By the way, why is it a pack of "barking" and not "barkaing" dogs from the Western kennels?

Because in the suffixes of the active present participles, that is, those formed with the suffixes -ushch (-yushch) / -ashch (-yashch), we write the letter u or yu if the participle is formed from a verb of the first conjugation, that is, one with the personal endings -u (-yu), -esh (-yosh), -et (-yot), -em (-yom), -ete (-yote), -ut (-yut). The letter a or ya is written in the suffix if the active participle is formed from a verb of the second conjugation, that is, any verb in -it, except brit ("to shave") and stelit ("to spread").

Hence the pack of dogs from the Western kennels is a laiushchaya, a barking one. Whereas the sneering lackeys are, by way of exception, shaving and spreading, but also spinning, seeing, depending, offending, hating, looking and enduring.

And do not tell me afterwards that there is no use in the political news.
