Not really, though if one would pick generalized musical preference of Russian farmers etc. then it would be chanson. Though, unlike French chanson, which is basically storytelling with music, Russian chanson is mix between French chanson, bard tales, klezmer and thug life. Which basically boils down to criminals, convicts and ex-convicts primitively singing to a simple music with a 'smokers' voice, even if they have to fake that.

Also, rock is popular, Soviet rock like Viktor Tsoi in particular.

Also Funk was really popular back then, not just in Russia, but throughout all the USSR. Welcome to Georgia, 1973: http://youtu.be/nIP8yqIuQiE?t=3m43s

Something that has just happened in Finland, but for a reason it fits RUSSIA.JPG:

E75 (Nelostie), the main road running through Finland has been closed after a car transport driven by a foreigner crashed his truck under influence. In all likelihood the driver is Russian and the cars were picked from a Finnish port to be delivered to Russia.




I just wish this country was more like Russia so we'd have a dash camera recording of the event :(

If you drink like Russian you wake up with a buzz and a cigarette. Or dead. Dead is better but Russian "hangover" is better than being sober in Russia.

While a bunch of these pictures are simply stupid design (or building stuff without any design) some others show a lot of inventiveness with very limited resources. I like that. It's like the Cuba documentary thing where they repurpose any and all old electronics for the weirdest stuff because they can't get new things.

A former Russian flatmate and I drank a litre bottle of birch vodka each after deciding to do "a few" shots. I spent the next day lying on the bathroom floor vomiting approximately every 20 minutes for 7 hours while he went to work like nothing happened.

Well that's my story.
there's so much empty undeveloped space in russia, all of it going to waste (also it's full of russians). someone should move in, settle and develop it. europe is too cramped & it'll alleviate this.

The Meijer by me used to have a little shop at the front where you could get Face Blankets. Every Christmas they'd roll that one that had two twin women and a beagle. All three had matching sweaters and matching dead eyes.



I still kick myself for not buying it.

the problem with russia is that, like most of canada, it's a barren cold wasteland and the parts that aren't need to be cleared of human waste before settling

Last I recall, some German dudes tried that a few years ago, and it just ended up making Russian-ness spread as far west as Berlin!
