Think it's an "all new" Russia? Not really, judging by this article:
Hey, tanks a lot! - Yahoo! News
The article says the tank must have malfunctioned before running into someone's home. Sure, the malfunction was alcohol-related. Vodka to tank-driver results in...malfunctioning!!
But I do appreciate the comment made by the homeowner..."Thank God they didn't shoot." (Slava Bogu!) Thank goodness indeed!

Voting for the Bear
Russia's new president, Medvedev (Medved is a bear), likes western rock music. Wow, why is that so amazing to the western press? Nearly every Russian I know likes western rock.
I would be more surprised if the United States' new president liked Russian rock, and had someone sing it on stage during the inauguration. Now wouldn't that be a blast, of sorts?
Congrats, anyway, to the new "liberal" president! Keep in mind liberal (in Russia) does not mean tree hugging environmentalist who votes yes on gay marriage. It means...willing to make changes. As long as Vladimir Vladimiromich (Putin) agrees. Hmm. We'll see. Cross our fingers.
Note: Wikipedia has Medvedev's height listed as 5'4". I wonder if that will change once he takes the office.
