A Russian pensioner named Gennadii Valyaev drove his SsangYong Actyon SUV off the streets of Saint Petersburg and down into one of the city’s metro entrances on Wednesday, apparently just to "see if it would fit." A smiling Valyaev cranked up his music to make the most of the acoustics in the underpass while commuters snapped photos of the ridiculous situation. Emergency workers have removed the offending vehicle and the Petersburg Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation.
A Moscow mum appeared to be having snow much fun last weekend as she struggled through the recent record snowfall, doing what appear to be lunges in a comical attempt to push her baby through the powder. Over 17 inches fell in just 24 hours on Moscow last weekend, breaking a record last set all the way back in 1957.
A bridge over the Vitim River in eastern Siberia is certainly one of the scariest and most dangerous crossings on the planet. This 66-foot-high, 1,640-foot-long bridge is barely wide enough to fit a vehicle on it and comes without any safety railing. Despite its below-par condition and old decaying wooden flooring, the bridge is actively used daily by some 1,500 people at their own risk. The bridge was built around 30 years ago but was never officially put into operation.
A very bizarre series of events happened Wednesday night in the northern Russian city of Apatity. One local man got very intoxicated, stole this armoured personal carrier, or APC, and rammed it into a Semya grocery store, crushing a small sedan on the way. Coming out of the tank in a stupor, the man managed to grab a bottle of wine from the supermarket before running off.
Witnesses could not help but admire the determination of paramedics in Russia’s Komi Republic on Saturday, January 6 as they saw what they thought were paramedics desperately trying to attend a call out, despite their ambulance losing a rear wheel along the way. Fortunately, as clarified by the Komi Republic’s Ministry of Health, another ambulance (presumably with all four wheels in place) was able to attend the emergency.
Video from Tuesday shows the aftermath of a huge snowstorm that hit the eastern coast of Sakhalin Island, dumping over a yard of snow across the city and up to two yards in some places. Locals had to make their way through huge snowdrifts with blizzard winds whipping their faces while trudging through knee-deep snow. A few thrill-seeking residents flipping backwards off cars and even jumped off balconies into piles of white fluffy snow in a sport they called 'extreme diving.'
