The US Cocom officials didn't believe it either and gave a green light for the project.

Oh yeah, apparently the SU didn't have the technology

Woot?

Where are the WMD?

I saw a news program mentioned at the beginning of this thread. I mean - I saw it with my own eyes. And now some russophobic illiterate morons who can't even read Cyrillic letters tell me that it wasn't as I saw it!

I read Western articles about Russia and I mostly see hallucinations from people who know that we have bears walking in the streets.

That's sad.

How many nuclear icebreakers US has? Why don't Canada or Denmark send their probes to the North Pole?

A new discovery? Where did you hear that? I mean - who said so?

LePaul, I am a big Beatles fan, but your view from the 60s surprises me. You post as if you hallucinate.

Boroda, you strike me as a nice guy in real life. Its a shame your worldview is so, so narrow.

While the rest of the planet has moved on, Russia is lingering to re-live the 60s. I would, but I just aint much of a Beatles fan

My sentiments exactly.

Boroda brings good points.

We should always try to remember that we don't know what we don't know.

Bears do ride in taxi cabs though. See about 1/2 way down the page.

More good pics, http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.englishrussia.com/images/daily_photos/33.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.englishrussia.com/%3Fp%3D261&h=237&w=320&sz=80&hl=en&start=3&tbnid=8f23AezG8BFZKM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drussian%2Bbears%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

The pic just above the bear in taxi is also good, That’s from Ukraine, former part of USSR, in there are still a lot people (more than half) speak Russian. According to the sign this is a building is a “Bureau for Better City Look”, of Odessa city.

he taxi cab has Belorussian plates, and it's a dummy bear.

Look, even when you try to joke - it looks silly.

Odessa is Odessa, it's a special place, not Russia, not Ukraine, not Israel. Very special. I can make such photos in any country. The sign in Ukrainian is "Bureau of city aesthetics and outdoor advertising" if I can read the letters correctly, they are too small.

For me the first photo is the most funny. An antique store and it's guard

Rauma-Repola? Great shipyard. Wasn't it them who built Taimyr and Vaigach nuclear icebreakers hulls? I still have a Rauma-Repola pin with a small piece of amber somewhere, got it from one of the Father's friends in SPb (Leningrad) when I was a kid.

Why don't you guys build more submersibles like that and give them for hire to barbaric nations like America, Canada or Denmark?

I understand that Russia is the only market for nuclear icebreaker hulls, but such small hi-tech things should be quite popular. In fact it's more technologically advanced then some space vehicles. (Look, I admit that I have never heard of where Mirs were built, i first read about Mirs in "Science and Life" magazine in mid-80s and don't remember them mentioning Finland).

I'm waiting for Boroda to say that they invented the internet instead of Al Gore.

The Russians have any Newt Suits?

1987: the Newt Suit, developed by the Canadian engineer Phil Nuytten. The Newt Suit is constructed to function like a 'submarine you can wear', allowing the diver to work at normal atmospheric pressure even at depths of over 300 metres. Made of cast aluminium, it has fully-articulated joints so the diver can move more easily underwater. The life-support system provides 6–8 hours of air, with an emergency back-up supply of an additional 48 hours.

Any Deep Worker? It is a self-propelled one-person submarine designed by Dr Phil Nuytten. It is able to descend to a depth of 606 metres and can travel at speeds of up to 3.5 knots.

I thought it's clear that my post was against "journalists", propaganda-warriors. Sorry if I offended You.

I can hardly be called "Ameriphobe", I just understand that our countries have different interests. Both Red and Blue sides are not "good" or "evil", as I see it.
