Ok. So, basically, driving in Russia is f*cking terrifying. There are TONS of accidents and it is nearly impossible to receive any sort of compensation for damages (manage to catch the offender, get insurance coverage, then you have the corrupt officials to deal with) unless there is concrete evidence; hence the recent (and brilliant) serge in constantly recording dash board cameras.
Oh, and Russians REALLY like to take out their aggression on fellow drivers. Well, the men do. Notice there are no women pictured. It's called civility.
If you are wondering about the "poor" fellow who seemingly falls down in front of the car around 1:13 and then gets his ass kicked for it, well, apparently that's a common ploy in those parts. That fall was no accident.
It's a straight up wild west out there. And it makes for some damn good footage! Enjoy!
PS. If anyone can tell us what the heck is going on around 2:33 we'd LOVE to know...
