Hello everyone,
a bunch of pictures from the Minsk office of Wargaming, how it was “decorated” during yestarday’s Day of the Defender of Fatherland holiday (held in Russia and Belarus as well). These photos were posted on Wargaming instagram.
….why is there a whole bunch of dead fish wrapped in newspapers served around?
“Tank industry factory”
“Heavy industry, basis of the might of our country”
way to go serB, use a file to cut the cake, had to hide all the knives have they, worried whose back it will end up in?
It’s an inside joke – SerB’s nerfy chisel.
It’s a file guys…
The first thing I think of is its a joke for Serb, “your too important to risk using a knife” kinda nice really.
Nice office, really cool motorcycle display, waiting to take Serbs Messages to the internet front!
I have to ask, because no one else seems to be mentioning it; Why are they calling it the Fatherland? That’s Germany, Russia was the Motherland in all our History books?
Don’t even reply back that the Western World has been Calling Mother Russia the ‘wrong’ name for 70 yrs.
Ha, actually Western World was using the names wrong. It comes from general public stupidity and lack of knowledge, where they just want a single moniker to designate something so everyone knows what they are talking about.
A common way for Soviet people to refer to Soviet Union was “otechestvo” which translates loosely to “Land of our fathers” and therefore, translated as Fatherland by people who couldn’t care less.
The other common name is Rodina, which means “Place of my birth” but mistranslated as “Motherland”.
The reality is that neither word carried a significant weight for Soviet people when referring to their country in a sense “we must call it that!!!!” It’s more of colloquial or nickname nature of the word, so Western world insisting on calling Russia/Soviet Union by it is somewhat stupid.
It would be like Eastern Europeans/Russians referring to America as “‘Murika” in press and TV. While it sure lets people understand what they are talking about, it’s hardly an appropriate word to use.
‘Murika, fuck yeah!
Delete that.
Start over.
Ok. I had no idea that People who knew both Russian and English languages disliked the term Rhodina or Mother Russia. Most Americans I know look upon, “Mother Russia” or the “Mother Land” with great respect militarily. It was Mother Russia that defeated the Nazi Army in WWII. That’s what we were told. The term “Ivan” I can see, but whatever, ty for enlightening me.
But to my real point before you made this offensive to Russians, for that I thank you my friend, this is an English site. Written in English.
Did anyone of you dipshits who happen to know so fuking much about one word wrong translations happen to “know” what “FatherLand” translates to in English? Huh, you dipshitted ‘murikan’ know it all?
The Nazis. The Nazis are the Fatherland, in “English”, here, on this site. Genious.
So, you look like you hired an idiot who doenst understand English, to translate Russia to this “English” site.
Now Phuck off.
I apologize to all my Russian Tanker friends, Happy Defenders Day!

you mad Jon?
…
SerB nerfed the cake T-34 ;)
They did a good job Photoshopping the baby out of that first picture.
lol
that fish with news paper :)
Fish is for a easier drinking of vodka – check a word “zagrycha”.
ugly cake
that dead fish is vobla
“Salt-dried vobla is a common Russian meal or snack that goes well with beer.”
sounds interesting, doesn’t really sound tasty tho XD
sounds fishy if you ask me!
if it’s well prepared and dried than vobla tastes good
Kippers are nice but I don’t think I’d want a beer with one…
Im pretty sure it doesnt go very well with the paper or printing ink :)
It’s surprisingly alright.
Just dont eat any yellow press.
It’s something pretty common in Russia or Bulgaria. In Southeast Asia people eat dried microfish as some sort of chips which is sold in huge bags @+35°C…
Image the flavour!
Its just as tasty as british fish and chips – which traditionally also is served from the shops in a cone of wrapped newspaper.
Beer is called “liquid bread” – why does one need a snack for it :D
How is that brainless shit still here?
It tastes very good with beer, but is very salty, so whoever doesn’t use a lot of salt with their food, won’t enjoy it as much. Personally, I love it.
Fish needs to swim (in beer)
I was thinking more of a Godfather reference for the EU support team. They’re going to sleep with the fishes… :)
Is SerB going to nerf KV-1?
hope so :S, the armour + gun on that is a deadly combo.
KV-1 is slow. I enjoy the T1 HT much better, and on any battle tier it gets into.
can’t imagine the horror of bringing out the KV-1 only to see tier 7s.
That’s why I loved my Bdr G1b :)
T1? you mean that moving target practice? I’d rather use a BDR or KV1. Hell, I’d outperform the T1 on the Churchill.
that “cake” t34 is not historical. well done WG. another fail.
HD Tanks are outsourced to a bakery, that explains the problems with the HD models.
ROFL
And why belorussians celebrate ruskieland holiday?
An cheap excuse to drink some…
First they fail to restore tanks, than they cut one to pieces!
GG
… der Kuchen sieht aus als wenn jemand draufgekotzt hätte …
Third picture : Made in VN :D

Do me a favor and tell the viets in the viet forum to stop the cheating, rigging, and general stupidity. We already get the message that viets are better than thais or pinoys in losing.
1st picture: So that is how SerB nerfs tanks :P
nonono bad SerB! don’t nerf the cake!
“The new KV-1 HD model left a little to be desired”
