Russian Street Musicians Tour Across Europe and Asia in Soviet-Made Volga Cars

Description

A creative collective from Moscow calling themselves the Sunrise Expedition have been making waves on Russian social media for one of the most ambitious adventures ever undertaken by a musical group. These traveling musicians, illustrators, and tattoo artists have traveled tens of thousands of miles all over Europe and Asia on Soviet-made Volga cars in order to perform concerts wherever the wind takes them. They drove out from Moscow in fall of 2016, traveled across Asia to Bali, Indonesia by car, and arrived back in Moscow in early 2017, becoming the first musicians to perform in Tibet in the process. The Sunrise Expedition have embarked on a new journey called "To the Atlantic," with the aim of driving all the way out to the famous surf city of Nazare, Portugal. Ruptly caught up with the adventurers in Berlin.

Ice Drift Madness Competition Revs Up in Irkutsk

Most people have heard of drifting competitions, when drivers purposefully slide their cars around corners, but drifting has a cooler and more dangerous cousing - ice drifting. One of Russia's most popular ice drifting competitions is called Ice Drift Madness, and it takes place in the Irkutsk Region around the end of January. Two vehicles drive super close to one another and slide through turns on an icy course, with points awarded for maximum angle of the car during the turn and the closeness of the vehicles during the maneuver.

Man Creates 'Soviet Snowplough' from Classic Lada Car Chassis

Tired of struggling through the snow in Russia's cold winter, 59-year old inventor Nikolay Rodin built a snowplough to clear the rads using a classic Soviet Lada car in his Siberian home city of Barnaul. The bumbling beast of car, rattling through the roads on giant caterpillar tracks with a freshly painted Lada chassis, should probably be called the Soviet Snowplow from now on. It took Nikolay three months to convert the old Lada 2107 Zhiguli into a snowplough, which he uses to clear the roads near his home. The caterpillar tracks on Rodin's home-made snowplough allows the vehicle to turn a full 360 degrees. Now his neighbours call him 'Uncle Kolya' - he's become famous in his neck of the city for his ability to restore cars and to build high quality car prototypes. What do you think about clearing some roads with the Soviet Snowplow?
