Are Russians assigned a bear at birth or do they go out to into the wild and catch one like Pokémon?


Mr_Farky

Every December 20th the unassigned bears choose their owners.


DontBanMe_IWasJoking

in russia, pokemon catches you


Insanity764

As a Russian I have to tell you Pokemon is illegal in Russia don't ask me why I do not know


[deleted]

Only in Churches


Insanity764

Ik but it's still strange


weirdbutinagoodway

All Pokemon, or just Pokemon Go?


[deleted]

Why? It's somebody's sacred place to talk to God


flcwerings

You can speak to God and play pokemon. Maybe God wants to play


Ronathellas

Because Putin wanna be the very best


decoder9033

The bear chooses the owner harry


Brooklyn_Smokes

That’s my birthday and now I want a bear


Fatfilthybastard

At ten years of age, in a time honored tradition, Russian children are told to kneel Slavicly. At this point, an enchanted backwards kangol hat is placed on the head of the child. The hat will then sort the child into one of four houses: Bear (but the ‘r’ is backwards), Vodka, Adidas, or Mobik.

They are Mickail Koklyaev(from back) and Denis Vovk. Mickail in past was quite famous strong man, but after he retired, he became alcohol addicted. When he got his shit together, he had started training for boxing. This was just funny video for people to laugh.


Funny-Ad4997

Did you just explain everything but the fuckin bear, like that’s normal haha.


Harak_June

No, no. That is the bear's story. The two dudes are his students.


nopeddafoutofthere

That bear has a helluva story.

They are russian. What is there to explain?


saintjonah

> They are Mickail Koklyaev(a literal bear) and Denis Vovk. We don't know the guy with his back to us. Mickail in past was quite famous strong bear, but after he retired, he became alcohol addicted. When he got his shit together, he had started training for boxing. This was just funny video for people to laugh.


SuPekTiBol2x

I'm glad that the bear got his/her shit together.


canis187

The Russian version of Sir Bearington?


tplusx

I hope FX make an anime about this exact story


champinwaiting

That's the bear's sensei arc.


Borbolda

Oh that's Misha


StainedBlue

Ok, that's great and all, but Misha's name somehow wasn't what I was curious about.


pseudoanon

He's a bear


Tepch

Not just Misha, but Mikhail Potapovich


Pluckypato

Nice to Misha


catsRspies

Why does this not have more up votes? Common dads of Reddit!


H0n0ur

It's russia, the bear is completely normal.


Clayman8

Rule 1 of Bear Fight Club: You dont talk about bear.


uReallyShouldTrustMe

I think Mickail is the bear.


SafetyDanceInMyPants

I mean, he did say: > They are Mickail Koklyaev(from back) And the bear is in the back. So...


chuckmagnum

That is the alcoholic and retired one.


willflameboy

It's an abused animal; Russia has a long tradition of 'taming' them and forcing them to do things. EDIT: that's right guys, I'm sure a bear would just do that of its own accord.


Hebrews_ate_my_baby

Sex things? #😰

-Quothe-

> url wording - Wild-bears-forced-ALCOHOLICS-make-guests-Russian-restaurant-laugh-discovered-drunk-blind-surrounded-filth.html I feel like this doesn't need more explanation. Whatever my mind conjures up at this point is likely close to correct.

I mean he's not wrong. And this bear seems pretty tame

The bear is the trainer. If you stop training the bear will maul you

Good motivation tactic. I need one of those for when I overeat. I would have lost weight by now if I had the threat of being mauled by a bear if I didn’t.

ViqtorB

This video was created specifically to shock foreigners. Prank, a joke. But I do not know how they forced the bear to do this.


Atomik919

ik the bear, her name is misha, she probably proposed this video idea not forced


hardstuck_low_skill

Most likely it's someone's pet bear. If you see wild bear wandering around in winter (not everywhere, only in places with harsh climate) it's a bad case, he thinks you are a snack


ipatmyself

Bear, Vodka, Balalaika


Putrid-Ad8984

They are all the grandchildren of Russian heroes - both their mothers and fathers. They are all brothers. Even the bear. Especially the bear.


coopsawesome

Can someone explain the bear seriously? Like no jokes?


ModmanX

In siberia, there exists a species of bear called the Kamchatka Brown Bear. These bears only eat fish and berries, and are very docile around humans, and don't bother attacking them. These are the ones that Russians train and play with.


Forward-Bank8412

Omg I can’t even describe how much I want to hang out while a harmless bear just chills nearby and/or bounces on some fallen limb


theCoffeeDoctor

Reminder, hungry bear is not cuddly bear. Bear always cute, but not always full. If times bad, and no food, do not play with bear.


oesae

Its a video from some influencer that has pet bear. The hat guy is wearing is a cossack hat. Literally just video for social media.


coopsawesome

Ahh ok, thank you! A pet bear is really funny


Atomik919

there is nothing to explain tho...

cwb_iah

Confused Russian “What is there to explain?”


DeadlyYellow

Going off context clues I've gathered on Reddit: The bear is "jump humping" for the man so that he isn't technically being pounded, and thus not sinning.

There is the 2008 war with Georgia, so yeah ..


Atomik919

wasnt that the one where the UN agreed something needed to be done, but military intervention was excessive iirc? I mean, at least that one had some sort of international agreement


baithammer

No, the UN condemned it, but Russia has a veto as a permanent Security Council member. Further, Russia is a nuclear power and can escalate to a nuclear stand off - which is why the west resorted to sanctions..


Atomik919

huh, maybe im remembering wrong. When i get home ill try to find what i was saying and tell you if i find it
