I know you western liberal pro-gay pigs just want to rob Sochi of its glory right now but they got a few things right! Like this, the classy Sochi Cultural Center. This building is awfully nice.

Wait a second, why can I see through it a little? Oh that's a painted tarp? Well lets check it out from the other side and OH GOD

To be fair, the UK did something similar for a G8 summit, putting up fake shop facades all over towns and villages in the area where it was held.

What blows my mind about Kursk is that it sank at 100 meters. That's insanely shallow. Kursk itself was 150 meters long, for comparison.

Comrade, this village is perfect example of high quality of peasant life. Do not leave village. You may get mauled by wild dogs which come from Kazakstan.

Best thread.

I was genuinely surprised to learn that not only are there palm trees in Russia (WTF?) but that's where Russia chose to have the Winter Olympics - in the only place in their country with palm trees.

Someone's getting trolled.
