This is how one Russian company decided to design it’s calendar. They put on each page the one and same episode but drawn according to their point of view of one of twelve countries. The first one is Russia, would you guess the rest?

am i right?
No.
Germany is not your country.
Fail.
I agree except India, not China. Apart from the fact that they drive on the left in India, not the right, so the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Same in Japan. They got it right for England / UK though
…aaand, I just noticed the robot arms and the wheel on the Japanese one. My mistake!
Right it is India, i wrote china instead
wrong again.
they DO drive on the left in japan. and the steering wheel is on the right side, in both ways.
the second last one is ENGLAND, not the UK. It’s a different thing. Although they don’t usually know this in Russia. e.g. once some taxi-driver asked me what language they speak in Scotland… LOL
Hey, Scottish, of course!!
Excellent calendar, really liked it!
In Spain we do not get this type of calendars, maybe calendars where nature, models, footballers, cars are the main theme…
Although, bit offended because Spain is missing… but I still recall being on Crimea on holidays 2 years ago, and always asked if I was Italian…
More candelar posts, please!

Very clever, but terriblly politically incorrect

Viva MEXICO y el tequila cabronesss !!….. LOL
Very niiiice.

In Soviet Russia calendar dates you!
Was everyone’s Anti-spam word “kgb”, like mine? If so, Win.
Ok. Canada does NOT look like that!
Maybe in the Yukon or Northwest Territories.
I have only seen a dog sled and igloo at a winter fair in Québec.
So I’m going to say the second picture is of Antarctica.
It’s not Canada, it’s Greenland
Could be Norway,Finland or Sweden…
Its not Lebanon its Iran -Bokhra carpets seller on the right (its local tradition in manufactoring).
Norway, Finland or Sweden? Since when are we inuit over here?
Mistake,it’s Gronland…i din’t take a god look on Iglo at background,who knows could be Swedish famous Ice Hotel…hehe
Why Inuit? could’t it just be Sami?
The driver may or may not be in Lebanon, but he appears to have a Lebanese driver’s license.
Its lebanon, look at the symbol on the drivers ID, its also on the Flag of Lebanon
Lebanon looks nothing like that, either. No desert there. Should be more one of the GCC countries.
ГГГ тема)))
why does american driver hold tetris in his hand?
tetris was invented in Russia. It is well known fact!
They put the wrong style speed limit sign in the USA one. Also it would be in miles.
Yes, Liberia, Burma and USA. The only countries on the planet which not yet have the metric system. UK and it’s slave countries also have troubles letting go of stones, miles and feet.
LOL
The first drawing looks almost like the driver was in Finland, with the white-and-blue police car and the blue uniform on the officer. The truck’s interior is definitely Russian, though… but what’s that stuff that the driver has in his left hand? Looks like salmiakki/salt liquorice – that would definitely be Finnish. Shouldn’t it be a Vodka bottle if the driver is Russian?
…and why do all of the French drivers have their heads sticking through the roofs of their cars?
Cos the smell of garlic inside is unbearable.
A knob on a steering wheel? I don’t think Canadians have such a thing, unless you drive an old John Deer or MF tractor…

You people pay toooo much attention to the smalest details,
I calender like this is to look at the humorism side of cultures,
and not the analytical nerve wrAcking one ….
I’m totally agree with you.
Oh, the stereotypes!!!
The Russian drawing is still the funniest – I like how the radio brand is “SORY” and the Medved about to eat the Militsiya.
Well the year has only 12 months – can’t please everyone!
apa la bodoh
in india the cars are right hand drives. just like japan and the UK..
Lol, for the dude who said ‘Antarctica’ – there are not indigenous peoples on Antarctica, mostly Europeans (or people of European descent e.g. Australians). Part from that it’s a pretty cool calendar, if this is what they have in Russia then I’m soo moving there
.
BTW since when does Oktoberfest have a ‘c’? lol
Can you give me a link to the site of the trucking company that made this calendar? I sent the link from your page to my Russian friend and she got offended and said that a Russian did not make this calendar.
We made this calendar. The link to our site is missing. Check this out http://blog.knockknock.ru/2008/02/06/mir-glazami-dalnoboyschika/#more-199
Actually it’s not true)))It was made by “knock knock” design studo, where i’m working)))and link, especially for you http://knockknock.ru/
What holds the german guy on the right in his hands? Is it a video? Theres no relation between the germans and videos.

Yes it’s porn. Originally there was a porn picture on he door, but our client refused to aceept it.

I would like Persia to have a more prominent role in your next calendar, please. Please don’t make me send someone to your office to see you about this.

Actually EU member states have EU driver’s licences.
I like the homeowner shooing the ninja away with a broom in Japan.
Also my favorite. Makes me wish I could buy my own.
In the driver license…
¿HUAN DE LA VEGA?
It should be… JUAN DE LA VEGA.
Anyway, great job!
Мужики ахуительно рисуют! красавчики!
I can’t see any bottles of Vodka on the russian piece. Strange! O_O
Yeah, Russians without vodka? O_O
Lebanon doesnt look like this at all!! it should be iran maybe!lebanon is well developed country especially the center of the city beirut!!!
one culture or country is missing :ISRAEL
Yeah, that car would be exploding if it were Lebanon.
Did you wanted Israel,jew?
There is a mistake in the Mexican Poster. The idol hanging in the middle it is not mesoamerican. It from ancient peru. They were first discovered in northern Per (Sican), and the most famous ones are from the period lambayaque (700-1300dc). They are known as TUMIS (Sacrifice Knives)
Where’s Ireland ?
The driver drunkenly veered the car into a bog, and was unable for drawing.
For all your fevered detail-policing, none of you ever bothered to even notice that the months are out of order! November and December are switched. Much more obvious than the etymology of the religious icon hanging from the Mexican’s rearview, I dare say.
england missing goal in tv.. LOL
That’s a great callendar, would buy !
This is so amazing!
My favorite calendar ever!
Why “russian” calendar-there is a many countries? “International” Or i’m wrong?
I like it, I think it’s clever
Wrong: In India, we have right hand drive.
Oh yeah!
Mexican Trucks, form the yunaited esteits, Viva Nasha Rossiya !
