Can you guess what those people are doing and why they decided to submerge themselves in freezing cold weather into the storm on the Baltic coast? No they are not fishing, no, they are not surfers, and now they don't

pick up any sea food. The thing they hunt for is much more valuable, expensive and nicer looking. What's this and why they flock to the coast of Kaliningrad first days of the New Year? Let's see inside:

Here's a short video of Russian police officers in Dagestan, Russia celebrating the New Year by... shooting in the stars. They say its a pretty normal thing to express your feeling of excess happiness in some Southern Russia

parts by shooting in the air, but it's first time I see the police doing it too. Besides shooting they are also doing donuts on the Police car with full siren on. Pretty dope! Also there is one more video inside:

Even though Ukraine has sea ports, it had only two submarines in its Navy, and both are in a condition that's not really nice. For example, this is the Ukrainian submarine "SS-330" which was built in

1970. In Soviet times, it served in the Pacific, but later it was transferred to Ukraine. Want to see its horrible state in detail? Then come inside, there are photos and also a video:

You might never think that things like this exist, but there is a whole Russian video made like Pulp Fiction parody, but instead America of 1990s it takes place in Nazi Germany with cult Russian spy "Shtirlitz" as a main hero. Here are two scenes

from this video - the beginning of Pulp Fiction movie, now with a Russian spy proclaiming "It's a special operation!" instead of "It's a robbery!", and the scene where they come to the hotel room. Pretty strange thing to watch!

Ok, first the facts: Lake Baikal is the deepest fresh water lake in the world (1,632m at deepest point), also the largest volume of fresh water is located in this water - like it totals at 20% of each Earth surface fresh water resources! This lake is long - it stretches for 640 km from one side to another, so it might be even called "a sea" rather than a lake. There

are even seals in it, yes the unique fresh water seals! They also say it's the world most ancient fresh water lake with more than half of the animals and plants around it unique only to this region. And now the photos, one of my favorite bloggers, Slava, has visited this place and photographed it in his own style - from the helicopter!
