What are the streets in Russia like? Are there bears on the streets?

Russian streets are flanked by red banners. Hail Stalin. There are those statues everywhere. They materialize in the middle, on the left and right of the road. Stalin, Lenin, Marx, some Great Patriot of the Great Patriotic War, Stalin, Lenin, Marx, some Great Patriot... Birch trees give shade to these heroes of our time.

Bears roam among the birch trees. Bear-hunting is very popular in Russia. Everybody has a gun. Sometimes a stray bullet from a mis-fired shot can lead to mafia-style showdowns on the street.

Actually people are just shooting at one type of bear called a 'flathead'. They are a very large species, have black coats, are not very clever and make up in size for their lack of intelligence. Rich Russians like to keep flatheads as pets. Flatheads are good pets because they also protect their owner and are able to fit them in a Mercedes Benz. They bring them everywhere with them, but sometimes people mistake them for a stray or wild bear and shoot them. That's how gunfights start. Some flathead owners train their more intelligent flatheads to use firearms to defend themselves.

People make fur coats and fur hats from the hunted bears. Tourists like to buy fur products with Lenin pins on them.
