Russian Bus Drivers
We have mentioned that Russian small bus drivers are usually from the Southern ex-USSR countries like Tajikistan or Azerbadjan and they are often homeless, so sometimes you can see such a scene in Russian cities - a small bus that carries passengers in the daytime stays somewhere in silent place and inside there is a man, simply living - sleeping or eating etc.

This is in Ukraine. Last time I checked, Ukraine was not a place where you can find Russian cities.
That`s the reality of Russian/Ukrainian life. Poor and proud, trying to say they are the smartest people in the world. First in space and bla bla bla
And the reality of American life is fat and lazy, trying to say they are the smartest people in the world. First on the moon and bla bla bla.
First to fake a landing on the Moon.
There, fixed it for ya.
Sorry to dead your conspiracy theory, but they actually did land on the moon. Russia watched (from their own spacecraft orbiting the moon) as it happened and would have been the first to call them out if they were faking it.
Show us those Russian pictures of the landing! You can’t.
Russians were too ashamed to admit they forgot to remove a protective plastic cap off their camera. They saw nothing.
Ignorance Is Strength.
Reality of American life:

Yes, it happens to the best of us.
That picture is out of context, people that use it to show GWB is an idiot, are in fact the idiots. so “Americans are dumb” is an idiot. Those are not binoculars, but laser range-finders. The covered sections are not used for viewing, but transmitting and receiving lasers to precisely measure the distance between the user and the targeted object…. GB is in fact using the monocular viewing apparatus that is in the middle.. trying to explain this to an idiot is tiring…. not that I am defending Bush, but please have respect for quality military equipment.

Why does it look like that the “lens covers” are in a different angle?
He still didn’t see anything.
It can be proven in many other ways without pictures. Russians watched from many instruments on earth and in space. I cant believe how many poeple believe the moon landing was fake. Get a fucking clue.
Why do you hate Freedom? Show us those Russian pictures of the landing you promised us! Where do you hide those Weapons of Mass Information? Ah? In Iran? I thought so.
You know what I think you’re a terrist. Yeah, you are a terrist, you hate Freedom, you hide WMI in Iran, you won’t show us the pictures. You hate AmeriKKKa!
Be prepared for a visit from a US Government Torture.
D - Russia did NOT watch from ‘their own spacecraft orbiting the moon’!, and i believe they actually did claim the moon landing was faked at the time. As to whether it was faked or not, there is a large volume of evidence saying they did go. However, there are some very good points made by the conspiracy theorists that have never been answered. It seems pretty undeniable if you look at all the evidence both ways that some of the footage of some of the later missions was faked. The most damning is probably the duplicated foreground s with hundreds of identical rocks but different backdrops in the mission 16 footage. It supposedly shows two different sites but if you overlay them they clearly show the same foreground scene or set, with different props (lander etc) and a different stage backdrop. Finding footage of that on any conspiracy site should be easy.
Whether that means that they NEVER went, or just that some footage has been padded or touched up for some reason, is another question.
D, you are fooled by mass media, americans work harder than russian 10 times, remember lazy can not be reach, but for some reason americans are. Isnt that strange???
rich, sorry
I am not fooled by any media. I live in america and work with americans. And they do not work harder, and they are also not rich. Maybe up to and the generation right after WWII, but not anymore. You are not poor becuase of the mass immigration that happened in the late 1800 to early 1900 that built this country. You stand on their shoulders, and now this generation is spoiled. America is losing its lead in almost every area and jobs are being taken by harder working immigrants and overseas. American schools are failing againts others worldwide…most of the population knows nothing in world outside of their immediate life. More people know who paris hilton is than putin. You think you are soooo great because you were born into a system that you dont deserve to be a part of. You’re ignorant and egotistic, not to mention clueless.
Ну и придурок же ты.
Is that all you can say? You are the obvious fool.
Point taken. Cuz I like that point.:)
What you see on the picture is a typical slav. The only reason why great russia is still afloat, is because of ethnic minorities such as Gerorgians, Chechens, Jews and Asians.
If it wasn’t for them, russia would drown in vodka an its own shit!
If i weren’t for russians (slavs) the whole world would be speaking german, the “typical” slavic people of USSR destroyed 80 % of german forces in WW2 by the time the americans came to chill in Europe. And yes lev, you’re right Russia is still afloat because the Jewn and Asians invaded Iraq that made the oil price go up, and the half Georgian half Chechen man called Putin took advantage of the oil prices. So I thank you chechens (that wanted to declare their independency from Russia that started the war in the most difficult times in history for Russia) Georgians Jews, and Asians. (no disrespect to this people, i just want to make a point to lev the dumbass)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians (the fact about the 80% dead germans shit, sroll down to contribution to humanity)
Exactly, why do you jews hate slavs so much? If it wasnt for us, you wouldnt exist here today to talk shit on us.
