The Hostages
A group of journalists were kept as hostages by a bunch of Southern looking guys dressed in military uniform. Well, almost. It is a new experience one can get in Chelyabinsk city, Russia in the recently opened special courses of “How to behave during if you was taken as a hostage”.

You see there Osama’s grandpa probably?
