In February, Russia celebrates one of the most important “man” holidays of the whole year: "The Day of the Defender of the Motherland." On this day, all Russian men and boys are congratulated. The holiday refers to the heroes of the Red Army and plays a tremendous role in patriotism amongst younger generations. Weeks before this holiday, computer users will often receive numerous spam email messages with offers for this day. In Russian spam we constantly see different product spam, and often gift spam for the 23rd of February. But, this year—as seems to be the case every year—some extreme propositions came up. Hunting is a very popular hobby in Russia, so it comes as no surprise that before the 23rd of February, spammers started sending offers such as the following: Translation: Bear hunting in spring and autumn on south of Kamchatka peninsular.
