Russian diamond mines. The places where the most of Russian diamonds are being mined. Founded in Soviet times located in the place you can get only on a plane but some people

live there permanently. Magnificent Northern nature, short Summer of just one month, but those are one of the most fruitful diamond locations in the world.

When the car becomes out of use to its owner, or when it gets to tired and refuses to keep further service it's a normal thing to leave it rusting under open skies in post Soviet countries. Officials don't fine people for that and don't tow cars away, so

many small streets or public yards have one or two of those that would not move by themselves away again. Some of them even get painted by locals to a color of a curb or of a nearby wall. Those ones stay on streets of Ukraine.

Lexus could pay those guys some benefits for this real life crash test of this Darwinism award winning frontal crash event when two lexus drivers were stubborn enough not to give the lane to each other. As a

result both Lexus suvs are non-usable but the drivers and the passengers just got scared and got no physical damage for their health. Could be a perfect ad for Lexus brand safety issues.

Quite often in everyday life people, far from aviation ask me a question “Is it true that on the plane like on the train everything (from the toilet) goes out?” Seriously, if we can see the tracks through the toilet hole on the

train, it’s probably not working the same way on the plane. Does it mean that the products of our life activity don’t fly outside? First, let’s see what we have on the plane to keep everything clean and hygienic.

I always like looking at such photos. Vintage chronicles of world war 2 are especially interesting to watch, how people looked like how things looked

like - all that emotions etc. This is another previously not seen here part of World War 2 photos and some of them are in color.

The village of Porchinikha was made by soldiers as a base for atomic submarines. It’s the most northern point of the Kola Peninsula on the Barents Sea shore with the road. There are mistakes in maps, soviet cartographers put this road on the map instead of a corvine path. Drive on the off-road? I wouldn’t be that sure. I found this place long time ago, when

discovered a world of geocashing in 2004. One of the virtual caches buried here as well. It's amazing but since 2003 (the date of the cache burying) no one took it, everyone puzzled: "Is it a foot or a water path?" Everyone saw satellite photos and couldn’t get how it is possible at all to get here without taking off the ground.

Here are two videos one of a granny that plays some blues on the streets with a... light bulb, asking for some coins.

The other one is about the cranes, the construction cranes and how do they behave during the stormy weather.

Those are photos from Lithuania when it was a part of Soviet Russia. All the photos made in the time period of

1960s-1970s but what's most touching people on those photos look almost like they look like now.

As Russians there are only two problems in Russia: roads and fools. But time is changing, so are the problems to deal with. As well

as the way to do it. Environmental, for example. Yes, Moscow streets are dirty. Right, Moscow cars are not squeaky clean.
