The road you’ll see in the pictures lies between two Russian Northern cities: Ukhta and Naryan-Mar. And there’s a single road between these two cities. It can’t even be called a "road", it’s a joke. But truck drivers don’t have another choice.
The funny thing is that Ukhta is an important industrial city with plenty oil wells and as we know, oil=money. What’s funny is that oil companies are too greedy to give money to build a good road, plus it’s in their interests…
Now let’s look at this infamous road.
On May 28, is celebrated an official Russian holiday: the Day of the Border Guards.
Both former border guards and active service celebrate it across the country. In Moscow, it is often celebrated in Gorky Park.
In May, the usually quite high temperatures in Russia allow border guards to swim in ponds and fountains. It is also normal for brawls to appear during the celebration as much vodka is involved.
In Russia, 'VIP' people and government representatives drive cars with strobe lights ignoring all traffic rules and not paying attention to simple drivers, which causes a mass wave of discontent in the country. People who are fed up with it, mostly drivers that should often bare these 'VIPs', make protests from time to time.
Here’s one man who expressed his discontent in an unusual but rather creative way :)
This unusual action was held in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. And the Golden Award goes to…
Moscow train called “Aquarelle” transports works of art from the famous Russian museum once a year in the Moscow subway.
The museum staff selected the paintings from its world famous collection. Their 35 high-quality reproductions will be placed inside the ‘art gallery train’ and the passengers will be able to see the famous paintings of the great Russian, Italian, German and British masters.
This is the third exhibition held in the "Aquarelle" train.
I think the idea is very good and it seems that Muscovites appreciate it a lot.
Take a look at what amazing things can be created from colorful paper. Everything you will see inside this post is designed by Russian creative studio People Too. You will understand that paper craft requires a lot of time and patience, but it’s worth it!
This small island looks really cute. It is located in the middle of Artist’s Lake in Krasnoyarsk, Russian Siberia. It would be cool to visit this nice place in the summer.
Some time ago we posted the story about little kitten that was saved by one woman in Shanghai who brought him to her country.
This time the story takes place in Russia. One couple got this little kitty from the streets “all bruised, half-dead with plenty of fleas.”
When Russians stop using old buildings, they often leave them abandoned without demolishing. Take a look at these empty fire station and medical school. They look like places from Silent Hill movie…
I don’t know who did these comparisons but some of them are really funny.
Russian parents went on vacation and left their 16-year-old son at home alone. When they came back home, they saw their apartment just like this :)
Very often Russians park their cars in garage blocks that are sometimes located far from their houses and are built in lines. Well, this tradition has lead to a real spring “car” flood in Moscow. Some unknown company was installing a heating system not far from a block of garages, and afterwards two water wells “mysteriously” disappeared. Guess what? Over 150 car garages were flooded!
Would you like to get more milk from your cows? Some Russians come up with crazy ideas. Inside this post you can find a unique project that is supposed to help cows give more milk. I don’t know if it works or not, but the idea is truly bizarre!
This flying-sailing “monster” was built by Russians in the former USSR. At those times Russians seemed to know how to make water planes look like huge iron “pterosaurs”. I wonder how safe this tank-ship-bird must have been. See more pictures after the break.
This is an apartment of a single guy who did such a mess in just 3 days…
I just let the pictures speak…
