With Women’s Day just around the corner, social networks like Instagram and VKontakte have become flooded with ads from Russian entrepreneurs offering women in Moscow the chance to rent impressive 101-rose bouquets and designer shopping bags for 10-minute photo shoots.
If your boyfriend is cheap, but you want to spark the envy of all your girlfriends without actually breaking the bank, or if you just want to make your boyfriend jealous, and you live in Moscow, Russia, there are a number of online services that you can use to have a gorgeous bouquet and an expensive-looking gift delivered at your doorstep for a 10-minute photo session. You can then post the pics online on March 8 and watch everyone go green with envy.
Panel buildings, post-Soviet music, hardcore depression welcome to the world of Russian doomers Adherents of this new Russian subculture were just listening to post-Soviet music and dreaming of a better existence, when all of a sudden their aesthetic struck a chord abroad. Now, to a Russian doomer soundtrack Western vloggers are shooting KGB parodies and even how-to guides for dyeing armpit hair.
“. I was always drawn to ruins . Derelict buildings used and then abandoned for whatever reason . people use each other too, and abandon and forget them just as readily when the goal is achieved. . I envy their mindset, so absorbed by consumption that it fails to notice the hollowness, the stupidity of their own aspirations and empty hopes. Their optimism seems abnormal to me. They dance around like holy fools in the sun, whose rays endow them with malign aspirations.
