Orthodox Epiphany celebrations

I like it when you guys have me constantly scrambling over to Google with new search terms.

lets see......NEctor Makhno.......Epiphany........

It would seem that quite a bit of this naked dunking in ice water we've been seeing posted in this thread and others could be related to epiphany celebrations. In one article I dug up, it said 30,000 in Moscow went out on one occasion to participate or watch. My eyes popped out a bit as I imagined thousands of Kazantip babes going for a dip in the skinny. But I gather not everyone was there doing it naked.....:) Still, 30,000 is a lot of people......but maybe 29,500 were camera weilding tourists....?

thanks!

Only in Russia....
 

Nude pig sking...

or if the hog won't pull ya...

then ride that poker.

OK, Osreb - you win the originality award. Now what in the heck do I make of this? I have all these folders this COULD go in, but where does it really belong? Babes with animals? NIP? some obscure event? Russian way of life/at home? I mean, topless winter pig racing is not something that comes up in searches every day. But the Russians are clever, and can often disguise NIP pics so that they look like real casual nudity pics. Sometimes, I really don't think they know the difference or care anyway, as nudity is often treated so casually that they may just forget it is there.

Anyway, this is just another example of why Russian pics are in a class by themselves. So often, you just have to shrug and say "here's another crazy Russian pic". Nobody else puts this type of thing up. The Japanese are in a class by themselves too, because they also put a lot of stuff up that is totally unique to that culture. Compared to those two countries, we all look a bit ordinary and predictable when it comes to nude pics (with the UK being a bit of an exception)

Could easily fit in the WTF thread.

Klondike

Osreb
Thank you for 10 000 posts.

thanks warm
 

to Klondike;

Awe! But you had to look back.

My MO is to surf the web, group pics in cataigories and post them on the appropriate thread.
i do surf some Russina sites and find pics that I feel are worth posting on your threads.

I do not have the time to look back in threads that are 20+ pages to see what is posted.
He11; sometimes I don't remeber what's been posted yesterday;

And some pics are posted on different threads and different forums. As you said a lot of OCC
regular posters surf teh same web sites.

My take on repost is thay are lke a favorite movie; you like to watch it several times and although you know the ending; you still enjoy the show.

I do enjoy your threads, pics and comments.

I feel we have a great forumand thanks to all who contribute.

I'll try and post only pics on your forums I think are new; like the pig pics.

The rest I will will post on my Anything Goes thread.

osreb

First off, congratulations on your 10,000 post.

Sometimes, your MO runs a little afoul of my MO, thats all. Other times, like with the pig post, it is surprisingly original. You never know. But here is my take on how you surf. You have a category for russian stuff, for example, and you fill it with pics you download from threads like this one. Then a few days later you reupload those same pics to the same thread. My MO says to try and make "an effort" to keep these threads as free of reposts as possible, because if I want to see a pic again (Like a favorite movie), I would rather do it on my own time and initiative (Most people do not redownload a movie to watch it again - they simply pull an exisiting copy from their hard drive). Anyway, how you make that effort is up to you, but it need not take a lot of time. My browser, for example, saves all pics I download from OCC with the filename "Attachment.php" So, right off the bat, I know that a pic with that title came from here. There are other ways that don't involve sifting through pages of threads. Like simply create a folder for this particular thread, not just Russian stuff in general. Its a lot easier reviewing 100 pics in a folder on your hard drive than it is in a large OCC thread.

i think it has been brought up before that simply recycling the same pics in the same thread may not always sit to well with the person that authored and takes pride in that thread. Anyway, thats all I got to say, and probably won't say it anymore so as to get on with the good stuff (of which you do contribute quite a bit of.....thanks again)

right on Klondike
 

All these different MOs is what makes OCC great.

This babe is posed naked in public; but she is Russian.

they are reposts and are off topic, Osreb. Your 1/22 post was off topic too, but was not a repost.

Can you read my first post to this thread, then try and stick to wilderness pics? Check back through the pages to get an idea...

