Kosh-Agach. The Driest Russian Town
The town Kosh-Agach, situated in Altai republic, was founded by Russian merchants in the far 1820 for trading with the Asian countries. It was the last Russian trade putlet on the path to Mongolia and China, and in the 1880s it even became the Part of China for some time. Now it is the biggest settlement of Altai and the driest inhabited place in Russian Federation. Also it is one of a few places in Russia where people breed camels.
Buy the way, most of the population of the town are Kazakhs, so it’s not a secret that Russia is a multicultural state.
On some pictures you can see the rain - very rare phenomenon for this place.
A Story of One Fire
This is a story of one fire which happened in a town near Moscow. There are a lot of such wooden houses all over Russia. These houses are for a few families and you may say only poor people live there but it’s a big fraction of Russian families still live in such wooden old houses, without a hot water and gas supply.
And also if somebody is getting on fire then all the house is risking to be burned to ashes. Also according to the comments you would be able to see how fast are Russian firemen.
On the picture above you can see the start of the fire. None seem to care - none sees the fire so probably nothing special is going on, maybe some cooking.
