You better think twice if you think the Russia of today is anything like the Soviet Union of the 1950's - 1960's.
In a land war in Europe between Russia and NATO, Russia would have us for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Putin has done a tremendous job of restoring the pride of the Russian people. Modernization continues. After the breakup of the Soviet Union and after the Yeltsin years, yes, Russia was in pretty bad shape. The current tensions are directly the fault of the neo-cons that have taken control of the US government. The better elements of Russia's past have been restored as well. It is a highly cultured country.

Lol...Russias natives are dieing off from alcohol abuse, majority of population is living in subpar conditions, while unimaginably rich elite thieves feed them bullshit, blaming west for their issues, which are actually directly caused by ruling class. In a real war they would bite the dust VERY fast, all that is left from past glory is quickly dissapearing too, its a done deal, oil prices brought them down on their knees all that cold war is just for the show for poor russians, to make them feel like they are suffering for a ''great'' Russia

I like Dave, but I HATE these types of "squats" (you know, Westside-like). Ridiculous stance width (only achievable with a monolift), multi-ply suits and highly questionable depth (a.k.a. none).

That Russian is the real deal. If I'm picky, I'd like to have seen another inch or two into the hole, but all things considered, that is a spectacular and awe-inspiring feat of strength.

Very impressive.

Is that officially recognized?
The guy who spots him is Kirill Sarychev who holds raw bench world record.

How the hell does that count? Its like the people who arch their back so much during a bench press, and move it like 1". Ridiculous.

Depends on what you call officially recognized. It was done at the WRPF World Championship, the WRPF being one of the (too) many powerlifting organizations. This one has been created last year by Sarychev, Malanichev and Konstantinov. It's a "raw" powerlifting organization but knee wraps are allowed.

here an example of another "raw" PL org, where knee wraps aren't allowed:

each org tries to differentiate itself from the concurrence by creating its own rules, making more difficult the comparison between 2 athletes from different organizations.
