Before After When one has an old W124 Mercedes he can just live with this or he can't. If he can't he can build his very own new model of the car to shock the neighbors and friends, like

David Szalay’s book The Innocent is published next month by Jonathan Cape. Here’s his list of the Top 10 KBG operatives, as posted over on The Times’ Comment Central blog… Vyacheslav Konstantinovich von Plehve Vyacheslav Konstantinovich was head of the Okhrana, the Tsars'

state security outfit, from 1881 to 1904. Solzhenitsyn ironically mocks his soft-heartedness, his squeamishness about 'perlustration' (the ungentlemanly practice of opening other people's mail) and the pitifully small number of people he sent to Siberia.

The second deepest ever hole drilled, The Kola Superdeep Borehole, can be found in Russia on the Kola Peninsula. The USSR was proud of it as much as it was of its space stations and underwater vehicles. Each of its 12 262 meters (40,230

ft or over 7.6 miles) below the earth's surface. was a real revelation for scientists, and a number of anomalies and strange things that used to happen during the construction work are still food for sensations.

In Russia Harry Potter is popular too, in fact it was way too popular so some book publishing companies came up with their Harry Potter clones, trying to make it sound close to original even in naming the characters, so the most two popular ones were (and still are) the Porry Gatter with its first book "Porry Gatter and the Stoned Philosopher" - you can see it's cover above, and the girlish series "Tanya Grotter" - like if Harry Potter was a

girl (on the photo below). Each series got a few sequels and got appreciated greatly by the readers. Then in order not to miss the buzz the Russian computer game producers came up with video games devoted to the stoned professor and Tanya Grotter, the first one was called "Tany Grotter and the Disappearing Floor" - for sure that disappearing floor was an evil trick of the Stoned Professor.

As all big cities Moscow city has railway station too. As a matter of fact that's not one station there but a whole bunch of it, located in different places in the city and each one serves some particular directions, often the stations named after

The formal procedure of the Exhibition opening was started with a grand marching of girls wearing hussar costumes. Before the show began any one could look at the displays – the creations of Russian plants were right at the allotted spot, and

there one could see not only the weapon of destruction, but totally peaceful tractors and excavators as well. The interesting part is that the most of the technical units in it are similar to those used in war machines.

AK-47 is probably one of the most well-known Russian weaponry piece. They say it became so popular worldwide because of it's high durability (it can go for years without any kind of cleaning or special maintenance) and extreme simplicity - it has only eight moving parts and can be stripped down in one minute. In some countries of

Africa it can be bought as cheap as $12 for one piece and no any license is needed, so even children armed with the guns. Maybe that's why some of the countries of this continent have the AK-47 depiction on their coats of arms, like Mozambique on pictures above has it both on its flag and coats of arms.
