Battlefield - Space
Just one photo. A page from some Soviet Russian magazine of the early seventies, from the last months of iron curtain. At that times Reagan was proposing the “SDI” program putting some armaments to space, which was
widely used by Russian propaganda to scare people - giant laser beams in space - no way to shield from them
etc. And for such an illustration the “Battlestar Galactica” poster was used. Here is what the Russian text reads:
Now space is a battlefield. That’s what the American audience was prepared for by mass media long before Reagan came up with his SDI plans. This is a still from the movie “Battlestar Galactica”. As you can see there are a faces full of hatred and laser guns…
Back to the Arctics
Winter is the time to go to the.. ocean. When the weather is steadily below zero and the sun never rises above the horizon it is the high time. High time to go and see the auroras in the land of no-way-getting-there-in-the-summer.
There are no auto roads that way in summer. In winter there is small chance to get there. Even if you have suv or big gas goggler jeep you still can be sure in reaching the shores of the Polar Ocean.
Why people try to reach those salty frozen waters there? Maybe taking a look on the photos can give a clue.
Building A Metro
In St. Petersburg they have almost the deepest subway in the world, according to wikipedia: “The deepest metro system in the world was built in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this city, built in the marshland, stable soil starts more than 50 metres (160 ft) deep. Above that level the soil mostly consists of water-bearing finely dispersed sand. Because of this, only three stations out of nearly 60 are built near the ground level and three more above the ground. Some stations and tunnels lie as deep as 100–120 metres (330–390 ft) below the surface. However, the location of the world’s deepest station is not as clear”, however one of the St. Petersburgs stations is the world’s deepest one.
What a cool machinery they use when make dig for new stations:
Jump From the House
When you have lotsa snow you can have some fun with it like… jumping from five-stored building into a pile of snow, fun isn’t it?
Guarding Odessa
When entering city of Odessa port one can be greeted by a giant metal robot staying there for years already.
Constructed mainly of auto parts, like hoods etc. - so looking at it we might guess where from the Transformers idea might has appeared.
Rabbit of No Luck
Anything’s planned? That is a usual Rabbit of no luck’s chat-up line. No, no, we aren’t going to speak about talking rabbits today. Actually, this weird rabbit knows just one phrase more; it is an answer “No way!” and if you run him across in the street it will be the first and the last answer you’re going to hear from him ever.
Brave Russian Bird
Looks like that Russian birds are so cool that they go friends with cats eating from the same plate (sometimes)..
Russian Eagle Pets
Lately numerous occasions of people with eagle pets have been reported from the centre of Moscow. Looks like this becomes trendy?
Felt Boots Factory
There is footwear in Russia that is quite popular in the country, and it’s called felt boots. But also, they have the other name, Russian one, which most of you probably know, here they are called Valenki. And recently they’ve started gaining popularity again because of their low price, warm and usability. But even here there are few people who know how and where they are made. Today we have a bit of insight to Kalyazinsk felt boots factory for you.
Winter Drifting
When it is February, freaking cold outdoors and you have absolutely nothing to do during your lunch break – why not to try a bit of drifting on your car? And that was exactly what one company of Russian friends did.
