The Russian Affliction

By

Sorry for the lack of posts but it’s been a crazy week. Next week doesn’t look much better. I think I know how this Russian miner feels—only I haven’t been at the bottle. The blurb that accompanies the video says the miner being interviewed is denying that workers have a drinking problem. As far as I can tell, he’s just complaining about how long it’s been since the miners were paid. Whatever he’s saying, his tipsy colleague is a great example of that all too common Russian affliction. (Via mum.)
