In a word : perseverance . Partly the traditional , inspiring , one man against all betting odds type of persistence , but more the obsessive , borderline insane persistence . But whatever , this dude’sbuilding his own metro , like a CITY , so I should probably exclude up .
His name is Leonid Murlyanchik , and he is a mensh . ( Is there a Russian watchword for that ? Is mensch even considered German anymore ? We should just take up call them “ Murylanchiks ” now anyway . ) His narrative , based on what small I can harvest from English Russia ’s sparse captioning , go something like this : Leonid retired , and pile up a healthy pension . He decided he need a hobby , and apparently , safe expatriation . So he file away some composition , draw up some plans , buy some material , and got going . He built his own concrete mixer , and began compass .
There ’s a lot more that we do n’t know , but make for a riveting Mad Lib : Why ? ( Fun ! ) ; Where does it go ? ( To a little terror keep ! ) ; When will it be cease ? ( In time for the rest of the human race to fall into impossible topsy-turvydom and demolition ! ) ; What will the cars seem like ? ( The heads of defunct Disney Characters ! )
But in the absence of these fact , countenance us just enjoy another : There ’s an honest-to-god man in Russia , apprehend out about 1 meter of filth a day , properly now , for a personal subway system . Lots more picture taking at the source . [ English Russia ]
