I remember Mediashark had made this blog with answers to all the dumb questions people ask about Russia. Here's my answer to one of them:

Yes, there are bears in the streets in Russia.

I have never been half a metre away from such a dangerous creature before (he came to have a look at the camera after I made the pic), but I can't say I am thrilled by what is happening here. This little fellow should be with his mama and not on the streets, entertaining tourists in St. Petersburg.
