “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”

However, this biblical commandment does not mean that you should always turn the other cheek. If you constantly do this, then very soon your entire face will be covered in bruises!

How to encourage good behavior and prevent people from being rude or aggressive towards you

1. Don't encourage people to behave towards you in ways that make you feel uncomfortable.

2. Actor Alan Alda gives one very good piece of advice: “Be honest with others, but maintain relationships with people only as long as they themselves are honest with you.”

3. Learn to fight back and, within reasonable limits, insist on your own.

4. Do not encourage rudeness towards you.

5. If someone is rude or inappropriate towards you, speak up. There is no need to smile back and pretend that everything is fine.

Think good, do right, experience positive emotions! May everything be fine with you!
