The White Citizens

Most of the Russian friends would start convincing you not to believe in rumours about bears wandering around the streets and playing balalaykas after one or two beers or vodka shots. Don’t believe them! We have a proof that the bears actually do wander around and even visit construction sites.
And yes, those are white polar bears which even adds to this.
Live Maggots, Spectacular UFO and more

Today’s edition of short stories being popular in Russia lately. Some of them too small for a separate post but fits well in one big.
The first photo here is about some grand-dad and a bear, though some say he is gipsie, not Russian, anyway let’s go inside to see what’s more.
Kamchatka

Kamchatka, a good place in Russia to visit. It is famous for its volcanoes, the valleys of hot springs, wild bears that don’t afraid men, very snow but not cold winters and low population rate, and yes it’s next to Atlantic.
Bear Growers

This guys do a good thing. They grow bears, treat them as pets (who didn’t dream about having a bear as a pet, at least in Russia?), and then release them to the wild nature. They treat them in such a way that small bears learn to get the food by themselves and don’t trust other humans so that not to get in trouble in their future wild life.

Kamchatka Bears

Some people say bears wander around the Russian cities begging for food, especially during winter. Of course that’s not true, bears don’t walk in the cities, but in some Russian areas one can wander around and don’t touch people.
