photos of the day – behind the iron curtain
“Na Zdorovye!” as these would-be Russians would say—well, all except the one who was genuinely born with the “water of life” already burning through his Belarusian veins.
I know I said this was to be an informal week of edjumacation about the world around you, but let’s take a break from exploring all the flora and fauna to peek beneath the bagged-out skirt of Mother Russia. For the longest time in history what went on behind the Iron Curtain stayed behind the Iron Curtain, but that’s all changing today. No, I’m not talking about the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Borat, I’m talking about some of the photographic silliness that took place when the Wildboyz cast and crew took Russia by a not so sober storm in 2005—their last great adventure before the world-traveling jig was up.
Despite what this looks like … no, never mind, it’s exactly what it looks like. Next!
The dawn of man, the birth of the Burgundy Wolf. Avoooooooooooooooodka!
No trip to Russia is complete without a babushka sighting. Collect and trade them with your friends!
Wolfie may come across as a nice guy, but the truth is he’s just another crasshole American abroad.
Remember what I said about that one guy with the “water of life” in his veins? Well, here he is again replenishing his internal reservoir. Do svidaniya!
