Are they wearing tracksuits under those jackets? Those are totally track pants they're wearing. What is it with russians and wearing tracksuits? Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis#Chemical_attack I'd be more afraid of those guys than any terrorist attack.

Agrajag posted:Russian tactical plastic bag. In some Eastern Block countries plastic bags are legit status symbols. I think it was in Romania that I saw practically every other person on the street carrying plastic bags with Hugo Boss and similar boutique logos. I had to wonder if somebody was making a living printing and selling these giant quantities of crappy shopping bags.

Fat Ogre posted:I worked at a computer hardware manufacturing company in the late 90s early 2000s and they had stories about trying to get their stuff on the shelf in Europe. Most of them were tame like different voltages for plugging in things or marketing on the box could be racist in one country and totally acceptable in another. But nothing tops Russia. A box containing a plastic pipe flange of ours was "detained" at russian customs and they said we needed to pay an customs fee (read: bribe) to get it back. Since then the only stuff we ship to russia is the stuff that our agents have paid for since they'll have already footed the bribes for it. India is almost as bad but not quite.

ZombieReagan posted:that was the hilarious part of the "greek yogurt" thing from yesterday, obviously they were missing the part where they just needed to pay off someone in russia to get the poo poo over there. When I heard about that, I knew immediately someone balked at paying a bribe somewhere along the line. Like the Russians really give a poo poo about yogurt safety. See Yellow water, packs of wild dogs, tarp roof etc etc.

I wonder if this is something they do in Sochi. Like Lemonade Enemas. And we are the people just being weird. Comrade, throat ulcers from too much wodka make drinking difficult. Put wodka in anus and cut out middle man!

Or maybe it's just a really passive-aggressive response to all the international criticism of Russian homophobia. "Foreign homo put everything in rear end in a top hat, da? Is no problem, Russia very tolerant."

Maybe if those journalists had been paying attention instead of typing whinging tirades on twitter they might've been able to stop that pack of dogs from making off with the lobby of their hotel
