The Unbelievable Russians

Now you may think that's a socialist remnant, but it's not - they built this butt ugly building in 2003

Anyway, I made this thread to recommend a site for those looking for light fun with Russia: http://www.englishrussia.com

It's filled with commercials but the version you get if you read it through a RSS reader is clean. It has great stuff about Russia every day. For example, this guy, apparently, built a one-man submarine:

I hope military people in Helsinki are taking notice. A couple hundred of those could travel St. Petersburg - Helsinki in a matter of days

I actually think that that building is cool looking in a weird way. It looks like a cross between a castle and a skyscraper.

Here's a picture of a real Russian-built horror show.

No. Any way you look at it it's still crap.

I think the first building is alright actually, the second one is utterly revolting, however...

One of them is a Soviet-era building, one of seven of "Stalin's teeth" circling the Kremlin.

The second looks like a robot. It's got the eyes, antennae, teeth... Brilliant.

You're a liberal. You should butt-love the murdering socialists.

The photo on the second is bad, but they are both beautiful.
Better than what passes for architecture in Europe today

It looks like a concrete bear head with really high forehead...