You are running afoul of my MO again....after a few more pages of pics like this, people will forget all about what the original intent of this thread was. They will think this is now what the thread is about, and will post accordingly. Can you see my point?

thanks,

Klondike

If Pennywiseguy2, 69|69 and others can understand and abide by the rules of this thread, you can, Osreb. Up until now, the vast majority of the pics posted here have been on topic and totally new to me and OCC. This thread is important to me and to those others who have worked hard to find pics for it.

These pics you put up will get tons of thanks, for sure. But that is besides the point. I do not know any other way to say this, but I will fight to preserve the integrity of my threads!

thank you,

Klondike

I'll make it as easy as possible....from page one

And I picked on Bronne here too (back in post 258) so don't think it is just you, Osreb.

Here is the achillies heal when it comes to posting on narrow topics: Threads covering narrow topics ALWAYS run the risk of being swamped and overrun by pics that are closely related, but much more numerous. This is why I also have worked to keep retro naturist and voyeur beach pics out of my naturist thread. And I will continue to work to keep my "nude beach by country" threads clean also, as well as the Campus naked run thread. So, be warned - what i see so often is that these thread slowly become generalized, and Osreb, you play a role in that, sometimes a big role. A generalized thread then becomes just like any other generalized thread, and so on and so on. "Anything goes" may be the watchword for your thread by that title, and I have no intention of ever challenging you on that because that is YOUR thread, not mine. And any time you want, you can start your own Russian pic thread, or whatever, and I won't touch it. In fact, you can create any rules for it you want, and I will abide by them 100%, no matter how strict they are!!

If we all don't try to maintain some control over thread integrity with respects to topic and reposts, then the forums will just become a free for all. There is so much content here as it is, just try and imagine what it would be like if every thread was called "naturist pics" but really contained hardcore pics, etc. I will always try to be specific about my thread topics on page one, post no 1, and I don't write that stuff there just to amuse myself. And sometimes you have to read the fine print, too, because "Russian" can mean a lot of things, and if that is the only word you remember, then well, it just might not be enough.

I see a lot of people joining the forums these days who tread carefully and take pains to respect thread topics and repost issues. You can tell when they write stuff like " hope this is OK to post here, etc" or "let me know if this is a repost or is off topic" etc. These people strike me as being veterans of the boards, and so they know how they can harbor all these little turf wars and territorial battles sometimes. Probably they have all been burned, too - it happens to every one of us, believe me.

So, I've been ready to pounce here in this thread because I knew the day would come when it would start to veer off course. It was inevitable. And when that happens in other threads, Osreb, your name seems to always be at the top of that post. I know you would rather surf and post than organize and read, but you are like a speeding motorist sometimes that doesn't stop to read the street signs or speed limit signs. its just green light all the time.

Which is, once again, why our cars just keep colliding.....

Don't remember these rain/wet/mud moments from Пустые Холмы '09.

A selection of the interesting pictures at http://www.10sqmeters.runa.ru/report...E20001TXT.HTML ; to endear yourself to me (perhaps even to Klondike!), figure out how to get large versions of them: note that these all have file names ending in TEENSY size specifications...And on a related "please help" note, the search term Водохреща which I just found today seems to mainly return (among many other things) versions of the traditional Epiphany ice-dip, but with enough religious overtones that only very rarely do I get the degree of undress seen in the last picture here: is there a better search term to use (if it helps, "vodohrescha" is the transliteration most commonly found)? Tx

"Водохреща", in Ukrainian, "крещение", in Russian.

Question for Klondike: young russian swingers
 

Maybe klondike or someone else has the answer to this question. I saw a clip of what appeared to be a large group of young and very attractive russian young people arriving at a house and then being interviewed, documentary style. Does anyone know the origin of this video; it looks legitimate in the sense that it is a serious study. I would like to see more. thanks.

I can't say specifically that I know of that vid, but you might try any one of a number of Russian or eastern European outfits that produce "pseudo naturist" vids like RussianBare, Holy Nature, Helios Natura, Naturistfreedomtv.com, and purenudism.com. Content varies from authentic naturist to just a bunch of hot babes prancing around in front of the camera.

Some wilderness
 

Couldn't find a reference to a location in the album, but looks Altay-ish (definately remote wilderness). Don't think we've seen them here, but could be wrong.
