As you can see from this video, Bulgarian chess player Ivan Cheparinov refuses twice to shake hands with the English chessplayer Nigel Short. According to the rules, you must always shake hands with your opponent before the game, that’s why Cheparinov game against Short was considered a forfeit for the Bulgarian. After the appeal they were told to play the next day, as a result Short had beaten Cheparinov for good…
 

 

Hummer Tank from Russia…

by Rfun No Comments »


It’s a common stereotype that guys buy large SUVs to feel manlier about themselves, well then think how pathetic must you be if you buy a Hummer H2 SUV and then still feel the need to install a mini tank in the front. Imagine having to explain that decision to your girlfriend…

Supercar transportation crisis in Russia…

by Rfun No Comments »


Well when you transport your Bugatti Veyron that cost 1 million dollars + tax on a cheap Korean flatbed truck, then i guess it’s pointless to wonder why a Saleen S7 supercar that costs just $555,000 (in America) is being transported the same way…

Hedgehog in the fog…

by Rfun 1 Comment »


Hedgehog in the fog is the amazing Russian cartoon from 1975. Everyone who grew up in the former Soviet Union remembers it and perhaps will understand it’s meaning a little bit better now that they have grown up. Hedgehog in the fog was voted “Number 1 animated film of all time” in “All time animation best 150 in Japan and Worldwide” back in 2003. Here is the cartoon with English subtitles and pictures of someone who decided to put his favorite cartoon character on his car…

Girinovsky makes a fool out of himself again…

by Rfun No Comments »


  
Well this idiot had embarrassed himself plenty of times in the past and you can view those
here, but now here is another performance of Vladimir Girinovsky - a famous insane “politician” from Russia. In this video he becomes extremely unhappy with one University professor who tried to challenge him. At the end of the video Girinovsky is experiencing another one of his famous rages and openly shoves the guy and orders him to leave the studio then tells his staff member to murder this professor in the hallway…

Well in Russia they build playgrounds rather differently…  I’m not sure how someone who has kids of their own could design something like this but these are some of the actual playgrounds that Russian youth has to play with, don’t blame the kids if they grow up to be mean…

Moskvich that never made it…

by Rfun No Comments »


We have already shown you one concept from GAZ that never made it here, as well as the state in which a former Moskvich manufacturer is in right now here, well now take a look at a very futuristic concept that they were building in 1985-88. This Moskvich 2144 “ISTRA” had an automatic gearbox, possibility of a clean diesel engine and windshield that could display information, and weirdly only one peddle for some reason…

by Rfun No Comments »


While this might look like your average military truck but in reality it was heavily modified to make it more luxurious and comfortable for everyday use. Here is what they did to it:
 
1. Made changes to gearbox making it switch gears via joystick.
2. Changed the interior and installed soundproofing.
3. Installed new windows & mirrors as well as new seats from Chrysler.
4. Installed a rear view camera, and a heater
5. And of course installed new music, & DVD player with screens for passengers.
