Game soundtracks are a way of life.

Okay, perhaps not so much the latter, but video game soundtracks often leave a special mark—and there is one streaming service with almost every soundtrack you could ever want to listen to.

The complex is in the town of Kharp – north the Arctic Circle – and about 1,200 miles northeast of Moscow. The colony is considered one of Russia’s toughest prisons. Most of the prisoners here have been convicted of grave crimes. It was once part of the GULAG system of forced Soviet labor camps, according to local media. Last month, after a 20-day journey, Navalny said he was in excellent spirits and “glad” he finally made it.“I am your new Father Frost,” he joked in an update posted on social media by his lawyers. Navalny’s spokeswomen Kira Yarmysh said last month she believed the idea is to make his life harder and put him further out of reach. “They are just trying to make his life as unbearable as it possibly can be.” Supporters had lost touch with Navalny for more than two …
