What happens when Putin is not watching the Games
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Funny, Politics
It is a very cool series of photos. Look at the picture on the TV screen and how it is changing while Vladimir Putin is turning to it.
Even if the photos are photoshopped, there is some symbolism in them. Also, it should be noted that viewers at least in Russia saw this part of the ceremony this way.

Snow apocalypse in Rostov region
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Cities, People, Photos
Heavy snowfall hit Rostov region on Tuesday, and it was snowing until Friday. January 30, a state of emergency was imposed in the region.
Transport networks and other infrastructure of the two largest towns in the region – Rostov-on-Don and Taganrog – were paralyzed. As a result, supply of food and other goods became irregular. Rostov-on-Don looks like “Rostov-on-Snow” at the moment.
