There was one with a guy posing topless with a mask and a samurai sword in front of a huge carpet, with the pic of his fave fluffy dog in the corner. I don't seem to be able to find it right now but it's fucking epic.

We here usually call that type of carpet a "Persian carpet". We don't put it on the walls, but it does decorate quite a few interiors.

This is a Russian thing? I grew up with carpets on my walls. :) (The hand knotted ones really are works of art, so it felt like a shame to risk spilling stuff on them/ruining them. So instead we displayed them like the amazing tapestries they are.)

Soundproofing and insulation. Plus to cover up crappy wallpaper. Also with soviet shortages when you see something being sold you better buy it. And unlike dinnerware sets (which every self respecting soviet family had multiple sets of) you can't just hide carpets in the cabinets).

The people in the pictures doing some weird things is one thing - but you must admit the carpets themselves look great.
