zReportage.com Story of the Week #773: TUESDAY February 9, 2021: ‘Russia’s COVID-19 MYSTERY’ from ZUMA Press award winning photographer Sergei Bobylev of TASS: Russia’s claims of an extraordinarily low mortality have been widely dismissed as implausible for months by foreign observers and Russian doctors alike. Every other indicator, from packed hospitals with long lines of ambulances to mortality among health workers documented by their own associations, has painted a picture of a country hit hard by the pandemic, not one miraculously spared. Russia’s true death toll from the novel coronavirus pandemic is not about 57,000, as official figures claim, but more than 180,000, the country’s deputy prime minister, Tatiana Golikova, conceded. President Putin’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low. Russia, like many countries, is suffering acute economic hardship after weeks of coronavirus lockdown. Amid rising unemployment, there are signs of growing disillusionment with the Kremlin. Welcome to: ‘Russia’s COVID-19 MYSTERY’

There is an area with two sets of fencing at Border Field State Park in California. Every Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM a United States Border Patrol agent unlocks the gate in the northern fence and allows up to 10 people at a time to enter the zone between the fences to visit with friends or relatives on the Mexican side of the southern fence. At 2:00 PM the gate is closed.

zReportage.com Story of the Week #772: TUESDAY February 2, 2021: ‘ARMENIA’S GROUNDHOG DAY’ from ZUMA Press award winning photographers Chris Huby and Adrien Vautier of Le Pictorium: Armenia took a cold shower on November 9, 2020 as history repeated itself and like the movie Groundhog Day – where history repeats itself – civilians are victims again, and the leaders do not see reality. There are no winners in war. 44 days last autumn, Armenia fought a tooth-and-nail defense against Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, home to thousands of Armenians. Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a fierce six-week battle over the region until signing a Moscow-brokered deal to halt the hostilities. For Armenians uprooted from their homes, and for Azerbaijanis returning to uninhabitable towns, ‘It’s going to be very hard to forgive.’ Welcome to: ‘ARMENIA’S GROUNDHOG DAY’
