Russian authorities have imposed a state of emergency around about 500 towns and villages because of wildfires burning across the west of the country, officials said Monday.
Most of the fires -- among the worst ever to hit the region -- were started accidentally by people burning garbage, dropping cigarettes, or failing to extinguish campfires or barbecues properly, Emergency Situations Ministry representative Irina Andrianova said.

That's Pakistan, not Russia. I'm not entirely sure if you were serious or not, but it confused me for a moment as well, since I heard about both disasters in a short time.
Let's see...A fire, a flood, child abuse... What prophecy does that fulfill again?

About 1000 russians have also drowned swimming while drunk.

But the passion and penchant for tragedy!
That's a sensible prophecy. Nostradamus really missed a bet with that one.
This reminded me of an 8-bit Theater strip where they drown in fire (also marginally of the DrownBall Olympics).
But i looked in over 500 strips and i cannot find it :sad:
Living in Russia is basically like being shat on by all of history.
That bad? I need to read up on russian history more. Sounds funny.
Russian history really starts with the Mongol invasion. Then things got worse.
:lulz: Well, I'm sold.
