Russian Wood Carving
In Russia wood carving was popular in older times, these are some examples of the modern wood carving by Cronid Gogolev.
The Korean Boeing
Korean Boeing was shot down in Karelia, Russia in 1978, with a lot of civil passengers on-board. The pilots of the plane had mysteriously altered the route so that came deep inside Russian territory. Two and a half hours they were escorted by Russian jet fighters not responding to any radio contact or visual contact attempts. At last the Soviet military commanders ordered to shoot the plane down with as much accuracy as they could do. The jet plane of Russian army hit the Boeing with a missile cutting off the piece of its wing, so the Korean plane had to land after this. Two passengers were killed others got wounds as a result of an extremely fast landing to the frozen Russian lake in Karelia, Russia near Kem’ town. The first Russian military police group arrived in two hours to the landing site. They tell that when they entered the plane the strong smell of “blood, alcohol and human fecal masses” hit into their noses. Afterwards the passengers spent three days in the Kem’ town, Karelia, Russia and were send to Helsinki, Finland on the plane on the fourth day. The crew was taken to Moscow and was questioned there, but later they returned to Korea. The plane itself was disassembled to smallest parts and sent to Russian airplane producing factories and research centers, meanwhile the soldiers guarding the site had the first chance in their life to taste Coca-Cola or canned beer and even to read some Playboy. It was something they never met before in the country beneath the iron curtain.

Sometimes They Fall Down
In some Russian smaller cities there is a problem of old trees that sometimes fall down on cars or people just because they are old already, the inner part is soft and any of them can fall down any time. There is a solution to cut them down but it would turn the cities into a scary landscape without greens - there is no enough ready plants to replace the cut ones.
So from time to time in the news it can be heard that here or there tree falls on a car or a human, without wind or other external forces causing it to fall. Like on this pics for example in Petrozavodsk, Russia.

Mushrooms
I already mentioned that in Autumn there is plenty of psychedelic mushrooms grow all across North-West part of Russia.
If somebody cared on industrial volumes of producing psychoactive drug from raw organic Psylocybe mushrooms he could get huge amounts of it really cheap. Vast Russian lands are being covered in Autumn with this little thingies, scattered all over the fields, forests and roadsides.
Old people don’t really care on them, but some younger ones know how to get their free LSD like drug right from under their feet. So it’s no surprise that in the early fall Russian internet is being populated with posters like this: (more…)
