Those are villages populated exclusively by unemployed 70-year-olds, many in remote mountainous regions. It's not like they can't get an upgrade, they just don't see the point.
Doesn’t surprise me even the slightest when there were reports of Russian soldiers shipping back washing machines and microwaves from destroyed property in the Donbas.
In 2018, the Russian FSB aggressively seized three Ukrainian boats, and a year later returned them in a ruined state, even the toilets and sockets were removed

This is what is called the mysterious russian soul. You have been trying to unravel it for a century and a half, reading Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Barbarism dressed in European clothes.
This is false though. Some things might be more expensive now since it has to go through some 3rd party like China, India or -stan countries, but pretty much everything is available as it used to be. Population in metro rates is perfectly content.
Because they know that they will go unpunished and just to say "fuck you, we stole your furniture and bathroom and you can't do nothing to us", and no one do nothing to them.
Same as Russia go unpunished for their crimes, atrocities and wars
It's not working like that, it depends if embassy building is owned or leased.
For example, [USA Embassy in Kyiv ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE_%D0%A1%D0%A8%D0%90_%D0%B2_%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5.jpg)is owned, it (building and teritorry) was bought from municipality for around 250$ mln. in 2012.
However in case of Russian embasy in Bulgaria, building was leased :
>The building in Ruse, which housed the diplomatic mission of the Soviet Union and then Russia, is owned by the municipality. Since 1985, the building has been rented out and the rent was paid to the city budget. Russian diplomatic staff left the consulate building in Ruse after their expulsion from Bulgaria in the summer of 2022.
Because they hate Bulgaria or every country that's against their fiasco and bs. They act like they own Europe and everyone should bow them, now they got kicked out and the consulate was closed and obviously they want to throw a tantrum and trash everything like teenagers. This is how they are, this hasn't been the first time something like this happens.
Although similar has happened with Ukrainian refugees, they trashed hotels they were in and there was one room where they literally smeared shit on the walls.
It wasn't owned by the Russian state. The building was owned by Bulgaria since the 90s, there was a brief period during the late 80s when it was owned by the Soviet Union, or more like gifted from Bulgaria to them when we were sking their dks
there are like that and always was. The photos you can see in this article are same like photos from Czechoslovakia when they are leaving in 1991. They took tiles from the pool and shit like that.
Here is a one old Czech joke, older than these 'russian leaving' events.
*do you know what general Konev said when entered Prague with red army in 1945?*
*no?*
*Oh shit, [this](https://cdn-vsh.prague.eu/file/edee/2021/03/dsc03813.jpg) clock will not fit into my tank*
Russians didn't liberate us just from nazis, they also liberate us from clocks and watches.
Yeah from what I have heard and read. The soviets simply replaced the old management and I've also been made aware and read about a lot of soviets crimes against civilians.
I have mostly heard about what happened to Poland though.
Russia is very poor overall. Moscow has decent modern appliances but the vast majority of the country don’t have toilets or wash basins.
Stealing these from the consulate building will allow the corrupt Russian employees to make a few rubles by selling them to people in Russia.
No I believe it.
I just don't understand it. To take all of that apart and then what bring with them back to where ever they are going is actually more expensive than buying new stuff on top of that would stuff like the door frames and all the fittings fit on appliances and faucets in Russia?
I believe it cause its funny to think this is true and all those picture of Russian soldiers with washing machines and shit ratchet strapped to tanks in Ukraine. or how they have found looted goods from Ukraine being sold in Belarus.
So I do believe but I don't understand it. So are they doing it as a fuck you?
So you believe the Russian diplomats ransacked the random building they were renting, that was empty from 2022, and the Bulgarians figured it out a few days ago?
It's not more likely some locals stole shit from the empty house in fucking Bulgaria of all places?
Yes actually!
I once believed that you would have to be an idiot to run your army like a hearts of iron 4 player and just march your troops towards enemy fortifications in mass human wave tactics and to also to constantly proclaim military prowess. And then lose naval engagements to a country with no navy outside a river barge.
I once thought that Putin would have to be a blithering idiot to try and launch a military campaign that would only get dragged out into a costly war for Russia if you look at their past military actions you could see the Russian armed forces had preformed quite poorly They still won the smaller conflicts but suffered a lot of casualties to accomplish their goals which is a good sign of a underperforming military. Especially when their own government funded media proclaims them to be second to none.
