DAILY PHOTOS FROM RUSSIAN CITIES

That’s a daily, probably not exact daily but several time a week series
 of Russian street life, the photos gathered from different sources,
on which the nice moments are caught, with some commentaries.
 Just for some easy viewing.
daily russian photos
Neither he is not a military man, just some kind of guard wearing
scary military uniform, it seems that he is guarding an antique store,
 at least that what is written on that red sign.

russian car lada in some weird appearance
That is Russian car “LADA 2109”, it was in production since late
 80-s until something like 2002. The funny thing that it is not a photo
 from a car accident but a real car driving across some big city.
russian car uaz being used in russian police
This is a patrol car UAZ. The initial model of this car is in production
since early 60-s! It was built with idea it could be moving ahead of
 the tank squad across the fields and forests areas where are absolutely
 no roads. Nowadays they are still in production and are being used
 in big cities in a few modifications. The doors from the back of the
 car are used to place suspects inside.
russian policeman, dancing
 This is a Russian police guy trying to stop a car probably or just
making some magic passes with his wand. Road patrol policemen
 in Russia take money without issuing a ticket in 90% of the cases.
There are drivers who pay each year a lot of penalties and none
of them go through a bank, but directly to a police officer. That’s
pretty nice – you can always argue a much lower amount of the fine
with an officer, and you don’t need to waste your time visiting a bank.
There was a story once in Russian mass media, that police officers
from road patrols are making some scratches with a needle on the
 driver’s license. They were doing this to share their experience in
 establishing business relation with each specific driver. A dot made
on the nose part of the photo on the driver’s license meant for
example that it’s easy to get a lot from this driver and dots on the
ears meant that it was easy to turn the driver to a state of panic
with some rough words etc.
Some drivers started noticing this dots on their licenses after dating
the road patrols and rumors start spreading, so policemen stopped
doing these things.
russian lady carrying something
Just a funny way of transporting both the chair and the flower in one hand.
russian girl in short skirt
Just a Russian girl, the sign on the skirt is “Smaller is better”.
Ukrainian bureau for a better city scape
That’s from Ukraine, former part of USSR, in there are still a lot people
 (more than half) speak Russian. According to the sign this is a building
 is a “Bureau for Better City Look”, of Odessa city. By the way David
Copperfield is from Odessa.
russian car volga with a russian bear as a passenger
That’s how most of people see Russia sometimes. Bears riding the
 Taxi cars. Well, it seems sometimes they are right.
russian policemen, govermental building
These are Russian police officers, standing near some govermental
 building, this gate with some brass elements looks very much
govermental. I can’t for sure say that the forth gay, the one
 standing aside, is doing something weird. It is a total lack of respect
 for a goverment!

This is Wedding Truck. Probably for carrying a lot of guests. By the
way this truck’s brand name is KAMAZ, they win every year
 Paris-Dakkar European race (from Paris to Middle Africa).
russian dance, russian kids
That’s a photo from some performance contest for the kids. The organizer
 of the contest probably was thinking about his own viewing pleasure than
 about the children’s one. I hope those kids won’t get a psychological
trauma seeing this.
It’s nice to see the pictures people are sending in, if you are living in Russia
and want to share with me some of your snapshots it would be really apreciated.
