Flights these days are crazy. But flights in Russia? They’re on a whole other level.


Our cold brethren in Russia are known for a lot of things: baldness, drinking, animal husbandry, great dash-cam videos — you’re probably already familiar. One thing they’re not necessarily known for, however, is their tact. This can be seen in a video posted to r/PublicFreakout, which shows a man on an S7 flight in Russia losing his goddamn mind.



In the video, the man can be seen getting up and beginning to fidget. After a few seconds, he freaks out, attempting to strangle another passenger before being restrained and, finally, escorted off of the plane.


We don’t know when or where this happened — not for lack of trying, but because it seems like this sort of thing happens on Russian airline S7 all the time. For example, back in 2019, a Russian man ended his flight being taped to a chair after attempting to storm the cockpit.


A year prior, a different passenger “took off his clothes and ran around the cabin” before beginning to hit a flight attendant. Earlier this year, there was even a Russian version of the “not real” lady — a man who refused to let the S7 aircraft take off because he said he saw ghosts.



So if you’re considering a flight to Russia, don’t. Or, if you must, at least take a few MMA classes beforehand and get ready for a good fight.
