Beard Tax
If you ever found yourself in need of a shave you didn’t want to pay for, then Russia would have been the place to be in. There was a time when having a beard meant you needed to pay a tax for it. Had you not paid the tax, the beard police (yes, the beard police) would shave your hairy face right where you were. Whew, thank goodness that law has been let go.
Так будет халявкка-то?
Into Outer Space
During the Cold War, huge focus was placed on putting a man on the moon. The Soviets definitely won the short leg of the race when they sent Yuri Gagarin into orbit around the Earth in 1961. But America successfully landed Apollo 11 (hush, conspiracy theorists) by 1969. But what most people don’t talk about are the many Soviet cosmonauts who died during failed test flights. The numbers are astonishing, but records of the “Lost Cosmonauts” have all disappeared
Icicles
Now this one is going to sound a bit strange, but just bear with me. Russia can boast being one of the coldest places in the world, and it has served them well during enemy attacks throughout the centuries. But one of the greatest dangers during the winter actually happens to be icicles! Since they grow so large, they have fallen from gutters and injured passers-by. Many sidewalks will be blocked because of this.

If you happen to visit St. Petersburg, you should really take a walk (avoid sidewalks) to the bridge that takes you to the Peter and Paul Fortress. There you will see a statue of a hare which pays tribute to the thousands of hares that perished in the massive flood in the 18th century. That’s sweet, isn’t it?

Have you ever seen pop-up ads on your desktop for Russian brides? Well that might actually be legitimate and I’ll tell you why. According to a 2014 census, there were around 10.5 million more women than men in Russia. What’s kind of alarming, is that according to officials, the birth rate of males and females is equal. So what exactly happens to those males as they get older?

For a communist country, we must say that they sure have a lot of billionaires in one place. While New York has 62 billionaires, Moscow claims 84! If we put all their money together, we would find the cushy sum of 366 billion dollars. I could think of a few things to do with that.
During the “Kitchen Debate” of 1959 when vice President Nixon met with Premiere Nikita Khrushchev in Russia, something great happened. At the time soft drinks didn’t exist in the Soviet Union so when Nixon shared a Pepsi with Khrushchev, they didn’t realize what an impact it would have. Today Pepsi’s has its second largest market share in Russia. See what sharing can do?
странствующий голубь... индейцы... бизоны... автоматы с газировкой...
You know when they say that bad publicity is still good publicity, yeah, no, the Russian government doesn’t believe that for one second. Russia comes in first place with the highest number of reporters and journalists killed each year. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say nothing… your life might depend on it.
но это число еще секретней, чем число погибших космонавтов!
When alcohol is like a soft drink, it might not be surprising that heroin and other heavy drugs move quite easily around Russia. One particular drug that is 10 times stronger than heroin is “krokodil”. The drug actually causes the user’s skin to become reptilian (hence the name) and most users can’t survive longer than a few years after becoming addicted. и это сто процентов верно! доказано шприцом на фотке !
Russia is a mass exporter of many things, but none as notorious as serial killers. At least they have become creative with the names of the perpetrators, like “The Butcher of Rostov,” “Raskolnikov in a Skirt,” and “The Chessboard Killer”. Creepy.
Не ходите дети в Рашию гулять!
ну и заключу кат мажорным аккоордом:
If you ever happen to visit Russia on September 12th, don’t be surprised if the streets are empty. The reason might be because that day is called “The Day of Conception”. Since Russia’s population was falling, a Russian governor introduced this special day which encouraged adults to start making babies. The 2005 initiative even used prizes like cars, cash and appliances to encourage parents-to-be to get it ooon.
Это я особенно рекомендую!

ее более последняя жемчужина: Did you say ‘Russia’ or did you say ‘Vodka’? Well, what difference does it make since the two are basically synonymous.Every year during the holiday season, the average Russian will spend up to $400 on their vodka pleasure!
