Cranberry
Have you been buying something with cranberry lately? Maybe cranberry jam or sauce? Or cranberry juice?
A lot of cranberry grows in Russia, in different regions of it. Russia exports cranberry to other countries where it is being processed in some deserts and so on.
Here are some photos of how the cranberry is being collected and turned into an extract in Russia, which is later being used in production of the above mentioned products.

So what is wrong with that? In winegrowing countries they do the exact same thing with grapes.
Does anybody know why does fresh cranberry in Russia tastes 100% better than cranberry sold in US?
Cranberries can trace their orgins back to the North-eastern corner of the United States of America.
America! The homeland of cranberries!
This is normal cranberry production.
These photos are boring, and your site sucks. There is nothing remotely interesting, funny or distinctively Russian in these photos.

This site is great, I enjoy it because in one way or another it portrays every day life. And if you are looking for something distictivly Russian, I think I have it for you:
In almost every picture on this site, there is at least one guy who is wearing work clothing and a camouflage jacket. It seems that Camo’ is popular amoung the Rooskies!
Not every single thread is supposed to be funny. I also enjoy pictures of every day life in Russia, the historical items etc. If you think this site sucks, why are you wasting your precious time here?
In Finland Vietnamese workers just gather it in the forest

This is in Belarus (Polesye). Another post that clearly shows admins attitude. Obviously, this blog was set up by clueless idiot like Rusofop, the girl, to throw all the crap she got to the public. once again, go back to school, get some Barbie dolls and stuff, try to catch up with childhood, seems like its missing…
Did you ever taste what passes for “juice” in Russia? It’s totally disgusting. The fruit content is virtuallly non-existent and compared to Western products it’s quite pathetic. Actual cranberry juice, like what you get from Ocean Spray with that pungent bite, is virtually non-existent, as is high-quality orange juice. Most of what’s on the shelves is bascially Kool-aid, because Russian personal incomes are so depressed ($300/month salaries) that they can’t afford anything else. And that’s to say nothing of the quality of the water used to reconstitute these “juices,” which is of shockingly low quality too (hence Russia’s short adult lifespan and declining population).
Well, most of the “juices” in Russia are made by Western companies (although sold under Russian names), which explains their shitty taste + we know now who to blame for Russia’s “short adult lifespan and declining population”. Thanks, LR!
LR please tell me when did you last tasted any russian juice and what was it’s name.
Actually there are some shitty juices in russia which are most cheap. As in any country. They cost about 50 - 70 cents for 1 liter. But The others (which cost from 1,5 -2,5 dollar for a liter, and which are made by russian companies) taste much better than i drank in europe and other parts of the world. Except fresh juice of course. People who live in russia will understand me. juice brands like “YA”, “RICH” and others are awesome. And believe me i’ve tasted many import juices.
An American critcizing Russian juices reminds me of Germans criticizing American beer. For whatever reason most Americans prefer watered down and bitter lagers like Budweiser or Miller. Why? I don’t know, “familiarity” I would assume– there is plenty of good American beer available, but the cheap beer sells more. Perhaps it’s the same in Russia?
And as for LR– she admits that Russians make little money, and so cannot afford to buy high quality juice, and yet in another post criticizes Russians for buying cheaper bootlegs of western dvds!
At least she must be pleased about Russia’s “short adult lifespan and declining population”. (Don’t hold your breath waiting for Russia to disappear anytime soon, LR).
4EMIST: Oh I’m sure that in expensive shops in Moscow if you really look hard you can find something that isn’t totally disgusting. But I’m talking about what ordinary people with average $300 per month income can buy. I guess you could care less about them. I’ve had juice in E-burg, Kazan, Volgograd, Adler, Novgorod . . . how about you? Moscow only?
La Russophobe likes drinking cooked from shit cola and burgers. She thinks it’s tastier
TO LR
if you think that people can’t buy juice for 1,5 dollar in russia - that’s your opinion. You can find Those juices that i named in every little shop in moscow other towns. And may i ask you what was the date you visited those towns?
Hi! everybody!

Excellent article, I enjoy every article I read here. Thanks,

Interesting, before I immigrated to America I’ve seen the same kind of cranberry photoshoot in a magazine.. and I thought it was something specific to America. I guess it’s the same thing back in Russia and in the US.
