The men of Russia's Arctic city of Murmansk have an unlikely passion - as a woman living there explains: "Many men in Murmansk love escaping to their garages, which are often built far away from the apartment blocks where they live."

“My dream for many years. A place to create, to work with my hands, summer or winter. Somethin’ simple. Just me, my tools, and God.”
Same Here! Great Post!
My garagre is my refuge. Thankfully, it is far more accommodating than the ones shown in this story!
Great story, I loved it!

Vodka is the fool's mistress.
Sometimes, people post pictures of some Hollywood “hottie” on FR, and they don’t do a thing for me. “Eh.” The same can’t be said here. Wow. I wish Russia bordered Texas to the south and the coyotes were bringing up these ladies. Heh.
I wonder where you go for auto parts in Murmansk.
Also like my brother's garage in Sonoma, CA.
Well, I guess American men have something in common with the guys of Murmansk.
Be careful what you wish for...
Huh? Ron Paul is already in Texas!
Some of those women look really sweet. Some of them look like they’d end up being a Big Problem. Russian women are like any other women, guy: some are a dream and some are a nightmare.
I’ll take my chances with the redhead in the second row.
I now know for a fact that our government lied to us about Russian women during those decades of the Cold War. If we had known what we know now, our G.I.’s would have demanded we invade and conquer.
"The men spend a lot of time there, repairing their cars and talking politics or gossiping."
"The garages are often furnished with old furniture, so after bad rows with their wives the men can come here to stay for a few days."
"It is strange that behind all these doors, inside all these garages without windows, there is so much going on, like it's a secret society."

I said that to a lady friend once as an ambulance went by on the first day of the week.
