No Smoking Please [updated]
Well, probably one of the most creative ways to break persons will for smoking is being implemented in Russia. Sometimes when one’s buying his next pack of Winston he is under the risk of not being satisfied. At least in some Russian cities such cigarettes that are not suitable for smoking are on sale and any smoker can fail now.
Russian Special Construction Hardware
Some companies in Russia earn their living by buying cheap old Russian army vehicles and converting them to civil engineering and construction hardware that then is being used at the various construction sites in Russia.
With those it comes like, passing across a place where the new residential complex is being built a big military camouflaged tank can appear from across a corner equipped with a hoe instead of the gun.
Also, it might be handy in exporting to third world countries where the construction areas are sometimes being combined with a battle front. Such construction machinery won’t be an easy target and would be able to continue digging under the light to moderate range fire.
Toys, 24×7
In this small Russian town some people earn their leaving by selling the soft toys day and night to the passengers of passing though trains.
The Mobile Computer
When the recession reaches it’s most coarse drastic form and the consumption would aim for zero point values, then all the Asian production would stop causing so much chaos there. That means for us that no cheap consumer electronics would be made.
Still some middle-class proffesionals would need a mobile computer to be carried with them on their job tasks, so anyone would be able to make a mobile computer like this.
It’s durable, lasting doesn’t attract much attention and still it’s a mobile computer!
Some people in Russia has already started making some.
Sausage Marketing

They asked the publisher of this merchandise lookbook to not a change a thing in it. Maybe it was their intuitive knowlege from deep inside knowing that this would end up on Internet soon.

Some Boat
Demand for the luxury in growing. One of the expanding industry is luxury boats production. New companies constantly appear offering their services in luxury boat building. Nobody had any experience first, there were no luxury boats in Soviet Russia for 70 years in a row. So some manufacturers copy their works from the Western industry, but some go their unique, Russian way, creating something looking not alike to any other, like this one made for one of the Siberian governors.
Future Ads
One Russian online company has started its ad campaign by putting those paper ads on the telegraph poles and bus stops in major Russian cities. The ads contained the offer for some not very common goods, like “Large Hadron Collider for sale, cheap, customer pick up from 30 feet underground in Europe” or other stuff like that. They put futuristic looking flying cars, moon luxury properties etc on those ads and intrigued people. I don’t know if they succeeded in gaining enough attention for their services in such a manner, but those are pieces of their ads.
The Old Organizer
I didn’t know that the organizers have such a long history. This one is the last example of pre-communist Russia organizers. Made in leather covers containing the full map of Russia and all other things that organizers have now, but it was 90 years ago.
