Looked in a little further. I obviously can't confirm that they're all the same people, but the last photo is Olga Andrianova in 2010. She managed the Russian women's curling squad from at least 2003-2012 and probably much longer. With Sochi coming up Russia decided to drop her and hire some Swiss(?) guy to do better. Of course the only team that did worse in women's curling was the US at Sochi. So far we're well in RUSSIA.jpg territory.

There is also a record of an almost 6 foot tall Olga Andrianova competing for the USSR in the women's discus in 1976. That Olga was born in 1949, meaning that the bottom picture is of a 63 year old woman. Turns out if your hot Russian girl is also an Olympic-level athlete the babushkization will be slower than normal.

that woman could crush a man with her powerful legs even at 63

Speaking of babushkas, Russia sent a team of them to Eurovision Song Contest in 2012.

They seem so happy to be away from whatever Siberian hellhole they were abducted from, while knowing that after the show, they will be shipped right back to knit potatoes out of rusty steel wool :shobon:

Fun fact, they're actually members of a repressed ethnic minority. You have to wonder who made that decision, seeing how they usually get beaten or murdered for writing newspapers in their own language.

I am going to Belarus next week (with some student organization). Here's a short piece about the national cuisine from the Belarussian organizers... potato is life.

quote:

While in Belarus, you should definitely try national Belarusian dishes. Belarusian
national cuisine has a long history. The most popular product and ingredient of the
Belarusian cuisine is potato. Potato is at the Belarusian table every season and in
any state - fried, boiled, baked, stuffed. It is an ingredient for soups, and salads, and
patties. One of the favorite specialties among all the generations of the Belarusians
is, for sure, draniki - potato thick pancakes. Certainly, potato is not the only one that
the Belarusians eat. Carrot, cabbage, peas, sorrel, mushrooms, berries, river fish, as
well as cultured milk foods are also widely used in the cuisine. It is specific, that the
dishes of the Belarusian cuisine are rare very spicy. The Belarusian cuisine cares not
so much about some special ingredients, but the process of their cooking. Just one
product (whether it is oatmeal, or rye flour, or potato) can be cooked, but then it is
cooked complexly.

Belarus is russified as gently caress so you are basically going to a soviet museum

Belarus is closer to Poland and Baltic states than to Russia but as long as comrade lukeshenko is in power they all think of themselves as russians

Minsk is a nice enough place and the people seemed super super nice when I was there. Not sure if recent happenings changed anything but they seemed to like Americans. If I wasn't married/with my wife I am pretty sure I could have had a lot of sex. HTH.

On the one hand that's adorable and once again shows how awesome crows are.

On the other hand it's worrying because animals have waaaaay lower alcohol tolerances than humans. It's possible that could've ended up killing the crow directly or indirectly by making it stumble into traffic or something :(
