Activist Group Femen Protest At Chernobyl

A somewhat awkward explanation translated by Google.

Activists held a rally FEMEN in the 30-kilometer zone of Chernobyl "Murdered peaceful atom." The women's movement FEMEN expresses solidarity with all victims of the peaceful atom, and deep admiration for the heroic actions of the liquidators of the Chernobyl disaster and Fukusimskoy. 
FEMEN urges world community to draw the necessary conclusions and to adopt measures to peaceful atom never killed. 
Women's movement in protest against speculation on the Chernobyl issue. National tragedy should not be a reason for Congress tyrants in Ukraine and for the mourning of the Soviet Union under the nasal Cyrillic mourning. On the memory of the Chernobyl tragedy, this trio is preparing for the future of Ukraine political and humanitarian disaster. 
"Miserable condition of Chernobyl and overcrowded youth cancer hospitals in Ukraine - that's a dosimeter to measure cynicism and vulgarity of today's Ukrainian authorities!" - Said the movement's leader, Anna Gutsol. 








Mark Of Cain (A Russian Crime Tattoo's Documentary)





Lambert traveled on a shoestring budget to document the complex social hierarchy of Russia’s prison system, where inmates use highly symbolic tattoo art as a mark of rank. Since its earliest documented cases in the 1920s, this practice has remained largely a taboo and is actually illegal in Russian prisons, yet some estimates suggest that in the last generation alone, more than 30 million of Russia’s inmates have been inked. The unique visual language of the tattoos encrypts everything you need to know about an inmate without ever asking, from the number of convictions an inmate has to his rank in the crime world.

Russia Inflates Their Military



From the sky these inflatable tanks and fighter planes look just like the real thing. Thus Russia has been able to disguise their true capability from potential enemies. Weighing around 220 pounds these decoys are easy to move and set up wherever they are needed. They even give off a heat signature much like the real thing. This tactic is nothing new and was used to great effect by the Allies during WWII. More over at the Daily Mail.
