I was just fascinated with that dog that kept running in front of them while they were walking to and from the Russian supermarket which is actually pretty much a liquor store.
I’ll never know and do not care.
Bald and Bankrupt is my favorite YouTube blogger.
Drinking Vodka In A Soviet Apartment...Has it ever not been done?
Powerful. Russians DEFINITELY know how to enjoy themselves!
I think you have a secret crush on the bald and bankrupt guy but you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, we won’t judge here.
You just did.
I don’t think any less of you for it.
A blast from the past…
A group of Russians visited Moscow and all shared the same room in the hotel. They were soon drinking, talking, telling political jokes, laughing, and generally making a lot of noise.
One of them eventually wanted to sleep, so he asked the others to be quiet, but they kept going.
Finally he got an idea. He went out of the room and told the attendant to bring him a tea, but wait for a couple of minutes with it.
Then after returning he said to his friends: “Shut up, this room is under surveillance.”
They laughed.
Then he lifted a corner of the carpet and said: “Bring me a cup of tea, please.”
Suddenly, the attendant shows with the tea.
They were all are stunned and shut up instantly.
In the morning, the guy woke up to an empty room.
He asks the attendant: “What happened to all my comrades?”
“Oh, the NKVD took them all away! And, by the way, comrade Major really enjoyed your carpet trick!”
Bald and bankrupt guy is living la vida loca in old soviet areas. He is funny and a bit nuts.
That is some hearty-looking bread.
If we lost 27 million in World Ward 2 we'd probably drink that much too.
Haha! Interesting vid.
One of mechanics is Russian and is the only one in the area to work on our SAAB. Been here 20+ years....but prints a diagram of car parts to help him explain issues with the car because his English is still poor.
I spent time in Moscow and surrounding areas.
Our apartment was bugged - since there was no way a small apartment living room needed 11 smoke detectors!
I’ve never seen so many men in uniforms.
Drivers are crazy and lanes are optional.
Saturday and Sunday morning there were men laying everywhere who passed out drunk (presumably) the night before.
Our adoption coordinator knew who to bribe and who to threaten to get things done. She was something.
Old people were out at 5:30 am, in the dark, shoveling streets with shovels made out of a small piece of plywood on a stick.
A Russian wedding I was at was the first wedding where people brought their own bottles of booze to drink. Once the vodka started to flow, the dancing started.
I was interrogated in court by a judge (my answers were translated into Russian *as I was speaking*) regarding adopting our daughter. He was great.
I think we’re in the middle of World Ward 2 right now! :-D
You want to laugh you blasted behind off? here is the Russian video you need to see.

Can’t tell you how much this reminded me of some of my freetime during work travels.
The World Ward Two is down the hall and to the leftists.
Well, that was 16 minutes of my life I won’t get back.
The dog WAS good - along with the seconds-long violin segments; but those were the only interesting parts.
