Officials in Perm reported that they had cleared snow — at the end of June.
They simply waited for summer until the snow melted on its own. Residents had complained about the snowbanks back on January 19, but the response came only five months later.

Russian tourists have found a genius way to get around Sochi for free with a personal driver.
They are mass-booking showings for houses and apartments near the beach, so real estate agents drive them to the area. Then the tourists simply walk away and go sunbathe, realtors complain.
Over a week, tourists can save more than 10,000 rubles — about $134 — on taxis this way. The scheme has been around for a second year, but this summer it has become widespread.

In just three months, the number of such searches jumped tenfold — from 4,000 to 44,000 per week.

A domestic violence ban would discourage Russians from getting married, a State Duma lawmaker said.
According to Nina Ostanina, head of the Duma Committee on Family Protection, “guys will be afraid” of impulsive police reports from women and may refuse marriage — or fall under the childfree ideology, which is banned in Russia.
She argued that such a law could push men away from marriage and having children.

A Russian gas station sign glitched into life advice.Instead of showing prices, the fuel board spelled out “Ходи пешком” — basically, “Just walk.”
Given Russian gas prices lately, it accidentally became the most honest sign at the station.
