STORYLINE
Russia's President Putin has described it as the key issue influencing relations between his country and the European Union. It is the historical and geographical oddity of Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave soon to be surrounded by an expanded EU. When Poland and Lithuania become EU members in 2004 citizens of Kaliningrad will need visas to travel to the Russian motherland. Russian nationalists in Moscow are bridling at the suggestion amid fears that Kaliningrad is already being entranced by the siren voices of the West

A Russian City's Surprising German Roots | National Geographic
When people think of Kaliningrad, Russia, they often picture beautiful beaches or a quaint fishing village. But during this stop in his World Cup tour of Russia, National Geographic reporter Sergey Gordeev discovers that the city’s German roots—from its architecture and neighborhood names to its most famous historical resident, German philosopher Immanuel Kant—are what make the former German city of Koenigsburg so unique.

Cargo trucks from the Russian humanitarian aid convoy crossed the Izvarino-Donetsk border on the Russian side Saturday morning after delivering the relief aid to the city of Lugansk, Friday. The convoy was met by scores of people in support of the humanitarian effort.
Stranded at the Ukrainian border for over one week awaiting the green light of the Kiev authorities, Moscow made the call for the 280-truck convoy to proceed on Friday into Ukrainian territory without waiting for additional permission from Kiev.
After getting to Lugansk, the convoy proceeded to a depot where volunteers helped offloading the food supplies and other crisis relief goods for further distribution. Water and electricity shortages in Lugansk have created an acute humanitarian crisis, following shelling from Kiev.

My Arrival In volgograd And First Visit To Mamayev Kurgan
As I walked to find Mamayev Kurgan stumbled upon a greenish building, thought it was the Stalingrad Tractor Works (factory) but it was not. The plaque in the façade says: “that the factory and the territory around was defended by a snipper (and gives his name)” not what I mentioned in the video. When I entered the building to inquire, the guard and another person there basically send me to hell, since they did not speak anything but russian.
Walking from the railway station to Mamayev Kurgan was amazing! Specially as I got closer and say the big statue of Mother Calls.
What an amazing experience in my life!

???? Museum of Soviet ARCADE MACHINES (Budget Travel Russia) {St. Petersburg, RUSSIA}
Budget Travel Russia #13
Vintage Soviet arcade machines are no longer relegated to the relics of forgotten electronics. Tucked away from the main sights along Nevsky Street in St. Petersburg, a converted warehouse contains refurbished arcade games honoring USSR technology.
Dozens of vintage Soviet arcade machines are on display at which to be admired, gawked and yes, played in this interactive museum. While it is said the technology of the USSR was always behind the West, and these games would be a prime example, these video games, pinballs and tabletop sports still display a level of technological sophistication that made them fun to play decades ago and even more enjoyable today with their nostalgia.
Matt captures some of the Museum's exuberance and even tries his hand at pulling the Giant Turnip. You have to be there to get it.

CRAZIEST Things That Only Happen in Russia
Russia is a very unique country and if you come here, you might be a little surprised by what you come across. From secret cities to the police, here are 14 craziest things that only happen in Russia
Subscribe to American Eye
7. The Bolshoi Theatre
This theatre located in the heart of Moscow has been the most prestigious theatre in all of Russia. With the other Bolshoi Theatre being demolished in St. Petersburg, the only place you can really see opera and ballet with such high profile spectators, is in Moscow. Only the highest profile singers, actors and dancers will ever have a chance to work here and it’s become somewhat of a symbol of prestige and aristocracy among Russians. There was a bit of controversy around this place when it cost taxpayers the equivalent of 1.1 Billion dollars to renovate. This might also be the only place where you’ll find the NSA whistleblower edward snowden out in the public and he was captured in this photo.
6. Lake Karachay
Located in Russia’s Chelyabinsk Oblast Region, near the border of Kazakhstan, it’s been home to quite a few accidents, releasing a deadly cocktail of hazardous radioactive elements into the water. The lake has also been known to dry up and spread radioactive dust in the wind! Lake Karachay has been a dumping ground for one of the Soviet Union’s biggest Nuclear weapons facilities and it wouldn’t be a good idea to even get close. It’s currently listed as a near surface and dry nuclear waste storage facility and it appears from google maps at least that the pollution has caused the entire lake to dry up.
5. King Friedrich Wilhelm I Fort
Located in Russia, this abandoned fortress was the largest in the are for quite some time during the 17th century. It’s found in the exclave of Russia known as Kaliningrad located on the border with poland. Eventually, it was left abandoned and the forest around it took over the area. People are allowed to visit it but check it out at your own risk and bring your visas!
4. Booty Slapping Competition
Have you been slapping booty for quite= some time now and you think you can make a living from it?! There’s also face slapping competitions in Russia where contestants slap each other in the face as hard as they can until they quit. Basically that’s what they’re doing here but women like anastasia but what to cause any damage to their beautiful face.Booty slapping is they way to go. Vasily Kamotsky won the mens face slapping competitions and took home 30,000 rubles. When translated into english about 466 dollars.
3. Grand Kremlin Palace
Russia sneaks its way on our list again because the grand kremlin office in Moscow is pretty awesome. Designed for the Czars of Russia in the 1800’s, it displays a massive amount of elegance and culture. With crystal chandeliers, and polished floors you almost have to wonder what the amber room would have looked like. The highly saught after land it was built on involved the demolition of other great palaces that were previously there. We’re sure putin will have a difficult choice where to stay at sometimes.
2. Gulag Camps
Could Russian gulag camps still be out there? Maybe not all of them are gone since the soviet union times possibly? Could Vladmir Putin still be sending his political enemies to forced labor camps in Siberia. It certainly seems possible with many of his opponents mysteriously vanishing. After an interview with a rogue KGB agent named Yuri Bezmenov who defected to canada, he stated gulag camps in Siberia were still being utilized in the 1980’s. It makes you wonder if they could still be out there, violating human rights. He also goes on to mention how Russian propaganda was very successful at demoralizing American society and makes accurate predictions about what will happen in our country and how marxism is slowly sneaking its way into our government. We suggest you listen to his interview if you got the time
