About Windows, Not “Windows”
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “windows”? Of course, you recollect Bill Gates, his Microsoft guys and their perpetration. Only after that you might remember some wood-and-glass, PVC or fiberglass hole in the wall behind your back. Or might not. Anyway, today I want to mull over these, traditional windows, or as they are called sometimes, “the eyes of the house”.
The Story of the One House
This letter was sent by the dwellers of this house to the local newspaper of some Russian town.
“Dear Sirs,
We are writing to your newspaper to inform about the situation taking place with the building in which we live. Since 2007 we pay higher fees for the communal services, but instead of getting better service and/or getting our problems fixed we are getting it even worse now.
”
…then there comes a big list of the problems they are having, but it’s better to see that on the photos together with some more excerpts from the letter.
The Building Shower
Sometimes the buildings need showers too.
In this case the underground high pressure water pipes come in very handy. When they become too worn out they demand some attention and complain about this to houses in a furious fountain way.
There is a video inside too.
Shed House
One might think this houses in Smolensk city, Russia are preparing for their summer skin shedding, and become more brown.
In reality that’s how the local house maintainers are making houses coldproof. They just put raw PU foam on the walls, around the flats and with some time the fawn-coloured foam starts looking like this brownish substance.
Wooden Windows
Photos of the old Siberian houses and especially the wood carved windows.
Old Russian Luxury Houses
If nowadays rich Russians prefer red-brick houses of strange design, many years ago some other fashion was ruling the minds of Russian high society. It was a unique to Russia style of building large wooden houses of genuine Russian design. They had an ability to build houses from stone, like in Europe, but preferred wood on purpose, they liked wood, the feeling of the wooden house.
Russian Pyramids
We have received a few reports lately about Russian people from different parts of Russia building many feet tall pyramid like structures. We don’t know exact reasons for the to do this, but some of them say they believe in unknown powers that can be drawn down to the Earth with the help of pyramids, giving supernatural powers to the owners of the pyramids like the ideal health or even immortality, at least this is what they say themselves. Here we have photos and videos from the three of different pyramid sights in modern Russia. All the structures are around hundred feet tall!
Heavy Fire in Vladivostok
This incident took place in Vladivostok at 21st of July. The most interesting in this story is that the covering of this building, called Atlantis, was made from the usual foam plastic. Fortunately, the building has not been inhabited yet so there are no victims.

Simple Russian Things: Mailboxes
Many Russians complain on the state of their lobbies in multi-apartment houses. For example this how do often look like the mailboxes in the lobby of a regular house like above in the picture. It’s not abandoned, it’s not populated with low level alcohol abusing people, just a regular lobby, and many Russian people would agree that this can be met way to often across all the Russia.
