15 of the strangest people of Russia

Among us are people who are a little different from all the others. Their appearance, behavior, unusual actions or passion. Many consider them freaks, but without them the world would definitely be less bright and interesting.

We asked colleagues from different parts of our vast country to tell about the fellow who hit them, fascinated, or shocked — and maybe even forced to reconsider the views on what is considered the norm.

Man is a platypus from Perm

1. Evgeny Bolotov — bodymodification, experimenting on their appearance. His lips plates, the bottom stretched by 60 mm top 33 mm. And he's planning to stretch "to infinity". He stretches and earlobes, made tunnels in the nose, and now between the nostrils cannot pass even a pencil. And he pierced her nasal cartilage, and now his nose is bent like plasticine. Eugene is very proud of the fact that he is the sole owner of the piercing on the planet.

However, the guy complains a Perm in hazardous areas have the face, just in case to close. It is still unclear how the real guys you meet will greet us on the dark street: not all in the Urals, understand and accept such "beauty."

Maiden from Togliatti

But it was not always so: growing up, Galina was allergic to the cold, over the years, a whole bouquet of ailments, from joint disease to cancer. She enrolled in the school of longevity, was treated for several years, bathed in water, doing exercises on the joints. And now feels great.

Doctor found in Novosibirsk clinic: hormone preparation, a complex operation that cost 900 thousand rubles, and long months of rehabilitation. She had three surgeries and nine corrections of the face and body. Now the girl otherwise Lady Sasha is not known. That name stuck to it thanks to the new image.

Former military decided to change my last name to very unusual — the President of the great-Russia-Babin. Just four words and a hyphen!
