One very inebriated man named Ruslan Nigmatullin did a very stupid thing as he tried to evade the police during a car chase in Russia's Kazan. He drove onto the grounds of an airport and got himself boxed in between the terminal and his pursuers. With no where else to turn, the drunk 40 year old decided to try to smash into the airport building and repeatedly rammed the glass doors leading to a terminal of the Kazan International Airport on Wednesday night. Nigmatullin finally broke through the dooor and his car swerved into the baggage claim, only stopping after he crashed into a small restaurant. He also tore down an auto barrier, hit some vehicles in a parking lot and caused more damage inside the terminal. No one was injured in the incident and police detained the driver. The airport's cost of damages is estimated at 6 million rubles, or nealy 100 thousand dollars. Credit: kazanreporter.ru

Before his death in an Arctic prison last month, Navalny urged Russians to protest on March 17. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, has reiterated his call and said protesters should show up in large numbers at the same time to overwhelm polling stations. IMAGES

Victory will allow the former KGB agent to stay in the Kremlin until at least 2030, longer than any Russian leader since Catherine the Great in the eighteenth century and eclipsing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
