And why are there so many birch trees...
This is a branch of humour! The photo is not of Sochi at all, but somewhere north of America.
P - let pedestrians run awkwardly through puddles
And water runs over the pavement in rivers,
I can't see why I'm so jolly on this bad day.
I'm not sure why I'm so cheerful.
How to get rich, the original 10 ways.
10th place.
Surely many of us have thought of this genius idea - to take out a loan from a bank for, say, a billion dollars, and then buy that very bank and forgive yourself the debt. Except none of those people have yet figured out how to convince that institution to lend them that amount.
9th place.
An enterprising American boy found a very simple way to make a profit. After buying the Nintendo console, coveted by all American kids, he cooked it up in the microwave without thinking twice. After that, a new lot appeared on the internet auction - a baked console, worth $6,000 and a poster: "You wanted a black Nintendo? Cock it up!".
8th place.
Two residents of the Irkutsk region, crossing the bridge of the Chuksha river, suddenly realised that they were literally going for the money. Without thinking twice they got out of the car and began dismantling the bridge, or rather its cast-iron grates, hoping to make what they thought was a handsome profit. A passing policeman caught them in the act and prevented them from executing their business plan.
7th place.
An Ingush entrepreneur has found a way to make a fortune from fish waste. He built a fish skinning factory that he used to make highly sought-after original shoes, jackets and accessories.
6th place.
Tour operators in Germany are no strangers to this business. Weekend gold panning tours in the Rhine, on the border with France, are gaining in popularity. Businessmen, office workers and ordinary working people are gambling with shovels and standing knee-deep in cold water, hoping to find a nugget the size of a chicken egg and get rich beyond recognition. However, so far only tour operators have been making good money on this venture.
5th place.
American schoolboy Carl Gadjah realized that it is possible to make good money on everyone's favorite freebie. He created an online auction, where he started selling stuff like free tickets to concerts, product samples, gift disks, etc. with incredible dexterity. Some of his peers call Karl a "cheapskate", but he only chuckles and gets rich.
4th place.
Everyone is well aware of this story when a young American decided to trade a paper clip for something more useful. Then he got so carried away with the idea that he continued to do the exchange over the internet without spending a cent. And ten years later he got a mansion. It's a long way from a paperclip to a house, but there's no doubting its originality.
3rd place.
Elias Ferguson, left penniless, having sold out everything he could, was left with a pile of old newspapers that nobody needed. He made a small hut out of them and put it on the street with the inscription: "Tourist attraction from newspapers of the early 20th century. Collecting just a dollar from each tourist, he soon became rich.
2nd place.
A clever woman from the Czech Republic withdrew 440,000 crowns from her bank account. Then she tore each note into two unequal pieces and went to turn them in to different banks. For the small piece she got 25% of the face value, and for the larger part she got an equivalent note. Too bad she was arrested before she could take advantage of this hard work.
1st place.
First place is rightly held by Ukrainian entrepreneurs who, during the Orange Revolution, began selling jars of Maidan Free Air to sentimentalists. Since then the business has grown, and for a few dollars you can get a tin of mountain or forest air, sea or rain scent, basically anything you want for your money.

Vitaly Yusufov, the son of a former Russian energy minister, bought a 20% stake in the Bank of Moscow for about $1bn, taking a loan from the same Bank of Moscow. Now he is selling this stake to VTB for $2bn.
There is, of course, a catch, his father, former Minister of Energy of Russia Igor Yusufov is considered a confidant of Dmitry Medvedev. Therefore, the way will not suit everyone :))
