Russian Video: Yes They Have Bridges in Siberia…

This is for those people who think that Siberia is not modernized at all. So after you see this video you will realize that Siberia has hyways and bridges to transverse Russia in style… 🙂

Well at least Sveta and I think that they are good roads and would travel them with joy…

I believe this is an old railway bridge that was turned into a bridge for cars. The new railway bridge is to the right as you see in the video. Also when you get to the end of the bridge you will see old railroad tracks…

What a cool bridge…

Russian Video: Russia’s Underground Storage Food Reserves…

Top-secret underground facility stores strategic food reserves

A secret underground facility managed by the Federal Agency for State Reserves (Rosreserve) in Central Russia stores strategic food reserves for use during war or other emergencies.

Rosreserve officials decline to say how many people this food supply could feed or for how long.

An underground complex is located inside a mine. Each tunnel is filled with bags containing granulated sugar, cereals, canned food and other foodstuffs. The temperature is kept constant at 8-10 degrees Celsius.

This underground food depot is only a part of the huge Rosreserve system. Over 100 similar secret depots are scattered all over the country…

Russian Video: Hungry Begging Bears…

Exhausted by hunger, a wild bear family in Russia’s Far East has taken to highways begging local people for help.

The three bears – evidently a mother and two cubs – were first spotted by a local trunk driver. The man stopped his vehicle to take some rest, when the furry group came by. At first, he was scared stiff, but then realized the animals were not willing to hurt him.

As it turned out, the bears were starving – all the food has disappeared from forests after intense cold hit in the region.

In about half an hour, curious locals gathered on the highway to watch the bear family enjoying their meal. The animals demonstrated a particular liking to condensed milk and soda, so people were going back and forth with new cans and bottles.

The spectators, however, warned each other not to come too close, as a single hit from a bear’s big paw can easily be fatal for a human.

Although there have always been plenty of bears in the region, they rarely come out of the forests. Hunters say it is a bad idea to feed them, as the animals could get used to people’s help and forget how to hunt. In addition, as nice as they can be, the bears will always remain aggressive, thus posing a danger.
