Thanks to Russian police, it seems like we’ll never have a shortage of funny material about them. Taking a bribe in a public here, breaking laws in a public place there, simply scratching themselves, or just being themselves. Well, here are two more videos of dopey cops, and while you need to know Russian to understand the first one, the 2nd video is self explanatory…
Here is an “exclusive” video from inside one of the cars that participated in a Russian rally competition. The co-driver reads the corners, then while the driver is going 140km/h in fourth gear, he informs him that the left corner which can only be done in 2nd or 3rd gear is coming up, the driver acted but it was too late…
Breaking the rules of this site once again, we are posting a video from Ukraine. A driver in the video was stopped by police because he was going 85mp/h. Perhaps police were ready to receive a big bribe, instead they got cursed out by a general who simply refused to show them his driver’s license, and drove off…
Real “tough guys” usually are the ones buying huge expensive SUVs thinking that when the magic moment comes and they actually drive their gas guzzler off the road (usually once a year or so), & that there will be absolutely nothing that could stop them. Unfortunately this is usually never the case, since even the slightest bit of mud gets them so stuck that they have to rely on old beaten up tractors to get themselves out, but perhaps this is what the off road experience is actually all about…
A news anchor in Russia was clearly thinking about something else while reading a story about the about the Wimbledon. When taking about the Grand Slam Title, which in Russian is called “Bolshoi Shlem”, (big helmet) she accidentally referred to it as a “Bolshoi Chlen”, which translates as a “big penis” in Russian…
You probably know already that we are very biased towards Russian Cops on this site, mainly because most of them have no honor and take bribes constantly, nevertheless we are probably even more biased towards the insanely expensive cars some of them get to drive. Here is a gallery that shows you what they used to drive back in USSR days, make sure to click on the link down in the gallery to see what some of them drive these days…
Ilushin-86 remains the first Russian wide body passenger airliner. Making its maiden flight back in 1976, 42 out of 103 Il-86 produced, still remain flying today. Il-86 is a very safe aircraft, with only one crash with fatalities back in 2002. One thing that had been noted about Il-86 is their periodic long take off rolls. While most of the Il-86 take offs are pretty much uneventful, at some airports where the short runaways, high temperatures, humidity and heavy summer loads come into play, the take offs can appear quite dramatic (image 1, image 2, image 3)…
On the World’s Economic Forum held in Russia, the announcer had first mistakenly announced the entrance of Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev, by calling him Vladimir Putin, then later fixed himself…
Here is a collection of ads that Russian car manufacturers did in order to appeal to the Russian, as well as the foreign customers…
One manager in Moscow got pretty crazy over something, here is what he did to his beloved office…
While the Krapoviy (crimson) Beret might seem as the casual red painted beret, but what it represents, as well as its exclusivity is what makes it so valuable. First issuing Krapoviy Beret in 1978, only those special forces soldiers who had demonstrated extraordinary courage in combat could be entitled to wear one. Russian special forces also performs vigorous tests twice a year, in order to see who is worthy of getting one…
For those of you who speak Russian, this video will show you a very stuck up Russian policeman cursing out another cop, while the TV cameras were rolling…
