It’s quite unique, so don’t miss it…

Worker and Kolkhoz Woman is a 24.5 meter (78 feet) high sculpture made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.
The sculpture was removed for restoration in the autumn of 2003 in preparations for Expo 2010. The restored statue uses a new pavilion as its pedestal, increasing its total height from 34.5 meters to 60 meters.
It was reinstalled in Moscow few days ago.
Take a look at this compilation of pictures, it’s interesting to see.

Today we will look at how gold bars are made. They then are going into the national gold reserves of Russia.
You’ll see many gold bars. The markings say 99.99% which is the high purity gold bar.
Let me have a couple of bars please

Two Russian traceurs in Saint Petersburg made an incredible jump from a nine-story building (35 feet high) to land on mattresses of the five-storey building roof (22 feet high). It looks very impressive and don’t worry, the two jumps were successful. And this was not some kind of training for a movie just two guys who are passionate about Parkour.
Hats off, guys!

Let’s take a quick tour in a Russian state prison for juvenile males.
They may be young, but don’t be fooled, most of them are robbers, murderers… and there’re even rapists…

Here’s one creative photo-contest. If I got it right, it takes place in Russia.
This is a realistic and extreme type of photos. For example, in the first picture you see a half naked man hanging outside the balcony (lover) and an enraged “husband” is pointing a rifle at him. And a scared “wife” is looking at it with “horror” in her eyes. This scene is called “Lover” or a “Cheating Wife”.
The contest rules are strict: all the elements of photograph should be real (rifle, knife, chain saw, food etc.)
There are several scenarios: “Lover”, “Waiter in a garbage chute”, “Zombie”, “Pickled cell phones”, “Pyramid” (three objects on top of each other), "Fan" and "Fishing".
I don’t know who was the winner but some of the pictures are pretty good ))

There’s a very unusual thing in one Russian city Rostov-on-Don - mosaics in the pedestrian underpasses.
It looks great and there is another amazing feature - the size of mosaics, many of them have a length of up to ten meters. Take a look.

Last weekend, the Yauza river, Russia, was covered in some place by foam normally used to extinguish fire.
I don’t know how it all happened but it must have been fun.

Udachnaya pipe is a diamond deposit in the Daldyn-Alakit kimberlite field in Sakha Republic, Russia. It is an open-pit mine, and is located just outside the Arctic circle. It is more than 600 metres deep.
It’s so huge that I wonder how much time it requires for the trucks to go from the bottom to the top…

The guy wanted to do something to surprise his girlfriend. He decided to give her flowers. Only he did it in a very unusual way.
I would not recommend anyone to repeat such tricks, it is quite dangerous.

In Russia, there is often a lane in the middle of the road which is reserved to police or government officials. You have to possess a pass to drive on that lane. And you can buy a pass like this, but a fake one, anywhere in Russia…
That’s what’s happening here. The guy has a pass, which is quite convenient to avoid the traffic jams…

Looking at this house from afar, many freeze in amazement and wonder how it looks from inside?
The palace is built in the Russian baroque style and it is very luxurious. It’s not for nothing that it is called a palace ;)

I’m talking about a real battle, not one seen in a movie…
These pictures show some training from the Russian Army that took place on the last weekend of September.
Pictures are interesting, you should take a look.

In one of Russia's apartment complexes, someone blocked the drive way lane with his/her car.
A tow truck was called. But it wasn’t enough just to remove the car, people whose cars have been blocked decided to give a lesson to the unlucky drive way blocker…

This story takes place in a Russian town. The dwellers of this house sent a letter to the local newspaper in which they complain about the poor quality of the services. Apparently the workers took planks of the nearby benches to repair the floors and did not even finish the job.
They complain about other stuff like corpses of dogs and cats floating in the nearby river for weeks and also about a big icicle above the entrance…etc.
The truth is that the house would require more than repairing just the floor; I even have some difficulties to imagine people living in there…

They look really spooky ;) And their faces are not marked with great intelligence. Some look like criminals.
I think normal people should avoid random encounters with such guys.

It happened in Russia. Though the engine was damaged, it wasn’t a problem to land. But it was impossible to take off, they had to fix the problem right on place.
They did not even repair the engine, they put a brand new one from Air France.
The difficult part was to work outside and the weather was pretty cold.
You’ll see pics of the replacement and pics of the damaged engine inside the post.

"STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl" is an iconic video game and many people have already played it.
But the virtual world will never compare with the real one. So fans of FPS decided to put the game in reality and they managed to do this.
Role-playing game took place during three days near Vyborg, Russia.
Each player had a status monitor, which responds to anomalies (mini radio transmitters).
There were a lot of hangars and even a lake.

This apartment building was built in Russia a year ago.
I think that the tenants of this building should start worrying about the future fate of their building… There is only one question, how is it possible to construct like this at all?

This officer apparently did not know what to do with all those AK-47 magazines (it seems he had plenty of them), but then he found a solution.
He decided to use them to repair the road and make a little path on his backyard. Look.

This is not exactly a rocket :)
Actually, it's not a rocket at all.
This is...
Well, hit the jump to see ;)

Recently, the President of Russia gave awards to the Olympic winners of last year. It was very fun, just look how good Dmitry Medvedev is at doing faces.
Each picture with his face is very funny. It seems that he is going to pieces when he is around girls

These are the aircraft used for domestic flights in Russia.
It is clear that the planes have not great comfort conditions there. It may well go in the series of There, I fixed it ;)

These photos were taken in a hotel in one provincial town of Russia.
At first glance, nothing suspicious to be noticed. But if you go to the bathroom, then you fully understand the meaning of the word ‘awful’.
Room cost - $ 40 per day. How do you like it?

Here they are - the brightest representatives of Russian hip-hop.
They are trying to look cool enough, but it turns out not so cool…
Some of them are just hilarious.
