Soviet Public Luxury Limo
It deprived the majority of the population of the right to have a private property, including cars. People mainly used the public transportation means, buses, trolley-buses, trams.
And this seems to be a try to make a public luxury car. Kind of multi passenger limo heading by the route “Home – Red Factory – Home”, carrying hundreds of shock workers, with lustrous eyes and great intentions.
No extra doors available. None is supposet to come out before reaching a final destination of Red Factory. (more…)

Neither he is not a military man, just some kind of guard wearing scary military uniform, it seems that he is guarding an antique store, at least that what is written on that red sign. (more…)
Drowned tractor and magic mushrooms
Almost in every Russian village there is a story about a drowned tractor. Many tractors were being drowned during the Soviet period. During Soviet period of Russia all the vehicles belonged to a governmental structures and all the people worked in those structures, there were no any private farmer. So the governmental property was not treated with care. Often drunk tractor drivers were fond of visiting lakes and rivers accompanied with Russian girls for some swimming and just for tractor riding fun (during Soviet period there were almost no passenger cars in private ownership in Russian countryside). Often such trips were finished with a drowned tractor. Just like on the pictures below:
Another violent video
That’s another violent video of a street fight. According to the comments that can be heard while watching this is a story of the guy from Nazi group. Their slogan is “Russia for Russians” and they protest against people who come to northern parts of Russia from southern countries, ex-members of USSR like Azerbajan, Georgia or Armenia.
And here on the video he meets some of the above guys and they try to convince him that southern people are nice.
Bad, bad roads
There is a saying made by a Russian writer Nikolay Gogol “In Russia there are two big problems: bad roads and a lot of fools”. He said this almost 200 years ago, but if he said this today he would hit the point again.
Just have a look on the picture below.
Russian Electronic Music Event “Kazantip 2006″
This is a compilation of photos from different sources about a life on a music event which takes place in Crimea, Ukraine. Thousands of young people from Russia visit this place. It’s situated on the shore of the Black sea, the most southern part of the former USSR.
And of course the place is severely protected. On this picture you can see the guards, the Ukrainian special police squad “Tigers” (this is what written on their backs with white letters). Probably it’s written there just for a bigger effect, to gain more respect for police. But who knows. (more…)
What a ferry line
Estonia is a small country nearby St. Petersburg. It was a part of Soviet Union before, but after 1990 this is an independent state. Ok, nevertheless a lot of people there are speaking Russian and there are some things happening there that might be of our interest.
There are a lot of islands in Estonia, mainly the islands are in Baltic sea.
On these photos one can see a process of making a life on an island more comfortable. Somebody wanted to have a Lexus car cruising from one end of his island to another. So he rented a fishers boat to move the car to an island. (more…)

Gregory Perelman and Bin Laden screenshot
This a Yahoo.com screenshot of the article about Gregory Perelman, the mathematician who refused million dollar prize and Fields medal, by which he was awarded for Poincare conjecture solution, one of the hardest mathematical tasks of 20th century.

In related posts down at this page you can see a link to an article how Russian TV media number one took his old photo and changed his appearance (his suit and tie) to present it before hundred million audience in night news programm.
And here is a screenshot of Gregory Perelman article in Yahoo, and Bin Laden, the terrorist number one photo occasionally was placed by banner rotating system of Yahoo on the same page.
