Lenin photo in guardpost
In the guardpost building you can see through a small opening, a photo of Lenin on the wall.
Poster of Stalin
In the barracks buildings found on Kolgujev, in the hallway you can see posters hanging and one of them is a picture of Stalin.
Static Artillery
Perhaps this object is just decoration or did BI plan to have it in OFP but wasn't able to finish it in time? We will never know. You can view the site at grid HE77 on Everon.
Man with Briefcase?
Maruk hinted to the community about a Man with Briefcase in their site? What kind of secret is hidden behind this?

Hummer with names above wheels
Above the wheels of the Hummer you can see "DnA", "Sith", "AnG" & "rUiZ"(?) written on it. These are the names of some of the developers for BI.
Mysterious Stonehenge
Nogova and Malden each have their own, what appear to be Stonehenges, how did they got there?
(Nogova: BB14 & BB15 / Malden: EF20)
Nogova Gas Station
This one is quite scary, you can see an evil smiling face on the poster between the pumps, with some czech text on it (english translation of that text is: "You'll be blissful only with us."). Name of the gas company is also parody to real czech company, Benzina. The evil smiling face is actually a BI employee, Viktor Bocan.
Elevator Shaft Text
As you reach to top of the highest aparment building you can see something written on the wall in the elevator shaft.
Island filenames
Eden (Garden Of Eden), Abel, Cain are first sons of Adam and Eve.
Some of the Islands resemble real-life pendants (Everon - Krk-, Malden - Tenerife-, Cain - Levkas) or are heavily influenced by real world environments, e.g. on Nogova you´ll see much ruins and villages that are clearly inspired by some in the Czech republic.
