Russian Cop talks about Corruption
In this video a Russian Police officer talks about Corruption in Russia and his views on the Police in Russia. While on my Year Abroad I had dealings with the Police but I never met an officer like him!

Bearing this in mind this fellow is either very brave or very stupid. The video does has English subtitles.

A blast from the past
As you may have gathered from the lack of blogging fourth year involves A LOT of work basically every night. However it has been proved that a person learns in 45 minute cycles and that after 45 minutes you should take a break for about 15 minutes then start again. While on one of these 15 minute breaks I stumbled across this on youtube. It amused me when I was little and is as funny still today proving that cartoons like Bugs Bunny really do stand the test of time.
