MOSCOW -- A Siberian dairy plant was temporarily closed Friday after its workers had been found bathing in milk, a Russian consumer oversight agency reported.

Trade House Cheeses, a dairy producer in Omsk, about 1,600 miles east of Moscow, was closed for 90 days by regional authorities for an urgent inspection after complaints resulting from photographs and a video posted by one of its employees on a Russian social network.

In the photographs and video clips posted on New Year's Eve by worker Artyom Romanov, a group of undressed employees relax in a container of milk as part of their celebration. While still partly undressed, they then demonstrate cheese making in a clownish manner.

“But in reality our work is very boring.)))))” Romanov wrote in a caption accompanying the images.

2. I suspect there were more "White Russians" involved than the ones in the picture.

14. My sister once worked in a fish plant in Oregon where some of the old guys...

... would jump into the tubs of ice and fish and roll around. Now, at least they had all their clothes on -- and boots, too -- because everything in the place was sub-freezing.

Sis didn't stay long as it was just a transitional job, but jeez, the stories.

4. Well, isn't that a nice "companion piece" to the recent Vanity Fair article.

They can't send those guys to Siberia, though...they're already there!!!

I wonder how many people have decided they like their coffee black?

7. Similar was posted by the media late 2012, not 2013,

on the subject of the size of Russia's population in connection with the cessation of the adoption of children by foreigners.

8. Ha....very interesting point, that!

You can't have our orphans--we keeping 'em for ourselves!

9. Another disinigenious article....

that intentionally left out the change in birth rates. Sadly even Forbes is aware those numbers are now incorrect. http://www.forbes.com/sites/markadomanis/2013/07/25/dying-russias-birth-rate-is-now-higher-than-the-united-states/

[MADem]

15. Not at all. Good effort, but no sale.

We don't need a continuously high birthrate--we can fall back on immigration, as we always have when we have a need to plus up.

They aren't lining up to get IN to Putin's Paradise. They're lining up to LEAVE.

And Forbes? Really? That's your 'go - to?'

But, so long as you brought them up, let's actually read the article:

It’s also worth noting that Russia’s birth rate will, in the not too distant future, start to decrease as the tiny cohort born during the chaos of the 1990′s comes into prime childbearing years and replaces the relatively large cohort born during the 1980′s. It’s unlikely, then, that Russia’s birth rate is going to exceed that of the United States for very long: there is, at most, a 4-5 year window before structural factors take over and reduce Russia’s rate while bolstering that of the United States.

Forbes' article seems more worried about "white people." Not surprising, that.

And Forbes didn't have a thing to say about the social issues confronting Mother Russia--those are significant and they're rotting away at the foundation of the nation.

5. That actually looks like a lot of fun - can I join in?

[frazzled]

6. They clearly need more day spas in Siberia

I should imagine it is indeed boring working at a dairy plant. Hasn't anyone thought of a game of chess or ... say ... happy hour after work?

10. I almost

lost my appetite.

[pinboy3niner]

11. Police are now looking for more accomplices...

They're rounding up everybody with soft, silky skin...

[Lancero]

12. Why do I have the feeling...

That they also... hmm, how should I put this... added some of their own milk to to the vat?

[Hekate]

13. “What happened in this dairy plant in Omsk is, of course, a case of sheer idiocy." Well, yes.

Wouldn't want to think of giving my kids a glass of milk from that facility.

On the other hand, look how smooth and lustrous the complexions on those grown men are!
