During USSR times there were a lot of propagandistic posters. But some of them were quite strange and even mysterious. For example this one is about the
development of Moscow city. It says: "Such appearance doesn't fit for Red (communistic) Moscow!" And Red Moscow should look like this...

Most of old Russian cartoons back from the Soviet Era are notable for the landscapes of the fantasy Soviet reality. Totally
childish cartoon plots were taking place on magnificent background of "Stalin's" architectural forms. Just take a look.
This is a video made with camera phone on the lesson of the one of Russian schools. The student shows total disrespect to the teacher, touches her things without
her permission and at the end of the video footage he pushes her and she falls on the floor. I wonder how often such things can be met in modern Russia?
Just some photos from Moscow streets by
the photographer Rulon Oboev.

Russians like to make internet stars from amusing or extraordinary people seen in mass communication media. For example, for some period of time such a star was Chumazik (Dirty-Faced Fellow), a drunken factory worker. The video with this guy was a true hit in 2005 across Russian part of Internet. That was three years ago. But here is another story, the new one. During the press conference of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, that took place on G8 summit, some young man started to throw out propaganda leaflets. This incident became very popular in the Russian part of the
Internet. The reason of such popularity is neither the actions of the young activist, nor the smart reaction of the Mr. President. The reason was the man sitting in the conference hall (you can see him on the picture above). They called him Glazastik (Big-Eyed Guy). Below you can see the short video of this incident - see the guy with strange eyes behind the guy with leaflets, clear at 00.58 of the video. After the video was spread around Russian Internet many photoshopped versions of him appeared, we also include them here.
