Russian Spy Whale Found By Norwegian Fishermen

Posted on April 30, 2019 by team


When the white whale approached the boat of the Norwegian fishermen, they noticed a belt with a fastening device for a action-cam fixed tightly on the creature. The device had a marking “Equipment of Saint Petersburg”. The animal seemed to be tamed, it was friendly and even let the men touch and caress it.

The biologists of the Norwegian marine research institute supposed that the whale belonged to the Fleet of the Russian Navy (maybe in Murmansk) and it could fled without notice.

The professor of the Arctic University in Tromso said that Russians tamed whales and some of them followed Norwegian boats. Such marking, according to him, is never used by Russian or Norwegian scientists, it can only be a military one.

Food Related Posters of the USSR

Posted on April 30, 2019 by team


Food related posters seem to be such a blameless thing, but in the USSR they were an instrument of the propaganda too. Such images could be seen everywhere: in canteens and restaurants, in magazines, in offices, in the streets. Texts on the posters sounded persistently, imposed some ideas and made people follow the loud slogans.

“The one who does not work, does not eat!”

“Both kids and adults love the tartlets of this brand”.

“Pre-packed meat”.

“Jam”.

“Margarine”.

“Let’s make abundance of meat, milk and butter in the country!”

“Сonfectionary “Ideal”, Kharkiv”.

“Do buy canned corn! 5 minutes and your porridge or soup is ready!”

“Crabs are so tasty and soft!”
