This is a great video and it is about road rage in Russia. The roads in Russia can become very testing to anyone’s patience. I myself have had many moments when I want to express myself as such over the stupidity that they do in Russia while driving…
These guys decide to go at it and just when you think they are best buddies again, they get mean one more time…
I laughed my head off at this video and yes this is Kyle not Sveta… 🙂
So enjoy a 9 round boxing match on the streets of Moscow…
A Klim Voroshilov KV-1 heavy tank has been raised from the bottom of the Neva River in St. Petersburg. The tank sank during World War II…
A Soviet KV-1 tank which sank in the Neva River near Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) during World War II has been successfully recovered from the bottom of the river in the Kirov district of northwestern Russia’s Leningrad Region.
”Despite the stormy weather and the depth exceeding 15 meters at this place, the operation for the retrieval of the future museum exhibit was successful,” the press service chief for the Western Military District, Colonel Andrey Bobrun, was quoted by the Interfax-AVN agency on Thursday as saying.
The tank was recovered from the Neva by soldiers of the 90th Special Search Battalion of the Western Military District, in cooperation with staff of the Museum of the Battle for Leningrad. The operation was completed on Wednesday at 05:00 GMT.
Experts who examined the tank have concluded that, despite all these decades underwater, it is still in good condition and can now be restored to its original state. The remaining ammunition was taken by specialists of the Emergency Ministry for deactivation.
“There were no remains of the crew found inside the tank, and that suggests that they had escaped from the sinking battle machine,” Bobrun continued. “We can already conclude that the tank was likely to have sunk while crossing the river on a pontoon on the way to the combat area. After determining serial numbers of the units and the assemblies of KV-1, the museum staff will be able to track the fate of the crew and even find their relatives.”
Officials say that the tank, once restored, will be able to take part in historic parades and other activities.
Get ready for a ride. Yes these are Russian kids and they have invented their own Bungee style of fun? Fun? I am not sure if I would find it fun but it takes all kinds to make the world go around and these kids are definitely enjoying life. Lets just hope that they continue to keep their lives…
After you see what this young girl does you will realize that you don’t need a fancy amusement park and wild rides to have a thrill…
The modern Kuban Cossack Chorus sets the date of its creation as 14 October 1811, when its predecessor, the Black Sea Host Singing Chorus (Черноморский Войсковый певческий хор), was formed. The founders of this choir were Kirill Rossinsky and regent Grigory Grechinsky. Over the next hundred years in addition to singing the Russian Orthodox Liturgy in Slavonic, the choir regularly gave public concerts throughout the Krasnodar Krai. These concerts would include classical works as well as folk songs in addition to sacred works…
This is a great video. This choir dates back many years and they have a huge show that they perform. This is just one song out of many. The choir ranges from children to men and women. Great music…
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…
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…

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.
