Russians Eat Cats, Rats And Rock Sandwiches
JASON Kottke has a list of recipes from Leningrad during the Nazi seige:
Soup from pets and domesticated animals
Meat is ranked by taste in the following order: dog, guinea pig, cat, rat. Gut the carcass, wash well and place in cold water. Add salt. Cook for one to three hours. For aroma: bay leaf, pepper, any sort of herbs, and, if available, grain.
Things in Russia are very different now. Now they have bread and fillings.
As English Russia notes,
If before you could bring back home some Matroshka dolls from your trip to Russia now you can take some new Russian hits - gift stones painted in popular Western colors like “Marlboro” or “Wrigleys” up there.
Use teeth sparingly…

Read it again, it says “during the Nazi siege”. But the bit about hating black people is often,sadly, true. I believe the word to listen out for is “Chorney”. My ex mother in law kicked out some Russians from a shoe shop in Hounslow when she heard them say the word. Anorak, do us a favour and take off this racist dickhead’s comments please.

I’d like to visit the vodka museum, though it would be cheaper if I just hit myself over the head with one of the rocks…