You’re welcome.
What makes you think Jews hate slavs?
Not to diminish the Russian contribution to solving WWII, but an often overlooked fact is that Russians forces could advance so fast because of American aid.
The United States provided the Soviet Union with approximately USD 11 billion in aid. Great Britain and Canada provided the Soviet Union with an additional USD 6 billion in aid. Both figures are for USD values in 1945. Since 1945, Soviet historians have tended to downplay the significance of Allied lend-lease efforts. During the course of the Second World War, the Western Allies sent 811 ships to Soviet ports filled with lend-lease aid.
Check this book: http://www.amazon.ca/Feeding-Bear-American-Soviet-1941-1945/dp/0313266883
yeah of course USSR got aid from USA, but in my opinion one live is worth more than 10000000 billion or what ever. Besides that, the main reason why USSR could fight the war so effictivly is because Stalin wanted to attack Europe as well, but hitler was first. So USSR had to make the army that was preparing for an attack, immediately let prepare for an defense.
The Russian army was not at all prepared for war as you would know if you read your history books. Why do you think Hitler’s attack at the USSR was so successful at first ? He was dealing with an unprepared and poorly equipped opponent.
The overseas aid was given in the form of hardware, not money, like trucks i.e. You could see Dodges and Studebakers all of a sudden on the USSR side.
please….maxd what i’m talking about are facts that were given free by the FSB not so long ago, Stalin had a whole army hidden to attack Europe himself.
Where was this army hidden? In his desk ? No such thing has ever been mentioned by anybody who was living during that era. What are those FSB sources ?
An army cannot exist unnoticed. There are people involved.
Stalin had his own nasty plans, no doubt, but Hitler was acting ahead of schedule.
Russians would do well to remember some things about beating the Germans in the Second World War: if it hadn’t been for Britain fighting Nazi Germany alone until 1941, and US aid to the USSR and lease-lend to the UK (which the UK paid for - the final repayment was a couple of years back), the USSR could not have fought off the German invasion.
btw, Germany would have had to invade the UK before it got much of the rest of the world. It never seemed to be in a position to do that. And for that, we can thank the RAF in large measure - the RAF which contained lots of superb pilots from many occupied nations, notably Poland.
And on top of that, the success of the Manhattan project meant that no matter what, Germany would have lost - thanks to US industrial power and a huge amount of work by a large number of very clever scientists from all over the world.
You are fucked up lier go kill yourself
stfu faggot
gross!
I want refund NOW!
why so many pictures? let the poor guy sleep.
I agree. It looks as though the person wielding the camera has way too much time on his/her hands.
For such “glass-through” shots one should always use polarizing lens filters
Filters??? Ha Ha Ha. They dont have money for food and you say filters, really funny
If they have money for a camera, then they obviosly have money for a filter. And if they are taking pictures and breathing then they obviously have money for food. And since you say these kinds of things, you must have serious self esteem problems because you try to make yourself seem superior to Russians by spitting unfounded claims.
How can you be so stupid? “If they have camera, they can have filters” you should say: If they have camera, they can have spaceship, if they can have spaceship, they can go to the moon, how stupid!!!
They STOLE the camera!!! They dont have money to buy it!!!
Did they also STEAL all the land, oil, and military equiptment that america is so scared shitless of?
“scared shitless”? You should not let the weight of the chip on your shoulder cause you so much pain that it clouds your mind. The average American couldn’t care less about Russia, much less be “scared” of it. Why? Because most of us are too busy making the best of life.
Stop talking like a drunken bar brawler who can’t even stand on his own feet, but gets angry when people ignore his slurred threats.
Sober up, get a job, open a savings account, save for retirement, read some good books (not authorized by the Kremlin), and enjoy life.
in a previous post you can see how the poor russians drive in the most expensive cars in Moscow. Russian population below poverty line is 17% declining, while in the US its 12 % and rising. And the country where you;re from (i geuss south ex USSR republic) is even poorer, so give the computer you’re using right now back to the only shop in town, the man is trying to make a living for gods sake.
ow yeah for the facts check http://www.cia.gov then click on factbook its on the right, you can get much info from that site.
fromukrainewithlove, sometimes I think you are the only rational one on this site.
