This is an intresting birdie that I file under the 'ducks' section, tho technically speaking it isnt. The name is 'Eurasian coot', or simply a coot duck (Fulica atra in Latin, "лысуха" in Russian). It has an outstanding, amazing "piercing" voice abilities and gigantic legs... and a crooked sassy nature. (You will understand what I mean when you see how they attack a much bigger ducks of different species, hehe... True bandits!)

Below is uncropped version of the photo:
