This Soviet-era Zil PEU-1B six-wheeled rover was commissioned during the height of the Cold War by the USSR to retrieve fallen satellites, space junk and even cosmonauts returning from orbit. The search and rescue vehicle has been lovingly restored to its former glory over three years on the territory of the old Zil factory in Moscow and is now roving through the countryside once more.
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.
