We had recently posted a story about the IL-76’s bigger brother, IL-86 and it’s sometimes shockingly long take off rolls. As we had said then, the late take offs are often a direct outcome of short runaways, high temperatures, high humidity, and heavy cargo loads. Here is a video from Australia, which as you can see was another extremely close call for the Russian airplane and it’s crew…
We already showed you a funny clip of a Russian news anchor mess up live. Now here is a new one, this one is so much more worse than the previous though, since in the previous clip the news anchor simply misread the word. This clip on the other hand, shows a news anchor not being able to pronounce a word “Undisciplined”, she tries once, she tries twice, then she simply ignores the word and moves on…
Here is the Russian Olympic team, taking pictures on Red Square right before they were flown to Beijing…
Two guys from Russia decided to go on a 1300km (800 mile) bike trip. They started their adventure in Volgograd, and on their way they visited Astrakhan, Elista, and Stavropol.

We have already shown you how the Russian Border Guards celebrated their 90th birthday. Now take a look at how the Russian Airborne Troops did it. On August 2nd, 2008 Russian Airborne Troops had celebrated their 78th birthday. When it comes to celebration itself, it was actually very similar to the one Border Guards had. On this day former Airborne Troopers get out on city streets all over Russia where they meet with their old friends to drink, sing, and of course swim in local fountains!!!
So far we have done few posts about cool things happening in Novosibirsk. Yesterday, on August 1st, 2008 people in that Russian city, were among the very few lucky people on the planet who got to see a full solar eclipse, here is a video & pictures of this rare event…

Kazan is a large Russian city, approximately 500 miles east of Moscow. Tornadoes are very rare in Russia (unless your in the tropics) so It was definitely a big surprise for the citizens of Kazan (a non tropical city) to see a real tornado, after all this is Kazan, not Kansas…