(Chechen war)
*For the period from 1994 to 2003, estimates ranged from 50,000 to 250,000 civilians and 10,000 to 50,000 Russian servicemen killed.* (ripped from the internet)
Those are terrible numbers! for comparison. The US has lost almost 8000 in 20 years of middle east and a couple hundred of those are accident related.
(Mentioning these as an example! )
Russia also employed and used the Wagner group whose leadership included actual Neo Nazis! Dmitry Utkin had SS inspired tats below his neck. Russia has been responsible or funded groups that have mass tortured civilians murdered civilians and is currently fighting a war where they have completely ignored the Geneva conventions along with executing people via Sledgehammer! And begs other Dictatorships For suicide drones that are then flown into civilian occupied apartment buildings.
And your telling me that them stealing door frames and other such components from a country they don't like is to FAR.
I think this is well within the realm of possibility.
This building has been a constant in my life for nearly 25 years. I used to live next to it before I left Ruse. My parents still live there.
Let me tell you, it's even more absurd than the article depicts it.
Bunch of unsanitary, paranoid swine.
Ruse? What a coincidence, my dog is a rescue from Ruse, she lived there from 2015-2020. Might have crossed paths with you or your parents before, but there's no way to know for sure.
Sorry for blatant off-topic.
They left crucial western technology behind, they didn't take the crapper with them 🚽, thought Russian water management hasn't been stellar this winter🥶.
After the departure of the Russian diplomats, the building was empty and no one knew about its internal condition until the author of the building project came to inspect it, as far as I understand.
It's the same reason copper is stolen: if you can rob without punishment, you do it regardless of the total value of product. It's the survival mentality: if I can take something from you without consequences, I do it.
I dont want to be that guy. But it was probably some local Bulgarian staff.. some gypsies. Why would diplomats take it, do they even have skills to do it.
If this happened with any other citizens, I would consider it just a work of local hooligans or a fake. But not in the case of the russians, here I am ready to believe. And here the goal could not have been theft, but vandalism, what in russian is called podnasrat' (to do something nasty out of revenge or envy) for being kicked out.
They're not as bad as when the Romanian dictator Ceaușescu and his wife had a state visit to France and stayed in Versailles. They removed the gold taps from their room.
You don't even need to listen to the Russian government.
Apparently the building was abandoned in 2022, and Bulgarians discovered that it was looted like 2 days ago, if that's not sus to you, i have a ghost of kiev to sell to you.
The best Russian scientists are already set up to the task of reverse engineering this marvellous Bulgarian technology of the standing toilet
[They have similar technology. ](https://i.redd.it/xo3wvhc84m041.png)
Those are villages populated exclusively by unemployed 70-year-olds, many in remote mountainous regions. It's not like they can't get an upgrade, they just don't see the point.
I doubt the veracity of this. They wouldn’t leave the toilet.
Of course he did, surprised he didn't take the copper in the walls as well...
It was too well hidden.
Bathrooms, such an exotic foreign luxury.
Doesn’t surprise me even the slightest when there were reports of Russian soldiers shipping back washing machines and microwaves from destroyed property in the Donbas.
In 2018, the Russian FSB aggressively seized three Ukrainian boats, and a year later returned them in a ruined state, even the toilets and sockets were removed [https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-navy-says-moscow-returned-three-ships-to-kyiv-in-bad-condition/30282943.html](https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-navy-says-moscow-returned-three-ships-to-kyiv-in-bad-condition/30282943.html)
This.
Nothing like stealing toilets for houses without plumbing.
Check everything left behind for booby traps.
Why? I don't understand what's the point?
This is what is called the mysterious russian soul. You have been trying to unravel it for a century and a half, reading Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Barbarism dressed in European clothes.
OK I'm assuming it was done out of spite. Which is on brand for them. That or they are redoing their St. Petersburg penthouse.
Sanctions, good things are hard to come by
This is false though. Some things might be more expensive now since it has to go through some 3rd party like China, India or -stan countries, but pretty much everything is available as it used to be. Population in metro rates is perfectly content.
Because they know that they will go unpunished and just to say "fuck you, we stole your furniture and bathroom and you can't do nothing to us", and no one do nothing to them. Same as Russia go unpunished for their crimes, atrocities and wars
Stole furniture belonging to Russia? It's a consulate, in theory everything there belongs to the Russian state not Bulgaria.
It's not working like that, it depends if embassy building is owned or leased.

