Reports are coming in from around the former USSR stating that the cockroach population is decreasing at a worrying rate. The story seems part urban legend/part scientific curiosity. You might think people would rejoice at the lack of cockroach activity, but of course there always comes the rough with the smooth:
Some see it as a sign of further ozone damage... and the end of the human race
Could it be mobile phones??? Why is everything always blamed on mobile phones?
Forum posts believe it to be a sign of the apocalypse.
One particularly far out theory suggests it might be the result of cockroach wars. Hmm...
Any truth to the rumours? Possibly, but maybe not. There are lots of references on this Wiki page to Russian articles regarding the scientific basis. I suspect it's the USSR just wasn't that good at manufacturing cockroach poison. They were too busy beating America into space and digging really amazing submarine bases.
