    6. Fucking Americans! Because of them people suffer on whole planet.

      Americans produce only two things - pollution and garbage. Because of atmoshpere’s pollution climate is changing and global temperature is rising. The flood in Petersburg on the pictures - is the example of harmful american influence on the environment.

        fucking americans?
        whats the russian word for wormwood?
        umm….
        hmm..
        that’s right, Chernyobl!

        during the cold war and still to this day, both super powers(and all the new wanna be players on the stage) create huge ammounts of garbage and pollution
        (in fact, currently, China produces more pollution and garbage than america)
        It’s not just one country’s fault, it’s any country that has nuclear power, coal power, or any other power for that matter
        (save hydro electric, and occasional wind)
        I mean, I understand these days it’s cool to hate America,
        but every country seems to be pollution and garbage mate..

        its true , looks like pollution affected ur brain too. get out of ur chair u dam fat person and go see how many plants with huge chimneys are out there in russia or china. gosh i used to hate russians for being ignorant, but i see they’re dumb too

      foolish human! always building your cities on marshes! Venice, St. Petersburg, New Orleans, Washington DC, Boston. . . .

      almost as bad as building cities in the desert, and importing tons of water (Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles).

      don’t blame mother nature– that’s like jumping off a building and claiming “it’s not MY fault, GRAVITY broke my legs!”

      (to quote Eros from the movie “Plan 9 from Outer Space”)

      “You humans are STUPID! STUPID!”

    8. BigDog says:

      Washington DC was built on a swamp on purpose. The Founders wanted to discourage the growth of government and the hot, fetid, pestilant and unpleasant climate in Washington DC discouraged people, especially politicians, from living there permanently. Unfortunately, air conditioning was invented.

    9. Pol says:

      wow! I was there then, but I was in the house all day… didn’t see any flooding :-) Yup; could be global warming, da?

    10. Julien says:

      i have no idea how high water is since i would have to see the before and after pictures…hope to get them after the flood

    11. Viktor says:

      Its the Americans fault! haha.. ya right. or maybe its because of where city is built, no? But then again it could be those damn Chinese!

    12. cro says:

      Bullshit is a good tradition here. Second foto was shoot in Germany during Rhine flood in 2005.

      However other are genuine. That winter flood was very beatiful and harmless, I saw it by my own eyes.

    13. Dadushkaau says:

      second one is not St-Petersburg. it is Germany 2005 (or 2004)

    14. [...] The blog English Russia has posted some photographs of last weeks flooding in St. Petersburg. [...]

    15. mrcann says:

      everyone produces garbage, not only americans. its a trait of our human nature. but as recycling technologies improve, there is hope! :)

    16. björn says:

      mrcann, in china they open one coal-powerplant every WEEK. I love the optimism, but we are doomed. ;)

    17. Gizmo42 says:

      Try doing a little learning before blaming america for everything and showing you ignorance. Most of the air pollution in the world is produced by 3rd world countries and the biggest producer is China.

      Also the temperature of the earth has warmed and cooled many many times in its history, most without any help from us humans. The doom and gloomers like to point out how much the temps have gone up over the last 100 or 200 yrs. What they dont tell you is that most of that warming took place in the first half of that time. Before all the cars, fossil fuels, etc.

      Finally, I dont feel a bit sorry for those who build in flood planes or below water level. But the pics are cool.

    18. vg says:

      Yes, people, pollution, global warming… St Peterbsurg has been flooding for 300 years, as the man says.

      Hey earth, lets make a deal, ok? We’ll stop producing carbon dioxide (well ok, we’ll reduce it), and you reverse the natural climate cycle. Deal?

      It always surprises me how belligerent people can be, thinking that they can change climate cycles. It’s about time for the earth to heat up again. It probably doesn’t care much about the parasites clinging to it, or the vehicles that said parasites are driving.

      Second picture took in the Germany little years ago.

    21. I guess rusia is being punished for all the sins it has ever committed.
      Russia and russians have deserved such miserable life.
      FUCK russia an kremlin!!!!

    22. Misha says:

      Every human and every country will be punished for their sins, more sin more punishment, isnt that simple?
      Russia deserves more punismnet of course.
