These ‘No Context Russia’ Photos Prove It’s A Totally Different Country

Imagine what it's like for foreigners who visit America who see things they aren't used to seeing. Well, the same goes for Americans who go to other countries.

Without background information, it's tough to figure out what's going on in some places. Here are no context photos from Russia that prove it's unlike any place out there.

Why did she have to bring this flamethrower to destroy the statue? They made a whole event out of it.

Looking at his clothes and he can't decide what to wear. It doesn't seem like a tough decision.

Poor girl can't catch a break. The seasons in Siberia clearly go from one extreme to another.

Apparently in Russia when a polar bear comes to your door you don't close it and run for your life. Instead, you give it a little wave and take a selfie.

When you picture a Russian mobster you probably picture him in a full Adidas tracksuit. If you picture that same Russian mobster going to a formal gala, this is probably how you pictured him.

Why buy Armani when you know you trust Adidas? This is really about personal preference and we can't blame this man for sticking to his morals.