This figure about 17% of Russians are below poverty threshold is bullshit. You have a very free way of interpreting figures.
In a country where 1000 $ p/month is a way above average income and prices are on par with European averages, everybody can do the math. Here are the World Bank’s figures.
12.1 % of russians have to live of less that 2 $ a day. 2% less than 1 $ p/day.
30.9% is living below the nations own definition of the poverty line. In the US this is 12.6 %
source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_percentage_of_population_living_in_poverty
Go on your own fucking site and check it one more time, in 2004 the population below poverty line was 30,9 thats’s right but this is 2007. So look at the number next to 30,9 can you see the number 17,8??? wel clik on the little three that is next to 2004, you can see that the informations was updated in january 2007 from http://www.cia.gov you stupid moron. That is how americans make the world believe shit, there making lies that an dumb person would believe.
as for the months salarys, could you image that someone in Uganda got 1000 dollar a month??? he could buy a whole village with that money. I’m trying to say that in every country as well as the salarys and the consumer prices are different. In Ukraine the average pay a month is about 400 dollars/ a month, i geuss in Russia its about 500 dollars am month maybe little more. But the point is that these people don’t need 1000 dollars a month because the prices aren’t that high.
My grandmother in Ukraine (that’s a bit poorer than Russia) gets 35 euro’s a month for her retirement. And she can live with it, she’s not rich or poor she’s just making a living. My other grandmother and granfather together get 90 euro’s a month, and my father helps the whole family if they need help, because he makes 1100 dollar a month and he easily miss a little bit of money.
I guess you never shopped in a major city in Russia.
Why are you trying to insult me ?
The figures on the site all refer to 2004, the discrepancy between the World Bank figures [30.9] and the CIA figures [17.8] is unclear. But every Russian who is honest will have to admit that the first figure is closer to the truth when he looks around him and he is not standing in the Golden Ring [moscow]
Americans vs russians, you started that comparison, not I. And because it fits your opinion, you all of a sudden believe CIA figures over [independant] World Bank figures.
If you wan’t to buy fancy clothes and fancy jewelery of course its little, but i’m talking about food and rents pay.
Well if you can find other sites (FSB or something) with info, i’ll be gladly to hear about it. Anb because it fgits you opinion your not believing that site, and living in 2004???? what’s so unclear about it???? one figure is from 2004 the other is from january 2007.
if it were an other site, like FSB.ru or something you would say the Russians are faking those figures.
…and u don’t have brains. poor muthafoka…
LIES BULLSHIT
Moderator who run this site is Canadian or American Ukranian HOHOL! Russia loomed large in his early life.
As someone who is American and also worked in Russia, while Russia is an interesting place, most Russian’s couldn’t wipe their ass without first checking with their supervisor. We’re not perfect here int he US, take Detroit…please, but overall hundreds of millions of people, and lots of Russians would be here in 2 seconds if given the opportunity. The EU is hot right now, fine, go live there, if you go there as an immigrant, you’ll most likely die as one. In the US, you can come here with nothing in your pocket and die with billions. I’ll take our system over any in the world. Those anti-US folks, go sip your vodka and suck on sour grapes.
As someone who is Russian and lives in america, I can tell you that the russians that come here run circles around ordinary americans in everything they do. Dont degrade the skills and determination of the working russian class becuase their system is not as good as america’s. And dont take credit for a system that you didnt have a part in creating. You act like it’s a great achievment to be born into an established society like the U.S. Russians have done alot with the little they have and have worked hard to build their own country, unlike america, which was built by immigrants from other countries. Russia may not be america, but its better than just about any other place in the world and its getting better, america is getting worse. So you anti-russian folks can go chew your big macs and suck my russian dick.
You Fool. HA HA HA HA HA
You are the fool.
Hey D what’s happening? With all this racket I couldn’t sleep.
mmm, like many other countries, russia is running on outdated systems. It’s only emerged into the westernized ways not long ago so it might take a while for it to catch up. It is the fault of society, not the people individually. eventually they will upgrade and since they have many mineral resources will once again become major world power. (well, technically theyre almost there already)
If you hate america and americans so much, then you should leave.
I don’t hate america or americans. All my friends are americans. What I hate is people who think they are “THE SHIT” because they were born in america. Do you think you are any better than a russian?
D, I don’t feel I’m better than Russians. I’m not saying that at all. The tone you used in your posting made it appear that you really dislike Americans. There are many people in the U.S. that hate it here and I always wonder why they don’t just leave. (shrug) Peace.
