Russian Video: It's raining in Moscow but it's fun !

But video is very optimistic maybe because guys are so young and don’t take the raining so seriously. So let’s follow them and smile even if the weather is not great!

Russian Video: Record-Breaking Strong-Man of 80!

Hello,

This video can make you happy. I personally admire videos about old people who are in very good shape. This 80 years old man from Dagestan can do unbelievable things. Abdurahman can carry a railway car, lift more than 100 kilos by hands and shows incredible dental power!

I am always very proud for such people! Such videos can really help you: When you watch such people you ask yourself if they can do it why I could not do at least half of it!

Another my favorite person is Valentin Dikul. Read his unusual story here: Svet Sundays: Strong people of Russia – Valentin Dikul!

Russian Video: In Local Train (Suburb of Moscow, Russia)!

Russian Elektrichka

Everyday since we moved to Suburb of Moscow I take a local train to go at work (to Moscow) and back. And I really love to take pictures and shoot videos so I will show you a lot of these stuff. That is interesting even for me because that is absolutely new area for me and I feel a little bii like stranger here.

By the way such local trains we call elektrichka (электричка) in Russian because this train is moving by electrical power.

The video is a little bit noisy because there was another train ran the same direction.
