Russian Mobile Banya, Village Style
In Russian village they are having fun sometimes in some exotic way. The traditional washing places called “banya” were a must near every villager’s house. But still there are some that don’t have a banya and now the local entrepreneur Sergei has invented a mobile banya, village style. He got an old “Belarus” tractor and equipped it with a real life wooden hot steam banya house. Now such steamy delight is available by call delivered directly to your backyard or you can even to travel across the village while bathing and then can jump out to the virgin snow of the village outskirts.
Abandoned Swine City
With all that hype of swine flu going around these days there are big chances that sooner or later more pig farms would look like this abandoned Swine City Grande from USSR where they had thousands of thousands of piglets belonging to the glorious state and then all was left unused.
The hysteria itself hasn’t reached its peak as it was with mad cow disease one when they burned down millions of cow bodies etc, but if they start doing such things someday they would get more such landscapes for sure.
Russian Grain Harvesters
After this post about grain harvesting in Russia, many people supposed that it was some kind of “ideal” farm that differs greatly from other Russian agricultural companies because the images showed foreign harvesters, trucks and other machinery.
So to clear things up, here are some pictures of Russian produced grain harvesters. The “DON-1500″, has been in production since 1986 and is still sold in Russia. These particular ones are still being used.
These machines, bought new, run about $120,000.

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.