P.S. How long have you been in the states and what brought you here?
Russians [and E-Europeans in general] work a lot harder and show more motivation and ambition than the average european/american. The latter are numbed by their prosperity and became slow and lazy, the others have the best motivation there is: to escape poverty !
Russians in general are suprised by the poor attitude they meet abroad.
So are you anywhere close to making your first billion, yet? Lol
I did already!
Oh yeah, what number are you on the forbes list?
You fool, what are you doing in US??? Go to Russia or ukraine!
D had you with that one.
Ayatrollah great comment! 100% agree.
I hope to see Putin and Ahmadinejad living like that one day. Together, preferrably.
This can NEVER happen, because Pooty and I have the big secret accounts in the Swiss bank, in Switzerland.
THIS IS UKRAINE YOU PIECE OF HORSESHIT
I have seen people in the USA who secretly live in their office because rent is too expensive and they can’t afford it. Looks like he is just taking a long break. This would not be uncommon as I am sure he works long hours and a good rest can do the mind and body wonders.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians for the facts about 80% killed germans and shit….scroll down to contribution to humanity
Lev Aranovich is a baldy fag with small dick
this is all pointless bickering. Both countries have their good sides, but if you’re Russian you love Russia more and if you’re an American you think US is better, that’s life.
all these people who try to say here that Russia is shit, well whatever, go complain to someone else. don’t like it - then don’t talk about it.
and Russians who argue back with the the pro-americans - it’s pointless, bcz most people who feel bitter about Russia are not the real americans but ex-russians who’ve moved to america, and now they are slugging off Russia, because of their complexes or whatever, bcz they’ve got beaten up there a lot etc, etc,. so whatever. they just look at the bad sides of russia and remember nor russian history, nor the art that we’ve produced, and they don’t even try to understand what a true Russian is, bcz it complex. they give up and give in to western lifestyle, because it’s much easier than thinking about your won identity.
You’re too simple.
It’s better to look ahead and try building a good environment for all instead of looking back and raving about how great this or that was. It’s no longer relevant. Learn from past mistakes, that would be good.
Russia has all the resources a country will ever need to be a world power. It’s still doing poorly in general and only catching up in a few sectors sofar.
Short term vision and a deeply rooted minority complex resulting in ‘prestigious’ projects and showing off are IMO a core flaw.
The lack of introspection/self criticism which is deeply rooted in Russians in general or so it seems is also not helping. On this forum we see a lot of proof for this statement, btw..
Makes me sad to see people need to live like this. Am I a f*ckin’ lucky s*n of a b*tch that I was born in Western Europe…
you sound english to me, so i guess, you are as much a cunt as the ruskie/yanks in this thread…
Fuck you all! life began in ireland!
I’m leaving on the Old Continent, not some island full of inbreeds!! Do what you do best and go take some sheep anally…
i geuss some one called Niels have to be from Holland, am I right???
Could be, but it isn’t… It’s a Scandinavian name, but that doesn’t mean that I live in Scandinavia…
We have the best beer of the world, that should say enough =)
belgium
….i geuss Germany or Denmark …..Tuborgh is fine;)
Fuck USA FUCK BRITAIN FUCK FRANCE ! ICELAND BEST COUNTRY
It’s so easy for everyone around the world to blame the US for all their problems and all problems around the world. Instead of just jumping on the band wagon try to get some information and then come back with a well thought out rebuttal or ’stab’ at the US people. First off, most Americans are very hard working, it’s only the small group that chooses to do nothing and drive around in cars that cost more than their house and get money from the government. Also, more worldwide aid comes from the US than any other country in the world. Instead of fighting each other we should be joining and making the world a better place. All the borders should be open and everyone should be free to move about the world without hinderance. The problem is that most of the leaders around the world (yes, including BUSH) have their own agenda and dont care if it’s in the best interests of the global population. There are a bunch of old dudes in expensive suits who get smacked around by their wives every night running the global governments and it’s about time for a change. So before you blame an entire population for the problems around the world, or group them all together as ALL being lazy or useless, stop and think. Acthung BABY!
The US is one of the worst countries were it comes to charity. Check http://www.poverty.com/internationalaid.html for some figures. Small countries like Holland, Luxembourg or Denmark are donating more than the US, who is not even on the list officially.
Yes, we should contribute our fair share.
You blind loser, open your eyes and read again, show me in what place Russia is? Crazy Russians so proud of yourselves that can see they live in shit.
