More importantly, why the fuck does the map key use different colors than the map?!
This map is actually outdated, at least for Russia. Voice overs used to be a thing here back in the 90th(like, there was even a memetic guy who is still pretty famous for his omnipresent yet incredibly shitty voice overs he used to do back then. Some people of my age find them super nostalgic by the way), but now all the movies are fully dubbed by a whole cast of professional voice actors, and it's been this way for the last 15 years or even more. TV shows, however, are a complete different story. Being less profitable, they are usually dubbed much worse, but there are several good voice actor teams(implying there are more than a couple of guys in them) working exclusively on doing voice overs for popular tv series.
This is like a fucking renaissance painting

Aftermath of the flood in the town of Oude-Tonge

A destroyed refrigerator marked with graffiti challenging potential looters to steal it in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, late 2005. Whether directly hit by floodwaters or not, thousands of fridges owned by the residents of New Orleans were rendered unusable in the aftermath due to the food in them rotting away as the city remained flooded and powerless for weeks.
Refrigerators were often one of the first things thrown out and remained on the curbside for weeks, waiting for normal trash collection to resume. Some locals decided to spray messages on their refrigerators, ranging from messages of encouragement, jokes about the damage of the storm, and criticism of major figures involved with rescue and cleanup efforts. A popular phrase was "Heck of a job, Brownie!", mocking President George W. Bush's compliments of the way FEMA and its director at the time, Michael D. Brown, was handling the disaster.
Grant Imahara sure aged poorly since Mythbusters.
To be honest there wasn't much difference between the two.

That's fun and all, but that thing would definitely snap and i'd knock my head open on a treestump.

Ten-year-old Kazimiera Mika, whose older sister was killed during a German air raid, is comforted by American photographer Julien Bryan, Poland, 13 Sep 1939
"As we drove by a small field at the edge of town we were just a few minutes too late to witness a tragic event, the most incredible of all. Seven women had been digging potatoes in a field. There was no flour in their district, and they were desperate for food. Suddenly two German planes appeared from nowhere and dropped two bombs only two hundred yards away on a small home. Two women in the house were killed. The potato diggers dropped flat upon the ground, hoping to be unnoticed. After the bombers had gone, the women returned to their work. They had to have food.
But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow.
While I was photographing the bodies, a little ten-year old girl came running up and stood transfixed by one of the dead. The woman was her older sister. The child had never before seen death and couldn't understand why her sister would not speak to her...
The child looked at us in bewilderment. I threw my arm about her and held her tightly, trying to comfort her. She cried. So did I and the two Polish officers who were with me..."
The things that happened in WW2 were insane. My grandfather was hunted by a german plane in very much similar way, a single aircraft on patrol just picked him out in the field and tried to gun him down with machinegun fire. He jumped into dense tall grass and the pilot lost track of him - he still blindly covered the grass in gunfire, but did not hit my grandfather.
