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…
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:
Wooden Cops Sculptures: Real and Fairy
Such wooden sculptures of Russian traffic cops can be seen in a nice city Khabarovsk. Don’t you agree that it is an unusual idea to make such cute figures and, what is more, to mix the urban reality personages with fairy-tale ones in such a funny way? (more…)
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.
Big Molecular Toys
This team from Moscow, Russia is into making large scale molecular biology stuff as real world object toys, mainly made of plastic, but sometimes they are soft too.
It’s so geeky these days to go and buy yourself a 20 inch highly-detailed swine flu virus molecule or DNA helix made of plush for Valentine’s day or some other date like that instead the boring plush puppy and stuff.
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?
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.