Russia is not mentioned - only 22 countries. I don’t think Russia has any intention to donate to charity, as many of it’s own citizens need that money just as much…
The human looks like typical slavonic Russian. Why does the narrator thinks he go from central asia?
As for the actual subject - yes, let the man take a nap. Why spy on him ? I don’t see anything odd about this guy.
I would like to wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all our american friends.
As a sign of good will between the people of Canada and the USA, I would like you all to see this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLXRVvA6T9k&feature=related
Oh, say! can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of blah blah blah, blah blah blah….
This site is antirussian propaganda. They just show only worst things of russia and dont show good things.You can find poor people in any country even in Luxembourg or Ireland.And yes russians are smartest people in the world.
Smartest people in the world on evil, stay in your shit
Russian Fake, I’ve got a piece of advice for you, do me and everyone a favor, go shoot yourself.
Fucking and stupid americans…
“something cool happens daily on 1/6 of the Earth surface”
What cool is in life of poor and homeless bus driver?
He does not differ from millions other poor people in Russia. God damned RICH and PROUD Moscow doesn’t care of them, doesn’t see problems of these people.
Yep, verry funny. Specially in winter, when petroleum is freezing.
Was he drinking motor oil?
Ontopic, what was the brand/model of that minibus again?
An by the way, why do all the signs look so formal, as if they where designed by some kind of metropolitan transit authority or something, which confusses me, cause you said in some other post that those minibuses where run by illegal operators in moscow, meaning not by some kind of TA, so i the question is… is this formal or informal bus ran by who and where???
And if it’s formal, shouldnt it be in some kind of parking lot during the nite??
accroding to my Russian Globe - Ukraine is place in Russia.
some of you are so full of hate and hostility… so sad. I sincerely hope that some day you’ll come to your senses and stop being so arrogant and conceited (both of you russian and american folks)
The Ukrainian Cyrillic alphabets are a little different
from the Russian ones.
There are Ukrainian Cyrillic alphabets on the bus.
So I don’t think this is a Russian bus driver.
It’s not Russia, it’s the Ukraine, so my hide disrespect for the author of these photos who does not know geography.
Second, if these migrant workers have no place to live in, so let them go away to their mountainous and desert auls. Good riddance!
I’m Russian myself, so don’t bother trying to insult me. The CIA figure is also 2004, and only an estimate.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2046.html
I’m only pointing out that you are contradicting yourself. Why not be more constructive ? Pointing out that something is wrong, acknowledging it, is a first step in dealing with a problem. Vote for a government that deals with the common people and their problems instead of political games, prestige and other abstract nationalist bullshit.
Insulting and shouting are the only resources left to people who have no facts and the verbal talents to present them.
Most Russians are poor, a few are filthy rich. We call these few ‘oligarchs’. Russia has been defined by many as a cross between a police state and an oligarchy. I think they are right. Prices for the most basic food and utilities have increased tremendously this year, and are even higher in some instances than in W-Europe.
Ok, if you live in a small village in the middle of nowhere you can grow your own vegetables + raise a pig or so, but outside the countryside it’s a different story.
yeah excuse me for mistaking about that cia figure, but like you said the world bank figure shows the nations own poverty line. I’m only trying to show that former USSR is crawling back on its feet, and will be as it always has been a powerful nation. The 90’s were the most difficult times in history, and then people all of suddes have the balls to talk shit about former USSR it just pisses me off. Yes I’m nationalist I’m proud of my country and my peole, but I’m a realist as well. And if you’re Russian you should be proud too. We’re the only nation in the world that follows its own path, the rest follows the path of USA.
I’m russian and no-one tells me what to do. I decide for myself whether or not I am proud of my country.
I’m not. It is so corrupted and sick to a cartoon-like level.
It is worse than the US has ever been in terms of money-is-GOD.
I’m still proud of the people who live there, I respect them, the backbone of this country, who kept it up and alive during hard times.
The same people who now have to beg in subway stations and are being overlooked. Also the people in the countryside, rural Russia - it is like they do not exist, are just a statistic.
In some regions in Siberia voting has already begun. An old woman was being interviewed by a TV channel. She said she was hoping for better transportation routes and a mobile telephone network. I don’t think it’s going to happen in the coming generations.

believe me in a country that is isolated from the rest of the world, and only one man controls it all you can hide what ever you want unnoticed. Espacially in that time without the spying planes and shit.
LOL Are you a Slav?
