There are funny pics, memes, and cringey videos we shamelessly devour on the internet, eating up our productive time like there’s no tomorrow. And then, there are funny Russian pics that take the entertainment to a whole new level.
The Twitter page “No Context Russia” is basically a virtual home to this kind of content. The posts seem to reflect the very core of “Russian reality” taken out of context that feels both hyperreal and surreal at the same time. Think of “Stal’in Doner” or a man covered in brown paint chopping a watermelon in half with his bare hand—things are really weird on the other side of the world!
Scroll down, upvote your favorite Russian reality moments, and be sure to check our previous post on what “A Normal Day In Russia” looks like as presented in a compilation of weird and wonderful pics.

Not really. First of all, Russia is a big place. Lotta cultures and weirdness to go around. Second, and more importantly, they only post the weird pictures that are from russia, to fool people into thinking that this is the norm in russia. If I went around the US wearing dead raccoons on my shoulders, it would be extremely weird. They'd post it to a russian site that says "No context US pics". But in reality, its just in WV that you'd see that, particularly the mountains. Case in point.
