Back when newspaper photogs knew how to stage a photo.ArchaeoHistories (@histories_arch)After John Dillinger was shot by the FBI in 1934, bystanders rushed to the theater where he was killed to soak their handkerchiefs in his blood while thousands mobbed Chicago’s morgue to have their pictures taken with the corpse of the infamous bank robber.
John Dillinger, one of the most notorious bank robbers in American history, was gunned down by FBI agents on July 22, 1934, outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. Dillinger had become Public Enemy No. 1, the face of crime during the Great Depression, and a symbol of both rebellion and menace. His death sparked a frenzy among the public, turning the end of his life into a bizarre spectacle.
After news broke of his shooting, curious onlookers rushed to the crime scene. Some reportedly dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, believing it held some sort of power or souvenir value. The fascination did not end there. Thousands descended upon the Cook County morgue to view his body. The morgue, overwhelmed by crowds, allowed people to file past Dillinger’s corpse for one final glimpse of the man who had eluded capture for months and embarrassed law enforcement with his bold prison escapes and daring heists.
People posed for photos, laughed, and treated the event like a social gathering. This scene of morbid tourism highlighted the strange celebrity status Dillinger had achieved. To some, he was a criminal menace. To others, he was a folk hero who robbed banks during an era of economic despair.
Dillinger’s death marked a turning point for the FBI. It gave the agency national credibility and helped solidify J. Edgar Hoover’s legacy. But the reaction of the public served as a chilling reminder of how infamy, even when born from violence, can captivate the American imagination.

Russia’s state-owned energy giant Gazprom said it supplied 40.4% more gas to Georgia in 2025 than in the previous year, as part of a broader increase in gas exports to Central Asia and the South Caucasus.
Gazprom also said it increased gas deliveries to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan by 22.2% in 2025. It added that 2025 marked the first time it delivered more gas to China than to Europe, with exports to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline reaching 38.8 billion cubic meters.
Data from Georgia’s National Statistics Office (Geostat) for January-November 2025 show that petroleum gases and other gaseous hydrocarbons, a category that includes natural gas, ranked as the second-largest imported commodity from Russia. During this period, Georgia imported 572.5 tons of these products from Russia, with total imports valued at USD 160.9 million. This marks a year-on-year increase of 73.7 tons from the same period in 2024, when imports stood at 498.8 tons, worth USD 140.2 million. Geostat has not yet released data for December 2025.
On December 29, the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNRC) decided to keep electricity and gas tariffs unchanged for both household and commercial consumers. The temporary electricity tariffs will remain in effect until March 31, 2026, while natural gas tariffs are set to stay in force until December 31, 2026.
Russia was Georgia’s primary natural gas supplier until 2007. However, following the launch of the Baku–Tbilisi–Erzurum gas pipeline in 2006, the deterioration of bilateral relations amid the 2006 spy row, and the August 2008 war, Georgia gradually shifted its reliance toward Azerbaijani gas. By 2009, imports from Azerbaijan had surpassed those from Russia.