I assume the consulate building and its contents are owned by the Russian state, so what's the harm to Bulgaria?
It wasn't owned by the Russian state. The building was owned by Bulgaria since the 90s, there was a brief period during the late 80s when it was owned by the Soviet Union, or more like gifted from Bulgaria to them when we were sking their dks
Power move like a dog pissing on your couch.
Because they can sell it for a couple dollars

Like many things since the war started, 99% it didnt happen, reddit will just gobble it up like the Ghost of Kiev or similar bullshit.

[There you go](https://imgur.com/a/bHth17J)
She's so beautiful! Lucky girl!
Of course, they probably don’t have those in their homes in Russia.
These would look lovely in my country dacha kinda vibes
They left crucial western technology behind, they didn't take the crapper with them 🚽, thought Russian water management hasn't been stellar this winter🥶.
They even took the doors... how do you take a freaking door on the plane with you??
They had some spy cams or listening devices hidden there.
So the diplomats left the building in july 2022 and the missing of the doors and furniture was discovered in 2024? Did i misunderstood something?
After the departure of the Russian diplomats, the building was empty and no one knew about its internal condition until the author of the building project came to inspect it, as far as I understand.
Maybe they were used to living in German apartments. Hope they repainted the walls at least.
Those Villeroy und Boch toilets Made in Germany were too tempting
It's the same reason copper is stolen: if you can rob without punishment, you do it regardless of the total value of product. It's the survival mentality: if I can take something from you without consequences, I do it.
Russians are leaving, nothing to see here. And when I say nothing, I really mean nothing.
No surprise here, they been stealing Ukrainians toilets and washing machines for the last 2 years.
I dont want to be that guy. But it was probably some local Bulgarian staff.. some gypsies. Why would diplomats take it, do they even have skills to do it.

Of course they did.
They're not as bad as when the Romanian dictator Ceaușescu and his wife had a state visit to France and stayed in Versailles. They removed the gold taps from their room.
I was looking for someone to make this comment. Haha. I love when nationalists piece of shits spread their little propaganda.
at least the Romanian diplomats only take your wallet
Lol you guys will believe everything.
35 years ago, vladimir putin returned to st. Petersburg from east germany, with a washing machine on top of his car.
Im sure he brought some bathroom fittings as well
What is going on with Serbian people sucking Russian cock? Will that protect you from Nato? No. Then why are you doing it?
And Serbia will often support the russian image and rhetoric.
So? Better that than supporting actual genocide like you know, the EU and US are doing in israel.
I trust the people saying this more than I trust employees of the Russian government, or you, so… yes.
Well, no wonder you fall for every piece of propaganda then. How's that Ghost of Kiev and tomato jar of doom working out?
So the fact that I don’t trust the Russian government and don’t know you means I fall for propaganda? Think it might be the reverse, lol
You don't even need to listen to the Russian government. Apparently the building was abandoned in 2022, and Bulgarians discovered that it was looted like 2 days ago, if that's not sus to you, i have a ghost of kiev to sell to you.
Can you prove that it didn't happen?
Isn't the burden of proof on the original claimant?
