I've been to the KGB museum there. Seriously depressing place.

[Levas]

yeah, it's a pity that no one thought about nazi/jewish theme parks with nostalgia for some great holocaust tourist attractions. Maybe some time later... By the way, 2011 is a year of holocaust in here or something like that

That's almost like a real life Grand Theft Auto game.

www.englishrussia.com is a good source for crazy and weird russian stuff.

I'm russian and, but I live in Poland for a 3 years now.
The only thing I'd like to say - Yes, Russia if fucking weird.

englishrussia blog is highly recommended stuff, sometimes there some boring shit and stupid ads, but sometimes you can find real gem there.

Don't know if you are familiar or not. An antenna in Russia that was transmitting something, but nobody knows what for years.

From a lonely rusted tower in a forest north of Moscow, a mysterious shortwave radio station transmitted day and night. For at least the decade leading up to 1992, it broadcast almost nothing but beeps; after that, it switched to buzzes, generally between 21 and 34 per minute, each lasting roughly a second—a nasally foghorn blaring through a crackly ether. The signal was said to emanate from the grounds of a voyenni gorodok (mini military city) near the village of Povarovo, and very rarely, perhaps once every few weeks, the monotony was broken by a male voice reciting brief sequences of numbers and words, often strings of Russian names: "Anna, Nikolai, Ivan, Tatyana, Roman." But the balance of the airtime was filled by a steady, almost maddening, series of inexplicable tones.
