Dear subscribers,

On December 25, while you might be enjoying the joys of Christmas with your family, don't forget to think about the USSR - which died exactly thirty years ago.

If we do not particularly like the Covid at the moment - because it still very badly chose the moment to return -, some companies have found their account, the pandemic having upset the health industry .

Happy reading, have a great day and cover up, because that's it, winter is here!
