Culture, Photos, Society

The town Kosh-Agach, situated in Altai republic, was founded by Russian merchants in the far 1820 for trading with the Asian countries. It was the last Russian trade putlet on the path to Mongolia and China, and in the 1880s it even became the Part of China for some time. Now it is the biggest settlement of Altai and the driest

inhabited place in Russian Federation. Also it is one of a few places in Russia where people breed camels. Buy the way, most of the population of the town are Kazakhs, so it's not a secret that Russia is a multicultural state. On some pictures you can see the rain - very rare phenomenon for this place.

truckers who deliver loads everyday, and it is not surprising, because KAMAZ is the regular winner of Paris - Dakar European race. Just see it in action. But what's about Russian militaries? They went even further and made KAMAZ fly. See the footage below.

Hood Nest

Funny, Photos

It turned out, that Russian birds are quite inventive and creative as Russian people as well. We've already told about the pigeon that has made a nest from short wires scattered around the

warehouse of one IT company. But this smart bird has weaved its nest and even layed eggs straight under the car hood. It's quite convenient to travel around without flying.
