Someone recreated the ending of the Russian cult classic Brat 2 as a GTA game.
Danila and Dasha are finally leaving America and flying back to Russia — now with the graphics and HUD of GTA: San Andreas.
“Boy, bring us some vodka. We’re flying home.”
Would you play Brat 2: San Andreas?

This Russian train doesn’t take you to another city. It takes you straight back to 2007.
A guy runs through the carriages and somehow enters a time capsule of old-school Russian train life: tracksuits, gopnik energy, random passengers and the unmistakable feeling that the last 19 years never happened.
Some trains have destinations. This one has an era.

Selling Homemade Gasoline.
An AI-generated meme poking fun at Russia’s fuel shortages.
Putin recently supported the idea of expanding a network of small local oil refineries, arguing they could supply remote regions and be harder to disrupt than major plants.
The meme takes that idea literally: a villager selling “homemade” AI-92, AI-95, AI-98, and AI-100 gas in glass jars by the roadside.

“Look, comrade sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”A Soviet-era grocery store meme: grandma shows her granddaughter an empty fish counter and says, “Look, sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”
The joke is that in Soviet times, “calorie deficit” wasn’t a diet plan — it was just everyday shopping.
