Gasoline shortages are spreading in Russia. In due course, gangs of Federal Security Officers will have to carry Putin around in his limo because of gas shortages, as if the limo were a sedan chair or pharaoh’s litter.

Gold Star medal of the Hero of the Russian Federation for all those involved.

Everything in Russia is based on ass (жопа, i.e. zhopa). Thus other than Moscow and, to an extent, Saint Petersburg, all Russian cities are full of excrement, except those full of urine and those flooded with something other than sewage.

Some bomb sites were cleaned up and prefabricated homes like this one were thrown up. It’s rare to see one still in existence. (Obviously no satellites in those days.)

Take a look at a street of Victorian houses in London. Brick, but plenty of painted features.
