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…

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!!!
Well, we’ve already showed you how Russian weddings can be pretty weird at times. Now here is another Russian wedding, that definitely deserves your attention…

The Battle of Stalingrad was a battle between Germany and its allies (Italy, Romania, Hungary) and the Soviet Union for the Soviet city of Stalingrad (today known as Volgograd). The battle took place between July 17, 1942 and February 2, 1943 as part of World War II. It is often considered the turning point of World War II in the European Theater and was arguably the bloodiest battle in human history, with combined casualties estimated above 1.5 million. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides. The battle is taken to include the German siege of Stalingrad, the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the German Sixth Army and other Axis forces around the city.
It has been the 65th anniversary since the battle took place three days ago, here is the gallery dedicated to all of those who participated and in many cases gave up their lives defending and fighting for Stalingrad building by building, this is as real as it gets… (I didn’t include pictures of hundreds of fallen soldiers on the streets of Stalingrad on purpose, i hope you understand why)

Today Russia beat Netherlands 3:1, and therefore it will be the first time that Russia will ever play in the semifinals of European Soccer Cup. Obviously tonight, thousands of fans (700,000 in Moscow alone) had stormed out on the streets of Russia to celebrate this amazing victory. Not to be outdone, Russian people living in New York did exactly the same thing, popping out on Brighton Beach (the Russian neighborhood in New York), beeping their car horns, blowing whistles, blocking couple of streets, and eventually getting cops called on them who helped control the crowd, enjoy…
P.S. The best part of the day was seeing some girl blowing a whistle while cheering, and then two grown men chasing her to get that whistle away from her just so they could be the loudest…
