stalin-crop-140.jpgRegular readers will guess where this is headed. Yes, it’s another example of how sad life is in places where they don’t have U.S. television and can’t catch the new season of Dexter, old Laverne and Shirley reruns and stuff like that.

We reported on the Belarus military’s lack of decent entertainment in a posting last year called When troops don’t have access to cable TV, and clearly things haven’t improved. There just isn’t much to do there.

This latest picture shows soldiers totally missing the point of a limbo party. I mean, if this guy can’t limbo under that burning hunk of limbo debris, they’d better cut off his pina coladas for the night!
