New trend on the web: mystical rules of life in cities
Internet / / December 30, 2020
Twitter has launched a new series of unusual "rules of life" threads, where users paint mystical "tourist guides" in the style of urban legends - mainly in Russian and Ukrainian cities. We have collected several examples of such threads. They are all long enough, so click on the main tweet to read them all.
St. Petersburg
The rules of life in the city of St. Petersburg:

1. Bridges are not built for ships. That which at night takes to the streets of Vasilievsky Island - without eyes, without a face and without a body - cannot move to the other side.

2. If you think that the most dangerous part of St. Petersburg is the old fund with well houses, then you are wrong. Local spirits are already used to people. And those from the outskirts, who were recently disturbed by the builders, are still quite wild.

9. Sometimes you can see old women who come to wide lawns and begin to throw large pieces of bread to the seagulls. These old women lived here long before the founding of St. Petersburg. Seagulls and other birds are not allowed bread; and they soon die. And the old women, thanks to this ritual, continue to live.

Moscow
The rules of life in Moscow.
Moscow is a city of movement, efficiency and optimism. Optimism can be feigned, it doesn't matter. It is important not to stop, not to get stuck looking at the historical facade or an unusual bench. Because then the Void will stand behind your shoulder.

Walking downtown all night is a great idea if you are with friends and you are having fun. The louder you laugh, the safer it is. Moscow not only does not believe in tears - Moscow can punish for them.

If you are bored with feigned optimism, go to any forest park at night. It is not a fact, however, that after a few hours it will be you who will come out of there.

Moscow City towers seem unfriendly not only to you. And, of course, they disfigure the face of the city. But those on the roof are so carried away by the boiling life below that they don't even try to go down.
Let it be. Do not stop.

If in a sleeping area a passer-by asks you for something strange - give it. It's none of your business why he needs a Vzletny candy from your pocket at night on Vykhino. How he knows what's in your pockets doesn't matter either.
It is important that in due time he will remember the service rendered.

Kiev
The rules of life in Kiev
Do not forget to visit the Motherland periodically, admiring its scale. Human faith helps her to keep locked up what she was built to guard

You should not get carried away with swimming in the Dnieper for two reasons: dirty water and the one who interferes with the construction of a metro to Troyeshchina. So far, the authorities are not ready to pay the price for the third time, at which we got the red and green branches
- Sil Cobalt for #FreedomYule Tsvetkova (@amnesiamango) July 6, 2020
Don't be too happy to be lucky enough to have pairs in the red KGU case. Inattentive and problematic students help him maintain his iconic color
- Sil Cobalt for #FreedomYule Tsvetkova (@amnesiamango) July 6, 2020
If you are surprised by the name of the South Station, which is located in the same building as the Central Station, you should know: they just do not like the idea of using the same station as people, and there is not enough space in the center

Rostov-on-Don
The rules of life in Rostov-on-Don.
The unknown hovers at the height of a bird's flight. Any Ferris wheel serves as a portal to it. Just remember that the wheel is unlikely to let go of the one who once climbed it. Unless only the physical shell, nothing more.

The eternal lights in the squares smell at night not only of gasoline, but also of sulfur, and this is not just that. The flames sweep away what it carries on the other side of the city. That is why fires are so frequent. If you look into the fire for a long time, you will move away and give a piece of your soul to that other distorted Rostov
- Spruce leaf (@ krisakrolings1) July 6, 2020
On Teatralnaya Square, at night, by themselves, without the wind, bells under the stele are called a requiem. But these bells have no tongues.
- Spruce leaf (@ krisakrolings1) July 6, 2020
The Rostov metro, which does not exist, was actually built a long time ago. But only it carries not people at all, and therefore it is reliably hidden from prying eyes

Tver
Okay. The rules of life IN TVER!
1. At night, a red light burns on the roof of an unfinished hotel. You will be told that this is a radio tower. You can even believe it. Just don't go past the "shot" when the light starts to flicker. And if you find yourself, run. Maybe you will have time. pic.twitter.com/9b15h7MvI1

3. Mikhail Krug is sitting on a bench on one of the boulevards in the center. As long as his guitar is being stolen, everything is fine. When she stops disappearing... well... pic.twitter.com/07mIobJ9iU

7. A person selling cotton candy in a city garden loves children and is always very hungry. Remember this.

10. Few people know that the fire that destroyed half of the city in the 18th century, including the Kremlin and ancient churches, did not start by chance - and was the cheapest price possible.

Zhytomyr
Someone had to do it. The rules of life in Zhitomir.
Do not be angry with the police who patrol the square behind the House of Justice and disperse noisy flocks of teenagers. Sometimes the Foundation Stone of the city is in a bad mood.

Coming to the Polish cemetery, remember that this is not your decision: it is just that the One Near Whom the Shop is Standing again wanted to remember the smell of cigarettes.
- hellcat (@iamhellcat) July 8, 2020
Try not to lose your vigilance when walking in the park at night. You don't want to wake up in the greenhouses of the Agrouniversity in the morning, do you? Local potatoes love new faces.
- hellcat (@iamhellcat) July 8, 2020
Do not forget to buy a cigarette from Granny when you are in Nizhnyaya Poleva and say thank you. Granny has been sitting there for a couple of hundred centuries, but she remembers every polite boy and girl. And you'd better be one of them.
- hellcat (@iamhellcat) July 8, 2020
They lie about the Sokolovsky quarry: no one drags people anywhere. It's just that He has a summer residence here in case reporters in Scotland are very annoyed, and sometimes unlucky bathers are carried down a tunnel in Loch Ness by an undercurrent.

Of course, some do not even try to pretend that they write seriously.
The rules of life in the Village of Fools.
1. Every day a sailor comes to your hut and offers to drink moonshine. Then a woman hits you both. Don't think about why this happens every day, over and over again. Everything is fine. It should be so. Knock Knock.
