A posh palace is being built on the bank of Istrin water reservoir in the Moscow region. It's a mansion looking like a huge 18th century palace, which is already informally named "Istrin mansion". Its appearance, quick

This story happened a few days ago in Ekaterinburg city, in Ural region in Russia. One man decided to add some money to his bank account via ATM. He went to the nearest one and put 2,000 roubles (around $74). The ATM took the money and returned him a slip. Here is the

photo of that slip: The amount on the slip was 2,006,699,00 RUR (around $7,430,000). He was astonished, he has got another slip – and still the amount was the same. So he decided to go the bank and tell them about the mistake ATM made.
